Decision
Petition of Antonio Nogueira requesting a Variance
for the property at 13 Fairmount Street
City of Salem Zoning Board of Appeals
A public hearing on the above petition was opened on October 18, 2006 pursuant to
Massachusetts General Law Ch. 40A, Sec. 11. The following Zoning Board members
were present: Nina Cohen, Steven Pinto, Richard Dionne, Elizabeth Debski and Robin
Stein.
The petitioner, Antonio Nogueira, sought a variance from the side yard setback of ten
(10) feet to approximately three (3) feet to allow for enclosing of a twelve (12)by sixteen
(16) foot deck for the property located at 13 Fairmount Street, Salem, in the Two-Family
Residential (R-2) zoning district.
The Board of Appeals, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the public
hearing, and after thorough review of the Petition submitted, makes the following
findings of fact:
1. The property at 13 Fairmount Street is within the R-2 zoning district.
2. The petitioner is requesting the variance to enclose a currently existing deck
that is located within the side yard setback
3. The requested relief would result in a three (3) foot setback instead of the
required ten (10) foot side yard setback required in the Two-Family
Residential (R-2) zone, per the city zoning ordinance Table I, Sec. 6-1.
4. A petition was presented by the owners of 13 Fairmount Street signed by ten
(10) neighbors in support of the project.
5. No members of the public wished to speak during the Public Hearing.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, including all evidence presented at the public
hearing, including, but not limited to, the Petition the Zoning Board of Appeals concludes
as follows:
1. The petitioner's request for a Variance does not constitute a substantial
detriment to the public good.
2. The requested relief does not nullify or substantially derogate from the intent
or purpose of the zoning ordinance.
3. A literal enforcement of the zoning ordinance would create a substantial
hardship to the petitioner.
4. In permitting such change, the Board of Appeals requires certain appropriate
conditions and safeguards as noted below.
In consideration of the above, the Salem Board of Appeals voted, five (5) in favor
(Cohen, Pinto,Dionne,Debski, Stein) and none (0)opposed, to grant the request to
amend the Special Permit, subject to the following terms, conditions, and safeguards:
1. Petitioner shall comply with all city and state statutes, ordinances, codes and
regulations.
2. All construction shall be done as per the plans and dimensions submitted to and
approved by the Building Commissioner.
3. All requirements of the Salem Fire Department relative to smoke and fire safety
shall be strictly adhered to.
4. Petitioner shall obtain a building permit prior to beginning any construction.
5. Exterior finishes of the new construction shall be in harmony with the existing
structure.
6. A Certificate of Inspection is to be obtained.
7. Unless this Decision expressly provides otherwise, any zoning relief granted doe
not empower or authorize the Petitioner to demolish or reconstruct the
structure(s) located on the subject property to an extent of more than fifty percent
(50%) of its floor area of more than fifty percent (50%) of its replacement cost at
the time of destruction. If the structure is demolished by any means to an extent
of more than fifty percent (50%) of its replacement cost or more than fifty percent
(50%) of its floor area at the time of destruction, it shall not be reconstructed
except in conformity with the provisions of the Ordinance.
