DECISION ON THE PETITION OF CONTRACT ENGINEERING CLERK'S OFFICE
FOR VARIANCES AT 7 FRANKLIN STREET. (B-1)
A hearing on this petition was held August 17, 1994 with the following
Board Members present: Stephen Touchette, Chairman; Gary Barrett, Stephen
O'Grady, Nina Cohen and Associate Member Arthur Labrecque. Notice of the
hearing was sent to abutters and others and notices of the hearing were
properly published in the Salem Evening News in accordance with
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A.
Petitioners are requesting variances from use, density, setbacks and
parking to allow existing structures to be demolished and to construct a
new building to be used for light manufacturing. The property which is
located in the B-1 district is currently owned by the National Grand Bank.
The petitioners are under a Purchase and Sale Agreement.
The Variances which have been requested may be granted upon a finding by
this Board that:
1. Special conditions and circumstances exist which especially affect the
land, building or structure involved and which are not generally affecting
other lands, buildings and structures involved.
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would
involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioner.
3. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the
intent of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance.
The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented
at the hearing, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings
of fact:
1. The existing structures are vacant and dilapidated.
2. The petitioner proposes to demolish the existing structures and replace
with a new structure.
3. The petitioner conducts a light manufacturing business involving the
precision crafting of machine parts for the semi-conductor industry.
4. The petitioner is currently operating the business in Beverly.
5. There is currently six (6) employees, all would have on site parking.
6. Petitioner receives inventory shipments approximately once a month and
customer deliveries involve small packages requiring the use of a pick
up truck.

the required number of parking spaces. CITY OF SALEH, HASS
C,LEPK'S OFFICE
8. The petitioner proposes to use essentially the same footprint as the
existing buildings on the lot.
9. The proposed use is less intense than previous uses and fits with the
other commercial and industrial uses in the area.
10. The Ward 6 Councillor, Sally Hayes, and the Ward 4 Councillor, Leonard
O'Leary spoke in favor.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented
at the hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1. Special conditions exist which especially affect the subject property
but not the district in general.
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would
involve substantial hardship to the petitioner.
3. Desirable relief can be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the
intent of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance.
Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted unanimously, 5-0 to grant the
variances requested, subject to the following conditions:
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 with the exception that the front of the building be no
closer to the lot line than shown on the plans.
3. Petitioner shall comply with all requirements of the Salem Fire
Department relative to smoke and fire safety.
4. A building permit is to be obtained prior to beginning any
construction.
5. A Certificate of Occupancy is to be obtained.
6. A Certificate of Inspection is to be obtained.
7. Any drainage problems will be addressed, especially with respect to the
abutter at 96 North St.
8. The petitioner shall install sidewalks in front of its premises in
conjunction with the Planning Department and consistent with he
improvements of the abutter, Merit Oil Corp.

SCHEDULE A
The Petitioner is the purchaser under agreement of the
property commonly numbered 7 Franklin Street, Salem. The
Petitioner desires to remove the existing deteriorating structures
and to construct a new building on the premises.
The Petitioner conducts a light manufacturing operation. The
work involves the making of semi-conductor parts based upon design
plans submitted by customers. The operation is a clean, quiet type
operation. All work is to be conducted inside the new building.
The premises are currently in a Commercial Zone. For many
years the premises were used for foundry work under the name
Jefferson Bronze Company. Jefferson Bronze Company ceased doing
business some time ago. The premises are currently in a state of
disrepair and the Petitioner plans to build a complete new
structure, all as shown on the attached plans which are a part of
this Petition.
The area is one of mixed uses consisting of commercial and
industrial. The Petitioner believes that this new construction
will provide new taxes and job opportunities, will bring new
business into the City, and will considerably upgrade a parcel of
land that has been let go for several years.
Therefore, the Petitioner requests Variances from the density
regulations per Article VI of the Zoning Ordinance in order to
permit construction of the building as shown on said plan, and a
use Variance to permit light manufacturing. The Petitioner
