DECISION OF THE PETITION OF JOHN HOSKINS & ELIZABETH(VI&ff@JRE�UFlSTR GI I
A VARIANCE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 22 LARCHMONT ROAD R-1
A hearing on this petition was held November 18, 1998 with the following
Board members present: Nina Cohen, Ronald Harrison, Richard Dionne, Michael
Ward and Stephen Buczko. 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.
Petitioner is requesting a Variance to convert existing attic to living
space, consisting of two bedrooms and a full bath. The roof line will be
changed as a result of the construction, but will still be less than
allowed in an R-lzone. The proposed project will not change the footprint
of the house and all exterior changes will be kept in harmony with the
house.
The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a finding of 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 land, buildings, or structures in the same district.
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 derogation from the
intent of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance.
The Board of Appeal, after careful considerations the evidence presented at
the hearing, makes the following findings of fact:
1 . The petitioners represented themselves .
2. The petitioners presented plans of the proposed dormer addition.
3. The petitioners also presented signatures from ten ( 10) neighbors
indicating there was no opposition to the plans.
4 . Raymond Troche of 24 Larchmont Rd. , who lives next door, appeared in
opposition saying he had not been informed of the proposed project. He
objected to a possible loss of light and its effect on his landscaping.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented
at the hearings , the Board of Appeal concludes as follows :
1 . Special conditions exist which especially affect the subject property
and not the district in general .
2 . Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would
involve substation hardship to the petitioner.

the variance requested, subject to the following conditions:

codes and regulations.
2. All construction shall be done as per the plans and dimensions
submitted.
3. All requirements of the Salem Fire Department relative to smoke and
fire safety shall be strictly adhered to.
