Decision
City of Salem Zoning Board of Appeals
Petition of ROGER P. DESCHENES and MARIELLE B. DESCHENES requesting a Variance from
minimum front yard setback in order to construct a 24' x 24' addition with a two car garage
underneath, on the property located at 19 PATTON ROAD (113).
A public hearing on the above Petition was opened on March 21, 2012 pursuant to Mass
General Law Ch. 40A, § 11. The hearing was closed on March 21, 2012 with the following
Zoning Board of Appeals members present: Rebecca Curran (Chair), Annie Harris, Richard
Dionne, Jamie Metsch,Jimmy Tsitsinos and Bonnie Belair.
Petitioner seeks a Variance pursuant to Section 4.1 of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinances.
Statements of fact:
1. In a petition date-stamped February 16, 2012, petitioner requested a Variance from
front yard setback requirements in order to construct a 24' x 24' addition with a two car
garage underneath.
2. The petitioner represented himself at the hearing.
3. At the hearing, no one spoke in support of or in opposition to the petition.
The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the public
hearing, and after thorough review of the plans and petition submitted, makes the following
findings:
1. Owing to special conditions on the property, which do not generally affect the
other parcels in this zoning district, literal enforcement of the provisions of this
ordinance would involve substantial hardship to the appellant. The topography
of the property is such that an addition could only be built in the front of the
house, encroaching on the front yard.
2. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good
and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of
the zoning ordinance, since the lot is large enough to accommodate the
expansion.
3. In permitting such change, the Board of Appeals requires certain appropriate
conditions and safeguards as noted below.
On the basis of the above findings of fact and all evidence presented at the public hearing
including, but not limited to,the Plans, Documents and testimony, the Zoning Board of Appeals
concludes:
1. A Variance under Section 4.1 is granted to allow for the proposed addition, as
shown on the submitted plans.
In consideration of the above, the Salem Board of Appeals voted, five (5) in favor (Curran,
Harris, Metsch, Dionne, and Belair) and none (0) opposed, to grant petitioner's request for a
Variance 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. Petitioner is to obtain approval from any City Board or Commission having
jurisdiction including, but not limited to,the Planning Board.
8. Unless this Decision expressly provides otherwise, any zoning relief granted does
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 or 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.
