DECISION ON THE PETITION OF ROBERT C. BRAMBLE FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT
AND VARIANCES FOR 17 RIVER STREET (OWMER-DONALD & JOYCE DAVIES, TRUSTEES OF OLD SALEM REALTY TRUST)
_ 'A hearing on this petition was held on June 15, 1983 with the following
Board Members present: James Hacker, Chairman; Messrs. , Charnas, Hopper,
_ Piemonte and Associate Member Bencal. Notice of the hearing was sent to
abutters and others and notices of the hearing wef+ cgY.*aper-IT published in
the Salem Evening News in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A..
The petitioner has requested a Special Permit M3'ar,%ne4 tAj(�i1�w him to divide
the property into two lots, the first to containe the existing single family
dwelling and the second to contain the existing. q fa�}}ly 01ni ing, all as
described in aplan filed by the petitioner wit�n' t 3r,.d', AFp�eal. Each lot
would have zero sideline setbacks as the buildings are aVUChed. Petitioner also
requests a Variance from minimum parking requirements.
The Board of Appeal, after consideration of the evidence presented at the public
hearing and after viewing the plans of the property, makes the following findings
of fact:
1 . No opposition to petitioner's plan was voiced by neighbors;
2. The proposed division of the property will create two lots which
are not inconsistent with surrounding lots.
On the basis of. the above findings of fact and the evidence presented at the
hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . The petitioner's plan will not be substantially more detrimental to
the neighborhood nor to the public good than the existing non-con-
forming use;
2. The fact that the two dwellings connect and the way they lie on the
property creates a special financial hardship regarding the market-
ability of both dwellings on a single lot;
3. This hardship is unique to the property and does not occur generally
in the area;
4. The proposed use of the property will promote the health, safety,
convenience and welfare of the City's inhabitants.
Therefore, the Board of Zoning Appeal voted unanimously inf avor of approving
the grant of a Special Permit and Variances. The Board granted the Special
Permit and Variances under the following terms and conditions:
1 . Petitioner may divide the property into two lots as shown on the
Dlan filed with the Board;
