DECISION ON THE PETITION OF KIM FRANKLIN REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 20 SAVOY ROAD R--1
A hearing on this petition was held on December 15, 2004, with the following Board
Members present: Nina Cohen, Chairman, Edward Moriarty, Richard Dionne, Nicholas
Hellides and Bonnie Beliar. Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters and other and
notices of the hearing were properly published in the Salem Evening News in
accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A.
The petitioner is requesting dimensional Variances to construct an addition. Variances
needed from lot coverage and side yard setback for the property located at 20 Savoy
Road located in an R-1 zone.
The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a finding of the Board
that:
a. Special conditions and circumstances exit which especially affect the land, building
or structure involved and which are not generally affecting other lands, buildings or
structures in the same district.
b. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve
substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioner
c. 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. Petitioners Kim & Shane Franklin appeared with their Architect Walter Jacob and
presented their plans.
2. Petitioners need Variances from lot coverage and side yard setbacks to construct
an addition on the rear of their property.
3. Phil Pelletier of 22 Savoy Road appeared and spoke in favor of the addition.
4. Peter Dowdell appeared for his father who lives at 18 Savoy Road spoke in
opposition to the petition. Mr. Dowdell stated his father thought the addition was
too large and he would lose his ocean views, which he has enjoyed for many
years.
DECISION ON THE PETITION OF KIM FRANKLIN REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 20 SAVOY ROAD R-1
page two
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 do not exist which especially affect the subject property and not
the district in general.
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would not result in
unnecessary hardship to the petitioner.
3. The relief requested cannot be granted without substantial detriment to the public
good or without nullifying and substantially hardship derogating from the intent of the
district or purpose of the Ordinance.
Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted 3 in favor and 2 in opposition to grant the
requested variances. Having failed to garner the four affirmative votes required to pass,
the motion is defeated and the petition is denied.
VARIANCE DENIED
