The Petitioner requests Variances for relief from Sec. 4./.1 Table of Dimensional Requirements for a minimum side yard setback and minimum rear setback to allow the petitioners to construct a shared 12'x 12' deck. The Zoning Board of Appeals heard a joint public hearing for the two (2) petitions located at the properties 73 SUMMER STREET and 38 ENDICOTT STREET(Map 25 Lot 614 and 616) (R2). Statements of fact: 1. Petitioner Joanne Mattera,presented the petitions. 2. In the petitions date-stamped November 23, 2015, the Petitioners requested Variances seeking relief from See. 4.1.1 Table of Dimensional Requirements for a minitnum side yard setback and minimum rear setback to allow the petitioners to construct a shared 12'x 12' deck. 3. Property owner, Michael Giardi of 73 Summer Street requested a Variance for relief from Sec. 4.1.1 Table of Dimensional Requirements for minimum rear setback and property owner,Joanne Mattera, of 38 Endicott Street requested a Variance for relief from Sec. 4.1.1 Table of Dimensional Requirements and minimum side yard setback to allow the construction of a shared 12 x 12 deck. 4. Both petitioners propose to construct a portion of a shared 12' x 12' deck to the zero (0') lot line to each property. 5. Each petitioner will have access from their own properties to the shared outdoor space. 6. The Board suggests that the petitioners work with a land use attorney to write-up a deeded agreement between property owners for future neighbors. 7.

At the public hearings one (1) member of the public spoke in favor and none (0) spoke in opposition to the proposal. City of Salem Board of Appeals December 30,2015 Project: 38 Endicott Street and 73 Summer Street Page 2 of 2 The Salem Board of Appeals, after careful consideration of the evidence,presented at the public hearing, and after thorough review of the petition, including the application narrative and plans, and the Petitioner's presentation and public testimony, makes the following findings that the proposed project meets the provisions of the City of Salem Zoning Ordinance: Findings for Variance: 1. Special conditions and circumstances that especially affect the land, building, or structure involved, generally not affecting other lands, buildings, and structures in the same district is that the buildings consume the entire lot and there is no existing outdoor space. 2.

Our two properties abut—her side door with my back door (visual material provided in the application package)—and we would like to build a shared twelve-by- twelve-foot deck. This petition is similar to Mattera's, as we have prepared it together, though we are filing separately as required. Historic Salem has its charms, but space is not one of them. Separately we have virtually no private outdoor space. Together we would have a small space for the quiet enjoyment of the outdoors. The proposed space, to be tucked between our two buildings, would affect no other neighbor, yet it would provide much-needed breathing room for each of us. We have been good neighbors for the past 14 years and have every expectation that the neighborly relationship will continue. As Mattera has pointed out, she has reached Senior Citizen status, though she remains healthy and physically active. As a concerned neighbor, I can see that the deck would go a long way toward helping her age in place. And since time marches on for us all, it would provide me with necessary accessible space as well. Thank you for your consideration. Michael Giardi 73 Summer Street WILLIAM E. MACKEY, SET KATHLEEN A.
