DECISION OF THE PETITION OF CATHOLIC CHARITABLE BUREAU REQUESTING A
VARIANCE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 278-280 WASHINGTON STREET B-1
A hearing on this petition was held December 17, 1997 with the following
Board members present: Gary Barrett, Chairman; Nina Cohen, Albert Hill,
Richard Dionne and Paul Valaskagis. 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 requests a Variance from off-street parking requirements for the
property located at 278-28C Washington Street. This property is located in
a B-1 district.
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 petitioner was represented by Attorney John Serifini Jr.
2. The only opposition was from an abutter, Mr. Richard Socolo of Atlantic
Credit , who voiced concern of lace of parking in the area. His concerns
were addressed and opposition was withdrawn.
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.
3. Desirable relief can be granted without substantial detriment to
public good and without nullifying and substantially derogating from
the intent of the district or purpose of the Ordinance.

The Application for Permit was denied by the Inspector of Buildings for Ime fo 'O
reason(s): &-1
Direct Appeal
The Undersigned hereby petitions the Board of Appeal to vary the terms of the Sale=
Zoning Ordinance and/or the Building Code and order the Inspector of Buildings to
approve the application fee permit to build as filed, as the enforcement of said
Zoning By-Laws and Building Code would involve practical difficulty or unnecessary
hardship to the Undersigned and relief may be granted without substantially derogating
from the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance and Building Code for the follow-
ing reasons:
Catholic Charities desire to renovate the building at 278-280 Washington St. Salem
for professional offices for social workers who deliver services to the people
of Salem and the surrounding area. Catholic Charities needs a variance from the City
of Salem Zoning Ordinance provisions regarding off-street parking requirements
in order to receive a building permit. The building occupies the entire lot
so there is no room for parking.
