DECISION ON THE PETITION OF rlanRr RC L. BRETP FOR A fILE#
VARIANCE FOR 6 - 8 WHEATLAND STREET (R-2) CITY CLERK.SALEM,MASS.
A hearing on this petition was held on April 29, 1987, with the following Board
Members present: James Hacker, Chairman, Messrs., Fleming, Bencal, luzinski
and Strout. 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 the provision of Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 40A.
The petitioner, represented by Attorney John Vallis, seeks a Variance from
front yard setback to allow the existing two (2) family dwelling at 6 - 8
Wheatland Street. The locus of the property is in an R-2 District.
The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a finding of the
Board that:
a. special conditions and circumstances exist which especially affect
the land, building or structure involved and which are not generally
affecting other lands, buildings and structures in the same district;
b. literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would in-
volve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioner; and
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 hearing the evidence presented at the hearing, and
after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
1. The building, as situated on the plans submitted, is set back further
from the street line then all the buildings on the street.
2. The reason for the front-yard set-back discrepancy was caused by
mis reading and misunderstanding of what constitutes the front sideline.
III 3. No opposition to the requested Variance was Expressed at the hearing.
4. The petitioner showed sufficient hardship because of the presence of
ledge on most of the site.
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. The proposed change will promote the health, safety, convenience and
welfare of the city's inhabitants;
2. The relief requested may be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good. In fact, the division of the lot into two lots is not
more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconformity;
