DECISION ON THE PETITION OF MARK PETIT FOR A VALIANCE ATT 5:5K T
STREET COURT (R-2)
A hearing on this petition was held March 20, 1996 with the following
Board Members present: Stephen Touchette, Chairman; Gary Barrett,
Nina Cohen, Joseph Ywuc and Albert Hill. 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, owner of the property, is requesting Variance from all
density requirements to allow construction of a single family
dwelling for the property located at 5 Skerry Street Court.
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 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. The single family dwelling proposed by the petitioner will
encroach to within six (6) feet of Skerry Street Court.
2. The petitioner failed to demonstrate or meet the burden of proof
relative to legal hardship.
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 involve substantial hardship to the petitioner.

(2) , in opposition to the motion to grant the variance. Having failed
to garner the required four affirmative votes to pass, the motion is
defeated and the petition is denied.
