Member Bencal. Notice of the hearing was sent to abu and others and notices

Petitioner is requesting Variances to convert the building formerly the School
Administration Building, into twelve (12) condominium units in this 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 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 careful consideration of the evidence presented at the
hearing, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
1 . The Planning Board and the Planning Department have highly
endorsed this petition;
2. The building is existing and is so large it is not conducive to use
as a two family;
3. No neighborhood opposition;
4. Neighbors and abutters spoke in favor of this petition.
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 and circumstances exist which affect this lot
but do not affect the district generally;
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance
would work a substantial hardship on petitioner; and
3, The relief requested can be granted withoutsubstantial detriment to
the public good and without substantially derogating from the intent
of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance.
