RE: Property at Ocean Ave./Lawrence St.
Dear Mr. O'Brien:
I have been requested by Mr. Robert Maguire to seek your
opinion with regard to property located at the corner of Ocean
Ave. and Lawrence Street.
Although I have advised him otherwise, it is Mr. Maguire's
contention that, because the property is a corner lot, frontage
should be considered as all land abutting Ocean Ave. and Lawrence
Street.
Please give this matter your earliest attention.
Sincerely,
'fes.■., f� ,

DECISION ON THE PETITION OF JOHN MENTO (PETITIONER) ANN
BONAIUTO (OWNER) FOR A VARIANCE AT 192 REAR JEFFERSON AVE.
A/K/A'01 CEAN AVENUE EXTENSION (R-3)
A hearing on this petition was held June 14, 1989 with the following Board
Members present: James Fleming, Chairman; Messrs. , Bencal, Febonio, Luzinski
and Nutting. 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 is requesting a Variance to allow the premises to be used as a
welding shop. The property is located in an R-3 district and is owned by Ann
Bonaiutc.
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 st7uctures in the same district;
b. literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve
substantial hardship, financial or otherwise,
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 . There was no opposition presented.
2. Councillor Leonard O'Leary spoke in favor.
3. Variances were prevously granted to allow this property to be used
for minor automotive repairs over the past ten years.
4. Petitioner runs a mobile type welding shop and the majority of his
work will be done off the premises.
5. This property is undersized and would require action from the Board
of Appeal to allow it to be utilized for any purpose.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented, the
Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . Special conditions exist which especially affect the subject property
but not the district generally;

Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal, voted unanimously, 5-0, to grant the
Variances requested, subject to the following conditions:
1 . The hours of operation will be 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. , Monday through

this hearing and can be renewed by the petitioner only.

structure.
