For The Petition Of George Van Cott,Trustee of the 69 Boston Street Realty Trus�Y For A
Waiver From Frontage At 69 Boston Street
A Public Hearing on this petition was held on June 2, 2005. The Public Hearing was closed on June

Christine Sullivan;Tim Ready, Gene Collins and Chuck Puleo. Notice of this meeting was sent to
abutters and notice of the hearing was properly published in the Salem Evening News.
George Van Cott,Trustee of the 69 Boston Street Realty Trust, owner of the property,is requesting
a waiver from frontage requirements from the Subdivision Regulations and under MGL Chapter 41,
Section 81R, to allow the property located at 69 Boston Street to be subdivided into two lots. This
section states that"A Planning Board may in any particular case,where such action is in the public
interest and not inconsistent with the intent and purpose of the subdivision control law,waive strict
compliance with its rules and regulations, and with frontage or access requirements specified in the
law...."
The waiver from frontage is being granted for the property located at 69 Boston Street, as shown on
the plans titled, "Plan of Land, 69 Boston Street, Salem,Property of George Van Cott,Trustee 69
Boston Street Realty Trust," dated May 6, 2005 upon the findings by the Board that:
1. Special circumstances exist which especially affect the land and structures involved and which
are not generally affecting other land and structures involved;
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Regulations would involve substantial hardship,
financial or otherwise, to the petitioner;and
Therefore, the Planning Board voted by a vote of six (Power, Durand, Sullivan, Ready, Collins,
Puleo) in favor, none opposed, to grant the waiver from frontage requirements for 69 Boston Street.
This endorsement shall not take effect until a copy of the decision bearing certification of the City
Clerk that twenty (20) days have elapsed and no appeal has been filed or that if such appeal has been
filed that it has been dismissed or denied, is recorded in the Essex South Registry of Deeds and is
indexed in the grantor index under the name of the owner of record or is recorded and noted on the
owner's certificate of title. The owner or applicant shall pay the fee for recording or registenng.
I hereby certify that a copy of this decision is on file with the City Clerk and that a copy of the
Decision and plans is on file with the Planning Board. I n
