EMERY P.TANCH INTO SEVEN APARTMENTS. A VARIANCE IS REQUIRED TO EXTEND A NON-

Hearing on this petition was held on June 22, 1976. Present were Chairman

Jane T. Lundregan. Notices were duly mailed to abutters and others in
accordance with Massachusetts General La-as, Chapter 808.
Kenneth Savory, the petitioner, represented himself before the Board. He
stated the property has eight parking spaces instead of the ten and one-half
required. The Salem Planning Board recommended that the petition be denied,
because of the high density and the parking and traffic problems in the.
neighborhood.
4 Some abutters also appeared in opposition and stated that the neighborhood
has a definate parking problem and that the granting of said variance would
increase the traffic problem in the neighborhood.
The Board voted to deny the petition, The Board felt that the petitioner
had not shown the necessary hardship to support a variance. The Board also
felt that it could not grant the variance without substantial detriment to
the surrounding neighborhood because of traffic and parking problems in
the neighborhood.
