#ITT CLERK,SALEM. MASS.
DECISION_ON THE PETITION-OF-ALICE-L--JOHNSON-FOR
VARIANCES�_AS_TO PROPERTY ATCr ROSEDALE_AVENUE J
On October 12, 1488, the matter of the above referenced Petition
came to be called before the Board of Appeals of the City of
Salem, Massachusetts_ Present at this Meeting were Mr_ James M_
Fleming, Esq. , Chairman of the Board, and Messrs_ Richard A.
Bencal , Peter Strout, Arthur LaBrecque, John Nutting_ Notice of
this Hearing was sent to abuttors and others and Notice of the
Hearing was properly published in the Salem Evening News in
accordance with Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 40A_
Chairman Fleming called the matter on for hearing, at which time,
Richard 0_ Johnson, husband of the Petitioner , being a practicing
Attorney intending to represent the Petitioner- in the
presentation of her Petition , called the Board's attention to the
fact that, through inadvertance, a Variance for the installation
of a cellar bulkhead entrance had been erroneously omitted from
the language of the opening paragraph of the Petition, although
the installation of a bulkhead was clearly shown on the plan
attached to the Petition , which had been filed with Board, and
requested that the language of the Pettion be amended to include
the cellar- bulkhead in the paragraph requesting the needed
Variances_ After- a discussion and consideration of this matter
the Board Members unanimouslly agreed that such an amendment
would be lawful and proper , under- all circumstanes, having due
regard to the location and size of the bulkhead, in relation to
the size and location of other structures requiring a Variance,
as well as the matter of Notice to all interested parties and
Abuttors by mail and publication , and the Board allowed the
Amendment by inserting the words "cellar bulkhead" in the text of
the opening paragraph of the Petition at the third line from the
bottom thereof to read "deck, cellar bulkhead, second story
dormer addition" , et cetera , and as otherwise set forth_
Chairman Fleming 'then proceeded with the Hearing, in the
customary course of the Board's agenda , calling on the Secretary
Nutting to Proceed with the reading of the Petiton and
correspondence_
In substance, the Petition, as amended, requested Variances from
the application of the present Zoning Ordinance to permit certain
renovations and additions to the dwelling house and garage at 1
Rosedale Avenue for construction of a Sunroom, deck, cellar
bulkhead entrance, second story dormer and the additon of one
garage stall to the existing garage_
I
The Variances being requested may be granted upon the finding by
the Board that:
a_ Special conditions and circumstances exist, which
especially affect the land, building, or structure,
involved, which generally do not affect other- lands,
buildings and structures in the same district;
b_ Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance would impose substantial hardship on the
Petitioner , financial or otherwise;
C _ Desireable relief may be granted, without substantial
detriment to the public good and without nullifying, or
substantially derogating from the intent of the
Ordinance for the subject Zoning District, or the
purposes of the Ordinance generally;
The Board of Appeal , after careful consideration of the evidence
presented at the Hearing, after viewing various plans, made the
following findings of fact=
1 _ There was no opposition to the Petition by anybody,
either in person at the Hearing, or by way of verbal and
written communication;
2_ Mr _ Nutting, Clerk of the Board, read and entered into
the record a letter received from Mr _ Frederick J_
Harney , Jr _ , the abuttor to the rear of the Petitioner 's
Property , being the person most seriously affected by
the granting of the requested Variances, being in favor
of granting of the Variances in question and asking the
Board to allow them;
The Petitoner was recorded in favor- of allowance of her
Petition , as well as Richard O. Johnson , aforementioned:
4 _ Mr _ Raymond L _ Muse. Jr _ , another immediate abuttor ,
appeared at the Hearing to speak in favor of the
allowance of the Petition:
5_ The location of the Sunroom, deck, bulkhead, dormer and
garage addition, for which Variances are requested are
in the best and only location on the lot from an
aesthetic , financial and practical viewpoint, and,
therefore, to deny the requested Variances would cause
the Pet.itoner an undue hardship with respect to the use
of her land;
6 The closest structure on any abutting property would be
in excess of twenty (20) feet. away from the construction
of, or change to, any structure for which Variances are
requested_
on the basis of the above evidence presented and findings of fact
made by the Board, the Board concluded, as follows;
1 _ Special conditions exist which affect the subject
property , but not the district generally ;
Page 2 of 3 pages_
2. Literal enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance would cause
substantial hardship to the Petitioner , and
3- The relief requested could be granted, without
substantial detriment to the public good and without
nullifying, or substantially derogating from, the intent
of the Zoning Ordinance for the subject District, or the
Purposed of the Ordinance generally_
WHEREFORE:
The Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously , 5 to 0 in favor ,
to grant the requested Variances, subject to the following
conditions:
1_ That. the Petitioner comply with all requuirements of the
Salem Fire Department relative to Fire Safety Codes,
including installation of approved smoke and fire
detectors for the dwelling; .
2_ Construction of additions, or alterations to the house
and garage, shall be in accordannce with Massachusetts
and City of Salem Building Codes;
3- Construction of additions, or alterations to the house
and garage, shall be in accordance with the dimensions
and measurements set forth in Plan attached to the
Petition , as submitted to the Board of Appeals, and all

4 - Construction shall not commence, until proper and
neccessary Building and Occupancy Permits are issued by
the Builing Inspector of the City of Salem_
