DECISION ON THE PETITION OF NEW YORK CELLULAR GEOGRAPHIC
SERVICE AREA INC. FOR A VARIANCE AT 12 FIRST STREET (R-2)
A hearing on this petition was held June 14, 1989 with the following Board Members
present: James Fleming, Chairman; Messrs. , 3encal, Febcnio, 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.
The petitioner, represented by Attornev Richard S. Novak, is requesting Variances
to construct a cell site for the purpose of cellular radio broadcast for mobile
phone services at 12 First St. The equipment would be placed in a first floor
room, with six (6) antennae being installed on the roof. The locus is in an
R-3 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 or structures in the same district;
b. literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve
substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioner;
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
^.earing, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
1 . There was substantial neighborhood opposition to the petition.
2. The six (6) proposed antennae on the roof would not be in harmony with
the neighborhood.
_ . The building at 12 First Street has been given special tax status relative
to its residential use. A commercial use of the building in not in harmony
with that tax-exempt residential use.
v. The petitioner offered no evidence of hardship.
On the basis of the above findings of _`act, and on the evidence presented, the
5oard of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . Special conditions do not exist which especially affect the subject
property and not the district generally;
_. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would not involve
a substantial hardship on the petitioner;

Desirable relief cannot be granted without substantial detriment to the
Public good or without nullifying and substantially cerogat-ng from the
intent of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance.
Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal Noted three (3) in _aver two (2) o_000sed
Mr. Bencal and Mr. Nutting) to the granting of the variance recuested. T'se
request is denied due to the failure of the petitioner to obtain four (4 ) affirm-
ative votes.

Re: Nynex Mobile Communications - Salem
Dear Mr. Power:
This letter serves as Nynex Mobile Communications
Company's request to you for a determination that a substantial
change has been made in the application for a direct appeal to
the Board of Appeals for Nynex on April 19, 1989. Nynex
appeared before the Board of Appeals on June 14 , 1989 to
request a variance for a mobile communication cell site use at
12 First Street. At the time of this request, Nynex proposed
to construct a cell site which included the mounting of six (6)
10-foot antennas on two foot mounts on the penthouse level of
the existing structure.
In response to neighborhood concerns, Nynex has revised
the plans and specifications for the said cell site and now
intends to construct six (6) 3-foot antennas which require no
mounts on the roof level of the existing structure. Thus, the
new design greatly changes the appearance of the site, and
serves as a substantial change in relationship to Nynex' s
earlier variance request.
