DECISION ON THE PETITION OF CROWNINSHIELD CORPORA a7y ,
REQUESTING VARIANCE FOR 35 FLINT STREET E, Eiij( ` !1rr1Ce
Q (BOWDITCH .SCH03�4y
A hearing on this Petition was held on June 8, 1982 with the following Board
Members present: Douglas Hopper, Chairman; Messrs. Piemonte and Feeherry,
and Associate Member Luzinski. Notices of the hearing were 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 4OA.
The Petitioner has requested a variance for the property at 35 Flint Street
to convert the structure at the site (formerly the Bowditch School)'::to 28
,condominium units. A variance is required because the building is in a
R-2 district where the proposed use is prohibited without a variance.
The Board of Appeal;: after consideration of the evidence presented at the
public-hearing and after viewing the property, ,makes the following findings
of fact:
1. The building in question is unique because of its previous use
as a school.
2. The manner in which this property is to be developed is of
special significance to. the City because of its proximity
to a number of historic sites.
On the basis of the above findings of fact and the evidence presented at
the public hearing, the Board of Appeal:. concluded as follows:
1. The property in question is unique because of its prior use.
2. The condition described above especially affects the structure
in question but does not generally affect the zoning district
in which the property is located.
3. The conditions described above which affect the land in question,
but not the zoning district generally cause special hardship
` because if the requested variance is not granted, the property
cannot be developed in a manner which is consistent with the
City of Salem's Master Plan.
4 The desired variance may be granted without substantial detri-
ment to the public good because the proposed development will
enhance the appearance of the area and provide much-needed
housing. - APPEAL FRO114 THIS O 1 h'! IF A ! SHALLSfIALL DEE i1ADE PUP 'AVT TO SECTION 17 OF THE MASS. .
