DECISION ON THE PETITION OF ALLIED REALTY TRUST FOR
VARIANCES & SPECIAL PERMIT AT 63 FLINT ST. (BPD)
A hearing on this petition was held September 19, 1990 with the following Board
Members present: Richard Bencal , Chairman; Joseph Correnti , Richard Febonio,
Edward Luzinski and Mary Jane Stirgwolt. 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.
Petitioners are requesting the Board to vary the density provisions of Section
VI, Table IV as to Minimum Lot Width, Width of Side Yard, Buffer Area required
and Open Space Required and a Special Permit in accordance with Section V B 10,
to allow removal of existing buildings, construction of two new structures and
continuation of nonconforming use for retail and wholesale and storage of building
supplies with offices and warehousing associated with said use. Property is
located in the Business Park Development District (BPD)
The Variances which have 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 and 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; and
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 provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to this request
for a Special Permit is Section V B 10, which provides as follows:
Notwithstanding any to the contrary appearing in this Ordinance, the Board of Appeal
may, in accordance with the procedure and conditions set forth in Section VIII F
and IX D, grant Special Permits for alterations and reconstruction of nonconforming
structures, and for changes, enlargement, extension or expansion of nonconforming
lots, land, structures, and uses, provided, however that such change, extension,
enlargement or expansion or expansion shall not be substantially more detrimental
than the existing nonconforming use to the neighborhood.
In more general terms, this Board is, when reviewing Special Permit requests,
guided by the rule that a Special Permit request may be granted upon a finding
by the Board that the grant of the Special Permit will promote the public health,
safety, convenience and welfare of the City's inhabitants.
The Board of Appeal , after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the
hearing, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
DECISION ON THE PETITION OF ALLIED REALTY TRUST FOR VARIANCES
AND SPECIAL PERMIT AT 63 FLINT ST. , SALEM
page two
1 . No opposition from the neighbors
2. The request for relief was the result of an eminent do A"prKc6 ding
which calls for the removal of the existing buildings;, a,nd the reduction
in the present lot size.
3. Granting the relief requested would allow for the continued use of the
land for business purpose.
4. The petitioner has operated a building supplies company at that
location for twenty five years.
5. The was opposition by the owners of the Philson/Freelonic Office,
63 Grove St involving a right of way which is presently in litigation.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented, the
Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . Special conditions exist which especially affect the subject property
but not the district in general .
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would involve
substantial hardship to the petitioner.
3. Desirable relief can 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.
Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted unanimously 5-0, to grant the relief
requested, subject to the following conditions:
1 . All construction be done in compliance with City and State Building Codes.
2. All construction be completed according to plans and dimensions submitted.
3. All requirements of the Salem Fire Department relative to smoke and fire
safety are to be strictly adhered to.
4. Legal Building Permits must be obtained prior to construction.
5. A Certificate of Occupancy for each building be obtained.
6. All signs shall be in compliance with the City of Salem Sign Ordinance.
7. Petitioner must obtain the approval of any other City Board of Commission
that has jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, the Planning Board and
the Conservation Commission.

RE : Allied Realty Trust
Dear Mr. Bencal :
I am writing to express my support for the petition of Allied
Realty Trust for Variances required to remove the existing
structures and reconstruct new structures at 63 Flint Street, as
well as a Special Permit for relocation and continuation of a
non-conforming use .
As you know, the existing lot has been reduced in size by an
eminent domain taking by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Department of Public Works to allow for the construction of the
long-awaited Beverly/Salem Bridge and Bypass Project . The existing
buildings at Allied Lumber must be demolished as a result of the
land ,taking. In order for Allied Realty Trust to construct the two
new structures they must obtain the necessary Variances from the
Board of Appeal .
Allied Lumber has been at its present location for over twenty
years and in that time has proven to be a good neighbor . I hope and
expect that you will consider their benefit to the City of Salem in
your deliberations of their requests .
I trust that any concerns expressed by the neighbors at the
public hearing will be addressed by the Board of Appeal .
Thank you for your consideration in this matter .
Sincerely,
Neil Harrington
Mayor
