The R-2 zoning currently allows for a two-family residence and petitioner requests a variance to al-low- for three-family. The building is currently rented by two tenants but has the capacity to be used by a third family with no structural change and no change in the footprint of the building. The building itself is located in the R-2 District while the yard in the back is zoned Industrial. The parcel of land has never been used for Industrial purposes but borders Parker Brothers' lot. A literal enforcement would be a hardship to the owner and there are other three-family uses in the area so that relief can be granted without derogating from the intent of the district. If the property is deemed to be industrial, an expansion of the nonconforming use shall not be substantially more detrimental than the existing nonconforming use. With regard to parking, the plan provided indicates that no variance will be required concerning the parking regulation as there are eight parking spaces. Petitioner respectfully prays for favorable action on this petition and issuance of a use variance in accordance with testimony and other evidence to be presented at the hearing. .2 :10qwm LJI:I�I:l ��QOO� ��CJOQ��:1150C�p ©�70 FUcn¢rc/M;//s -run G.oap 2„� Professional Land Surveyors & Civil Engineers 33710, ESSEX SURVEY SERVICE 1958 - 1986 5._ OSBORN PALMER 1911 - 1970 x F8036 BRADFORD 8 WEED 1885 - 1972 �,1 pRoW#o PLOT PLAN OF LAND - n LOCATED IN y11 GPRp6� ? 5A L_c M, MASS. 1o= nJF Cumminp a L,i11E77 R_Z X711 �.sF �fF LeHer'�o i .

SCALE Date April , 1987 NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA STATEMENT (if applicable) ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Describe important architectural features and evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community. This house is a good vernacular example of Salem's Italianate housing stock. The five-bay symmetrically arranged gable roofed form is a continuation from the Federal period with a steeper roof pitch and different details. Ornament inlcudes the elaborately consoled doorhood with its dentils and paired brackets repeated again in the cornice. Other features are the doorway sidelights and transom, the brick founcation faced in the front with granite, the dentils in the gable ends, and the two interior chimnevs. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Explain the role owners played in total or state history and how the building relates to the development of the community. One of Salem's earliest streets, Bridge Street was known as Ferry Lane until the late 1700s , having been the road to the ferry to Beverly. As late as 1820 the street ran west only as far as Mall Street beyond which the North River came over the present street. The section of Bridge Street between Winter and St. Peter Streets is land filled after 1820. 156 Bridge Street does not appear on the 1851 Salem Atlas, but in 1874 was owned by Mrs. S.B. Dean. 1 ) BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES 5/55 r ✓t Tcm e_ (,-1 � 1991 O Salem Zoning Board of Appeals 2 Essex Green Salem, MA 01970' r RE: Joseph Skomurski 156 Bridge Street Salem, MA 01970 To Whom It May Concern: Please be advised that we have reviewed the application of the Skomurskis to convert their two-family residence into a three-family residence and respectfully request that their petition be allowed.
