DECISION ON THE PETITION OF THOMAS P. STEVENS FOR A
VARIANCE AT 6 CHEVAL AVE. (R-1 )
A hearing on this petition was held June 24, 1987 with the following Board
Members present: James Hacker, Chairman; Messrs. , Bencal, Fleming, Luzinski and
Strout. 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.
Petitioner, owner of the property, is requesting a Variance from density and
setbacks to allow construction of a deck in this R-1 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 and structures in the same district;
b. literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would in-
volve 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
hearing, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
1 . There was no opposition;
2. All the lots in the area are small with very little usable space,
this deck would be the best use for the land.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented, the
Board of -ppeal concludes as follows:
1 . Soecial conditions exist which especially affect the subject property
out not the district generally;
2. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would work a substantial hardship
on the petitioner;
3. The relief requested can be granted without nullifying or substantially
derogating from the intent of the district or the purpose of the
Ordinance and without substantial detriment to the public good.
