DECISION ON THE PETITION OF PAUL J. LYONS, JEANETTE REALTY TRUST FOR
A VARIANCE FOR 20 COMMERCIAL STREET
A hearing on this petition was held on September 29, 1982 with the following
Board Members present: Douglas Hopper, Chairman; Messrs. Piemonte, Hacker.
Feeherry and Associate Member Luzinski. Notices of the hearing were sent
to abutters and others and a notice of the hearing was published in the
Salem Evening News in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A.
The Petitioner has requested a variance for the property at 20 Commercial
Street to construct an addition of approximately 5000 square feet.
A variance is required because the proposed addition will violate density
regulations and will encroach into minimum front ,.: side and rear yard setbacks.
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) Petitioner''s, proposed addition will create jobs and will have a minimal
effect on the neighborhood.
2) _. Petitioner!s proposed construction was not opposed by abutters.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and the evidence presented at the
public hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1) The property in question is unique because of its peculiar configuration..
2) The condition described above especially affect the land in question
but do not generally affect the zoning district in which the land
is located.
3) The conditions described above which affect the land in question,
but not the zoning dist:-ict generally cause the following special hardship:
unless a variance is granted, it will be very difficult to construct :.
an addition at the site.
4) The desired variance may be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good.
Therefore, the. Boad of Zoning Appeal unanimously voted in favor of granting
the requested relief. The Board granted a variance to the Petitioner on the
following terms:
1) Petitioner may construct an addition, not to exceed 22' in height, of approxi-
mately 5,000 sq. ft. in accordance with the plan submitted to the Board.
• 2) The proposed addition mav be constructed to within 5' of the
rear and side yard property lines and to within 20' of the front
yard property line.
3) Petitioner shall submit detailed plans to the Building Inspector
in connection with his application for a building permit.
