t 66€A t1.1 fP. tA49,
A hearing on this petition was held February 17, 1988 with the wg Board
Members present: James Hacker, Chairman; Messrs. , Fleming, Strout and Associate
Member Dore. 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 use and parking
to allow premises to be used for classes on Tai Chi Chaun. Property is located
in an R-2 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. '_iteral enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve
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 Apeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the
hearing, makes the following findings of fact:
1 . Although ocated in an R-2 district, the property is adjacent to an
industrial facility and across from several commercial establishments:
� . en-c'_es enterinr ano e}titin L' from ;,!?e Drooerty could exacertaLe
existing traffic problems and endanger cnildren in the area;
3. Traffic & parking problems would be minimized by limited class size;
4 . Ward Councillor Mark Blair spoke in opposition to the petition citing
potential traffic problems. There was no other opposition;
5. On person spoke in favor of the petition.
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 generally;
2. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would work a substantial
hardship on the petitioner;

public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the

requested, subject to the following terms and conditions:
