DECISION ON THE PETITION OF PAUL CONNOLLY FOR VARIANCES
FOR 7 ST. PAUL ST. CITYC:_` ` -Ej'•uQSS.
A hearing on this petition was held October 15, 1985 with the following Board
Members present: James Hacker, Chairman; Messrs. , Fleming, Luzinski, Strout and
Associate Member Labrecque. 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, requests a Variance to allow him to rent five
rooms in this single family, dwelling and a Variance from parking requirements..
Property is located in a B-4 district.
The Variances which hive 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 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 substantial opposition by abutters and neighbors;
2. There is a serious parking problem on the street;
3. There was substantial opposition because the owner has illegally
used the dwelling to house up to thirteen (13) people;
4. Relief could not be granted without detriment to the public good.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented at the
hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . Special conditions do not exist which especially affect the land,
building or structure involved and not other lands, buildings and
structures in the same district;
2. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would not involve substantial
hardship to the petition; and
i
3. The relief requested cannot be granted without substantial detriment to
the public good or without nullifying or substantially derogating from
the intent of the district of the purpose of the Ordinance..
