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
of the Ordinance.
The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented, and after
reviewing the plans makes the following findings of fact:
1. Petitioner Thomas Rice appeared and presented his plans to demolish and rebuild
his single family dwelling.
2. The existing house is in structural failure and should be replaced in entirety as
supported by a structural engineer from Lieb Architects.
3. Neighbors speaking in support of the petition were from 5 Sutton Ave., 111
Columbus Ave, 11 '/2 Sutton Ave, 109 Columbus Ave,3 Sutton Ave, 14 Sutton
Ave and 10 Sutton Ave.
4. Mr.Gregorian who resides at 9 Sutton Ave was concerned about the elevation of
the new structure and how the new structure would impact on the issue of
drainage.
5. Larry Spang of 125 Columbus Ave spoke in favor of the preservation and wanted
to restore the building.
6. Councillors Lucy Corchado of Ward I and Jean Pelletier of Ward 3 also spoke in
favor of the petition and that is was not economically feasible to preserve the
home to its historic character.
7. Donna Vinson spoke on behalf of Historic Salem Inc. and wanted to encourage
preservation of this house as it was architecturally rare.
On the basis of the above findings of fact,and on the evidence presented at the
hearing the Zoning Board of Appeal concluded as follows:
1. Special conditions do exist which especially affect the subject property but not the
district in general.
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would involve substantial
hardship on the petitioner.
