SALEM, MASS.
SEPTEMBER 15, 1976
DECISION ON THE PETITION OF CLARK F. FINNISS FOR A VARIANCE FOR THE PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 70 WARD STREET (R-3 DISTRICT) .
Hearing on this petition was held on September 15, 1976 with Chairman John M.
Gray, Sr., and members Jane T. Lundregan, William Abbott, Arthur LaBrecque, and
Donald Eames present. Notices were duly mailed to abutters and others in accord—
ance with Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 808.
Attorney Donald Koleman represented the petitioner before the Board. The lot
is an undersized lot and is located in an R-3 District, but has always been used
for commercial purposes. The neighborhood is basically a commercial neighborhood.
The building located on the property burnt down recently and the petitioner wishes
to construct a new building which would be used for commercial purposes. ,
The Board voted unanimously to grant the petition as requested. The Board found
C , that the size of the lot and character of the surrounding neighborhood made the
lot one which would not be compatible with residential uses. The Board found that
to deny the petition as requested would cause hardship to the petitioner because
of the character of the neighborhood and the size of the lot, therefore the Board
voted to grant the petition requested, and found that it could do so without
substantial detriment to the surrounding neighborhood and without derogating
from the intent of the Salem Zoning by-laws.
RANTED
APPEALS FROM THIS DECISION, IF ANY, SHALL BE MADE PURSUANT TO SECTION 17 OF
THE MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL LAWS, CHAPTER 808, AND SHALL BE FILED WITHIN TWENTY
DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF FILING OF THIS DECISION IN THE OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK.
A COPY OF THIS DECISION HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE PLANNING BOARD AND THE CITY CLERK.
VARIANCE GRANTED HEREIN SHALL NOT TAKE EFFECT UNTIL A COPY OF THE DECISION BEARING
THE CERTIFICATION OF THE CITY CLERK THAT TWENTY DAYS HAVE ELAPSED AND NO APP;3AL
HAS BEEN FILED, OR THAT IF SUCH AN APPEAL HAS BEEN FILED IT HAS BEEN DISMISSED
OR DENIED AS RECORDED IN THE SOUTH ESSEX REGISTRY OF DEEDS AND INDEXED IN THE
GRANTOR INDEX UNDER THE NAME OF THE ONNER OF RECORD, OR RECORDED AND NOTED IN

Gentlemen:
The following is brought to your attention in regard to your Condemned Structure
at 70 Ward Street in the City of Salem:

June 17, 1976 because of the poor state of repair and a
multitude of violations of Article Two of the Sanitary Code
of the Commonwealth.
2. You advised the Board of Health by letter that you were
applying for a variance before the Board of Appeals to raze
the present structure and build a cement block structure.
it was further indicated the building would be razed no later
than July of 1976.
3. At the September 15, 1976 hearing before the Board of Appeals
your request for a variance to construct a building for
commercial purposes in the R-3 District was approved.
4. The twenty-day period on any appeal of the decision of the
Board of Appeals in regard to 70 Ward Street has now expired

You are requested to proceed immediately to raze this structure as in its present
