20 WINTER STREET TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL APARTMENT. (R-2 District
EMERY P. TANCH
Hearing on this petition was held on Tuesday, December 14, 1976 with members
Chairman John Gray, Donald Eames, William Abbott, Jane Lundregan, Arthur LaBrecque
and Associate Member Douglas Hooper present.
Atty. Donald Koleman represented the petitioner before the Board. He stated
that the house is now one family and the petitioners are adding a second apartment.
He stated that a previous owner obtained a variance on August 2, 1972, but the .
work was never finished, and the Building Inspector believed that application
for variance should be re-submitted. The house is located in a two-family
district, on a lot containing 4,067 square feet, and is non-conforming with
regard to front, side yard and back requirements. He stated that there is
adequate parking and there is hardship with the land. He requested the Board
find the 1972 variance is still valid, or requested that if the Board falt it
was not valid, to reconsider the petition. He submitted a letter from the former
owners, Laurence and Charlotte Post stating that they had never at any time
given up their plan to finish the second apartment, or to abandon the variance
that was granted in 1972. There is a two car garage on the property and a long
driveway, so it was felt there would be no parking problem.
The Board voted to grant the variance requested. The Board found that since
work had been commenced in reliance on the variance granted in 1972, that a
denial of said petition would cause hardship on the petitioner. The Board found
that there was adequate parking for the additional apartment and felt that it
could grant the variance requested without substantial hardship to the surrounding
properties and without derogating from the intent of the Salem Zoning By-law.
