The petitioner is requesting Variances from parking requirements to allow a second curb cut and from the parking requirements of Article 7-3 for the property located at 44-46 Winthrop Street in an R-2 zone. The Variances,which have been requested,may be granted upon a finding by this 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 involve. b. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise,to the petitioners. 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 of the purpose of the Ordinance. The Board of Appeal,after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the hearing, and after viewing the plane, makes the following findings of fact: 1. Petitioner Clissold LLC, a real estate trust whose trustee is Andrew Oliver of Marblehead, seeks a variance from the Zoning Ordinance to allow two curb cuts and two off-street parking places for the property located at 44-46 Winthrop Street. The two-family house is undergoing renovation into two condos, each of which will be allowed one off-street parking place. 2. As grounds for the curb cut request,petitioner through his Attorney Scott Grover states that with only one curb cut,residents would have to use the area behind the house to park their vehicles. Allowing the second curb cut would permit residents to preserve open spaces for a garden at the rear of the house while parking at the front. o vrr iut y 1005 SEP 30 A q: 19 DECISION OF THE PETITION OF CLISSOLD LLC REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 44-46 WINTHROP STREET page two 3.
