DECISION OF THE PETITION OF JAMES NICHOLSON REQUESTING AR `H NASSFOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 330 LAFAYETTE STREET (R-2) Off,rp
A hearing on this petition was held March 19, 1997 with the following Board
members present: Gary Barrett; Chairman, Nina Cohen, Albert Hill, Arthur
LeBrecque and Paul Valaskagis . 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, requests a Variance to allow a second building to be build with
two dwelling units for the property located at 330 Lafayette Street (R-2) .
This property is located in a residential two family district.
The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a finding of this
Board that:
1 . Special conditions and circumstances exist which especially affect the
land, building or structure involved and which are not generally affecting
other land, buildings, or structures in the same district.
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would
involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioner.
3. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good and without nullifying or substantially derogation from the
intent of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance.
The Board of Appeal, after careful considerations the evidence presented at
the hearing, makes the following findings of fact:
I . The subject property is located in a neighborhood of predominantly
two family structures.
2. The subject property is unique in that it is a through lot from
Lafayette Street to Wisteria which is uncharacteristic of the
neighborhood creating hardship to the petitioner.
3. The Historic Commission estimates that the existing structure was built
around 1902.
4 . The petitioner is willing to consult the Historic Commission for design
review of any exterior alterations to the existing structure.
5. With respect to the existing structure, petitioner plans to make one
unit on the first floor, and a second unit containing the second and
third floors. Petitioner intends to remove the exterior stairs on the
upper floors of the existing house as well as the enclosure of the
second floor on the front of the house.
6. Petitioner also plans to construct a two-story, duplex structure on the
Wisteria Street side of the lot. The new construction will be two
units.
7. There will be 8 off-street parking spaces between the two structures
which is in compliance with the zoning ordinance.
S. Petitioner plans to take the necessary steps in order to make the four
units that will be created into a condominium under state law.
9. Petitioner met with neighbors in the area to discuss his plans, and
there were changes to his original plans as a result of such meetings.
10. Petitioner is willing tc erect a fence on the southerly side of the

property, and indicated that he will landscape the property.
11. Louis Goutzos and Edwina Labreque, 332 Lafayette St. , spoke in favor
of the petition.
12. Richard L'Heureux, 26 Wisteria Street, spoke in favor of this petition,
but expressed concerns about water run-off and drainage.
13. David Goggin, 9 Wisteria Street, and owner of 300 Lafayette Street,
spoke in favor of the petition.
14 . Georgeann Kalat, 326 Lafayette Street, spoke in favor of the petition.
15 . Petitioner requires a variance from lot size, lot frontage; side yard
setbacks;rear yard setback (Wisteria St) ;lot size; and minimum lot area
per dwelling unit. Petitioner also requires a variance in order to put
2 detached two-family dwellings on one lot; to allow more than one
dwelling on a lot; to permit four families to reside on the lot.
16. The proposed construction will improve the property and the
neighborhood.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented
at the hearings, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . Special conditions exist which especially affect the subject property
and not the district in general .
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would
involve substation hardship to the petitioner.
3. Desirable relief can be granted without substantial detriment to
public good and without nullifying and substantially derogating from
the intent of the district or purpose of the Ordinance.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented
at the hearing, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted unanimously, 5-0 to grant
the variance requested. subject to the following conditions:
1 . Petitioner shall compiv with all city and state statures, ordinances,
codes and regulations.
2. Petitioner shall obtain a building permit prior to beginning any
construction.
3 . All requirements of the Salem Fire Department relative to smoke and
safety shall be strictly adhered to.

Dear Mr. Satter;
The enclosed application has been rejected by this office due to the fact that a
"Homeowners Exemption"may only be used for a one or two family structure. Whereas
this is a minimum three unit building and therefore does not qualify for such an
exemption. The services of a Licensed Construction Supervisor will be required for the
Permitting of this project. If you have any further questions please feel free to call this
Office at (978) 745 -9595, ext. 5640.
