TO THE BOARD OF APPEALS:
The Undersigned represent(s)that they are the owner(s)of a certain parcel of land located at:
Address:66 WILLSON STREET Zoning District: R1
An application is being submitted to the Board of Appeals for the following reason(s):
am proposing to repair,expand,and attach an existing garage to the home.
For this reason,I am requesting:
[true]Variance(s)from provisions of Section 4.1 -Set back requirements of the Zoning Ordinance,specifically from The garage would
face Old Rd which being a public road would require a 15'set back instead of a 10'side yard set back. .
false A Special Permit under Section of the Zoning Ordinance in order to
L]Appealing a Decision of the Building Inspector:
L]Comprehensive Permit:
Current Property Use:Single Family Are Lot Dimensions Included:Yes
The Undersigned hereby petitions the Board of Appeals to vary the terms of the Salem Zoning Ordinance and allow the project to be
constructed as per the plans submitted,as the enforcement of said Zoning By-Laws would involve practical difficulty or unnecessary
hardship to the Undersigned and relief may be granted without substantially derogating from the intent and purpose of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Statement of Hardship(for Variances):
Currently the existing garage at 66 Willson St is located within the 15'setback. The building is in need of major repairs as it has been
deteriorating for many years. While making those repairs and in an effort to increase its highest and best use it would be ideal to attach it
to the existing house via a breezeway and expand it to the 30'rear set back. This remodeled 3 car garage would sufficiently address our
families parking needs without creating a hardship for our neighbors or our community.As stated in 4.1.2 Notes to Table of
Dimensional Requirements. Item#3 states"On a corner lot,the minimum front yard depth. rather than the minimum side
yard width, shall be applied to determine the setback of any building from lot lines abutting any public way." Based on this
I'm required to have a 15'setback instead of the 10'side yard setback. If required to move the structure to comply with the
required setback would mean that the ADU and the main house would lose one of its means of egress causing a potential
fire hazard.
