RE: 4 Allen Street
The lot at 4 Allen Street is only 3619 square feet. This is well below the State minimum
and City of Salem minimum of 5000 square feet to establish a grand fathered buildable
lot. Therefore, the classification as non-buildable is accurate.

4 ALLEN STREET7(R-2) CLART REALTY CORP. OWNER OF THE PROPERTY
A hearing on this petition was held August 24, 1988 with the following Board
Members present: James Fleming, Chairman; Messrs. , Luzinski, Nutting and Associates
Dore and LaBrecque. Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters and others and
notices of the hearing were properly advertised in the Salem Evening News in
accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A.
Petitioner, owner under agreement, is requesting a Variance from density and
setbacks to allow construction of a two family dwelling in this R-2 district.
The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a finding of the
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 in the same district;
b. literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve
substantial hardship', financial (Sr otherwise, to the petitioner,
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, and
after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
1 . Lot area is 3,516 square feet whereas the minimum lot area in
an R-2 zone is 15,000 square feet;
2. There is no existing dwelling unit on the property which is
located in a congested area;
3. Petitioner, who did not own the property, proposed the construction
of a two family dwlling on the land;
4. Councillor George Nowak was opposed to the proposal;
5. Nearby homeowners and abutters petitioned the Board to
grant the variance;
6. One abutter spoke in favor;
7. Petitioner failed to demonstrate substantial hardship.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented at the
hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
DECISION ON THE PETITION OF DEAN BOUCHER (PETITIONER) FOR
A VARIANCE AT 4 ALLEN ST. (R-2) PROPERTY OWNED BY CLART REALTY CORP.
page two
1 . Special conditions do not exist which especially affect the land,
building or structure involved and not the district generally;
2. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would not involve a substantial
hardship to the petitioner;
3. The relief requested cannot be granted without substantial detriment
to the public good or without nullifying or substantially derogating
from the intent of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance.
Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted 1 to 4 (Mr. Fleming voted in favor)
against the granting of the requested variance, therefore the variance is
denied.
VARIANCE DENIED
