DECISION ON THE PETITION OF IUCHAEL J. ECFV\ CONC31tXING PROPERIY LOQVIT D
AT 8 BEN EY STREET
A hearing on this petition was held on Wednesday, November 29, 1978. Due to a lack
of a quorum, the hearing on tit:is petition was held on December 6, 1978. Notice for said
hearing was sent to the abutters and others and duly published in the Salem Evening News
on November 10 .and 17, 1978, in accordance with Mass. General. Laws, Chapter 808.
Members Douglas Hopper, Donald Earn;es, Arthur Labrecque, James Boulger and Associate
Member John Nutting were present.
Atty. Walter Costello represented the Petitioner before the Board. The Petitioner
wishes a Special Permit for an additional apartment unit at 8 Bentley Street, which
present)-}- contains two apartment units. On February 2fi, 1.978 the Board denied the Peti-
tioner a similar request. The Board was instructed by the Superior Court to have further
deliberation on this case. The Petitioner submitted a plan showing off-site parking for
four cars and stated he would rent one additional parking space within the neighborhood.
The Petitioner resides on the first floor and feels that the nine rooms on the second and
third floors cannot be rented unless they can be made into t1:ro units. There would be
no increase in density because all the parking required l.auld be provided. If the
petition were not granted, the only people that would be attracted to an apartment of this
size would be a large family.
Mr. Costello advised the Board that a petition had been presented at the last hearing,
signed by eight abutters, supporting the petition.
The Board heard testimony from abutters staging that the area is already congested.
Many families do rot have any off-street parking. 'There are other homes in the area which
have vacant third floors.
The Board voted to deny the Special Permit requested. The Board felt that the area
is already highly congested and an increase in density would be substantially detrimental
to the neighborhood. The plan submitted by the Petitioner showing four parking spaces did
not fully comply with the zoning ordinance and that leasing the additional required parking
space is not acceptable. The Board also felt that to grant the Special Permit would set an
undesirable precedent to the neighborhood.
