DECISION ON THE PETITION OF MARK CONNELLY REQUESTING A VARIANCE
FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 156 BRIDGE STREET R-2
A hearing on this petition was held on December 18, 2002, with the following Board
Members present: Nina Cohen, Chairman, Stephen Harris, Joan Boudreau, Richard
Dionne and Bonnie Belair. Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters and other and
notices of the hearing were properly published in the Salem Evening News in
accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A.
The petitioner is requesting Variances to allow the construction of a third floor unit for the
property located at 156 Bridge Street located in an R-2 zone.
The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a finding of the Board
that:
a. Special conditions and circumstances exit which especially affect the land, building
or structure involved and which are not generally affecting other lands, buildings or
structures in the same district.
b. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve
substantial hardship, financial or 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 or the
purpose of the Ordinance.
The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the
hearing and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
1. Attorney Stephen Lovely of 14 Story Street appeared and represented his petitioner.
2. The property is currently being used as an illegal three family.
3. A letter from Councillor Regina Flynn was read in opposition to the proposal.
4. The property has previously been denied as use as a three family.

DECISION ON THE PETITION OF MARK CONNELLY EQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR
THE PROPERTY LOCATED A 156 BRIDGE STREET 2-2
page two Z00I OEC'30 P 3'13
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented at the hearing,
the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1. Special conditions do not exist which especially affect the subject property and not
the district in general.
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would not result in
unnecessary hardship to the petitioner.
3. The relief requested cannot be granted without substantial detriment to the public
good or without nullifying and substantially hardship derogating from the intent of the
district or purpose of the Ordinance.
Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted 2 in favor and 3 in opposition to grant the
requested variances. Having failed to garner the four affirmative votes required to pass,
the motion is defeated and the petition is denied.
VARIANCE DENIED
