RE: 33 Briggs Street
Dear Mr. Bogart:
This Department has received a complaint alleging a third floor bathroom and work
going on the 3`d floor of your property. This Department has no record of building
permits for this property.
Furthermore, you were denied a third unit by the Board of Appeals.
Per State Building Code 780 CMR, Section 115.6, it will be necessary to arrange an
inspection within 10 days upon receipt of this letter. Failure to comply with this order
will result in a complaint being filed in Salem District Court. If you have any questions,
please contact me directly.
Sincerely,

MAYOR
DECISION ON THE PETITION OF PAUL BOGART REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 33 BRIGGS STREET R-2
A hearing on this petition was held on October 17, 2001, with the following Board
Members present: Nina Cohen, Chairman, Stephen Harris, Richard Dionne, Nicholas
Halides and Joan Boudreau. 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 a Variance to allow a third unit and a Variance from Parking
requirements for the property located at 33 Briggs 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. Petitioner is the purchaser of a property at 33 Briggs St., which consists of a three-
story house on an undersized lot. Petitioner seeks a variance to allow three dwelling
units in the building. A previous request to allow a third unit in the property at 33
Briggs St. was denied by this Board on July 8, 1976, on the grounds that the
increased traffic and parking problems would be detrimental to the surrounding
neighborhood.
2. Notwithstanding the earlier decision, petitioner's representative, Stephen Lovely,
Esq. related to the Board that the property currently has a third unit, and he
requested that the Board allow the existing third unit and grant a parking variance.
3. The Board heard in opposition to the petition, Chester Chalupowski of 26-30 Andrew
St., Tim Doggett of 9 Lynn St., and Councillor Regina Flynn representing neighbors
in Ward. 2. These neighbors opposed the granting of the variance on the grounds
that the increased density and resulting traffic would be detrimental to the
neighborhood.

THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 33 BRIGGS STREET R-2
page two
4. The Board finds that petitioner failed to present sufficient evidence of hardship on
which to base the granting of a Variance.
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 1 in favor and 4 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.

EMERYP. TANCH DECISION ON THE PETITION UDO W. SALOMON FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT TO
CONVERT AN EXISTING TWO FAMILY HOUSE LOCATED AT 33 BRIGGS
TO A THREE FAMILY. (R-2 DISTRICT) STREET
ET
Hearing was held on this petition on Thursday, July 8, 1976 at 7:15 P.M.
Present were Chairman John M. Gray, Sr. , Donald Eames, William Abbott and
Jane T. Lundregan, Notices were duly mailed to abutters and others in
accordance with Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 808.
Mr. Salomon represented himself before the Board. Multi-family dwellings
not exceeding four families are a Special Permit use in an R-2 Zone.
Mr. Salomon stated that he needed relief from off-street parking requirements
if a .third apartment was granted. He also stated that the house is
abutted by a three family house on one side and a four family house on
the other side. He said the house has a hot-topped yard and driveway which
could provide some of the needed parking.
1, Several neighbors appeared in opposition and stated that the street is already
plagued with traffic and parking problems and that the granting of an additional
apartment would add to said problems.
The Board voted to deny the petition as requested, The Board found that it
could not grant the Special Permit requested without derogating from the intent
of the Salem Zoning Ordinance and without harm to the surrounding neighborhood,
The Board felt that the increased traffic and parking problems would be detrimental
to the surrounding neighborhood.
APPEALS FROM THIS DECISION, IF ANY, SHALL BE MADE PURSUANT TO SECTION 17 OF THE
MASS, GENERAL LAWS, CHAPTER 808, AND SHALL BE FILED WITHIN TWENTY DAYS AFTER
THE DATE OF FILING OF THIS DECISION IN THE OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK. A COPY OF

Dear Mr. Powers,
It appears from the three mailboxes affixed to the house
at 33 Briggs Street that that dwelling is being used as a'
three-family house. It is my understanding that the Board of
Appeals recently turned down a request from the owner that
he be granted a change in occupancy from two-family to three.

I'would appreciate it if your investigation could shed
some, lighit on this seeming'contradictiom.
