DECISION ON THE PETITION OF JOHN COUGHLIN FOR A VARIANCE
AT 45 BUENA VISTA�AVEI (R-1 )
A hearing on this petition was held August 21 , 1991 with the following Board Members
present: Richard Bencal, Chairman; Joseph Correnti, Richard Febonic, Edward Luzinski
Mary Jane Stirgwolt. Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters and others and
notices of the hearing were properly published in the Salem Evening News in accord-
ance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A.
Petitioner is requesting a Variance from rear setback to allow construction of
a deck in this R-1 district.
The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a finding of the
Board that:
1 . 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.
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve
substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioner.
3. 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 . The petitioner represented himself and expressed his need for the Variance.
2. There was no opposition by neighbors or abutters.
3. That the granting of the Variance would enhance the quality of life
for the petitioner.
4. The placement of the deck as proposed is the most feasible location
for the deck.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented, the
Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . Special conditions exist which especially affect the subject property but
not the district in general.
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would involve
substantial hardship to the petitioner.
