APRILM y., 18SS �criu TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER MASSACHUSETTS BOARD OF APPEALS August 27, 1965 John J. Lyon$, Town Clerk Town Building North Andover, Massachusetts Dear Sir: The fo7lc�ring petition was heard at a meeting of the Board of Appeals on Norday ev+arcing, August 23, 1965 at the Town Office Building. Members present and voting were:, Daniel T. OtLeary, Chairman; William Morton, Secretary; James Deyo, John J. 6bields and Arthur Drummond. LTNCH & UILTIS requested a variation of Sec. 7.3 of the Zoning By Law so as to permit an additipn ,261 x 20t, to an existing building 281 x 361 on the premises, located at the north side of Pleasant Street; at the northwest corner of Trenton Street and known as yo. 180 Pleasant Street. This public ,hearing was advertised in the Eagle Tribune on '&ugust 9 & 16, 1965. ,All abutters were duly notified. by certified mail of this hearing. Atty. John J. Willis spoke on his own behalf. Atty. John Lynch was also present. Atty. dills explained that they thought they had sufficient space and were issued a building permit but upon a check made by the Building Inspector and a subsequent check by an, Engireer, it was found to be 9 feet less than what was required; therefore, a 16 ft. variance is necessary. They cannot make the drug store smaller because they mist meat Etat-0 requirements as to the regulations for size. If this variance werer`to be denied) it would constitute a severe hardship upon the petitioner because the poxilon that is built would have to be torn down. The drug store is strictly for prescription use - there will be no fountain. The present grassed. area will be hot-topped for a parking area in front of the building. There were six people present. Four people were recorded in favor of the petition. There was no opposition. Atty. Willis presented a petition to the Board signed by sixteen abutters and neighbors as approving the granting of the variance. In itlecutive session, after thvrough discussion, Mr. Shields made a motion to GRANT �t1.e Variance, r7r* .Morton seconded the motion and the vote was 4 to 1 with Mr. Deyo voting against the granting. The Board wanted. the variance for the following reasons; 1. To den the said petition would result in a substantial hardship, financial or otherwise., The Board feels that the petitioner proceeded to build in good faith and that agreat deal of money has been expended to date. , (Cont,) r r {�+i MuL7� ij0 y:•lass g�'•.. HUO `x4C8 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER MASSACHUSETTS BOARD OF APPEALS -2- August 27, 1965 2. The Board sees no derogation to abutting properties or to existing neighborhood influences. The requested variance will not be in substantial derogation from the intent or purpose of the Zoning By-Law. 1�. There exist certain conditions, especially affecting the parcel in question., which do not generally affect the entire zoning district in which the parcel is located.
