John F. Markey
246 `larnpike St.
Petition No. 15—'77
John J. Lyons, Torm Clerk
Town Office Building
North Andover, Ma.
Dear Sir:
A public hearing was held by the Board of Arpc-.ls nn Sent= ;:ger 19. 1 1977 upon
application of Dr. John F. "a.rkey who rem;e:-ted variation of Sec. 6.3 and Table 2
of the Zoning By-Law so as to permit a side setback variance as shown on a plan of
land dated August 1977 locate on Turnpike Street. The following members were
present and voting: Frank Serio, Jr., Chairman; Alfred E. Frizelle, Vice-Chairman;
Louis DiFruscio, Clerk; James D. 11oble, Jr. ; and Ralph R. Joyce.
The hearing was advertised in the La;:rence eagle-Tribune on September 3 & 107 1977
and all abutters here duly notified by regular mail.
Dr. Markey appeared for himself and introduced a plan dated August 1977 showing
the layout of the lot and house and the proposed 2--car garage.
Upon examination, the Board found that the side lot line from which the proposed
garage is set lb, ck cuts bank across the lot in c•'_;ch a manner so as to make the
construction of a 6_rage virtii-,lly impossible unlo�-s a side setback variance is
graxtted. They further erg rood the plan and found that the proposed location of the
garaEe is the only viable location on the lot and that any alternate site required
acess to it from a 4-land divided high-,:ay r:hich tiould create a traffic hazard.
It was noted by Dr. P-'arkey that the neighborhood is a mix_ of single and 2-family
housing, marry of the houses with and without garages. Sie suggested to the Board
that the proposed structure could have no ad�,rerse effect on the neig`riborhood and
certainly not upon the community in general.
i
Dr. William Pattcr,,on, an abutter, appe;rreA in OPPO:'1'1'I0P% Upon ex,miination, it was
determined that his proporty was approximately 0 ft. from the lot line and the pro-
posed garage would be approximately 30 ft. from his d",%elling. The determination rias
i
Dr. John F. Markey Decision —2_
/ to maintain
made that the intent of the By—Law in an R-4 District was 0 ft. between ;
dwellings by virtue of 15 ft. setbacks. It 1•:3s noted that the 30 ft. existed between
the proposed structure and Dr. Patterson's dwelling. The Board concLnied that the
intent of the By—Law was not being violated by this proposed_structure. Dr. Markey
suggested that, due to the shape of the lot, there is a hardship in building a garage
which related only to his lot and not to any of the other lots in his R-4 District.
The Board concurred that, dire to the manner in which the side line cuts "'ack across
the lot the situation -was unique. Ifardship ;:as fol.;nd in that Dr. Markey could not
adequately house his motor vehicles any;%There else on ti,e lot Without incurring sub—
stantial risk for his safety and the ge.leral safety of the public. Dr. ; _ rkey further
suggested that in that the front part of his lot had at one point been t leen by
eminent domain making further i -.pcsed hardship upon the future utiliLaticn of his
remaining lot by further distorting the shape of the lot.
Upon a motion duly made and seconded by 1`.essars Joyce and DiFruscio, respectively, the
Board unanimously voted to GM,',T1 the variance as requested.

Petition No. 15-'77
John J. Lyons, Town Clerk
Town Office Building
North Andover, Ma.
Dear Bir:
A public hearing was held by the Board of Appeals on September 19., 1977 upon
application of Dr. John, F. Markey who requested variation of Sec. 6.3 and Table 2
of the Zoning By-Law soias to permit a side setback variance as shown on a plan of
land dated August 1977 -_1ocated on Turnpike Street. The following members were
present and voting: Frank Serio, Jr., Chairman; Alfred E. Frizelle, Vice-Chairman;
Louis DiFruscio, C1erk;, James D. Noble, Jr.; and Ralph R. Joyce.
The hearing was advertised in the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune on September 3 & 10, 1977
and all abutters were duly notified by regular mail.
Dr. Markey appeared for himself and introduced a plan dated August 1977 showing
the layout of the lot and house and the proposed 2-car garage.
Upon examination, the Board found that the side lot line from which the proposed
garage is set back cuts' back across the lot in such a manner so as to make the
construction of a garage virtually impossible unless a side setback variance is
granted. They further examined the plan and found that the proposed location of the
garage is the only viable location on the lot and that any alternate site required
acess to it from a 4-land divided highway which would create a traffic hazard.
It was noted by Dr. Markey that the neighborhood is a mix of single and 2-family
housing, many of the houses with and without garages. He suggested to the Board
that the proposed structure would have no adverse effect on the neighborhood and
certainly not upon the community in general.
Dr. William Patterson, an abutter, appeared in OPPOSITION. Upon examination, it was
determined that his property was approximately 20 ft. from the lot line and the pro-
posed garage would be approximately 30 ft from his dwelling. The determination was
I ~
Dr. John F. Markey Decision -2-
made that the intent of the By-Law in an R District was to maintai
Y —4 � �0 ft. between
dwellings by virtue of 15 ft. setbacks. It was noted that the 30 ft. existed between
the proposed structure and Dr. Patterson's dwelling. The Board concluded that the
intent of the By-Law was not being violated by this proposed structure. Dr. Markey
suggested that, due to the shape of the lot, there is a hardship in building a garage
which related only to his lot and not to any of the other lots in his R-4 District.
The Board concurred that, due to the manner in which the side line cuts back across
the lot the situation was unique. Hardship was found in that Dr. Markey could not
adequately house his motor vehicles anywhere else on the lot without incurring sub-
stantial risk for his safety and the general safety of the public. Dr. Markey further
suggested that in that the front part of his lot had at one point been taken by
eminent domain making further imposed hardship upon the future utilization of his
remaining lot by further distorting the shape of the lot.
Upon a motion duly made and seconded by Messers Joyce and DiFruscio, respectively, the
Board unanimously voted to GRANT the variance as requested.
Very truly yours,
BOARD OF APPEALS
