BOARD OF APPEALS
June 27 , 1983
Mr. Daniel Long, Town Clerk William and Lana Landry
Town Office Building Southeasterly side of Lacy St.
North Andover, Mass. Petition No. 32- 183
Dear Mr. Long:
The Board of Appeals held a public hearing on Tuesday evening, June 14 ,
1983 upon the application of William and Lana Landry. The hearing was
advertised in the North Andover Citizen on May 19 and 26 , 1983 and all
abutters were notified by regular mail. The following members were
present and voting: Frank Serio, Jr. , Chairman ; Alfred E . Frizelle ,
Esq. , Vice Chairman; William J. Sullivan] Augustine W. Nickerson; and
Maurice S . Foulds .
The petitioner seeks a variance from the provisions of Section 7 ; Para-
grapli 7. 2 and Table 2 of the Zoning By Law to permit relief from the
frontage requirement to allow the construction of a single family
dwelling on premises located at land on the southeasterly side of
Lacy Street.
The petitioner testified through counsel that he has entered into an
agreement to purchase the 9+ acres and proposes to construct a single
family dwelling on the premises. The petitioner further testified that
he is willing to restrict the lot so that no additional dwellings or
future subdivision can. occur.
The parcel is landlocked except for a peninsula with 87 feet of frontage
on Lacy Street. A driveway is proposed through said frontage.
Upon a motion made by i4r. Frizelle and seconded by Mr. Foulds , the Board
voted unanimously to grant the variance from the lot frontage require-
ments with respect to a lot lying within the R-2 district on the South-
easterly side off Lacy Street described as the second parcel in a deed
recorded at Book 1342 Page 353 at the Essex North Registry of Deeds

Petition No. 32-183 7
June 27 , 1983 F;01F i,-

and owned at the present by E & F Builders , Inc. , so as to allow con-
formity to Section 7 , Paragraph 7. 2 and Table 2 of the Zoning By
Law subject to the conditions that:
1. Only a single family dwelling be constructed on the premises with
a minimum setback of 100 feet from any boundary;
2. That the plans be re-submitted to conform to the requirements of
the Board of Appeals .
Said variance was granted because it was the consensus of the Board that
the applicant met all the needs required in granting a variance as
set forth in M.G.L. Chapter 40-A Section 10 and Section 10 . 4 of the
Zoning By Law.
Specifically, the Board found the following:
1. The variance is required as a result of the peculiar shape of the
parcel. It contains 9. 37 acres but has only one access which is
on to Lacy Street. The access is by way of a narrow path which has
a maximum width of 87. 03 feet on Lacy Street and a mimimum width
of only 30 feet where it intersects with with the rest of the parcel.
The path is 400 feet long. The contour of the path is such that
it has a very steep grade in a short distance . If a road was to
be built there would be insufficient width to accommodate it.
2. A literal enforcement of the Zoning By Law would involve a sub-
stantial hardship. The parcel is oversized and cannot be used
for anything other than a single family residence. A road cannot
be installed as there is insufficient width to accommodate it. The
parcel, without a variance, is useless .
3. The variance may be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good and without nullifying or derogating from the intent
and purpose of the Zoning By Law. The use which the applicant
wishes to use the premises for is consistent with the use of land
in the area. The parcel has more land than most of the other
parcels in the area and its use as a single family dwelling will
not have a negative impact on the public good. The granting of
the variance will not change the character of the neighborhood.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF APPEALS
