BZA-012985-2017 Case No. 15 Line Street Location: Petitioner: Geraldine Spies and Dudley Rose c/o Sarah Like Rhatigan, Esq. On May 25, 2017, Petitioner Dudley Rose appeared before the Board of Zoning Appeal with his attorney Sarah Like Rhatigan requesting a variance in order to construct a driveway and one parking spot. The letitioner requested reliet from Article 6, Sections 6.43.4. a and 6.44 La of the Cambridge Zoning Ordinance ("Ordinance"). The Petitioner submitted materials in support of the application including information about the project, plans, and photographs. Ms. Rhatigan stated that the proposal was to install a driveway to the side of the house ia a neighborhood that was congested and where it was difficult to find street parking. She stated that the driveway needed to be 10 feet wide, but that only 9.5 feet were available, and so a variance was being sought. She stated that the hardship related to the small and narrow lot. She stated that there was no street parking on the side of the street where the. driveway would be installed, so that no public space would be lost. She stated that the neighbors had similar preexisting nonconforming driveways and that they supported the proposal. She stated that there would be no room for tandem parking in the proposed driveway. • Neighbors spoke and/or wrote it support of the proposal. One neighbor wrote in opposition to the proposal. After discussion, the Chair moved that the Board make the following findings based upon the application materials submitted and all evidence before the Board and that based upon the findings the Board grant the requested relief as described in the Petitioner's submitted materials and the evidence before the Board: that the Board find that a literal enforcement on the provisions of the Ordinance would involve a substantial hardship, in that the neighborhood was congested and parking was a problem; that the Board tind that the.. nardstup owed to the noncontorming structure in a tight neighborhood, where any driveway construction would require relief from the Board, that the Board find that desirable relief could be granted without substantial detriment to the public good or nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent and purpose of the Ordinance; and that the Board find that off street parking was prohibited on the side of the street where the driveway was proposed and so would not take away from public street parking. The Chair further moved that the Board specifically find that based upon all the information presented, there are circumstances involving a substantial hardship relating to this property within the meaning of M.G.L.. c. 40A § 10 and that the Board grant the variance for the requested relief on the following conditions: 1 that the driveway be constructed consistent with the plan submitted, as initialed by the Chair at the hearing of May 25, 2017, and

2 that the driveway only be used, at least on a regular basis, for one car and that the car not park in the front yard, such that the car would need to be pulled up the driveway. The five member Board voted unanimously in favor of the findings and of granting the variatice as conditioned (Alexander, Sullivan, Green, Tedesco, and Best). Therefore, the variance is granted as conditioned. The Board of Zoning Appeal is empowered to waive local zoning regulations only. This decision theretore does not relieve the petitioner in any way from the duty to comply with local ordinances and regulations of the other local agencies, including, but not limited to the Historical Commission, License Commission and/or compliance with requirements pursuant to the Building Code and other applicable codes.
