Applicant Alexandria “Ally” Digiiseppi testified that the garage addition is needed in part to include a handicap-accessible bathroom for her husband, who has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). She said the garage cannot be shortened because they need space to move around a vehicle and access the bathroom.

Board discussion confirmed the required front setback is 30 feet; the motion as recorded grants a variance to allow a front setback of 27 feet, 1 inch (an encroachment of approximately 2 feet, 11 inches). A member moved to grant the variance on the grounds that adjacent properties would not be adversely impacted and that the reduced dimensions would not be detrimental to the public good or the intent of the bylaw. The motion was seconded and the board voted in favor with no recorded opposition.

Board members did not record additional conditions beyond the variance itself. No public testimony opposing the variance was recorded online or in the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town of Danvers: Zoning Board of Appeals - 2/24/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Town of Danvers Zoning Board of Appeals granted a variance to allow a garage addition at 4 Dartmouth Street to be sited closer to the front property line than allowed by right so the addition can include a handicap-accessible bathroom for the homeowner’s husband.","taxTitle","Town of Danvers, Essex County, Massachusetts","taxId",56467,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6314519,"Danvers ZBA approves expansion of personal training facility at 48 North Putnam with parking condition",226,361000,587000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2383104-329b5753afcb5ceef064bdd07b59109f&start=361&end=587","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2383104-329b5753afcb5ceef064bdd07b59109f/thumbnail_361000.jpg","/articles/6314519/Town-of-Danvers/Essex-County/Massachusetts/Danvers-ZBA-approves-expansion-of-personal-training-facility-at-48-North-Putnam-with-parking-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6314519-3eade11cefda13e619e31a4ba3fbf871/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174062&Signature=CPpVp6o96~Er7wWrMUFujRIPWsC-W2rKHiT6CKBCGkf8sVDa7ax240eb9JZMRDqq7XgbkjnQP~luu-mHldz2Dsn0O1ESMNh0~58DoPtRJPxOLa28fyv~INTJu9u-gRWmgGGocLTwq1WNjJcDrC1Qvf124gSQUlrBug7sO2DYDdRGeFM0QUqWClYug5dxmXd1dxf54Nw1MgKlcxoJEduSBuzVdyjg83zi7GD9qKcGNKmi5bB~SSnQBJjP1PCBGSojcgmE9ubBY7p~W9gtg5QK6uTWlQBiTeNSR7vKzDOwoCPcJ0IBq7lvmUchlzZbUaANTtr29chr8YRo8OZmrEiJvA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Zoning Board of Appeals for the Town of Danvers voted unanimously Feb. 24 to approve a finding under Table 1 of the Town of Danvers Zoning By-law allowing a personal training facility at 48 North Putnam Street to expand into the remainder of the building.

Michael Giuliano of Eagle Brook Engineering, representing the applicant Ralph Giangi Georgorio, presented a parking plan the firm prepared. Giuliano said the property contains three structures: the fitness facility (just under 3,000 square feet), a residential building with three units, and an existing garage used for storage by an HVAC contractor. Using those square-foot figures and the zoning schedule, Giuliano said the required parking was 13 spaces and the proposed plan shows 16 spaces.

A board member moved to issue a finding that the proposed expansion to the personal training facility is not substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing structure. The motion, as recorded in the hearing, includes a condition that the applicant stripe the parking spaces so users know where to park. The motion was seconded and the board voted in favor with no recorded opposition.

Board members asked no substantive follow-up questions during the hearing. The applicant agreed to stripe the parking “as soon as the weather gets bad” (i.e., when conditions allow), and the board made that a condition of the approval.

No public testimony opposing the expansion was recorded online or in the room.","The Town of Danvers Zoning Board of Appeals granted a finding under Table 1 of the Danvers Zoning By-law to allow a personal training facility to expand into the remainder of 48 North Putnam Street; the approval includes a condition that the applicant stripe the parking area.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6314524,"Applicant withdraws request to alter pre-existing nonconforming lot at 15 Oak Street",33,303000,336000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2383104-329b5753afcb5ceef064bdd07b59109f&start=303&end=336","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2383104-329b5753afcb5ceef064bdd07b59109f/thumbnail_303000.jpg","/articles/6314524/Town-of-Danvers/Essex-County/Massachusetts/Applicant-withdraws-request-to-alter-pre-existing-nonconforming-lot-at-15-Oak-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6314524-23387573054851824b72c904a640c5e3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174062&Signature=GIuXdXtHW1Y9Tjt-Z0iz6BUB5~yvhaXKFGZQ6B7u~OCtUnfmV5pEke~W8iFaPoCYFYTWO6NhtQyd2yJgl~CtBD~zcZsytNYVlPQulGTtP6k-k6KUjd7OxxziUok58ue495FOc2Yjsga6KLdlDtWK1TzciuXsfbGnp8jk1koncUixENJO3Woila0uAkiqgFNk0~1kGX6SsE8KzgihMtx9cU9d1Vn9SkyFjES-re7DB0vuT8KttCAMhbNmLjxnMp0wC4mVZ7-fuU08DZjVI43LmD4vybd743b6t4zQ0eF4e5LBjJDXsrv3NXwDdpRtfK8acNnmHi~jAHnFgDIgr8OFVQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Zoning Board of Appeals for the Town of Danvers accepted a withdrawal without prejudice of an application for 15 Oak Street at its Feb. 24 hearing.

At the hearing the board noted receipt of a letter dated Feb. 4 from Hartwell and the applicant informed the board that he wished to withdraw the request.

Board member motioned to withdraw the case without prejudice; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor. The record shows the withdrawal passed and no further action was taken by the board on that docket at the hearing.
