32A-058 (23) DECISION OF
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
At a meeting held on April 24, 1985, the Zoning Board of Appeals of
the City of Northampton voted unanimously to arm ant the Sn c;al Permit request

Springfield, Massachusetts to convert the former Union Street Jail into
25 condominium units at 50 Union Street, Northampton. Present and voting
were: Chairman Robert C. Buscher, William Brandt and Peter Laband.
The findings were as follows:
W. Brandt found that the use is listed in the Table of use Regulations
or elsewhere in the Ordinance for the Special Permits requested; that
the requested use bears a positive relationship to the public welfare
as the applicants estimate the cost of the condominiums to be in the
$65,000 - $85,000 range, which will fill a much needed demand for
housing in the moderate to middle income range; that the requested
use will not create undue traffic congestion or unduly impair pedestrian
safety if the developer provides 50 parking spaces as opposed to
the 40 requested; that the requested use will not overload any public
i
utilities any more than the prior use; that Article XI does not apply;
and that the requested use will not impair the integrity of the area.
P. Laband concurred.
R. Buscher concurred, adding that if the building were not used for
residential, it would be out of character with the neighborhood.
