The vote was unanimous to grant the request as presented,
with the condition that there shall be no iuipairm.ent of
visibility in either direction on' N orth King Street .
The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 PM. Present and voting
were Charles W. Dragon, Chairman, Thomas Brushway and Eric Gervais.
Also present were Clare Fennessey, Clerk, Lauren McCartney of the
Daily Hampshire Gazette, Daniel Holmes of the U—Haul Company,
and two interested citizens.

The Chairman of the Board said that the Board would view the
property in the near future.
Speaking in favor of the petition was Dan Holmes, an employee
of the company. Regarding the Planning Department memo which
noted that brightly colored trailers on the lot would afford suf-
ficient advertising, he.- said that the vehicles are not always on
the lot. In addition, he said that the company also rents
permanent hitches, and a sign to advertise this fact is necessary.
No one spoke in opposition.
The hearing was adjourned at 7:55 PM, with the Board taking
the matter under advisement.
Present were Charles W. Dragon, Chairman, Thomas Brushway,
and Eric Gervais, associate Member. Also present were Pat Blandford,
Dan Holmes, Art Demers of vtiTIEV radio, and Clare Fennessey, Clerk.
The meeting to decide on the request of U--Haul Company of
Western. Massachusetts, 227 North King Street, for a variance to
erect a sign, was called to order at 8:20 PM, July 14, 1976 in the
old Council Chambers, City Hall, by the Chairman, Charles Dragon.
The minutes of the public hearing, held on June 16, 1976, after
having been advertised in the Daily Hampshire Gazette on June 2 and
June 9, 1976, were read and approved unanimously.
The Chairman noted that the Board had viewed the property.
Mr. Brushway said that a height of ten feet above the ground
would afford more visibility for motorists than would a height of
five feet.
Mr. Gervais said that the dimensions required by the zoning
ordinance would limit visibility in both directions on North King
Street, and that placing the sign ten feet above the ground would
not be detrimental to the public.
After discussion on the placement of the sign, Mr. Brushway
moved to vote on _thp. matter. The motion was seconded by Mr. Gervais
and the vote was unanimous to proceed.
It was unanimously voted that owing to conditions affecting
the locus but not generally affecting the Zoning District, literal
enforcement would involve substantial hardships, financial or
otherwise.
Mr. Gervais was in favor of granting the request with the
stipulation that no vehicle of any kind is to be parked beneath the
sign. Pair. Dragon added that no obstruction of any kind is to be
placed in such a way as to impair visibility in either direction
on North King Street.

CITY OF NORTHAMPTON

JAMES C. O'DONNELL
CITY.SOUCITOR, DECISION
THOMAS P. NAGLE. JR. OF THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
ASSISTANT CITY SOLICITOR
IN RE: Petition of U—Haul Co. of Western Mass. Inc. for a variation
This is the decision of the Board of Appeals of the City of
Northampton on a petition filed by U--Haul Co. of Western Mass. Inc.
requesting a variance from the requirements of Section VII-4,
paragraph 2B of Chapter 44 of the City Ordinances of the City of
Northampton. The petitioner requested permission to erect a sign
twenty feet high instead of fifteen feet which is the maximum
under the Zoning Ordinance. The premises affected are located in
the east side of North King Street, designated as Parcel 6 Sheet cD No. 18AB of the Assessors' Plan of the City of Northampton and are
%xi own as 22'7 North King Street.
Public Notice on the matter was published in the Daily
Hampshire Gazette on June 2 and June 9, 1976. The Planning
Department sent a cormmunication which stated that a sign in the
location requested would limit visibility of vehicles on North King
Street.
The public hearing on the petition of U—maul Company of
Western_ Massachusetts, 227 North King Street, for a variance to
erect a sign, was called to order at 7:30 PM, June 16, 1976 in the
old Council Chambers, City Hall, by the Chairman, Charles W. Dragon.
Pat Blandford, 133 Ridgewood Road, Ludlow, Mass. , speaking for
the petitioner, said that U—Haul would like to erect a ten by ten
foot sign twenty feet high. The size is in accordance with the
zoning ordinance, but the height is limited to fifteen feet. A
ten by ten foot sign would, therefore, be only five feet from the
ground. He feels that this would limit visibility of traffic on
North King Street . In addition, U—Haul is requesting that it be
allowed to place the sign five feet in from the grope�y line in-
stead of the fifteen feet required by the zoning ordinance. There
is now a billboard on one side of the lot and a home on the other
side. These two structures would limit the visibility of the sign,
thereby defeating its purpose, which is advertisinz. Also, by
adhering to the setback requirements, the sign would have to be
placed in the center of the lot, thus eliminating an existing driveway.
