DECISION OF
NORTHAMPTON ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
At a meeting held on June 29, 1988, the Zoning Board of
Appeals of the City of Northampton voted unanimously to
GRANT the request of Frederick J. Fill, Jr. and Dorian B. A.
Fill for a Variance from the Provisions of Section 6.2 of
the Northampton Zoning Ordinance for the purpose of allowing
the converting of a one -car garage to a two -car garage,
thereby violating the southerly side setback at
their residence at 454 North King Street, Northampton, in a
Rural Residential District. Present and voting were Acting
Chairman Dr. Peter Laband, Irene David, and M. Sanford Weil,
Jr.
The Findings were as follows:
The Variance is requested for a specific parcel of land and
an existing structure.
There is a serious soil /topographical condition, a rock
ledge, which affects this parcel only and not the rest of
the District.
Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in a
serious hardship, since it is virtually impossible, and
certainly extremely expensive, to build a garage at the rear
of the structure where the rock ledge begins.
Granting the Variance would not be a substantial detriment
to the public good, and it is noted that the abutter whose
side setback will be violated has stated, in writing, that
she has no objection to the addition to the garage.

FROM: Northampton Planning Board
SUBJECT: Frederick & Dorian Fill's request for a Variance
DATE: June 24, 1988
FILE
At the June 23rd meeting of the Northampton Planning Board, it
was voted unanimously to recommend denial of the Applicant's
request for a Variance. Neither of the Applicants were present,
in spite of having been notified that their Application was on
the agenda. The site inspectors recommended denial because the
proposed garage is "not appropriate... too close ... too crowded...
the Variance is not warranted... there is no hardship."
