Dear Mr. Greenwald,
I have reviewed the zoning permit application submitted on April 12, 2013. I have approved the
application as presented.
The approved plan proposes replacing the existing non-conforming structure with a single family
dwelling that conforms to all City of Northampton zoning requirements for a single family dwelling in the
URB zoning district. You must close all but 15 feet of the existing curb cut on Prospect Street; the
remaining curb cut must be at the eastern end of the existing cut. The asphalt apron along the Prospect
St. frontage must also be removed. No other curb cuts are allowed for this parcel, either from Prospect
St. or Murphy Terrace. The minimum allowed open space not covered by impervious surfaces and
buildings must be 50%. The plans, as submitted, show a single family dwelling. The The plan, as
approved, does not include an accessory apartment. Any home occupation at this location would need
to meet the current zoning ordinance requirements.
Sincerely,
Louis Hasbrouck
