Municipal Building �-" Northampton, MA 01060 Adam James and Hannah Richards 52 Holyoke Street Northampton, MA 01060 Dear Mr. James and Ms. Richards, January 23, 2015 I have reviewed your zoning permit application for changes to the garage at 52 Holyoke Street in Northampton. You have presented a number of scenarios for uses. The garage does not meet the setback requirements for a dwelling unit. It cannot be used as living space or sleeping space. Your property is in a residential district, so it cannot be rented for business or commercial storage use. The only uses allowed at this point would be storage, a workshop or studio space for the tenants of the house on the property, or as a home business, again for the tenants of the house on the property. Use as a home business would require a permit from the Zoning Board of appeals because of the setbacks. If you present a single proposal with more detailed information, I will make a formal decision. Based on your current application, all I can say is that some uses would be allowed and some would n ot. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Respectfully, Louis Hasbrouck ?I �" vlx�� Building Commissioner City of Northampton (413) 587-1240 Ihasbrouck(a-)city.northampton.ma.us cc Northampton Office of Planning and Development cMig of xart4arapton ti�ri f Sty s!, Y1 DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING INSPECTIONS 212 Main Street . Municipal Building Northampton, MA 01060 Robert and Nora Langston 80 Damon Road #5111 Northampton, MA 01060 January 23, 2015 Dear Mr. and Ms. Langston, I have reviewed your zoning permit application for additions to the house at 685 Bridge Road in Northampton. As presented, you would need a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals because a portion of the addition extends into the required 15' side setback. Since the existing house conforms to the setback requirements, you cannot create a non -conformity. The ZBA could not grant a variance in this situation. If you establish the eastern property line, either by survey or by line -of -sight between property pins, and present a plan that places the addition within the required 15' setback I would approve the application. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
