RE: Building Permit for:
Addition & Alterations – Safe Passage
37 Franklin Street
Northampton, MA 01060
Dear Jonathan,
We respectfully request that you grant a Building Code modification to waive the
requirement for control construction for the small addition & renovation work at
37 Franklin Street (scope of work attached) because the work is of a minor nature, will
not affect health, accessibility, life and fire safety, or structural requirements and is
impractical in that the cost of control construction is considerable when compared to
the cost of the proposed work. Thank you for your consideration.
Please let us know if you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
Linda Gaudreau
