Smith, Planner, on behalf of the Northampton Planning Board SUBJECT: Special Permit Request - Raymond W. Thomas DATE: April 28, 1986 FILE: At their meeting on April 24, 1986, the Northampton Planning Board reviewed the Special Permit request of Raymond W. Thomas for the purpose of converting a single-family dwelling into a three-family dwelling at property lcoated at 68 Prince Street, Northampton ((URB Zone). After discussing the matter with the applicant and hearing the report of the site inspectors, the Planning Board voted 5-0 to recommend approval with the condition that the existing driveway Northampton Zoning Boat...of Appeals Public Hearing on Application of Raymond W. Thomas June 4, 1986 The Zoning Board of Appeals of the City of Northampton held a public hearing at 8:50 p.m. on June 4, 1986 in Council Chambers, Wallace J. Puchalski Municipal Building to consider the request of Raymond W. Thomas for a Special Permit under the provisions of Section 5.2, Page 5.2 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Northampton for the purpose of converting a single-family dwelling into a three-family dwelling at property located at 68 Prince Street, Northampton. (URB Zone) . Present were: Chairman Robert C. Buscher, William Brandt and Sanford Weil, Jr. The Chairman read the public notice as it appeared in the Daily Hampshire Gazette on May 21 and 28, 1986. He reviewed Section 5.2 and Section 10. 10 of the Zoning Ordinance and advised those present of their right to appeal. He noted receipt of a memo from L. Smith, Planner, on behalf of the Northampton Planning Board recommending in favor of the application. R. Thomas stated that he wishes to convert the upstairs of this single-family residence into an apartment and move an existing barn and attach it to the residence for a third rental unit. He stated that the lot contains 16,548 sq. ft. and has ample space for parking. Mr. Brandt expressed concerns regarding the esthetics of attaching two architecturally different entities to make one three-family structure. Mr. Well questioned if Mr. Thomas had considered attaching the barn by a breezeway to the smaller projection of the house. Mr. Thomas asked if the Board would consider the construction of an addition onto the house if moving the barn was found to be unfeasible. A discussion followed regarding the necessity of reapplication if Mr. Thomas changed his proposal. There were no proponents or opponents present to speak. The Chairman opened the floor for general questions. Responding to inquiries from Marie Frank, 37 Chapel Street, abutter, Mr. Thomas stated that he plans two-bedroom units, that he will not cut down any trees, and that he would hire a professional contractor. Ms. Frank expressed concerns with protecting her privacy. Responding to inquiries from W. Brandt, Mr. Thomas stated that he had not had the dwelling viewed to ascertain if it is structurally sound or if it is feasible to move the barn and cited several other multifamily homes in the area. He added that he is requesting three units rather than two because he needs the additional income. The Board chose to take a site visit. It was moved, seconded and voted unanimously to close the public hearing at 9: 18 p.m. Present, in addition to those mentioned, was J. Parker, Board Secretary. Robert C. Buscher, Chairman�` Northampton Zoning Boa 3f Appeals Decision on Application of Raymond W. Thomas July 23, 1986 The Zoning Board of Appeals of the City of Northampton met at 7:35 p.m. on July 23, 1986 in Council Chambers, Wallace J. Puchalski Municipal Building to render their decision on the request of Raymond W. Thomas for a Specail Permit under the provisions of Section 5.2, Page 5.2 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Northampton for the purpose of converting a single-family dwelling into a three-family dwelling at property located at 68 Prince Street, Northampton (URB Zone). Present and voting were: Chairman Robert C. Buscher, William Brandt and Sanford Weil, Jr. It was moved, seconded and voted unanimously to approve the minutes of the June 4, 1986 public hearing without a public reading. W. Brandt, referring to Section 10.10 of the Northampton Zoning Ordinance, found that the use is listed in the Table of Use Regulations as a Special Permit; that the requested use bears a positive relationship to the public convenience by providing two additional housing units to the housing market; that the requested use will not create undue traffic congestion or impair pedestrian safety; that the addition of two units will not overload any municipal system; that Article XI does not apply; and that the requested use will not impair the integrity of the zone and is in harmony with the intent of the Ordinance, as there are other multi- family dwellings in the area. S. Weil concurred that the requested use meets all of the requirements as set forth in Section 10.10, however, was concerned because the application specified attaching an existing barn to the house as the third unit. He found, after viewing the site, that the structure could not be used effectively in conjunction with the rest of the house. R. Buscher concurred with Mr. Brandt's findings. He suggested the following conditions: 11 1. That the barn,notlbe incorporated into any three-family structure which is established on this site. 2. That any three-family dwelling which is constructed must comply in all aspects to zoning regulations, including setbacks. It was moved, seconded and voted unanimously to grant the Special Permit request with the above-stated conditions. It was moved, seconded and voted unanimously to adjourn the meeting at 7:40 p.m. Present, in addition to those mentioned, was J. Parker, B.ard Secretary. Robert C.
