currently utilized - would be required by the Zoning Ordinance.
The plans would lead to a reduction in noise, a change from a
"heavier" to a "lighter" industrial use, to reduced traffic, and
to aesthetic improvements.
The failure to grant a finding could lead to a vacant
building in an area where occupancy is important for safety. In
an economic downturn, the zoning laws should accommodate a
reasonable business proposal which will be beneficial and not
detrimental to the neighborhood.

Exhibit A
Application For Zoning Permit For a Finding
For Service Properties, Inc.
82 Conz Street, Northampton, MA
The current uses are nonconforming.
The building on the property is approximately 28, 000 square
feet and has been leased by New England Telephone for many years
for a variety of uses. The current uses include a repair,
dispatching and maintenance facility for commercial vehicles,
offices and conference center, a computer and telephone repair
center, and associated parking and garage. There are
approximately 70 vehicles and 80-90 employees that use the
facility.
These current uses are nonconforming in some respects in a
special industrial (SI) zone. "Commercial motor vehicle
maintenance, garaging and parking facilities" (p.5-6) is
permitted only by special permit in the SI zone. Business
service and repair service establishments are also permitted only
by special permit in the SI zone (p.5-5) . Business offices are
not permitted in the SI zone (p.5-5) . The present uses would not
be permitted by right, predate existing special permit
requirements, and are therefore nonconforming.
The proposed use would be beneficial to the neighborhood.
The owner has negotiated a lease, subject to obtaining
zoning permission, with an existing Hampshire County business
that is not willing to be identified until a finding is
authorized. The tenant seeks to rent about 20, 000 square feet of
the 28, 000 square foot building. The proposed tenant's business
is the wholesale distribution of knitting and yarn supplies,
related offices, and small accessory retail space of about 2 ,200
square feet. The proposed tenant will not relocate without the
small retail area, although it is a minor aspect of the business.
The project involves no change in the building footprint but
requires interior and facade renovations to accommodate the new
use.
The principal use is "wholesale trade and distribution, "
which is allowed by right in the SI zone (p. 5-6) . The applicant
seeks a "finding" that the proposed accessory retail use would
not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than
existing nonconforming uses under Section 9. 3 . A yarn supply
distribution business would replace the current heavy equipment,
maintenance, and repair activities. This change would greatly
reduce vehicular traffic. It is expected that the yarn supply
business will involve parking by about twelve employees, a daily
U.P.S. van pickup, a once-a-week truck delivery, and incidental
retail traffic. About 26 parking spaces (8 for the retail space
and 18 for the wholesale use) - far less than exist or are

6 . Narrative Description of Proposed Work/Project: (Use
zadditional sheets if necessary) The applicant requests a finding to
alter a nonconforming telephone vehicle maintenance, garage, and
service facility to a conforming business distributing knitting
and yarn supplies , as well as an accessory retail space of about
2 , 200 square feet out of 21 , 000 square feet to be rented in this
28 . 000 square foot building. The accessory retail space
requires the finding.
7 . State How Work/Proposal Complies with Findina Criteria : (See
Applicant ' s Guide and use additional sheets if necessary)
The requested chancre or alteration will not be substantially more
detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconforming
se, the test under the Zoning Ordinance and G L c 40A, sec. 6 .
A dry goods business will replace current telephone company
facilities _ A small retail outlet would generate occasional and
not substantial traffic. The change would reduce traffic and
_parking demand, lessen noise and heavy equipment, and would result
in facade and building improvements. These changes would benefit
and not cause any detriment to the neighborhood. See attachments .
