DECISION OF THE
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
3&),C
At its meeting on April 23, 1980, the Zoning Board of Appeals '
for the City of Northampton voted unanimously to crrant the peti-
tion of Stephen Cahill ane for a special permit to fill a parcel of
land at the end of Michelman Avenue, Northampton, Massachusetts.
Based upon the evidence presented to the Board, the Board
made the following findings in regard to the special permit:
1. The proposed use is listed in the Table of Use Regulations.
2. The proposed use would bear a positive relationship to the
public convenience or welfare, in that it would give an
undevelopable parcel of land the prospect of being
developed in the future, as well as aesthetically en-
hancing the property and the immediate zone in which it
is located.
3. The proposed use would not generate a permanent increase
in traffic, although traffic may increase for the period
when fill is being brought to the site; and it will not
impair pedestrian safety.
4. In the area where the filling is to be done there are no
public facilities, thus there will be no overloading of
such facilities.
5. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the character
of the district nor to the general welfare, but rather
would be in harmony with the purpose and intent of the
Zoning Ordinance which is to enhance the value of property
within the City of Northampton.
The special permit was granted subject to the following con-
ditions:
(1) that the applicant comply with Section 11.3. Subsection
4, of the Zoning Ordinance;
(2) that he submit to the Board a statement showing what
measures will be taken to prevent soil erosion, and a
statement on the potential effects of the filling on the
immediate area and downstream;
I
(3) that he provide the Board with a certificate from the
engineer stating the exact number of cubic yards to be
used;
i
(4) that no filling be done beyond the 10 of contour.
