RE LAND OR BUILDINGS IN NORTHAMPTON AT: 332-334 Pleasant Street
ASSESSOR'S MAP and PARCEL NUMBERS: MAP#32C PARCEL #179
At a meeting conducted on February 25, 1999, the Northampton Zoning Board of
Appeals unanimously voted 3:0 to grant the request of Jay Fleitman and Mary Lou Stuart for
a FINDING under the provisions of Section 9.3 (2)(B) in the Northampton Zoning Ordinance
for a change in use on a pre-existing nonconforming lot to a general office building for
property located at 332-334 Pleasant Street, also known as Assessor's Map 32C, Parcel 179.
Zoning Board Members present and voting were: Chair Mark NeJame, Bob Riddle and Larry
Snyder.
The Findings of the Board under Section 9.3 (2) (B) for a change in use of a pre-existing non-
conforming lot were as follows:
1. The Board found that the requested use for a general office building would not be
substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the previous non-conforming use
as a four-family residence. The applicant presented that the use would generate less trash
and sewage than the four-family structure, and members were persuaded that overall
traffic to the property would not increase to the point of detriment, since the proposed use
would generate less traffic on the weekends and in the evenings.
