Crit� of 3Kort4ainpton z I �lassacltusrtfs � t 5" DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING INSPECTIONS INSPECTOR 212 Main Street • Municipal Building Northampton, MA 01060 April 7, 2003 Ms Mary Balise ' k Northampton MA 01060 .{ RE: Zoning violation for brush obstructing view Mrs. Balise, I received a letter from the Department of Public works concerning the line of sight obstruction that your hedges make at the intersection of Williams and Holyoke streets, this has caused a hazard to public safety to drivers and pedestrians. I have attached a copy of Northampton Zoning Ordinances that outline what the law is regarding to bushes and shrubs obstructing vision. The bushes or shrubs cannot exceed the height of three feet for a distance of 25 feet in either direction from the intersection, this is to allow cars and pedestrians a clear line off sight for oncoming traffic. I made a site inspection today and took digital photos of the location and found that there is a violation of Northampton's Zoning Section6.8 subsection 6 (copy attached)., this letter shall serve as notice that you have 30days to cut the hedges to the height allowed, failure on your part to take action within 30 days can result in fines of$100 per day for each day violation continues and or court action. Please feel frre to contact me at 587-1240 if you have any questions.
