Dear Kurt,
We have received a complaint about the presence of unregistered vehicles or junk vehicles on
the street in front of your property at 723 Florence Road.
Upon investigation, I find that there are two unregistered or junk vehicles and motor vehicle
accessories (parts, tires etc)visible from the street, including a dark Cadillac and a gold Saturn. These
vehicles have been parked there a significant length of time.
The City of Northampton Zoning Ordinance limits the number of unregistered vehicles allowed
on residential property, defines the difference between unregistered and junk vehicles and describes
the requirements for storing the unregistered vehicles and motor vehicle accessories that are permitted.
Only two unregistered vehicles, and no junk vehicles, are allowed per parcel of land in the city without a
Special Permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Any unregistered vehicles that are allowed must be
not be visible from the street. Also, parking is not allowed within the front yard setback.
You are in violation of these zoning ordinances. I have included relevant excerpts from the
Zoning Ordinance for reference.
Please make arrangements to have the junk vehicles removed and the unregistered vehicles
stored in an appropriate manner in the immediate future, and contact me to discuss your plans. I will
visit your property on April 11, 2008 and if the violations have not been corrected, I will take further
action. This letter shall serve as a notice of violation and order in accordance with the City of
Northampton Zoning Ordinance Chapter 350, section 4.8 (A). Failure to correct these violations can
result in penalties of up to $100.00 per day.
Please call me if you have any questions, or if you need help disposing of vehicles. You may
contact me at the building department. Our telephone number is 587-1240 and our office hours are
Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, except that we close at 12:00 noon on Wednesdays.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
