At a meeting conducted on September 13, 2001, the Zoning Board of Appeals authorized Zoning
Administrator granted the request of Alan Scheinman for a FINDING under Section 9.3 in the
Northampton Zoning Ordinance to use an existing garage in a residential district for storage
of non-commercial vehicles for property located on Sherman Avenue, Map 25A,Parcel 99.
Zoning Administrator: Mark NeJame
The Findings of the Zoning Administrator under Section 9.3(1)(G) for a change of use for a pre-
existing non-conforming structure were as follows:
1. The Zoning Administrator found that the proposed change of use to the existing garage
(from commercial equipment storage and a partial workshop in a residential district to
personal storage of non-commercial vehicles and a partial workshop) is to one that does
not involve retail and is less intense than the pre-existing non-conforming use and thereby
comes "closer"to meeting the requirements set forth in the Zoning Ordinance.
The following conditions were imposed with this Finding.
1. The use shall be primarily for the storage of vehicles and personal property owned by
Mr. Scheinman;
2. Some incidental leasing of space for storage of motor vehicles owned by others shall
