Buscher opened the Public Hearing by reading the Legal Notice and the Application. He then read a letter from the Applicant, dated November 1, 1990, asking for a continuance to December 5, 1990, because he was putting together a detailed site plan as requested by the Planning Board, which will review this on November 29.

Dr. Laband turned to the Section 10. 10 criteria, found them all to be met, and concluded, "I 'd vote for the Special Permit with the Planning Board's conditions, and the DPW's conditions about grading and the driveway construction, and the plantings. " Ch. Buscher asked if he were going to pump sewage (because of the low-lying locus of the building) , and Mr. Hutchins replied, "If I have to, I will. " Dr. Laband moved that the Special Permit be granted. Mr. Weil seconded. Ch. Buscher added, "I ' ll go along with my colleagues. I think a significant area behind the parking lot should be cleared. The motion passed unanimously. Dr. Laband then moved that the Site Plan be approved, since it met all the criteria,granted. Mr . Weil seconded, and the t Planning Board had gran motion passed unanimously. Also present, in addition to those mentioned, was R. J. Pascucci, Board Secretary. Robert C. uscher, Chairman Northampton Zoning Board of Appeals December 5, 1990 Meeting Page One The Northampton Zoning Board of Appeals met at 8: 15 P. m. on Wednesday, December 5, 1990 in Council Chambers, Wallace J. Puchalski Municipal Building, 212 Main Street, Northampton, to continue, from November 7, 1990, the Public Hearing on the Application of James I. Hutchins for a Special Permit and Site Plan Review, all concerning his proposal to construct a three-family dwelling at 357 Bridge Street. Present and voting were Chairman Robert C. Buscher, Dr. Peter laband, and M. Sanford Weil, Jr. Ch. Buscher relinquished the chair to Dr. Laband, who read the Application, the Legal Notice, letters from the DPW and Wayne Feiden, and a memorandum from the Planning Board. Mr. Hutchins put his site plan on the board, and gave a brief history of his ownership of the property, which began in 1983 . In 1986 the dwelling was turned into a student rental, and in August, 1990, there was a major fatal fire, and the remains of the building are to be demolished, the plan being to replace the structure with three units each having three bedrooms. He had a handout covering the Section 10. 10 criteria, and he proceeded to read from it; "The use is listed in Section 5.2 as requiring a Special Permit. 2) The use bears a positive relationship to the public welfare in that there is a need for three-bedroom apartments in the city, and this house will be well back from Bridge Street, safe for children. 3) The proposed house will not create any traffic/pedestrian problems. The new use will have far less activity on nights and weekends. 4) The new use will not overload any municipal systems. 5) This will not unduly impair the integrity of the zone. This is a mixed neighborhood, with a gas station, Sheldon Field, nine one-family homes, six two-families, and a five-unit office condo. I will follow all of the Planning Board's conditions." Dr. Laband suggested, "Tell us about the driveway." Mr. Hutchins replied, "I met with Mr. Brindis and the DPW is satisfied. " The chair called for proponents, and none were present. He called for opponents, and Richard Wilga rose, and identified him as Mary MuzykaIs son-in-law (she being the immediate abutter to the north) . He wanted to look at the plans, and came forward to do so. Mr. Hutchins explained to them everything he planned to do. Coun. Budgar told the Board, "I 'm apprehensive. This is called 'Kamikaze Corner. ' It's a dangerous area for children. " Mr. Hutchins responded, "I 've got a half-acre for kids to play in. The building is 100 feet from Bridge Street. " There being no one else present to speak in favor or opposition, Dr. Laband moved that the Public Hearing be closed. Mr. Weil seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. Ch. Buscher commented, "Len (Coun. Budgar) has hit on the biggest issue--the danger of it. " Dr. Laband inquired, "How can zoning address this issue" The Ordinance says he needs a special Permit for a three- family. He is not creating traffic congestion--it's already there. �i I ii NORTHAMPTON ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS DECISION. JAMES I. HUTCHINS SPECIAL PERMIT AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL REQUESTS. PAGE TWO.
