CR DECISION OF THE ZONING
Ty y,,AS?. . aGLE JR. BOA?.D OF APPEALS
ASSISTANT CITY S:''_!CITJR
On September 28, 1977 , the Zoning Board of ApDeals for the City
of Northampton decided to deny the petition of Richard Ingersoll for
a variance to use a building for an office in a SC Zone .
Based upon evidence presented to the Board, the Board made the
following findings:
1. There exists no special hardship owing to circumstances
relating to the soil conditions, shape or topography of such land or
structures, but not affecting generally the zoning district . Any
hardship was self—created. The petitioner had stated in his building
permit application that the structure was to be an accessory barn
which ,;as allowed under the Zoning Code. Subsequent inspection showed
that it was being used for a non—allowed commercial use.
2 . The desirable relief may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good.
3 . The desirable relief may not be granted without nullifying or
substantially derogating from the intent of zoning. The area is
predominantly residential and agricultural and is zoned for those uses.
