Northampton Airport
Old Ferry Rd.
Map 25 Parcel 15&71
Dear Mr. Giusto,
I have reviewed your application for a decision as to whether the airport is "grandfathered
" for entertainment use beyond the accessory uses associated with an airport. Paulette
Kuzedba , Senior Planner , and myself, reviewed the files, maps, and Zoning Ordinances
for the City of Northampton going back to 1927. The information that we found clearly
indicates that the use of the airport for any thing except as a airfield and accessory uses
connected directly with aviation are the only uses permitted. The Zoning Ordinance from
1927 state (copy enclosed) there were three zoning districts, Non-residence, General
Residence, and Single residence districts. The Airport at its inception was in an area that
was a residence district. The Zoning Ordinance from 1927 read.." Section 2 ... no parcel
of land lying in any residence district and not at the time this ordinance becomes effective
devoted to any business or industry, other than those specified in Section 1 shall hereafter
be used for any business or industry,......" Since the airport by all records was started in
1929 this is the ordinance that was in effect which the airport would have to comply with
as being a pre-existing non-conforming use .
Enclosed you will find a zoning map dated October 8, 1948 which also shows the airport
in a residence district. Any expansion beyond the original use as a airfield would have
required a permit from the alderman and our records indicate no permit was ever issued.
Therefore the uses that were not subordinate and incidental to the principal use of the
airport were illegal uses and cannot be considered as grounds for being grandfathered as a
pre-existing non conforming use because the uses never were legal.
Therefore I am denying your application that the airport is grandfathered for entertainment
uses not associated with the accessory uses as an airport.
Sincerely,
Anthony Patillo
