DECISION OF
NORTHAMPTON ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
At a meeting held on January 20, 1988, the Zoning Board of Appeals
of the City of Northampton voted unanimously to GRANT the riance request
of STEPHEN C. FINN, to allow a 50' curb cut and driveway at property
located at 99 _Industrial Drive, Northampton Industrial Park, Northampton,
MA.
The findings were as follows:
1
The Variance requested is for a specific parcel of land, 99
Industrial Drive, Northampton, MA.
The topography of the narrow, one-way cul-de-sac on which said
property lies especially effects said parcel, specifically as to
means of egress therefrom, but does not effect generallv the
zoning district in which it is located.
Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would involve substantial
hardship to the petitioner, in that tractor-trailer trucks,
anticipated in and indigenous to an Industrial Park, would be
unable to reasonably effect egress from said parcel.
Granting the request will not be a substantial detriment to
the public good, nor will it substantially derogate from the
intent and purpose of the Ordinance, inasmuch as there are
several 50' wide driveways in petitioner's immediate area.
