31A-205 DECISION OF
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
At a meeting held on September 23 , 1987, the Zoning Board of
Appeals of the City of Northampton voted unanimously to grant
the Finding request of James I. Hutchins, 22 Washington Avenue,
Northampton, MA, for the purpose of constructing an addition
onto a pre-existing nonconforming two-family dwelling at
property located at 446 Bridge Road, Northampton, MA. Present i
and voting were: Chairman Robert C. Buscher, William Brandt
and Peter Laband.
The findings are as follows:
Referring to Section 9. 3 (B) , P. Laband found that the
proposed addition onto the rear of this pre-existing
nonconforming two-family dwelling will have a minor impact on
the neighborhood and will not be substantially more
detrimental, as there is ample room on the lot and the addition
will be screened from the neighbors.
W. Brandt concurred that the requested use will not be
substantially more detrimental, as the applicant will not be
extending the use, but only making the second dwelling unit,
which has existed for 41 years, slightly larger.
R. Buscher also concurred, finding that as the applicant
indicated that the addition would be used as an expansion of
the living quarters, and not as a bedroom, the use will not be
intensified and will not be substantially more detrimental than
the existing nonconforming use.
The following condition shall apply: 'Y
That the extension shall be used to expand existing rooms,
not for additional bedrooms, which would intensify the
nonconforming use.
