re: Westhampton Road
Parcel 42-131
Attorney McLaughlin,
I have reviewed your request for a determination as to whether the parcel of land on
Westhampton Road in Northampton, identified on city maps as 42-131, is a legal building lot. Based on
your information, the lot was created prior to the 1975 Northampton zoning ordinance and has been
held in separate ownership since 1975.
I have determined that the parcel is a legal building lot. It is a nonconforming lot and is protected
by Northampton Zoning chapter 350, section 9.4:
§ 350-9.4 Single-lot exemption for single- and two-family use.
Any increase in area, frontage, width, yard or depth requirements of this chapter shall not apply to a
vacant lot for single- and two-family residential use, which:
A. Has at least 5,000 square feet of area and 50 feet of frontage; and
B. Is in an area zoned for single- or two-family use (A special permit must be obtained if one is
required.); and
C. Conformed to existing zoning requirements when the lot was legally created, if any; and
D. Is in separate ownership prior to the City Council vote which made the lot nonconforming, and has
maintained its separate identity.
Any structure on the lot does need to meet current setback, lot coverage and height
requirements for the WSP zoning district. I've sent a copy of those requirements by email.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. You can reach me at (413) 587-1240 or by
email at Ihasbrouck@northamptonma.gov.
Respectfully,
Louis Hasbrouck
Building Commissioner
