Zoning Permit application
Increase in floor space/
parking requirements
Dear Mr. Sienkiewicz:
I learned from your secretary yesterday that you need additional
information regarding fire egresses and placement of parking spaces
in the above-referenced plans in order to issue a zoning permit.
Attached you will find a plan indicating placement of doorways in
the back wall which lead to the back stairwell. Also attached is
a plan showing an area in the lot adjacent to the building owned
by my clients which will be set aside for the required parking
spaces associated with the increase in floor space.
According to the Northampton Zoning Ordinance, two continguous lots
in common ownership ". . .may be treated as one lot for the purposes
of this Ordinance. . . " Article II, page 2-10. I have designated
an area on the attached plan which will be set aside for the
required parking.
If you have any further questions, please do no hesitate to call
me.
Sincerely,
Diane L. Fernald

RE: 21-31 Main Street Associates
Zoning Permit application
Increase in floor space/
parking requirements
Dear Mr. Sienkiewicz:
On behalf of 21-31 Main Street Associates, I am applying for a
zoning permit which would allow my client to add approximately 1750
square feet of floor space to the existing fourth floor of 21-31
Main Street which is located in the Central Business District.
At the present time, as you will see on the attached plan marked
"A", this space is now open. The third floor ballrom occupies this
space as it is open to the ceiling of the fourth floor. My client
would like to create additional usable space by extending the
existing fourth floor through this open space.
I have attached a rough sketch plan "B" for your review. It
appears that Article VIII is the only zoning ordinance implicated
in this proposal. My client would be required, pursuant to Article
VIII to provide one (1) parking space for every 500 square feet of
floor space added. Section 8.4 provides that if "the computation
of required parking or loading spaces results in the requirement
of a fractional space, any fraction of one-half or more shall
require one space". Because the computation is so close based on
our submitted sketch, I am requesting that you consider issuing the
zoning permit requiring three (3) parking spaces, unless the final
plan indicates that the space contains more than 1750 square feet,
in which event four (4) parking spaces will be required. The
required parking condition will be met by allocating space for this
purpose behind 21-31 Main Street which is adjacent to the building
and is owned by my client.
If you have any questions, or require additional information,
