RE LAND OR BUILDINGS IN NORTHAMPTON AT: 79 HAWLEY STREET (REAR)
ASSESSOR'S MAP and PARCEL NUMBERS: MAP 32C PARCEL 224
At a meeting conducted on August 6, 1997, the Northampton Zoning Board of Appeals
voted unanimously 3:0 to grant the request of Charlie Wang for a Renewal of a FINDING under
the provisions of Section 9.3 in the Northampton Zoning Ordinance, to allow a change in use of
a pre-existing non -conforming structure at 79 Hawley Street, Northampton, MA.
Zoning Board Members present and voting were: Chair Alex Ghiselin, Vice Chair Mark NeJame
and Larry Snyder.
The Findings of the Board under Section 9.3(1)(D) for a Change in Use of a Pre-existing
Nonconforming structure were as follows:
D. The Board found that the change in use to a four -unit apartment building has not resulted
in substantial more detriment to the neighborhood than the previous non -conforming use
and structure. Board members determined that the applicant's renovations and the
addition of an on-site, experienced manager have improved conditions in the
neighborhood and resulted in the cessation of previous illegal uses.
1. The requested use does not extend any closer to any front, side or rear property
boundary than the exi sting structure already extends and will not create any new
violation of other zoning provisions; and
