CITY SOLICITOR DECISION OF THE ZONING

On August 17, 1977, the Zoning Board of Appeals for the City
of Northampton decided to grant the petition of Russell Myette for
a variance to purchase a nonconforming lot.
The Board finds that there are special circumstances: First the
strip of land is owned by one party, and secondly the petitioner owns
the structure but not the land.
Based upon evidence presented to the Board, the Board made the
following findings:
1. There exists a special hardship owing to circumstances relating
to the soil conditions, shape or topography of such land or structures,
but not affecting generally the zoning district. The tract of land which
is to be divided into three parts is a long strip without much depth. If
the tract was not divided, the petitioner could have an inexcessible
structure, if the owner of the land or his successors did not lease the
land to the petitioner. The petition can only afford a piece of the
land, and the current owner wants to retain the other lots for nonbuilding
purposes.
2. The desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment
to the public good. If the land was subdivided, no further structures
could be constructed unless in conformance with the Zoning Code and flood
plain regulation. Therefore, the public interest in controling density
would not be adversely affected.
3. The desirable relief may be granted without nullifying or
substantially derogating from the intent of zoning. As stated before,
the intent was to regulate density and this will not be affected
adversely, further the structure is a summer home and not a year—round
residence, and the zoning was meant to control such year—round residences
and not temporary occasional use dwellings.
