At a meeting conducted on December 14, 2000,the Northampton Zoning Board of Appeals
unanimously voted 3:0 to grant the request of Kristopher and Jeremy Pease for an amended
SPECIAL PERMIT to replace the Special Permit originally issued June 6, 1984 under the
provisions of Sections 5.3 and 10.10 of-the Zoning Ordinance to allow the sale of used cars as
an accessory use to the existing car repair and refinishing business for property located at
130 Spring Street
Zoning Board Members present and voting were: Chair Mark NeJame and Associate Members
David Narkewicz and Sara Northrup.
In Granting the Special Permit,the Zoning Board of Appeals found:
A. The requested use (the sale of used cars as an accessory use)protects adjoining premises
against seriously detrimental uses because it will not significantly change the nature or
intensity of the existing car repair and refinishing business. According to the terms of the
permit, no more than three used cars may be stored on-site at any one time.
B. The requested use will promote the convenience and safety of vehicular and pedestrian
movement within the site and on adjacent streets because it will not change existing
traffic patterns or volumes.
C. The requested use will promote a harmonious relationship of structures and open spaces
to the natural landscape, existing buildings and other community assets in the area
because it will not change the existing relationship.
