Re: 351 Bridge Street
Dear Mr. Palacios,
In response to several complaints, I visited the property owned by you located at 351 Bridge
Street (Parcel ID# 25A-108). There are several "Unregistered/Inoperable Motor Vehicles" located on
the property. I counted 11 such vehicles as well as several unregistered trailers, which is a violation of
the City of Northampton Zoning Ordinance 350-8.8 (L):
No more than two unregistered motor vehicles (any vehicle that does not
have a valid registration legally issued by a governmental authority), and no motor
vehicle accessories which are not parts of said two vehicles may be parked, stored
or otherwise placed on a parcel of land in the City of Northampton without a special
permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals. This section shall not apply to the parking,
storage or otherwise placing of unregistered motor vehicles and/or motor vehicle
accessories where such parking, storage or placement is in connection with a
legally established business selling new and/or used automobiles and trucks, or
automotive repair or automobile service stations. This section shall also not apply to
trucks and tractors which are in use for bona fide agricultural purposes.
You have 90 days to remove or register these vehicles to avoid penalties up to and including fines
and/or court appearances. We will revisit the property in approximately 30 days to check on the
progress of the order.
If you are aggrieved by this decision, you have the right to appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
S ncerely,
it. ;'% � IC ��
