To Whom It May Concern at City of Northampton Zoning Board:
I am writing to support my application for a zoning permit for a home business. My
home has two apartments one of which I will be using for a part -time Clinical
Psychology private practice. The area of the apartment is approximately 320 sq /ft
including the bathroom and kitchen space. Based on documents I have attached
here, this is approximately 14.95% of the space of our 4,783 sq /ft home.
This space has a separate entrance from the back parking area of our home. You can
see it in the attached photos. Also the attached photographs demonstrate that there
is ample parking for at least five cars. Since this will be a very part -time practice at
the most there would be two extra cars (one for current patient and one for next
booked patient) on the property. If both of our cars were at home we can easily
accommodate four cars in our driveway. I would estimate that I would have
between 2 -8 visits per week for this practice. No more than 2 visits per day and 8
visits at most since 1 will be supplementing a full time job with a few private practice
patients. The hours would be between 6 -8 p.m. Monday - Thursday.
I hope that this information is helpful and sufficient for my request. Please contact
me if there is any additional information that is needed.
Sincerely,
Suellen Walsh - Rother, Ph.D.
