be living in such a dynamic location and choose to remain in this location
because the many benefits of being downtown offset the detriments of being
adjacent to businesses. We recognize that the proposed site of this store is
zoned for business and do not object to having a business operate there. What
we do object to is this type of business which depends on constant traffic. The
area simply can't support any more cars whether they be moving or parked.
It is for that reason that we ask that you consider any request for the changed
use of the property very carefully, in hopes that a the change be denied. We
discussed the number of parking spaces as one issue. Other issues come to
mind that we would like you to consider. Are curb cuts required and if so are they
in compliance? How much space is required to define a parking space? What
amount of space is required between the street and a parking area? Is lighting
required? Is paving required? Does the fact that Kingsley Avenue is a dead end
street with limited space to turn around need to be considered?
We would like to thank you for the time that you spent with us on Tuesday
discussing this matter and for your consideration of the concerns that we are
expressing.
Sincerely yours,
Samuel and Susan Welson

Dear Paulette,
This letter is a follow-up to our meeting on Tuesday afternoon in your office.
Immediately before we met, the License Commission had authorized a transfer
of a liquor license owned by Pleasant Street Liquor from its current location at 44
Pleasant Street to a new location at 243 Pleasant Street, which is on the corner
of Kingsley Avenue. The transfer is contingent on the use of that location as a
package/convenience store being in compliance with all city zoning regulations.
The proposed use as a retail store is significantly different from the previous use
of that building which served as an office/warehouse for an insulation company
which performed almost all of its services off-site. Therefore a review of whether
this is an appropriate change in use is necessary.
It would appear as though the planned use for the location may not be in
compliance with current parking regulations. There are presently two parking
spaces at the rear of the building that have traditionally been used to park trucks
and cars associated with the insulation company that has been operating there
for many years. On that same lot, immediately beyond those two spaces, is a
multi-family house with frontage on Kingsley Avenue. Between that house and
the street there is an unpaved off street area that has traditionally been used for
parking for residents of that multi-family house. Part of that area also displays
signs indicating that it is parking for Roberto's Restaurant customers and
frequently has numerous cars parked there.
Our family has owned and occupied the house at 8 Kingsley Avenue, which
abuts the property described above, for over twenty years. There have always
been extreme parking and traffic problems in the area due to the proximity to one
of Northampton's major roads, the heavy concentration of businesses in the area
and the limited amount of open space available. Soon, an out-patient facility
operated by the Veteran's Administration Hospital will be opening just across
Pleasant Street, further contributing to the traffic problems. We are delighted to
.'. .t,
