January 23, 2015
Dear Mr. James and Ms. Richards,
have reviewed your zoning permit application for changes to the garage at 52 Holyoke Street
in Northampton. You have presented a number of scenarios for uses.
The garage does not meet the setback requirements for a dwelling unit. It cannot be used as
living space or sleeping space. Your property is in a residential district, so it cannot be rented for
business or commercial storage use. The only uses allowed at this point would be storage, a workshop
or studio space for the tenants of the house on the property, or as a home business, again for the
tenants of the house on the property. Use as a home business would require a permit from the Zoning
Board of appeals because of the setbacks.
If you present a single proposal with more detailed information, I will make a formal decision.
Based on your current application, all I can say is that some uses would be allowed and some would
not.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Respectfully,
Louis Hasbrouck
Building Commissioner
