CITY of NORTHAMPTON OFFICE of PLANNING and DEVELOPMENT
MEMORANDUM
TO: Bruce Palmer, Building Inspector
MC 81999 ,
FROM: R. J. Pascucci, Planning Board Secretar ,
DEPT OF BUILDING INSPECTIONS
SUBJECT: 305 Bridge Road NORTHAMPTON.MA 01060
DATE: September 15, 1989
FILE:
After last night' s Planning Board meeting, Judith Hale, one
of the Board members, pointed out a zoning violation at 305 Bridge
Road. In July, 1988 , Richard Wanczyk filed an application for a
variance. His home had an attached garage, which he converted to
a family room. Then he built a detached garage, four feet from the
side lot line (OK because detached) . He sought a variance to
connect the detached garage to the house. Both the Planning Board
and the Zoning Board felt he was taking a "back-door approach, " to
extending his house to within four feet of his side abutter. The
request for a variance was denied.
Mrs . Hale says that, in spite of the variance denial, he has
gone ahead and connected the detached garage. The Board voted
unanimously to request that you visit the premises, and if you find
the violation as described, take whatever steps are necessary to
correct the situation.
Thanks.
