17A-230 (5) DECISION OF
NORTHAMPTON ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
At a meeting held on June 21, 1989, the Zoning Board of
Appeals of the City of Northampton voted unanimously to GRANT
the request of Nathaniel Arai and Katherine First for a
Finding under the Provisions of Section 9. 3 (a) ( 1 ) of the
Northampton Zoning Ordinance that the construction of a two-
story addition to their property at 99 Lake Street, Florence,
would not be substantially more detrimental to the
neighborhood than the existing house, which is a pre-existing
nonconforming structure due to a side setback violation.
Present and voting were Chairman Dr. Peter Laband, William
Brandt and M. Sanford Weil, Jr.
The Findings are as follows:
The existing dwelling is twelve feet from the right side
line; a fifteen foot setback is required by Section 6. 2.
The proposed addition to the rear of the existing structure
will be exactly as wide as the existing structure, thereby
merely extending the nonconformity and not creating a new
violation.
The addition will be virtually invisible from the street,
there is no disturbance to the abutters, and the same number
of people will continue to live in the expanded house.
The Board finds that the proposed addition will not be
substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the
existing structure.

Northampton Zoning Board of Appeals
June 21, 1989 Meeting
Page One
The Northampton Zoning Board of Appeals met at 7 : 50 p. m. on
Wednesday, June 21 , 1989 in Council Chambers, Wallace J. Puchalski
Municipal Building, to conduct a Public Hearing on the Application
of Nathaniel Arai and Katherine First for a Finding under the
Provisions of Section 9 . 3 ( a) ( 1) of the Northampton Zoning Ordinance
that the proposed two-story addition to the rear of their home at
99 Lake Street, Florence will not be substantially more detrimental
to the neighborhood than the existing dwelling, which has one side
setback of only 121 , where 15 ' is required. Present and voting
were Chairman Dr . Peter Laband, William Brandt and M. Sanford Weil,
Jr.
Ch. Laband opened the Public Hearing by reading the Legal Notice,
the Application, Section 9 . 3 (a) ( 1) and a memo from the Northampton
Planning Board. Atty. Roger Lipson appeared for the Applicants,
who had been called out-of-state. He described the addition, which
will double the size of the house, and the side setback violation.
He pointed out that the addition will be no wider than the existing
house, thereby merely extending the nonconformity, not creating a
new violation. He said the addition would be virtually invisible
from the street; no disturbance to the neighbors; no increased use
of the property or increased traffic. He concluded, "We believe
we are not substantially more detrimental than the existing house. "
The Chair asked for proponents, and Victor Kaputa, an abutter,
said, "It' s a small house, the addition will improve it and I have
no objection. " There were no other proponents, and no opponents.
Mr. Brandt moved the Public Hearing be closed. Mr. Weil seconded,
and the motion passed unanimously. Mr. Brandt then stated, "I find
the requested change will not be substantially more detrimental
than the existing house. " Messrs. Weil and Laband voiced their
agreement, Mr. Brandt moved that the Finding be granted, Mr. Weil
seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
Also present, in addition to those mentioned, was R. J. Pascucci,
Board Secretary.
