To: Zoning Board of Appeals
As recommended by the Northampton Planning Board at their February 10th
meeting, I would like to amend my application of January 24, 1983 to include
a request for a Variance from the minimum lot size requirement of 12,000
square feet for a two-family dwelling.
I will briefly address the required findings which have to be met as follows:
A. The variance is in regard to a particular parcel of land and the existing
building on the land.
B. When I bought the property in August of 1980 I was unaware of the minimum
lot size requirement and was not even considering the conversion of my house
into a two-family dwelling. Unfortunately, I had nothing to do with the
sale of the piece of the property in the 1970's to Meadowbrook Apartments for
their entrance,since I was not the owner at that time. Note should be made
that it would appear that the sale of the land was quite necessary for adequate
passage of incoming and outgoing traffic. Also, the amount of square footage
that is missing from the minimum requirement is quite small in size, being
only 831 square feet and right on the corner of the property.
C. In a year's time my income will be drastically reduced because I plan to
leave my job and return to graduate school. The idea for a two-family dwelling
came about when I tried to think about how I could possibly meet my mortgage
payments in the future.. The enforcement of the ordnance would create a
substantial hardship on me.
D. A two-family home will not have a detrimental effect upon the neighborhood,
since my home is surrounded mostly by Meadowbrook Apartments. In addition,
the house may look somewhat smaller than it is,from the outside. Inside it
is quite roomy and is quite adequate in size for a two-family dwelling.

DECISION OF THE
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
The Zoning Board of Appeals for the City of Northampton met
on April 27 , 1983 and voted unanimously to grant a variance and
special permit requested on the petition of Janice Robison to
convert her single family home located at 503 Bridge Road,
Northampton , Massachusetts, to a two unit dwelling .
Present and voting were Chairman Robert C. Buscher , Peter
Sharac and Marianne Zurn .
Based on evidence presented to the Board, the Board made the
following findings in regard to the variance:
1 . It was found that the parcel lacks the proper
square footage because a triangular piece had
been cut from the original lot in order to
provide entry to the Meadowbrook Apartment
Complex, thus making the parcel different from
others in the district.
2 . That a literal enforcement of the Zoning Ordi-
nance would involve substantial hardship to the
petitioner since sale of the property as a single
family home would be difficult because of its
proximity to the Meadowbrook Apartment Complex
area.
3 . That a two family home in proximity to the
Meadowbrook Apartment Complex would not derogate
from the intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
Based on evidence presented to the Board, the Board made the
following findings in regard to the special permit:
1 . It was found that the use is listed in the Table
of Use Regulations and that it bears a positive
relationship to the public convenience or welfare
in that an additional dwelling unit would be
added to Northampton housing stock .
2 . That one small unit would not noticeably add to
the traffic nor impair pedestrian safety.
3 . Public systems would not be overloaded and that
since Meadowbrook Apartments are located adja-
cent to the parcel there would be no impairment
of the character of the neighborhood by such a
grant .
The variance and special permit are granted subject to the
following conditions :
1 . that both apartments met all the requirements of
the City and State Building Codes ; and
