+ ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS '
At a meeting held on November 28, 1984, ' the Zoning Board of Appeals , .
of the City of Northampton voted unanimously to grant the special permit
request of Eugene A. Tacy, 158 North Maple Street, Florence, (Northampton)
to construct a building for the purpose of establishing a construction supply
business in conjunction with his existing contractor's yard on Main Street,
Leeds. (SI Zone). Present and voting were: Chairman Robert C. Buscher,
t William Brandt and Peter Laband.
4 The findings were as follows:
IWilliam Brandt commented that when altering the pre-existing
nonconformance, something that is allowed by right now needs a special
permit and found that the proposed use is less detrimental than the
present use, lie also found that the building will bear a positive
relationship to the public convenience as storing .construction:.;--• -'4 .
? equipment that is now stored outside will be stored inside a building
and be less of an eyesore; that the proposed use will, not cause any
undue traffice congestion or impair pedestrian safety;,, that it will
not overload any municipal systems; and that the proposed use will not
impair the character of the district, as a construction supply business
is allowed in that zone.
R. Buscher concurred.
P. Laband also concurred, stating that all requirements for a
special permit have been met.
The following conditions shall apply:
1. That fencing along the northerly sideline of the lot
{ be constructed and partial fencing or shrubbery placed
along the front of the lot.
2. That the operation of the retail business be restricted
to emergency only after 1:00 p.m. Saturday and all of
!# Sunday.
