DECISION OF
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
' :. At a meeting held on May 6 , 1987, the Zoning Board of
Appeals, in a split decision, voted to den the Findin
request of Eugene A. Tacy, 158 North Maple Street, (Florence) ,
Northampton for the purpose of constructing a 60 x 60 '
building to be used in conjunction with the existing
r: contractor' s yard located on Main_ Street, Beds, MA (more
i' particularly identified as Parcel 10D of Sheet 17 of the
�i Northampton Assessors ' Maps) . Present and voting were: Acting
Chairman Peter Laband, William Brandt and M. Sanford Weil, Jr.
The findings were as follows:
S. Weil stated that he took a site view and spoke with
several neighbors. He found that as the site measures 2+
acres and the proposed building will be situated on the rear
of the lot directly facing a bridge, that the addition of a 60
x 60 ' ( 23 . 5 ' high) structure on the rear of the lot will not
affect the atmosphere of the village, of Leeds. He added that
the proposed "park" referred to at the public hearing is, in
fact,a narrow strip of land along the bank of the river away
from the bridge, which starts 1/4 block beyond this site. He
also suggested that as those in power chose to zone this
parcel SI , the applicant/owner is entitled to this use. He
found in favor of the finding request.
W. Brandt found that as the request represents a long-
term impact on the conditions of the neighborhood and town,
the construction of a 60 x 60 ' building would be substantially
more detrimental to this existing residential neighborhood
than the existing use.
P. Laband found that as this neighborhood is in
transition and is in the process of being upgraded, and as
!' this single parcel zoned SI is in the middle of the
neighborhood, the expansion of this use with the accompanying
increase in noise, heavy truck traffic and activity would be
more detrimental to the neighborhood.
It was moved, seconded and voted unanimously that a
Special Permit is not applicable in this situation and is ,
Ij therefore , put asidF-, -following he City. S lic ' tor ' o inion.
