3. Describe the facility
53 Gothic Street is a 2 story building originally constructed in 1900. It was formally
a private residence and represents a vernacular New England farmhouse. The front
portion of the building has 2 full stories and the rear portion of the building is a
story and a half under a lowered gabled roof. The building has since been converted
to office space (Business Use). The building is located in the Central Business
District of Downtown Northampton.
6. Briefly descibe the extent and nature of the work to be performed
The owner is proposing to renovate the finishes and mechanical systems as there
has been many years of deferred maintenance and repairs. This work includes: new
roofing, new siding and exterior trim, new windows and exterior doors, new
flooring, new first floor accessible toilet room, new 36” wide interior doors, first
floor accessible ramp entry, and new interior finishes. The owner is also considering
installing a solar array on the roof and upgrading to energry efficient mini-split
systems. The total cost of this work will exceed $100,000.
The owner is proposing to divide the interior spaces into 8 individual, single-
occupancy professional suites with 4 offices on the first floor and 4 offices on the
second floor. The first floor will be fully accessible with a new exterior entry ramp
and accessible toilet room.
10. State in the reasons why compliance with the Board’s regulations is
impracticable
Cost of Work
Please see attached cost estimates for installing a vertical chair lift. $112, 447.00
In addition to the intial cost of installing a vertical chair lift, a lift impacts the layout
of rental spaces, which results in a permanent reduction in potential revenue in the
building and adds to annual maintance fees to keep operational.
The lift redues 32 sq feet of private rental space and an additional 70 sq feet of
public use rental space. The owner estimates this reduction in rentable space to
reduce annual rental income by approximately $5,000. If the entire second floor
cannot be rented due to not receiving a variance, the owner estimates to loose
approximately $32,000 in potential rental revenue per year.
The costs to install and maintain a vertical chairlift will reduce the funds available
for much needed repairs and renovations. Renovation of this building will improve
the building itself, improve the environment of its occupants and positively impact
the City of Northampton by rehabilitating a building in the Central Business District
in need of repairs.
Comparable spaces.
There are 4 offices available for rent on the first floor that are comparable to the 4
second floor offices in rental cost, size, and appearance. There is also an accessible
public space on the first floor that can be used for second floor tenants to meet with
any members of the public that are not capable of accessing the second floor.
We respectfully propose that installing a vertical chair lift will result in an excessive
and unreasonable cost without any substantial benefit for persons with disabilities.

Board Members,
I’ve reviewed the proposed plans for repairs and renovations to the building at 53 Gothic Street in
Northampton. I am familiar with the building. It is an older residential structure near the center of
Northampton. It was converted from residential to business offices a number of years ago, likely in the
1970s. No work has been done to the building since 2013.
The building owner, Peter Whalen is proposing renovations and repairs including new roofing, solar
panels, widening doorways, adding an accessible toilet and creating an accessible entrance.
Based on the relatively low value of the building, the project would require that the whole building be
made accessible. The first floor will be fully accessible and include an accessible toilet room (which
wouldn’t be required by the plumbing code).
There are public space offices on the second floor. Making the whole building accessible would require
a limited use elevator.
As an alternative to the elevator, Mr. Whalen is proposing a “flex” office on the accessible first floor
which would be available to all building tenants.
I support this proposal because installing an elevator would be impracticable; beyond the cost of the
elevator itself, it would likely eliminate two offices, including one of the accessible offices on the first
floor.
Feel free to contact me if you have questions.
Respectfully,
Louis Hasbrouck
