06-030 71 Leonard St ZoningDECISION OF THE
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
At its meeting on Wednesday, July 18, 1978, the 'Zoning Board
of Appeals for the City of Northampton voted to deny the petition
of Edmond Greenwood for a variance to convert a portion of a gar-
age to an apartment.
Based upon evidence presented to the Board, the Board made
the following findings in regard to the variance:
1. The property in its present form is not unique and there
are no conditions affecting the property which do not affect
other properties in the District.
2. Enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance may create some in-
convenience, but no hardship other than that created by the
applicant's completion of the apartment prior to this decision.
3. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public
good because the parcel is large enough to accommodate this
small apartment.
4. The proposed use will nullify or derogate the intent of
the Zoning Ordinance in that multiple family dwellings are
not allowed in an U.R.A. Zone and the applicant, although
aware of the Zoning Ordinance restrictions, proceeded with
the project prior to this decision.
