DECISION OF
NORTHAMPTON ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
APPLICANT: THOMAS MIRANDA
APPLICANT ADDRESS: 335 SOUTH STREET, NORTHAMPTON, MA 01060
OWNER: MARYANN ALEXANDER
OWNER ADDRESS: 61 LAUREL PARK, NORTHAMPTON, MA 01060
RE LAND OR BUILDINGS IN NORTHAMPTON AT: 6L LAUREL PARK
At a meeting held on Wednesday, September 16, 1992, the
Northampton Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously to GRANT the
request of MaryAnn Alexander for a FINDING under the Provisions of
§ 9.3(a), page 9 -1 of the Northampton Zoning Ordinance to allow
construction of a 15' X 16' deck on an existing foundation at 61
Laurel Park. Present and voting were Chairman Robert C. Buscher,
Alex Ghiselin, and M. Sanford Weil, Jr.
The findings were as follows:
That the Finding should be approved because the requested change
;; ,will not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than
the existing nonconforming structure, and would in fact improve the
neighborhood because the foundation would be covered with a deck.
The placement of the deck will have minimal effect on the
neighborhood because the building is at least 40' away from the
nearest unit, and is limited from view. The addition of the deck
will not alter the use of the building as a single - family non -
winterized dwelling.
