DECISION OF
NORTHAMPTON ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
At a meeting held on August 17, 1988, the Zoning Board
of Appeals of the City of Northampton voted unanimously to
deny the Application of Mark W. Bradford for a Variance from
the Provisions of Section 5.2 of the Northampton Zoning
Ordinance, to allow construction of a two - family dwelling at
124 Spring Street, Leeds. Present and voting were Chairman
Robert C. Buscher, Irene David, and M. Sanford Weil, Jr.
The Findings were as follows:
The lot upon which the proposed house is to be built is
a flat plot of land with no topographical irregularities
that meet the criteria for granting a Variance. The
Applicant is fully able to construct what the Ordinance
allows in this URA District, viz., a one - family dwelling.
There is no hardship in constructing what the Ordinance
allows, versus what is desired by the Applicant.
The criteria enunciated in Section 10, Chapter 40A, M.
G. L. are not met, and the Variance is unanimously denied.

Northampton Zoning Board of Appeals
August 17, 1988 Meeting
The Northampton Zoning Board of Appeals met at 7:00 p. m. on
August 17, 1988 in Council Chambers, Wallace J. Puchalski
Municipal Building, to announce a decision on the Application of
Mark W. Bradford for a Variance from the Provisions of Section
5.2 to allow construction of a two - family dwelling at 124 Spring
Street, Leeds, in a URA Zone. Present and voting were Chairman
Robert C. Buscher, Irene David, and M. Sanford Weil, Jr.
Mrs. David moved that the minutes of the August 3, 1988 meeting
be approved without reading. Mr. Weil seconded, and the motion
passed unanimously.
Mr. Weil began the meeting by reading the Variance criteria as
found in Section 10 of Chapter 40A, M. G. L. He said he felt the
criteria can't be met. The vacant lot is flat and has no
topographical problem. I'm afraid the Applicant can't meet the
criteria, and I reluctantly do not approve."
Mrs. David also felt the criteria cannot be met, and there is no
hardship relative to building what the ordinance allows. She
felt a two - family home would not be detrimental to the
neighborhood, but "the criteria aren't met."
Ch. Buscher said he agreed with his colleagues. "There is
nothing unique about the lot- -it's a flat plot of land. I would
vote to deny."
Mrs. David moved that the request for a Variance be denied. Mr.
Weil seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
Also present, in addition to those mentioned, was R. J. Pascucci,
Board Secretary.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Zoning Board of Appeals
FROM: Northampton Planning Board
SUBJECT: Mark Bradford, Variance Request
DATE: July 18, 1988
FILE:
This Application was considered by the Northampton Planning
Board at its July 14th meeting. Mr. Bradford exhibited many
photographs of two - family dwellings in the neighborhood. He said
some of them were "grandfathered," and some were not legal. He
wants to build a two - family dwelling on the vacant lot next to
his home. He did not address the criteria for granting a
Variance. The Board found that the Applicant could easily build
a one - family home on the lot, and found no hardship. A motion to
deny the request for a Variance passed 6 -1.
