Northampton ZBA approves minutes, confirms Dec. 11 quorum and notes attorney appearance in litigation
The Northampton City Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously to approve revised minutes for multiple meetings (Aug. 14; Sept. 11; Sept. 25; Sept. 30, 2025) after staff revisions. A board member specifically reviewed the Sept. 11 minutes and moved to adopt the packet; members thanked staff (Nathan) for the revisions.

During the minutes discussion a specific matter noted in the Sept. 11 minutes was the Eric Winkler garage-conversion item. The board took a single roll-call vote on the revised minutes and approved them unanimously.

Board members and staff confirmed a quorum for a Dec. 11 meeting at 5:30 p.m. and added the Jan. 22, 2026 continuation hearing to the calendar. Members discussed the customary January timing under the ZBA bylaws for election of new chair and vice chair and asked staff to send reminders ahead of the Jan. 22 meeting.

On litigation matters, a member reported no substantive updates but said attorney Alan Seawold had filed an appearance on behalf of the city and the board; staff said it was a routine filing and that members would be notified when confirmed updates arrive.

The meeting adjourned by unanimous roll-call vote.
