DECISION City of Northampton
Date:April 1, 2004
Ordinances.
The permit includes subdivision approval for the extension of Garfield Avenue to create a three-lot cluster that will result in creation of six
new affordable housing units on Lots 2 and 3 and one new market rate unit on Lot 1. The approval provides for a reduction in
dimensional requirements for the new lots as well as approval for reduction in required frontage for 155 Chestnut Street(Map 1D 17C-66).
The Board granted the following exemptions and waivers as part of the Comprehensive Permit's provision of six affordable units out of a
total of eight units:
1.Reduction in minimum radius of road centerfine(250'to 235+-7 for a street§7:01(9)of the Northampton Subdivision Rules.
2.Reduction in right-of-way width.Providing 40'instead of required 60'in order to match the existing right-of-way width.
3.Reduction in "hammerhead"length(66'to 40'to match right-of-way).
4.Reduction in frontage for Lot 1 from 70'to 25'to allow reduction in overall length of street and right of way.
5.Reduction of frontage for Lot 3 from 85'to 70'to reduce road infrastructure.
6.Reduction in legal frontage for 155 Chestnut Street(Map ID 17C-66;Plan Book 115 Page 52 lot 1)from 75'to 50:Frontage to be
transferred from Garfield Avenue to Chestnut Street.
7.Waiver for all city permits related to the curb cuts for Lots 1,Z,and 3. Two curb cuts approved for Lots 2 and 3 and one approved for
Lot 1,maximum 1 allowed.
8. Waiver from providing full traffic study. A summary of traffic impacts was provided.
9.As shown on the approved plan sheet L1,side setback on Lot 3 is reduced from 15'to 12'to accommodate the side entry.
The Findings of the Zoning Board of Appeals were based on public comments,recommendations from the Northampton Planning Board
and Northampton Department of Public Works. Northampton Police and Fire Departments were consulted and had no concerns about the
proposed development The Zoning Board of Appeals determined:
A. The requested use includes provision for surface water drainage,sound and sight buffers and preservation of views,light,and air. A
tree buffer will be provided along the boundary of Lot 3. Surface water drainage will improve water quality and quantity flowing off site;
and
B. The requested use will promote the convenience and safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement within the site and on adjacent
streets,minimize traffic impacts on the streets and roads in the area. Consideration of the location of driveway openings in relation to
traffic and adjacent streets,access by emergency vehicles,the arrangement of parking and loading spaces,and provisions for persons
with disabilities has been made. The project includes creation of a sidewalk along one side fo the road extension and a hammerhead for
emergency vehicle accessfturnaround. Driveway openings will be located on all three lots and will not negatively impact traffic function
on the dead-end street;and
C. The requested use will promote a harmonious relationship of structures and open spaces to the natural landscape,existing buildings
and other community assets in the area.A majority(4+acres)of the site will be permanently protected as open space to be owned by the
Northampton Conservation Commission,including permanent protection of the capped landfill. Public access to the open space will be
provided through an easement across Lot 3. All development will be outside the wetland buffer zones;and
D. The requested use will not overload,and will mitigate adverse impacts on,the City's resources including the effect on the City's water
supply and distribution system,sanitary and storm sewage collection and treatment systems,fire protection,streets and schools.
Stormwater will be mitigated on site. There is adequate capacity in the private sewer line to which this project will connect.;and
E. The requested use bears a positive relationship to the public convenience or welfare. The use will not unduly impair the integrity of
character of the district or adjoining zones,nor be detrimental to the health,morals,or general welfare. The use shall be in harmony with
the general purpose and intent of the Ordinance. The project for four singel family homes in a cluster provides units that will be
consistent with the rhythm and the character of the neighborhood a long Garfield Avenue;and
F. The requested use will promote City planning objectives to the extent possible and will not adversely effect those objectives,as
defined in City master or study plans adopted under M.G.L. Chapter 41,Section 81-C and D. Cluster in-rill development as
recommeneded within the City's Vision 2020 document provides new residential units while permanently perserving open space.

ZONING BOARD
DECISION City of Northampton
Date: April 1,2004
Ordinances.
The permit includes subdivision approval for the extension of Garfield Avenue to create a three-lot cluster that will result in creation of six
new affordable housing units on Lots 2 and 3 and one new market rate unit on Lot 1. The approval provides for a reduction in
dimensional requirements for the new lots as well as approval for reduction in required frontage for 155 Chestnut Street(Map ID 17C-66).

3.Reduction in 'hammerhead'length(66'to 40'to match right-of-way).
4.Reduction in frontage for Lot 1 from 70'to 25'to allow reduction in overall length of street and right of way.
5.Reduction of frontage for Lot 3 from 85'to 70'to reduce road infrastructure.
6.Reduction in legal frontage for 155 Chestnut Street(Map ID 17C-66;Plan Book 115 Page 52 lot 1)from 75'to 50:Frontage to be

9.As shown on the approved plan sheet L1,side setback on Lot 3 is reduced from 15'to 12'to accommodate the side entry,
The Findings of the Zoning Board of Appeals were based on public comments,recommendations from the Northampton Planning Board
and Northampton Department of Public Works. Northampton Police and Fire Departments were consulted and had no concerns about the
proposed development The Zoning Board of Appeals determined:
A. The requested use includes provision for surface water drainage,sound and sight buffers and preservation of views,light,and air. A
tree buffer will be provided along the boundary of Lot 3. Surface water drainage will improve water quality and quantity flowing off site;
and
B. The requested use will promote the convenience and safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement within the site and on adjacent
streets,minimize traffic impacts on the streets and roads in the area. Consideration of the location of driveway openings in relation to
traffic and adjacent streets,access by emergency vehicles,the arrangement of parking and loading spaces,and provisions for persons
with disabilities has been made. The project includes creation of a sidewalk along one side fo the road extension and a hammerhead for
emergency vehicle access turnaround. Driveway openings will be located on all three lots and will not negatively impact traffic function
on the dead-end street;and
C. The requested use will promote a harmonious relationship of structures and open spaces to the natural landscape,existing buildings
and other community assets in the area.A majority(4+acres)of the site will be permanently protected as open space to be owned by the
Northampton Conservation Commission,including permanent protection of the capped landfill. Public access to the open space will be
provided through an easement across Lot 3. All development will be outside the wetland buffer zones;and
D. The requested use will not overload,and will mitigate adverse impacts on,the City's resources including the effect on the City's water
supply and distribution system,sanitary and storm sewage collection and treatment systems,fire protection,streets and schools.
Stormwater will be mitigated on site. There is adequate capacity in the private sewer line to which this project will connect.;and
E. The requested use bears a positive relationship to the public convenience or welfare. The use will not unduly impair the integrity of
character of the district or adjoining zones,nor be detrimental to the health,morals,or general welfare. The use shall be in harmony with
the general purpose and intent of the Ordinance. The project for four singe/family homes in a cluster provides units that will be
consistent with the rhythm and the character of the neighborhood along Garfield Avenue;and
F. The requested use will promote City planning objectives to the extent possible and will not adversely effect those objectives,as
defined in City master or study plans adopted under M.G.L. Chapter 41,Section 81-C and D. Cluster in-fill development as
recommeneded within the City's Vision 2020 document provides new residential units while permanently perserving open space.
