RE: Determination of Applicability, Westhampton Road Wetland Delineatrni
Dear Mr.Weise;
Enclosed please find the original signed version of the above-referenced document for your files.
This determination is valid for three years, and confirms that the resource area delineation as shown in
the plan referenced herein is accurate. It does not allow any work; any alterations proposed within
jurisdictional resource areas or buffer zones will require additional review.
Please note that the property referenced herein does not meet the dimensional requii;ements to be
considered a building lot pursuant to the Northampton Zoning Ordinance. Due to the property's
proximity to existing conserved land, the City may be interested in purchasing your lot at backland prices
for perm.anent protection. Please contact Wayne Feiden, Director of Planning and Sustainability at 413-
587-1265 if you would like to discuss a possiole sale.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns regarding the Determination.
Thank you,
Sarah La.Valley
