At a meeting conducted on May 12, 1994, the Northampton
Planning Board unanimously voted 9:0 to grant the request of
Peter and Jill Kelley for a SPECIAL PERMIT to access a lot over
the side lot line, under the provisions of Section 6.12 and Site
Plan Approval under the provisions of Section 10. 11 of the
Northampton Zoning Ordinance at 533 North Farms Road.
Planning Board Members present and voting were: Chairman Andrew
Crystal, Vice Chairman Daniel Yacuzzo, Bob Riddle, Kenneth
Jodrie, Nancy P. Duseau, Dr. Joseph Beauregard, Judith B. Hale,
Jody Blatt, Mark NeJame.
In Granting a Special Permit for Vehicular egress/Access to a
Lot, the Planning Board found:
1. The requested use for access over a side lot line is so
designated in Section 6. 12 of this Ordinance. .
2 . The requested use bears a positive relationship to public
convenience or welfare.
3. The requested use will not create undue traffic congestion
or unduly impair pedestrian safety because the use will be
for a driveway for a single-family residence.
4 . The requested use will not overload any public water,
drainage or sewer system, or any other municipal system to
such an extent that the requested use or any developed use
in the immediate area or in any other area of the City will
be unduly subjected to hazards affecting health safety or

the gene( ' welfare, bee , tn a driveway does not impact on
any mural al system.
5. The requested use meets 0 pecial regulations set forth in
the Zoning Ordinance, specifically Section 6.12 - vehicular
Egress/Access to a Lot and Common Driveways.
6. The requested use will not unduly impair the integrity or
character of the district or adjoining zones, will not be
detrimental to the health, morals, or general welfare, and
is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the
Ordinance because driveway access over the side lot line
will be a safer egress and entryway to the residence than
the previously proposed site for the driveway which was
prohibitively steep for emergency vehicles.
s
In Approving the SitePlan, under Section 10.11 (6) , the Planning
Board found that the plan submitted with the Special Permit:
A. Has provided for the protection of adjoining premises
against seriously detrimental uses by providing for:

engineer shall submit certification that the existing
conditions are adequate to protect adjoining premises
against seriously detrimental uses by providing for
surface water drainage.
2. Sound and sight buffers.
3 . Preservation of views, light and air.
B. Has provided for the convenience and safety of vehicular and
pedestrian movement within the site and on adjacent streets,
minimized traffic impacts on the streets, roads and highways
in the area, the location of driveway openings in relation
to traffic, access by emergency vehicles, and to adjacent
streets and, when necessary, compliance with other
regulations for the handicapped, minors and the elderly.
C. Has provided for the adequacy of the arrangement of parking
and loading spaces in relation to the proposed uses of the
premises.
D. Has provided for the relationship of structures and open
spaces to the natural landscape, existing buildings and

run-off. The applicant shall notify all abutters of the
review date.

conditions are adequate to protect adjoining premises
against seriously detrimental uses by providing for surface
water drainage.
