Proiect Narrative
May 22, 2017
To: City of Northampton
Building Dept. / Zoning
Northampton, MA
Attn: Plan Review
Project: Expansion & Renovations to
Northampton Vision Specialists
86 Masonic Street
First Floor
Northampton, MA
Project No: 1707RRT
On behalf of Northampton Vision Specialists please find the attached documentation submitted for
a renovation and expansion of the optical practice.
The following documentation is provided here within:
• Zoning Permit Application.
• Project Narrative (following).
• Existing site photos
• Al: Existing and Proposed Site and Floor Plans
• A2: Existing and Proposed Exterior Elevations (Masonic Street)
• Application fee.
Existing Conditions
The Office Building at 86 Masonic St. is a 2 -story, would -framed facility housing an optical practice
on the first floor and private offices on the second. The existing structure was originally a home
that has been added on numerous times over the years. The existing first floor is approximately
3000 ft. 2.
Northampton Patient Specialists occupies approximately 80% of the first floor. Previous
renovations have provided a barrier free to the building that includes an exterior ramp and new
doorway. This project was processed through the Northampton Zoning Permit Application.
Proposed Work
The proposed renovation project will include new barrier -free toilet rooms, and a renovated interior
to produce additional exam and treatment spaces. Additionally, a relocated Reception area will
allow an expanded Waiting Room that physically connects to the Dispensary area. In order to
achieve that goal a 40 square -foot in addition is required that squares are the southwest corner of
the waiting room.
Originally, this recess was the entrance to the building leading to an exterior porch prior to the
construction of the ramp. The porch was enclosed in the 2009 renovation and the steps removed.
The existing waiting room was the three -season porch and as was typical it is approximately 3
inches below the level of the floor space inside the practice. The current proposal is to raise the
current waiting room floor (and the addition) to be level with the remainder of the practice.
