DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AREA (CONTINUED) CODE No. 302 1., IMPROVED LAND AS USEDAN THE PREVIOUS ..TABLES...REFERS TO: (A) LAND UPON WHICH BUILDINGS ARE SITUATED, NOT INCLUDING THAT PORTION OF A PARCEL WHICH IS CLEARLY IN EXCESS OF THE NEEDS OF THE BUILDINGS ON IT AND ITS APPURTENANT USES; (2) LAND CONTAINING ONLY OLD FOUNDATIONS OR TEMPORARY STRUCTURES OR WHICH IS USED FOR OPEN TYPE USES WITHOUT PERMANENT STRUC- TURES. (B) RIGHTS-OF-WAY OF STREETS AND ALLEYS WHICH ARE IMPROVED WITH ALL- WEATHER SURFACING AND/OR UTILITIES OR WHICH', IF UNSURFACED, ARE CLEARLY NECESSARY TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO LAND INCLUDED IN (1) ABOVE. THE TOTAL PROJECT AREA IS APPROXIMATELY 20 PER CENT PRESENTLY IMPROVED, CONSISTING OF BUILDINGS AND STREETS. THE MAJOR PORTION OF UNIMPROVED LAND (4I PER CENT OF THE PROJECT AREA) IS LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THE PROJECT AREA AND CONSISTS OF SOME 46 ACRES OF LAND USED FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES. 2. EXISTING BUILDINGS THE PROJECT AREA CONTAINS 22. MAJOR BUILDINGS AND 28 SMALLER STRUCTURES, SUCH AS GARAGES, SHEDS AND BARNS. NINE OF THESE MAJOR BUILDINGS ARE LOCATED ON PARCELS TO BE ACQUIRED AND WILL EVENTUALLY BE CLEARED. FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THE RETENTION OF BUILDING NO. 2-2 IS SET FORTH IN CODE NO. 308, LAND DISPOSAL REPORT. 3. EXISTING STREET SYSTEM BATES STREET, THE ONLY THROUGH STREET WITHIN THE PROJECT BOUNDARIES, CONNECTS BETWEEN DAMON ROAD THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY OF THE PROJECT) AND BRADFORD STREET IN THE SOUTH HALF OF THE PROJECT. PRESENTLY IT IS OPEN TO THROUGH TRAFFIC, BUT DUE TO A VERY POOR BRIDGE CROSSING OVER THE RAILROAD TO THE SOUTH, HAS LIMITED USE. THE ONLY OTHER STREET WITHIN THE PROJECT AREA IS BRADFORD STREET, A MINOR, DEAD-END STREET COMMENCING AT BATES STREET AND RUNNING WEST TO THE RAILROAD. AN EXISTING UNDERPASS OF THE RAILROAD AT THE EXTREME SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE PROJECT AREA IS SO NARROW AND PROJECT AREA REPORT CODE No. 302 Cc DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AREA (CONTINUED) DIFFICULT THAT. TO ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, -THERE IS NO OUT- LET IN THIS -:DIRECTION. 4. TOPOGRAPHY THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE AREA-IS FOR THE MOST PART GENTLY SLOPING TOWARDS THE WEST, ONLY A NEGLIGIBLE PERCENTAGE OF THE LAND COULD BE CONSIDERED UNDESIRABLE FOR CONSTRUCTION DUE TO GRADE. H. ELIGIBILITY AS A COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL PROJECT THIS PROJECT AREA CONTAINS MANY OF THE PRIMARY CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH A "DECADENT AREA" AND A <'BLIGHTED OPEN AREA" AS DEFINED BY SEC. 26J, CHAP. 121 OF THE GENERAL LAWS. THE AREA IS ESSENTIALLY AN ISLAND OF UNDEVELOPED RURAL LAND SURROUNDED BY INTENSE URBAN DEVELOPMENT, BUT CUT-OFF FROM THE OPPORTUNITY OF SIMI- LAR DEVELOPMENT (AT LEAST BY PRIVATE RESOURCES) BY PHYSICAL BARRIERS IN THE FORM OF RAILROADS TO THE WEST AND SOUTH AND INTERSTATE 91 TO THE EAST';'." THESE BARRIERS MAKE IT ECONOMICALLY IMPRACTICAL FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPERS' TO SERVICE THIS AREA WITH SANITARY SEWERS;. AND THE SOIL CONDITIONS MAKE PROVISION OF ON-SITE FACILITIES IMPOSSIBLE. IN ADDITION, A HIGH GROUND / WATER TABLE LIM ITS CONSTRUCTION UNLESS THE AREA CAN BE DRAINED. AS A RESULT, THIS AREA IS A DECADENT AREA WHICH IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE SAFETY, HEALTH, MORALS, WELFARE AND SOUND GROWTH OF THE CITY DUE TO THE EXISTENCE OF BUILDINGS WHICH ARE OUT OF REPAIR, UNFIT FOR HUMAN HABI- TATION OR IN NEED OF MAJOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR. WITHIN THE PROJECT AREA THERE ARE 22 MAIN BUILDINGS AND 28 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS. OF THE 22 MAIN BUILDINGS, THERE ARE 12 (OR 55.5 PER CENT) CLAS- SIFIED AS SUBSTANDARD, D.UE EITHER TO STRUCTURAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDI- TIONS, OR BOTH, ALL OF WHICH ARE RESIDENTIAL SEE MAP NO. I). ONE OF THE NON-RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS BOTH LOCATED ON DAMON ROAD) IS CLASSIFIED AS STANDARD, THE OTHER IS SUB-STANDARD. THE LACK OF SANITARY SEWERS HAS RE- SULTED IN SUCH A SERIOUS HEALTH MENACE THAT THE CITY BOARD OF 'HEALTH SENT CONDEMNATION NOTICES TO THIRTEEN RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES IN THIS AREA. ACTION ON THIS NOTICE HAS ONLY BEEN WITHHELD BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY-OF THIS PROJECT BRINGING A SANITARY SEWER LINE THROUGH THIS AREA. SITE CONDITIONS, INCLUDING POOR SOILS AND UNDERGROUND CONDITIONS, HIGH GROUND- WATER TABLE, LACK OF SEWERS AND AN OBSOLETE STREET PATTERN, REQUIRE THAT Q c~~ THE AREA BE DEVELOPED IN A UNIFIED, INTEGRATED MANNED YET MANY IRREGULARLY SHAPED LOTS MAKE IT DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, FOR A PRIVATE DEVELOPER TO NORTHAMPTON INDUSTRIAL PARK NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS 302-5 PROJECT AREA REPORT CODE No, 302 ` ASSEMBLE A SIZEABLE ENOUGH TRACT FOR DEVELOPMENT, CONSIDERING THE NEED FOR NEW STREETS AND UTILITIES ESSENTIAL TO ADEQUATELY SERVICE THIS AREA, IN ADDITION, THE BLIGHTING CONDITIONS ARE A SERIOUS DEGENERA_,.:.. TING INFLUENCE ON ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL AREAS, MANY OF WHICH HAVE DE-- TERIORATED INTO SUB-STANDARD CONDITIONS OF HOUSING. THE PROJECT AREA LIES IN THE PATH-OF, AND INTERFERES WITH, THE SOUND GROWTH OF THE CITY. ALTHOUGH THIS AREA HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS THE MOST-DESIRABLE AND APPROPRIATE AREA FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY, THE CONDITIONS WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO AND RESULT IN ITS BLIGHTED, CHARACTER ARE NOT BEING, AND IN THE FORE- SEEABLE FUTURE ARE NOT LIKELY TO BE, REMEDIED BY THE ORDINARY OPERA- TIONS OF-PRIVATE ENTERPRISE, AND ARE WORSENING, AS A RESULT, NO SUBSTANTIAL USE OTHER THAN AGRICULTURAL HAS BEEN OR IS BEING MADE OF THE LARGE, OPEN UNDEVELOPED AREA WHICH MAKES UP 41 PER CENT OF THE SITE. THIS AREA IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE SAFETY, HEALTH, MORALS, WELFARE AND SOUND GROWTH OF THE CITY BECAUSE IT IS UNDULY COSTLY. TO DEVELOP IT. SOUNDLY THROUGH THE ORDINARY OPERATIONS OF PRIVATE ENTERPRIISE BY REASON OF THE EXISTENCE OF UNSUITABLE SOIL CONDITIONS, SOIL CONDITIONS ARE POOR, WITH INADEQUATE DRAINAGE CHARACTERISTICS, LIMITING ON-SITE SEWAGE DISPOSAL FACILITIES, A CONDITION WHICH IS AG- GRAVATED BY SMALL,, LOTS AND A LARGE SWAMPY AREA IN THE SOUTH--CENTRAL PORTION OF THE TRACT_NEAR BRADFORD STREET. IN ADDITION, THE GROUND I WATER TABLE IN THIS ENTIRE-AREA IS EXCESSIVELY HIGH, AS POINTED OUT IN A MASTER PLAN STUDY FOR .SANITARY SEWERS MADE BY MORGENROTH ASSOC. IN 1958. THE HIGH GROUND-WATER TABLE IMPOSES THE NEED FOR SUB-SURFACE, DRAINAGE OF THE ENTIRE AREA IN ORDER TO PERMIT ANY SUBSTANTIAL BUILDING CONSTRUC- TION, AND THIS WAS RECOMMENDED AS PART OF THE ABOVE-NOTED MASTER PLAN7 FOR SANITARY SEWERS (SEE EXCERPT FROM THIS REPORT AS NOTED AS EXHIBIT V1),. THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE TO=THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE UNDULY EXPENSIVE MEASURES FOR WATERPROOFING FOUNDATIONS AND BASEMENT WALLS OR OTHER BELOW GRADE STRUCTURES. WITHOUT ONE OR A COMBINATION OF THESE MEASURES, WHICH RE- PRESENT UNDULY EXPENSIVE COSTS TO PRIVATE ENTERPRISE, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THIS AREA COULD BE CONSIDERED POSSIBLE FOR SOUND DEVELOPMENT. THE. BEST ILLUSTRATION OF THIS FACT IS THAT, ALTHOUGH LAND ALL AROUND THIS AREA IS BEING AND HAS BEEN ACTIVELY DEVELOPED FOR URBAN USES SUCH AS RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL, NEARLY HALF OF THIS AREA IS STILL HELD IN AGRI- CULTURAL USE. THUS WE CAN CONSIDER THAT THIS AREA CONSISTS OF BOTH•OBSO- LETE AND INAPPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT. • I i NORTHAMPTON INDUSTRIAL'PARK f NORTHAMPTON MASSACHUSETTS' 302..-6 i rrtc~~>=c; 1 HKtH ttt: rUl2 r CODE No. 302 FINALLY, THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PRIVATE ENTERPRISE TO UNDERTAKE ANY . PROPER DEVELOPMENT OF THIS AREA IS.LIMITED BY THE FACT THAT INTERNAL ROADS AND UTILITIES ARE INADEQUATE AND CORRECTIVE MEASURES- INVOLVE EXTENSIVE COSTS, ELIGIBILITY FOR THE FEDERAL URBAN RENEWAL PROGRAM IS PREDICATED ON i CERTAIN DETERMINATIONS SUCH AS PRESENT CHARACTER OF THE AREA, EXTENT OF PRESENT DEVELOPMENT AND PROPOSED RE-USE, BASED ON THE CRITERIA ESTABLISHED IN RHA 7205, 1, CHAP, 1-2 OFTHE URBAN RE•NEWAL.MANUAL;"HE . PRESENT CHARACTER OF THE AREA MUST BE CONSIDERED TO BE NON-RESIDENTIAL SINCE LESS THAN 51 PER CENT OF THE LAND IS IMPROVED FOR RESIDENTIAL USE . ACTUALLY LESS THAN IS PER CENT OF THE LAND IS IMPROVED FOR. RESIDENTIAL USE). THE EXTENT OF TOTAL PRESENT DEVELOPMENT (LESS THAN 30 PER CENT OF THE LAND IS IMPROVED) INDICATES THAT THIS AREA MUST BE DETERMINED TO BE OPEN LAND, UNDER THE,DEFINITION OF "OPEN LAND" IN THE URBAN RENEWAL MANUAL. THE PROPOSED RE-USE IS NON-RESIDENTIAL (SPECIFICALLY INDUSTRIAL) AS DETERMINED BY THE REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, AND AS SUPPORTED BY RECOM- MENDATIONS IN THE CITY9S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE RECENT MARKETABI- LITY STUDY. THE ONLY FEDERAL PROGRAM FOR WHICH THE ABOVE CONDITIONS QUALIFY IS AN "OPEN LAND EXCEPTION PROJECT", FOR WHICH NO CAPITAL GRANTS: • ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE, IN ADDITION, WHILE THERE ARE SOME BUILDINGS THAT. i ARE RATED AS SUB-STANDARD, THEY ARE SCATTERED RATHER THAN EVENLY DISTRI- BUTED THROUGHOUT THE AREA, AND THE.BASIC REQUIREMENT OF DISTRIBUTION OF DEFICIENCIES WOULD RULE THE AREA OUT FOR THIS REASON SEE MAP NO,. 1), THE PROJECT AREA MEETS THE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AS.

OUGHT TO BE UNDERTAKEN AND CARRIED OUT IN THE PROJECT AREA AND THAT IT IS NECES- SARY AND ESSENTIAL TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE PROJECT AND OF THE CITY OF NORTH- AMPTON THAT THE ,'BOUNDARIES OF THE PROJECT AREA BE AS DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT V ill, MADE A PART HEREOF, AND INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. 2. THAT THIS PROJECT AREA CONTAINS MANY OF THE PRIMARY CHARACTERISTICS OF A DECA- DENT AREA AS DEFINED BY SEC. 26J, CHAP. 121 OF THE GENERAL LAWS, AND AS A RE- SULT, THIS AREA IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE SAFETY, HEALTH, MORALS, WELFARE AND SOUND GROWTH OF THE CITY FOR THE REASONS ENUMERATED BELOW. i 0 EXHIBIT V II A, THAT WITHIN THIS PROJECT AREA THERE EXIST BUILDINGS WHICH ARE OUT OF REPAIR, UNFIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION OR IN NEED OF MAJOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR, AND WITHIN THE PROJECT AREA THERE ARE 22 MAIN BUILDINGS AND 28 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS, OF THE 22 MAIN BUILDINGS, THERE ARE 12 (OR 55,5 PER CENT) CLASSIFIED AS SUB- STANDARD, DUE EITHER TO STRUCTURAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, OR BOTH, ALL OF WHICH ARE RESIDENTIAL, B. THAT MANY OF THESE BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED UNFIT FOR HUMAN HABITA- TION DUE TO THE LACK OF SANITARY SEWERS WHICH HAS RESULTED IN SUCH A SERIOUS HEALTH MENACE THAT THE CITY BOARD OF HEALTH SENT CONDEMNATION NOTICES TO THIRTEEN RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES IN THIS AREA, ACTION ON THIS NOTICE HAS ON- LY BEEN WITHHELD BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS PROJECT BRINGING A SAN- ITARY SEWER LINE THROUGH THIS AREA, C. THAT SITE CONDITIONS, INCLUDING POOR :SOILS AND UNDERGROUND CONDITIONS, HIGH GROUND WATER TABLE, LACK OF SEWERS AND AN OBSOLETE STREET PATTERN, REQUIRE THAT THE AREA BE DEVELOPED IN A UNIFIED, INTEGRATED MANNER YET MANY IRREGU- LARLY SHAPED LOTS MAKE IT DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, FOR A PRIVATE DEVEL- OPER TO ASSEMBL'E'_A_'S'IZEABLE'ENOUGH.TiRACT. FOR DEVELOPMENT, CONSIDERING THE NEED FOR NEW STREETS AND UTILITIES ESSENTIAL TO ADEQUATELY SERVICE THIS AREA. IN ADDITION, THE BLIGHTING CONDITIONS ARE A SERIOUS DEGENERATING INFLUENCE ON ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL AREAS, MANY OF WHICH HAVE DETERIORATED INTO SUB- STANDARD CONDITIONS OF HOUSING. D. THAT THE PROJECT AREA IS PRESENTLY SERVED BY ONLY THREE LOCAL STREETS , DAMON ROAD, BRADFORD STREET AND BATES STREET, WHICH DO NOT PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE PATTERN FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT - - DAMON ROAD AND BRADFORD i STREET ARE OF SHORT LENGTH, FULLY DEVELOPED BOTH SIDES, AND LOCATED, IN THE EXTREME EAST BOUNDARY OF THE PROJECT PERMITTING DEVELOPMENT ON ONLY ONE SIDE FOR HALF OF ITS LENGTH ( THE OTHER SIDE ABUTTING THE RMAY OF 1-91) THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS IN THE PROJECT AREA. E. THAT THE LAND USE, UTILITY AND TRAFFIC CIRCULATION PROBLEMS ARE TYPICAL OF THE OBSOLESCENCE WHICH IS AN ALMOST INEVITABLE RESULT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF MARGINAL LAND OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS, NOT BY COORDINATION WITH A LOCALLY CONCEIVED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE SOUND GROWTH OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE, BUT RATHER ACCORDING TO CHANCE. THEREFORE, NEITHER DESIGN NOR OTHER PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, CULTURAL OR ECONOMIC FACILITIES, NEITHER THE SPACING AND ARRANGEMENT OF THE STRUCTURES NOR THE PATTERNS OF LAND USE OR TRAFFIC CIRCULATION WITHIN THE PROJECT AREA ARE NOW RESPONSIVE TO CONTEMPORARY COMMUNITY NEEDS OR PROPER COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. F. THAT FOR THE FORGOING REASONS THE PROJECT AREA WILL NOT, BY PRIVATE ENTER- PRISE ALONE, AND WITHOUT THE AID SOUGHT FROM THE COMMONWEALTH, BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT - - WHICH HAS BEEN DESIGNATED ITS "HIGH- EST AND BEST USE" BY A RECENT MARKETABILITY STUDY, AND WHICH BOTH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE ZONING ORDINANCE SPECIFY AS THE RECOMMENDED USE. THE HIGH COST OF LAND ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT OCCASIONED BY THE NEED TO DEMOLISH EXISTING OBSOLETE STRUCTURES AND EXTEND THE SANITARY SEWER INTO THE AREA MAKE IT UNLIKELY THAT PRIVATE ENTERPRISE COULD AFFORD TO UN- DERTAKE ITS DEVELOPMENT. LACKING SUCH ACTION, AND WITHOUT ANY ECONOMICAL l MEANS OF CORRECTING THE SEWAGE PROBLEMS , THE BLIGHTING CONDITION WOULD WORSEN. EXHIBIT V II i 3, THAT THE AUTHORITY DOES HEREBY FIND AND DETERMINE THAT THE PROJECT AREA IS A DECADENT AREA, IN THAT IT IS AN AREA WHICH IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE SAFETY, HEALTH, MORALS, WELFARE AND SOUND GROWTH OF THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE OF ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS AND CONDITIONS: TO WIT, BECAUSE OF THE EXISTENCE OF BUILDINGS WHICH ARE NOT SERVED BY ADEQUATE UTILITIES, ARE OF ADVANCED AGE, OUT OF REPAIR, PHYSICALLY DETERIORATED, UNFIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION, FUNCTIONALLY OBSOLETE, AND IN NEED OF MAJOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SUCH THAT RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN THE AREA HAVE BEEN CONDEMNED BY THE BOARD OF HEALTH, BECAUSE OF INADEQUATE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION AND THE LACK OF INTERNAL PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY SERVING THE PROJECT AREA, AND BECAUSE THE EXISTING FUNCTIONAL OBSOLESCENCE IN BUILDING USE AND SITE LAYOUT IT IS IMPROBABLE THAT THE PROJECT AREA WOULD BE REDEV- ELOPED IN TERMS OF ITS HIGHEST AND BEST USE BY THE ORDINARY OPERATIONS OF PRI- VATE ENTERPRISE, 4, THAT, MORE PARTICULARLY, THE AUTHORITY DOES HEREBY FIND AND.DETERMINE AS FOLLOWS. A. MANY OF THE EXISTING BUILDINGS IN THIS AREA (60 PERCENT OF THOSE TO BE ACQUIRED) ARE OBSOLETE IN TERMS OF ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION OR PRESENT CONDITION, AND THE PRESENCE OF THE RAILROA D TRACKS AND NON-RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ALONG DAMON ROAD AND KING STREET PROVIDE ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS LEADING TO FURTHER DETERIORATION, B. NEITHER DESIGN NOR OTHER PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, CULTURAL OR ECONOMIC FACILITIES, NEITHER THE SPACING AND ARRANGEMENT OF THE STRUCTURES NOR THE LAND USE, STREET PATTERNS, OR TRAFFIC CIRCULATION WITHIN THE PROJECT AREA ARE RES- PONSIVE TO CONTEMPORARY COMMUNITY NEEDS OR PROPER COMPREHENSIVE COM- MUNITY GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, C, THE PROJECT AREA WOULD NOT, BY PRIVATE ENTERPRISE ALONE, AND WITHOUT THE AID SOUGHT FROM THE COMMONWEALTH, BE MADE_AVAILABLE FOR INDUSTRIAL % DEVELOPMENT - - LACKING SUCH ACTION, AND WITHOUT ANY ECONOMICAL MEANS OF CORRECTING THE SEWAGE PROBLEMS, THE BLIGHTING CONDITION WOULD WOR- SEN, AND THE CITY WOULD BE DEPRIVED OF ONE OF ITS FINEST AREAS FOR POTEN- TIAL INDUSTRIAL GROWTH, D.

PUCHALSKI MAYOR FRANCIS W. HOGAN, CHAIRMAN JOSEPH DEYETTE SR. , VICE CHAIRMAN GEORGE H. HARTLING, TREASURER STANLEY B. DOWGERT, ASST. TREAS. GERALD R. WALLACE, CLERK RESOLUTION OF NORTHAMPTON REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY APPROVING FINDING OF BLIGHTED OPEN AREA "WHEREAS, THE NORTHAMPTON REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (HEREINAFTER CALLED TITHE AUTHORITY") IS A PUBLIC BODY POLITIC AND CORPORATE DULY ORGANIZED AND EXISTING UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 121 OF MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL LAWS (TER, ED.), AS AMENDED (HEREINAFTER CALLED TITHE HOUSING AUTHORITY LAWTT) AND HAVING A USUAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IN THE CITY OF NORTHAMP- TON, MASSACHUSETTS, WHEREAS, THE AUTHORITY HAS, WITH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDED BY THE CITY OF NORTHAMP- TON AND BY THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS UNDER SECTIONS 26GGG AND 26HHH OF THE SAID HOUSING AUTHORITY LAW, UNDERTAKEN AND CONDUCTED SURVEYS, STUDIES AND INSPECTIONS OF AN AREA IN THE CITY OF NORTHAMPTON KNOWN AS THE NORTHAMPTON INDUSTRIAL PARK AREA AND DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT V III, WHICH IS ATTACHED HERETO, AND MADE A PART OF AND INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE (HEREINAFTER CALLED TT THE PROJECT AREA'T), IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRE- PARATION OF AN REDEVELOPME,NTPROJECT FOR SUCH AREA, AND WHEREAS, THE AUTHORITY HAS MADE, REVIEWED AND CONSIDERED DETAILED SURVEYS, STUDIES, APPRAISALS, INSPECTIONS, STATEMENTS, AND OTHER DATA AND STATISTICS PERTAINING TO THE PRO- JECT AREA AND PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, CULTURAL, ECONOMIC AND OTHER CONDITIONS THEREIN WHICH HAVE BEEN PREPARED AND PRESENTED BY OFFICIALS OF THE CITY OF NORTHAMPTON, MEMBERS OF THE AUTHORITY'S STAFF, AND CONSULTANTS RETAINED BY THE AUTHORITY, AND HAS VIEWED THE PROJECT AREA AND 1S FAMILIAR WITH CONDITIONS THEREIN: NOW THEREFORE, UPON CONSIDERATION THEREOF, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE NORTHAMPTON REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY 1, THAT THE AUTHORITY DOES HEREBY FIND AND DETERMINE THAT Ax REDEV.EL1OPNfE'NT PROJECT OUGHT TO BE UNDERTAKEN AND CARRIED OUT IN THE PROJECT AREA AND THAT IT IS NECES- SARY AND ESSENTIAL TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE PROJECT AND OF THE CITY OF NORTH- AMPTON THAT THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PROJECT AREA BE AS DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT V III, MADE A PART HEREOF, AND INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE, 2, THAT THIS PROJECT AREA CONTAINS MANY OF THE PRIMARY CHARACTERISTICS OF A BLIGHTED OPEN AREA AS DEFINED BY SEC, 26J, CHAP, 121 OF THE GENERAL LAWS, AND AS A RESULT, THIS AREA IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE SAFETY, HEALTH, MORALS, WELFARE AND SOUND GROWTH OF THE CITY, EXHIBIT IX THAT IT IS UNDULY COSTLY TO DEVELOP IT SOUNDLY THROUGH THE ORDINARY OPERATIONS OF PRIVATE ENTERPRISE BY REASON OF. A. THE EXISTANCE OF UNSUITABLE SOIL AND DRAINAGE CONDITIONS WHICH RENDER IT IM- POSSIBLE, IN MOST CASES, TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE, SAFE AND SANITARY SEWAGE TREAT- MENT FACILITIES ON SITE, COMBINED WITH THE ISOLATION OF THE SITE BY TWO BRANCHES OF THE RAILROAD, WHICH MAKE EXTENSION OF EXISTING SANITARY SEWER LINES ECONOM- ICALLY IMPRACTICAL, B. THE POOR SOIL CONDITIONS ARE FURTHER AGGRAVATED BY SMALL LOTS, AND A LARGE SWAMPY AREA IN THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PORTION OF THE TRACT NEAR BRADFORD STREET, IN ADDITION, THE GROUND WATER TABLE IN THIS ENTIRE AREA IS EXCESSIVELY HIGH, AS POINTED OUT IN A MASTER PLAN STUDY FOR SANITARY SEWERS MADE BY MORGENROTH Assoc. IN 1958. C. THE HIGH GROUND-WATER TABLE IMPOSES THE NEED FOR SUB-SURFACE DRAINAGE OF THE ENTIRE AREA IN ORDER TO PERMIT ANY SUBSTANTIAL BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, AND THIS WAS RECOMMENDED AS PART OF THE ABOVE-NOTED MASTER PLAN FOR SANITARY SEWERS, THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE TO THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE UNDULY EXPENSIVE MEASURES FOR WATERPROOFING FOUNDATIONS AND BASEMENT WALLS OR OTHER BELOW GRADE STRUCTURES, D. WITHOUT ONE OR A COMBINATION OF THESE MEASURES, WHICH REPRESENT UNDULY EXPEN- SIVE COSTS TO PRIVATE ENTERPRISE, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THIS AREA COULD BE CONSIDER- ED POSSIBLE FOR SOUND DEVELOPMENT. THE BEST ILLUSTRATION OF THIS FACT IS THAT, ALTHOUGH LAND ALL AROUND THIS AREA IS BEING AND HAS BEEN ACTIVELY DEVELOPED FOR URBAN USES SUCH AS RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL, NEARLY HALF OF THIS AREA IS STILL HELD IN AGRICULTURAL USE, E. THE PROJECT AREA LIES IN THE PATH OF, AND INTERFERES WITH, THE SOUND GROWTH OF THE CITY. ALTHOUGH THIS AREA HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS THE MOST DESIRABLE AND APPROPRIATE AREA FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY.; THE CONDITIONS WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO AND RESULT IN ITS= BLIGHTED CHARACTER ARE NOT BEING, AND IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE ARE NOT LIKELY TO BE, REMEDIED BY THE OR- DINARY OPERATIONS OF PRIVATE ENTERPRISE, AND ARE WORSENING. AS A RESULT, NO SUBSTANTIAL USE OTHER THAN AGRICULTURAL HAS BEEN OR IS BEING MADE OF THE LARGE, OPEN UNDEVELOPED AREA WHICH MAKES UP 41 PER CENT OF THE SITE. 4. THAT THE AUTHORITY DOES HEREBY FIND AND DETERMINE THAT THE PROJECT AREA IS A BLIGHTED OPEN.7AREA,AN,THAT IT IS AN AREA WHICH IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE SAFETY, HEALTH, MORALS, WELFARE AND SOUND GROWTH OF THE COMMUNITY AND IS UNDULY COSTLY TO DEVELOP SOUNDLY THROUGH THE ORDINARY OPERATIONS OF PRIVATE ENTERPRISE BECAUSE OF ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS AND CONDITIONS: TO WIT, BECAUSE OF THE EXISTANCE OF.UNSUITABLE SOIL , AND OTHER PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, THE NECESSITY OF UNDULY EXPENSIVE FOUNDATIONS AND RETAINING WALLS, UDULY EXPENSIVE MEASURES FOR WATERPROOFING STRUCTURES AND/6R FOR DRAINING THE AREA, AND BY REASON OF OBSOLETE AND INAPPROPRIATE SUBDIVISION, INADE- QUACY OF SANITARY SEWER FACILITIES, AND INADEQUACY OF TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES. 5. THAT, MORE PARTICULARLY, THE AUTHORITY DOES HEREBY FIND AND DETERMINE AS FOLLOWS-, A. THAT POOR AND UNSUITABLE SOIL CONDITIONS AND HIGH GROUND WATER TABLE IMPOSE UNDULY EXPENSIVE COSTS IN ORDER TO INSTALL FOUNDATIONS AND RETAINING WALLS, OR TO COMPLETELY UNDERDRAIN THE AREA TO LOWER.THE GROUND WATER LEVEL SO THAT CONVENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION METHODS CAN BE UTILIZED. EXHIBIT IX B. C. D. E. THAT THE LAND USE, UTILITY AND TRAFFIC CIRCULATION PROBLEMS ARE TYPICAL OF THE OBSOLESCENCE WHICH IS AN ALMOST INEVITABLE RESULT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF MARGINAL LAND OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS, NOT BY COORDINATION WITH A LOCALLY CONCEIVED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE SOUND GROWTH OF THE SURROUNDING COM- MUNITY AS A WHOLE, BUT RATHER ACCORDING TO CHANCE . THEREFORE, NEITHER DESIGN NOR OTHER PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, CULTURAL OR ECONOMIC FACILITIES, NOR THE PATTERNS OF LAND USE OR TRAFFIC CIRCULATION WITHIN THE PROJECT AREA ARE NOW RESPONSIVE TO CONTEMPORARY COMMUNITY NEEDS OR PROPER COMPREHENSIVE COM- MUNITY GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. THE PROJECT AREA WOULD NOT, BY PRIVATE ENTERPRISE ALONE, AND WITHOUT THE AID SOUGHT FROM THE COMMONWEALTH, BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVEL- OPMENT - - LACKING SUCH ACTION, AND WITHOUT ANY ECONOMICAL MEANS OF COR- RECTING THESE PROBLEMS, THE BLIGHTING CONDITIONS WOULD WORSEN, AND THE CITY WOULD BE DEPRIVED OF ONE OF ITS FINEST AREAS FOR POTENTIAL INDUSTRIAL GROWTH. THE PROJECT IS INELIGIBLE FOR FEDERAL CAPITAL GRANT ASSISTANCE UNDER TITLE I OF THE FEDERAL HOUSING ACT OF 1949, AS AMENDED. THE PROJECT AREA IS NOT PREDOMINANTLY RESIDENTIAL IN CHARACTER, AND IS IN FACT, TO BE CONSIDERED TTOPEN LANDTT BASED ON THE DEFINITION OF SAME IN THE URBAN RENEWAL MANUAL. THE PROJECT AREA IS TO BE REDEVELOPED FOR PREDOMINANTLY INDUSTRIAL REUSE. THE RED.EV,ELOP.ME.NT PLAN SUBMITTED UNDER CODE NO. 303 PROPOSED PREDOM-- INANTLY INDUSTRIAL RE-USE IN THE PROJECT AREA.

NORTHAMPTON INDUSTRIAL PARK NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CODE NO. 303 I. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AREA BOUNDARIES Beginning at the intersection of the south right-of-way line of Damon Road with the west right-of-way of I-9I; thence in a southeasterly direction along the west right-of-way line of I-9I, 3,260 feet more or less to the intersection of the west right-ow-way line of I-9I with the north right- of-way line of a branch of the Boston and Maine Railroad; thence in a southwesterly direction along the north right-of-way line of a branch of the Boston and Maine Railroad 2,196 feet more or less to its intersection with the east right-of-way line of the main line of the Boston and Maine Railroad; thence in a northerly direction along the east right-of-way of the main line of the Boston and Maine Railroad 3,351 feet more or less.. to the intersection of the south right-of-way line of Damon Road; thence in an easterly direction along the south right-of-way line of Damon Road 522 feet more or less to the point of beginning, containing one hundred eight (108) acres more or less. EXHIBIT VIII NORTHAMPTON INDUSTRIAL PARK NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS 303-3 I 0 REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CODE NO. 303 II. PROJECT PROVISIONS A. OBJECTIVES OF THE PLAN U 1. To provide for the elimination of a decadent and blighted open area existing in the City of Northampton which is injurious and inimical to the safety, health, morals, and welfare of the residents of the City. 2. To remove all functionally obsolescent buildings, and to provide adequate utilities services to those that will remain. 3. To redevelop the area into a long-term stable environment, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the growth of the locality as a whole. 4. To enhance the economic climate of the City of Northampton by providing land within the City limits for industrial development. 5. To provide land not only to attract new industrial development, but to meet the needs of existing industries for expansion within the City. 6. To permit industrial use of one of the few desirable parcels of any size within the City limits as noted in the Comprehensive Plan. 7. To extend sanitary sewer mains into the Bradford Street area offering an opportunity for existing residences on that street to connect into the line and correct a condition which has for years been cited as a health hazard by the Board of Health. 8. To utilize State financial assistance in order to assure the development of this area for its highest and best use, since all evidence indicates that private initiative and capital cannot accomplish it. 1 NORTHAMPTON INDUSTRIAL PARK ~J NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS 303-4 REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CODE NO. 303 1 B. APPLICABILITY OF LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES The redevelopment of all parcels will be subject to all codes, by- laws, and regulations applicable to the City of Northampton and the provisions herein, and, in case of conflict, the provisions which are more restrictive shall govern. I. Zoning The Present Zoning ordinance, adopted on February 14, 1949, has had numerous amendments since that date, and currently indicates all of the project area zoned "Industrial". (Exhibit III) 2. Subdivision Regulations The existing Subdivision Regulations were adopted on February 25, 1954 and have been revised several times since that date (see Exhibit IV). The present regulations are deemed to be adequate for the purpose of this plan, although in general they will probably not be applicable, since a provision of the Plan will prohibit the re-subdivision of any lots shown on the Plan. C. LAND USE PROPOSALS 1. Land Uses Within the project area, proposed land uses are to be industrial for all property: except those parcels not to be acquired, consisting of residences on Bradford Street. The means of preserving these uses will be through appropriate deed restrictions (see 303-II-F). In addition, provision will be made to separate these uses by means of an adequately landscaped buffer strip to be maintained on the industrial property along the common boundary between the two uses. This buffer strip will be constructed as part of the Project Improvements Program so as to provide immediate protection for adjacent residential properties. (See Map No. 2) NORTHAMPTON INDUSTRIAL PARK NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS 303-5 REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CODE NO. 303 2. Rights-of-Way Within the project area the following right-of-way changes are proposed: Damon Road - Widen right-of-way to 90' by adding additional land along south side. Bates Street - Abandon Bates Street from Damon -Road to Bradford Street - No change from Bradford Street south. Bradford Street - No change. New Street - Damon Road south to a traffic circle - 60' right- of-way, extension from circle south to intersection of Bates and Bradford Streets - 50' right-of-way. Right-of-way for services and utilities - A 50' right-of-way is proposed along the entire northeastern boundary of the project from Damon Road southerly adjacent to I-91 for the purpose of future utilities (especially electric) there is no cost involved, the right-of-way will appear in the deeds to appropriate disposition parcels (see Map No. 6). D. DEVELOPMENT CONTROLS APPLICABLE TO ALL PARCELS 1. The adoption of proposed regulatory controls for properties within the project area is based on the following considerations: (A) The controls must be sufficiently rigid to ensure that the development and operation of the project properties will enhance land values in the area and serve to attract and retain the highest quality of industrial development while at the same time not adversely affecting the continued value or use of residential properties to the south. (B) The controls must not be so stringent, however, that they make it impossible to dispose of parcels in the project area. (C) The controls must not unduly burden the owners of the properties as compared to other owners of similar property in the City. NORTHAMPTON INDUSTRIAL PARK NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS 303-6 REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CODE NO. 303 2. All property within the boundaries of this Redevelopment Project shall first of all be subject to the applicable controls of the Subdivision Regulations, Building Code and Sanitary Code of the City of Northampton as well as the Zoning ordinance and such other ordinances and regulations as may be pertinent to this area and type of development. 3. The Authority will obligate the purchasee(s) or leasee(s) or parcel(s) in the project, and their successors and assigns, to the conditions set forth herein for all parcels and will provide for enforcement of those conditions by the authority in the event of default. It is the intent of this plan that such controls wherever possible, will be incorporated as deed restrictions in the individual deeds for each parcel. 4. The sale of any disposal parcel within this project shall be contingent upon approval by the authority of a site plan and preliminary architectural renderings, which shall then be recorded in the Office of the City Clerk, and application made for a Building Permit. 5. No parcel shall be used or occupied so as to create a hazardous, insanitary or objectionable condition affecting adjacent properties, whether by smoke, fire, explosion, loud noise, excessive light or otherwise. 6. All permitted uses, functions, and services shall be conducted entirely within buildings of permanent construction except as otherwise provided herein. Except for parking, loading, open space, and minor accessory uses related to the principal use, which minor accessory use shall be screened as hereinafter provided.

THEREFORE, THE ONLY PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A S* WIDE CONCRETE SIDEWALK ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF DAMON ROAD. BATES STREET BATES STREET BETWEEN DAMON ROAD AND BRADFORD STREET IS NOT CONSIDERED ADEQUATE TO SERVE THIS PROJECT. IT IS NARROW (181- 20, WIDTH) AND FOR MUCH OF ITS LENGTH RUNS ALONG THE EASTERN BOUNDARY OF THE PROJECT, OFFERING THE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR DEV- ELOPMENT ALONG ONLY ONE SIDE. IT IS THEREFOR PROPOSED TO A- BANDON THIS SECTION OF BATES STREET TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW STREET. FROM BRADFORD STREET SOUTH, BATES STREET IS NOT CONSIDERED PART OF THE PROJECTS ROAD NET (FOR INDUSTRIAL USE) AND NO CHANGES OR IMPROVEMENTS ARE PROPOSED FOR THIS SECTION. BRADFORD STREET BRADFORD STREET SERVICES THOSE PROPERTIES IN THE EXTREME SOUTH WEST CORNER OF THE PROJECT AREA DESIGNATED ITNOT TO BE ACQUIRED" WHICH CONSIST OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES. THE STREET IS CON- SIDERED ADEQUATE FOR THIS PURPOSE, AND SINCE IT WILL CARRY NO IN- DUSTRIAL TRAFFIC, NO IMPROVEMENTS ARE PROPOSED. NEW STREET (INDUSTRIAL DRIVE) A NEW STREET TO REPLACE BATES WILL RUN THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE PROJECT FROM DAMON ROAD SOUTH TO A NEW CIRCLE JUST NORTH NORTHAMPTON INDUSTRIAL PARK NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS 307-I0 I(_ , PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS REPORT CODE No. 307 OF BRADFORD. THIS ROAD WILL PROVIDE PRIMARY ACCESS TO THE INDUSTRIAL PARK, AND IS PROPOSED TO HAVE A 60' RIGHT-OF-WAY AND 301 PAVING WITH CURB, AND Sr CONCRETE SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES. FROM THE SOUTH SIDE OF THIS NEW CIRCLE WILL BE CON- CONSTRUCTED A 50' ROAD WITH 24, PAVING BUT NO SIDEWALKS) EXTENDING SOUTH TO BATES STREET AT BRADFORD. THIS RELO- CATED PORTION OF BATES STREET WILL SERVE TO PROVIDE ACCESS INTO THE INDUSTRIAL PARK FOR WORKERS WHO MIGHT LIVE IN RESIDEN- TIAL AREAS SOUTH dF THE PROJECT AREA. IT WILL BE RESTRICTED TO RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC ONLY. (B) JUSTIFICATION AND ELIGIBILITY OF STREET IMPROVEMENTS ACTIVITIES DAMON ROAD DAMON ROAD IS A BOUNDARY STREET, AND THE ONLY IMPROVEMENT PROPOSED IS A SIDEWALK ON THE PROJECT SIDE OF THE STREET. ALTHOUGH THE SIDEWALK ITSELF'WOULD BE WHOLLY WITHIN THE PROJECT, AND WOULD,PROBABLY SERVE PREDOMINENTLY THE PRO- JECT AREA, BECAUSE'THIS IS A BOUNDARY STREET THE COST IS 50 PER CENT ELIGIBLE. BATES STREET SEE SITE CLEARANCE SECTION BRADFORD STREET NOT APPLICABLE NEW STREET (INDUSTRIAL DRIVE THIS NEW STREET IS WHOLLY WITHIN THE PROJECT AREA, AND IS DESIGNED TO SERVE THE INDUSTRIAL LAND EXCLUSIVELY' EXCEPT FOR LIMITED USE BY RESIDEN15ON BRADFORD STREET FOR ACCESS OUT TO KING STREET AND NORTH). FOR THESE REASONS, IT IS CONSIDERED THAT THIS NEW STREET AND THE SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES WILL BE 100 PER CENT ELIGIBLE. (C) COSTS OF STREET IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES FOR COST DATA ON STREET IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES SEE EXHIBIT XX "rPROJECT IMPROVEMENTS COST DATA SHEET'' AT THE END OF THIS CODE.' NORTHAMPTON INDUSTRIAL PARK NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS 307-11 PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS REPORT 2. SANITARY SEWERS CODE No. 307 (A) IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION OF SANITARY SEWERS IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES. AS PART OF THIS PROJECT IT IS PROPOSED TO CONSTRUCT A SANITARY SEWER LINE ALONG THE NEW STREET PROVIDING SEWER SERVICES TO EVERY INDUSTRIAL PARCEL, WITH BRANCH LINES ALONG BRADFORD STREET TO PERMIT CONNECTION OF ALL RESIDENCES DESIGNATED "NOT TO BE ACQUIRED". CONNECTION TO THIS LINE WILL BE A CONDITION TO BE IMPOSED ON PROPERTIES TO REMAIN (SEE CODE NO. 303-II-F). FOR SIZE OF SEWER LINES AND LOCATION OF LINES AND MANHOLES, SEE MAP NO. 7,FOR DETAILS OF SEWER AND MANHOLE CONSTRUCTION, SEE MAP No. 9. IN ACCORDANCE WITH RECOMMENDATIONS OF A "MASTER PLAN OF SAN- ITARY SEWERS-FOR THE CITY OF NORTHAMPTON" BY MORGENROTH AS- SOCIATES: IN 1958, '_'HE SEWER LINE WILL INCLUDE PROVISION FOR A PARALLEL UNDERDRAIN TO LOWER THE GROUND WATER TABLE IN THIS AREA, AND FOR A PUMPING STATION LOCATED IN THE VICINITY OF THE INTERSECTION OF MILL YARD ROAD WITH THE SMALL BROOK THAT DRAINS THIS AREA. THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF FLOW WILL BE SOUTH, TO TIE INTO EXISTING TRUNK SEWERS IN PARSON STREET OR NORTH STREET. (B) JUSTIFICATION AND ELIGIBILITY OF SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES. WITHOUT THIS SANITARY SEWER LINE NO DEVELOPMENT OF THIS AREA WOULD BE POSSIBLE, SINCE THE SOIL CONDITION PR.ECLUD99_O:N=SITE DISPOSAL (WHICH WOULD BE UNSUITABLE IN ANY CASE FOR AN INDUST +IAL PARK_ IN ADDITION, THE UNDERDRAIN PROVISION OF THE SEWER DE- SIGN WILL IMPROVE SOIL CONDITIONS BY LOWERING THE GROUND WATER TABLE, AND REDUCE FOUNDATION COSTS. SINCE THESE SEWER LINES SERVE ONLY THE PROJECT AREA, EVEN THOUGH THEY MUST BE CAR- RIED BEYOND THE PROJECT BOUNDARY APPROXIMATELY 1800' TO TIE INTO AN EXISTING MAIN IN NORTH STREET, THEY ARE CONSIDERED TO BE 100 PER CENT ELIGIBLE.

THE ORIGINAL L. P.A. ESTIMATES WERE BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT 75 ACRES OF LAND WOULD BE SOLD AT AN AVERAGE PRICE OF $6,600jACRE OR $500,000. THE DISPOSITION APPRAISAL IS BASED UPON A PROFESSIONAL APPRAISAL STUDY AND EVALUATES THE DISPOSAL PARCELS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS CONSIDERING FACTORS LIKELY TO INFLUENCE THE PRICE, AND ESTABLISHING PRICES OF $4,000 AND $5,000 PER ACRE BASED ON COMPARABLE SALES, 11. PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS BY DEVELOPER (S) THERE ARE NO PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS PROPOSED TO BE CONSTRUCTED BY THE DEVELOPER (S). HOWEVER, DEVELOPER (S) WILL BE REQUIRED TO CONSTRUCT ALL IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE INDIVIDUAL DISPOSITION PARCELS WHICH ARE NECESSARY FOR THE PROPER FUNCTIONING AND SOUND REDEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT AREA INCLUDING: INTERNAL ACCESS ROADS AND PARKING AREAS; SE- WER AND WATER SERVICE CONNECTIONS FROM BUILDINGS TO THE MAIN LINES LOCATED IN THE PUBLIC STREET; INTERNAL DRAINAGE FACILITIES AS REQUIRED TO PROPERLY DRAIN PARKING AREAS AND OTHER,,PARTS OF THE SITE; LANDSCAPING AND FINE GRADING, ADEQUATE LIGHTING IN PARKING AND LOADING AREAS AND OTHER PARTS OF THE SITE, AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE DISPOSITION PARCELS, IT IS EXPECTED THAT ANY REDEVELOPER (S) WHO PROPOSES TO TEMPORARILY USE ANY, EXISTING BUILDING (S) WHILE NEW CONSTRUCTION IS UNDERWAY, WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUBSEQUENT DEMOLITION OF THE USED BUILDING (S), III.

IT IS NOT PROPOSED FOR DEMOLITION BECAUSE IT CONFORMS TO THE USES PROVIDED FOR IN THE PROJECT, AND APPARENTLY HAS BEEN WELL MAIN- TAINED. IN DETERMINING THAT THIS BUILDING SHOULD NOT BE CLEARED, MANY FACTORS WERE CONSIDERED. IT IS ONE OF THE NEWEST STRUCTURES IN THE PROJECT AREA, AND IS LOCATED WITH EXCELLENT ACCESS AT THE INTERSECTION OF DAMON ROAD AND INDUSTRIAL DRIVE. IN ADDITION, IT IS THE ONLY ALL- MASO RY BUILDING IN THE PROJECT AREA, ITS.

This site will remain as the property of the Bak Tire Company. It is our opinion that the retention of this site and its continued operation by the tire company will not constitute an adverse effect upon the marketability of the remaining sites within the Northampton Industrial Park.
