dated 4/27/06, revised plans and calculations dated l 0/ 17/2006 and as amended by the
above referenced plans and information and as amended by conditions attached to this
permit amendment.
Specific Permit Conditions:
1. The Lia Kia Site Plan must be revised to reflect the approved As-Built Plan: Lia Honda:
Additional Parking As-Built Plan, Sheet 1, dated 8/ 13/2009, stamped by Mark A.
McClusky, P.E., Huntley Associates, P.C.
2. Based on the Lia Honda: Additional Parking As-Built Plan, Sheet 1, dated 8/13/2009,
stamped by Mark A. McClusky, P.E., Huntley Associates, P.C., the south swale, east
swalc, and final grading of the paved areas were not constructed according to the
approved plans. Also, through inspection of the site by the DPW, it was discovered that
the landscape islands were constructed with a crushed stone surface, instead of grass as
specified in the approved drainage calculations. A letter and drainage calculations were
submitted to the DPW on 9/9/2009 and 9/10/2009 by Mark McClusky, P.E. stating that
·'the overall stormwater management system for the Lia Honda Additional Parking area
was constructed according to the original design plan (with field adjustments), and more
importantly that post construction peak flows are less than original pre-construction
conditions peak flows." The drainage calculations that were submitted on 9/10/2009 are
not consistent with the As-Built Plan and therefore do not verify that the existing
stormwater management system is functioning according lo the approved design to meet
the requirements of the Northampton Stormwater Management Ordinance. Prior to
issuance of a Building Permit for the proposed Lia Kia Showroom, the applicant shall
submit drainage calculations of the stormwater system for the 2, 10, and 100 year design
storm based on existing conditions of the site including actual inverts, actual volume of
the east and south swales, and actual finish material in the islands. These drainage
calculations shall be reviewed to the satisfaction or the DPW. If peak drainage flows for
existing conditions are found to be increased to the 1 T private drain line or overall in
comparison to the pre-construction peak llows, the applicant shall propose solutions to
bring the drainage system into compliance with the Northampton Stormwater
Management Ordinance. Final design and specifications of the stormwater management
system and proposed development shall be approved by the DPW.
3. Lia Kia and Lia Honda must comply with aJI future operation, maintenance, inspection,
and reporting requirements of the approved stormwater management systems or face
notice(s) of violation and fines r non-compliance.
