Meeting Summary
ATTENDEES: David Pomerantz, Northampton Zach Chornyak, Tighe & Bond
Wayne Feiden, Northampton Alex Fagnand, Tighe & Bond
LOCATION: Microsoft Teams
DATE: August 25, 2020
On August 25 at 11:00 AM, a virtual meeting was held to discuss the Roundhouse Lot
project and restart the design and permitting processes. A summary of the main discussion
points follows. A plan sheet with additional design notes is enclosed for reference.
1. Land acquisition process update [Wayne]
a. The City has closed on Parcels “C” and “D” and is nearing a closing on Parcel
“B.” Parcel “A”, the housing authority Parcel, is not being pursued at this
time.
b. Parallel to the acquisition processes, the lawyers are working on the site
documentation related to the 21E status and overall process with Columbia
Gas’s successors
2. Review of current scope of work
a. The current drawings for the Roundhouse Lot show repaving of the existing
lot, widening of the lot in the former Mill River area, and restriping the lot.
The solar canopy has been eliminated from the project.
b. Coordination will need to occur regarding dumpster use for the Roundhouse
building and the adjacent apartments.
c. We need to remain considerate of a future rear access for a small commercial
development off Old South Street/Clark Avenue.
d. Plowing will occur with minor amount of snow being pushed southerly toward
the bike path (similar to existing). Larger events will likely require removal
by trucking.
e. Remain cognizant of AUL conditions and potential for LSP services if any work
is done at depth.
f. Roundhouse building currently vacant, but City to confirm if existing parking
agreement is in perpetuity by deed.
g. Additional design notes are on the enclosed plan sheet.
3. Permitting Pathway
a. The project will require a site plan review with the Northampton Planning
Board. The Planning Department will research whether this will be an
amendment to an existing plan or a new application.
SUMMARY Tighe&Bond
-2-
b. Summary of zoning requirements for this project:
i. Minimum Parking Stall Dimensions: 8.5’ Wide x 18’ Deep
ii. Minimum Drive Aisle: 18’ Wide
iii. Minimum Landscaped/Planting Strip of 6-feet required between rows
iv. Minimum placement of 1 shade tree for every 15 parking spaces
1. 220 spaces will require a minimum of 15 trees
2. Trees will need to be tolerant of the contamination
3. Tree warden prefers a larger number of smaller trees in these
applications
c. Stormwater Permit from DPW (greater than 1 acre of disturbance)
i. Traditional measures such as infiltration and subsurface detention are
not practical or allowed due to the presence of subsurface
contamination.
ii. Installation of a Stormwater Treatment Unit could also be problematic
due to the depth of the installation.
iii. Consider development of lined swales with an underdrain in the 6-foot
planting areas to capture runoff and provide some attenuation and
treatment.
4. Action Items
a. Tighe & Bond
i. We will review the potential stormwater design implications, and the
overall construction budget and follow up with Central Services.
ii. We will review the AUL depth and follow up on potential LSP needs.
b. City of Northampton
i. Wayne to confirm Site Plan Review and whether this is an amendment
to an existing plan.
ii. Wayne to confirm if Roundhouse Building parking agreement transfers
with sale or not.
iii. Wayne to work with Roundhouse Building and apartment owner on
parameters of new dumpster agreement.
5. Schedule – Permitting later this fall/winter with potential for bid and construction in
Spring 2021.
