NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
Use of fields for Soccer Club
HARDSHIP:
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
1)The permit is valid for three months, effective for the Spring 2011 season only.
2). The applicant may only schedule games at the fields and no practices.
3). The maximum number of games allowed will be 30 or half of the previous season's games.
4). The applicant shall submit a schedule of games to OPD and also make the schedule available to
the neighborhood.
FINDINGS:
The Planning Board granted the special permit for soccer for the Spring 2011 season only based upon the information submitted with the
application.
The Board found the following criteria in section 10 had been met:
(1) The requested use protects adjoining premises against seriously detrimental uses. Limited use of soccer for games only and not
practices would reduce the traffic impacts on the surrounding neighborhood.
(2) The requested use will promote the convenience and safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement within the site and on adjacent
streets, minimize traffic impacts on the streets and roads in the area. The permanent speed board helps drivers monitor speeds.
Reduced game schedule minimizes total volume; and
(3) The requested use will promote a harmonious relationship of structures and open spaces to the natural landscape, existing buildings
and other community assets in the area; and
(4) The requested use will not overload, and will mitigate adverse impacts on, the City's resources including the effect on the City's water
supply and distribution system, sanitary and storm sewage collection and treatment systems, fire protection, streets and schools; and
(5) The requested use meets any special regulations set forth in this chapter (none applicable; and
(6) The requested use bears a positive relationship to the public convenience or welfare. The use will not unduly impair the integrity of
character of the district or adjoining zones, nor be detrimental to the health, morals, or general welfare. The use shall be in harmony with
the general purpose and intent of the ordinance; and
(7) If applicable, the requested use will promote City planning objectives to the extent possible and will not adversely effect those
objectives, as defined in City master or study plans adopted under MGL c. 41, § 81C and 81D.

Dear Tim,
I have reviewed your zoning permit application to allow use of the soccer fields at the Oxbow
Marina by the Northampton Soccer Club.
Use of the soccer fields can, in.my opinion, be considered as accessory to the recreational use
of the marina. The City of Northampton Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 350, §5.3 states "any use which is
accessory to a principal use allowed by special permit, and which is not specifically included in the
original special permit, shall be allowed only after issuance of a new special permit ".Soccer or other
related sports activities were not specifically included in the . variance granted in 1975 allowing the
construction and operation of the marina.
It is my determination that use of the marina facilities for soccer requires a special permit from
the Northampton Planning Board.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Respectfully,
Louis�Hasbrouck
