FINDINGS: The Planning Board based its decision to grant the site plan on the request for site plan approval based on the following information submitted and as revised at the hearing: 1. 94 Industrial Drive Spaces for Rent New Storage Buildings 9 and 10, prepared by Heritage Surveys, Inc. Dated September 29, 2011 with final revision date of December 7, 2011. Sheets 1-5. 2. Revised Drainage Calculations New Storage Buildings 9 and 10 Spaces For Rent, Prepared by Heritage Surveys, Inc. dated September 29, 2011 with final revision date of December 7, 2011. 3. Supplemental Information and Memo from Heritage Surveys to City of Northampton Conservation Commission dated November 18, 2011. In granting the major site plan, the Board found that: A. The requested use protects adjoining premises against seriously detrimental uses and B. 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. If applicable, this shall include considering the location of driveway openings in relation to traffic and adjacent streets, access by public safety vehicles, the arrangement of parking and loading spaces, and provisions for persons with disabilities; and: (2) The project, including any concurrent road improvements, will not decrease the level of service (LOS) of all area City and state roads or intersections affected by the project below the existing conditions when the project is proposed.

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 D. 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. The construction materials and methods for water lines, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, fire protection, sidewalks, private roads, and other infrastructure shall be those set forth in the Northampton Subdivision Regulations E. The requested use meets any special regulations set forth in this chapter. F. Compliance with the following technical performance standards: (1) Curb cuts onto streets shall be minimized. Access to businesses shall use common driveways, existing side streets, or loop service roads shared by adjacent lots when possible. More than one curb cut shall be permitted only when necessary to minimize traffic and safety impacts. (2) Pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular traffic movement on site must be separated, to the extent possible, and sidewalks must be provided between businesses within a development. (3) Major projects, except in the Central Business District, must be designed so there is no increase in peak flows from the one- or two- and ten-year Soil Conservation Service design storm from predevelopment conditions (the condition at the time a site plan approval is requested) and so that the runoff from a four- to ten-inch rain storm (first flush) is detained on site for an average of six hours. These requirements shall not apply if the project will discharge into a City storm drain system that the Planning Board finds can accommodate the expected discharge with no adverse impacts. In addition, catch basins shall incorporate sumps of a minimum of three feet and, if they will remain privately owned, a gas trap.
