NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
Amend 2008 PB permit.
HARDSHIP:
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
1)No site work outside the driveway project limits as shown on the plan shall begin until a stormwater
permit has been issued by Department of Public Works.
2). Because the Planning Board granted a request to approve a wider curb cut without being able to
fully review the site plan relative to the required approval criteria in 11.6, prior to commencement of
construction of the curb cut or signal, the applicant must apply for and receive site plan approval from
the Planning Board for any proposed use. The site plan application must show cross-access or
easement areas for vehicle traffic to flow from abutting properties to the signal. The application shall
also show proposed pedestrian easements across property boundaries and conform to all aspects of
the zoning.
3. Prior to issuance of a building permit the applicant shall submit to the Planning Board for review a
copy of a draft cross-access agreement for the abutters of both 347 and 303 King St to cross, via
vehicular or non-vehicular means, the subject parcel. This easement may exclude commercial
vehicles used primarily to support industrial uses, such as cement trucks and chemical trucks. The
purpose of this easement is to comply with the Northampton Zoning Ordinance as specified in the
permit herein allowing a wider curb cut and traffic signal installation. The applicant shall only be
responsible for granting access across the property to each of the stated abutters at such a time that
reciprocal access is granted to the applicant by that abutter. If one or both abutters do not agree to a
cross access agreement at the time of the request for a building permit, the applicant must submit
proof of such to the planning board.
4. Prior to issuance of a building permit and upon approval by the Planning Board, the applicant shall
fully execute and record the cross access agreements.
5.The mast arm and signal shall not be installed until Department of Public Works is satisfied that the
warrants can be met with an actual proposed use.
6. Catch basins shall be relocated to the radius of the curves of the newly created intersection.
7. Scored concrete or a cobble landing shall be installed between the driveway egress/ingress leading
to the site for pedestrian safety.
8. The proposed signal must be electronically connected and coordinated with the Barret St. signal. If

the controller at Barret Street must be replaced to accomplish this, the applicant shall be responsible
for this replacement and the replacement must include a pedestrian phase.
9. The new paint lines on King Street shall match existing paint lines that demark 11’ wide travel lanes.
FINDINGS:
The Planning Board approved the request to eliminate the special permit language drafted in the original condition #2 based upon request
and submittal by the applicant. The Board clarified condition #2 and hereby incorporates a new condition #2 to be attached to the
amended decision. This new ammendment includes the original conditions as well.
