At a meeting conducted on August 8, 1996, the Northampton
Planning Board unanimously voted 6:0 to grant the request of Gary
Warner for a SPECIAL PERMIT with Site Plan Approval under the
provisions of Section 6.13, 10.10 and 10.11 in the Northampton
Zoning Ordinance, to create a flag lot located between #400 and
#408 on North Farms Road, in accordance with the plans and
information submitted.
Planning Board Members present and voting were: Chair Andrew
Crystal, Jody Blatt, Nancy Duseau, Kenneth Jodrie, Mark NeJame,
and Anne Romano.
In Granting the Special Permit with Site Plan Approval for a flag
lot, the Planning Board found:
A. The requested use for a flag lot protects adjoining premises
against seriously detrimental uses because it is a
residential use of a property in a Rural Residential zoning
district.
B. The requested use will promote the convenience and safety of
vehicular and pedestrian movement within the site and on
adjacent streets and minimize traffic impacts on the streets
and roads in the area because it will generate minimal
additional traffic and utilize an existing curb cut.
ORIGINAL PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
C. 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
because it will be in keeping with the residential character
of the neighborhood.
D. The requested use will not overload the City's resources
because it calls for the addition of only one residential
dwelling. Therefore, there is no need to mitigate adverse
impacts.
E. The requested use meets all special regulations set forth in
the Zoning ordinance under Section 6.13 and section 10.11.
(See Attachments A and B)
F. The requested use bears a positive relationship to the
public convenience or welfare because it provides additional
housing.
The use will not unduly impair the integrity or character of
the district or adjoining zones because the proposed use is
residential, and the property is located in a district zoned
Rural Residential.
The use will not be detrimental to the health, morals, or
general welfare and shall be in harmony with the general
purpose and intent of the Ordinance.
G. The requested use will promote City planning objectives to
the extent possible and will not adversely affect those
objectives, as defined in City master or study plans adopted
under M.G.L. Chapter 41, Section 81 -C and D.
In granting the Special Permit with site Plan Approval for a flag
lot, the Planning Board imposed conditions upon the project as
follows:
1) An Approval Not Required (ANR) Plan must be submitted to
the Office of Planning & Development, signed by the Planning
Board and recorded at the Hampshire County Registry of
Deeds. It must include the statement, "Lot 12 is a Flag Lot:
Building is permitted only in accordance with the special
Flag Lot Provisions of the Northampton Zoning Ordinance;"
2) Prior to construction, a plan showing that all setback
requirements have been met must be submitted to the Building
Inspector;
3) The grade, length and location of access driveways shall
be of suitable construction, in the opinion of the Planning
Board, for the access and, where applicable, the turn - around
for vehicles, including moving vans, ambulances, fire and
police. Said driveways shall conform to all applicable
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
ATTACHMENT A
Section 6.13 Flag Lots. In reviewing the application for a
Special Permit to create a flag lot, the Planning Board found the
following:
1. The lot met the requirements of the Table of Dimensional and
Density Regulations, Section 6.2.
2. The access roadway has no curve with a radius of less than
eighty (80) feet.
3. The lot is laid out such that a circle with a diameter one
and one -half (1 1/2) times the required frontage can be
placed around the principal structure without any portion of
said circle falling outside of the property's line.
4. Only one flag lot is being created, and an existing curb -cut
and drive located on the property will be used, so no
easement is necessary.
5. The grade, length and location of access driveways shall be
of suitable construction, in the opinion of the Planning
Board, for the access and, where applicable, the turn - around
for vehicles, including moving vans, ambulances, fire and
police. Said driveways shall conform to all applicable
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
6. Approval Not Required Plans submitted to the Planning Board
shall include the statement "Lot 12 is a Flag Lot: Building
is Permitted Only in Accordance with the Special Flag Lot
Provisions of the Northampton Zoning ordinance."
