At a meeting conducted on September 26, 1996, the Northampton
Planning Board unanimously voted 6:0 to grant the request of
Robert A. Borawski to amend a SPECIAL PERMIT with Site Plan
Approval dated October 27, 1994 under the provisions of Section
6.12, 10.10 and 10.11 in the Northampton zooning� ord inance, and
create a common driveway to serve Lots 7,
Kennedy Roads in accordance with the following plan:
1. "Special Permit Plan of Land in Northampton, MA,
Hampshire Co.: Plan and Road Profile," Prepared for
Robert A. Borawski by The Berkshire Design Group, Inc.,
dated August 12, 1996.
2. "Proposed Easement Alteration in NORTHAMPTON (Hampshire
Co.), MA Prepared for ROBERT A. BORAWSKI," by Ainsworth
Associates, Inc. dated July 3, 1996.
Planning Board Members present and voting were: Vice Chair
Daniel J. Yacuzzo, Jody Blatt, Nancy Duseau, Mark NeJame, Anne
Romano and Associate Member Paul Diemand.
In Granting the Amendment to the Special Permit with Site Plan
Approval for a common driveway, the Planning Board found:
A. The requested use protects adjoining premises against
seriously detrimental uses because the Table of Use
Regulations allow common driveways by Special Permit in all
ORIGINAL PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
zoning districts.
--4
B. The requested use will not create undue traffic congestion
or unduly impair pedestrian safety because less traffic
congestion will occur at the intersection with public roads
with shared driveways than would occur with multiple
driveways.
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 serve three residences in keeping with the
residential character of the neighborhood.
D. The requested use will not overload any public water,
drainage or sewer system, or any other municipal system to
such an extent that the requested use or any developed use
in the immediate area or in any other area of the City will
be unduly subject to hazards affecting health, safety, or
the general welfare, because a driveway will not affect any
municipal system.
E. The requested use meets all special regulations set forth in
the Zoning Ordinance, specifically Section 6.12 and Section
10.11. (See Attachments A and B)
F. The requested use bears a positive relationship to public
convenience or welfare because a common driveway requires
fewer curb cuts onto public streets which will service more
residences.
The use will not unduly impair the integrity of character of
the district or adjoining zones, will not be detrimental to
the health, morals, or general welfare, and is in harmony
with the general purpose and intent of the Ordinance,
because a common driveway reduces the amount of pavement and
the number of curb cuts onto city streets and maintains the
rural character of the district.
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
common driveway, the Planning Board imposed conditions upon the
project as follows:
1. All work shall comply with the plans entitled:
"Special Permit Plan of Land in Northampton, MA,
Hampshire Co.: Plan and Road Profile," Prepared for
Robert A. Borawski by The Berkshire Design Group, Inc.,

from Audubon Road only.
4. Easements, as necessary, shall be placed on the deeds
to the lots serviced by the common driveways, granting

recorded at the Registry of Deeds, prior to the
issuance of a curb cut /driveway permit.
5. An easement as shown on, Proposed Easement Alteration
in NORTHAMPTON (Hampshire Co.), MA Prepared for ROBERT
A. BORAWSKI," by Ainsworth Associates, Inc. dated July
3, 1996, shall be prepared for filing and recording at
the Registry of Deeds.
6. The following restrictions shall be placed on the deeds
to the subject lots serviced by a common driveway:
a. No additional vehicular access shall be granted /or
allowed to lots served by the Common driveways
from other than the common driveways approved by

not a City way. The maintenance, operation and
repair, reconstruction (including snow plowing and
snow /ice removal) is the responsibility and
liability of the property owners;
C. The common driveway shall be constructed and
maintained with a surface of gravel /trap rock and
shall not be constructed with an impervious cover,
unless so ordered by the Department of Public

7. All municipal utilities to service the lots shall be
placed within the common driveway easement and
appropriate utility easements shall be placed on the
deeds to the subject properties.
8. All such deed easements, restrictions and plans must be

9. Prior to the issuance of a Building Occupancy Permit,
the developer shall submit, to the Building
Commissioner, a certified statement from the project
engineer, that the driveway was constructed in general
conformance with the plans approved with this Special
Permit.
10. In order to prevent the Common Driveway permit from
becoming invalid, the common driveway shall be
constructed as shown on approved plans within two years
of the issue date of this Special Permit. A certified
statement from the project engineer that the driveway
was constructed in general conformance with the plans
approved with this Special Permit shall be submitted to
the Office of Planning and Development prior to the
expiration date of the permit and become part of this
file, as proof that the Common driveway Special Permit
has been exercised.
il. Conveyance of one or more lots with access provided by
this common driveway to separate bonafide purchasers,
shall constitute the exercise of this Common Driveway
Special Permit for the lots serviced by that particular
common driveway, and construction of such Common
Driveway shall be permitted. However, conveyance of
more than one lot accessed by this common driveway to a
single purchaser shall not constitute the exercising of
the Common Driveway Special Permit, unless the Common
Driveway is constructed on the ground, prior to the
expiration of the Special Permit.
12. A revised plan showing passing turnouts as required by
zoning regulations shall be submitted to the Office of

drainage or sewer system, or any other municipal system to
such an extent that the requested use or any developed use
in the immediate area or in any other area of the City will

since realized that the driveway's location interferes with the use
of his fields for farming. With the new proposed layout, the first
three stations of the drive, including the section which intersects
with the road, remain unchanged. Mark Darnold of Berkshire Design
has said that the redesign poses no problems as far as topography
and flowage, Sacks said. The applicant has requested a waiver of
the requirement that the plan be of a scale of 1 to 40 since
this scale would result in too large a plan. Instead, a scale of
1 to 100' is shown.
Other information is as set forth in the application, Sacks said.
The principal findings as to the project's impact remain unchanged
from the previous approval, he added. Building locations are
unchanged.
Blatt asked if turnouts should be included because of the
driveway's length? Zoning regulations require a turnout every
three hundred feet, Kuzdeba said. Yacuzzo suggested making
approval conditional upon the applicant submitting a revised plan
which shows turnouts every three hundred feet, and Sacks indicated
this would be acceptable.
No one spoke in support of or against the application.
Blatt moved to close the public hearing. Duseau seconded the
motion. The motion passed unanimously 6:0.
Blatt moved to approve the application to amend the Special Permit
with Site Plan Approval to relocate the common driveway with the
same conditions as attached to the original Special Permit, plus
the additional condition that a revised plan be submitted showing
turnouts in accordance with zoning regulations. Duseau seconded
the motion. The motion passed unanimously 6:0.
Correspondence -
Ed Etheredge, Esq. has requested that the Planning Board waive the
$500 filing fee to amend the "Brookwood" subdivision plan and
instead allow the applicant to substitute a fee of $3 per abutter
plus a $50 application fee, Kuzdeba said. The proposed amendment
would eliminate a paper street called "Birdcliff Road" which was
never constructed. The amendment does not seek to increase the
size of the subdivision, merely to delete the road, Kuzdeba
stressed. The Planning Department favors the road's elimination
since it is a "bone of contention" with abutters in the area, she
added. With the waiver, the filing fee would be only $155.
Planning Department staff have no problem with waiving the higher
fee. The Planning Board has never received a waiver request
before, so there are no precedents to follow in granting them,
members noted.
The request to amend the subdivision plan is made by a home owner,

DECISION OF
NORTHAMPTON PLANNING BOARD
APPLICANT: ROBERT F. BORAWSKI
ADDRESS: 115 OAK STREET, NORTHAMPTON
OWNER: ROBERT A. BORAWSKI
ADDRESS: 170 AUDUBON ROAD, LEEDS
RE LAND OR BUILDINGS IN NORTHAMPTON AT: LOT 5, KENNEDY ROAD
MAP AND PARCEL NUMBERS: MAP #10 PARCEL #16
At a meeting conducted on April 27, 1995, the Northampton
Planning Board (unanimously) voted 6:0 to GRANT the request of
ROBERT F. BORAWSKI for a SPECIAL PERMIT and SITE PLAN APPROVAL
under the provisions of Section 16.7, page 16 -4 in the
Northampton Zoning Ordinance, to construct a single - family
residence with driveway and septic system within the WATER SUPPLY
PROTECTION DISTRICT, known as Lot 5, as shown on Plan entitled,
Special Permit of Land in Northampton, MA prepared for Robert A.
Borawski dated August 2, 1994 Drawing #1063 B by Ainsworth
Associates, Inc. of Greenfield, MA.
Planning Board Members present and voting were: Chairman Andrew
Crystal, Vice Chairman Daniel Yacuzzo, Jody Blatt, Nancy Duseau,
Kenneth Jodrie and Mark NeJame.
In Granting the Special Permit, the Planning Board found:
A. The requested use as a single - family residence protects
adjoining premises against seriously detrimental uses by
not altering existing drainage patterns and limiting the
amount of lawn area.
B. The requested use as a single - family residence will not
generate any traffic impact, and the location of the
driveway will allow for runoff to cross, thereby retaining
the existing drainage patterns.
ORIGINAL PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
1.r
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 the site is located in a wooded residential area,
and the proposed use as a single - family residence on a large
lot promotes low density.
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 because a single - family
residence with a small lawn area will be located on an 8.6
acre parcel of land.
E. The requested use meets the special regulations set forth in
§16.7 Water Supply Protection District in the Zoning
Ordinance (See Attachment " A " - Water Supply Protection
District - §16.7 - Uses by Special Permit).
F. The requested use bears a positive relationship to the
public convenience and welfare and will not unduly impair
the integrity or character of the district or adjoining
zones. The use will not be detrimental to the health,
morals, or general welfare because a single - family dwelling
is allowed to be constructed in the RR zoning district. The
use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the
Ordinance because the land is zoned for single - family
residences.
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 reviewing the Site Plan, submitted with the Special Permit,
the Planning Board:
1. Voted 6:0 to Grant the waivers as listed below:
B -2 - Location and boundaries of the lot, adjacent streets and
ways.
Conditions imposed upon the project are as follows:

MAP # 10 PARCEL #S 1, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22
At a meeting conducted on October 27, 1994, the Northampton
Planning Board voted 6:0:2 to GRANT the request of ROBERT A.
BORAWSKI for three (3) SPECIAL PERMITS under the provisions of
Section 6.12 for vehicular egress /access to a Lot over a Common
Driveway and for SITE PLAN APPROVAL under §10.11 of the Zoning
Ordinance at property located on Audubon Road and Kennedy Roads.
Planning Board Members present and voting were: Chairman Andrew
Crystal, Vice Chairman Daniel Yacuzzo, Dr. Joseph Beauregard,
Jody Blatt, Nancy Duseau, Kenneth Jodrie, Mark NeJamb and Bob
Riddle.
Abstaining from voting were: Chairman Andrew Crystal and
Planning Board Member Mark NeJame.
In Granting the Special Permit, the Planning Board found:
1. The requested use for Common Driveways is listed in the
Table of Use Regulations as a Special Permit in Section 6.12
of the Zoning Ordinance.
2. The requested use bears a positive relationship to public
convenience or welfare because a common driveway requires
fewer curb cuts onto public streets which will service more
residences.
3. The requested use will not create undue traffic congestion
or unduly impair pedestrian safety because less traffic
congestion will occur at the intersection with public roads
with shared driveways than would occur with multiple
driveways.
ORIGINAL PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
IN W
4. The requested use will not overload any public water,
drainage or sewer system, or any other municipal system to
such an extent that the requested use or any developed use
in the immediate area or in any other area of the City will
be unduly subjected to hazards affecting health, safety, or
the general welfare, because a driveway will not affect any
municipal system.
5. The requested use meets all special regulations set forth in
the Zoning Ordinance, specifically Section 6.12 - Common
Driveways, see "Attachment A for criteria.
6. The requested use will not unduly impair the integrity of
character of the district or adjoining zones, will not be
detrimental to the health, morals, or general welfare, and
is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the
Ordinance, because a common driveway reduces the amount of
pavement and the number of crub cuts onto city streets and
maintains the rural character of the district.
In Approving the Site Plan, submitted with the Special Permit,
the Planning Board:
1. Voted 6:0:2 to Grant the waivers as requested and listed
below:
B. Site plan at a scale of 1" = 40', and allowing a site
plan using the scale of 1 = 100'.
Conditions imposed upon the project for Common Driveways are as
follows:

as shown on approved plans within two years of the issue
date of this Special Permit. A certified statement from the
project engineer, that the driveway was constructed in
general conformance with the plans approved with these

Planning Board Meeting Minutes of 9/8/94
Chairman Crystal opened the Public Hearing on the request of Robert
A. Borawski for Special permits to allow five separate flag lots
and three common driveways under §6.12, §6.13 and §6.15 and Site
Plan Approval under §10.11(5) of the Zoning Ordinance to be located
on Audubon Road, Leeds (Map #10, parcels 1, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,
22). Crystal said that public notice of the hearing had been
published in the Daily Hampshire Gazette on August 25th and
September 1st, and explained procedures for conducting public
hearings.
Attorney Harley Sacks was present on behalf of his client, Mr.
Borawski, who was sick. Mr. Borawski's wife and son were present
to answer any questions. Sacks said that the request was almost
identical to a permit the Planning Board approved several years
ago, but the new plan had several modifications. The location of
the common driveways are the same. The permits Mr. Borawski
received have expired due to non -use. Sacks said that Mr. Borawski
had gotten tied up with title problems and had been unable to
proceed with construction and was thus before the Board to seek new
permits. Sacks said that the common driveways now conform to all
present technical requirements of the Ordinance. The applicant has
asked for only one Site Plan waiver and that is for dimensional
scale. Sacks said that the criteria has all been outlined in the
application.
Bob Riddle, who was site inspector, had no problems with the
project.
Attorney Sacks reviewed how the applicant met the criteria for Flag
Lots, Common Driveways and the criteria under §10.10 granting
Special Permits.
The DPW had sent a memo stating that they had no concerns with the
project. A letter was received from Chief Larry Jones of the Fire
Department regarding common driveways safety and passage.
Chair Crystal said that some of the lots are accessed over the
front lot line, and noted that in the original permit there was a
condition about correct signage for fire department. Paulette
Kuzdeba reviewed the original decision of the Planning Board dated
March 1990 and reviewed the conditions.
Alice Clemente of Kennedy Road said that, in the public hearing
notice, there was no mention that common driveways will be on
Kennedy Road.
Gordon Swift of Audubon Road asked about water and sewage
requirements. Chair Crystal said the applicant will drill wells
and get permits for septic systems. Swift asked whether there had
been any investigation of the water pressure in the area. Crystal
said the applicant will have wells for water and that the Fire
Department had not voiced any concerns about sources of water for
`...
fighting fires. Paulette Kuzdeba said that, if public water is
used, the applicant would have to get permits from the City and, if
there was not enough pressure, they would not be able to obtain
permits.
Mr. Hellman of Audubon Road asked about water station or pumping
station, and asked whether the lots were large enough to be further
sub - divided. He was told that the lots could not be sub - divided
under the current zoning regulations. However, he was told that
Lot 4 had enough frontage to be sub - divided and would be allowed by
right.
Jane Hellman of Audubon Road wondered about electrical lines.
Chair Crystal said that the Planning Board does not oversee that
issue. Ms. Hellman asked how enforcement of conditions is
overseen, and was told that the Building Inspector has enforcement
powers and responds to citizen complaints.
Gordon Swift asked if a copy of the site plan were available and
Paulette Kuzdeba showed him a copy. Daniel Yacuzzo moved to close
the Public Hearing. Joseph Beauregard seconded the motion which
passed unanimously 7:0.
Daniel Yacuzzo said that there is one request for waiver of Site
Plans requirements which he thought was inconsequential. Yacuzzo
thought that the application reviewed the criteria for Site Plan
Review Special Permit, flag lots and common driveways and suggested
that the original permit conditions be attached to any new permit
approved. Daniel Yacuzzo moved to approve the application for
Special Permits for five flag lots, three common driveways, site
plan approval, and to grant the requested Site Plan waiver, using
criteria addressed in the application filed and presented in the
presentation. Yacuzzo's motion included attaching the same
conditions as had been on the original permit issued in March 1990,
and including any specific concerns from the Conservation
Commission. Nancy Duseau seconded the motion.
Paulette Kuzdeba reviewed previous conditions, and suggested
dropping the condition on requiring a Conservation restriction.
Yacuzzo said he wanted no change in conditions. Further discussion
ensued on conservation restrictions versus Conservation
Restrictions. A suggestion was made to change the condition to
read that no encroachment in the 100' buffer zone be allowed.
Harley Sacks asked whether the restriction was legal and asked that
the Board consult with Kathleen Fallon.
Joseph Beauregard said he would be happy to restrict building in
the buffer zone. Daniel Yacuzzo said he never intended his motion
to have the landowner turn over part of the land to the City.
Yacuzzo said he felt comfortable with putting restrictions on the
permit approval.
Robin Fields of 410 Kennedy Road was acknowledged by the Chiar for
0
L'7
'`r' , 4WO ,
clarification. She said she believed that a conservation
restriction is not synonymous with granting public access to land.
She said it was up to the landowner to decide whether public access
is allowed. She further stated that she believed there were real
property tax considerations that will vary if the land is
restricted with a conservation restriction. She said that a
Conservation Restriction has some positive tax relief from the
State.
The consensus of the Planning Board is not to force the owner give
public access to his land. The Board is also in agreement that
they want a restriction but not public access.
Bob Riddle said he was not prepared to vote in favor of the motion
if the conditions are changed. Chair Crystal asked whether he
might be willing to wait for guidance from Kathleen Fallon or the
Conservation Commission.
Harley Sacks requested that the Planning Board approve the Special
permits with all the conditions from the last permit but with the
exception of changing the Conservation Restriction to conservation
restrictions.
Nancy Duseau said she wanted the Conservation Commission to give
the Planing Board a recommendation on the restriction. Chair
Crystal suggested that the Planning Board wait until the next
meeting to vote on this application.
Joseph Beauregard suggested amended the conditions to state "that
no public access be allowed."
Paulette Kuzdeba said that the Conservation Restriction with a
capital "C" and a capital "R" has a different mehning that a
conservation restriction with a small "c" and a small "r".
Yacuzzo suggested amending his motion to state that the Planning
Board include the conservation restriction that excludes public
access. Duseau said she was unwilling to second the amended
motion, and said she wanted to get input from the Conservation
Commission.
The vote on the original motion did not pass with a vote of 0:4:3
with no one in favor, Crystal, Duseau, Riddle, and Yacuzzo opposed
and Beauregard, Blatt, and Jodrie abstaining from voting.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Jody Blatt moved to defer the decision and continue the public
Hearing until the next Planning Board meeting and in the meantime
to get further clarification from the Conservation Commission and
advice from the Law Department about whether additional input can
be obtained after the Public Hearing has been closed. Joseph
Beauregard seconded the motion which passed with a 5:1:1 vote with
Yacuzzo opposed and Duseau abstaining from the vote.

Planning Board Meeting Minutes of 10/13/94
Chairman Crystal opened the Continuation of a Public Hearing on the
request of Robert A. Borawski for Special permits to allow five
separate flag lots and three common driveways under §6.12, §6.13
and §6.15 and Site Plan Approval under §10.11(5) of the Zoning
Ordinance to be located on Audubon Road, Leeds (Map #10, parcels 1,
16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22). Crystal said that the Public Hearing had
been opened on September 8, 1994 and continued to September 28th
and again to this date in order to get clarification on the issue
of conservation restrictions.
Nancy Duseau said that she had been present at the first meeting,
had missed the second meeting but read the minutes of the meeting
and was familiar with what had occurred on the case.
Paulette Kuzdeba said she had talked with the legal department and
requested explanation or guidance on the Planning Board's ability
to place a Conservation Restriction on the property and the
enforceability of the restriction. The Law Department had misread
her request for the information. Chair Crystal read the last
paragraph of Kathleen Fallon's memo and said that the Board did not
get an answer from the Law Department nor from the Conservation
Commission.
Wayne Feiden explained the different types of conservation
restrictions and deed restrictions. He said that a Conservation
Restriction could be placed without requiring public access to the
property. Feiden also said that the State only accepts
Conservation Restrictions which are for the public good or for
public purpose. There are three types of protections which the
City routinely uses:
1. The Board could write a Special Permit with a condition that
no development is allowed in the subject area.
2. The Board could require a deed restriction as a condition on
the Special Permit, sometimes called a conservation easement.
3. The Board could put a Conservation Restriction on the permit
since the public purpose is shown by protecting the water
supply area.
The Conservation Commission or non - profit agency can hold a
Conservation Restriction and would thus have enforcement powers.
Joseph Beauregard questioned the fact that the original permit had
a Conservation Restriction and wondered if it were ever approved by
the State. The restriction was never approved by the State since
the actual work never took place.
Attorney Harley Sacks, representing Mr. Borawski, said if there is
a value that the I.R.S. recognizes, then it is being taken away
from the applicant. He said that a Conservation Restriction would
`.. •./
be viewed under the law as a "taking." Chair Crystal said he had
reviewed the specific case law and disagreed with Sacks. Sacks
said the City does not gain anything by a "taking," and stated that
a law suit could be filed against the City should such a "taking"
occur.
Nancy Duseau said she was on the Planning Board when the original
permit was granted and noted that the former Senior Planner, Larry
Smith, was known to encourage over - regulating conditions on
permits. Duseau said she thought the Board was leaning towards
over - regulation and she would be more in favor of a deed
restriction which would designate the Building Inspector and the
City to oversee and enforce the restriction.
Jody Blatt expressed concern about the level of enforcement. Blatt
said the Board was in agreement that there should not be any
building in a certain part of the property. She said the Board
should consider what might happen if a new owner takes over the
property and a less enforceable action is taken.
Wayne Feiden said the Board should consider two rules that a
physical invasion is a "taking," and taking all value of one's
property is a "taking." He said a deed restriction or a
Conservation Restriction is not a "taking." A deed restriction is
more desirable for the applicant since it is harder to enforce.
Chair Crystal said the Planning Board needed to protect the City's
interests. If the Planning Board feels that the piece of property
is worth protecting for the general good, then the Board should not
be afraid to make it as enforceable as possible.
Jody Blatt asked whether there could be some land donation. Harley
Sacks said that he and the applicant have been befdre the Board
three times already and would like some closure. Sacks reiterated
that he would probably appeal a decision if a Conservation
Restriction is added as a condition.
Wayne Feiden suggested giving local authority to make local
decisions about the driveway location, and flooding and /or moving
the stream under the Conservation Restriction. Mr. Borawski said
there is agriculture in that area now. Chair Crystal said that
agriculture will be allowed, following U.S.D.A. practices and
standards. Mr. Borawski requested that the Planning Board not use
U.S.D.A. practices as part of the permit because they are not a
very efficient agency in this area. Andrew Crystal said he was
interested in guidelines for preventing pesticide applications in
the area. Feiden said U.S.D.A. practices are guidelines which the
Board has used in the past. Crystal said that the conditions on
the original permit address a lot of the Board's concerns regarding
pesticides, size of manicured lawns, etc. Kenneth Jodrie moved to
close the Public Hearing. Nancy Duseau seconded the motion which
passed unanimously 6:0.
Harley Sacks said that applicant would like to stay with the local
`` NW
%WWI
enforcement and would be against a Conservation Restriction which
is overseen by the State. Paulette Kuzdeba asked about the
previous condition about the existing dirt farm road and whether
farm vehicles could cross the brook. Crystal said the Board could
make an exception for farm vehicles.
Chair Crystal said the Planning Board might want to update the
conditions. He asked for staff input and asked that a review with
recommendations be sent to the Board members prior to the next
Planning Board meeting. Paulette Kuzdeba should also give Harley
Sacks a chance to review the previous conditions.
The Planning Board decided to table the decision until the next
meeting scheduled for October 27, 1994.

Planning Board Meeting Minutes of 10/27/94
Chairman Crystal said that the Planning Board would try to reach a
decision on the request of Robert A. Borawski for Special Permits
to allow five separate flag lots and three common driveways under
§6.12, §6.13 and §6.15 and Site Plan Approval under §10.11(5) of
the Zoning Ordinance to be located on Audubon Road, Leeds (Map #10,
parcels 1, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22). Crystal said that the Public
Hearing had been opened on September 8, 1994 and had been closed on
October 13, 1994. He stated that the Board required further time
to consider the conditions which might be imposed on granting the
permits and to get clarification on the issue of conservation
restrictions.
Andrew Crystal read a copy of Kathleen Fallon's memo of October 26,
1994 (see attached). Joseph Beauregard expressed frustration that
a legal opinion had not been obtained sooner.
Paulette Kuzdeba reviewed the proposed conditions for the Common
Driveways and Flag Lots. A discussion ensued about what
constitutes exercising a Special Permit so that the applicant can
make sure that the permits do not expire again, due to inaction.

FROM: Wayne Feiden, AICP, Principal Planner
RE: Borawski's application for multiple flag lot permits
DATE: September 16, 1994
Paulette indicated that when the Planning Board considered Mr.
Borawski's request for a renewal of his special permits for
multiple flag lots you had some questions about condition B(2),
which required a conservation restriction. She asked if I could
address these issues.
Historv:
The Planning Board put this condition in the original permit in
an effort to preserve a tributary to the city's backup water
supply. Although no other city board formerly endorsed the
specific language in the permit, it is consistent with the goals
and objectives of the Aquifer /Water Supply Protection Committee,
which was meeting in early 1990. Since the permit was approved,
Section 16.0 was extensively revised, including new requirements
in §16.9.
Recommendation:
The following condition would help preserve our water supply
without creating any public access onto private property:
A Conservation Restriction, without public access, pursuant
to Sections 31, 32, and 33 of Chapter 184 of the
Massachusetts General Laws and using the Division of
Conservation Service's standard model, shall be placed on
those areas within 100 feet of the center of Clark Brook on
lots 3, 5, 7 and 9 and within 50 feet of the center of an
unnamed brook on lots 4 and 5, as shown on the referenced
plans. Should a Conservation Restriction not be approved or
accepted by the City Council or Secretary of Environmental
Affairs, deed restrictions shall be placed on these lots
prohibiting any development or site alterations on those
portions of the lots described above.
Special Permit and Site Plan Review Criteria:
ORIGINAL PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
I%..
,..f
The above recommended condition may help the board find the
following special permit and site plan review criteria can be
met:
510.10(3)(D): "...not... be unduly subjected to hazards affecting
health"
§10..10(3)(F): "...nor be detrimental to the health..."
510.11(6)(E): "mitigation of adverse impacts on the City's
resources including the effect on the City's water supply..."
Relationship to Section 16.0
The Planning Board should be aware that, pursuant to §16.9(c)
some of the work proposed for lots 4, 5 and 7 is not permitted
unless the Zoning Board of Appeals grants a Special Permit to
allow this work within 200' of a tributary to a public water
supply. This section did not exist when the Board granted a
permit in 1990, but must be complied with now.

SECTION 10.10.3 - SPECIAL PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
3. Before granting an application for a special permit, the special
permit granting authority, with regard to the nature and
condition of all adjacent structures and uses, and the district
within which the same is located, shall find all of the following
general conditions to be fulfilled:
(a) The use requested is listed in the Table of use Regulations
as a special permit in the district for which application is
made or is so designated elsewhere in this Ordinance.
a. The proposed use is for single family homes and is
allowed as a matter of right in an applicable zones.
(b) The requested use bears a positive relationship to the
public convenience or welfare.
b. Homes for families, are certainly positive in terms of
public convenience and welfare, especially as this
proposed use is permitted in this zone.
(c) The requested use will not create undue traffic congestion
or unduly impair pedestrian safety.
C. For the least intensive use of land, and a driveway
laid out in accord with the Department of Public Works
requirements, there is no issue of public convenience
or pedestrian safety. The use of common drives also
diminishes the number of curb cuts and therefore the
interference with what is already an almost non-
existent traffic flow.
(d) The requested use will not overload any public water,
drainage or sewer system or any other municipal system to
such an extent that the requested use or any developed use
in the immediate area or in any other area of the City will
be unduly subjected to hazards affecting health, safety, or
the general welfare.
d. The engineer, per the plans, has stated that there will
be no detrimental impact on due to storm water run -off.
The lots have all successfully passed percolation tests
showing that appropriate sanitary sewage disposal
systems may be installed. The other systems are all
municipal and there is no negative impact.

FLAG LOT AND COMMON DRIVEWAY PERMIT
PAGE 4
SECTION 10.10.3 - SPECIAL PERMIT REQUIREMENTS (continued)
(e) Any special regulations for the use as set forth in Article
XI are fulfilled.
e. There is no issue here.
(f) The requested 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.
f. The ordinance provides for single family housing in
this neighborhood, and is therefore appropriate and
consistent with this heavily developed residential
area. The juxtaposition to a neighboring farm is
consistent with the zoning ordinance. A single family
residence cannot be said to affect morals or general
welfare, nor health. Accordingly, the proposed use is
in harmony with the intent of the ordinance. The
assembly of lots by flag lots and with common driveways
makes effective affordable use of the land.
The plan for the flag lots and common drives was
previously approved by the Planning Board. The
Applicant believes that the original permits are still
in place and that it has acted upon them. After
approval, it took approximately one year to have the
survey prepared; the survey disclosed several boundary
encroachments, and it took approximately two more years
to resolve the boundary disputes, all of which were
resolved and are reflected on this plan; one drinking
well was installed on lot 2; the site was cleared and
the common driveway for lot 5 was cleared. The
Building Inspector granted a building permit and a
zoning permit, but the driveway serving lots 4 and 5
had to be relocated. At that time the Planning
Department ruled that the permits had expired, which
conclusion the applicant does not agree with. This
application shall not be deemed a waiver of the prior
permits but is submitted in the alternative. The
applicant does agree that it requires approval of the
modification to the common driveway on lots 4 and 5.

SECTION 10.11.6 - SITE PLAN REVIEW /APPROVAL CRITERIA
In conduction the Site Plan Review (Intermediate Projects) and Site
Plan Special Permit (Major Projects), the Special Permit Granting
Authority shall consider the following matters:
A. Protection of adjoining premises against seriously detrimental
uses by provision for surface water drainage, sound and sight
buffers and preservation of views, light, and air;
The subject lots are all large and located in a sparsely
settled area of the City. due to the topography and set -back
requirements, the improvements on the lots should all be
private and suitable located. There should be no negative
impact from water drainage, sound nor sight. All views will
not be negatively impacted by improvements on adjoining lots,
nor will they interfere with existing views, nor light nor air.
B. Convenience and safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement
within the site and on adjacent streets, minimizing traffic
impacts on the streets, road and highways in the area, the
location of driveways opening in relation to traffic, access by
emergency vehicles, and to adjacent streets and, when
necessary, compliance with other regulations for the
handicapped, minors and the elderly;
The use of common driveways enhances these lots and keeps the
number of driveway openings to a minimum. There will be easy
vehicular access and no interference with other traffic, nor
with pedestrians.
C. Adequacy of the arrangement of parking and loading spaces in
relation to the proposed uses of the premises;
There will only be single family homes constructed and thus
parking and loading are not issues.
D. Relationship of structures and open spaces to the natural
landscape, existing buildings and other community assets in the
area and compliance with other requirements of the ordinance;
and
Due to the size of the lots, and the large amounts of open
space these lots will blend in with the area.

E. Mitigation of adverse impacts on the City's resources including
the effect on the City's water supply and distribution system,
sewage collection and treatment systems, fire protect, and
streets.
The modest use occasioned by single family homes will have
virtually no impact.on the water supply system, or other
municipal systems. Title V of the State sanitary code will be
complied with to protect the environment.
F. Compliance with the technical performance standards below.
The only technical performance standard that seems to apply to
this application is that curb cuts onto streets be minimized.
The use of common driveways accomplishes this.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
DATE:
Frank Sienkiewicz, Building Inspector
Kathleen G. Fallon, City Solicitor
Kennedy Road; Map 10, Parcel 16
April 11, 1994
It appears from Mr. Borowski's letter of March 30, 1994, that no
house has yet been built on the above lot. There is not enough
information in the file for me to form a definite opinion as to the
situation. However, based on the information that is available, I
can make the following conclusions.
The special permits for the flag lots and common driveways were
issued on April 13, 1990. I see no evidence that the ZBA decision
was recorded although that may have been done. The permits would
have expired in eighteen (18) months, on October 13, 1992, unless
exercised prior to that date. It appears that the 1990 decision
authorized three (3) common driveways, two leading from Audubon
Road and one from Kennedy Road, the latter being the driveway which
is the subject of this request. This driveway was intended to
serve Lots #5 (Map 10, Parcel 16) and #4 as shown on the plan
submitted with the special permit application.
Unless "substantial use" of the special permit began within the
eighteen month period, it would have lapsed. It appears that Mr.
Barowsky did not even file for a building permit until a year after
the expiration date. The septic system approval was not granted
until September, 1993. An ANR plan was approved on April 11, 1991,
but it is my opinion that the filing and recording of this plan
does not qualify as "substantial use" of the permits. There is
also case law that states that site preparation alone does not
qualify as exercise of a permit.
Absent further information, it is my conclusion that the special
permit for the common driveway serving lots #5 and #4 has lapsed.
Mr. Barowsky must file a new application to reestablish the special
permit. However, since moving the driveway would require a new
application, he would have to go through the permitting process
again regardless of the status of the special permit.
Unless substantial use has occurred in connection with the other
special permits granted in the decision of April 13, 1990, those
permits have also lapsed. If Mr. Barowsky is the owner of any of
0
I WAW
...e
the parcels affected by other lapsed permits, he may want to file
for new permits at the same time.
There is another alternative, of course. Lot 5 appears to comply
with all dimensional requirements of the zoning ordinance. A
single family home may be built on it without zoning relief.
However, doing so may compromise the ability to develop Lot 4
since the common driveway will not be available.

Northampton Planning Board
March 22, 1990 Meeting
Page One
The Northampton Planning Board met at 7:00 p. m. on Thursday, March
22, 1990 in Council Chambers, Wallace J. Puchalski Municipal
Building, Northampton. Present were Chairman J. Beauregard, J.
Holeva, M. Mendelson, E. J. Gare III, J. Arnould, N. Duseau, and
L. B. Smith, Senior Planner.
At 9:50 p. m., the Board turned to the continuation of the Public
Hearing on Robert and Ann Borawski's application for Special
Permits to allow Flag Lots and Common Driveways on their parcel
bordered by Kennedy and Audubon Roads. Rick Klein of Berkshire
Design commented, "At the last meeting you asked for an erosion
control plan. We submitted it to the DPW and they approved it."
Mr. Holeva commented, "I asked if all the homes and septic systems
could be kept at least 200' from the stream." Mr. Klein replied,
"We have complied with the zoning bylaw, and don't want to create
a precedent based on rumor of a law that may be passed. We meet
all your requirements, limit mown lawn, and want to keep it as-
is. The lot sizes are almost eight acres. It's not fair to make
the applicant pay to do more perc tests when he already meets the
law." Ch. Beauregard read a letter from the Board of Health
dated March 9. Mr. Smith commented, "We need six affirmative votes
to pass. Lots #4 and #7 which have houses less than 200' from the
brook are not flag lots, aren't in need of a Special Permit. We
can't impose Jim's 200' request."
There were no opponents. Mr. Smith referred the Board to the
conditions offered at the prior meeting. Dr. Arnould moved the
Public Hearing be closed. Mrs. Duseau seconded, and the motion
passed unanimously. Mrs. Duseau then moved to grant the special
Permits to allow the Flag Lots, finding that all the criteria of
Section 10.10 were met, and commented, "This is a well - planned,
low- density project. Pasture and forest are preserved, the water
supply is protected, and it's environmentally sound." She included
Mr. Smith's proposed conditions as part of her motion. Mrs.
Mendelson seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. Mrs. Duseau
then moved to grant the Special Permit for the common driveways,
with the conditions prepared by Mr. Smith. Dr. Arnould seconded.
Mrs. Duseau addressed the Special Permit criteria, and found
particularly that "common driveways cut down on the number of curb
cuts, the large flag lots cut down the total number of lots, and
the design is environmentally sensitive." The motion passed
unanimously.

The Northampton Fire Department recommends that the following
be considered when allowing the use of Flag Lots or Corimmon
Driveways:
IT a flag lot is used so that any structure uuilt on it
will be located an appreciable distance from the public
road, a substantial roadway capable of supporting heavy
firee apparatus should be required. This roadway should
be at least 12' wide and may be colprovia, gravel,
crushed stone, etc. Our main concern is that it be
accessibl'_- during the spring mud Season or ot wet
periods. 'f it is necessary to install any culverts,
they should be capable of supporting fire apparatus.
? .
When one drive a, .'s common to two or more properties, a
citable rigs should be posted near the main road and at
the cutoff to each property. This sign should include
vislble Ltreet 1 i _.. case cf emergency response by
the Fire Police or Ambulance Department's.

Dear Mrs. Duseau:
Our office has received the plans for the above mentioned
subdivision. We have the following comments:
1. Plan has not been stamped by a registered professional
engineer or a registered land surveyor.
2. Robert Drive and Ann Lane seem to be longer than 1000
feet.
3. Water systems are not looped.
In addition our office has the following concerns:
I
CITY OF NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
125 Locust Street
Northampton, MA 01060
1. We do not feel that the existing water system in Leeds
has the capability of supplying the proposed development
with either adequate domestic water supply nor sufficient
volume for fire protection without adversely impacting
the surrounding area.
2. The D.P.W. cannot take ownership of or responsibility
for the proposed pumping station and force main, due to
lack of personnel and funds for the operation of the
system.
3. Leeds Reservoir, which is part of the City's water supply,
abuts the proposed subdivision, therefore every effort
should be made to insure that the proposed subdivision
does not adversely affect said reservoir.
I believe that the waterways within the project are classified
"A" and require special care. I would suggest that the developer
be required to pay for tests as directed by the Department of Public
Works. These tests would determine water quality prior to, during
R
and after the development in the immediate area. These tests should
include color, turbidity, temperature, P.H., B.O.D. and dissolved
Oxygen. No discharge of water should be allowed which does not meet
standards and special provisions must be made to ensure the continued
quality of the brooks feeding Northampton's reservoir.
If you have any questions please call me or George Andrikidis
at 586 -6950 ext. 274.
Yours truly,

PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLANS (9:40 p. m.)
CROW HILL: Mr. Richard Klein of Berkshire Design Group appeared
for Mr. Robert Borawski, the owner of this tract of 61.5 acres
bounded by Audubon and Kennedy Roads, and abutting the reservoir.
It is currently a sheep farm, and the plan is a Subdivision of 38
lots ranging in size from roughly 40- 90,000 SF. The problems
are: few entrance possibilities into this parcel, wetlands within
the parcel, proximity to the reservoir, and the fact that most
lots won't perc. Mr. Klein feels the design presented is the
best compromise of minimum detriment to the environment and
maximum return to the developer. Mr. Klein says his client's
instructions were to submit a plan in congruence with the present
Zoning Ordinance on Subdivisions, and is not going to consider
Prof. Motts' 80,000 SF suggestion. VCh. Mendelson reads a letter
dated January 15, 1988 from Paul O. Hadsel, Director of Public
Works, to the Chair of the Planning Board, offering a number of
comments. (It is inserted here as a part of the record.)
Mr. Klein states he has not seen the letter, and is given a copy.
At this point, Mr. Herlihy asked to withdraw because he lives on
Audubon Road. Mr. Smith suggested he not participate, and
abstain from voting, but remain to keep a Quorum.
Mr. Klein states that the property is currently a sheep
farm, and suggests that houses on a sewer system are less harmful
to a reservoir than a sheep farm. Mr. Borawski agreed that there
is less pollution from houses than from animals. Dr. Beauregard
took exception to this logic, stating that animal bacteria don't
generally affect humans, but human coliforms, etc. certainly do.
Mr. Klein thinks it is unreasonable for the Applicant to be
expected to pay for the extensive tests asked for on Page Two of
the DPW letter. Mr. Andrikidis suggests this point may be moot
for two reasons: 1) The project as presented will not get DPW
approval, since it involves an on -site sewage pumping station
that the City will. not take over, nor will the City allow a
private entity to maintain it, and 2) until the Applicant
determines that he has adequate water pressure for firefighting,
he doesn't have a Subdivision. He suggests the Applicant take

steps to answer that question.
Mr. Jasinski stressed, "We are not against development."
Mr. Klein responded, "Financially, this presentation is the only
one that makes sense."
Mr. Smith reminded the Board that it must approve or
disapprove the Preliminary Subdivision Plan tonight, so we must
give some guidelines to Mr. Borawski. Mr. Andrikidis states that
the Waiver Requests in the Berkshire Design Group letter of
January 6, 1988 would not be approved. Dr. Beauregard moved we
disapprove the submitted plan based upon the DPW's first three
points in the January 15th letter, and suggest that the Applicant
seriously address the second three points. Mr. Jasinski
seconded, and the Motion passed unanimously with Mr. Herlihy
abstaining.
DS; (10:25 p. M. ) Mr. Jaslns 1
Se he has a financial interest in this subdivision ut
returned to maintain the Quorum, but did not participate f* vote.
Mr. Andrikidis reported that the developer has a essed and
resolved every concern previously expressed by the_ -DPW, and based
on that information, Mr. Herlihy moved we acc 5pt the Preliminary
Subdivision Plan as presented. The vote is �unanimous (4 -0, with
Mr. Jasinski abstaining). �
r
The last agenda item was a vote to`�accept the modified By -Laws
and Rules of Procedure of the Planning Board. (The modifications
were the addition of a paragraph covering site inspections, and
the substitution of the word "Chair" in every case where
"Chairman" had been used.,,'' Dr. Beauregard moved we accept the
new By -Laws, Mr. Her�ihy seconded, and the motion passed
unanimously, I
Under "New Businegs," Mr. Smith announced that the developer had
"walked away" ,.From the Indian Hill project, and the DPW would
have to coW`1ete it. Mr. Andrikidis said the development is
"falling apart." There is $20,000 left on the Letter of Credit,
and someone wondered out loud if that was enough.

Residential zones. There were no proponents or opponents. Mr.
Gare moved to close the Public Hearing. Mrs. Duseau seconded, and
the motion passed unanimously. Mr. Gare moved that the change be
endorsed. Mr. Holeva seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
At 9:00 the Board turned to the PUBLIC HEARING ON THE APPLICATION
OF ROBERT AND ANN BORAWSKI FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT TO ALLOW FLAG LOTS
AND COMMON DRIVEWAYS in a group of parcels on Audubon Road.
Representing the Applicants was Rick Klein of Berkshire Design
Group. He reviewed the history by remarking that "In January,
1989, Borawski submitted a preliminary plan called, 'Crow Hill.'
We now have a nine -lot plan with flag lots, and need Special
Permits under sections 6.12 and 6.13. This is ecologically -
minded. It protects the open space and the aquifer. There will
be on -site sewer and water, with minimal disturbance to the
parcel." Ch. Beauregard read a Feb. 12 letter from the DPW. Mr.
Klein responded to the letter by saying his client is willing to
comply, and has a sedimentation control plan. There were no
proponents, and when the Chair called for opponents, the following
people rose to speak: Annie Chapella(sp ?), Audubon Road asked,
"What are you doing to protect the aquifer ?" Mr. Klein replied,
"There are only nine lots, the wetlands aren't impacted. We will
limit mown lawn size and prohibit Chemlawn. The driveways will be
gravel. Chances of contaminating the aquifer are slim. There will
be 12 acres of pasture, unmown open space."
Mr. Smith explained the flag lot ordinance and the theory behind
it. He said, "If the frontage is on Kennedy, and the house is
nearer to Audubon, access should be from Audubon with an Audubon
street address." Mr. Andrikidis suggested that the farm logging
road be eliminated, and not used during construction. "That should
be a condition."
Mr. Holeva asked, "How close is the closest house to the brook ?"
and was told by Mr. Smith, 11 175' away." Mr. Holeva said he would
like to see houses and septic systems at least 200' from the brook.
Mr. Smith added, "I'd like to continue the Public Hearing so the
DPW can look at the erosion control plan and comment." Mrs. Hale
moved to continue to March 22, and Mrs. Mendelson seconded. Mr.
Holeva felt Lots #3 and 7 have a problem with being too close to
the brook. The motion passed unani mously_ —__
At 9:35 the Board turned to a review of the Site Plan for the Donna
Dwyer accessory apartment which was reviewed at the last Board
meeting. Ch. Beauregard went through all the Sec n 10.11
criteria; the Board found them all to be fully met or properly
waived, and on Mr. Holeva's motion and Mrs. Duseau's second, the
vote was 6- 1(Gare) to recommend approval to the ZBA.
At 9:45 the Board began the continuation of the PUBLIC HEARING ON
w R
Northampton Planning Board
March 22, 1990 Meeting

Mr. Gare then moved that "Josef Is motion be brought up again." He
so moved, and Mr. Holeva seconded. Dr. Arnould commented, "The
rationale behind my motion is to produce as safe a situation as
possible. If the 12 area pump is put in, we'll get the best
service available for Country Way and Rustlewood Ridge. This is
the best compromise." Ch. Beauregard commented, "I agree with
you. If the #2 booster is moved, and the whole area's water supply
is improved, I'd go along with that. We should not endanger the
lives of the people already there. We can require that they have
adequate water, and #2 is the way to do it." The vote on Mr.
Gare's restatement of Dr. Arnould's motion was 5- 1(Duseau). Ch.
Beauregard and Mrs. Mendelson commented, aside, that they "voted
under duress."
At 9:35 p. m., the Joint Public Hearing to amend the zoning map,
scheduled for 8:00 p. m., was convened. However, Messrs.
FitzGerald and Ames of the City Council Ordinance Committee had
left, and it was determined that Mr. Morrison was not present due
to illness. The Planning Board portion of the hearing was then
conducted, with Mr. Smith explaining what was involved. He pointed
out that some of our water resources, (wells, Roberts Reservoir)
are within the city limits and are protected, but the Mountain
Street Reservoir and the Ryan Reservoir are out of town and not
fully protected. "We want Hatfield to adopt a water protection
district to protect our reservoir, and we will adopt a Water Supply
Protection Overlay District to protect the Cooke's Pasture area
which is in the watershed district for Hatfield's Running Gutter
Brook well. It's a quid pro quo - -we protect theirs, they protect
ours." Coun. Kirby, sponsor of the change, asked Mr. Smith to
explain "what the proposed district does," and was told that it
prohibits industrial uses, prohibits underground tanks, and
requires 80,000 square foot lots. The Chair called for proponents,
and the following people spoke: Nancy Hardin President of the
Broad Brook Coalition, said, "We support this measure." Mike Kirby
said, "I strongly support this." Peter Frothingham said, "I
strongly support this. Regional cooperation is important." Jon
Roche added, "I'm in favor." James Brooks said, "I also support
this." There were no opponents. Mr. Gare moved to close the
Public Hearing, Mrs. Duseau seconded, and the motion passed
unanimously. Mrs. Duseau moved that the change be favorably
recommended to the City Council. Dr. Arnould seconded, and the
motion passed unani mously. - --
At 9:50 p. m., the Board turned to the continuation of the Public
Hearing on Robert and Ann Borawski's application for Special
Permits to allow Flag Lots and Common Driveways on their parcel
bordered by Kennedy and Audubon Roads. Rick Klein of Berkshire
Design commented, "At the last meeting you asked for an erosion
control plan. We submitted it to the DPW and they approved it."
Mr. Holeva commented, "I asked if all the homes and septic systems
` '44NO' "me

March 22, 1990 Meeting
Page Seven
could be kept at least 200' from the stream." Mr. Klein replied,
"We have complied with the zoning bylaw, and don't want to create
a precedent based on rumor of a law that may be passed. We meet
all your requirements, limit mown lawn, and want to keep it as-
is. The lot sizes are almost eight acres. It's not fair to make
the applicant pay to do more perc tests when he already meets the
law." Ch. Beauregard read a letter from the Board of Health
dated March 9. Mr. Smith commented, "We need six affirmative votes
to pass. Lots 14 and #7 which have houses less than 200' from the
brook are not flag lots, aren't in need of a Special Permit. We
can't impose Jim's 200' request."
There were no opponents. Mr. Smith referred the Board to the
conditions offered 'at the prior meeting. Dr. Arnould moved the
Public Hearing be closed. Mrs. Duseau seconded, and the motion
passed unanimously. Mrs. Duseau then moved to grant the Special
Permits to allow the Flag Lots, finding that all the criteria of
Section 10.10 were met, and commented, "This is a well - planned,
low- density project. Pasture and forest are preserved, the water
supply is protected, and it's environmentally sound." She included
Mr. Smith's proposed conditions as part of her motion. Mrs.
Mendelson seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. Mrs. Duseau
then moved to grant the Special Permit for the common driveways,
with the conditions prepared by Mr. Smith. Dr. Arnould seconded.
Mrs. Duseau addressed the Special Permit criteria, and found
particularly that "common driveways cut down on the number of curb
cuts, the large flag lots cut down the total number of lots, and
the design is environmentally sensitive." The motion passed
unanimously.

Council and ask that funds be appropriated to purchase parcels
adjoining the Roberts Reservoir, and to amend the zoning ordinance
to prohibit the location of homes and /or septic systems within 200'
of a feeder brook. Mr. Gare seconded, and the motion passed
unanimously.
At 10:20 p. m., there was a presentation of the "Report of the
Aquifer /Watershed Planning Committee." Mr. Holeva made a motion
that the Board accept the report. Mr. Gare seconded. Mr. Holeva
highlighted the salient points. His motion passed unanimously.
Wayne Feiden, the Conservation Planner, went into the recommended
changes in Article XVI of the zoning ordinance, particularly
section 16.5 and 16.9. Mr. Smith suggested that Section 16.4(i)
be more limiting, and that 16.9(c) be added to accomplish Mr.
Holeva's objective of preventing building within 200' of a brook.
Coun. Brooks agreed to sponsor the zoning changes.
At 10:30 p. m., the proposed changes in the Subdivision Rules and
Regulations were examined. The changes are: 1) "Alternative

General Description
NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION
Exhibit B
1.1
Robert F. Borawski proposes to construct a three bedroom home and swimming pool on a 8.6 acre parcel
located on the east side of Kennedy Road in Northampton. No work is proposed within the resource
area; however, some of the construction will take place within the 100' buffer zone.
On February 13, 1995, A Request for Determination was filed with the Northampton .Conservation
Commission on behalf of Mr. Borawski for approval of the wetland flag line, done by Karro A. Frost in
April of 1994.
Existing Site Conditions
The site is located on the east side of Kennedy Road, to the northwest of Leeds Reservoir. It is bordered
by undeveloped residential building lots. Clark Brook forms the easterly boundary while another small
brook borders the property to the south. The site is mostly wooded with a few cleared farm roads.
Topography is steep in areas with slopes of up to 25 %. The easterly portion was previously a com field.
Soils consist of very stony, fine, sandy loam.
Proposed Construction
The 500' driveway will _come off of Kennedy Road at the location of an existing .farm road. At this
point, the driveway will be approximately 45' from the resource area, with grading expected to extend
another 5'. The first 150' of the driveway are within the 100' buffer zone. The drive will be constructed
perpendicular to existing grade with a maximum slope of 10 %.
The proposed three bedroom home is oriented north -south. It is parallel to the existing topography.
There is a walkout basement to the east which opens up to a grass play area. A garage is also proposed
at basement level. A fenced pool area will be constructed at the south side of the home. A 3:1 slope will
return to existing grade; no grading in this area will be within 50' of the wetland resource area.
A well is proposed to the west of the home; the septic system is proposed to the east. Neither will be
within the 100' buffer. zone.

EROSION CONTROL NOTES
Exhibit E
1. Erosion control measures shall be incorporated in the sequence of construction to prevent sediment
laden runoff from leaving the site, and shall, where applicable, incorporate at least the following
procedures detailed on this drawing:
a. A siltation fence along downslope site boundaries prior to commencing any other work. Fence
material shall be Mirafi 140N, Trevira 1127, or approved equal.
'— b. New or regraded slopes of 3:1 or greater shall receive spread straw and/or seed and fertilizer
as per plans. New or regraded slopes of 2:1 or greater shall be blanketed with Curlex erosion
control matting, or approved equal; provide temporary slope erosion control where required.
c. Fill and grading shall be treated with slope stabilization seeding or ground cover and hay
mulch upon completion.
2. All haybale and silt fence erosion and sedimentation checks shall be placed prior to beginning work
as per the plan and as per the appropriate detail specification.
�— 3. Wherever haybale or silt fence filters are used, they shall be maintained in good working condition
until ground cover is reestablished. Silt fence shall be periodically cleaned as necessary to assure
proper and effective functioning. Haybales shall also be replaced as necessary, to provide adequate
function.
4. Soil stockpiles shall be shaped and seeded with temporary cover as per seeding specifications or
mulched if grading is to be delayed over winter. The downhill toe -of -slope of all stockpiled soils
shall be protected by staked haybales or silt fence.
S. If any questions arise regarding erosion and sedimentation control measures, the Project Landscape
Architect shall be consulted immediately.
