6. DHCD must approve the terms of the end loan financing of the affordable units. It is the
agency's expectation that the mortgage for the affordable unit buyer will be provided by

at the time of closing and will have no points. Affordable unit buyers shall comply with
Federal National Mortgage Association(FNMA.)down payment requirements.
7. Evidence shall be submitted to DHCD that affordable homes in this development are covered
by a third-party extended warranty of at least five years in duration recognized as acceptable by
a federal agency such as FHA.
8. The city must also submit an appraisal of the value of the site under existing"by-right'zoning
without the benefit of a comprehensive permit and the price of the market rate parcel to be sold.
9. Homeownership or condominium fees applied to affordable units will be calculated as part of
the overall household costs,which shall not exceed 30%of the household income_
Homeownership fee for affordable units shall not exceed$150 per month.
This approval letter shall expire two years from this date, or on February 13,2005 if a regulatory
agreement has not been executed and construction begun by that date.
As you know,the specifics of this project must be formalized in a Regulatory Agreement signed by the
municipality,the project sponsor and DHCD prior to starting construction. Information concerning both
the regulatory agreement and the procedures which must be followed for the sale of individual unit,will
be forwarded to you by DHCD. In preparation for signing of the regulatory agreement,the DHCD legal
office will review the comprehensive permit and other project documentation. Additional information
may be requested as is deemed necessary. Your cooperation in providing such materials will help the
project move toward construction as quickly as possible.
Once the Local Initiative Units are occupied, the City of Northampton may petition DHCD to include the
unit in the subsidized housing inventory.
Again,I congratulate you for your efforts to bring affordable housing to Northampton. If you have any
questions as you proceed with the project please feel free to call Miryam Bobadilla at-(617)727-7824

one lot and two single-family houses on two separate lots. Sixunits will be affordable to low-and
moderate-income households, and the two single lots will be sold to be developed as market rate single-
family units. The project will be sited on a 20.5 acre site located on the south side of Westhampton Road,
to the west of Glendale Road.
This family housing project includes 6 Local Initiative Units eligible for inclusion in the city's subsidized
housing inventory. The six LIP units will be sold to LIP-eligible households whose annual income may
range from 30%to 50%of area median income for the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area(MSA).
Income limits will be adjusted for household size.
The conditions that must be met prior to final DHCD approval include:
VY. The Mayor of Northampton shall designate the Office of Planning and Development as the
agency that will apply for the comprehensive permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals(ZBA).

comprehensive permit must specify that the parcel of land for the 6 affordable units must be
sold by the town to PVHFH for$1. The ZBA shall provide as part of the comprehensive permit
any and all requirements placed on the parcel of land designated for the one market rate unit.
3. A complete marketing plan and homebuyers' selection process also must be submitted to
DHCD. Finalized details of the lottery to be held for the units shall be submitted to DHCD.
The lottery process shall give first preference to families rather than individuals(see program
guidelines). Unless the community chooses to assume financial responsibility for the lottery
process,the project sponsor must assume the cost. Family size should be considered when
matching the applicants to units with multiple bedrooms. An announcement of this lottery
shall be mailed to the Metro List Clearing Housing in Boston: Room 966,Boston City Hall,
Boston,MA 02201.
4. Any changes to the application we have just reviewed and approved,including but not limited
to alterations in the unit mix, sales price, development team,unit design or site plan, are subject

visit the site to ensure that the units meet program guidelines.
5. Local Initiative units in this development must be priced at levels affordable to buyers with a
range of incomes from 30%to 50%of area medium income.

market;
S...Based on the initial proposal,the project appears financially feasible on the basis of estimated
development costs;
6. The Town of Northampton and PVHCH meet.the general eligibility standards of LIP.
Because the Town of Northampton is the LIP project sponsor,the requirement under 760CMR 31.012(d)
is.assumed to have been met.

and bath.
C. Only one accessory apartment will be created within a single-family house or house lot.

The use will not unduly impair the integrity of character of the district or adjoining zones
because the density of housing from this project is lower than the existing neighborhood,
the design is compatible and the open space will contribute to the area.
The use will not be detrimental to the health,morals, or general welfare, and the use shall
be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Ordinance because the project
will provide home ownership opportunities to those otherwise forced out of the market.
G. The requested use promotes City planning objectives to the extent possible and does 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 by providing affordable housing and open space.
In reviewing the proposed project,the Zoning Board of Appeals voted 3:0 to approve the
following requested waivers:
1. 7.nnin,g 5-2., 810.5 11 —Comprehensive Permit instead of special permit and
site plan approval(required under MGL c.40B).
2. 7nning S 6.2C 1i stet—Frontage(lots could be made to meet zoning,but trail,
recreation area,open space,and size of affordable lot would all shrink).
3. Zoning 86.2 Cluster—None(unless viewed as six units,then waiver is needed for
lot size.
4. Zoning &6_2 C;huster and 6-3 1,and Donation—None(with land donation)or
reduction in frontage.
5. Suhdivisii)n Regnl_ ttions—Requirement for"subdivision if printed zoning frontage
not met. '
6. Any other waivers required to design project.
Conditions imposed upon the project are as follows:
1. Ten Thousand Dollars($10,000)of the sale proceeds from lot 1 shall be used to
capitalize the construction of a community playground on lot 3.
2. The City shall retain the right to pave the trail that is shown on the plans, in the
future,if needed.
CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
Pursuant to M.G.L. Chapter 40A,Section 11,I,Angela Dion,Board Secretary,hereby
certify that I delivered by hand, copies of this decision,to the Applicant and Owner on
January 31,2003.

Zoning Board Members present and voting were:Bob Riddle,Malcolm B. Smith and David
Narkewicz.
In Granting the Comprehensive Permit,the Zoning Board of Appeals found:
A. The requested use,to construct three single-family homes as affordable housing,each
with an accessory apartment,and two market rate single-family homes,protects adjoining
premises against seriously detrimental uses because the proposed project will preserve the
vast majority of the site as open space,will provide buffer strips to many of the abutters
and will prevent most of the land behind the abutting homes from being developed. The
project will improve and will not detract from the character of the surrounding suburban
residential neighborhood because a neighborhood tot/lot playground will be constructed
and only a small percentage of the site will be developed in an area with very pervious
sands. In addition,the location and design of the proposed project protects adjoining
properties from surface water drainage and other detrimental uses as depicted on plans
and information submitted with the application.
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 because a public walking trail will be created thus providing safe
access from Glendale Road to the parcel's frontage on Westhampton Road. A traffic
study was performed by Fuss&O'Neill,Inc. thit included driveway site distance and
site trip generation estimates. The study concluded that available stopping sight distance
to the east and west exceeds the acceptable minimums for intersection operations.
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 development will be clustered along the road and will preserve most of the
site thus avoiding all wetlands. In addition,the project provides a buffer from the
existing landfill and possible future expansions of the landfill for the neighborhood.
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 demands from the project are minor and will have minimal impacts on the City's
water system.
E. The requested use meets all special regulations set forth in Sections 5.2 & 10.5 of the
Zoning Ordinance as well as M.G.L.Chapter 40B(See Attachment A),
F. The requested use bears a positive relationship to the public convenience or welfare.
