FINDINGS: The Planning Board approved the request by Central Services Department for the City of Northampton for Site Plan Approval based upon the following information and plans submitted with the application: 1.

Modular Siding Trim Details Photographic Illustration. 3. Proposed Building Layout. In granting the Site Plan the Board determined that the criteria in 11.6 had been met: A. The requested use protects adjoining premises against seriously detrimental uses. The addition of the small office on the school grounds will be shielded from the abutting residential property with fast growing evergreen trees, overflow stormwater will be directed to existing infrastructure after infiltrating on site. B. The requested use will promote the convenience and safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement within the site and on adjacent streets. The building will share parking with JFK school- no additional parking is required. Bicycle storage has been provided. The building is accessible from the existing sidewalks that connect to Bridge Road and the abutting residential neighborhood.; and: C. The site will function harmoniously in relation to other structures and open spaces to the natural landscape, existing buildings and other community assets in the area as it relates to landscaping, drainage, sight lines, building orientation, massing, egress, and setbacks. The recreation office use brings the administrative function to JFK site from which many recreational programs are operated. 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.
