RE: Zoning Permit Application - Northampton Volkswagen & Country Hyundai
347 King Street, Northampton, MA 01060
Dear Mr. Hasbrouck,
On behalf of Cosenzi Automotive Realty L.P., Associated Builders, Inc., respectfully submits the following
documentation for a Zoning Permit Application for the redevelopment of 347 King Street in Northampton,
Massachusetts:
• Zoning Permit Application.
• Filing fee in the form of a check made payable to the City of Northampton for $15.
• Survey plan provided by Heritage Surveys, Inc. dated October 23, 2012.
• Layout & Materials plan provided by Associated Builders, Inc. dated October 30, 2012.
The proposed redevelopment will consist of demolition of the existing ±90,130sf Kollmorgen facility and
construction of (2) new automobile dealerships, Northampton Volkswagen (18,421 sf) and Country Hyundai.
(17,812sf). The proposed project will include earthwork, new utility services (sewer, domestic water, fire
protection, electrical, telephone /data, gas) and a stormwater management system, new paved parking areas, site
lighting and improved landscaping. As shown on the enclosed zoning permit application, the proposed project
will significantly increase green space throughout the site and the overall impervious areas will be decreased.
The proposed building construction will be non - combustible, Type I13 per the Massachusetts State Building
Code. Both buildings will have concrete floor slabs on grade with associated foundations and footings, pre -
engineered metal building structural systems, exterior walls consisting of a mix of composite exterior wall panels,
vertical metal panels, masonry block, windows and doors and a membrane roof. Construction will also include
interior finishes and mechanicals, such as heating and ventilation, sprinkler system, fire alarm system, electrical
and lighting systems, and plumbing. The facilities will be utilized as new car dealerships and will have ancillary
uses such as used car sales, service and parts storage. Per the Massachusetts State Building Code, the use groups
will be B, Business, S -1, Moderate Hazard Storage and S -2, Low Hazard Storage. This use appears to be an
allowed use in the Highway Business Zoning District per Section 350 -5 of the Zoning Ordinance that will require
site plan approval with the Planning Board.
We look forward to working with the Office of the Building Commissioner and the Office of Planning and Development on
this project. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
