The Planning Board granted the Special Permit for one flag lot and a cluster open space development with a common driveway based on the application,Including&*Mc counts by Pioneer Valley Planning Commission and the following plans submitted with the application: 1. "Turkey Hill Road Limited Development"stamped by Sara Campbell,PE,Dated March 6,2006. The Planning Board found: A.The requested use protects adJolning premises against seriously detrimental uses. Flag lots and cluster open space residential developments are allowed by special permit and are consistent with the devleopment of the ac(jolning parcels on Turkey Hill Road. The overall development with the open space protection will result In a smaller footprint of development than what could be developed GeoTMS®2006 Des Laurlers Municipal Solutions,Inc. Anthony Patillo Building Commissioner February 26, 2007 Page 2 The issue arises because as a matter of law a landowner cannot grant an easement to itself. Since Jedoron owns all three lots, it cannot grant itself the driveway easements called for in the decision. Therefore, those easements must await the deed to 636. However, under the purchase- sale agreement, the closing is to take place upon issuance of the building permit. Hence a "chicken-egg" conundrum. I would like to propose a reasonable solution to this issue by moving the requirements of condition 1 to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the first of the nine units. I can assure you that both the Agreement and the Easements will be recorded at the time of the conveyance to 636, long before 636 puts the first shovel into the ground. In the alternative, I would be willing to act as an Escrow Agent to hold the building permit pending the recording of the Agreement and the Easements. I would agree, in writing, not to release the building permit to 636 until and unless those instruments are recorded. As Escrow Agent, I would have the unconditional authority to release the building permit upon recording of both instruments. In that way, the City will be assured that the needed instruments are of record before the building permit is tendered to 636, and 636 will be assured of its building permit subject only to the recording of those instruments. I would be pleased to discuss this matter with you at any mutually convenient time. As always, thank you for your kind consideration of this matter.

("Jedoron"), which holds record title to three (3) lots on Turkey Hill Road, see Exhibit A, which are the subject of a Special Permit issued by the Planning Board on March 24, 2006. See Exhibit B. I am writing to you to try to resolve a conflict between condition 1 of the Special Permit and the agreement between my client and 636 Associates Construction Management, Inc. ("636"), the contract purchaser of Lot 3 as shown on Exhibit A. Lots 2 and 3, as shown on Exhibit A, will utilize a common driveway extending from the southerly sideline of Turkey Hill Road to the point at which those accessing Lot 2 turn to the west off the common driveway, and onto a driveway serving only Lot 2, which point is approximately 220 linear feet from the southerly sideline of Turkey Hill Road. See Exhibit C. As you undoubtedly know, these lots were approved as part of a development scheme that included the conveyance more than 120 acres of conservation land to the City of Northampton, which conveyance took place on January 12, 2007. The first condition of the Special Permit requires that "[p]rior to issuance of a building permit for any lots, the applicant must submit proof of recording of driveway maintenance agreements and easements." The form of the Driveway Maintenance Agreement has been agreed upon by both Jedoron and 636, and has been reviewed by Carolyn Misch. See Exhibit D. Similarly, the easements to accommodate the driveway are part of a more comprehensive scheme of easements serving several purposes. Those easements are to be granted or reserved by Jedoron, as the case may be, in the deed to 636. See Exhibit E.
