The zoning of the site is URA and the general area is comprised mostly of single family homes on a variety of lot sizes. The general area has been developed over the past 30 years. The site is directly opposite Ryan Road from the Ryan Road School. The land is mostly wooded and portions have been logged off over the last few years. In selecting the proposed cluster type subdivision, rather than a conven- tional subdivision, we wish to achieve the following goals: A. To provide affordable housing given the current housing market. B. The ability to reduce site improvement construction cost, thus keeping lot costs more affordable. C. To provide a mix of housing for first home buyers. D. To provide a variety of dwelling types intigrated with each other and with a significant area of common open space for passive recreation. i E. To maintain large open spaces particularly at high elevations. In the initial planning, we worked with the local residents and have incor- porated many of their suggestions as well as those of some of the Planning Board members. The propsal we submit follows directly in line with the suggestions of the Northampton Land Use Study Committee.
