HARDSHIP: - J CONDITION OF APPROVAL: FINDINGS: The Board denied the request for an additional driveway curb cut onto Bridge Road based on the following plans submitted for review: 1. Northampton Rehabibiliation and Nursing Home Center Site Improvements. Prepared by Huntley Associates,PC, dated September 2005,Revised October 2005. Sheets 1-11. 2. Northampton Nursing&Rehabilitation Center Drainage Report.Prepared by Huntley Associates,PC. The Board denied the request based on the fact that there was not sufficient enough information to prove that the standards in the Northampton Zoning Ordinance section 8.9(7)had been met. Specifically: "The Planning Board may,as part of Site Plan Approval,allow additional driveways/curb cuts if and only if such Permit will promote and improve safe and efficient traffic circulation. Though the other improvements on site would improve site deficiencies, the Board could not find that relocating the existing curb cut to the west of the Hatfield Street intersection and making this access one-way, while adding a full access driveway to the east of Hatfield Street would improve safe and efficient traffic circulation. The Board determined that too many queue conflicts would arise between the offset in the portion of Hatfield Street south of Bridge Road and eastbound traffic on Bridge Road. The Board further determined that one full service access point in the location shown on the plans east of the Hatfield Street intersection (across from 754 Bridge Road)would ultimately improve safety and there was no compelling reason relative to vehicular safety or traffic flow to create an entry-only access west of Hatfield Street.
