HARDSHIP: CONDITION OF APPROVAL: 1. All driveway runoff shall be directed on site and shall not flow onto Round Hill Road consistent with the DPW driveway permit. 2. Prior to any building permit, the applicant shall provide documentation to the Building Inspector that the Department of Public Works has approved curb cuts, trench permits,water availability and tie- in,and sewer availability and tie-in. The Planning Board makes no representations as to whether these permits will be approved. The Planning Board granted Site Plan Approval with requested waivers based on the following plans and information submitted on the plans: 1)."Plan of Land in Northampton,88 Round Hill Road",prepared by Heritage Surveys,Inc,with notations and site details by Hobie Iselin, dated PRELIMINARY August 31,2004. In granting approval of the Site Plan the Planning Board found: 1. The requested use protects adjoining premises against seriously detrimental uses,including mitigating stormwater runoff,sound and sight buffers and preservation of views,light and air. The creation of four residences within an existing building is consistent with other uses within the neighborhood. The proposed plantings between the parking area and the rear property line will screen this area from the abutting properties. 2. The requested use will promote the convenience and safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement within the site and on adjacent streets,minimize traffic impacts on the streets and roads in the area including the arrangement of parking and loading spaces,and provisions for persons with disabilities. The 4-unit condominium will be less intense than the existing 12-bedroom "dorm"used by the Clarke School. Walkways will be separated from the parking lot and provide safe pedestrian access across the property. The project,including any concurrent road improvements, will not decrease the level of service(LOS)of all area roads or intersections effected by the project below the existing conditions. 3. The requested use will promote a harmonious relationship of structures and open spaces to the natural landscape,existing buildings and other community assets in the area. Changes to the exterior of the house will be minor and thus not change the overall character of the structure within the neighborhood. Much of the mature landscaping on site will remain unchanged. 4. 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. The demands on water and sewer or other infrastructure demands will not increase from what uses existed on the site up to this point. GeoTMS®2004 Des Lauriers Municipal Solutions,Inc.
