NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
Convert existing in home family day care to stand alone day care facility.
HARDSHIP:
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
FINDINGS:
The Planning Board voted to approve the conversion of the single family home with in-home family day care to a stand alone day care
center based on the information provided with the application and statements made during the hearing.
In approving the site plan,the Board found that the criteria in 350-11.6 had been met as follows:
A. The requested use protects adjoining premises against seriously detrimental uses.If applicable,this shall include provision for surface
water drainage,sound and sight buffers and preservation of views,light,and air,No site changes are proposed. The existing yard area
currently used for the day care will remain. All changes will occur inside only.
B. The requested use will promote the convenience and safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement within the site and on adjacent
streets,cycle tracks and bike paths,minimize traffic impacts on the streets and roads in the area.If applicable,this shall include
considering the location of driveway openings in relation to traffic and adjacent streets,cross-access easements to abutting parcels,
access by public safety vehicles,the arrangement of parking and loading spaces,connections to existing transit or likely future transit
routes,and provisions for persons with disabilities,and:
(1) The Planning Board may allow reduced parking requirements in accordance with§350-8.6,Shared parking. Staff note:there seems to
be ample available public parking on the street and at the adjacent school lot.
(2) The project,including any concurrent road improvements, will not decrease the level of service(LOS)of all area City and state roads
or intersections affected by the project below the existing conditions when the project is proposed and shall consider the incremental
nature of development and cumulative impacts on the LOS. The project proponent must demonstrate that all cumulative and incremental
traffic impacts have been mitigated.If those impacts are not mitigated,the Planning Board shall require in-lieu-of payments to fund a
project's proportional share of necessary improvements to mitigate off-site traffic impacts,including provision of public transit and
pedestrian or bicycle paths,in lieu of requiring off-site improvements. URB Zoning Districts=$1,000 per peak trip.
Based on the hours of operation,the number of new trips generated would not be during the peak hour period and therefore not
negatively drop the level of service on area roads. The neighborhood abuts the high school and parking lot for that school and handles
much greater volumes during school arrival and departure times.
It was demonstrated that there is ample public parking within the vicinity on street as well as in the overflow parking lot for Northampton
High School.
(3)Access by nonmotorized means must be accommodated with facilities such as bike racks,sidewalk connections from the building to
the street,cycle tracks,and bike paths that are clearly delineated through materials and/or markings to distinguish the vehicular route
