Planning Board - Decision City of Northampton
File No.: PL-2001-0008 Date:November 15,2000
F.The requested use bears a'posi8ve relat/onshlp to the public convenience or welfare and will not unduly Impair the integrity of
character of the district or adjoining zones. The use is not deblmental to the health,morals,or general welfare and is in harmony with
the general purpose and Intent of the Ordinance.
G.The requested use will promote City planning objectives to the extent possible and will not adversely affect those objectives,as
defined In City master or study plans adopted under M.G.L.Chapter4l,Section 81-C and D.
In addition,In reviewing the Site Plan,the Planning Board found the requested use complies with the following technical performance
standards:
1.Curb cuts onto streets are minimized because a common driveway will serve the three flag lots.
2.Pedestrian,bicycle and vehicular traffic are separated on site to the extent possible.
Section 6.13 Flag Lots. The Planning Board found each flag lot has:
1.met the requirements of the Table of Dimensional and Density Regulations,Section 6.2;
2.an access roadway with no curve having a radius of less than eighty(80)feet;
3.Configuration such that a circle with a diameter equal to one and one-half(11/2)times the minimum frontage required for a non-flag lot
in that district(187.5 feet)may be placed around the principal structure without any portion of said circle falling outside of the property's
line;
4.No more than three flag lots having abutting,contiguous street frontage. Said contiguous flag lots share one common curb-cut and
driveway access. Appropriate easements have been delineated on the Plot Plan and on the deeds to the lots,including a clear provision
for the responsibility for the maintenance of the common driveway,common utilities(if any)and snow removal,running with the land.
Said easements shall:
A.Become part of all of the deeds,and
B.Be recorded at the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds or Land Court:as applicable(proof of recording shall be submitted to the
Building Commissioner prior to the issuance of any building permits).
5.An access driveway which is of suitable construction,In the opinion of the Planning Board,for the access and,where applicable,the
turnaround for vehicles,including moving vans,ambulances,fire and police. Said driveways shall conform to all applicable provisions
of the Zoning Ordinance;
6.Plans submitted to the Planning Board under this Section shall be the same as the plan submitted to the Planning Board under the
Subdivision Control Law,and shall include the statement'Lot(s) Is a Rag Lot: building is permitted only in accordance with the
special Hag Lot Provisions of the Northampton Zoning Ordinance.'
7As required,the Special Permit application included a plan showing the location and layout of the proposed driveway and house and all
provisions for drainage and storm water run-off.
8.A Rag Lot Special Permit shall be deemed to have been exercised(and thereby shall not expire)when the Special Permit and endorsed
subdivision plans have been properly recorded at the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds.
The Planning Board found the project meets the criteria under Section 6.12 of the Zoning Ordinance as follows:
Section 6.12 Vehicular Egress/Access to a Lot and Common Driveways.
1.Said common driveway does not serve more than three(3)lots.
2.Sald common drive provides the only vehicular egress/access to the lots being served by it and this shall be so stated in the deeds to
the subject lots.
3.The grade,length and location of the common drive is of suitable construction,in the opinion of the Planning Board,for the access and
turnaround of the number and types of vehicles which will be utilizing such driveway. The driveway.
A Alas a width of at least fifteen(15)feet
B.Has passing tumouts providing a total width of at least 20 feet along a distance of at least 25 feet,spaced with no more than 300 feet
between turnouts,with the first such passing turnout being located within ten feet of the driveway connection to the street,

NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
Request for Special Permits with Site Plan Approval to create three flag lots,Special Permit for a common drive,and approval for a
second curb cut under Section 8.9(7).
HARDSHIP:
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
1) Approval is contingent upon DPW satisfaction and approval of revised plans for the retention ponds
and swales.
2) Approval is contingent upon the applicant clearly indicating in the deeds of the lots that the
stormwater management facilities are the responsibility of the lot owners and must be maintained in
operable condition and cleaned of sediment at least annually
3) The Declaration of Restrictions Regarding Road Maintenance(containing-the maintenance schedule)
is hereby Incorporated Into the permit by reference. The maintenance agreement must be amended to
clarify that the Inspections and the report must be completed by a professional engineer.
4) Approval is based on the following plans: 1) 'Plan of Land In Northampton,Massachusetts Prepared
for Bercume Builders,Inc.,'by Harold L.Eaton 8 Associates Inc.,dated July 13,2000 and revised

July 18,2000,July 25,2000,August 28,2000,September 25,2000 and October 23,2000.
FINDINGS:
In Granting the Special Permits with Site Plan Approval,the Planning Board found:
A.The requested use(three flag lots and a common driveway)protects adjoining premises against seriously detrimental uses because
flag lots are allowed by Special Permit In the Rural Residential(RR)zoning district,and the use of the property will be residential,in
keeping with the surrounding residential neighborhood. The applicant has included provisions for handling stormwater run-off from the
project as depicted on plans and information submitted with the Special Permit application.
B.The requested use will promote the convenience and safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement within the site and minimize traffic
impacts on the streets and roads In the area because the use of a common driveway to serve three house lots will minimize the number
of curb cuts onto city streets,thereby enhancing safety.
G The requested use promotes a harmonious relationship of structures and open spaces to the natural landscape,existing buildings and
other community assets In the area because the flag lots range from 2.4 to 6.4 acres In size,so considerable open space will be
maintained.
D.The requested use will not overload the CWs resources,Including the City's water supply and distribution system,sanitary and storm
sewage collection and treatment systems,fire protection,streets and schools.
E.The requested use meets all special regulations set forth In the Zoning Ordinance under Sections 6.12 and 6.13(See below for
additional criteria.)

RE: Denial of Variance to access four lots from approved common driveway at Coles
Meadow Road.Map3 Parcel 11
Mr. Bercume,
The Northampton Zoning Board of Appeals denied you a variance to access four lots
from an approved common driveway on March 22, 2001 (copy attached). As of today's
date you have failed to correct driveway to be in compliance with plan approved by the
Planning Board.
Please contact this office with your plans to correct the zoning violation.
