RE: Beaver Brook Estates
Amended Preliminary Subdivision Plan CLERKS �FFlCE
MA 01060
Grove Avenue & Evergreen Road
Northampton, MA
HSI Job #3923-980831
Dear Planning Board Members:
We are re-submitting sixteen (16) prints and seven (7) 11"x17' reduced scale
prints of a plan entitled, Amended Preliminary Subdivision Plan, sheet 1 of 1, dated
January 23, 2002, revised February 4, 2002, prepared for Beaver Brook Estates,
Northampton, Massachusetts, as a result of a meeting between Wayne Feiden, Carolyn
Misch, William Cannon and myself to clarify the lot layout requirements. In the planning
staff review of the plan dated January 23, 2002 there were questions as to the proposed
lot layout show on this plan. The definition of Lot Layout within section 2.0 states, "In
addition to the minimum lot area, depth, width and frontage requirements, lots shall be
laid out in such a manner so that a square, with sides equal to the minimum frontage
requirement for the zoning district in which it is located, can be placed within the lot with
at least one point of the square lying on the front lot line with no portion of the square
extending beyond the boundaries of the lot." After clarification of the definition a
revised plan was created, which is the plan dated February 4, 2002, being submitted with
this letter. The plan dated February 4, 2002 now meets the lot layout definition and the
lot depth requirement as stated within the Zoning Ordinance. The revised plan now
shows forty-nine (49) lots, as an Open Space Residential Development.
We are submitting a copy of this letter along with the revised plan dated February
4, 2002 to the Northampton City Clerk for their files.
Please contact this office if you should have any questions or comments relative
to the above.
Sincerely,
Mark P. Reed
