6) There was to be a gate placed at the entrance to the lot to prevent the lot's use outside of
business hours. The gate is to be locked every evening after the last employee has left. There is
no gate.
7)There is no stop sign at the lot's intersection with Keyes St. as required, nor is there a
"Caution Bikepath" sign which was supposed to be under the stop sign.
After many months and numerous requests to the bank to complete all terms and transactions of
the settlement agreement, we are now turning to you to uphold the city's responsibility to ensure
that this project is brought into full compliance.
To my mind, the behavior of the Florence Savings Bank through its attorneys and executives is
thoroughly disappointing. It is now my experience that the Bank's actual practices are something
quite different from the trust-worthy, community-minded image their advertising would suggest.
The Florence Savings Bank,to my mind and that of my neighbors, is proving itself to be an
arrogant and largely disinterested member of this community. I intend to contact the local media
to make public the Bank's sorry conduct in these matters.
Please advise me as to what steps will be taken to remedy these many outstanding issues.
Sincerely,
Chip Kaye

Dear Mr. Patillo,
I am writing to ask that you, as the Northampton Building Inspector,enforce all of the conditions
imposed upon the Florence Savings Bank for the construction and operation of its Keyes Street
parking lot by the decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Site Plan Special Permit of
the Planning Board.
The Florence Savings Bank has failed to abide by the conditions placed upon the constru
its Keyes Street Parking lot as follows: ction of
1) The lot is illuminated on weekends and hours long past the daily hours agreed upon; they have
been on all night long. The lighting system was to be placed on a ti the lighting
each weekday evening by 7:30 p.m, mer which cut off
2) The bank has failed to place a deed restriction on the easterly portion of the property,
preserving it as open space.
3) The planted screening along the northern edge of the lot is not as indicated on the site plan
which was approved by the Planning Board. The planted buffer was to follow a curving line and
to be made up of a variety of different plant species. This requirement was specifically addressed
in public review in order to prevent the kind of sterile design(i.e. a straight line of a single plant
type)the bank has taken liberty to install.
4) There is no planted screening along the easterly edge of the lot as indicated on the site plan.
This screen was to be a continuation of the northern screen as described in item #3 above.
5)Recently, a large, unsightly shed was erected at the northeast corner of the lot. This shed was
never shown on the site plan or open to public comment during the review process. I question
whether the bank has the right to build such a structure and whether it complies with existing
Zoning statutes. The bank failed to take out a building permit for its construction.
