ATTACHMENT A
Village at Hospital Hill Phase 11 North Campus Preliminary Subdivision,
As Approved by the Northampton Planning Board
December 14, 2006
Conditions. _
1. Waivers will only be granted at the definitive stage if:
a. Turning movements for the Fire Department ladder truck can be accommodated.
Turns should be illustrated on definitive plans.
b. Department of Public Work signs off on the technical standards for waivers
relative to street design.
2. Hydrant spacing shall conform to Nat' fire standards.
3. Curb cuts for commercial lots should be shown in accordance with subdivision
regulations for the definitive filing.
4. All other rules in the subdivision standards shall be incorporated unless a waiver is
specifically requested.
5. A 10'wide pedestrian access abutting lot 1A should be built prior to the marketing of any
of these lots and a sign should be posted at"Olander Drive" indicating that public access
is located at that point.
6. Sidewalks shall be on both sides of the street along "Ford Crossing".
7. Formal waiver from providing a sidewalk along west side of"Musante Drive" must be
submitted.
8. The Definitive Plans shall show an additional bicycle/pedestrian connection in an east-
west direction to connect from the open space on the east edge of the campus to the
west boundary with the Community Gardens in a direct as possible manner. This should
be by a 10' wide sidewalk along "Moser Street" across the property or a 10' paved path
extending from the TRG path along "Olander"going west and cross-country to "Musante
Drive".
9. A crosswalk meeting ADA standards shall be designed to cross "Musante Drive"to
enable safe crossing for the bicycle/pedestrian path onto the Community Gardens parcel.
10. The applicant should study whether a round-about at the intersection of"Ford Crossing"
and Village Hill Road or"Moser"/Village Hill Rd. is an appropriate traffic calming
mechanism as discussed in previous reviews. This approval does not rule out the future
possibility that a round-about-or other traffic calming structure should be designed for
one of these intersections if there is a future subdivision phase. The rights-of-way in this
phase of design should be large enough to accommodate such structures.
11. Future build-out of"Olander Drive"should be designed with traffic calming or other
design features to minimize speeds.
12. As part of the submission of the definitive plans, the applicant shall look at making a safe
intersection of Prince/Burts Pit/"Musante"/Laurel Street. Three options shall be
considered and one selected. They are: lining up "Musante" St with Laurel, closing
Laurel between Prince and Rt. 66, or making Laurel a one-way street northbound and
making "Musante" one-way northbound.
