RE: 36 Round Hill Road
Renovations and Deep Energy Retrofit Project
To Whom It May Concern:
Please find attached the following information that is being submitted as part of a building permit application for
proposed renovations to the old McAlluster Infirmary building located at 36 Round Hill Road.
1. Two copies of plans for the proposed renovations signed and stamped by Siegfried Porth, Architect, 9 pages
each dated 7/31/09
2. Site Plan for this property prepared by Berkshire Design Group
3. Completed Building Permit Application Form
4. Construction Control Affidavit signed and stamped by Siegfried Porth, Architect
5. Chapter 34 Investigation and Evaluation report for this project, 9 pages
6. Copies of the decision letters issued by the Planning Board covering the proposed work
7. Copy of a receipt from Charles S. Baldwin for work done in 2007 to construct a new paved driveway for this
building.
8. A check to the City of Northampton in the amount of $1,166.00 submitted as payment for the permit fee
Work on this project will be executed in two phases. The first phase, which is covered in this permit application, will
include the creation of a three- bedroom apartment on the main floor with minor renovations to the main common
entry. New electric service entrances for five separately metered electric services will be installed along with a
complete automatic fire suppression system for the new apartment, common front hall and for the entire
garage /storage area located in the basement under the new residential unit. A backflow preventer and distribution
manifold to support expansion of the fire suppression system to cover the remainder of the building will be installed
under this first scope of work as well as a monitored alarm system connected to the fire suppression system.
HFP has been retained to provide design/build services for the fire suppression system and Joseph Cebula Inc. of
Chicopee has been retained to provide design /build services for the monitored alarm system. Both of these vendors
will make application for all permits required for their respective trades and each will provide a narrative and
complete plans for these life safety systems.
The receipt from Charles Baldwin is submitted to demonstrate that work on this project was commenced within the
time period prescribed in the Planning Board Special Permit that allowed for the creation of a separate lot for this
building and for the conversion of this structure for use as four residential units.
Please contact me at 413 -588 -8975 if you need any further information or have any questions on this application.

to residential uses will result in reduction of access for Clarke School property from Round Hill Road in this vicinity. Common
driveways will only serve residential
uses compared to the previous condition where the driveway served Clarke School and single family residences. There will be a
reduction in paved area on site. The
incremental increase in traffic mitigation will be addressed through a payment -in -lieu of mitigation meeting the criteria in section 11.6.
C. The requested use will have a positive effect on the relationship of structures and open spaces to the natural landscape, existing
buildings and other community
assets in the area. The infirmary will only be modified on the interior. Additional open space will be created as part of the zero lot line
requirements in section 10.14.
All existing driveways will be used and reconfigured to serve the existing buildings.
D. The requested use will not overload the City's resources including the effect on the City's water supply and distribution system,
sanitary and storm sewage
collection and treatment systems, fire protection, streets and schools. The applicant has offered to pay $4,000 into the city's traffic
mitigation fund in lieu of
contructing mitigation.
E. The requested use meets all the special regulations set forth in the Zoning Ordinance as listed in Sections 5.2, 6.2 for multi- family,
common driveways and access
to a lot over a side lot line. A waiver was granted for a sight impervious fence as allowed in section 10.14 for lot 3. All other criteria in
10.14 for creation ofa zero lot

NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
Convert Clarke infirmary to a 4 -unit residential building. Create common driveway to serve two lots (one zero lot line lot) and convert
existing access to serve
Leonard" House.
HARDSHIP:
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
FINDINGS:
The Board approved the conversion of the Clarke School infirmary to four residential units with common driveway and side lot
access for Leonard House. The site
plan will result in the creation of three new parcels that will be carved out of the main Clarke School property. Lot 3 will be a zero lot
line single family home without a
sight impervious fence.
The Board based its decision on the following plans and information submitted with the application.
Clarke Infirmary Site Plan" Prepared by The Berkshire Design Group, Inc. Sheet 1. Dated October 12, 2006, Revised 10/19/06.
2. Graphics of the front and rear elevations showing only egress options as building changes.
3. "Photometric Study", Clarke Infirmary Conversion, dated 10/16/06 prepred by The Berkshire Design Group, Inc.
The Board found:
A. The requested use protects adjoining premises against seriously detrimental uses. Conversion of the infirmary to residential uses
is compatible with the residential
uses along Round Hill and in the rear on Langworthy Road. The Board determined that a fence waiver from section 10.14 was
appropriate for lot 3 due to the location
of the open space and the structure on lot 2.
B. The requested use will have no effect on the convenience and safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement on adjacent streets.
The conversion of the infirmary

line lot have been met or will be met through conditions.
F.The Planning Board found that the application complied with the following technical performance standards:
1. The curb cuts are minimized as a common driveway will serve one single family house lot and one 4 -unit lot from an exisitng 20'
wide curb cut. The other existing
20' wide curb cut will serve Leonard House with no changes.
