DECISION OF / NJ3 2 I 19135
NORTHAMPTON PLANNING BOARD j
..I1
At a meeting held on August 15, 1985, the North mptt.' ; .,,,H,, 01060
la
Board, in accordance with the provisions of Section ±0.1e -peLT. Te-Lm11.)
of the Northampton Zoning Ordinance, voted unanimously to dj the
Special Permit request of Martin Bereziri, 667 Main Street, Holyoke, MA,
to construct 21 townhouse units on property located off of the southerly
side of Riverside ➢r' (Parcel 194 of Sheet 23D of the Northampton
Assessor's aps under the provisions of Section 5.2 (#6), Page 5.2 of the
Northampton Zoning Ordinance.
The findings were as follows:
A. That the requested use is listed in the Table of Use
Regulations as a Special Permit;
B. That the requested use does not bear a positive relationship
• to the public convenience for reasons stated below;
C. That the requested use will create undue traffic congestion
and impair pedestrian safety within the development itself and
specifically on either side of the existing buidlings due to
the close proximity of the driveways to the side entrances;
D. That the requested use will overload the existing drainage
and sewer systems (ref. letter from P.J. McNulty, Sr. , Acting
Director of Public Works dated 7/29/85);
E. That no special regulations for the requested use as set forth
in Article XI apply;
F. That the density (number of units) of the proposed development,
despite the fact that it conforms to the maximum density allowed by
Special Permit as set forth iri the Northampton Zoning Ordinance, would
have an adverse effect upon the neighborhood, thus impairing
the integrity and character of said neighborhood, which consists
of predominantly single family dwellings, with some two or
three family structures.
The Planning Board wished to elaborate on the above issues by
finding that:
1. The proposed connection of the development's sanitary sewer to
the City's sewer main on Milton Street will not be allowed by
the City's DPW (ref. letter from P.J. McNulty, Sr. , Acting Direc-
tor of Public Works, dated 7/29/85 to Planning Board Chairman
George Tobin).
2. The proposed drainage will pond at the lowest part of the site
and ponding may extend into adjacent land (ref. letter from
P. J. McNulty, Sr, DPW, dated 7/29/85).
3. The existing driveways a)are too close to existing building
entrances for the proposed traffic volume, b) are too narrow
even for one-way traffic and c) should be at 90° angle to
Riverside Drive (ref. letter from P.J. McNulty, Sr. , DPW,
dated 7/29/85).
