'� Application Narrative
705 Bridge Road
Satorpod Northampton, MA 01060
The Project:
We are proposing a 820SF, 2 bedroom, 2nd single-family home on the property. The home is styled
as a traditional New England home.
The 2nd single family home will be occupied by the homeowner's mother. The mother currently lives
in the primary home and this will be her living space.
Zoning Compliance
350-6.11 - Formed-based criteria for two-family and two
single-family homes.
A — General Standares
(A) 1 —The second unit will be heated and cooled entirely by a mini-split heat pump system.
No fossil fuels are being used in the new home.
(A) 2 —The proposed new small home is positioned at the side of the property, replacing the
existing garage, in a similar manner to the below example provided in the bylaw:
--;°\
44 Ott
B — Illustrative Examples
The new proposed home matches existing examples within Northampton and preserves the
character of the neighborhood.
• Application Narrative
705 Bridge Road
64.1.1 Northampton, MA 01060
The proposed home adheres to the required setbacks for zoning district URB. The project does
not alter the Build-to Zone or Building Frontage Occupancy dimensions.
C — Design Standards
C(1) - The proposed building has a single mass facing the Western abutter of 40.42' feet, which
is below the max of 50'. The front mass measures 20.04'.
C(1)b - The proposed building has massing that runs in different directions, as seen from the
street
C(2) — Building Frontage
C(2)a
The proposed home is set behind the existing home and is not within the build-to zone.
C(2)b
The two homes will have separate entrances.
C(2)c
The new home's front door opens into a mudroom and, hence, does not need a privacy
buffer. The new home's rear door opens towards the rear lot line. There is an existing
natural buffer of trees and vegetation to act as a privacy buffer.
C(3) - Parking/garage placement
A - General Parking
A(1) - We are not modifying any existing exterior parking. We are removing the existing
one car garage that is currently used exclusively for storage. The second home is going
to house the homeowners mother who currently lives on the property and no additional

traffic is anticipated.
A(2) - We are not modifying any existing exterior parking. We are removing the existing
one car garage that is currently used exclusively for storage. The second home is going
to house the homeowners mother who currently lives on the property and no additional
traffic is anticipated.
A(3) N/A
A(4) N/A
A(5) The structures of the existing dwelling and new dwelling will act as screening for car
headlights. A cars headlights while accessing the parking spots will hit the new dwelling
and the existing dwellings.
A(6) We are not requesting alternative parking configurations.
B - Detached Garage Design
We are not proposing a new detached garage.
C(4) Screening
A—The only external mechanical structure is the mini-split compressor and it is located
on the western side of the new home.
B — Refuse containers continue to be screened from the public way via the mudroom
space.
C — No trees are being removed or impacted by this project.

Additional City Criteria for Approval :
Will protect adjoining premises from seriously detrimental uses.
The proposed home will not be visible by the eastern abutters and is positioned to maximize privacy
from the western abutter. The southern abutter is a cemetery. It is not expected to have any impact
on adjoining premises.
Will minimize and mitigate traffic impacts.
The home will add 0 additional car traffic impacts to Bridge Road.
Promote a harmonious relationship of structures and open space.
We chose the location to maximize use of existing infrastructure on the property, preserve the
backyard, and minimize visual disturbances.
Protect the general welfare.
This project protects the general welfare by creating a new, high-quality dwelling unit in
Northampton. It will prevent an elderly Northampton resident from entering the already overheated
rental and housing market, while allowing them to be close to their family.
Avoid overloading and mitigate impacts on City resources.'
The project will add a 2 bedroom sewer load to the city sewer system. The ADU will draw from
the property's existing utilities.
As a 2-bedroom home, it is not expected to impact the load of schools. The space is intended for the
mother of the homeowner and visiting family.
Promote city planning objectives (see Sustainable Northampton. Open Space
Plan, and Transportation Plan).
The project gently increases density while minimizing the impact on open space.
Meet all zoning requirements.
We believe our proposal is compliant with all relevant zoning requirements.
