FROM: COUNCILOR GEORGE BITZAS
SUBJECT: OUTDOOR DINING TOR-2011-3
DATE: SEPTEMBER 1, 2011
I wanted to cla.6fy the reasons why I withdrew my Outdoor Dining Ordinance.
I met with the City Solicitor the morning after the Zoning & Ordinance
Workshop to discuss amending the above-referenced ordinance to ensure that
proper language was utilized. Accordingly, I was told that by law this ordinance
should not be amended and should be withdrawn. He suggested starting from
the beginning and re-writing a new ordinance. I requested that he put this 'in
writing and I am attaching that information for your convenience. His email
should provide an explanation of his legal opinion.
If you have any questions regarding tf�s issue, please call the City Solicitor or as
always you can contact me.

Withdrawl.of Zoning Plroposal
From - Vince Gios6a<--,olicitor@agawaMmauS> Wed,Aug 31, 201106:53 PM
Subject Withdrawl of Zoning Proposal
To <GEP50@CoMcaSLUet>
Councilor Bitzas:
The item should be withdrawn so that.there is sufficient time to draft the new ordinance.The
new ordinance may be substantially different from the ordinance currently on the council
docket,as such it would require resubmission to the Planning Board. The process for drafting an
ordinance requires various town departments to review and have sufficient time to comment
upon the ordinance. Also,the council must hold a public hearing within 65.days after the zoning
proposal has been submitted to the Planning Board. The drafUng and reviewpirocess may take
longer than that Furthermore,the new ordinance would have to be submittL-d to the Planning
Board for review as the "changes'would fundamentally after the ordinance enough to warrant a
new hearing and review by the Planning Board. Amending the current ordinance would not
allow for the needed public hearings to be held by the Planning Board to seek comment from
interest parties before the Planning Board.
Therefore,because of the nature of the.requested changes involved in redrailting the ordinance
the amendment process is insufficient""If the identity-6f the zoning proposal is utterly changed
by an attempted amendment by Town Wideting,the Planning Board must hold a new public
hearing and submit a new reporL Fish v. Canton,322 Mass.219(1948). In my opinion any
amendment to address the concerns of the working group that met on August 30,2011 would
radically and fundamentally depart from the original'proposal. Therefore, it is my opinion that
the matter be withdrawn and a new ordinance submitted for consideration after the drafting
-process is complete.

Barbara,
Here is the information that you asked for....I hope this will help!
Our Zoning Ordinance does not restrict outdoor dining. There is no difference between
outdoor seating and outdoor dining. The License Commission issues the permit-,
however, the requests follow a procedure that goes through the Planning Board.
If you need further information, please feel free to contact me. And please give my
regards to Councilor Bitzas.
Thank you

The Health Dept. does not issue permits for outside dining. The licensing dept. would issue a
special permit on a case by case basis, primarily if there is any alcohol serving/consumption. If it
is held at a food establishment, there need not be a permit. Hope that helps.

A. Application
L The application shall give the name of the business applying for the tables and'
chairs location, the owner or manager of same, and the proposed location for said
tables and chairs.
2. The application shall include a photograph or graphic design and a detailed sketch
of the tables and chairs indicating all dimensions and locations relative to the
sidewalk.
B. Location Criteria
Pedestrian and vehicular traffic shall not be impeded or obstructed.
2. The sidewalk width (including concrete and brick pavers) adjacent to the location
of the proposed tables and chairs must be sufficient to allow the designated
minimum clearance for pedestrian and wheelchair traffic. The standard minimum
clearance citywide is 5 feet, except for the busier pedestrian locations in the
downtown business district. These exceptions are listed below with the
corresponding minimum clearance widths.
Street Side Segment Minimum
clearance
Main North State to Masonic 5.5 ft

Bridge Both _J_All 8.0 ft
Page I of 3
..........
Measurement of the minimum clearance is as follows:
In-cases where end seating(chairs backing into the pedestrian-traffic)-is-_
allowed, and there is no barricaded enclosure, the distance is marked from 2
feet beyond the outermost edge of the table' to the inside edge of the curb or
the closest obstacle(e.g., trash receptacle, light pole,bicycle rack, fire
hydrant,newspaper box),whichever is most restrictive.
In cases where end seating isn't allowed and there is not a barricaded
enclosure, the distance is measured from 0.5 ft beyond the table to the inside
edge of the obstacle.
In cases where there is a barricaded enclosure,the distance is marked
from the barricade to the inside edge of the obstacle.
In cases where there is a split level sidewalk(e.g., southeast end of Main
St.), the minimum clearance may be met by adding the individual clearances
for each level. However,under no circumstances can the single-level

Agawam City Council sends outdoor dining proposal back to
committees
Published: Tuesday, August 09, 2011, 9:22 AM

LIBy
AGAWAM - Agawam city councilors favor allowing restaurants to have wait
service outdoors, but have tabled a proposed ordinance until they can
implement strong controls to protect abutters.
Councilors voted 7-2 recently to send a proposal by City Councilor George
Bitzas back to the board's zoning and ordinance committees. They want those
committees to take a closer look at the proposal in concert with the Planning
Board. File photo
George Bitzas
Planning Board members share the sentiments of councilors, having rejected
Bitzas' proposal even though members said they favor outdoor restaurant
service.
They expressed concerns that allowing outdoor restaurant service by right might cause problems and prefer
it be allowed by special permit instead.
."We need more ability to control this sort of thing," City Councilor Jill S. Messick said. "I think special permit
might be a good idea from a legal standpoint."
City councilors Robert E, Rossi and Gina M. Letellier echoed those views.
"No one is opposed to outdoor dining," Rossi said, expressing concern that music may be played outdoors
until as late as 2 a.m. "We don't live in this community all by ourselves."
"You have to be careful about how our neighbors are treated," Letellier said, advocating for the special
permit process.
Letellier went on to say that she was "really disappointed" no one from the Planning Board came to the City
Council's public hearing and its subsequent discussion Monday. No one from the public commented on the
proposal.

For his part, Bitzas expressed frustration, arguing that his proposal is fine as written and does not allow
outdoor entertainment after 11 p.m.
Bitzas comp(ained that the Planning Board wants to issue the special permit.
"You are going to have another board tell us how to do our job," Bitzas said.
"We've had months to review this,"said City Councilor Robert A. Magovern. He, along with Bitzas, cast the
two votes opposed to tabling the matter.
"We're all in favor of it, George. There is no question," City Councilor Dennis I Perry said,

Agawam, MA 01001 W In
Dear Councilor Rheault:
At its duly called meeting held on July 21, 2011, the Agawam Planning Board voted 4-0
to send a negative recommendation to the Town Council concerning TOR-2011-3, a
proposed amendment to the Agawam Zoning Ordinance allowing outdoor dining. The
Planning Board is fully in favor of outdoor dining in Agawam. The Board, however, is
concerned that by allowing the use by right it will not fully protect abutters to such uses.
In conducting research, the Board has found that other communities that allow outdoor
diningdo so through the Special Permit process. The Special Permit process will not
only provide more flexibility when reviewing outdoor dining proposals, but will also
provide the permit granting authority with a more legally defensible position. Since each
restaurant has its own specific set of conditions (i.e., size, location, and available space�
they should be evaluated individually and permits should be tailored to each individual
location.
A,gain, the Board wishes to emphasize that it supports effort's to promote outdoor dining
in Agawam. The Board only recommends that by using the Special Permit process, the
Town will be better able to ensure that each unique situation can be more adequately
addressed.
Sincerely,

Chairman Magovem read the Agenda item. Councilor Letellier spoke against this as did
Councilor Magovem. Councilor Cichetti stated that after doing more research that he
was against this item moving for-ward. Henry Kozloski spoke regarding a
reimbursement. The life of the program is $3.1 million. The interest we receive from
this money is unused too. The open classroom is at 50/50 because it was put in motion
prior to the reduction of the percentage reimbursement. The bill HB765/HB 1841 will
allow use of rehabilitation and an increase to 75%. We were never guaranteed one
hundred percent.
