PLAN REVIEW
Scale: 1" = 16' Date: April 25, 2014
Title Block (Street Address, Applicant's Name, Address, Scale, Name of Preparer of Plan):
Only a floor plan has been submitted.
Description of Project: 60,000 sq.ft. of the building is currently used for a flea market on
Sundays (also approved for Sat.). The remainder of the building is proposed to be used to
house three additional businesses as follows:
• •
• Baitus Salaam Church -6,000 sq .ft.
• Artistic Floors -26,000 sq.ft.
• Clarke Collectibles -3,000 sq.ft.
Description of Site: The majority of the site is currently developed with a 97,000 sq.ft.
industrial building and associated parking. The south east corner of the site is undeveloped
and there are wetlands to the north. Work currently being conducted on north side of the
building may come under jurisdiction of Conservation Commission.
Provision for Traffic Flow: Unchanged.
Parking: Unchanged.
Drainage: Unchanged.
Public Utilities: Unchanged.
landscaping/Screening and Buffers: Unchanged. The earlier approved site plan included
the following requirement: All plantings must be maintained and that portion of the public
way abutting the parcel and including the treebelt shall be maintained in a safe and
attractive condition by the owner of the parcel. Currently, the treebelt area is primarily dirt
and it needs to be established with lawn or other low growing vegetation.
Sign Location: Elevation of the proposed sign should be submitted.
Exterior Ughtlng: Unchanged.
Rendering or Elevations: Unchanged.
Dumpster Location: If additional dumpsters are required, a plan showing their location
must be provided. All dumpsters must be fenced, gated and screened.
other Comments or Concerns: Parking is the most serious concern with this proposal. The
flea market utilizes all of the parking spaces on Sundays. They are also permitted to be
opened on Saturdays. The future tenants will not have parking spaces available on either of
these days. Tenants should not be open on these days. The Special Permit for the flea
market should also be amended to require vendors to park at the Southworth site.
To better be able analyze the parking, the following information should be provided:
Baitus Church -size of congregation and days/hours of operation
Artistic Floors -26,000 sq.ft. -How much of space is retail? Hours of operation
Clarke Collectibles -Will there be any retail space?

Subject: 270 Main Flea Market
Hi,
I spoke to the permitting division of MassDot this AM. They had previously, informally, told the owner of the flea market (Tracey
Bryson) that they would not require the installation of a crosswalk. I explained that there were a lot of cars parking in the
Southworth parking lot and expressed my concerns over the safety of those crossing the road. They will be requesting that
Tracey formally submit an application for a crosswalk which will then be reviewed by their Engineering Department. They do not
know at this time whether they will require a crosswalk, but will keep us informed.

Just thought r'd share what Sundays look like on Main Street now around noon time. Feel
like I'm in big e traffic. So many people crossing it takes almost 5-10 mins to get past
out newest wonderful business in town. This has been consistent the past 3 Sundays

the proposed change of use. A finding by the ZBA that the project is not more
detrimental to the neighborhood is required. It should also be noted that the
project is being proposed as a mall or retail shopping center which should be

traffic at that location.

Pam,
Page 1 of 1
Attached is a scan of our memo for tonight. I split the memo into 3 sections, the first 3 comments are required. The next two
are recommended but not required and the last 6 have been addressed. So it looks worse than it is.
They should be able to make the 3 required edits there at the meeting. I've attached a copy of the turning movement template
for a large truck for reference. I believe the fire dept. trucks have a similar turning radius.

Hi Erik,
It is my understanding that Tracy has hired police to escort patrons of the flea market across Main Street on Sundays. The
Planning Board voted to approve the project conditional upon Engineering comments attached. The Engineering comments
require a crosswalk if the parking lot across the street is to be used. Tracy should initiate this process with DOT. Thank you.

Kevin,

Per our conversation, Engineering has the following comments on this revised plan for 270 Main Street:
1. The walkway needs to stay at or below 5% grade or it will need to either be reconstructed or meet
ADA/ AAB standards for a ramp (railings, landing areas, etc.). Engineering can take a look at the gravel
grade before you pave if you would like, however, paving is not as precise as concrete, so extra care will
need to be made during construction.
2. The accessible spaces will need to be the same width as the standard parking spaces.
3. The first parking space closest to Main Street needs to moved further away from the entrance. There is
a concern that vehicles backing out of this space could potentially cause an accident to occur with
vehicles entering the site or with vehicles on Main Street.
4. The area in front of the building needs to be in compliance with the sight distance plan prepared by
Fuss and O'Neill. Fuss and O'neill or other professional engineer will need to certify that the sight
distance requirement has been met prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy.
You may want to check with Erik Wight, the building inspector, to see if he has any other questions or issues
with the proposal. I have included him in this email.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Michelle C. Chase, P .E.

Michelle, I am working on this site, offering a sketch solution for a revised H/C entry walk system. Generally
speaking we are basing our solution on a 4' wide sloping sidewalk, max slope of 5%, a ramp is NOT proposed.
Please review the attached SK and give me a call with questions/comments. The Owner is hoping to dig/pave

Attached is a scan of our memo for tonight. I split the memo into 3 sections, the first 3 comments are required. The next two
are recommended but not required and the last 6 have been addressed. So it looks worse than it is.
They should be able to make the 3 required edits there at the meeting. I've attached a copy of the turning movement template
for a large truck tor reference. I believe the fire dept. trucks have a similar turning radius.

could be put back with a sign indicating "Police Parking Only". This is acceptable to Engineering.
3. Engineering has reviewed the revised plan which changes the Cooper Street driveway to entrance only.
This is acceptable with the following conditions:

plans to expand parking, the crosswalk ·.design will need to be approved by both the Agawam
Engineering DiVision and MassDOT.
6. The applicant has agreed to install erosion and sediment control measures as needed on site. Please
replace note #1 in the Storm Water Management section on the plans with ''Erosion and sediment .
controls to be installed as needed. ..

Pam,

Attached is a scan of our memo for tonight. I split the memo into 3 sections, the first 3 comments are required. The next two
are recommended but not required and the last 6 have been addressed. So it looks worse than it is.
They should be able to make the 3 required edits there at the meeting. I've attached a copy of the turning movement template
for a large truck for reference. I believe the fire dept. trucks have a similar turning radius.

Engineering has reviewed the plan entitled, ''Change of Use -Industrial to Mercantile -270 Main Street,

ArchitcctslPlanncrs, 121 Chestnut Street, Springfield, MA 01103; Sc:ale: 1" = 50'; Dated: 4118113," and we
have the following comments:
Engineering has not received a revised plan since the IIleu;LO sent to planning on May 2ad, 2013. Additional
comments to our memo have been addedlrevised below.
1. A sight distance study was completed for the project site by Fuss & O'Neill Inc. on April 29, 2013.
After reviewing the study, Engineering agrees with their findings. The slope located to the north of the
site entrance must be cut back in order to achieve the requiIed minimum sight distance at that
ibtcrsection. The property owner is aware of this requirement.
a The necuMljl work required to meet the minimum sighJ distance must be shown on the approved
plan. Utilities may need to be adjusted to meet minimum cover requirements. Also, once the
work Is complete, the sight distance must be re-checked and signed off and by a Professional
Engineer.
2. Engineering recommends that the first two parlring spaces at the site entrance (located on the right of an
incoming car) be removed or relocated. These S)IIICCS may pose a safety hazard via cars bal:king out of
the space into incoming traffic.
3. According to conversations with the property owner, it is Engineering's understanding that the site
entrance off of Cooper Street will not be used due to sight distance constraints, but this area will Still be
used for vendor parking. The property owner is to verify that there is sufficient room in that area for
vendor's vehicles to turn around safely. Also, signs and/or markings should ·OO used to desigoate this
area as vendor parking.
a Due to sighJ distance issItes, access to Cooper StrUt must be adequately blocked off to preve1Jl
vehicles from e1Jlering and exiting the site from this location at all times.
4. Details of each accessible entrance ramp are highly recommended to reduce the chances of having to
reconstruct in the field.
S. The following note shall be added to the plans: "Handicapped parking spaces shall have a pitch of not
more than 2%."
• • 6. The sign for each accessible parking space is to be retroreflective with white lettering against a blue
background with the verbiage specified in MGL C.40 S22A: "Handicapped P8rking: SpcciaI Plate
Required Unauthorized Vehicles May Be Removed at Owner's Expense." The placements of the signs
lIe to be in accordance with AAB 521 CMR 23.00. See attached detail.
a. This detail shall be anacluJd to tluJ plans.
7. If, in the future, the owner expands site parking to a property across Main Street, a crosswalk shall be
required at the high point of the road so as to provide the maximum sight distance in both directions.
a. The crosswalk destgn will need to be approved by both the Agawam Engineering Division and
MassDOT. Adequale pavement markings. signage. etc. will need to be installed prior to any use
of the Southworth porlcing lot.
8. Engineering has reviewed the drainage calculations for the proposed infiltration chamber for the project
site. Post-construction stormwater calculations for the 2. 10 and 100 year rainfall events were analyzed
and thC infil1r8lion system seems to be adequately sized.
9. The depth to groundwater needs to be verified for the infiltration chamber.
Do The bottom of tluJ i1!filtratioll system will need to be aI least two feet aboYe tM fDf1fUDl high
grollllliwater e/evat/oll.
10. The proposed catch basin should be a deep sump basin to prevent clogging of the infiltration chamber.
Tbe ca1ch basin sbaIl be inspected annually and after every storm event. SediriJent sball be removed
from the basin when the sump is 50% full.
11. The applicant should contact MassDOT for any necessary permits or approvals. All signage shall meet
current MUTeD standards.
12. There is a concern about the amount of traffic this site may have on the nearby streets, particularly at
closing time when many vehicles may be leaving at once. A police officer may be needed to bc:lp direct
traffic at the site entrance.
13. Erosion and sediment control measures shalI be insta1led as needed on site.
14. There is a section ofpa~t along the south side of the parking lot that is wssbing out. The plans
need to show the proposed work in this area.
1 S. Any steep sections of pavement that could be hazardous to vehicles shalI be either removed or
adequately blocked with jersey barriers or other approved blocking methods.
Engineering reserves the right to submit additional comments as new information is submitted. P1ease do not
hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Subject: Proposed development at 270 Main Street, Agawam, MA
Dear Director Dachas,
This memo serves to state that the Agawam Fire Department currently has no safety concerns
regarding the proposed plan for 270 Main Street. .
After initial plan review, I cited several concerns in an email to your office dated March 15,
2013. That message indicated the following;
1. The lack of a designated fire lane on the site plan is a concern.
2. Use of electrical extension cords in vending areas should be kept to a minimum and comply with
applicable code.
3. Site operator may wish to consider shutting off of vending area electrical outlets when the
occupancy is not in use.
4. Existing occupant use fire hoses should be removed and the standpipe connections made
capable of accepting fire department hoses. Fire hose connections should be capped.
5.' An adequate number of fire extinguishers should be installed based on occupancy use.
A subsequent design resubmission by the developer addressed item one (1). The developer has
maintained close contact with Fire Inspector Mitchell and agrees that ail remaining items in the
above list will be addressed before the site opens to the public.
Feel free to contact my office with questions or concerns.
V erytruly yours, !

AGAWAM
PLANNING BOARD
Dear Mr. Bryson,
Fuss & O'Neill completed sight distance and speed measurements at two site drivevny locations
for the proposed Flea Market in Agawam, MA. Site driveway #1 is located at 270 Main Street (State
Route 159) and Site driveway #2 is located off of Cooper Street, directly opposite of The Federal
res<auranL It is understood that both proposed driveways will maintain the existing curb cuts and
will be free of any site related obstructions such as signs or landscaping that would negatively
impact sight disrance. Proposed traffic control for the driveways is one-way STO P control.
We have d~termined that minimum sight distance criteria will not be achieved at either site
driveway intersection. Flattening of the tOadside slope and advanced traffic control (i.e. warning
signs) will provide imptOved sight disrance over cxisting conditions.
Vehicle Speed
Main Street (Rt. 159) has a 35 mph posted speed limit in both directions within the vicinity of site
driveway #1. Observations of vehicle speeds using radar at the proposed site access indicated the
following:
Northbound:
SouthboWld:
85th %-ile Speed = 39 mph (Speeds ranged between 38 and 44 mph)
85th %-ile Speed = 40 mph (Speeds ranged between 35 and 45 mph)
Cooper Street has a 25 mph posted speed limit on the eastboWld direction and no posted speed in
the westbound direction from Main Street up the hill towards site driveway #2. Observations of
vehicle speeds using radar at side driveway #2 indicated the following:
Eastbound:
Westbound:
Sight Distance
85th %-ile Speed = 34 mph (Speeds ranged between 23 and 36 mph)
85th %-ile Speed = 32 mph (Speeds ranged between 30 and 35 mph)
Two sight distance measurements were recorded in the field: stopping sight disrance (SSO) and
intersection sight distance (ISO). Stopping sight distance determines the minimum distance
tequired to safely avoid an objeCt with a height of 2 feet in the roadway at the intersection,
representing the taillights of a stopped vehicle waiting to turn into the site driveway. This is

generally considered the absolute minimum visibiliry criteria. Intersection sight distance determines
the minimum distance for vehicles traveling on the main road and those exiting a minOt street or
driveway to be able to see each other across the comers of the intersection for safe intersection
operations avoiding speed differential conflicts.
Table 1 below summarizes the recommended and existing SSD and ISD values. Both site driveways
exceed the minimum criteria for Stopping Sight Distance. The Main Street and Cooper Street
driveways also both exceed the minimum ISD while looking to the right. Neither drive meets the
minimum distance while looking left, however, due to vertical roadway curvature of Cooper Street
east of the driveway and Main Street north of the driveway. The Cooper Street driveway is close to
meeting the minimum standard for ISD, however it would require significant roadway
modifications and impacts to the adjacent cemetery to meet the required 305 feet.

industrial building and associated parking. The northerly section of the site is under the
jurisdiction of the Conservation Commission.
Provision for Traffic Flow: During the Team Meeting. concerns were raised over the use
of the current curbcut. A sight distance study was requested and not submitted. The
existing curbcut was suggested to be a one way in with either the exit on to Cooper
Street or an exit on the Main Street on the southerly frontage of the property. Neither
have been shown. The existing curb cut appears to have safety concerns. The change in
use and/or a relocation of the curbcut will require a permit from Mass DOT.
Parking: Planning will defer to Engineering on the parking lot design. There are 302
spaces shown. 291 spaces are required for just the Flea Market. Any use of the building
by other tenants have not been accommodated for. Many of the spaces appear to have
questionable use.

Date: 3/13/2013
Re: Site Plan -270 Main St. -Flea Market
Submitted as a follow up to the Team Meeting of March 12,2013.
SpeCific concern is the "line of sight" for motor vehicle operators entering and
exiting via the Main Street curb cut. Particularly, those operators ability to observe
the south bound traffic of Main Street when exiting the site. I would defer to the
Engineering Department for a recommendation on this issue.
If safety is questionable, in addition to those recommendation(s) submitted by
the Engineering Department, I would offer two possible suggestions:
A. The use of the Main Street curb cut as the site's entrance and the Cooper Street
curb cut as the site's exit. Appropriate pavement marking and signage would
need to be installed. or
B. The use of appropriate signage advising patrons of the availability of the Cooper
Street curb cut as an alternate entrance/exit.
If, as also discussed, the parking lot of the Southworth Company (265 Main
Street) were to be utilized as an overflow/satellite parking lot for the Flea
Market, whether officially or unofficially, the Flea Market operator(s), would
employ an Agawam Police Officer on an outside detail to provide safety for the
pedestrian traffic crossing Main Street that would be created
The term "officially/unofficially" used above would refer to whether or not
the Flea Market's operator(s) sanction the use of the Southworth parking lot or
patrons use it oftheir own volition.

!
Description of Site: Majority of the site is developed with building and parking. There is
a small portion of the site on the northern and southern boundaries that are
undeveloped. The northerly area is steeply sloping downgradient to the adjacent parcel.
The southerly area is forested.
Provision for Traffic Flow: Plan shows one curb-cut on to Main Street with a 25' wide
driveway. Applicant was informed during Team Meeting that a sight distance study
would be necessary if this curbcut were to be used. This curbcut is also too narrow to
accommodate two-way traffic. A possible one-way traffic circulation should be
considered.
Parking: Agawam's parking guidelines recommend one (1) parking space for every 200
square feet of gross floor area for buildings over 10,000 square feet. For the proposed
use this would result in 300 parking spaces. This does not take into consideration the
remaining 37,000 square feet of remaining floor area. However, the applicant has
indicated that the other tenants would not have the same operating hours.
Drainage: No drainage design has been provided. See Engineering comments.
Public Utilities: See Engineering comments.
landscaping/Screening and Buffers: The following landscape note must be placed on
the plan: "All plantings must be maintained and that portion of the public way abutting
the parcel and including the treebelt shall be maintained in a safe and attractive condition
by the owner of the parcel. n A planting plan with size, species and location must be
submitted.
Sign Location: The location of the proposed sign and an elevation must be submitted.
Exterior Lighting: All exterior light must be shown. Dimensions and cutsheet must also
be provided. The Planning Board requires that all exterior lighting be shielded and
recessed. Wall packs are not encouraged.
Rendering or Elevations: N.A.
Dumpster Location: The dumpster must be shown. It must be fenced, gated and

of 5 and S feet are acceptable as shown. Accessible parking SPftCCS should be placed near each entrance.
Each SPftCC needs to have its own sign and meet all requirements including pavement slope. Please
incorporate the attached details to the plans.
3. Details of each accessible entrance ramp will be required to ensure they meet all ADA/ABA or other
applicable standards.
4. The north side of the site drops down to a nearby brook which crosses Main Street close to or within this
parcel. The Conservation Commission may need to review this proposal.
S. The plan shows a significant amount of increased impervious ~ which will require either a detention
or iDti1tration system. Pre and post-oonstruction stormwater calculations for the 2, 10 and I ()() year
rainfall events will need to be submitted for approval. A DPW stormwater Permit will be required for
this project unless approval by the Conservation Commission is necessary.
6. A plan showing the topographical contours of the site including existing and proposed elevations is
required.
7. Please add all existing and any proposed water, sewer and stormwater utilities to the plans.
S. The proposed parking lot appears to come very close to a hydrant on Main street. Protection from
damage to this hydrant may be necessary.
9. The location of snow storage should be shown on the plans.
e \
10. A full engineering analysis is required for the sight distance at both the Main Street and Cooper Street
. access points to the site.
11 . The applicant should contact MassDOT for any necessary permits or approvals.
12. The number of parking spaces should meet the lTE guidelines for Parking Generation for the size and
usc of this site.
13. Engineering is still reviewing the turning movements in the parking lot. There is a concern that the
parking spaces closest to the Main Street entrance are in a hazardous location for vehicles turning into
the site.
14. The proposed location of the dumpster needs to be added to the plans.
·15. '!here is a concern about the amount of traffic this site may have on the nearby streets, particularly at
closing time when many vebiclc;a may be leaving at once. A police officer may be needed to help direct
traffic at each of the access points on the site.
16. Erosion and sediment control measures shall be shown on the plans. Please add any details as
necessary.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact this division.

Description of Site:
No prohibited work will be done in any restricted zone(s).
Provisions (or Traffic Flow:
According to the most CUtTent Mass Highway Pl'Oject Development & Design
Guide (Guidebook); Ch apter 3; Exhibit 3-10; at th e posted speed limit of 35 mphthe
required sight distance is 182 fe et.
Given that the sight lines a re adequate, we propose to utilize the existing

At this time, it is not known for what the balance of th e space in the building
will be utilized and what the parking requirements will be. It is expected that it is
likely that the s pace will be utilized Monday through Friday during normal business
hours. As such, all 302 spots will be available as th e Flea Market is operating only
on Sundays and, possibly, Saturdays.
All parking spaces shown on the plan are usable for vehicles.

See site p lan for elevation of the prosed sign.
Exterior Lighting:
See attached cut sheets for proposed lighting. All lighting will be set at 30
degree fixture aiming which will limit the light pattern to the parking lot and will
shine no more than 120 feet into the parking lot. Wall mOllnts will reach no more
than 75 feet into the parking lot.
Dumpster Location:
The area where the dumpster is located is in an area enclosed by a gated
fence. Because the dumpster is located in an out of sight, remote area which
is enclosed by a fence with a gate, we do not feel that there is a need another
enclosure. Vinyl slats will be installed in the west faCing side of the fence. The
dumpster will be acceSSible to the dumpster truck Monday through Friday, when no
cars will be parking in those spots at that time.

Re: Site Plan -270 Main St. -Flea Market
Submitted as a follow up to the Team Meeting of March 12,2013 .
SpeCific concern is the "line of sight" for motor vehicle operators entering and
exiting via the Main Street curb cut. Particularly, those operators ability to observe
the south bound traffic of Main Street when exiting the site. I would defer to the
Engineering Department for a recommendation on this issue.
If safety is questionable, in addition to those recommendation(s) submitted by
the Engineering Department, I would offer two possible suggestions:
A. The use of the Main Street curb cut as the site's entrance and the Cooper Street
curb cut as the site's exit. Appropriate pavement marking and signage would
need to be installed. or
B. The use of appropriate signage advising patrons of the availability of the Cooper
Street curb cut as an alternate entrance/exit.
If, as also discussed, the parking lot of the Southworth Company (265 Main
Street) were to be utilized as an overflow/satellite parking lot for the Flea
Market, whether officially or unofficially, the Flea Market operator(s), would
employ an Agawam Police Officer on an outside detail to provide safety for the
pedestrian traffic crossing Main Street that would be created
The ternl "officially/unofficially"' used above would refer to whether or not
the Flea Market's operator(s) sanction the use of the Southworth parking 101 or
patrons use it of their own volition.

Site Plan Review
Page 2
• •
Description of Site: Majority of the site is developed with building and parking. There is
a small portion of the site on the northern and southern boundaries that are
undeveloped. The northerly area is steeply sloping downgradient to the adjacent parcel.
The southerly area is forested.
Provision for Traffic Flow: Plan shows one curb-cut on to Main Street with a 25' wide
driveway. Applicant was informed during Team Meeting that a sight distance study
would be necessary if this curbcut were to be used. This curbcut is also too narrow to
accommodate two-way traffic. A possible one-way traffic circulation should be
considered.
Parking: Agawam's parking guidelines recommend one (1) parking space for every 200
square feet of gross floor area for buildings over 10,000 square feet. For the proposed
use this would result in 300 parking spaces. This does not take into consideration the
remaining 37.000 square feet of remaining floor area. However. the applicant has
indicated that the other tenants would not have the same operating hours.
Drainage: No drainage design has been provided. See Engineering comments.
Public Utilities: See Engineering comments.
landscaping/Screening and Buffers: The following landscape note must be placed on
the plan: "All plantings must be maintained and that portion of the public way abutting
the parcel and including the treebelt shall be maintained in a safe and attractive condition
by the owner of the parcel." A planting plan with size, species and location must be
submitted.
Sign Location: The location of the proposed sign and an elevation must be submitted.
Exterior Lighting: All exterior light must be shown. Dimensions and cutsheet must also
be provided. The Planning Board requires that all exterior lighting be shielded and
recessed. Wall packs are not encouraged.
Rendering or Elevations: N.A.
Dumpster Location: The dumpster must be shown. It must be fenced. gated and
screened.
Other Comments or Concerns: See additional staff comments.

MEMORANDVM
SP-S76: Main S1m:t Flea Market -Team Meeting Preliminary Review
Per your request, we have revi~ the plan entitled, wCbange of Use -Industrial to Mercantile -270 Main
Street, Agawam, MA; Prepared for 270 Main Street Flea Market, Inc; Prepared by: Chaffin Associates,
ArchitectsIPIan, 121 Chestnut Street, Springfield, MA 01103; Scale: 1" = 50'; Dated: 3/ll/13," aod we
have the fullowing comments:
1. Please note that this is a preliminary review based on the presenlBtion made at the Team. Meeting on
March 12,2013. Engineering reserves the right to make additional comments as new information is
submitted 8IId further review of the submittal is completed.
2. '!'he He pmting spaces shall be the same width as the typical parking spaces of 9 feet The access aisles
of 5 and 8 feet are aooeptable as shown. Accessible parking spaces should be placed near each CDtnuice.
Each space needs to have its own sign and meet all requirements including pavement slope. Please
incorporate the attached details to the plans.
3. Details of each accessible entrance IlIDlp will be required to ensure they meet all ADA/ABA or other
applicable standards.
4. The north side of the site drops down to a nearby brook which crosses Main S1m:t clas: to or within this
parcel. The Conservation Commission may need to review this proposal.
5. The plan shows a significant amount of increased impervious area which will require either a detention
or infiltration system. Pre aDd post-«mstruction stormwater cslculations for the 2, 10 and 100 year
rainfall events will need to be submitted fur approval. A DPW Stormwater Pc:mrit will be required for
this project unless approval by the Conservation Commission is nec,",sary.
6. A plan showing the topographical contours of the site including existing aod proposed elevations is
required.
7. Please add all existing and any proposed water, sewer and stormwater utilities to the plans.
8. The proposed parking lot appears to come very close to a hydrant on Main Street. Protection from
damage to this hydrant may be necessary.
9. The location of snow storage should be shown on the plans.
• •
10. A full engineering analysis is required for the sight distance at both the Main Street and Cooper Street
access points to the site.
II. The applicant should contact MassDOT for any necessary permits or approvals.
12. The number of parking spaces should meet the lTE guidelines for Parking Oene.ation for the size and
use of this site.
13. Engineering is still rcviewillg the turning movements in the parking lot. There is a concern that the
parking spaces closest to the Main Street entram:c: arc in a hazardous location for vehicles turning into
the site.
14. The proposed location of the dumpstcI needs to be added to the plans.
.15. ThcIe is a concern about the amount of traffic this site may have on the nearby streets, particularly at
closing time when many vehicles may be leavina at once. A police officer may be needed to help direct
traffic at each of the access points on the site.
16. Erosion and sedjmerrt control measures shall be shown on the plans. Please add any details as
nccc:ssary .
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact this division.
Sincerely,
