Letellier, Councilor Joseph Mineo, Councilor Donald M. Rheault, Councilor Robert Rossi, Councilor Anthony Suffriti, Councilor Agawam Town Council 36 Main Street Agawam, MA 01001 Dear Councilors: N N N At its duly called meeting held on September 18, 2014, the Agawam Plarming Board voted 3-0 to send a negative recommendation to the Town Council with regard to ZC-2014-3, Zone Change application by DJC Realty LLC on South West Street. It is our judgment that the area in question would be adversely impacted by a substantial increase in traffic from patrons using both the direct route and alternate routes to access the Sportsplex. This project will add to problems at multiple intersections in Feeding Hills, creating congestion and safety issues during times of peak use. In addition, South West Street is not designed for heavy traffic, making the ingress and egress from this project another safety concern. • • Further, although the projected use for this parcel is recreational/commercial, a zone change would forever change the character of this residential area. It would open the parcel up to possible future uses which are undesirable for a rural setting as well as out of keeping with sensible planning. Attached you will find a report prepared by the Planning Director as well as a memo from the Conservation Commission. If you have any questions, please contact this office at 786-0400, extension 8738. Since/l~tr Mark R. Paleologopoulos, Chairman AGAWAM PLANNING BOARD cc: Clerk, Solicitor, File • • Town of Agawam Interoffice Memorandum To: CC: From: Date: Subject: Planning Board VHB; DCJ Realty LLC Conservation Commission 9/30/14 Zone Change -South West Street At its meeting held on September 11, 2014, the Conservation Commission discussed the proposed zone change on South West Street under "correspondences" per the attached memo from you. The Commission does not support this zone change for the following reasons: WMECO has done an extensive amount of work to the wetlands and habitat over the last three years with their mitigation project on a portion of the property abuttting the area of which the zone change is being requested. This area is now under the auspices of Mass Audobon Society. The Commission feels that this is a very sensitive environmental area and that Business zoned property adjacent to this parcel and between two residential areas is not appropriate.

DACHOS, DIRECTOR OFFICE OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUBJECT: Sports Plex Zone Change -DCI Realty, LLC -South West Street DATE: September9,2014 On August IS, 2014, the Town received a request for a zone change for approximately 80 acres of land located on the west side of South West Street just south of Kozak Court, Feeding Hills. The . property is owned by WMECO. The property is current zoned Agricultural and Residence A~2. The request is to change three parcels, AS 2 4, B8 1 2 and a portion of CS 1 7 to Business A. Copies of the Assessor's maps showing these parcels, as it listed for tax purposes, are attached. Land Use and Zoning As stated above, the property for which the zone change is being requested is zoned Agricultural and Residence A-2. A copy of the zoning map for this area has been attached. Under the existing Agricultural District the following uses are allowed (please see § \SO-37 attached.) . A. Any use permitted in a Residence A-lor A-2 District. B. Farms, dairies, nurseries, truck gardens, greenhouses and natural ice-harvesting activities and . buildings or structures accessoiy thereto .. C: Buildings or shelters for the sale of farm products, provided that a major portion of the products offered for sale at all times are raised on the premises and no advertising of products other than those raised on the premises shall be displayed. • • D. The processing of forests and wood lots by portable woodworking mills and machinery for processing wood cut on the premises, if approved by the Board of Appeals. E. Airports and landing strips and buildings or structures necessary thereto, if located west of Suffield Street. F. Off-street parking for 24 hours or less for motor vehicles when the use is an accessory to an existing conforming amusement park containing at least three acres of land adjacent to agriculturally zoned land and by special permit. [Added 2-20-2001 by TOR-2001-1] Under the existing Residence A-2 District the following uses are allowed (Please see § 180-23 attached.) A. Any use permitted in Residence A-I. B. A one-family detached dwelling for one housekeeping ullit only. Under the proposed Business A District the following uses are allowed (please see § 180-44 attached.) A. Any use permitted in a residence district or an Agricultural District. B. The major use of a building or structure in this district shall be to store and display goods for sale at retail on the premises or to furnish a service intended for residents of the immediate vicinity. Banks, hotels, dining establishments, halls and office buildings shall be considered as complying with such requirements. C. No building, structure or land shall be used in whole or in part for any fabricating, manufacturing, converting, altering, finishing or assembling. D. One-story public garages for storage or repair of not more than 50 cars. E. A gasoline filling station, which shall include self-service gasoline filling or service stations, provided that not more than 30,000 gallons of gasoline shall be stored on the premises. F. Cabins, iflicensed under MGL c. 140, § 32A to 32E, inclusive. G. Drive-in restaurants and drive-through restaurants, after a special permit by the Board of Appeals in conformance with 3 180-11. At no time shall fewer than 50 parking spaces be provided on site. [Added 3-21-1994 by TOR-94-1; amended 3-8-2000 by TOR-2000-1] H. Drive-through service windows utilized by any business shall require a special pennit from the Board of Appeals in conformance with § 180-1 I. [Added 9-20-1997 by TOR-97-8] J. No more than four automatic amusement devices duly licensed in accordance with § 75-1 of the • • Code of the Town of Agawam. [Added 9-7-2004 by TOR-2004-5] The property is surrounded by Agriculturally zoned land with the exception ofthe frontage on South West Street and Southwick Street. To the north of the property is the Tobacco Farms subdivision consisting of single family homes. All abutting uses are either agricultural or residential in nature. The proposed Rt. 57 corridor runs along the north side of the property. The applicant indicates that no development is to take place in the corridor. If left undeveloped the corridor would provide an undisturbed buffer for the neighbors to the north until Rt. 57 is constructed. Environmental Considerations There are considerable wetlands resources on the site. These are associated with the watershed for Still Brook and are shown on the Wetlands Map attached. A filing with the Conservation Commission will be necessary. The contour map indicates that two thirds of the site is relatively flat. The westerly side of the property slopes up to Provin Mountain with an elevation change of over 60 feet. Dundout Analysis Eliminating the wetland portion of the property, approximately 39 acres are developable. Under the current zoning, the site could accommodate approximately seventy-eight single family dwelling with access on South West Street, Kozak Court and Southwick Street. The applicant has submitted a Site Plan to the Town for approval which shows the creation of a sports complex containing exterior and covered soccer fields, softball fields, tennis and basketball courts and a clubhouse building. The proposal submitted utilizes 24 acres of the total 80 acres with access on to South West Street. • • PARCEL MAPS • j J , ' ,-I- ~' J J J i !

To the north of the property is the Tobacco Fanns subdivision consisting of single family homes. All abutting uses are either agricultural or residential in nature. The proposed Rt. 57 corridor runs along the north side of the property. The applicant indicates that no development is to take place in the corridor. If left undeveloped the corridor would provide an undisturbed buffer for the neighbors to the north until Rt. 57 is constructed. Environmental Considerations There are considerable wetlands resources on the site. These are associated with the watershed for Still Brook and are shown on the Wetlands Map attached. A filing with the Conservation Commission will be necessary. The contour map indicates that two thirds of the site is relatively flat. The westerly side of the property slopes up to Provin Mountain with an elevation change of over 60 feet. Buildout Analysis Eliminating the wetland portion of the property, approximately 39 acres are developable. Underthe current zoning, the site could accommodate approximately seventy-eight single family dwelling with access on South West Street, Kozak Court and Southwick Street. The applicant has submitted a Site Plan to the Town for approval which shows the creation of a sports complex containing exterior and covered soccer fields, softball fields, tennis and basketball courts and a clubhouse building. The proposal submitted utilizes 24 acres of the total 80 acres with access on to South West Street. • • PARCEL MAPS '. ,. , ,)' ; j I /' .. ..

ScibeUi Turley Publications Correspondent AGAWAM -The classic barber shop look and classic bar· ber shop feel with a modernized twist is what makes up The Barber on Springfield Street in Agawam. Owner Tony Spryzenski has been in business since last year and says moving his barber shop dream to his home town of Agawam, was a great decision. "I really like the people here," said Spryzenski. 'This is where I am from and it's great to have my business running here again." The barber is focused on giving males the perfect haircut, buzz cut or trim. He originally started Tony's Famous Barber Shop in Springfield. He moved his business to another area of Springfield and eventuaily sold it. "I floated around and worked in a few different barber shops, including a barber shop in Agawam," said Spryzen- ski. He would last work at a Nick's Barber Shop in West Springfield. When the business was getting ready 10 close, Spryzenski found an old appliance store building was avail- able for sale at 665 Springfield Streel, and look advantage of the chance to "come home." "It's been an amazing run since I have come back to Aga- wam," said Spryzenski. ''We have been working really hard and cutiing a lot of people's hair. It is great being back in business for myself." Spryzenski retained a pair of full-time barbers from his previous location and is looking lO hire moreharbers sohe can have a more managerial!'Oleinbisbusiness. "I am hoping roget HOOple more.~s iriber~once they have gradnated from barber college so I canbavepeople here taking walk -ins and appoinlments during all of 00r op- erating hours," said Spryzenski. .. . Currently, Spryzenski is the only barber who is taking'"p. pointments, but he is hoping that will change soon. The Barber features a checked floor and three barber's chairs currently. The barber's chairs are old-fashioned and have been re-upholstered to be used in the new shop. Spry- zenski says he has two more chairs in the evenl he expands the number of seati>available in the shop. Spryzenski also expanded into thebllck of the buiJdiJ1g;lnd has a small coffee bar with a fiat-screen television to provide a modernized waiting area for his customers. "I want my. customers to have a very relaxed atmosphere and enjoy coming in here for a hairent," said Spryzenski.
