MEMO
TO: AGAWAM PLANNING BOARD
FROM: OFFICE OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
SUBJECT: Zone Change— Reidy Property - 466 South Westfield Street
DATE: June 18, 2018
On May 23, 2018, the Town received a zone change request on behalf of Thomas Reidy, II and
Sherry M. Reidy for property located at 466 South Westfield Street from Agricultural to
Residence A-5 (Age Restricted Housing). This parcel contains approximately 15 acres of land
and a house. An Amended request was submitted on June 10 to reflect the correct current
zoning of the parcel: Residence A-2 and Agricultural. The Planning Office has conducted a
review of this proposal and submits this report for your information.
Attached is ;a copy of the plan submitted by the applicant showing the proposed zoning map
change, a copy of the Assessor's map showing the property as it is listed for tax purposes and
the tax card information.
Land Use and Zoning
As stated above, the property for which the zone change is being requested is zoned Residence
A-2 and Agricultural. A copy of the zoning map for this area has been attached.
The Assessor's Map shows that abutters to the property include: to the north are single family
dwellings located on South Westfield Street; to the south is property owned by the Town of
Agawam (part of the Tuckahoe property); to the west is farmland owned Schmaelzle as well as a
4.43 acre parcel of woodland owned by Andrea M. Ilnicky Declaration of Trust as well as a
single family house on a land locked parcel owned by Liquori (contains right of way to South
Westfield Street).
Under the present Residence A-2 District the following uses are allowed: (Please refer to 180-23
of the Zoning Ordinance which is attached.)
0 0
Single family residential (a second housekeeping unit is allowed by Special Permit)
Office or studio of a dentist, artist, ,architect, professional engineer or 'teacher of
scholastic subjects
Renting of rooms for not more than four residents
Schools for academic purposes
Colleges, public libraries or museums, churches
Private kindergartens or day nurseries
Bus passenger stations or shelters
Telephone exchange buildings
Accessory buildings
Under the present Agricultural District the following uses are allowed: (Please refer to 180-37 of
the Zoning Ordinance which is attached.)
Any use permitted in a Residence A-1 District or A-2 District.
Farms, dairies, nurseries, truck gardens, greenhouses and natural ice harvesting activities
and buildings or =structures accessory thereto.
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.
♦ 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.
Airports, and landing strips and buildings or structures necessary thereto, if located west
of Suffield Street.
If the zoning is changed from Residence A-2 and Agriculture to Residence A-5, the following
uses would be allowed: (please refer to § 180-115 of the Zoning Ordinance which is attached):
Age restricted occupancy.
Environmental Considerations
The approximately 15 acre site is currently farmed. There is a stream located at the rear of the
property with associated wetlands. A Determination of Applicability delineating the wetland
resources and a Notice of Intent maybe required prior to any construction being approved on this
site. According to the Town's OIS, the property consists primarily of Wareham Loamy Sand
and Merrimac Fine Sandy Loam.
Other Considerations
If the property was rezoned to Residence A-5, a traffic study will be required and a site distance
study should be conducted to ensure that the traffic generated by the proposed development
would not have a significant impact on South Westfield Street..

L South Westfield: Street and Pine Street is scheduled to be reconstructed in the spring of 2019.
The intersection alignment will be adJusted horizontally and vertically to improve safety and
sight distance. Agawam Engineering has instructed their consultant to check the future sight
distance at the intersection of Pine and South 'Westfield Streets. If the future sight distance is
deemed to be adequate at that location on the west side of South Westfield Street, the entrance'
to this project will need to be located directly across from the South Westfield and Pine Street
intersection.
2. A traffic study and trip generation study is required for this project. Duc to the proposed future
development in the area, a traffic signal may bewarrantedat South Westfield and Pine Street.
Conduits will be installed as part of the Sprang 2019 State Transportation Improvement Project
at this intersection to minimize pavement disturbance when/if a new signal is installed. Per
Mayor Sapelli, if a signal is warranted, the cost of the signal will be shared amongst the future
developers in the area. Percentage of costs will be based on tripgeneration.
I For Rum design the developer shall make every effort to direct stormwater to the west away
from South Westfield and Pine Streets.

FROM: OFFICE OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT'
SUBJECT: Zone Change — Reidy Property - 466 South Westfield Street
DATE: ,Tune 1`8, 2018
On May 23, 2018, the Town received a zone change_ request on behalf of Thomas Reidy,11 and
Sherry M. Reidy for property located at 466 South Westfield Street from Agricultural to
Residence A-5 (Age Restricted Housing). This parcel contains approximately 15 acres of land
and a house. An Amended request was submitted on June 141h to reflect the correct current
zoning of the parcel: Residence A-2 and Agricultural. The Planning Office has conducted a
review of this proposal and submits this report for your information.
Attached is a copy of the plan submitted by the applicant showing the proposed zoning map
change, a copy of the Assessor's map showing the property as it is listed for tax purposes and
the tax card information.
Land UseandZoning
As stated above, the property for which the zone change is being requested is zoned Residence
A-2 and Agricultural. A copy of the zoning map for this area has been attached.
The Assessor's Map shows that abutters to the property include: to the north are single family
dwellings located on South Westfield Street; to the south is property owned by the Town of
Agawam (part of the Tuckahoe property); to the west is farmland owned Schmaelzle as well as a
4.43 acre parcel of woodland owned by Andrea M. 11nicky Declaration of Trust as well as a
single family house on a land locked parcel owned by Liquori (contains right of way to South
Westfield Street);
Linder the present Residence A-2 District the following uses are allowed: (Please refer to 180-23'
of the Zoning Ordinance which is attached.)
E

Environmental Considerations
The approximately 1.5 acre site is currently farmed. There is a stream located at the rear of the
property with associated wetlands. A Determination of Applicability delineating the wetland
resources and a Notice of Intent may be required prior to any construction being approved on this
site. According to the Town's G1S, the property consists primarily of Wareham Loamy Sand

Other Considerations
If the property was rezoned to Residence A-5, a traffic study will be required and a site distance
study should be conducted to ensure that the traffic generated by the proposed development
would not have a significant impact on South Westfield Street.

Subject:
Zone Change 466 S. Westfield Street
Good afternoon,
I have reviewed the proposed zone change for the referenced property. Please pass along the fallowing comments to
the Planning Board for their consideration.
• As an alternative to more development, please consider working with a local land trust, or other land
conservation groups to optimize the use of the remaining open space. The best route to clean water, clean air
and a healthy environment is the protection of vulnerable areas.
• If the condominium development were to move forward, the availability and capacity of public utilities such as
sewer and water must be taken into account.
• Do the local streets have the ability to accommodate the added traffic? The road is narrow there and heavily
traveled and the line of site is poor.

ship, July 20-22. New England
is back in action at Agawam
High at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, June
9, against the New York Surf.-

The last time the Mutiny

funct Albany Alleycats by a 2-0
score via goals from Erin Clark
and Hillary Lackmann.

We're hoping for a 4 or 5 seed."
A turning point for the
Brownies was their win over
Northampton (17-3). Trailing
6-0, they came back with a sev-
enth inning rally to defeat the
Blue Devils 8-6.
"We're holding our own,"
Georgina said. ".We're in it to
win it:'
Three hitbatsmen, two er-
rors and a hitbyGianna Boyle
were the key' developments in
the five -run fourth. Then Bates
crushed a homer in the fifth
and later, O'Connell's ringing
double contributed add -on
runs. Other than the third, Aga-
wam scored in every inning.
Now the playoffs await.
CURRAN 1 from page 2
little but it never changed his mindset.
"Kind of just trusting my leg that it's
healthy and I'll be fine" Curran said,
"Just getting over the mental hurdle of
all that"
Curran has been cleared since Janu-
ary 2018. Since being back, Curran has
seen 179 at -bats, batting .257, which is
his best since 2016, when he averaged
.283. He also has ;shown some power,
with 10 home runs and 11 doubles. He
driven in 36 runs and scored 30. His OPS
is currently .813. He has -spent time at
first base and designated hitter,: with 33
of his 48 games played at first base.
On Tuesday, 'Curran was named
to the Northern Division team in the
South Atlantic League All -Star Game,
to be held June 19 in Greensboro, N.C.
He ranks third in the Single -A "Sally
League" in home runs and RBI.
After playing 2015 and 2016 in Rook-
ie and Class A Short Season leagues —
lower levels than full -season Single -A
— Curran learned a lot from being out
of action for year.
"You are always going to have doubts
coming back whether you will be the
same player or if this is a career -ending
injury," Curran said. "Luckily it wasn't
anything serious, there was no ligament
damage, it was justmy knee.cap."
That meant a speedy recovery,which
Curran appreciated.
"Honestly, [1] feel like I came back a
better person just because of the mental
side of the game, Curran said. "Before, I
took baseball for granted, just because I
didn't really hit too many bumps in the
road growing up'
In baseball or in any sport, the peo-
ple who you choose to surround your-
self with are everything. "I have a good
support system with my agent, my men-
tal'health coach, and my family really
he w =rough the whole prig-
cess" Curran said. "This injury made me
value friendships and relationships with
other people"
Overall, Curran has different out-
look on baseball and life after the injury.
"Baseball is something I do; it doesn't
define me Curran said. "Getting draft-
ed out of high school, I thought I needed
to be this kid who was great at sports,
and I let my accomplishments take over
my identity"
Injuries can either break or make an
athlete, but for Curran the injury meant
more to him than just being sidelined.
. "If you don't have good people
around you man it's hard to be success-
ful" Curran said. "I'm just playing to play
now.

After dropping their first
loss of the season to the ex-

hits while striking out seven.
Her poise on the mound belied
her youth; once the Brownies
surged comfortably to a lead,
which grew from 7-2 to 11-3,
she adapted and varied her ap-
proach. Her aunt Angela Ross
was a relief pitcher at Fitchburg
State. Both she and Sarah Ross's
father have been mentors.
"I was a little wild in the
beginning; Ross said. "But my
teammates gave me a little
cushion. So I was able to nar-
row it down. I am a freshman
and there are nerves. But I
think I'llhave nerves when I'm
a senior. So that isn't a factor for

SOFTBALL 1 from page 12
After seasons of sometimes
complete dominance over its >op-
ponents, Agawam tools a little bit
of a 'step back this season, only
garnering a 12-8 mark this season,
struggling with defense at times,
and new starting pitcher Sarah
Ross,- a freshman, getting used
to the competition level of high
school varsity softball.
It was a great season for the
rookie pitcher. and definitely one.
that will help ber grow heading
into next season.
But West Springfield got to her
for three runs in the top of the third
inning to take a 3-0 lead. The Ter-
riers then tacked on a run in the
fourth to make it 4-0. Agawam did
not score until the sixth inning, but
West Springfield answered back
with a two -spot in the :top of the
seventh.
AgawarnTalliedbackwith apair
of runs in the bottom of the inning,
but it was too late for the Brownies
as they fell in the quarterfinals for
the first time in four years.
Nikki Bates was responsible for
all three runs for Agawam in the
game. She had two hits. She drove
in Agawam's run in the sixth,
then came up an inning later and
socked a two-liBI hit in the sev-
enth inning to make the score 6-3.
Crystal Madore, another young
pitcher in the Valley League, shut
the door from there, and retired
Agawam to complete the game.
Ross went the full seven in -
rungs. She allowed six runs on
eight hits. She walked two and
struck out four. She was also hurt
by three Agawam errors.
Defense is something Agawam
will need to improve on heading
into next season, as the miscues
hurt in a number of their losses
this season.
Ross completes a -season in
which: she won 10 games, and
threw 136.1 innings. She had 108
strikeouts for the year. Agawain's
weason finishes at an overall 12-9
Iecord.
The Brownies will return sever-
al starters to the team next;sea8an,
but lose outfielder Emily Fountain
and infielder Mia Perella.

Dear Mr. Johnson and Councilors
Please accept this zone change petition on behalf of Thomas F. Reidy II and
Sherry M. Reidy who hereby formally request a zone change from Agricultural to an Age
Restricted Housing District (A-5) for an approximately fifteen acre parcel of property
commonly known as 466 South Westfield Street, Agawam, Hampden County
Massachusetts (Parcel ID; E6 I,1).
Pronerty Summ
Thomas F Reidy 11 and Sherry M. Reidy currently own the subject property as
evidenced by a deed dated July 13 2012 and recorded in the Hampden County Registry
of Deeds, Book 19346, Page 2,13. The subject property is approximately fifteen acres in
size and currently zoned Agricultural.
Zoning, Map Amendment / Zone Change Sou ht
The Petitioners hereby request a zone change from the Town of Agawam City
Council for the subject property from an Agricultural zone to an Age Restricted Housing
District (A-S).
Su _pp- orting Information
Thomas F. Reidy II and Sherry M. Reidy have executed a purchase and sale
agreement with Kathleen H. Sweeney and Victor J. Shibley who intend to construct
approximately forty-eight (48) age restricted condominium units on the subject property
as depicted on the attached conceptual plan. Kathleen H. Sweeney and Victor J. Shibley
Jr. are experienced real estate professionals who have developed two similar age
r
L
restricted housing developments in the neighboring West Springfield community. These
two projects are known as Condominiums at Beech Hill located on Brush Hill Road,
West Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts and Canterbury Woods
Condominiums located at 939 Piper Road, West Springfield, Hampden County,
Massachusetts. If given the opportunity by the Town of Agawam to develop an age
restricted community, Ms. Sweeney and Mr. Shibley commit themselves to the same
quality of work which they have displayed in these two recent age restricted
developments.
Furthermore, based upon their development experience, discussions with longtime
Agawam residents and town officials, they are convinced that the proposed age -restricted
housing development will fill a community need for the Town's over fifty-five year old
population.
Conclusion
The Zoning Map Amendment requested ;herein promotes the health, safety and
general welfare of the community and will not result in a significant adverse effect on the
surrounding; area. In addition, the requested zone change will help satisfy a community
need recognized by the Town when it created the Age Restricted Housing District.
The applicant hereby respectfully ;requests that the Town Council grant the
requested Zoning Map Amendment under the Town of Agawam Zoning Ordinance
thereby providing the Developers an opportunity to develop ;an age restricted housing
development on the subject property.

feel free contact me at your earliest convenience.
