Mr, Urbanati, In accordance with the Planning boards findings there are still 27 or more violations on the property{Twisty®s Too}that need to: be addressed.If you choose not to enforce these matters, according to MGL C40A, you have 14 days to issue an explanation as to why you can not perform your duties.It is the right of the public to have the Zoning laws enforced: and can not be forfeited by the actions of its officers.It has come to my attention that you issued 2 sign permits to this individual., if indeed one of them was for his illegal parking facility, you have performed a dereliction of duty with disregard to the Zoning laws. And due to your lack of enforcement of the approved site plans I have contacted the authorities. One can not pick and choose who the laws are enforced against.l will NOT remain a prisoner of my home. My Constitutional rights are: being violated.My suggestion to you is to start performing your job as designated.Thank you for your time.

Their recommendations were quite clear n their approval-, In Oct. 2008, I sent a letter to the Planning Board with complaints to the non- conformance of their recommendations and the Site Plan. Chairman Ward requested a review by two members and you were also invited. Enclosed are the findings which were previously issued to you. Mir complaints are the unsluelded nor recessed lighthig that shines into my property,the lack of grading and contrast pea stone that was to replace the dirt parking area,the dog pen which is not even on the Site Plan (per FDA food Code`Chapter 6-501.115-Prohibiting Animals on the Premises of a.Food Establishment ,Loud Speakers per Zoning Law 18 'pan 5 j,the- Police shall enforce only if in use and,these are not on the Site Plan;,the dumpster is not enclosed per Business B 18048 section 1 regarding,outdoor storage areas and is shorn enclosed an the Site Flan.,and there is no fire escape from the second floor apartment,which I thoughtthis was a Site Plan for a restaurant not a residence.It is also not recommended to have living quarters in the anise use it 'hinderthe regulatory authority's access to conductroutine inspections {Chapter -202.111 and 6-202.112 It has come to my attention that you have issued two sign pewits for this property, I can only hope flut one of these was not for the.10$parking sign now fivned and on the tree hell. That would cerWnly be a conflict of inter-est. It is the right of the public to have the Zoning Laws properly enforced and cannot be forfeited by the action of its.oleic Sincerely, Lueen Jodoin cc.Atty. Johnson,Mayor Dawson,and the City Council Lueen Jodoin Fax;413-789-018. April 14,2009 Gina Letellier City Council President 76 Beekman Dr. Agawam, M&01001 Dear Council President, I would like to call your attention to an issue regarding the Building Inspector, Mr. Urbanati. He received a report from the Planning Board with various Site Plan non- conformance,issues. I've enclosed a copy for your review. I have yet to get a resolufion. The trash problem has been resolved. But none of the others. My particular concerns are with the mounted speaker system,the pant spot light that shines directly onto my patio and into my home, the non-recessed or shielded lights on the rest of the premise,and the lack of pea stone to grade the parking lot,this would deter a lot of dirt that lands in my pol due to traffic. There is also the problem of the constantly barking dogs. Animals are prohibited on the Premises of a Food Establishment per FDA Food Code Chapter 6- 501.115. Also living and sleeping quarters are prohibited, see Chapter 6-202.110 and 6- 202.112.I've enclosed a copy for you. There are two new sips erected. I've been told by h1r.

We were directed to examine the approved site plan and determine whether the site confonned to the aweed-upon requirments. At the time of our visit the business,a tak"ut restaurant, was closed. The parking lot was empty and we observed no persons on the premim during out visit. The main conctm of. the complainants was the lighting given off at the;restaurant that spilled onto their properties. The timing of ottr visit was deliberate so as to view the site during daylight hours and after'dart We walked the property focusing any no-n rtfo ance is ,while at the same e bane evaluating the site for safety and esthetic concerns. Our findings are detailed below. Site Plan conformance Replacement of existing fence on north side of the property was to be replaced with new 1 ' stockade fence. The fence is less than 107 feet tali No parking signs noted on the plan for installatiori on the fences alongside the entrance d exit driveways were not in evidence: • Compact car spaces do not have signs denoting them as such, Two lights on poles illuminating the rear parking,lot were not shielded, Lights on the north and west sides of the building are not shown on the site plan. The grading oft e handicapped spaces presents a-dangerous situation,. The site plan shows a minimal change in grade from the driveways to the area in front of tine building, but the actual gmde is quite steep. Two temporary signs advertising parking for$10 were found leaning against a wooden railing. WHO ka Atkofff;m f 44A 141,JIUU"&j a After dark,an unshielded timed light on the north side of the building intended to hot the entrance driveway did indeed cast light over the stockade fence into the abuttem, properties. * The site plan calls for an area of contrasting colored peastone in the rear parking area. The designated area was of the same material and in the same condition as the rest of the unpaved portion of the roar parking lot # We observed outdoor loudspeakers ,oanted on the outside of the building. 'No speakers are shore on the site plan, Safety conceras * A number of I arse boulders in the landscaping along Main Street could be a safity hazard. * An electrical extension cord,presumably used to supply power to a temporary sign,rAn across the exit driveway on the ground from an cutlet in the center-front of the property. # Handicapped parking spaces in front of the building are placed dangerously close to the take-out windows. * The width of the entrance and driveway looks to be inadequate to allow ingress for emergency vehicles. The width at the front of the building is 14' and the driveway shrinks to 11 1 as you pass the building to enter the rear parkin g lot. • The extreme westerly end of the rear parking lot is unpaved and open to a littered steep slope without barriers or warning for walking patrons orVehicles. Tire tracks and trash are evident all the way to the edge of the property. A loge appliance has be mounted on the south side of the building. It appears to be serving an HVAC function. Given its size and location on the sloped roof,this may constitute a hazardous condition. Aesthedc concerns and questions The rear parking lot was littered with trash- A dumpster on the southom.side of the parking lot in the rear of the property was filled to overflowing. A large dog cage sits next to the dumpster enclosure. We heard the dog barking inside the structure as we surveyed the property. An outdoor grill is visible on a second floor deck up the tear stairs. it could be concluded that the building is being used as a residence as well as a restaurant, vsav %R ¢auaamtfft: t Ah $4W.tQWQ ..ti. knit P£ Z4i9 IL=.3 6$5 FUL44J! 6 sr • Newspapers,delivered and still bagged,were found on to ground in the front of the prsperty,dating back to the p vious Tuesday. • Tables for diiiingare placed along the sides of the building,shielded only by a w oode Tailing from the vehicles entering and exiting.

Christopher C. Johnson, Solicitor cc Inspector of Buildings Date: December 4, 2008 Re: Enforcement of Site Plan Requirements Massachusetts General Laws c. 40A, § 7 provides in pertinent part.: "If the officer— charged with enforcement of zoning ordinances'.,. is requested in writing to enforce such ordinances... against any person allegedly in violation of the same and such officer or board declines to act, he shall notify, in writing, the party requesting such enforcement of any action or refusal to act, and the reasons therefor, within fourteen clays of receipt of such request." The Inspector of Buildings of the Town of Agawam is charged with the enforcement of zoning ordinances. Site plan review is a part of the zoning ordinances in Agawam and as such, the Inspector of Buildings has jurisdiction to enforce the site plan requirements. A request to enforce the site plan requirements must be submitted to the Inspector of Buildings before he may demand compliance.. e Planning Board should mare a written request to the Inspector of Buildings asking him to enforce the site plan requirements. The Inspector o Buildings must provide written notification to the requesting party (the Planning Board) that action will or will not be taken and the reasons for such a decision* Such notice should be provided within fourteen days of receipt of the Planning Board request. The requirement that notification to the requesting party be within fourteen days is considered "directory and not mandatory." If the Inspector of Buildings chooses not to enforce the site plan requirements, the aggrieved party (the Planning Board) may appeal his lack of action to the Board of Appeals and ultimately into court. If the Inspector of Buildings chooses to enforce the site plan requirements, he may revoke building permits, certificates of occupancy or initiate a criminal or civil proceeding in court to require the offending party to comply with the site plan requirements. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Agawam Planning Board Site Visit Twisty's Too 1744 Main St. Deed Reference: LC32852- .61 acres Zoned Business B Cirillo Realty Inc. In response to abutters' complaints, Chairman Ward requested that members of the= Planning Board visit the site of the restaurant doing business as Twisty's Too located at 1744 Main St. Violet Baldwin and I made a trip to the site at 6PM on Thursday, October 23`a We were directed to examine the approved site plan and determine whether the site conformed to the agreed-upon requirements, At the time of our visit, the business, a take-out restaurant, was closed. The parking lot was empty and we observed no persons on the premises during out visit. The main concern of the complainants was the lighting given off at the restaurant that spilled onto their properties.. The timing of our visit was deliberate so as to view the site during daylight hours and after dark. We walked the property focusing any non-conformance issues, while at the same time evaluating the site for safety and esthetic concerns. Our findings are detailed below. Site Plan conformance • Replacement of existing fence on north side of the property was to be replaced with new 10' stockade fence. The fence is Tess than 10''feet tall • No parking signs noted on the plan for installation on the fences alongside the entrance and exit driveways were not in evidence. • Compact car spaces do not have signs denoting them as such. • Two lights on poles illuminating the rear parking lot were not shielded._ Lights on the north and west sides of the building are not shown on the site plan. • The grading of the handicapped spaces presents a dangerous situation. The site plan shows a`minimal change in grade from the driveways to the area in front of the building, but the actual grade is quite steep. • Two temporary signs advertising parking for $10 were found leaning against a wooden railing; L 0 • After dark,an unshielded tinned light on the north side of the building intended to light- the entrance driveway did indeed cast light over the stockade fence into the abutters' properties. • The site plan calls for an area of contrasting colored peastone in the rear parking area. The designated area was of the same material and in the same condition as the rest of the unpaved portion of the rear parking lot. • We observed outdoor loudspeakers mounted on the outside of the building. No speakers are shown on the site plan. Safety concerns- • A number of large boulders in the landscaping along Main Street could be a safety hazard. • An electrical extension cord, presumably used to supply power to a temporary sign,ran= across the exit driveway on the ground from an outlet in the center-front of the property. • Handicapped parking spaces in front of the building are placed dangerously close to the take-out windows. • The width of the entrance and driveway looks to be inadequate to allow ingress for emergency vehicles. The width at the front of the building is 14' and the driveway shrinks to 11' as you pass the building to enter the rear parking lot. • The extreme westerly end of the rear parking lot is unpaved and open to a littered steep slope without barriers or warnings for walking patrons or vehicles. Tire tracks and trash are evident all the way to the edge of the property. • A large appliance has been mounted on the south side of the building. It appears to be serving an HVAC function. Given its size and location on the sloped roof, this may constitute a hazardous condition. Aesthetic concerns and questions • The rear parking lot was littered with trash. A dumpster on the southern side of the; parking lot in the rear of the property was filled to overflowing. • A large dog cage sits next to the dumpster enclosure. We heard the dog barking inside the structure as we surveyed the property. An outdoor grill is visible on a second floor deck up the rear stairs. It could be concluded that the building is being used as a residence as well as a restaurant:- ® Newspapers,:delivered and still bagged,were found-.on the ground in the front of the property.dating back to the;previous Tuesday. • Tables for dining are placed along the sides of the building, shielded only by a wooden railing from the vehicles entering and exiting. One table is adjacent to the gas meter. « Exposed wiring is evident on both sides of the building. + An earthen bank on the south side of the rear parking lot is suffering erosion.

The submitted and approved plans showed this as a grass area. Parking in this area was not included as part of the approved permit. -.1- Parking advertisement sips were found along the edge of road and mounted to the southerly utility pole; both sip areas are within the State Highway Layout(SHLO). The permit states: "No signs, fences, or other appurtenances shall be located within or overhang the State Highway Layout Line." Areas within the SHLO and along the driveways were landscaped with rocks and boulders,and have unapproved curbing to retain the landscape. The permit clearly states: "This Permit does not authorize the placement of rock landscaping,shrubs or trees." The District hereby directs the immediate removal of unauthorized rock landscaping, wooden curbing, and parking signs within the State Highway Layout. The regulatory signs at the driveway entrance and exit shall be replaced with signs having appropriate dimensions,height above the ground and installed on breakaway posts per MassHighway Standards. The parking area in ftont of the building and between the driveways should be removed as shown on the plans submitted and referenced in the permit from Reinhardt Associates.

Engineering does not typically inspect the lighting on a site. Therefore,this should be reviewed by the appropriate department. • The parking lot appears to be compacted gravel,although the parking spaces we pamted instead of being delineated with;contrasting colored pea stone. 0 The resident noted 25 marked parking spaces in their letter. The approved site plan shows d spaces, although a table on the plan lists the number at 23. We believe that the table was not amazed when the accessible parking des were moved from the rear of the building to the front,allowing for the additional.parking spaces.

DSD:prk Lueen Jodoln 1736 Main St'. Agawam, MA 01 001 September 16,2008 ' The Planning Board Town of Agawam I would like to bring,to your attention some issues with regard to the site plan approval for Twisty's Too, I havereceived a copy of the revised plan,approved on 8/7/2008. 1 also have a copy of the previous site plan approved on 41 17/2008 as well as the Boards recommendations dated 3/17/2009. 1 have enclosed copies for your review.I also obtained the revised architectural design plan. I list;all these so that 1 may enlighten this board of the blatant disregard for your recommendations as well as the nonchalant behavior from the owner of the property. First of all it is Mated that this business will parr 23 cars,I count 25 marked spaces with 2 handicap spaces at the front of the building. The lighting of said lot as indicated,can the site plan mares no mention of the two"halogen" like lights located on the North side and the West side of the building.Both of these lights illuminate not only my front yard and backyard but inside of my house as well. My neighbor who is forth of me has to keep her blinds shut continuously due to the light on the north side of t this business.And this is only because they are left"on"all night. Complaints of this have been reported to the Building inspector numerous times with no relief. A lighting issue was brought to attention in the March review.As well as being listed in the Zoning Laws. I have also marked another light that is not on the site plan. I have enclosed recommendations by the International lurk-Sky Association as well as photos DaylNight These lights are so bright that's am unable to entertain on my patio. This brings to mind Quality of Fife issues and Lack of Privacy. Next I would like to address the"Dog Kennel."' Right next to the dumpster.Now this may not be a health issue for people,but I am curious about their well being.Further more how many restaurants in town have dog kennels on their premise, or in the building for that matter? Lastly I would like to address the excessive signage. 'There are plenty of advertizing signs in the front of the building. I've compared comparable family restaurants throughout the town,I think. He has enough for all of them.These same restaurants are also located within residential property do not have the appearance of a three-ringed circus. The M.LI.T.C.D. are not properly located nor are they mounted correctly. I have enclosed correspondence with the Highway Dept. for you as well as some sections from their manual. Now I have to ask myself," What is the purpose of a `Site Plan"review and approval if one can completely ignore it T, I roust apologize if I seem disgruntled but you have not lived with what I have had to "tolerate"for the last three years. This is my home,the place to relax/unwind, lounge in my yard and entertain guests. 1 haven't been able to do that in a long Samoa VNIk SEP 1208 time. There is something gravely wrong with this picture, Thank you for your time.

The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices(MUTCD)is incorporated by reference in 23 of Federal Regulations(CFR), 655,Subpart F d shall lace recognized as thei, for all traffic control devices installed on any street,highway,or bicycle trail open to public:travel In accordance with 23 U.S.C. 109(d)and 402(a). The policies and procedures of the Federal highway Administration (Fii'4'4rA)to obtain basic uniformity of traffic control devices,shall be as described in 23 CFR 655,Subpart F. Any traffic control device design or application provision contained in this Manual shall be considered to be in the public domain. c control devices contained in this Manual shall not be protected by a patent,trademark,or copyright,except for the Interstate Shield and any other items owned by FHWA. Support. The need for uniform standards was recognized long ago. The American Association of State highway Officials(AASHO),now known as the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AA ),published a manual for rural highways in 1927 and the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety(NCSHS)published a manual for urban streets in 1930. In the early years,the necessity for unification of the standards applicable to the different classes of mad and street systems was obvious. To meet this need,e joint committee of AA'S O and NCSHS developed and published the original edition of this Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices(MUTCD)in 1935. That committee, now called the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices(NCUTCD),though changed from time to time in name,'organization,and personnel, has been in continuous existence and has contributed to periodiorevisions of this Manual. The FHWA,has administered the;MUTCD since the 1971 edition. The FHWA and its predecessor org zations have participated in the development and publishing of the previous editions. There were eight previous editions of the MUTCD, and several of those editions were revised one or more times. Table I.1 traces the evolution of the CD, including the two manuals developed by AASHO and NCSHS. Stand The U.S.Secretary of Transportation,under authority granted by the Highway Safety Act 1966, decreed t traffic control devices on all streets and highways open to public travel in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 109(d)and (a)in each State shall be in substantial conformance with the Standards issued or endorsed by the FHWA. Support: 23 CFR 655.603 adopts that MUTCD as the national standard for any street,highway,or bicycle trail open t public travel in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 149(d)and (a). The"Uniform Vehicle Code(INC)"is one of the publications referenced in the MUTCD. The UVC contains a model set of motor vehicle codes and traffic laws for use throughout the United States. The States are encouraged to adopt Section 15-116 of the UVC,which states that,"No person shall install or maintain in any area of private property used by the public any sign, signal,marking,orother-device intended to regulate;warn,or guide traffic unless it conforms with the State manual and specifications adopted under Section 15-104: The Standard, Guidance,Option, and Support material described in this edition of the MUTCD provide the transportation professional with the information needed to make appropriate decisions regarding the use of traffic control devices on streets and highways. The material in this edition is organized to better differentiate between Standards that must be satisfied for the particular circumstances of`a situation,Guidances that should be followed for the particular circumstances of a situation,and Options that may be applicable for the particular circumstances of a situation; Tbroughout this Manual the headings Standard,Guidance,Option, and Support are used to classify the nature of the text that follows.

GENERAL Swflon IA.01 Namw gf lk*Mc Conkyj yes Support: The purpose of traffic control devices,as well as the principles for their use, is to promote highway safety and efficiency by providing for the orderly movement of all road users on streets and highways throughout the Nation. Traffic control devices notify road users of regulations and provide warning and guidance needed for the reasonably safe,uniform, and efficient operation of all elements of the traffic stream. SWdard-. 11W&control devices or their suppwts sWW not bear arty advertising message or any other message that Is not related to traffic control. Support- Tourist-oriented directional signs and Specific Service sips are not considered advertising;rather,they are classified as motorist service signs. Section 11A.02 rxbc l f Iraffic Cqgtr vi Support, This Manual contains the basic principles that govern the design and use of traffic control devices for all streets and highways open to public travel regardless of type or class or the public agency having jurisdiction. This Manual's text specifies the restriction on the use of a device if it is intended for limited application or fora specific system. It is important that these principles be given primary consideration in the selection and application of each device. Guidance: To be effective, a traffic control device should meet five basic requirements: A. Fulfill a need; B. Command attention; C, Convey a clear, simple meaning; D- Command respect from road users; and E. Give adequate time for proper response. Design,placement,operation,maintenance,and uniformity are aspects that should be carefully considered in order to maximize,the ability of a traffic control device to meet the five requirements listed in the previous paragraph.Vehicles should be carefully considered as an element that govems the design,rape 'on, placement, and location of various traffic control devices. Support: The definition of the word"speed"varies depending on its use. The definitions of specific speed terms are contained in Section IA.13. Guidance: The actions required of road users to obey regulatory devices should be specified by State statute, or in cases not covered by State statute,by local ordinance or resolution consistent with the "Uniform Vehicle Code:' The proper use of traffic control devices should provide the reasonable and prudent road user with the information necessary to reasonably safely and lawfully use the streets,highways,pedestrian facilities,and bikeways. Support: Uniformity of the meaning of traffic control devices is vital to their effectiveness. The meanings ascribed to devices-in this Manual are in general accord with the publications mentioned in Section IA.11. Section 1A.03 DesiI of R_aMc LCqpftW Devices Guidance- Devices should be designed so that features such as size, shape, color, composition,lighting or retroreftection,and contrast are combined to draw attention to the devices;that size, shape,color,and simplicity of message combine to produce a clear meaning;tha legibility and size combine with placement to permit adequate time for response; and that uniformity, size,legibility,and reasonableness of the message combine to command respect. Sat M01 to M03 Page I A-2 2003 Edition Standard: All symbols shall be unmistakably 9""to or mirror images of the adopted symbol skfts�all of which an shown in the"Standard Highway SWI book(see Section I.A.11). Symbols and colon shaft not Mile modified unless otherwise stated herein. All symbols and colors for signs not shown in the"Standard Highway Signs"book shall follow the procedures for experimentation and change described in Section 1A.10. Guidance: Aspects of a device's design should be modified only if there is a demonstrated need. Support: An example of modifying a device's design would be to modify the Side Road(W2-2) sign to show a second offset intersecting road. Option: Highway agencies may develop word message signs to notify road users of special regulations or to warn road users of a situation that might not be readily apparent. Unlike symbol signs and colors,new word message signs maybe used without the need for experimentation. With the exception of symbols and colors,minor modifications in the specific design elements of a device may be made provided the essential appearance characteristics are preserved. Although the standard design of symbol signs cannot be modified, it may be appropriate to change the orientation of the symbol to better reflect the direction of travel. Section IA.04 Placement and—Qucration A T c Control Devices Guidance: Placement of a traffic control device should be within the road,user's view so that adequate visibility is provided. To aid in conveying the per meaning,the traffic control device should be appropriately positioned with respect to the location, object,or situation to which it applies. The location and legibility of the traffic control device should be such that a road user has adequate time to make the proper response in both day and night conditions. Traffic control devices should be placed and operated in a uniform and consistent manner. Unnecessary traffic control devices should be removed, The fact that a device is in good physical condition should not be a basis for deferring needed removal or change. Section MOS M akkaw—ce,of Traffic Conkp),Dqvises Guidance - Funcuonal maintenance of traffic control devices should be used to determine if certain devices need to be changed to meet current traffic conditions. Physical maintenance of traffic control devices should be performed to retain the legibility and visibility of the device,and to retain the proper functioning of the device. Support: Clean, legible,property mounted devices in good working condition command the respect of road users. Section IA.06 Un&13WU of Co-ntmi Dgilces sup": Uniformity of devices simplifies the task of the road-user because it aids inrecognition and understanding, thereby reducing perception/reaction time. Uniformity assists road users,law enforcement officers,and traffic courts by giving everyone the same interpretation. Uniformity assists public highway officials through efficiency in manufacture, installation,maintenance, and administration. Uniformity means treating similar situations in a similar way. The use of uniform traffic control devices does not,in itself,constitute uniformity. A standard device used where it is not appropriate is as objectionable as a nonstandard device; in fact,this might be worse, because such misuse might result in disrespect at those locations where the device is needed and appropriate. Section 1A.07 RgVgnsLb ft fQtJLImMc Cop kW Deck Standard: The responsibility for the design,placement,operation,maintenance,and uniformity of traffic control devices shall rest with the public agency or the official having Jurisdiction. 23 CFR 655.603 adopts the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices as the national standard for all traffic control devices histalted on any street,highway,or bicycle traft open to public travel, When a State or per Federal agency Sea I A-03 to IX07 d of report 200 Edition A-3 manual or supplement is required,that manual or supplement shall be in substantial conformance the national Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices 3 also states that traffic control devices on all streets and highways open to public travel in each State he in substantial conformance with standards Issued or endorsed o by the Federal Higbway Administrator. Support; The "Uniform Vehicle Code"(see Section 1A.11)has the.following provision in Section 15-'104 for the adoption of a uniform Manual: AaAbe [State Highway Agency]shall adopt'a manual and specification for auniform system of traffic control devicess consistent with the provisions of this code for use upon highways within this State. Such uniform system shall correlate with and so far as possible conform to the system set forth in the most; recent edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways,and other standards issued or endorsed by the Federal Highway Administrator." "(b)The Manual adopted pursuant to subsection (a)shall have the farce and effect of law:'' Additionally,States am encouraged to adopt Section 15-1 lh of the"Uniform Vehicle Code,"which that, "No person shall install or maintain in any area of private property used by the public any sign,signal, marking or other device intended to regulate,warn, or guide traffic unless it conforms with the State manual and specifications adopted under Section 1 1ti44* Section 1 .08 AUtbgri for Pig ment.of naffir Caner l Derr Standard: Traffic control devices.,advertisements,announcements,and other sips or messages within the highway right-of-way shall be placed only as authorized by a public authority or the official having jurisdiction,for the purpose of regulating,warning,or guiding traffic. When the public agency or the official having jurisdiction over a street or highway has granted pauper authority,others such as contractors and public utility companies shall be permitted to install temporary traffic control devices in temporary traffic contrail zones. Such traffic control devices shall conform with. the Standards of this Man Guidance: Any unauthorized traffic control device or other sign or message placed on the highway right-of-way by a private organization or individual; constitutes a public nuisance and should be removed. All unofficial or nonessential traffic control devices, signs,or messages should be removed. Standard: Ali regulatory traffic control devices shall be supported by laws,ordinauces,or re Supports Provisions of this Mammal are based upon the concept that effective traffic control depends upon both appropriate application of the devices and reasonable enforcement of the regulations. Section ll l,il'9 Engineering SIMdy and Ep&n_eedftJLt1dgMenA Standard: Ibis Manual describes the application of traffic control devices,but shall not be a legal requirement for their installation. Guidance: The decision to use aparticular device at a particular location should be made on the basis of either an engineering study or the application of engineering judgment. Thus,while this Manual provides Standards, Guidance,and Options for design and application of traffic control devices, this Manual should not be considered a substitute for engineering judgment, Engineering judgment should be exercised in the selection and application of traffic control devices,as well as in the location and design of the roads and streets that the devices complement. Jurisdictions with responsibility for traffic control that do not have engineers on their staffs should seek engineering assistance from others, such as the State transportation agency,their County,a nearby large City,or a traffic engineering consultant. Salt.1AA7W IAG9 Page 2A-14 2003 Edition-Revision 2 Section 2A.19 Lateral set Standard: For overhead sign supports,the minimum lateral offset from the edge of the shoulder(or if no shoulder exists,from the edge of the pavement)to the near edge of overhead sign supports(cantilever or sign bridges)shall be 1.8 in(6 ft). Overhead sign supports shall have a barrier or crash cushion to shield them If they am within the clear zone. Ground-ruounted sign supports shall be breakaway,yielding,or shielded with a longitudinal barrier or crash cushion if within the clear zone. Guidance: For ground-mounted signs,the minimum lateral offset should be 3.7 m(12 ft)from the edge sof the traveled way. If a shoulder wider than 1.8 m(6 ft)exists,the minimum lateral offset for ground-mounted signs should be 1.8 m(6 ft)from the edge of the shoulder. Support- The minimum lateral offset is intended to keep trucks and cars that use the shoulders from striking the sips, or supports - Guidance: All supports sboWd be located as far as practical from the edge of the shoulder. Advantage should be taken to place signs behind existing roadside barriers,on over-crossing structures, or other locations that minimize the exposure of the traffic to sign supports. Option: Whems:permitted,sips may be placed on existing supports,used for other purposes,such as highway traffic signal supports, highway lighting supports, and utility poles. Standard: If signs are placed on existing supports,they shall meet other placement criteria contained in this Manual. Option: Lesser lateral offsets may be used on,connecting roadway-,or ramps at interchanges,but not less than 1.8 m (6 ft)from the edge of the traveled way. To areas where lateral offsets are limited,a minimum lateral offset of 0.6 m(2 it)may be used. A minimum offset of 0.3 rn(I ft)from the face of the curb may be used in urban as where sidewalk width is limited or where existing poles are close to the curb. Support: Figures 2A-I and 2A-2 illustrate some examples of the lateral offset requirements contained in this Section. Section 2A-24) Qdgajat Guidance: Unless otherwise stated in this Manual, signs should be vertically mounted at right angles to the direction of, and facing, the traffic that they are intended to serve. Where mirror reflection from the sign face is encountered to such a degree as to reduce legibility,the sign should be turned slightly away from the road. Signs that are placed 9 m (30 ft) or more from the pavement edge should be turned toward the road. On curved alignments,the angle of placement should be determined by the direction of approaching traffic rather than by the roadway edge at the point where the sign is located. Option: On grades,sign faces may be tilled forward or back from the vertical position to improve the viewing angle. Section 2A.21 bomd-Mountings Standard: Sign posts,foundations,and mounts ap shall be so constructed as to hold signs in a proper and permanent position,and to resist swaying in the wind or displacement by vandalism. Support: The latest edition of AASHOO' pecfflcations for Structural Supports for Highway Signs,Luminaires,and Traffic Signals"contains additional information regarding posts and mounting(see Page i for AASKrO's address).

After installation, the fixtures should be cleaned every year or two to remove accumulated dust and dirt. Tests have shown that dust and dirt can reduce light output Up to 50%.`12 Many towns and cities around the country have enacted regulations to eliminate glare, minimize light trespass and help reduce energy and financial costs. The following questions are helpful to measure present outdoor lighting systems, evaluate needs, and design or modify systems:; • Does the area really need lighting?' • Does the system provide safety and security? • Is the hierarchy of lighting oriented to the needs of pedestrians as well as motorists? Is the light distribution uniform and efficient? • During the day do the fixtures enhance or diminish the aesthetic qualities of the roadway and the community?` • Is the lighting intrusive to abutters?` • Does the light quality produce unwanted glare?' Is the system cost-effective for the community in terms of utility costs, construction, and maintenance'?' Light Quality The part of a,light that emits light energy is what people commonly think of as a bulb. In outdoor lighting this, is called a[amp. A number of options exist when choosing lamp types for outdoor lighting;systems, each of which has trade-offs. Factors to consider in lamp selection include: lamp size, light output, appearance, light color, light pollution, optical quality, efficacy and lamp life, initial purchase price and maintenance cost. A well-designed illumination system can require a lower energy output while amply satisfying illumination needs. To evaluate the benefits of different lamp types it is useful to compare them using the information in Table 4. Lamp color differences can be used to great effect in public lighting to delineate a lighting hierarchy throughout the town. Because yellow lighting causes the landscape to appear as shades of gray, white lighting is generally preferred where accurate color rendering is needed to improve the perception of outdoor environments. This is especially important at the pedestrian scale. '?

Typically, heights range from 20 to 50 feet. Lamp types include mercury vapor, metal halide, and high-pressure sodium. These lamps are sometimes called "cobra heads'' due to their design that is typically a tall pole with an arched fleck that held the lamp.

Noise, light pollution (boar from headlights and pole ` tights), trash,trespassing and lack of privacy are common complaints of abutters, A Minimum setback of twenty feet between residential properties,and drive-through facilities (including parking lots and drives)is recommended. This area, depending on the site,should be left natural or augmented with landscaping and fencing(sec photograph to the right). The landscaping should be designed to provide year-round protection to the abutter. t 43 $ Landscaping of drive-through facilities is an important aspect of the overall appearance of a site. The photographs i ? ` on the next page illustrate the difference landscaping can make. In the top photograph the lack of a setback requirement and lack of landscaping create an uninviting, inhospitable area. The second short shows that setbacks and landscaping can improve the overall appearance,while still serving the needs of vehicles. Drive-Through Facilities Review Standards? Part 1 September,2001 1`6' Signs/Lighting Signs and lighting are design considerations that should be „ addressed in a community's zoning by-laws. The number, heighten size and the method of sign lighting can affect the character of a community,;as well as, safe travel along the roadway. The height and intensity of lighting can also negatively impact neighbors and traffic along roadways. The photos below and to the right show examples of sign blight,excessive lighting (brighter than a professional baseball stadium) and excessive sign size.

March 22,2008 Lueen Jodoin 1736 Main St. Agawam, Ma. 01001 Planning Board of Agawam, It has been suggested by some of my neighbors that I address you with some concerns that we have in regards to the proposed site plans for 1744 Main St.I have enclosed some sections of the Zoning and Ordinance Laws that we feel should come under serious study in relation to this site. This site indeed abuts my property but the scenarios there affect not only myself but the entire neighborhood, as well as the town. Lest we not forget the parking debacle of last summer.We fear that this"Plan"would turn out to be a"front"for parking 'V1+'e fail to see the enhancement that another TwistCy's would bring to an area laden with traffic congestion,excess noise levels,trash pollution,and various pedestrians bling on a State Mghway during the Six,Flags operating season.It is also difficult enough,on any given weekend,to navigate in and out of our own driveways,let alone tbrough the center of Agawam. The impact can traffic safety,specifically in this designated area should be seriously considered. Prior to Six Flags relocating their exit area,there were various id is over the courseof a weekerfd, With another business directly across from this drive there would be a potential increase of endangerment on our roadways. Further more, we see no favorable potential in our quality of life,our property values, aesthetic gratification to the area or financial gain for the residents, nor the Toren of Agawam. The only one whofl1 gain with this endeavor will be the owner of 1744 Main St We implore the Eduard keep these insights in mind during your evaluation of this plan, "Thank you. for your time. sincerely, e MAR 3 t Lueen Joldoin and the residents of south Main St. i6ARD 4P APPEALS ae , C� ,; Alern Orand urn To: Planning Boar, C'C.

One war to minimize this crash potential is to design the exit for south bound traffic only. Respectfully Submitted Y� Sgt. R- files Safety Officer Agawam.Police Department
