Simpson, Councilor Dear Councilors: At its duly called meeting held on May 5, 2005, the Agawam Planning Board voted to send a; positive recommendation to the Agawam Town Council in support of the two DePalma zone changes. The parcels are located at 497 and 683 South Westfield Street. Mr. DePalma indicated during his public hearing a commitment to assisting the Town in the extension of sewers to southwest Feeding Hills. The Planning Board has sent the Planning Department, Engineering Department and Safety Officers comments on this project to the Council under separate cover. These comments discuss in detail the need for sewers, possible water expansion and road improvements which will be necessary for this project. The Planning Board asks that Mr. DePalma submit the commitment to the sewer project in writing and that the granting of the zone change be conditioned on the receipt of this commitment. If you have any questions, please contact the Planning Office at 786-0400 extension 283. Sincerely, Dennis B.

Stone, Supt.,File APR 2 0 Z005 From: Engineering.—Oeorganne Ho an, Town engineer PLANNING BOARD Date 19,2005 .Subject. Zone Change Request—497 South Westfield St. Per your request dated, March 31, 2005, the proposed zone change of 49.81 Acre parcel at 497 South Westfield St. has been reviewed. The following are my comments.. Sanitary Sewers- 1. This site is not currently served by sanitary sewers. This is one of the areas identified in the Southwest Area Sewer Study (SASI) by Tighe & Bond for the Town of Agawam for future sewer improvements. See attached sewer system diagram. . The status of the Southwest Area Sewer Improvement (SASI) project is that the To 's consultant is proceeding to address the Executive Office of Environmental Affair's (EOEA comments on the Environmental Notification Form (ENF). A draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is scheduled to be completed this spring. The funding source for future sever improvements in the southwest area of town in to be determined in the future. The construction schedule for the phase of this project which would serve this parcel is still to be determined. Changes in zoning of large parcels which would allow development of higher density than that which was assumed in the development of this study would have to be taken into consideration in the EIp submittal. One of the comments by the Commonwealth is the state's goal of limiting growth within currently undeveloped areas. The proposed zoning change would be counter to this commonwealth goal. 3. The SASI Project will address this area(subarea 15)in phase I of construction as described in the SASI report. If this project's construction schedule is not adequate for the owner, a portion of the SASI Phase I proposed sewer construction could be taken on by the developer, in order to expedite sewer service to this area. See attached Figure 6-1 from SASI report. 4. The proposed :zone change would allow an increase in the possible density of people per acre from 10.2 person/acre for Residence A-2 to 28 person/acre for Residence -3. This assumes 3.5 people per household unit. This density of zoning was not contemplated for the design of the sewer system for this area. SAPLA.NNING'zone changels wsttkd 05\01 zone change 497 S. W d St..doc 5. Tighe & Bond has produced a conceptual plan to provide sewer service to this parcel showing a number of possible alignments. This sewer could be located within easements in as outside of the two parcels which are being considered for zone changes. This sewer main could be private or public depending upon the discretion of the DPW Superintendent.. It may also be necessary for a pump station to be built to serve one or both parcels considered for the zone change. This pump station would be private if it were to serve apartment complexes or condominiums. The owner would be responsible for the design, construction, permitting, and maintenance of this station and potentially the sewer run to the existing sewer on Shoemaker Lane. Other components of this alignment would be crossing two existing culverts which carry wetlands and a brook under Rt. 57 within the state's layout. Crossing these culverts with a buried sewer would raise the elevation of this interceptor between 3 and 4 feet. Another option might be to cross the wetlands / brooks at these locations with an"posed sewer supported within a structure/bridge. This alternative would probably present very,challenging environmental permitting requirements. Further study and design would be required to verify these concepts. The owner of these proposed development sites would potentially have to bear a substantial if not all of the cost associated with permitting, design, and construction. Water Distribution 6. Water service is available on South Westfield St see attached diagram. 71. A water distribution model is currently being developed for the Town by Tighe & Bond. Once that model is complete, detailed modeling of any proposed development at these parcels could be performed. The model results would indicate the adequacy of water pressures and the site. Also, if flows were found to not be adequate,possible scenarios of water distribution improvements could be run to determine what improvements would be necessary to provide adequate water flow to the site. The owner of proposed development may be required to fund, design, and construct water distribution improvements depending on future site proposals. It should be noted that this density of land use was not contemplated within the original Water Distribution Study. This Study was the basis of the water distribution system design and the sizing of current water mains. As noted in comment 4., the current zoning of Residence A-2 allows a maximum of 10.2 people/acre, the proposed zoning of Residence A-3 allows 28 people/acre. & A review of the 2004 Insurance Services Office Inc. (I.S.O.I.) report of hydrant flow data for the Town was reviewed. The report indicates that a test at South Westfield St. north of Bradford Drive does not have adequate flow rates at 20,psi using I.S.O.I. standards for a commercial property fire protection. I would def&to the Fire Department for further interpretation of these results. Traffic Generation/Local Roadway Network SAPLANNING,zone change\s wstfld 05\0 1 zone change 497 S. Wfld StAoc 9. Rt. 187 Roadway Reconstruction Project is currently under design by VHB for the To of Agawam. This project includes the reconstruction of a segment of Pine St. and its intersection with South Westfield St. which would serve the majority of traffic generated by the future development of the site. Currently, lit. 187 does not meet current standards for roadway width and the existing vertical alignment of the roadway and intersection must be lowered 2 to 3 feet to improve sight distance at this stop sign controlled intersection. The improvements will not be constructed until the design is complete and funding is available from the regional transportation funding administered by Mass Highway, Federal Highway, and the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission. At the earliest, this project would begin construction in 2006, but more likely it will be 3 to 5 years or more for the funding to be made available for this project amongst all regional transportation improvement projects. The developer should consider the possibility of funding and constructing these roadway improvements as part`,of future site improvements. Some portion of this work may be required depending on the location of intersections, and the use of the site. In any case, sight distances at any proposed intersections with South Westfield St* would have to be adequate for any site plan or subdivision approval to move forward. If you have any questions or comments,please do not hesitate to contact me. /cor e J Ho an,"7P.E.

Envionmulal ConsideEatiQnS The first site is the northerly parcel on South Westfield Street. Of the approximately 49.81 acres, less than half is wooded. The rest of the property is open agricultural land. There are also wetlands along the central portion of the property. Referring to The Soil Survey of Hampden County, Massachusetts, Central Part, prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture,the property consists primarily of Agawam B, fine sandy loam and Scantic Variant, silt loam with pockets of Meckesville, very stony loam and Raynham, silt loam.Agawam B, has little constraint for building site development. Scantic Variant has a severe constraint for building due to wetness. The small pockets of Meckesville and Raynham contain soils that are unsuitable for building due to severe frost and wetness. The second property under consideration is the southerly parcel on South Westfield Street. Of the 39.76 acres,much of the parcel is open agricultural land. Referring to The Soil Survey ofHampden County,Massachusetts, Central Part,the second property consists of a variety of soil types making this a complex site. The primary soil types are Agawam B, fine sandy loam, Carver, loamy coarse sand and Pollux B, fine sandy loam. There are small pockets of Windsor,loamy sand and Wareham, loamy sand. The soil type along the banks of the Philo Brook consists of Raynham, silt loam. The primary soil types have slight constraints for buil'ding. The pockets of Windsor soil have a slight constraint for building and the pockets of Wareham soils have a severe constraint due to wetness. Raynham soils are unsuitable for building due to severe frost and wetness, The residence on the southern parcel, 683 South Westfield Street, is registered under the Massachusetts Historical Commission. This Building has historical significance in the Town's agricultural community. A Determination of Applicability delineating the wetland resources and a Notice of Intent will be required prior to any construction being approved on this site. There is a large wetland body in the center of the northerly site. Philo, Brook runs directly through the central portion of the southern parcel. Also, there is a large wetland body in the center of this parcel, These resource areas are shown on the parcel map. U15t9rigal Considerations The property may contain archaeological sites. According to the Institute for Conservation Archaeology Peabody Museum report, An Overview of the Cultural Resources of Agawam Massachusetts, 1978 a"collection area" of known prehistoric significance may lie on the parcel. These may have been specialized hunting camps and are most likely located near springs and wetlands according to the report. The report also states that there is moderate potential for hunting camps. A copy of the map contained in the report is attached. In addition, the residence on the southern parcel, 683 South Westfield Street has been listed in Agawam's Inventory of Historic Structures. As such, the Town's Demolition Delay Ordinance would come into play. A copy of the inventory sheet has been attached, PARCEL A ,a t A' � 3 ii ,� x 9 � 4 z 4 k a,. G.
