Dear Councilors:
At its duly called meeting held on September 19, 2002, the Agawam Planning Board voted to
withdraw its petition to the Town Council for amendments to the Zoning Ordinance regarding lot
widths. The Board has determined that the proposed amendments will result in the creation of too
many nonconforming lots. The Board is still committed to addressing the issue of frontage and will
be drafting a new proposed amendment in the near future.
Sincerely,
Dennis A. Hopkins,Chairman

Dear Councilors:
At its duly called meeting held on August 15, 2002, the Agawam Planning Board voted to act as
petitioner for the attached proposed zoning amendments. For a number of years the Planning Board
has discussed the need to define "frontage" so that the integrity and intent of Agawam's Zoning
Ordinance can be preserved. Agawam's Zoning Ordinance does not currently contain a definition
for frontage, but does specify what the frontage must be for lots created in each of the zoning
districts. The frontage requirements by District are listed in Table 1 below.
Table 1
Agawam Frontage Requirements by
District
District Frontage
Requirement
Residence A - 1 125 feet
Residence A- 2 110 feet
Residence A- 3 150 feet
Residence A- 4 25 feet
Residence B 150 feet for a 4-
family
100 feet all others
Agricultural 120 feet
Business A 25 feet
Business B 100 feet
Industrial A 100 feet
Industrial B 100 feet
The purpose of specifying a frontage dimension is related to public safety and planning. From a
public safety perspective, a lot must have a minimum width on a public way to enable safety
vehicles to have unobstructed access to the building in case of fire or other emergencies. From a
planning prospective, Chapter 40A enables communities to regulate the size and shape of lots to
allow for a planned community. Size and shape of lots enables communities to determine the
number of lots which ultimately can be constructed and the services these new residents will need.
There has been a tremendous amount of case law over the years which defines what is considered
to be frontage with an emphasis on"illusory"frontage. Illusory frontage is frontage that meets the
literal definition but results in a"can't get there from here" scenario. Developers have been very
creative in designing these type of lots.
Attached you will find two "creative" Form A's received recently by the Planning Office. There
have been a number of these type of lots in recent years, but our record keeping system does not
enable us to identify them easily. Each of these plans show a lot configuration which allows the lot
to have the required frontage on a public way, but this width does not extend back to the buildable
area of the lot. Most towns have defined frontage to ensure that the intent of the zoning is not
circumvented. In some communities the "illusory" frontage issue is tackled by defining lot width.
The Town of Hadley is one such example. Lot width is defined by fitting a 150' X 150' square
within the front area of the lot. In Agawam, we could use a square which corresponds with the
required frontage. This is the approach the Planning Board has decided to propose. It works simply
and creative types of lot could be eliminated.
If you have any specific questions about this proposal, please contact the Planning Office at 786-
0400, extension 283.
S'ncerely,
Dennis B. Hopkins, Acting Chairman 44

to have the required frontage on a public way, but this width does not extend back to the buildable
area of the lot. Most towns have defined frontage to ensure that the intent of the zoning is not
circumvented.
I have provided you with two different approaches to this problem. The first defines frontage so that
it is measured from the front setback line. In most cases it would be measured 30'to 40' from the
street line. The other approach is used by Hadley. Using this approach the width of a lot is
determined by defining the width of a lot. This is done by fitting a 150'X 150' square within the
front area of the lot. In Agawam, we could use a square which corresponds with the required
frontage.
Please consider the two proposals or draft your own suggestion on how to avoid the "creative" lot
design syndrome. I would like the Planning Board's support for a zoning amendment as soon as
possible.
