The Board has taken this action based upon the decision of the Agawam Board of Appeals,case#1692,which prohibits the placing of storage containment boxes on the site. If, in the fixture, you find the need to make more improvements to the site, a Site Plan will be required. If you have any questions,please contact the Planning Office at 786-0400, extension 283. Sincerely, Dennis B.Hopkins, Chairman Agawam Planning Board cc: Clerk' Engineering Building Board of Appeals Attorney Beglane File IR TOWN OF AGAW 36 MMN STREET AGA WAM, MA 0100,E BOARD OF APPEALS May 12, 2003 Town of Agawam 36 Main Street Agawam,MA 01001 Att: Planning Board To Whom It May Concern: This is in response to your letter dated April 4, 2003 regarding Richy's Tree Services. It appears that you are requesting the Board of Appeals to put the cart before the horse. Your statement that"the Planning Board anticipates that there will be a number of changes that it will require to the Site Plan if the use is approved". You should be aware that a site plan approved under special permit by the Board of Appeals is final and no addition or alteration to these plans can be made without approval by the Board of Appeals. We appreciate your concern to the applicant not to incur additional cost,but the health, safety and welfare to our community comes first. We suggest, to your board, that you read the Board of Appeals letter sent to you March 12, 2003, which reads "comments and recommendations you may have to our Board, so that we may consider them in our final decision". If you have any recommendations please give them to us to use, and not after we issue the permit.

The Board anticipates that there will be a number of changes that it will require to the Site Plan if the use is approved. Out of consideration to the applicant,the Board will not require that he incur the cost of the plan revisions, unless and until the Board of Appeals acts favorably on the application. The Board also tabled action on the Bondi's Island submission. The Chairman of the Conservation Commission has asked that the applicant file a Determination of Applicability with the Commission. Finally the Board tabled action on the Tower Venture's Site Plan because revised plans have not been submitted. If you have any questions,please contact the Planning Office.

From: Engineering Date: April 3, 2003 Subject: Site Plan 417 -Richy's Tree Service - Silver Street We have reviewed the site plan entitled"Proposed Site Plan Agawam, MA; Prepared for: Richy's Tree Service,Feeding Hills, MA; Date: 1-27-03; Scale 1"=40'.", and have the following comments: 1. We could not complete this review due to missing information, if we assume this is a temporary installation we could approve it for that time period (no more than a year from approval date) with the following conditions: A. Request trip generation data and types of vehicles entering and exiting the site. B. Must protect any existing bituminous sidewalk from vehicular traffic damage. C. Would recommend bituminous pavement from Silver Street up to the 20'metal gate. D. Would recommend extending driveway width from 15'to 20' starting from the metal gate to existing pavement on Silver Street and installing a new 20'Radius curve at driveway exit. 2. Recommend more time to do a more in-depth sight distance study, traffic study, and review possible need for a culvert and general drainage design for a long term approval. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, C Sincerely, tw es T. Daley, P.E. Adam S.

Street address should be provided. Description of Project: Proposed tree cutting service. See attached narrative. Site Flan Review Page 2 Description of Site: Site is mostly wooded and has a large wetland area to the rear. The Chairman of the Conservation Commission has inspected the site. He has recommended that the resource areas be mapped (wetland and buffer) prior to the Planning Board acting on the site plan. There are two residential structures close to where the work is being done. Provision for Traffic Flow: There is a 15' gravel driveway into the site from Silver Street. Parking: The plan is conceptual. It does not show dimensions of parking. Drainage: Drainage from the site has not been addressed. Public Utilities: Not provided. Landscaping/Screening and Buffers: Not provided. Sign Location: Not provided. Exterior Lighting: Not provided. Rendering or Elevations: Not provided. Dumpster Location: Not provided. Other Comments or Concerns: This plan was provided to the Planning Board and the Board of Appeals as a result of the Building Inspector determining that the use is offensive and needs a Special Permit from the Board of Appeals. The abutters complained about the noise associated with the activities conducted on the site (i.e., chain saws, chippers, etc.). I would suggest that the Planning Board delay action on this plan until it is determined whether the Board of Appeals will approve the use. If they do, then the Planning Board may wish to consider sound barriers, permanent structures to house sanitary facilities, formal parking and the like.
