A site walk was conducted and it was determined that there is a stream located just off the southern property line. There are also wetlands associated with this stream. Therefore, any proposal to use the rear portion of 1265 Suffield Street would necessitate a filing with the Conservation Commission. Henry A.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Planning Office. Sincerely, w . Julie Chartier, Acting Chairperson Agawam Planning Board cc: Town Clerk Town of Agawam 36 Main Street Agawam, Massachusetts 01001-1837 Tel. 413-786-0400 Fax 413-786-9927 MEMO TO: AGAWAM PLANNING BOARD FROM: DEBORAH S. DACHOS, DIRECTOR OFFICE OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. SUBJECT: Rear Portion of 1265 Suffield Street, Agawam DATE: April 23, 2003 On March 28, 2003, the Planning,Board received a request for a zone change fora parcel of land located to the rear of 1265 Suffield Street from Agriculture to Business B. The property is presently owned by Elk Associate Funding Corporation of New York,New York. The property known as 1265 Suffield Street consists of 5.85 acres though only the first two hundred (200) feet are in the Business B zone. The property had previously been Mitch's Nursery. More recently,it was owned by Berko Realty LLC and was sold in 2000. The Planning Office has conducted a review of this proposal and submits this report for your information. The original Mitch's building is approximately 37,026 sq. ft. in size and was constructed in 1990. It is of wood construction with an asphalt roof. The building has been vacant for a couple of years. A portion of the building appears to be located in the Agricultural District. The building is surrounded by a large paved area which also appears to be located in the Agricultural District. The property has approximately 195' of frontage on Suffield Street. I have attached for your information a number of pieces of information. I have included a copy of the plan submitted by the applicant showing the proposed zoning map change. I have also attached a copy of the Assessor's map showing the property as it is listed for tax purposes. I have also included the tax card information. Land Use and Zoning As stated above, the property for which the zone change is being requested, is located in the Agricultural District. A strip of Business B is located along the easterly side of Suffield Street from South Street to Adams Street. The strip is 200' deep. A copy of the zoning map for this area has • • been attached. As the map shows,there are three houses located in front of the area for which the zone change is being requested. The three homes are zoned Business B and the area located immediately behind these houses is zoned Business B. The south side of the property is abutted by two residential lots located on Keller Drive. The rear of these lots contain wetlands which serve as a natural buffer to the subject property. This wetland area will be discussed further in the following Environmental Considerations section. The property is abutted to the east by rear land of a residential lot located at 364 South Street which is zoned Agricultural where it abuts the property. To the north is a single family lot which is 1.3 acres in size,the first 200'of which is zoned Business B. If the zoning is changed from Agricultural to Business B, the following uses would be allowed: (please refer to Section 180-48 of the Zoning Ordinance which is attached): ♦ Any use permitted in a Residence or an Agricultural District, except new residential buildings. ♦ Storage of a maximum of one hundred fifty (150) motor vehicles for holders of first- and second-class motor vehicle dealer licenses. Body and fender work and the painting of cars out of doors is prohibited. The storage of dismantled vehicles or vehicle parts out of doors is prohibited. The storage of complete units such as truck bodies, tailgates, road sanders, farm machinery, school buses and ambulances is permitted. ♦ Amusement parks,bowling alleys and roller skating rinks or arcades containing three(3)or more pinball or electronic games. ♦ Wholesale sales and warehousing. ♦ Converting, fabricating, manufacturing, altering, finishing or assembling, provided that in no case is a total of more than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet of floor space devoted to such use. ♦ Trucking terminals may be allowed only after a public hearing by the Board of Appeals. 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. Environmental Considerations Just off the southern property line is a stream which flows along the rear of the two last lots on Keller Drive. The stream does have some associated wetlands. Under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act both the stream, wetlands and the area within 100' of the wetlands is protected. As a result, the properties located to the south of this parcel have a natural protected buffer. Other Considerations The proposed Zoning Map change,if approved,will do a couple of things. First, it will enable the applicants to use their property for business purposes. The derelict nature of the building is a direct result of the inability of prospective buyers to use the rear of the property,approximately over three acres. For all intents and purposes this land is land locked. The east side of Suffield Street is presently zoned Business B. Therefore, the changing of this property would be consistent with the intended use for this area. All abutting properties either currently are zoned Business B or are buffered by wetlands. The only exception to this is the back portions of both 264 South Street and 1248 Suffield Street. The property to be rezoned is at its closest points 560' from the house on 264 South Street and approximately 175' from the house at 1248 Suffield Street. PETITION FOR ZONE CHANGE C PETITION FOR ZONE CHANGE March 26, 2003r- - ' : co The Town Council Town of Agawam ' :� > g Town Hall Agawam, MA 01001 -j M. Re: Petition for Zone Change-Rear Portion of 1265 fish, Agawam, MA (the "Property") •�: Ladies and Gentlemen: The Undersigned Respectfully Petitions as follows: The Applicant, John C. Ansart, is the sole shareholder of Skip's Outdoor Accents, Inc. ("Skip's"), Skip's is a retailer and distributor of specialty outdoor furniture and playground sets (the`Business"). Skip's is currently conducting its Business in West Springfield and leases property on Riverdale Road. The Applicant has become a party to a Contract for the Purchase and Sale of Real Estate and wishes to purchase the Property(the"Agreement"). The Applicant's performance pursuant to the Agreement is wholly contingent upon, however, first obtaining a zone change for the rear portion of Property,as without a zone change, the use of the Business at the Property would not be lawful. The Property is located on the easterly side of Suffield Street near Hubbard Corner and is approximately two (2)miles from the Massachusetts/Connecticut border. A legal description of the 'entire Property is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Property is presently zoned both Business B and Agricultural. Although the Property consists of 5.85 acres, only the first two hundred (200) feet (easterly from Suffield Street) are in a Business B zone (see attached Plan labeled Exhibit B)and the balance of the Property is in an "Agricultural"zone. A legal description of that portion of the Property which is zoned only"Agricultural" is attached hereto as Exhibit C and is shown as Parcel "A" on the attached Plan. The Applicant wishes to utilize the entire Property as part of its Business. A zone change would be consistent with other business uses in the surrounding area,would not derogate from the intent of the Zoning Ordinance and would allow the Applicant and Skip's to become a viable part of the business community in Agawam. Wherefore, the Applicant requests that the Town Council grant a zone change from Agricultural to Business B for that portion of the Property which is not already Business B.

Re: Petition for Zone Change—Rear Portion of 1265 Suffield Street, Agawam, MA(the "Property") Ladies and Gentlemen: The Undersigned Respectfully Petitions as follows: The Applicant, John C. Ansart, is the sole shareholder of Skip's Outdoor Accents, Inc. ("Skip's"). Skip's is a retailer and distributor of specialty outdoor furniture and playground sets (the"Business"). Skip's is currently conducting its Business in West Springfield and leases property on Riverdale Road. The Applicant has become a party to a Contract for the Purchase and Sale of Real Estate and wishes to purchase the Property(the"Agreement"). The Applicant's performance pursuant to the Agreement is wholly contingent upon, however, first obtaining a zone change for the rear portion of Property, as without a zone change, the use of the Business at the Property would not be lawful. The Property is located on the easterly side of Suffield Street near Hubbard Corner and is approximately two (2)miles from the Massachusetts/Connecticut border. A legal description of the entire Property is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Property is presently zoned both Business B and Agricultural. Although the Property consists of 5.85 acres,only the first two hundred(200) feet (easterly from Suffield Street) are in a Business B zone (see attached Plan labeled Exhibit B) and the balance of the Property is in an"Agricultural"zone. A legal description of that portion of the Property which is zoned only "Agricultural" is attached hereto as Exhibit C and is shown as Parcel "A" on the attached Plan_ The Applicant wishes to utilize the entire Property as part of its Business. A zone change would be consistent with other business uses in the surrounding area,would not derogate from the intent of the Zoning Ordinance and would allow the Applicant and Skip's to become a viable part of the business community in Agawam. Wherefore, the Applicant requests that the Town Council grant a zone change from Agricultural to Business B for that portion of the Property which is not already Business B.

The Applicant's performance pursuant to the Agreement is wholly contingent upon, however, first obtaining a zone change for the rear portion of Property, as without a zone change,the use of the Business at the Property would not be lawful. The Property is located on the easterly side of Suffield Street near Hubbard Corner and is approximately two (2)miles from the Massachusetts/Connecticut border. A legal description of the entire Property is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Property is presently zoned both Business B and Agricultural. Although the Property consists of 5.95 acres,only the first two hundred (200) feet (easterly from Suffield Street) are in a Business B zone(see attached Plan labeled Exhibit B) and the balance of the Property is in an "Agricultural" zone. A legal description of that portion of the Property which is zoned only"Agricultural"is attached hereto as Exhibit C and is shown as Parcel "A"on the attached Plan.

The Undersigned Respectfully Petitions as follows: The Applicant, John C. Ansart, is the sole shareholder of Skip's Outdoor Accents, Inc. ("Skip's"). Skip's is a retailer and distributor of specialty outdoor furniture and playground sets (the"Business")_ Skip's is currently conducting its Business in West Springfield and leases property on Riverdale Road. The Applicant has become a party to a Contract for the Purchase and Sale of Real Estate and wishes to purchase the Property(the"Agreement'). The Applicant's performance pursuant to the Agreement is wholly contingent upon,however, first obtaining a zone change for the rear portion of Property, as without a zone change,the use of the Business at the Property would not be lawful. The Property is located on the easterly side of Suffield Street near Hubbard Corner and is approximately two (2)miles from the Massachusetts/Connecticut border. A legal description of the entire Property is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Property is presently zoned both Business B and Agricultural. Although the Property consists of 5.85 acres,only the first two hundred(200) feet (easterly from Suffield Street) are in a Business B zone (see attached Plan labeled Exhibit B) and the balance of the Property is in an"Agricultural"zone. A legal description of that portion of the Property which is zoned only"Agricultural"is attached hereto as Exhibit C and is shown as Parcel "A"on the attached Plan. The Applicant wishes to utilize the entire Property as part of its Business. A zone change would be consistent with other business uses in the surrounding area,would not derogate from the intent of the Zoning Ordinance and would allow the Applicant and Skip's to become a viable part of the business community in Agawam. Wherefore, the Applicant requests that the Town Council grant a zone change from Agricultural to Business B for that portion of the Property which is not already Business B.
