There must have been a mix up in the originals. The plans do not address: 1) The stockade fence mentioned in item 1 of the Board's letter, 2) are unclear regarding the hedge screen on the west.side, 3) do not show the 5 foot concrete walk along the south side of South Street, 4) lack the Board's waiver of the required 300' separating distance between intersecting streets, 5) lack the connecting water main from the cul - de - sac to Cosgrove Street via the Town's easement. it was our understanding that the Board supported this public health measure which the DEP and EPA have been looking for in distribution systems.

A "Notice of Intent" will be required which should include a detail of erosion/sediment control barriers. 2. There are several trees located in the construction area which have a diameter of 8" or greater at breast height, these should be labeled on the plan. 3. The minimum distance between adjacent parallel streets is three hundred (300) feet at intersections. This provision includes streets on both sides of the street intersected. A waiver will be needed for less than 300 foot separation between the proposed street and any intersecting streets (Cosgrove St., Quail Hollow Rd. and Oxford St.). All of these intersections should be shown on sheet I of 2. 4. There is an existing 30 ft wide sanitary sewer easement entering the site 326.58 ft to the north of the south west corner of the site. The easement continues through the property, entering Cosgrove St., just south of Carolyn Thurston's Property. This should be added to the plan. 5. The 5` wide sidewalk should be extended along the south side of South Street from its intersection with Cosgrove Street to its intersection with Quail Hollow Road. This will provide a safe path to the Clark School. All of the above should be cement concrete walks. 6. In order to prevent a dead end in the water line, causing water quality degradation, the eight inch water main is to be connected to the water main on Cosgrove Street via the Town of Agawam's property located to the south of Walter Blair's property. Size of this connector will be determined at the time of submission of the Definitive Plans. Although this provision has been called for on other subdivisions, communications with DEP indicate that this probably will be a policy from here on. At the Definitive Plan stage, the sewer profile will have to be designed to allow adequate cover at the south end, since there may be an adverse road grade above the sewer. 7. A member from the Town ofAgawam's Engineering Division should be present during test pit excavations and/or soil borings. 8. After submittal of storm drain permit application, determination will be made regarding the need of detention basin.

INTRODUCTION The Town of Agawam Planning Board Rules and Regulations require that an Environmental Study be prepared and Submitted with the filling of a Preliminary Subdivision plan. The current proposal for the creation of a six lot subdivision oft South Street in Agawam, Massachusetts, requires such a study. Thus Mr. Russo the applicant , is submitting this Environmental Study which describes the impact upon the physical environment of the proposed use required per Article 3 . 159-6.C,1-3 of the Rules and Regulations of the Agawam Planning Board. In this study, we have addressed the concerns noted in Article 3, of the Rules and Regulations relating to ; protection of wetlands , water courses, topography drainage,vegetation,wildlife,asthethics,easements,traffic,solid waste, air and water quality, hazardous substance control,historic and archealogical preservation, recreation, as well as the Town's Master Plan. A. Master Plan The Town of Agawam's Master Plan was prepared by Brown, Donald and Donald in 1976. In relation to the current subdivision proposal, it is consistent with the contents of the Master flan. B. Zoning The parcel contains two zones for the site and they are Agriculture and Residence A-2. C. Uses and Controls The proposed use is consistent with the existing Master Plan and falls within the lot size limits for the Agriculture and Residence A-2 zones. Ill. EXISTING MINDITIONS A. Topggranhy The site slopes from South Street southerly to the end of the property. Approximately 94% Of this site is of flat gradient. B. Water Jable The water on average is below 6' in depth and remains consistant throughout the site. C. Draj]a Fq� eature_s Currently the site runoff travels via overland flow to a brook located in the middle of the proposed site to Worthington Brook to Four Mile Brook and eventually to the Connecticut River. D. Natural Geological Elements The soils on the site are identified as follows: MeA - Merrimac sandy loam 0 -3%slopes Ru - Rumney sandy loam 0-3%slopes By US Soil Conservation Service in their Soil Survey of Hampden County, Mass-Central Part. The MeA soil complex has few limitations for most urban uses.While the Ru soil complex is limited in use. E. Vecietafion The site is abandoned field. F. Wfldfite Habitat The wildlife habitat on the site is limited due to the lack of diversity in the plant life. During our investigation of the site in December 1998. we observed evidence of common song birds and a few small mammals. G. Scenic QualmW_ The scenic quality of the parcel is good due to the fact the developer plans on only clearing those areas that are necessary for road construction and residences. IV. PROPOSED_DEVELOPMENTJMPACTS The topography, soil, geological setting, vegetation and lack of significance wildlife habitat all lend themselves to the proposed use as a housing subdivision. The subdivision will require the installation of sewer, water and storm water systems. The site is serviced by Town water and sewer. Storm water will be addressed when the definitive plans are submitted with an on site level spreader retention system with overflow control features. It is expected that the visual quality of the land will be enhanced by the creation of a well planned and implemented residential area with appropriate landscaping which will include lawns, shrubs, and shade trees. The Traffic generated by a six lot subdivision is not expected to have an appreciable impact on South Street or on adjacent arteries. The close proximity of Suffield Street will relieve most of the potential traffic increases. • 0 We do not anticipate any negative solid waste, air, water, radiation, hazardous substance, historic architectural, archealogical or outdoor recreational impacts due to the proposed development. The applicant will be filing a Notice of Intent under M.G.L. Chapter 131, section 40 with the Agawam Conservation Commission since the retention level spreader in near an area of concern. V. SUMMABY The site is suitable for a housing subdivision and will fit in quite nicely with the existing subdivisions neighboring the site. A wetland Notice of Intent will be filed with the Agawam Conservation Commission for the detention design; however no major concerns are anticipated. Vl.
