SUBJECT: V & F AUTO/Springfield Street
DATE: JUNE 14, 2000
On June I3, 2000, 1 received a telephone call from an abutter to V & F Auto asking what was
going on behind their building. I asked the Engineering Department to go out to the site. Jim
Daley returned and informed me that Mr. Palange was grading the rear of this property, laying
stone dust and installing drainage. He informed Mr. Daley that he was just improving an area
where he parks business related vehicles.
I have reviewed all of the previous files for V & F Auto and find no approval for anything to be
done behind his building. Further, I do not believe that this area is zoned for Business purposes.
The Agawam Zoning Ordinance, 180-13 B (4) states"Changes to parking and/or curb cuts will
always necessitate site plan review".
Please advise this office how to proceed with this matter. �" h - 6 0

From: Engineering Division
Date: May 18, 2000
Subject: Site Plan - V & F Auto - 443 Springfield St. SP 310
Per your request dated May 3, 2000 we have reviewed the site plan entitled, " Site Plan
in Agawam, MA, for V & F Reality Partnership, by Anderson Associates, dated March, 2000,
scale 1" = 20'." We have the following comments:
1. We have been advised by the Building Inspector that if the proposed retaining walls are
less than 10' from the base of the footing to the top of wall they will not have to be
designed and stamped by a Professional Engineer. Our division recommends having a
Professional Engineer design site specific retaining walls.
2. All drainage issues can be resolved when the applicant files for a Storm Drain Permit with
the Department of Public Works.
3. The designer has advised us that they will place a Professional Engineer's stamp on these
drawings.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact our division.

MEMO
To: Planning Board
From: Sergeant Donald Gallerani
Subject: Site Plan-V&F Auto-Springfield Street
Date: May 18,2000
The addition of a second level of parking at V&F Auto will have no impact on pedestrian or
traffic safety.
Although they are within the Town Ordinance for Handicapped parking, I would recommend
designating 3 or 4 spaces in front of the building handicapped because of the grade of the parking
lot.

To: Planning Board
CC: Anderson Associates, John P. Stone, File
From: Engineering Division
Date: May 15, 2000
Subject: Site Plan - V & F Auto - 443 Springfield St. SP 310
Per your request dated May 3, 2000 we have reviewed the site plan entitled, " Site Plan
in Agawam, MA, for V & F Reality Partnership, by Anderson Associates, dated March, 2000,
scale 1" = 20'." We have the following comments:
1. The following notes should be added to the plan:
"Prior to installation of any sewer, water or drainage, the contractor/owner shall contact the
Town of Agawam's Engineering Division, at 786-0400 ext. 275 / 284. No
piping/appurtenances will be installed or backfilled without the permission of the division."
"All plantings must be maintained and that portion of the public way abutting the parcel and
including the treebelt shall be maintained in a safe and attractive condition by the owner of
the parcel."
2. The Western Mass Electric Co. Easement should be shown on the plans.
3. The submitted plan must be stamped by a Massachusetts Professional Engineer for the
design of the proposed retaining walls. Additional proposed grades should be included
along the top and bottom of the proposed retaining walls, for example along the eastern
and western property lines.
4. In order to a receive a storm drain permit, Storm Drain calculations should be submitted
for pre and post conditions on site. The storm drain calculations and leaching basin design
will have to be stamped by a Massachusetts Professional Engineer. The proposed leaching
basins will have to be designed to handle the increased impervious area on site and a detail
should be provided for the proposed leaching basins. The existing soils on site should be
tested for a permeability rate which should be used in the design of the leaching basins.
Pr
The rim elevationssOr the proposed leaching basins are 992.60'. They should be
redesigned to be at an effective grade. The designer should design a system that will
intercept all additional runoff created from the impervious area. An additional leaching
basin should be constructed to mitigate potential flooding in front of the existing building
and on the neighboring property to the east.
S. A legend should be added to the plan showing the difference between existing and
proposed features on site, for example line work along the eastern property line. The
existing and proposed pavement should be labeled as well.
6. The distance from the proposed retaining wall and the sidewalk along the frontage is
approximately seven feet. There should be some consideration for the safety of pedestrians
and/or bicyclists who may stray off the sidewalk. Landscaping or a split rail fence should
be proposed along this area, but not create a sight distance problem for vehicles exiting the
driveway.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact our division.
