RE: Agawam National Guard Property
Dear Ms. Dachos:
Please be advised that the Agawam Soccer Association, Inc. and the Military Division of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts have agreed to a co-use of a small parcel of
Commonwealth of Massachusetts land located behind the National Guard Armory for
parking purposes.
National Guard soldiers have assisted in clearing this parcel as part of their training and to
allow the local unit to have access to off street parking. The Agawam Soccer Association,
Inc. will have access to the parking while the soccer league is in session. There will be a
locked gate to restrict any other use of this parcel.
Should you have any questions concerning this matter, I may be reached at 1-888-301-

Memo
To: Planning Board
From: Sgt. Donald Galler i S
Subject: Site Plan - Agawam Soccer Association - Maynard Street
Date: February 12, 2004
4n February 11, 2004, Bill Coughlin from the Agawam Soccer Association came to HQ to see
me. He had a new and revised site plan for the Soccer fields on Maynard St.
The new site plan has parking spaces that are depicted for reference only. However, Mr.
Coughlin agreed to place three Handicapped Parking Spaces in the middle of the gravel parking
lot and close to an opening in the fence. This action satisfies my concern over Handicapped
Parking spaces.
Mr. Coughlin also stated to me that the gate at the driveway into the parking area off Maynard
Street would remain locked at all times unless the fields were being utilized. This locked gate
will prevent malicious damage to the fields and prohibit people from going into the far back
corner of the property at night.
Therefore, the site plan by the Agawam Soccer Association to spread gravel over the existing
parking area at the fields located by the State Pool on Maynard Street should have no impact on
pedestrian or traffic safety. I have no further concerns at this time.

Memo

From: Sgt. Donald Gallerani
Subject: Site Plan - Agawam Soccer Association - Maynard Street
Date: January 14, 2004
The site plan by the Agawam Soccer Association to spread gravel over the existing parking area
at the fields located by the State Pool on Maynard Street should have no impact on pedestrian or
traffic safety.
However, the site plan depicts that there will be 59 marked parking spaces. If parking spaces are
going to marked out, they will have to be in compliance with the Town Ordinance regarding
Handicapped Parking Spaces.
Also, there is a gate at the driveway into the parking area off Maynard Street. I am unsure if this
gate is to be removed or not with the continuation of the post fence. I would recommend from a
crime prevention standpoint that this gate not be removed and kept locked except for the usage of
these fields.

Subject: Agawam Soccer Association - Review Comments
The site plan for proposed parking area improvements on the,plan titled "Agawam Soccer Fields -
Maynard St., Agawam, MA" dated 12/17/03 has been reviewed. The following comments must
be addressed before approval can be given.
The site plan depicts improvements on parcels owned by three different owners. I request
a letter from a representative of each of the owners acknowledging the proposed
improvements and giving permission for the work to proceed.
The plan must depict existing and proposed elevations throughout the site. The proposed
elevations must be such that stormwater drains properly off the proposed gravel parking
area.
The plan must include a description of the work that is proposed including the depth of
gravel to be placed.
The plan must include a line which shows the edge of asphalt pavement near the existing
curb cut.
Sediment control measures during construction must include 20 to 30 feet of 1" to 2"
diameter stone be placed at the existing curb cut to reduce tracking of soils onto the
adjacent streets during construction of the improvements.
Please add a construction note on the plan which states that measures will be implemented
during construction to ensure that soils from the site are not tracked onto adjacent
roadways.

As of Tuesday Jan. 27, 2004 a revised plan addressing these comments has not been received by
DPW Engineering.
