COUNCIL CLERK OFFICE
THE TOWN COUNCIL AGAWAM;MA:
AGAWAM, MASSACHUSETTS F 1004 OCT 21 A"JQ: S.
September2004
The undersigned being the owner of the land described below being part of the
premises known as 1176 Springfield Street, Agawam, Massachusetts and being
described in a deed dated October 30, 2003 and recorded in the Hampden County
Registry of Deeds in Book 13729, Page 176, hereby respectfully petition the Town
Council for the City of Agawam to change the zoning for the land described below from
Residence A-2 Zone to Business A Zone.
The land is described as follows and is shown on the plans entitled "Plan of Land
Springfield Street Agawam MA owned by Donna L. Beaumier, Trustee of Springfield
1176 Realty Trust and Donna L. Beaumier, Trustee of 1162-1172 Springfield Street
Realty Trust, Scale 20 ft/in: Date Mar 2004 Smith Associates Surveyors, Inc...."
attached hereto, being more particularly described as follows:
Beginning at a point which is N. 1" 21' 47" W two hundred three and 62/100 (203.62)
feet from the Southeasterly corner of the land described in Book 13729, Page 176,
which is located on the Northerly side of Springfield Street as shown on said plan;
thence running S 800 43' 29" W sixty (60) feet along the remaining part of the land
described in Book 13729, page 176 to land now or formerly of C. Kinsley as shown on
said plan; thence turning and running N 10 21' 47" W along said last named land a
distance of one hundred fifty-eight and 91/100 (158.91) feet to an iron pin at land of
R.W. & L.M. Uschmann as shown on said plan; thence turning and running N 800 43'
29" E along said last named land a distance of sixty (60) feet to an iron pin at land now
or formerly of R. J. Cecchi, Trustee as shown on said plan; thence turning and running
along said last named land S V 21' 47" E one hundred fifty-eight and 91/100 (158.91)
feet to the point of beginning.
The purpose for the requested zone change is two fold. Currently, the property located
at 1176 Springfield Street is zoned one-half business and one-half Residence A2 which
prevents the land being described above from being used as parking or for any use
related to a business use for 1176 Springfield Street. In addition, the petitioner owns
The Carriage House Apartments which abut the property located at 1176 Springfield
Street to the East. Currently, much of the parking for The Carriage House Apartments
is on land leased from R.J. Cecchi, Trustee. However, this lease can be terminated at
any time by R.J. Cecchi, Trustee which would leave the apartments with insufficient
parking. The petitioners acquired 1176 Springfield Street with the hope of providing a
permanent joint parking and access easement on 1176 Springfield Street for the benefit
of The Carriage House Apartments which would add additional parking to The Carriage
House.apartments and eliminate the risk of inadequate parking if R.J. Cecchi, Trustee
ever terminated the parking lease the petitioners now have. However��.since -the4 d
described in this petition is currently zoned Residence A2 rt#on.of the pro tpe
339757.doc
cannot be used for parking or any business use for the benefit of the apartments or any
business located at 1176 Springfield Street.
By changing the zoning. of the property from Residence A2 to Business A parking for
The Carriage House Apartments would be allowed on the rear of 1176 Springfield
Street which would provide sufficient permanent parking in excess of that currently in
existence for the apartments, and also allow for parking or any business which might
ultimately be located at 1176 Springfield Street.
Since the rear of the property is currently zoned Residence A2 and there is no separate
access to said land, it is highly unlikely that the rear portion of the property at 1176
Springfield Street would ever be developed for single family residential purposes and
thus result in the land being under utilized and being left vacant reducing potential tax
revenues to the City of Agawam.
By granting the zone change, it will allow petitioners to seek to use the land for parking
for The Carriage House Apartments, thus eliminating a potential problem if R.J. Cecchi,
Trustee should ever terminate his parking lease and making more parking spaces
available for the apartments than currently exist eliminating the need for parking on
streets or other locations should the parking lease be terminated.

Dear Councilors:
At its duly called meeting held on December 2, 2004, the Agawam Planning Board voted to send
a negative recommendation to the Agawam Town Council with regard to the proposed zone
change at 1176 Springfield Street from Residence A-2 to Business A. The Board feels that if
granted, this zone change would have a negative impact on the residential abutters. Attached is a
copy of the Town Planner's report on this proposal.
Sincerely,

MEMO
TO: AGAWAM PLANNING BOARD
FROM: DEBORAH S. DACHOS, DIRECTOR,
OFFICE OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
SUBJECT: Beaumier/1176 Springfield Street-Zone Change - Residence A-2 to Business A
DATE: November 16, 2004
. On October 27, 2004, the Town received a request for a zone change for a parcel of land located at
1176 Springfield Street from Residence A-2 to Business A. The property is presently owned by
Donna L. Beaumier (Trustee or Springfield 1175 Realty Trust) and is approximately 9,636 sq.ft..
The property is rear land of 1176 Springfield Street which has 60' of frontage on Springfield Street.
The Planning Office has conducted a review of this proposal and submits this report for your
information.
The petitioner acquired 1176 Springfield Street for the purpose of providing a permanent joint
parking and access easement on 1176 Springfield Street for the benefit of the The Carriage House
Apartments. The Carriage House Apartments which abut the property for which a zone change is
being sought currently leases land from R J..Cecchi,Trustee for much of its parking. The petitioner
is concerned that the lease can be terminated at any time by R. J. Cecchi, Trustee and would leave
the apartments with insufficient parking.
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 zoned Residence A-2.
The portion of the lot on which the house is located is zoned Business A. A copy of the zoning map
for this area has been attached.
The Assessor's Map shows that there are two abutters to the property other than The Carriage House
Apartments. To the west, 1182 Springfield Street, is owned by Carol Kinsley. Mrs. Kinsley also
owns a 15,000 sq. ft. vacant building lot fronting on Northwood Street. The property for which,the
petitioner is requesting a zone change directly abuts the vacant portion of the KinsIey property. To
the north is a single family residence owned by Robert W. and Linda M. Uschmann, They have
resided in this home for over 30 years.
If the zoning is changed from Residence A-2 to Business A, the following uses would be allowed:
(please refer to § 180-44 of the Zoning Ordinance which is attached):
♦ Any use permitted in a Residence or an Agricultural District.
♦ The major use of a building or structure in this district shall be to store and display goods for
sale at retail on the premises or to furnish a service intended for residents of the immediate
vicinity. Banks,hotels,dining establishments,halls and office buildings shall be considered
as complying with such requirements.
♦ No building, structure or land shall be used in whole or in part for any fabricating,
manufacturing, converting, altering, finishing or assembling.
♦ One-story public garages for storage or repair of not more than 50 cars. The storage of a
maximum of 150 motor vehicles out of doors is allowed to holders of first- and second-class
motor vehicle dealer licenses. Body and fender work and the painting of cars in or 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. An underground tank of not more
than 1,000 gallons' capacity for drain oil is permitted.
♦ A gasoline filling station, which shall include self-service gasoline filling or service stations,
provided that not more than 30,000 gallons of gasoline shall be stored on the premises. An
enclosed lubritorium for not more than three motor vehicles shall be permitted. Only minor
repairing of motor vehicles is permitted.
(1). - For the public purpose to promote and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the
Town of Agawam,to prevent and control fires, and to control traffic, it is deemed to
be in the best interests of the Town of Agawam to regulate the number of gasoline
filling stations within the Town of Agawam.
(2) For the purpose of licensing gasoline service stations under the provisions of
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 148 § 13, there shall be no more than 20 issued
at any one time, and no license shall be issued for a gasoline filling station located
within 200 feet of a residence, school or church.
♦ Open-air transient parking, after a public hearing by the Board of Appeals.
• ♦ Cabins, if licensed under MGL C. 140, § 32A to 32E, inclusive.
1
Under the present Residence A-2 District the following uses are allowed: {Please refer to § 180-23
of the Zoning Ordinance which is attached. This list is abbreviated.)
♦ Any use permitted in a Residence A-i District .
♦ A one-family detached dwelling for one (1) housekeeping unit only. Second housekeeping
unit by approval of the Board of Appeals.
the office or studio of a dentist, artist, architect,professional engineer or teacher of scholastic
subjects or a beauty parlor wherein one (1) of the residents is the sole operator.
♦ The renting of rooms and the furnishing of a table board to not more than four (4) persons
in a dwelling occupied as a private residence.
♦ Schools for academic purposes only and community center buildings, except dancing or
bowling and like activities.
♦ Colleges, public libraries or museums, churches or other places of worship, parish houses
and Sunday school buildings.
♦ Private kindergartens and day nurseries
♦ Bus passenger stations or shelters
♦ Telephone exchange buildings
Environmental Considerations
The parcel is flat and in lawn. The only trees appear to be located on the parcel containing the
apartments. There do not appear to be any environmental considerations.
Other Considerations
The purpose of the zoning map changes is to ensure the provision of adequate parking in the future
for the apartments. The owner of the apartments owns both of the parcels. Changing the parcel to
Business A would only affect one abutter, the owner of 32 Northwood Street. This property could
be protected by the provision of a fence and/or landscape screen along the property lines.

Dear Planning Board Members:
Please be advised that I support the above-mentioned zone change. It
appears to me that there is a shortage of parking at the Carriage House
Apartments. I have on numerous occasions observed cars crowded into the
space provided by the complex. I believe that with increased parking the
complex and surrounding areas will be better served.

To Whom it May Concern:
The Carriage House Apartments in Feeding Hills has very limited
parking. I have seen cars park in the rear, front and side of the

to allow them additional parking and it would not hurt other
people in the area.

MEMORANDUM
To: Planning Board
CC: J.P. Stone, File
From: Engineering
Date: October 29, 2004
Subject: Proposed Zoning Amendment - 1176 Springfield St. Res. A2 to Bus. A
Per your request dated October 27, 2004, I have reviewed the above referenced zoning
amendment and have the following comments. The existing conditions were observed at 1176
and 1172 Springfield St. The apartment complex parcel is a continuous impervious surface
with no drainage collection system. Runoff leaves the site via sheet flow onto adjacent
parcels. The proposed parking area will increase the uninterrupted paved/roof area by
approximately 21 %. The combined area of the two parcels is 1.18 acres. Depending on the
nature of future site plan submittals to the Planning Board, a storm drainage permit will be
required, and compliance with sections 175-22 & 175-35 of the Town Code.
There are no objections to the proposed zone change, with the stipulation that the above
referenced sections of the Town Code may come into effect with future submittals for
improvements at this site.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our division.

MEMO
TO: AGAWAM PLANNING BOARD
FROM: DEBORAH S. DACHOS, DIRECTOR-
OFFICE OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT -
SUBJECT: Beaumier/1176 Springfield Street- Zone Change - Residence A-2 to Business A
DATE: November 16, 2004
On October 27, 2004, the Town received a request for a zone change for a parcel of land located at
1176 Springfield Street from Residence A-2 to Business A. The property is presently owned by
Donna L. Beaumier(Trustee or Springfield 1175 Realty Trust) and is approximately 9,636 sq.ft..
The property is rear land of 1176 Springfield Street which has 60' of frontage on Springfield Street.
The Planning Office has conducted a review of this proposal and submits this report for your
information.
The petitioner acquired 1176 Springfield Street for the purpose of providing a permanent joint
parking and access easement on 1176 Springfield Street for the benefit of the The Carriage House
Apartments. The Carriage House Apartments which abut the property for which a zone change is
being sought currently leases land from R J.. Cecchi,Trustee for much of its parking. The petitioner
is concerned that the lease can be tenninated at any time by R. J. Cecchi, Trustee and would leave
the apartments with insufficient parking.
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.
� s
Land Use and Zoni g
As stated above, the property for which the zone change is being requested is zoned Residence A-2.
The portion of the lot on which the house is located is zoned Business A. A copy of the zoning map
for this area has been attached.
The Assessor's Map shows that there are two abutters to the property other than The Carriage House
Apartments. To the west, H 82 Springfield Street, is owned by Carol Kinsley. Mrs. Kinsley also
owns a 15,000 sq. ft. vacant building lot fronting on Northwood Street. The property for which the
petitioner is requesting a zone change directly abuts the vacant portion of the Kinsley property. To
the north is a single family residence owned by Robert W. and Linda M. Uschmann. They have
resided in this home for over 30 years.
If the zoning is changed from Residence A-2 to Business A, the following uses would be allowed:
(please refer to § 180-44 of the Zoning Ordinance which is attached):
♦ Any use pennitted in a Residence or an Agricultural District.
♦ The major use of a building or structure in this district shall be to store and display goods for
sale at retail on the premises or to furnish a service intended for residents of the immediate
vicinity. Banks, hotels, dining establishments, halls and office buildings shall be considered
as complying with such requirements.
♦ No building, structure or land shall be used in whole or in part for any fabricating,
manufacturing, converting, altering, finishing or assembling.
♦ One-story public garages for storage or repair of not more than 50 cars. The storage of a
maximum of 150 motor vehicles out of doors is allowed to holders of first- and second-class
motor vehicle dealer licenses. Body and fender work and the painting of cars in or 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. An underground tank of not more
than 1,000 gallons' capacity for drain oil is permitted.
♦ A gasoline filling station, which shall include self-service gasoline filling or service stations,
provided that not more than 30,000 gallons of gasoline shall be stored on the premises. An
enclosed lubritorium for not more than three motor vehicles shall be permitted. Only minor
repairing of motor vehicles is permitted.
(1). For the public purpose to promote and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the
Town of Agawam, to prevent and control fires, and to control traffic, it is deemed to
be in the best interests of the Town of Agawam to regulate the number of gasoline
filling stations within the Town of Agawam.
(2) For the purpose of licensing gasoline service stations under the provisions of
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 148 § 13, there shall be no more than 20 issued
at any one time, and no license shall be issued for a gasoline filling station located
within 200 feet of a residence, school or church.
♦ Open-air transient parking, after a public hearing by the Board of Appeals.
♦ Cabins, if licensed under MGL C. 140, § 32A to 32E, inclusive.
• i
Under the present Residence A-2 District the following uses are allowed: ( Please refer to § 180-23
of the Zoning Ordinance which is attached. This list is abbreviated.)

the office or studio of a dentist, artist, architect, professional engineer or teacher of scholastic
subjects or a beauty parlor wherein one (1) of the residents is the sole operator.
♦ The renting of rooms and the furnishing of a table board to not more than four (4) persons
in a dwelling occupied as a private residence.
♦ Schools for academic purposes only and community center buildings, except dancing or
bowling and like activities.
♦ CoIleges, public libraries or museums, churches or other places of worship, parish houses
and Sunday school buildings.
♦ Private kindergartens and day nurseries
♦ Bus passenger stations or shelters
♦ Telephone exchange buildings
EnvirQnmental_Considerations
The parcel is flat and in lawn. The only trees appear to be located on the parcel containing the
apartments. There do not appear to be any environmental considerations.
Other Considerations
The purpose of the zoning map changes is to ensure the provision of adequate parking in the future
for the apartments. The owner of the apartments owns both of the parcels. Changing the parcel to
Business A would only affect one abutter, the owner of 32 Northwood Street. This property could
be protected by the provision of a fence and/or landscape screen along the property lines.

Proposed Zone Change Submission by Applicant
ZC - ,� C)04 - q .�
COUNCIL,CLERK OFFICE
THE TOWN COUNCIL AGAWAH::MA: t"
AGAWAM, MASSACHUSETTS + 100tl OCT 21 A ID 5A
September 2004
The undersigned being the owner of the land described below being part of the
premises known as 1176 Springfield Street, Agawam, Massachusetts and being
described in a deed dated October 30, 2003 and recorded in the Hampden County
Registry of Deeds in Book 13729, Page 176, hereby respectfully petition the Town
Council for the City of Agawam to change the zoning for the land described below from
Residence A-2 Zone to Business A Zone.
The land is described as follows and is shown on the plans entitled "Plan of Land
Springfield Street Agawam MA owned by Donna L. Beaumier, Trustee of Springfield
1176 Realty Trust and Donna L. Beaumier, Trustee of 1162-1172 Springfield Street
Realty Trust, Scale 20 ft/in: Date Mar 2004 Smith Associates Surveyors, Inc...."
attached hereto, being more particularly described as follows:
Beginning at a point which is N. 1° 21' 47" W two hundred three and 62/100 (203.62)
feet from the Southeasterly corner of the land described in Book 13729, Page 176,
which is located on the Northerly side of Springfield Street as shown on said plan;
thence running S 80' 43' 29" W sixty (60) feet along the remaining part of the land
described in Book 13729, page 176 to land now or formerly of C. Kinsley as shown on
said plan; thence turning and running N 1° 21' 47" W along said last named land a
distance of one hundred fifty-eight and 91/100 (158.91) feet to an iron pin at land of
R.W. & L.M. Uschmann as shown on said plan; thence turning and running N 800 43'
29" E along said last named land a distance of sixty (60) feet to an iron pin at land now
or formerly of R. J. Cecchi, Trustee as shown on said plan; thence turning and running
along said last named land S 10 21' 47" E one hundred fifty-eight and 91/100 (158.91)
feet to the point of beginning.
The purpose for the requested zone change is two fold. Currently, the property located
at 1176 Springfield Street is zoned one-half business and one-half Residence A2 which
prevents the land being described above from being used as parking or for any use
related to a business use for 1176 Springfield Street. In addition, the petitioner owns
The Carriage House Apartments which abut the property located at 1176 Springfield
Street to the East. Currently, much of the parking for The Carriage House Apartments
is on land leased from R.J. Cecchi, Trustee. However, this lease can be terminated at
any time by R.J. Cecchi, Trustee which would leave the apartments with insufficient
parking. The petitioners acquired 1176 Springfield Street with the hope of providing a
permanent joint parking and access easement on 1176 Springfield Street for the benefit
of The Carriage House Apartments which would add additional parking to The Carriage
House apartments and eliminate the risk of inadequate parking if R.J. Cecchi, Trustee
ever terminated the parking lease the petitioners now_have-,/--low.ever .;gince t e land
described in this petition is currently zoned Residenc �#-2:168it;.portioh_`of then �operty
339757.doc
4CT 2 7 2004
cannot be used for parking or any business use for the benefit of the apartments or any
business located at 1176 Springfield Street.
By changing the zoning of the property from Residence A2 to Business A parking for
.The Carriage House Apartments would be allowed on the rear of 1176 Springfield
Street which would provide sufficient permanent parking in excess of that currently in
existence for the apartments, and also allow for parking or any business which might
ultimately be located at 1176 Springfield Street.
Since the rear of the property is currently zoned Residence A2 and there is no separate
access to said land, it is highly unlikely that the rear portion of the property at 1176
Springfield Street would ever be developed for single family residential purposes and
thus result in the land being under utilized and being left vacant reducing potential tax
revenues to the City of Agawam.
By granting the zone change, it will allow petitioners to seek to use the land for parking
for The Carriage House Apartments, thus eliminating a potential problem if R.J. Cecchi,
Trustee should ever terminate his parking lease and making more parking spaces
available for the apartments than currently exist eliminating the need for parking on
streets or other locations should the parking lease be terminated.
Signed this day of September, 2004.

'COUNCIL CLERK OFFICE
THE TOWN COUNCIL AGAWAM: MA':
AGAWAM, MASSACHUSETTS , 1004 OV 21 A 0,51, i
September�2004
The undersigned being the owner of the land described below being part of the
premises known as 1176 Springfield Street, Agawam, Massachusetts and being
described in a deed dated October 30, 2003 and recorded in the Hampden County
Registry of Deeds in Book 13729, Page 176, hereby respectfully petition the Town
Council for the City of Agawam to change the zoning for the land described below from
Residence A-2 Zone to Business A Zone.
The land .is described as follows and is shown on the plans entitled "Plan of Land
Springfield Street Agawam MA owned by Donna L. Beaumier, Trustee of Springfield
1176 Realty Trust and Donna L. Beaumier, Trustee of 1162-1172 Springfield Street
Realty Trust, Scale 20 ft/in: Date Mar 2004 Smith Associates Surveyors, Inc...."
attached hereto, being more particularly described as follows:
Beginning at a point which is N. 1' 21' 47" W two hundred three and 62/100 (203.62)
feet from the Southeasterly corner of the land described in Book 13729, Page 176,
which is located on the Northerly side of Springfield Street as shown on said plan;
thence running S 80° 43' 29" W sixty (60) feet along the remaining part of the land
described in Book 13729, page 176 to land now or formerly of C. Kinsley as shown on
said plan; thence turning and running N 1" 21' 47" W along said last named land a
distance of one hundred fifty-eight and 91/100 (158.91) feet to an iron pin at land of
R.W. & L.M. Uschmann as shown on said plan; thence turning and running N 80' 43'
29" E along said last named land a distance of sixty (60) feet to an iron pin at land now
or formerly of R. J. Cecchi, Trustee as shown on said plan; thence turning and running
along said last named land S 1" 21' 47" E one hundred fifty-eight and 91/100 (158.91)
feet to the point of beginning.
The purpose for the requested zone change is two fold. Currently, the property located
at 1176 Springfield Street is zoned one-half business and one-half Residence A2 which
prevents the land being described above from being used as parking or for any use
related to a business use for 1176 Springfield Street. In addition, the petitioner owns
The Carriage House Apartments which abut the property located at 1176 Springfield
Street to the East. Currently, much of the parking for The Carriage House Apartments
is on land leased from R.J. Cecchi, Trustee. However, this lease can be terminated at
any time by R.J. Cecchi, Trustee which would leave the apartments with insufficient
parking. The petitioners acquired 1176 Springfield Street with the hope of providing a
permanent joint parking and access easement on 1176 Springfield Street for the benefit
of The Carriage House Apartments which would add additional parking to The Carriage
House apartments and eliminate the risk of inadequate parking if R.J. Cecchi, Trustee
ever terminated the parking lease the petitioners now have. However, since t
described in this petition is currently zoned Residence A2, th arbc�' 6v1fl c,'prope,
339757.doc 4�; 2 7 2004
cannot be used for parking or any business use for the benefit of the apartments or any
business located at 1176 Springfield Street.
By changing the zoning of the property from Residence A2 to Business A parking for
The Carriage House Apartments would be allowed on the rear of 1176 Springfield
Street which would provide sufficient permanent parking in excess 'of that currently in
existence for the apartments, and also allow for parking or any business which might
ultimately be located at 1176 Springfield Street.
Since the rear of the property'is currently zoned Residence A2 and there is no separate
access to said land, it is highly unlikely that the rear portion of the property at 1176
Springfield Street would ever be developed for single family residential purposes and
thus result in the land being under utilized and being left vacant reducing potential tax
revenues to the City of Agawam.
By granting the zone change, it will allow petitioners to seek to use the land for parking
for The Carriage House Apartments, thus eliminating a potential problem if R.J. Cecchi,
Trustee should ever terminate his parking lease and making more parking spaces
available for the apartments than currently exist eliminating the need for parking on
streets or other locations should the parking lease be terminated.
Signed this �_ day of September, 2004.
