⚡ 4 BOSTON RD

1. Site Access & Topography

Road Access & Equipment Delivery: The subject property benefits from excellent access, situated directly on Boston Road (US Route 20) in Palmer, MA. As a major US highway, this road is well-maintained and built to a standard capable of handling heavy truck traffic. This is a significant advantage for the delivery of oversized and overweight equipment, including multi-ton battery containers, pad-mount transformers, and switchgear. The "Public" road access designation suggests direct ingress/egress from Boston Road is likely, minimizing the need for complex, private access road construction.

Terrain & Buildability: While a formal topographical survey is required, the general area of Hampden County consists of rolling hills. The provided "Buildability: Good" rating suggests the parcel is likely cleared and possesses manageable slopes, reducing the need for extensive and costly earthwork. We anticipate that standard site grading will be sufficient to create level pads for the BESS equipment. However, the discrepancy in listed acreage (21.67 vs. 12.66 acres) must be resolved, as it directly impacts the usable area.

Access Feasibility & Easements: Heavy equipment access appears highly feasible. A key due diligence item will be to conduct a route survey to confirm turning radii from US-20 onto the site and to verify that no low-clearance bridges or weight-restricted culverts exist on the immediate approach. A title report must be ordered to confirm that no restrictive access easements encumber the property and that our access rights are clear and unencumbered.

2. Environmental Constraints

FEMA Flood Zone: The "Unknown" flood zone status represents a critical information gap and a potential fatal flaw. Development within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA, e.g.,
