submitted by Mark Robinson Holland Associates, 70 Woodburn Drive, Methuen, MA 01844 on

Findings of Fact:
1. The only exterior work on the building will be the installation of a new stairway to provide
a second means of egress from the first floor to grade and exiting on the Belmont Street

threshold for additions to structures cited in 8.3(2)(a)(ii).

is". All roof drainage is internal to the building and is connected to the storm water
system.

indicating"100 Belmont Street". The applicant intends to add a matching "applied letter"
sign to wit "North Andover School of Dance and Gymnastics" to the building on the
Belmont Street side, in accordance with the sign ordinance.
