RE: Site Plan Review Waiver

LaBoom Tanning Salon
Dear Mr. Smith:
At the regularly scheduled North Andover Planning Board meeting held on August 3, 2004,the Board
voted to waive Site Plan Review for the proposed tanning salon business. The business will consist of
three employees and is an allowed use in the zoning district. Only internal alterations will be made to
accommodate the business. The proposed use will not require additional parking from the previous use.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

RE: Building Permit Application for renovations to Unit#2 at Jasmine Plaza 733 Turnpike St.
Dear Bob,
Attached are architectural tenant fit-up plans for the proposed tenant fit-up of an existing retail
space at Jasmine Plaza. The previous tenant of the space was Master Shin's Martial Arts. The
proposed construction will subdivide the existing space into two tenant spaces. One tenant is
proposed to be a carpet showroom,the other space is proposed to be a Tanning Salon.
Our review of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw indicates that the proposed uses of the space as a
tanning salon and as a carpet showroom does not require a site plan review. Furthermore,the
proposed subdivision of space and renovation of the space does not require a review of the entire
Jasmine Plaza Site plan and parking analysis as you suggested in our meeting earlier this week..
The proposed work does not fall under the types of projects or developments that require site
plan review as outlined in 8.3.2.
i) The proposed construction is not a new building or construction that contains two
thousand square feet or results in more than 5 or more additional parking spaces.
The proposed construction is in an existing tenant space that was previously
permitted.
ii.) The proposed construction is not an addition of more than two thousand square
feet to an existing structure, or results in the requirement of 5 or more new
additional parking spaces.
iii.) The proposed construction/tenants in the existing construction is not a change in
the use or processes that are typical of a retail shopping center for which the
project and tenant space has been previously permitted. There is no exterior
work that will effect the traffic or storm drainage,or require additional parking
requirements based upon the parking standards of Section 8.1, or require any
additional parking spaces.
Mr. Robert Nicetta
July 22, 2004,Page 2
iv.) The proposed construction is not a wireless service facility.
Additionally,
1. The proposed use/renovation is not changing the siteplan.
2. The proposed renovation is not expanding the envelope of the building.
3. The use of the space will not result in an increased nuisance to the neighbors.
4. The proposed use of the space will not increase the parking requirements for the
space as previously permitted. 5spaces per 1000 for each use.
5. There will not be an increase of noise from the proposed uses.
6. The proposed use does not impact storm water drainage onto or off the site.
Jasmine Plaza is located in a GB zone and the tenants include a mixture of restaurant and retail
uses. The existing tenants at Jasmine Plaza have previously permitted uses. The prior tenant
"Master Shin's Martial Arts"was in the Tenant space under consideration here for a building
permit was issued a waiver of site plan review on May 4, 1999 as noted in the attached
memorandum letter to Robert Nicetta from Heidi Griffin,Town Planner. The proposed uses are
all within the requirements of Section 8.1 parking table for Retail stores and Service
establishments that require 5 spaces per 1,000 sf of GFA in a GB zone.
If you have any questions or require additional information,please contact me at
978-688-5422 x 203. I will be on Vacation from July 23`d to August 2'and may not be able to
respond until after I return.
