The North Andover School Committee is proposing to erect a modular building containing two classrooms and one office, with two handicapped accessible restrooms to be attached to the existing building. The addition will be situated in the rear of the existing school, in an area that is currently paved. The modular building will consist of 2800 square feet,with an improved storm drainage system. DATE: 1"Review—October 19,2009 The following is a review of the plans with recommendations: The following information was included as part of the application: Plans: Sheets SP,L1 and L2 including a Site Plan, Site Improvement Plan, and Site Details, dated October 1, 2009 Sheets A-101 -A-103: Elevations and Floor Plan, dated October 2, 2009 Submitted by: Marshall Gary LLC 20 Cabot Road Woburn, MA 02801 Applicant: North Andover School Department Additional: Narrative Zoning Analysis Drainage Analysis Traffic& Circulation: The narrative states that traffic patterns will not change, as the proposed addition will be situated in the rear of the current building. Since enrollment will not change,there will be no increase in traffic. Existing entrances and exits off Main St. will be maintained,as will the bus drop off in the front of the building. Landscaping& Screening: Since the proposed addition will be in the rear of the building, no landscaping is proposed. There will also be no new lighting, except as required to illuminate the entrance and the exit from the proposed building. Stormwater Runoff: The applicant has stated that no additional runoff will be generated by the addition. Currently,runoff on the paved area and from the existing buildings flows on the surface to a catch basin on Main St. The project proposes that the roof runoff for the addition will be collected in a subsurface drainage system with 1600 Osgood Street,North Andover,Massachusetts 01845 Phone 978.688.9535 Fax 978.688.9542 Web www.townofnorthandover.com two new catch basins, drain manholes and piping to connect the system to the existing catch basin on Main St. Runuff from the existing modular building as well as the existing play area will also be piped to the new drainage system. Since the amount of impervious surface will be reduced(some of the pavement will be removed and some grass area added),there should not be any additional stormwater generated. In addition to the above, Gene Willis has requested the following: The last reach of the 12"HDPE storm drain will be rotated approx. 30 degrees to the east to tie into an existing catch basin (not shown) at the intersection of that east most driveway and Main St. That existing structure is brick and is to be replaced with a new precast structure. Other: • There are no wetlands on the property. • No new signs will be required. • No refuse areas, outdoor storage or display areas are proposed. Recommendations: The applicant participated in a TRC on September 23,2009. At that meeting,Andy Melnikas of the Fire Department recommended that the School Department take this opportunity to install sprinklers for the entire school building. He urged the installation of sprinklers for safety reasons and because of the age of the existing building. Other than the change requested by G. Willis(noted above),there were no concerns expressed by either the Police Department or by DPW. 1600 Osgood Street,North Andover,Massachusetts 01845 Phone 978.688.9535 Fax 978.688.9542 Web www.townofnorthandover.com LEO.,Ii.10., M-a ry From: John Simons Bohnisimons@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 4:39 PM To: Tymon, Judy Cc: Ippolito, Mary Subject: RE: Modular Units at Kittredge School "That is fine.

From:Tymon, Judy[mailto:jtymon@townofnorthandover.com] Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 12:10 PM To: John Simons Cc: Ippolito, Mary Subject: Modular Units at Kittredge School John, We had a TRC this week with representatives from the School Dept. regarding modular units that they would like to construct as an addition to the Kittredge School. I told them that the Planning Board would follow the same process that was followed for the Pre-K school. We did notice abutters and did not put a legal notice in the paper. The Board did vote and issue a decision. The meeting was called a "Public Meeting" as opposed to a Public Hearing. Unless you think we should do otherwise, I will simply follow the Pre-K example for this application.
