Although this Department is not opposed to this development we do feel strongly that such an undertaking would add sufficient motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic to the area and public safety improvements should be included in the developers plans to accomodate this anticipated increase in traffic flow. Specifically the police department has concerns based on; 1. Salem Street which is a extremely busy road with commuter traffic. 2. Abbott Street at Salem Street acts as a gateway to the Sargent School increasing traffic flow to that area. 3 Safety improvements that include granite curbing and sidewalks should be constructed in the area of the proposed mall due to pedestrian traffic, especially, school children. a. Granite curbing allows vehicles to be deflected away from walkers b. Granite curbing holds up to snow plows and other abuses 4. A blinking yellow light should be installed at Salem and Abbott Streets to help slow traffic and alert motorists to the presence of the mall, pedestrians and exiting vehicles. A traffic study should be completed to assess to impact of the mall on this area. I would like an opportunity to be heard on these issues at the next meeting in which this proposal is discussed.

October 2, 1996 Mr. William Sullivan, Chairman Board of Appeals North Andover, MA 01845 RE: J&M Realty Trust 701 Salem Street Dear Mr. Sullivan: The applicant and his architech have appeared before the North Andover Planning Board numerous times in the past few months for approval of plans for a small shopping center at the above-cited address. They've been highly responsive to the board's concerns and requirements. They've made many changes to their original plans, mostly at our request, and now have a project which the board thinks would be an asset to the conmunity. Therefore, the planning board wishes to endorse the applicant's request for a variance. Any violation of zoning setbacks would be minor, at best. Also, given the location and the shape of the lot, a variance would certainly be in accord with the statutory requirements.

The management of storm water is an important part of the overall site plan. The Planning Board must be assured that the storm water will be controlled such that there is no increase in the rate or amount of runoff from the site onto adjacent properties and streets. This is not something that can be dealt with as a condition in the site plan review decision. The review of storm water drainage has been an issue from the start of this application process. Our consultant reviewed the original p?gin- n June however he has not yet received a response. I have continually reminded you via phone, letter and personal conversation that the drainage review was very important to the overall process and that information to our consultant must be submitted as soon as possible. Our consultant needs approximately two weeks in order to review and comment on drainage calculations and designs. At this point it is doubtful that he could respond in a timely fashion for the November 19`h meeting. The Town Staff must also review the final plans for issues of traffic, landscaping, lighting, utility connections, etc. prior to the close of the public hearing by the Planning Board. If the plans are submitted by the end of this week, I will request review by the Town Staff in time for the November 19"'meeting. If I do not receive the plans by the end of the week, I suggest that you request a continuance of the public hearing to the December 3 meeting. I have attached BOARD OF APPEALS 688-9541 BUILDING 688-9545 CONSERVATION 688-9530 HEALTH 688-9540 PLANNING 688-9535 a copy of the items required for site plan review and have circled the items thwi.need to be submitted and reviewed.

Dear Ms. Colwell: The following final items of concern are addressed relative to the Conditions of Approval issued for this site. 1. DRAINAGE Refer to a letter from Mr. Hmuricak regarding the existing drainage system on Salem Street being of adequate capacity to handle the outflow from the detention basin, which will mitigate any increase in runoff due to the site development. 2. SITE WORK Refer to the site plan for the proposed sidewalk, which has been expanded or extended to the property line of the abutter(Campolini) on Abbott Street, and will now be built constructed along the entire frontage of the site, exclusive of the two driveway openings. A note on the plan regarding "the existing trees within 10' of the property line to remain" has been removed, as these trees have been recently removed. They will be replaced with a fence and a uniformly spaced row of pine trees along the property line common to the abutters, as indicated on the plans. The plan has been revised to indicate a"Not an Exit" sign (access only) at the driveway entrance on Abbott Street. There will be painted arrows at the entrance and at the travel lanes and passing lanes at the drive-up teller, as indicated on the plans. The landscaping plan has been revised previously to address the concern about visibility in vicinity of the passing lane, which should adequately address this concern. Ms. Kathleen Colwell January 17, 1997 Page 2 The following is our response regarding a white picket fence along the property frontage. Given that there were variances granted which greatly minimize the setback between the property line and pavement, a fence may not be best recommended or advised to be installed along the property line, citing visual restrictions and potential damage by vehicles as likely detractions. As such, this item may best be waived from the Conditions of Approval, or modified in some manner to allow some other aesthetic treatment, in addition to the proposed vegetative landscaping, to enhance the "curb appeal" of the site. Upon your review of the enclosed set of prints, please contact me should you have any questions or comments. Very truly yours, MERRIMACK ENGINEERING SERVICES Robert C. Daley, P.E.

STANLEY CHIEF MEMORANDUM TO: Kathleen Bradley-Colwell,Planning Director FROM: Chief Stanley P DATE: January 27, 1997 SUBJECT: 701 Salem Street-strip mall Attached you will find two memos dated 7-23-96 and 9-6-96 concerning the proposed strip mall at 701 Salem Street. This Department still has grave concerns over this project because it is designed to be a high volume business which is located within residential areas and the Sargent School. It appears that many of the recommendations offered were not used. It was also made extremely clear that this Department had strong feelings concerning these public safety issues and requested an opportunity to discuss these concerns at open meeting. On September 3, 1996 Officer Driscoll presented the Department's concerns. Somewhere between September 3” and December 17, 1996 a decision was made by the Planning Board that the lights were excessive. Once again, I would like to point to the September 6, 1996 memo from the Department which demonstrates the strong concern the Department has with the safety of motor vehicle traffic and children in the area. For instance,the lights were an important issue. Trucks and other vehicles in "no parking" areas that block the view cannot be ticketed consistently as it would require continual monitoring. A yellow light would have slowed vehicles and would be consistent with the lights that were installed on Johnson Street at the school. The lights could also have been on timers to expedite the movement of traffic when the mall was closed. Surely, for the amount of time that the Planning Board discussed this project, more opportunity could have been provided for police input. I hope that in the future, this Department, is afforded a more active role when we have rigorously expressed such serious concern over a project prior to the Planning Board finalizing a project. Please feel free to call my office to discuss this matter further.

Sidewalks should be installed on both Salem Street and Abbott Street . It is important to do this now before the land in made unavailable because of parking allocations . The installation of the blinking yellow light is a critical visual to the effective control of traffic in an area that will have significant increases of vehicle and pedestrian traffic . As per our discussion, a deceleration lane on Salem Street leading into the Mall is appropriate and a definite traffic safety addition. The intersection of Salem Street and Abbott Street should be squared off to clearly delineate and structure traffic patterns replacing the informal, haphazard pattern that now exists . Due to traffic safety issues I must vehemently oppose a drive-up coffee window. This proposal will back traffic onto Abbott Street causing impediments to vehicular traffic which will be forced to enter the oncoming lane and to school pedestrian traffic which will make walking school children not only difficult to see but will force them to move between vehicles waiting to patronize the coffee window. I will certainly make myself available to address these issues in person.

SCOTT SSACHU50- Director Memorandum To: Chief Stanley, Police Department From: Kathleen Bradley Colwell, Town Planner 0L Date: January 28, 1997 Re: 701 Salem Street - Site Plan Review Thank you for your memo of January 27, 1997 outlining your concerns regarding the Planning Board's review of the 701 Salem Street project. I would like to point out that the application for this project was submitted on May 1, 1996 and the plans were submitted to your Department on that date. The TRC for the project was held on May 23, 1997. However the Planning Department did not receive comments from your Department until July 23, 1996 after the Planning Board had held five public hearings. I then met with Officer Driscoll at the end of August and discussed the need for sidewalks on Salem and Abbott Streets, restricting the access on Abbott Street to entrance only with appropriate signage, and a flashing yellow light at the entrance to the site on Salem Street. The Planning Board required all of the items except for the flashing yellow light which the Board felt was excessive for a retail complex of this size. I did not receive your memo of September 6, 1996 addressed to William Scott, Director of Community Development and Services. The issue of the drive-up window has been addressed by both the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Planning Board. Any change of use from a bank drive-up window will have to come before both boards for review. Due to the lack of queuing space, I doubt the Planning Board would approve such a change. The Planning Board and Department are interested in your comments on all plans. The Technical Review Committee was set up to facilitate such communication. The last time we had representation from the Police Department was in June. Although it is helpful to have a representative from the E911 program, he cannot address all of the public safety issues under the purview of the Police Department. It would be helpful to the overall review process if you would send a representative to those meetings to discuss your Department's concerns. BOARD OF APPEALS 688-9541 BUILDING 688-9545 CONSERVATION 688-9530 HEALTH 688-9540 PLANNING 688-9535 The Planning Board has several large projects under review at this time that may have significant impacts on traffic safety on both Rt. 125 and Rt. 114.

Mahoney Ch. Planning Board 146 Main Street North Andover, MA 01845 Re: Site Plan, 701 Salem St. Dear Mr. Mahoney: The Division of Public Works has reviewed the issue of the Salem Street drainage system capacity and the systems ability to convey the post development storm water run off from the 701 Salem Street site. The existing drainage system discharges into Mosquito Brook at a headwall on the north side of Salem Street adjacent to the culverts which convey the brook under the road. The invert elevation of the 18 inch pipe at the discharge point is 140.21. The pipe extends up Salem Street approximately 440 feet to the manhole at the intersection of Abbott Street into which the drainage system from the 701 Salem Street site is connected at an approximate elevation of 146.50. There is no historical record of flooding problems along this section of Salem Street. There we no observed problems with the drainage system during the October 20, 1996 rain event at a time when the flow in Mosquito Brook was almost over topping Salem Street. We feel that the drainage system in Salem Street has sufficient capacity to convey the proposed flows from the site and we will permit the connection.

I have an as-built plan from Merrimack Engineering that has questionable accuracy however it may be accurate enough for our purposes. Mathew would like to put a wooden guard rail around the site instead of a picket fence. There is not sufficient room on the site between the parking lot and the sidewalk to fit a picket fence safely. I will be bringing this issue before the Board on Nov. 17 however Mathew would like to put a guard rail around the detention pond now before the winter season sets in. In my opinion a guard rail is necessary to prevent cars from slipping into the pond both from the roadway and the parking lot. A picket fence would not work in this location as it would block the view for cars from Abbott Street to Salem Street and would not provide sufficient support to a car sliding off the road. I would like your opinion on this and would like to tell Mathew to go ahead and put up the guard rail in this location only. See the attached map. Please give me a call at 688-9535. Thanks!!!!

We have determined that it would be appropriate for you to install the guardrail in this location as the current situation presents a safety hazard for cars traveling on Abbott Street and Salem Street and for cars parked in the parking lot. The guard rail must be installed as shown on the attached plan and described as follows: The fence must begin an appropriate distance from the existing hydrant on Salem Street and extend for one length. An appropriate species of evergreen must then be planted and another length of guardrail etc. extending to the point where the parking lot touches the edge of the property line on Abbott Street. A guardrail without shrubs must then be installed along the edge of the seven parking spaces. This work should begin as soon as possible so that it can be completed prior to the winter months.

I found with actual measurements made in the field, that the horizontal distance from the building to the top of the curb is seventeen (17) feet. This measurement was taken from the closet point of the building to the curbing. This distance requirement is shown on "Site Plan of Land"...at 701 Salem Street. Dated December 16, 1998. The distance requirement is shown from curb to curb. However, the inside curb was not built and the distance I measured is building to top of curb. Please see attached copies for details.

We are presently out of the country on vacation but would like to voice our opinion regarding the J&M Country Stores Plaza, Located on Salem Street in North Andover. It is of our personal opinion that the idea of installing a fence and/or Guard Rails directly in front Of J&M Country Stores would pose more of a hinderance to pedestrians as well as drivers. If a fence was installed in front of JA M's Plaza and was connected to the fence runnning alongside the property this would box the store in and therefore would make it only accessible to pedestrians by using the paths designated for cars entering and exiting the plaza, which could prove to be dangerous. Presently pedestrians can gain access into the plaza easily. A Guard Rail and/or a fence would prohibit this from happening. We would not feel comfortable having our children walk to a store; where they can only gain access by using a designated entry way for cars. We also believe that a fence and/or guard rails installed on Salem Street would block the view of drivers who are exiting the plaza, We like the idea of looking down Salem Street and seeing no boundaries this would make the store stick out more instead of blending in which is we feel is important. J & M has been more than considerate in his plans for his plaza with the neighborhood since day one i.e.,keeping the neighborhood informed of his plans for the development, even down to the color scheme. We appreciate their consideration in keeping the neigborhood eye pleasing but having a successful business located within it. They have accomplished this remarkably and we believe that if this was truly a necessity for safety reasons it would be done, no question in our minds In actuality it would also make the sidewalk more narrow which is unnecessary, we believe. We like the idea that the store blends in well with the surrounding houses. Being the parents of two small children who do frequent this plaza, we would never make this stance if we thought for safety reasons that a fence would be of any help. In fact we believe that a fence and/or Guard Rails would add safety concerns regarding the pedestrians gaining access to the plaza and also possible obstruction of view for drivers. Actually we have to say that we opposed to aGuard.Rail and/or a fence being installed oil Salem Street in front of J&M Country Stores- this Guard Rail and/or fence we feel would hinder safety and would also not fit in asthetically with the natural road of Salem Street.

The Board addressed the following items: 1. You must submit to the Board a proposal for the section of your property between the parking lot and the sidewalk along Salem Street. The Board suggests a fence or landscaping which will soften the overall appearance of the building. 2. The driveway at the entrance to Salem Street must be flared out slightly to create a better turning radius for the cars entering and exiting the site. 3. Landscaping must be added to the parking area at the entrance to Salem Street. 4. The stop sign at the entrance to the site on Abbott Street must be removed, as this is an entrance only. 5. The dumpster must be enclosed and must not remove any parking spaces. 6. A guardrail and shrubs will be installed around the detention pond as previously discussed in my letter of November 2, 1998. 7. The Abbott Street side of the property does not need any additional work.

Relative to Item I we propose to construct precast concrete curbs inside the parking area to prevent j cars from Prot- -ding over the side walk. The neighbors would not like a fence and landscaping would take away excessive square footage. on item 2 we have flared out the entrance fi-oil"Sale,111 Street and we feel the turning radius is adequate. if it were to be move severe It could pose a danger to people working along the sidewalk, We have under Item 3 provide entrance yon, Salem 4 areas for landscaping at the e tr ce f Street and the shrubs have been planted and guardrails have been installed. Tile stop sign at Abbott Street referred to in Item 4 of your letter presents us with a real quandary. The Zoning Board wants the stop sign to remain and I respectf-allY suggest that this issue is one to be resolved administratively between the two Boards. My client will be glad to abide by such a resolution. The dumpster has been enclosed in accordance with Item 5 of your letter. And under Item 6 the guardrail has been installed and shrubs planted around the V W j IS VaSSa OOE Sj,)jjjn detention pond.
