On January 16, 2015,the Planning Board unanimously voted to grant the Applicant a Downtown Overlay Special Permit approving the Project. On February 4,2016,the applicant requested approval of the following design modifications: 1) Minor parking,grading, and sidewalk changes were made with modifications to building entry locations and elevations. Changes include the elimination of a curb bumpout along Building 5; enlargement of curb bumpouts on the northwest and southwest end of the center of the site; removal of the proposed sidewalk ramp and stairs near the western entrance to Building 5; and adjustment to the sidewalk layout in front of Building 36 and former Building 37. 2) Bioretention system 4 was relocated approximately 30 feet west to accommodate the minor adjustments to site layout noted above. 3) Bioretention systems 2A, 2B, and 2C were consolidated into one bioretention system. 4) Bioretention systems 6 and 7 were combined into a single bioretention system(renamed system 6)to simplify the design.An emergency overflow is proposed to connect to the existing twin culverts via the existing drainage structure DMH 1.1.0 and existing pipe connection. 5) Bioretention systems 4, 5, and 6 were modified from Type 2 to Type 1 (see details on Sheet C- 10)to replace the linear channel forebays with typical forebays. The adjusted design provides the approved pretreatment volume. 6) The proposed linear channel bioretention pretreatment detail was modified,replacing the concrete forebay with metal plate with a trench drain pan. The pretreatment function is identical to the \ approved design. 7) The design of the site's center greenspace was simplified.The proposed bioretention system 5 berms and double underdrain pipe was edited to provide a single vegetated drainage area with an underdrain. 8) The extent of the proposed block retaining walls in the center of the site was reduced. 9) Additional annotation and detail was added throughout the plan set for constructability. 1 10) The proposed wooden deck and associated ramp systems were deleted from the proposed plan. I These changes are reflected on the plan dated October 2015 and revised December 2015,titled West Mill Redevelopment Construction Plans,prepared by Horsley Witten Group,Inc. i 4 reign arreei Site Plan Review(Insubstantial Change) February 29,2016 The project has been reviewed by the town's consultant,Eggleston Environmental, as noted by email correspondence dated February 22, 2016. Ms.Eggleston has reviewed the proposed revisions and concurs that the revised design does provide the required pretreatment and treatment volumes in the basins consistent with the approved plan and that the revisions proposed are minor and insignificant with respect to the Wetland Bylaw. DECISION With the exception of Item 10,the proposed changes are deemed to be insubstantial and do not alter either the intent or the conditions of the original Special Permit. The changes do not require a vote of the Planning Board. CONDITIONS The Interim Town Planner's finding of Insubstantial Change is conditioned on the following: 1) This Decision and the revised Plans (sheets C-1 through C-13) dated 10/2015 and revised 12/2015 shall become part of the record and the changes will be reflected on the final as-built drawings which will be reviewed and approved by the Planning Department. 2) The proposed wooden deck and associated ramp system design to stabilize the culvert must be approved and agreed upon at a later construction phase.

Vote was 4 in FAVOR,none opposed to the application. On behdf of the North dover Planning Board ATTEST,. John Simons, Chairman Ague Copy David Kellogg Lynne Rudnicki 11wu,CleiriC Peter Boynton Bk 14345 Pg251 #21227 4 High Street Downtown Overlay Special Permit Modification July 24,2015 The Planning Board herein APPROVES: (a) a Downtown Overlay Special Permit Modification under Section 18 of the Zoning and (b) a Parking Special Permit Modification under Section 8.1 of the Zoning Bylaw,so as to allow the demolition of Building 37 in its entirety,the creation of a total of 152 parking spaces, revised landscaping, revised storrnwater management plans and revised operation and maintenance report as depicted on the Plans and other supporting information,reports, as described herein. The application was filed with the Planning Board on July 8, 2015. The applicant submitted a complete application conforming to the requirements of the Zoning Bylaw, which application was noticed and reviewed in accordance with Sections 8.1, 10.3, and 18 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw. The public hearing on the above referenced application was opened and closed on July 21, 2015. A quorum of Planning Board members was present. The Planning Board makes the following findings as required by the North Andover Zoning Bylaws Sections 8.1, 10.3, and 18: FINDINGS OF FACT: 1) The modification of the January 6, 2015 Downtown Overlay Special Permit "Previous Plans"results in a net decrease in impervious area and a net increase of parking spaces by 3 over the previous plans. 2) The modifications were reviewed by the Planning Board's peer consultant who determined: there was a net improvement in stormwater management, complies with Massachusetts Stormwater Standards, the removal of building 37 in its entirety has a beneficial impact on stormwater management. 3) Building 37 was constructed in the 1990's and is not considered historical. 4) The piped culvert running under the new proposed parking area and under building 37° was only structurally spanned in certain areas which made the previous plans structurally deficient. The modified plans allow for safe vehicle and pedestrian travel over the culvert. 5) The modified plans incorporate an outdoor wooden deck area and open the views to Osgood Pond. 6) The specific site is an appropriate location for the project as it is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Downtown Overlay District in that the site design complements the surrounding uses, preserves important historical building elements and the historic nature of the district, and provides for sufficient traffic and circulation improvements in a manner which promotes a vibrant, mixed use, commercial center. The proposed demolition of Building 37 and resulting uses will not negatively impact historic structures, and the proposed parking, landscaping, and other improvements will enhance the physical access and visual presence of the remaining structures. 2of8 Bk 14345 Pg252 #21227 4 High Street Downtown Overlay Special Permit Modification July 24,2015 7) Based on input received from both the Planning Board and the Planning Board's peer review stormwater management consultant, the applicant is providing for a stormwater management benefit for both volume and flow of stormwater from the existing and proposed parking lot, thus complying with Massachusetts Stormwater Standards as well as the Planning Board's standards. The proposed changes will provide both treatment and attenuation through the use of stormwater BMPs. 8) The Applicant will remove paving in specific areas near the wetland and pond, named "Osgood Pond", and create an attractive amenity for visitors and to benefit the pond ecology with native plantings. 9) The parking lot will primarily consist of bituminous pavement supplemented by decorative pavers, and plantings. In the design, the Applicant has sought to preserve the slab foundation of the building to be razed in order to protect the underlying culvert system; the slab will be cut strategically to provide locations for bio swales, new circulation, and other drainage features. 10) The use as developed will not adversely affect the neighborhood as the proposed uses are consistent with the intent of the Downtown Overlay District, the site and associated buildings are in the Downtown Overlay District, and the existing activity on-site consists of a mix of residential, commercial,and industrial uses. 11) There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians. The proposal will not have a significant impact on pedestrian safety and vehicular circulation since the project involves a re-orientation of the proposed parking area. The proposed project enhances the overall walkability and encourages pedestrian activity. 12) The project will have a positive impact on the neighborhood visual character, including architectural design,views, and vistas. The proposed demolition of Building 37 will open a view to Osgood Pond from High Street. 13) The proposed landscaping for the project is consistent with the intent of the screening and landscaping criteria and will enhance and complement the proposed parking improvements. 14) The Board finds that a Special Permit under Section 8.1 is appropriate. In accordance with Section 8.1.8(b) (Modification of Parking/Loading Area Design Standards), the modifications to drive aisles,parking spaces,pedestrian crossings and the parking layout as depicted on the Plans, would serve to provide for safe and convenient parking for the project. In accordance with Section 8.1.8(e) (Common Parking Areas and Multiple Use Facilities), the Project will involve a combination of retail, restaurant, office, and residential uses on the Property, where the hours, days, or peak parking or loading demand for the uses at West Mill are so different that the proposed number of Project spaces (152) will provide adequately for all uses or activities proposed to be served by the parking facility. 3 of 8 Bk 14345 Pg253 #21227 4 High Street Downtown Overlay Special Permit Modification July 24,2015 15) The Applicant shall be responsible for ensuring the proper continued operation and maintenance of the stormwater system as noted in the O& M Report submitted with this modification. 16) Finally the Planning Board finds that this project generally complies with the Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaw requirements as listed in Section 18, but requires conditions in order to be fully in compliance. The Planning Board hereby grants an approval to the applicant provided the following conditions are met as outlined below.

On behalf of the Nordljtdover Planning Board John Simons,Chair Michael Colantoni David Kellogg Lora MoSherry Lynne Rudnicki j Peter Boynton,Associate 1 7 4 High St,Map 54,Parcel 01 Downtown Overlay Special Permit,West Mill The Planning Board herein APPROVES: (a)a Downtown Overlay Special Permit under Section 18 of the Zoning Bylaw(including Section 18.2.9[Special Permit for Multifamily Dwellings of 18 or more units]and 183[Special Permit for Waivers]);and(b)a Parking Special Permit under Section 8.1 of the Zoning Bylaw, so as to allow the partial demolition of one building on-site,the creation of a new 120 space parking lot, conservation and reconstruction of historic facades of adjacent buildings,conversion of existing space for up to 42 residential apartments,implementation of the signage master plan,and all associated landscaping and grading activities, all as depicted on the Plans and other supporting information as described herein. The application was filed with the Planning Board on September 29, 2014. The public hearing on the above referenced application was opened on October 21,2014,was continued to December 2,2014 and December 16,2014,and closed on January 6,2015.The applicant submitted a complete application conforming to the requirements of the Zoning Bylaw,which application was noticed and reviewed in accordance with Sections 8.1,10.3,and 18 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw. The Planning Board makes the following findings as required by the North Andover Zoning Bylaws Sections 8.1, 10.3,and 18: FIlVDINGS OF FACT: 1) The specific site is an appropriate location for the project as it is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Downtown Overlay District in that the site design complements the surrounding uses, preserves important historical building elements and the historic nature of the district, and provides for sufficient traffic and circulation improvements in a manner which promotes a vibrant,mixed use, commercial center. The proposed demolition and resulting uses will not negatively impact historic structures,and the proposed parking,landscaping,and other improvements will enhance the physical l access and visual presence of the remaining structures. 2) Based on input received from both the Planning Board and the Planning Board's peer review stormwater management consultant,the applicant is providing for a stormwater management benefit for both volume and flow of stormwater from the existing and proposed parking lot,thus complying with Massachusetts Stormwater Standards as well as the Planning Board's standards. The proposed changes will provide both treatment and attenuation through the use of stormwater BMPs. 3) The Applicant will remove paving in specific areas near the wetland and pond, named "Osgood Pond", and create an attractive amenity for visitors and to benefit the pond ecology with native plantings. I 4) The parking lot will primarily consist of bituminous pavement supplemented by decorative pavers.In the design, the Applicant has sought to preserve the slab foundation of the building to be razed in order to protect the underlying culvert.system;the slab.will.be out strategically to-provide locations for bio swales,new circulation,and other drainage features. 5) The use as developed will not adversely affect the neighborhood as the proposed uses are consistent with the intent of the Downtown Overlay District, the site and associated buildings are in the Downtown Overlay District, and the existing activity on-site consists of a mix of residential, commercial,and industrial uses. 6) There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians.The proposal will not have a significant impact on pedestrian safety and vehicular circulation since the-project is an expansion of an existing parking area. The proposed project enhances the overall walkability and encourages pedestrian activity. 2 i 4 High St.,Map 54,Parcel 01 Downtown Overlay Special Permit,West Mill 7) The project will have a positive impact on the neighborhood visual character,including architectural I design,views,and vistas.The proposed demolition of Building 37S will open a view to Osgood Pond from High Street. 8) The Board finds that the proposed residential units(including a fust,by-right phase of 17 units,and a second phase of 25 units allowed by Special Permit under Section 18),are appropriate for the site and ; consistent with the objectives articulated in Section 18 in efforts to both encourage a mix of uses within the same structure and to encourage a diverse mix of uses on site. 9) The proposed project will result in a combination of retail,restaurant, office, and residential use on f the property,and the peak parking demand resulting from this mix of uses will vary.The Board finds that the proposed number of parking spaces, in combination with off-street parking and existing parking facilities on and adjacent to the site,is sufficient to accommodate the uses proposed in this project. 10)The proposed landscaping for the project is consistent with the intent of the screening and landscaping criteria and will enhance and complement the proposed parking improvements. The Board finds that a Special Permit under Section 8.1.8(h)for the waiver of the screening,landscaping, and other criteria set forth under Section 8.4 as it relates to the new parking area is appropriate since the applicant is proposing new landscaping and other improvements as depicted in the Landscape Plans. 11)The Board finds that the submitted Signage Master Plan will provide for visual clarity for the project ei borhood and surrounding uses,and is consistent with the site,will enhance the character of then neighborhood , intent of the Zoning Bylaw. The Board herein approves the Signage Master Plan. All signage will f integrate with and be consistent with the signage master plan for the East Mill site,and color pattern with respect to banner signs will be uniform and consistent. 12)The Board finds that a Special Permit under Section 8.1 is appropriate. In accordance with Section 8.1.8(b)(Modification of Parking(Loading Area Design Standards),the modifications to drive aisles, parking spaces and the parking layout as depicted on the Plans,would serve to provide for safe and convenient parking for the project.In accordance with Section 8.1.8(e)(Common Parking Areas and Multiple Use Facilities), the Project will involve a combination of retail, restaurant, office, and residential uses on the Property, where the hours, days, or peak parking or loading demand for the uses at West Mill are so different that the proposed number of Project spaces will provide adequately for all uses or activities proposed to be served by the parking facility. The Board also finds in accordance with Section 8.1.8(&) (Reduction in Parking Spaces)that a reduction in parking of 112 i spaces(1,149 are spaces required, 1037 total parking spaces proposed to be provided) is justified.If in the future, parking demand increases significantly, there are other opportunities at West Mill to increase the number of parking spaces should the need arise. 13)Finally the Planning Board finds that this project generally complies with the Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaw requirements as listed in Section 18, but requires conditions in order to be fully in compliance. The Planning Board hereby grants an approval to the applicant provided the following conditions are met and also grants specific waivers outlined below.

The project is located at 4 High Street, North Andover, Massachusetts, 01845,Assessors Map 054.0,Parcel 0001 within the Industrial-S (IS) and General Business (GB) Zoning District. The parcel totals approximately 416,904 sq. ft. with frontage on High Street. This Special Permit was requested byRCG LLC, on behalf of RCG West Mill NA LLC, 17 Ivaloo Street, Suite 100,Somerville,Ma 02143. The application was filed with the Planning Board on or about March 17,2014. The public hearing on the above referenced application was opened on April 15, 2014, and closed by the North Andover Planning Board on April 15, 2014. The applicant submitted a complete application,which was noticed and reviewed in accordance with Section 8.1, 8.3, 10.3, 10.3 1, and 18 of the Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaw and MGL C.40A,Sec.9. The Planning Board makes the following findings as required by the North Andover Zoning Bylaws Section 8.1, 8.3, 10.3, 10.31 and 18: FINDINGS OF FACT: 1) The specific site is an appropriate location for the project as it is an expansion to an existing parking area within the Downtown Overlay District. The additional parking spaces will be added, along with bio-retention areas for stormwater management, within the footprint of the existing parking area, resulting in no increase in impervious surface. 2) Based on input received from both the Planning Board and the Planning Board's stormwater management consultant,the applicant is providing for a substantial stormwater management benefit for both volume and flow of stormwater from the existing parking lot, thus complying with Massachusetts Stormwater Standards, as well as the Planning Board's Site Plan Review standards. The existing stormwater runoff flows directly into a piped drainage system, whereas the proposed change will provide both treatment and attenuation through the use of stormwater BMPs described below. 3) Runoff from the parking area will be directed towards five bio-retention/rain gardens that will be located within the existing parking lot. The rain gardens will provide pre-treatment for stormwater and will result in a decrease in runoff to the existing underground piped system. The rain gardens will contain 3 feet of soil medium to allow for flow attenuation and TSS removal.
