Attachment Sullivan Engineering ,, , 4C Civil Engineers&Land Develo'pM'"' enic6ijsujta"ntsl To: North Andover Planning Board From: John D. Sullivan 111, P.E. (on behalf of Seng Ea—Owner/Petitioner) Date: June 30, 2006 Subject: 163 Turnpike Street—Site Plan Special Permit Planning Board Members; This application is made to the North Andover Planning Board to allow the creation of 8 parking spaces for a mixed use property at 163 Turnpike Street. The applicant has received approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals to convert the existing building into first floor office space and a second floor residential unit per ZBA case#2006-016. The property is located in a R-4 zoning district at the intersection of Turnpike Street and Peters Street and consists of 18,238 square feet of land area. The owner, Seng Ea,purchased the property a little over a year ago and is in the process of making major improvements to the interior and exterior of the building. The proposed site development will consist of a paved parking area with vehicular access off of Peters Street utilizing the existing curb cut. Eight parking spaces will be provided,with one space being designated for handicap parking. A handicap access ramp is proposed to provide access from the parking lot to the structure. A crushed stone trench is proposed along a portion of the pavement area to capture storm water runoff from the paved surface. A total of 7 evergreen trees will be planted as a landscaped buffer along the northerly boundary line. An existing 6' high stockade fence runs along the westerly boundary line. The applicant is requesting the following waivers from the Planning Board: 1) A waiver from a traffic impact study. This project will generate minimal vehicular trips per day and will have no measurable impact on the existing level of service of Peters Street. 2) A waiver from a storm water analysis and design. This project will produce a limited increase in impervious coverage and insignificant grading changes for the construction of the parking area. A 3' x 3' crushed stone trench will provide for the capture and storage of the majority of storm water runoff associated with the parking lot. It should be noted that storm water runoff will not be introduced to Peters Street or Turnpike Street. The applicant also requests a waiver from the consultant fee for this project. Please find attached the completed Site Plan application and certified abuttors lists for this project. 22 Mount Vernon Road — Boxford,Massachusetts 01921 — (978)352-7871-Phone — 978352-7871 -Fax TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER DIVISION OF PUBLIC WORKS 384 OSGOOD STREET NORTH ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS 01845-2909 J.

Tullis RE of NORTH A Telephone (978) 685-0950 Director of Engineering �� s`-1- '�O/ Fax(978) 688-9573 �0 A July 11, 2006 SSACHUSE Lincoln Daley Town Planner Re: review 163 Turnpike St. site plan by Sullivan Engineering dated June 28, 2006 As the design engineer knows, the DPW Engineering Dept. is extremely understaffed and our review is limited to town road issues and not the site as a whole. This is made difficult by not having traffic and hydrology information provided. I offer the following comments about the site as proposed: I. The driveway entrance would be safer if located further from the intersection of Peters St. and Rte 114. 2. The negative pitch of the drive off Peters St. is an essential component of the design. A condition of occupancy should be compliance with grades as shown on the design plan. 3. A stop sign should be installed at the drive exit. K Re: Riverview Preliminary subdivision responses from Graham Associates dated June 30, 2006. I offer the following comments about the response as presented: 1. The minimum water main size required in the town of North Andover is 8" 2. We do not recommend granting the proposed waivers in order to further develop the locus. 3. Riverview St., as it presently exists, is inadequate to handle additional dwelling units. Eugene P. Willis, P.E. Director of Engineering Cc: File VkoRr1 4'it-tco ,6v o Z.
