located and shown. No since telling her at the last meeting that there would be some kind of drainage plan it resolved whatever
questions or concern there might have been

Jody Allen owner of the property located at 10 Silsbee Road North Andover, MA.01845 and Camille Miragliotta Daly Attorney are at
the podium/table to speak.Jody Allen states that they are looking to build a family suite.
Ellen McIntyre asks what the Variance Request is for.
Camille Daly states that it is for the rear setback which is supposed to be 30 feet but we are requesting to have 16.69 feet.
Ellen McIntyre asks if this is setback is existing.
Allan Cuscia clarifies that the applicant would like to create the 16.69 foot setback which would require a Variance.
Camille Daly confirms that yes that is correct.
Ellen McIntyre asks why this is needed.
Camille Daly states that the family suite addition is the reason and that placing the addition anywhere else it would block windows,
doors, if the family suite addition was put in the front it would violate and if put on the other side it would intrude upon parking,a
garage and cost more money which the applicant is trying to avoid.
Albert P Manzi III speaks to the neighborhood and that if the neighbors did not like the idea or the aesthetic of the plan they would be
at the ZBA meeting to oppose it.
Jody Allen that's why we designed the family suite addition where it is, in order to keep it looking like a single family home and trying
to keep it in the aesthetic of the neighborhood.
Ellen McIntyre speaks to the fact that the family suite looks to be larger than the 25%of the square footage as outlined in the Zoning
Bylaw.
Ellen McIntyre also asks for clarification on the size of the existing home and square footage of the proposed family suite.
Jody Allen and Camille Daly state that the square footage of the existing home is 2016 square feet and has two floors and the
proposed family suite is 529.
The Board asks if Gerald Brown has seen the plans and if they were ok to him or he told the applicant that another variance was
needed for the proposed size of the family suite.

Jody Allen and Camille Daly state that yes he has seen the plans and is okay with him and no Mr. Brown did not state that another
Variance was needed or that the proposed size was over the maximum allowed.
The Board is discussing the size and shape of the proposed family suite and the Bylaw that is in question 4.122.There is discussion
among the Board as to the definition of the Family Suite Bylaw. The Board is discussing whether or not the porch is part of living suite
which brings it to 25%or if not the 25%is 504.The discussion also addresses the possibility of speaking to the Building Inspector to get
clarification on the square footage calculations.
Camille Daly states that he would like to get clarification from the Building Inspector on the 25%square footage.
Albert P Manzi III discusses the requirements and the merits of the Zoning Board and the Building Inspectors roles in the Town in
regard to the Zoning Bylaws.
Allan Cuscia the issue as he sees it is the fact that the proposed family suite addition looks to be easily converted to an apartment and
that it looks to be a studio apartment and that when the home is sold in the future it can be used as a studio apartment.
Camille Daly speaks to the fact that it is for Mrs.Allen use only and that the family suite Special Permit is for her alone and that when
the home is sold the Special Permit would go away and it would only be a single family home.
The Board is discussing the design and merits of the proposed family suite. Also being discussed is the fact that the ownership of the
property is in a trust and that the proposed occupant of the new family suite addition would be the trustee and that the occupant of
the existing home would not be the owner of the property,and the fact that a Trust is not a person and therefore does not have
siblings, parents,spouses or children and that the Bylaw in question 2.37.1"Family Suite (1987/22)A separate dwelling unit located
within a single family dwelling subordinate in size to the principal unit and separated from it in a manner,which maintains the
appearance of the building as a single-family dwelling.The size of the family suite is not to exceed 1200 square feet or not more than
25%of the gross floor area of the principal unit,whichever is lesser.The family suite may only be occupied by brothers,sisters,
maternal parents and grandparents, in-laws and or children of the residing owners of the principal dwelling unit. In no case shall an
apartment be smaller than the minimum required by health and building codes",and Bylaw 4.122 which states"Family Suite—a
separate dwelling unit within or attached to a dwelling for a member of a household is allowable by Special Permit provided:a.The
dwelling unit is not occupied by anyone except brothers,sisters, maternal and paternal parents and grandparents,or children of the
residing owners of the dwelling unit; b.That the premises are inspected annually by the Building Inspector for conformance to this
section of the Bylaw;c.The Special Permit shall be recorded at the North Essex Registry of Deeds.",and that a Trust would not have
standing to apply to the Zoning Board. A. Manzi states that he believes the bylaw is stating who can live in the proposed Family Suite
not who can apply for a Special Permit, he also directs the question to the applicant Jody Allen the question of who would be living in
the proposed family suite.
Albert Manzi III apologies to Jody Allen about the discussion and issues being addressed amongst the Board Members in reference to
the size and property being in a Trust.
Jody Allen and Camille Daly state that Jody Allen would be living in the proposed Family Suite and that Jody Allen is the Trustee and
Joint Beneficiary along with her daughter Kim Dufrense of the Trust,and that Mr.Allen's daughter(Kim Dufrense)and her husband
(Chris Dufrense)and their two children would be living in the existing home.
There is discussion among the Board members as to whether or not the trustee of the property would be living in the Family Suite
instead of living in the existing home.The board is discussing the merits of the application for the family suite.

There is discussion on the Trust of the application and the possible implications of the property being in a trust and that the owner
would be in the family suite instead of in the main home and the possibility of the Trust being changed to have Mrs.Allen's daughter
be the owner of the property. Or having the cancelled and make the daughter the owner of the property.The Board is discussing the
reason for the Variance and the need for the Variance.
Camille Daly speaks to the shape and logistics of the property that the only reasonable location for the family suite addition is the
location because of lot size and a garage and driveway currently on the property. Also by placing it where we have it will maintain the
single family aesthetic of the neighborhood.
Albert P Manzi III asks the applicant if they would like to continue to the next meeting to get some clarifications on points that the
Board is requesting in regard concerns,the first concern is the 1200 square feet or the 25%which is the figure reflected by the
building inspectors calculations,the second the issue of the property being in a Trust and that the Trustee of the Trust living in the
family suite and now in the main home,third is the Variance request specifically what is the hardship or need for the variance request.
Albert P Manzi III also informs the applicant what the procedural remedies are,to continue,to call a vote,or to withdraw. Albert P
Manzi III asks Merylle Chase the Zoning assistant to help facilitate a meeting between Donald Belanger, Inspector of Buildings for the
Town of North Andover and the applicant.Albert Manzi III also apologizes to Mrs.Allen regarding the discourse between board
members over her application.
Ellen McIntyre requests information on the location and distance from the home and proposed family suite addition to the garage,
also if the porch located on the back of the house covered; clarifying the porch in question is the proposed second entrance for the
family suite addition. Ellen McIntyre asks if the walkway to the garage is covered and if the garage is one or two stories tall.
Camille Daly and Jody Allen state that the walkway is not covered and that the garage is one story in height.
Camille Daly and Jody Allen ask to continue the public hearing in order to get more information for the Board.

Attorney Brian Vaughan and Thomas Clifford are at the podium/table to speak.
Albert P Manzi III has made a disclosure under Chapter 268A that Mrs. Clifford may have been a teacher for one of his children,
several years ago,and offered to recuse himself.The offer of recusal was declined by both Attorney Vaughan and Mr. Clifford.
Attorney Vaughan speaking on behalf of Mr. Clifford states that his presentation will be short and that the home is owned by Tom and
his mother Roberta and the one thing Attorney Vaughan would like to point out is that they are in fact looking a two family conversion
not a family suite,although the intent is for the unit to be occupied by Toms parents.
Albert P Manzi III asks for the clarification that the applicant is in fact looking for a conversion of a single family home to a two family
home.
Attorney Vaughan confirms that yes they are seeking approval for a Special Permit for a conversion from a single family home to a two
family home.There are a handful of nonconformities with this home but that they are preexisting. The home is a single family home
with an attached garage and the plan is so expand the footprint of the garage and to put the second unit above the expanded garage,
which would be occupied by Toms parents Steve and Roberta Clifford,Tom his wife and their two daughters would remain living in the
existing home. The home is surrounded by and on the cross streets by larger multifamily homes we submitted pictures of those to
give the Board a favor of what else is in the neighborhood.We believe the proposed plans would fit well and be consistent with the
surrounding homes.As far as the dimensional criteria for the conversion as spelled out in my memo dated June 02,2016.Where we
are increasing the existing structure but the expansion area is less than 50%of the gross floor area per 4.122 section 14 of the North
Andover Bylaw.
Attorney Vaughan asks to approach the Board to explain the plans and the dimensions of the proposed addition/conversion.
The Board grants the request and Attorney Vaughan approaches the Board and explains the request. That the cross hatched section
drawn on the plans is the expansion request for the new garage with a proposed 2nd garage stall with the proposed 2nd unit above,
with stairway to access the unit.
Ellen McIntyre is clarifying that the only request is for a Special Permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Attorney Vaughan confirms that yes they are only requesting a Special Permit for a conversion of a single family home to a Two family
home.
The Board is reviewing the application, pictures and all the pertaining documents provided by the applicant and his Attorney.
Albert P. Manzi III asks if the existing garage is that still the footprint.

with Gerald Brown, Inspector of Building,Town of North Andover,the provision which the garage setback more than the 10 feet from
the fagade of the house if you look at the picture of the house it appears to be consistent with the fagade of the house however the
we actually front on Chadwick Street with the garage is setback is well beyond the 10 feet required from Chadwick street.
Allan Cuscia requested to know the legal address of the property.
Attorney Vaughan and Mr. Clifford state the legal address is 19 Chadwick Street.

property slopes slightly down.Attorney Vaughan states that the Conservation Department has reviewed the design and there was no
issue.
Albert P. Manzi III and D.Paul Koch ask what the increase of impervious ground for the project is. Is the driveway being enlarged?
Attorney Vaughan states that he does not have the square footage calculation but the increase in size is 12%foot by 9.3 feet,and yes
the driveway is being expanded to match the proposed garage size which is approximately 12 feet by 18 feet.

Attorney Brian Vaughan and Ryan Schruender are at the podium/table to speak.The reason we requested for the hearings to be heard
concurrently is that the 320 Pleasant Street applications drives the need for the application on the 54 Phillips Court address. This is a
case of a lot merger where there was two preexisting non-conforming lots that a prior landowner inadvertently held in the same
name.As it presently exists there are two separate existing lots of record which was approved by Zoning and conformed at the time,
however zoning subsequently changed and the lots became non-conforming most notably the lots are respectively 7,500 square feet
and 10,500 square feet and the new lot size for an R-4 Zone is 12,500 square feet,therefore they then became non-conforming. Had
the properties been held in a Trust or separate names they would have maintained their protected Zoning status. If that were the
case we would be able to build on the 10,500 square foot lot by right so long as we complied with all of the setback requirements,
which in fact on the 10,500 foot lot we would.

The Board requests clarification that the 10,500 foot lot is lot 12.They are also clarifying that the Inspector of Buildings did not believe
the lots where grandfathered in and that the lots had merged. Another question posed to the applicant is whether or not the lots are
taxed separately.
Attorney Vaughan confirms that he is speaking currently about lot 12 which is the 320 Pleasant Street.Attorney Vaughan confirms the
lot information also.We are not proposing to change the lot lines,we are proposing to seek a variance on 320 Pleasant Street which is
depicted as Lot 12 ("Plan of Phillips Court"dated October 26, 1953, Engineered Ralph B Brasseur C.E. signed by the Town of North
Andover Zoning Boards of Appeals on December 14, 1953)for an undersized lot of 10,500 feet to construct a new single family
structure with respect to Lot 1112("Plan of Phillips Court"dated October 26, 1953, Engineered Ralph B Brasseur C.E. signed by the
Town of North Andover Zoning Boards of Appeals on December 14, 1953)and to recognize the existing conditions of the property on
that lot as it was built in accordance with the 1953 plan.We are asking this for zoning purposes because the lot is already separate in
the existing plan of record.
The Board is asking for clarification on the properties specifically how the lots are non-conforming to today's Zoning Bylaws but
because they are held by one owner them has merged for zoning purposes only to be one lot. Versus them being two separately taxed
lots of record.
Attorney Vaughan gives an explanation that the lots were never merged by plan or deed but by the fact of the same owner of two
connecting non-conforming lots.Attorney Vaughan states that Ryan Schruender and his wife Mary currently live in the two family at
54 Phillips Court which is Lot 11(12 ("Plan of Phillips Court"dated October 26, 1953, Engineered Ralph B Brasseur C.E. signed by the
Town of North Andover Zoning Boards of Appeals on December 14, 1953)who are recently married and looking to start a family and
build a larger home but stay with in the neighborhood.So they are propping to build a single family home on Lot 12("Plan of Phillips
Court" dated October 26, 1953, Engineered Ralph B Brasseur C.E. signed by the Town of North Andover Zoning Boards of Appeals on
December 14, 1953)and they would continue to own the two family at 54 Phillips Court and rent it rather than owner occupy it.
The Board asked if any other Boards will be reviewing this.
Attorney Vaughan and Ryan Schruender state that no,and also made mention that Conservation has been out to the site and have
signed off on the lot.
Alexandria Jacobs asked if the house would face Phillips Court or Pleasant Street.
Attorney Vaughan responded that the house would face/front Phillips Court.And Pleasant Street would be the side yard. He also
states that there is a guard rail on the Pleasant street side of the property with a steep slope.
D.Paul Koch asks the applicant what the hardship is and what the driving need is for the Variance as it pertains to Soil conditions,
shape or Topography of the Land.
Attorney Vaughan says that the Topography of the Land as it relates to the slope on the property from Pleasant Street.As a separate
matter one of the matters is the lot size and it being undersized in regard to a lot Variance.
Albert P Manzi III asks about the Landscaping and potential location of the proposed home.
Attorney Vaughan and Ryan Schruender speak to the location and the trees on the property,and that they will try to keep as many
trees as possible for privacy,except where the foundation and driveway would be.

Ellen McIntyre asks why the need for a Variance on 54 Phillips Court.Are you asking for us to make this a legal lot?
Attorney Vaughan states that because of the doctrine of lot merger,and yes we are asking you to re-establish the lot 12.Attorney
Vaughan discusses the property and the circumstances of the property in regard to Zoning and legal standing.
Albert P. Manzi III asked if any abutters had any questions with regard to this applicant, he also gave a brief explanation on how
questions and or concerns will be received (which is to address the Board and the Board will voice them to the applicant).
Ellen Carter,38-40 Phillips Court is at the table to speak and states that she has lived at that address for 32 years and that this is a
close knit neighborhood which includes many second or third generation owners. She is one of 10 abutters that signed a letter of
objection to this application. One of the points she mentions is the fact that these homes were built at the turn of the century in the
late 1800's or early 1900's for the mill workers and in all of that time the neighborhood has remained relatively unchanged and
strongly feel that the construction of a large single family home would forever alter and transform this neighborhood. The proposed
new home is completely out of character with the current homes on the street the other homes are two family homes and this would
be a single family home with over 3000 square feet and a two car garage which looks nothing like the other properties on the street.
She states that the loss of vacant lot(320 Pleasant Street)which acts as a green space for the neighborhood would be a great loss to
the neighborhood because it is a very dense location. There is also concern with water runoff if this property is developed. She also
made mention to the fact that the previous owner came before the ZBA in 2002 and was denied a similar application.
Albert P. Manzi III asks if she is opposed to the proposed single family home or is she opposed to anything being built there. He also
speaks to the fact that it is the owners right to raise the existing structure and request to build something larger on the lot.
Ellen Carter responds that she is opposed to anything being built there. She states that she recognize that Mr.Schruender has the
ability to do something else to the overall lot.
John Donovan,23-25 Phillips Court is at the table to speak and states that he grew up in the neighborhood and is still a resident there,
and that his family has owned the property for sixty years that his family has been there for 75 years in one way or another. He also
made mention that his father and the owner of 54 Philips Court and 320 Pleasant street purchased them around 1956 from Mr.
Stevens it he does not believe it was sold as two deeds. He also feels that any change would not be good for the neighborhood and
that he would have serious difficulty accepting anything that does not conform to the existing neighborhood and that the loss of the
green space.
D.Paul Koch asks what the average size and type of the homes in the current neighborhood?
John Donovan speaks to the size and type of home in the current neighborhood.
Mrs. Donovan,23-25 Phillips Court is at the table to speak and states that she sent a letter to the Zoning Board this morning in regard
to the Historical aspect of the neighborhood and talks about the drainage.She also states that she is opposed to the structure that is
being proposed.
Ronald Hamlet,61 Phillips Court,steps up to the table to speak in regard to this application and states that he has been in the
neighborhood for 20 years now, he also states that he does not want to lose the green space and that it is a relatively small lot.
George Schruender,91 Quail Run,steps up to the table to speak to the history of the location and neighborhood.

Zoning section in the bylaw along with any drainage and or landscape design.She also asks for case law explaining the need for a
Variance on the 54 Phillips Court property. She also asks what is the Variance requested for Lot 12 (320 Pleasant Street).
Attorney Vaughan states that the Variance request for Lot 12(320 Pleasant Street) is for Lot size only.

Andrew McDevitt and his contractor Bob McCarthy are at the podium to speak, Andrew McDevitt explained that he is requesting a
side Variance in order to expand the current 1%car garage to a two car garage. We have showed the plans to our neighbors and they
have signed a letter of support for our project.
Albert P. Manzi III asked what is the driving need for the Variance ie.Soil Conditions,shape or topography of the land.
Andrew McDevitt explained that the hardship is that the current garage sits on the side of the house and if he were to put it anywhere
else he would then have to pave over grass and access to it would be over the entire front lawn so the shape of the property is
determining the location and therefore the Variance request. We are asking to increase the building only there are no changes to the
pavement,we are actually removing pavement that goes around the side to the back. The yard does have a slope in the front.
The Board inquired about the neighborhood and the other homes as to having two car garages,a buffer area in between the homes.
Andrew McDevitt states that there is a buffer of trees between his home and his neighbors to the left; he also went on to say that the
street has a variety of homes which include two car garages and also has the Barker Farm across the street.
D.Paul Koch asks if the letter of Support from the Guthrie's 254 Barker Street is the neighbors to the left.
