Proposed Project:
The applicant has proposed to construct 27 new cottages of approximately 1400 -
2,000± S.F. each and a greenhouse of approximately 720 S.F. There will be a new 20
foot wide roadway with individual driveways to access the cottages. There are two
existing buildings that will be renovated into three units. The renovated buildings will use
the existing building footprint. The project will remove three existing buildings, a gravel
access drive and a parking area in the 100 foot buffer, up to the BVW along the east
side of the property.
In addition, additional CCRC Program Space will be added, as shown on the Site Plans.
A new informal Dining Area (the "Bistro")will be constructed, along with a 2 story
addition containing the Adult Social Day Program. Also, an addition containing a
Cognitive Impaired Unit is being proposed.
Along the access road to the Pre-School, the Applicant is proposing to remove
approximately 3,500 S.F. of existing buildings within the 100 foot Wetland buffer zone up
to the 25 foot buffer zone. The existing gravel drive will be improved with a bituminous
concrete surface. The improved way will be designed so that all new runoff will pitch
away from the wetland into treatment swales along the southern edge of the road. This
will treat and convey the runoff before discharging into the wetland at the southern end
of the site. The existing gravel way leading to Half Mile Hill and Town of Andover
Conservation land will be maintained. There will be a fire access from the improved way
to the existing parking lot just south of the proposed cottages. This fire access will be
gated at both ends and it will be constructed of a grass paver material which will infiltrate
rainfall and support the weight of the fire trucks. The project will include swales, rain
gardens and Stormceptor catch basins to treat stormwater runoff from the project site
prior to discharging toward the BVW. There are retaining walls proposed along the
southern edge of the property to accommodate for the quick change in grade. The
retaining walls vary in height.
The proposed development of the site results in a net increase in impervious area. The
final total proposed impervious area is approximately 111,426 square feet, an increase
of 53,491 square feet from the existing site. Work proposed within the 25'-buffer"No
Disturb Zone" consists of removal of impervious surfaces, grading for storm water
treatment and volume retention and access way improvements. Construction activities
performed in the "No Disturb Zone"will require extreme care not to disturb more land
than necessary. Conservation plantings will provide opportunities to remove invasive
species and add native species to the area.

ADDITIONAL SHEET 5
Existing Site Conditions:
The existing site at 575 Osgood Street consists of a Continuing Care Retirement
Community ("CRRC") originally approved in the 1990's. The site consists of a main
building, a health care facility and residential units. The new parcel under consideration
has 8 structures (6 barns and 2 dwellings) on over 17 acres of farm land. The parcel
generally slopes down (elevation 169 to 154) from the northern portion of the site to the
existing paved driveway that leads to the main buildings. Analysis of the existing
drainage patterns takes into account off site areas north and east of the locus. There are
two gravel driveways and a small gravel parking area. There are wetlands to the north
and east along the property line and wetlands along the southern edge of the property.
There is a gravel drive that leads to the Family Cooperative Pre-School east of the site.
This is the only access to the school. This gravel drive also leads to conservation land
(Half Mile Hill). There are mature trees that line the gravel access to the school.
A Conservation Restriction Easement extends approximately 300 feet to the north of the
paved driveway running to the eastern property line.
