MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 11, 2017
TO: Zoning Board of Appeals
Albert Manzi 111, Chairman
FROM: North Andover Conservation Department
Jennifer Hughes, Conservation Administrator
SUBJECT: 460, 500 & 530 Boxford Street
The Conservation Department is in receipt of a Zoning Bylaw Review Form stating that Michael,
Thomas and Cornelius Donovan are requesting dimensional variances for lotline and contiguous
buildable area.
A plan titled "Plan of Land in North Andover, Mass."Dated December 20, 2016 accompanies the
request. The plan shows a wetland delineation and associated buffer zones that have not been reviewed
or approved by the North Andover Conservation Commission, The plan shows a 25-foot No-
Disturbance Zone and a 50-foot No-Build Zone. These buffer zones could be greater if there are
ephemeral/vernal pools on the property.
Any division of the property should not create a hardship or need for a waiver of the North Andover
Wetlands Protection Bylaw and associated regulations including from the No-Build/No-Disturbance
Zones. It is the Conservation Department's understanding that a septic design for the houses has been
approved by the Board of Health (also without approval of the wetland line or the associated setbacks).
