The Kittredge Crossing Property is located at the intersection of Fanwood Avenue and
Chickering Road and near the intersection of Wood Lane and Chickering Road in North
' Andover, Massachusetts.
Fanwood Avenue is an improved minor street that provides access from adjacent apartment
' units to Chickering Road, Route 125,a major collector, which connects central population
areas of Haverhill to North Andover, and North Andover to Andover. Wood Lane is an
unimproved public way which links several minor roadways to Route 125, Chickering
' Road. Because it is unimproved there is currently no traffic utilizing the facility.
The site consists of 6.22 acres or 270,749 square feet land area. The site has frontage on
Chickering Road, Fanwood Avenue and Wood Lane. The site topography slopes from
Chickering Road westerly towards the rear of the site and from Wood Lane southwesterly
towards the rear of the site. There are wetlands(as defined under Chapter 131 Section 40 of
the Wetlands Protection Act) located in the rear portion of the site which run parallel to
Wood Lane. There are also some wetlands adjacent to.Wood Lane, and an intermittent
stream which runs from Chickering Road westerly along Wood Lane. The site is
approximately 3 5%wooded, the balance being open pasture land, a single family house,
garage and driveways, as well as a paved parking area which services a greenhouse and
farm stand, a floral sales facility. The site is serviced with municipal sanitary sewer on
Fanwood Avenue and on Chickering Road as well as a municipal water system on
Fanwood Avenue and Chickering Road. Underground gas service exists in Chickering
Road and Fanwood Avenue and will probably be extended into the proposed development.
All of the buildings will be serviced with the municipal water and sanitary which will be
extended into the site. Telephone, electric and Cable TV which exists above ground on
Fanwood Avenue and Chickering Road, will be extended underground into the site.
There appears to be no floodplain, acquifer, endangered species, historical buildings, or
other special resource areas located on the site.
The proposed system of storm drainage will consists of individual catch basins which will
collect the surface water runoff from the parking areas and walkways. Catch basins will
contain 4 foot sumps with gas and oil traps. The water from the catch basins will run
through an underground pipe system to a sediment forebay where solids will be settled out
of the runoff water. The water will be stored in a detention area where it is discharged to the
' wetlands which currently receive the surface water runoff from the site. A total of 80%total
suspended solids will be moved from the runoff water. Roof water from the roofs will be
infiltrated to provide groundwater recharge and a reduction in peak rate of runoff from the
site.

Re: Project Eligibility Letter

' Dear Lou:
After the Bank's review of your plans, the proposed development of 132 units under a
Comprehensive Permit, the Bank has determined that the Project appears to be eligible
for funding through the Federal Home Loan Bank's ("FHLB-) New England Fund, which
is a federally subsidized fund. This funding will consist of construction financing for the
affordable unit component of the proposed Project.
You have indicated that the Project as proposed will consist of a one hundred thirty-two
(132) unit residential condominium of which twenty-five (25%) of the units will be
affordable units to be sold or rented to moderate income persons meeting the eligibility
guidelines established by FHLB (households with incomes no higher than eighty (80%)
percent of the area median income as published by the Department of Housing and Urban
tDevelopment (HUD). The affordable units will be sold or rented at a price to be
determined in accordance with the guidelines established by FHLB. The units will be
subject to the deed restrictions on resale as already established pursuant to the
Comprehensive Permit.
The subsidy funding will be conditioned upon your compliance with the terms and
conditions and issuance of the Comprehensive Permit as the same may be modified by
III the North Andover Board of Appeals and your execution of a regulatory agreement with
the Bank and a monitoring service g agreement with an acceptable monitoring agent as well
g p
as compliance with any other requirements of the Comprehensive Permit statute, the
rregulations promulgated thereunder and with any requirements of FHLB.

MARK JOHNSON, ESQUIRE, DOROTHY RENNIE,
JOSEPH SCOTT, WILLIAM J. SULLIVAN, as Chairman hoard
ofAppeals - North Andover and NINA M. ROMANO, as Chairlady
for Heritage Green Condominium,
Defendants
MEMORANDUMOF DECISION AND ORDER
On February 24, 2004, this civil matter was before the Court for hearing on motions to
dismiss filed by each of the defendants in this case. Because each of the defendants predicate his
or her motion on a different theory, each of the motions will be considered separately in this
memorandum.
L The motion to dismiss filed by defendant Nina Romano, Trustee of the Heritage Green
Condominium Trust.
In the motion to dismiss filed on behalfofHeritage Green Condominium Trust,the defendant
argues that the complaint"merely recites a series of disjointed thoughts which cannot possibly form
the basis of an actionable claim against the defendant Trustee in its present form." .
A review of the complaint filed in this action confirms the position of the defendant. The
complaint consists of five handwritten pages that make passing reference to a conspiracy in "our
I
clubhouse here in North Andover and in the Town Hall of the Town of Andover." There is further
reference to abused seniors, reference to an appeal from the issuance of a comprehensive permit
issued pursuant to G.L. c.40B by the Town of North Andover,and mention of the alteration of deeds
in such a way as to eliminate the use of a street. There is no connection made with respect to those
events.
There is also included in the case file at least four large packages containing a miscellany of
letters,newspaper articles and notes,none of which develop a consistent theme or constitute a claim
against the defendant.
Where relevant, Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure require as follow.
"A pleading which sets forth a. claim for relief, .whether an, ori,yhial claim,
co"I1terclaili, cross Claim or third parte claim. shall contain ( 1 ) L, slion aEid glair,
statement of the claim showving that the pleader is entitled to relief:and (21)a deniand
for judgment for the relief to which he deems himself entitled."
Mass. R. Civ. P.8(a). The requirement that a complaint be alleged in a short and plaice statement of
the claim is intended to provide a putative defendant frith fair notice of the claim and of the
underlying grounds for that claim. Romano v. Sacknoff, 4 Mass. App. Ct. 862(1976); Pederson
v. Time,Inc.,404 Mass. 14, 17(1989). "The question of a complaint's sufficiency turns on whether
it provides enough information to give the defendant notice of what the dispute is about and asserts
a right to recovery cognizable on some acceptable legal theory." Multi Technology, Inc. v.
Mitchell Management Systems, Inc.,25 Mass. App. Ct. 333 at 335 (1988).
In the present case, the complaint fails the standards set forth in Rule 8(a) and, for that
reason, it will be dismissed with respect to any claim allegedly brought against the defendant Nina
Romano, Trustee of the Heritage Green Condominium Trust, et al.' That dismissal will be with
prejudice.
The Court recognizes that the complaint in this case has been filed by pro se plaintiff;
re and b � the same rules of procedure as litigants with counsel. Jones

?. The motion to dismiss fled by defendant.Dorothy J. Rennie a./k/a Dorothv Rennie Todd and
Rennie Florist
In the motion to dismiss filed on behalf ofDorothy J.Rennie a/k/a Dorothy Rennie Todd and
Rennie Florist, the defendant argues that the documents served on the defendant with the summons
make no reference to any actions taken by defendant Rennie or Rennie Florist, and sets forth no
factual allegations which, if taken to be true, give rise to a cause of action against those defendants.
Plaintiffhas filed no opposition to this motion to dismiss even trough service orthe motion
was 111,1de consistent with the previsions of'Superior €`ourt Rule 9A. For that reason, and becM1s,--:
the compilation of papers alleged to constitute a complaint fails to set forth any cause of action
against this defendant,the motion filed by Dorothy J.Rennie a/k/a Dorothy Rennie Todd and Rennie
Florist will be allowed with prejudice.
3. The motion to dismiss filed by defendant William J Sullivan, Chairman Board of Appeals
In the motion to dismiss fled on behalf of William J. Sullivan,Chairman,Board of Appeals,
the defendant argues that, other than having his name appear in the caption of the summons, the
documents served with the summons makes no reference to any action taken by him and contains
no factual allegations which, if taken as true, would give rise to a cause of action against him.
I
As in the motion discussed immediately above, the plaintiff has filed no opposition to this
motion even though it appears that the defendant has complied with the provisions of Superior Court
Rule 9A. For that reason, and because the compilation of filings in this action fails to set forth any
cause of action against the defendant,William J. Sullivan,his motion to dismiss will be allowed with
prejudice.
4. The motion to dismiss filed by defendant Mark B. Johnson
In his motion to dismiss,defendant Johnson has made an attempt to decipher documents fled
3
by the plaintiff According to Johnson, the plaintiff has alleged that the Trustees of the
Condominium complex entered into a settlement agreement with the developer of a neighboring
parcel, and then made some unspecified change to the master deed of her condemn-inium complex.
Furthermore, according to defendant Johnson, the plaintiff has alleged that the Town of North
Andover acted improperly in the manner in which a public hearing was conducted, the subject of
which was the granting of a permit to that neighboring property known ask Kittridge Crossing.
Apparently. Johnson is a lawyer �Niho represented the plaintiffs condominiun-i association in the �
negotlatIon \�ith representatives o hittrl_doe('rossing. It is through that representation that.1ohnson
'Mins kno-\ ledge ofthe factual background of this case.
Distilling what he knows from the background of the case. Johnson arrives at a description
of the allegations against him. First, in his`capacity as attorney for the Trustees, he is accused of
engaging in criminal fraud to fraudulently exploit an elderly person in violation of G.L. c.297, §9.
Second,he is alleged to have engaged in a conspiracy with the Trustees by negotiating a settlement
on their behalf with the developer of the property adjoining the Condominium property and then by
filing a Declaration of Trust authorized by the Trustees.
After reciting what he believes to be the claims against him,Johnson moves to dismiss those
claims in that a) they are not pleaded with the required particularity and, b) he owed no duty to the
plaintiff and, therefore, she cannot maintain a direct claim against him for following the lawful
directions of the Trustees.
Where relevant,Mass.R.Civ. P.9(b)requires that the circumstances constituting an alleged
fraud be pled with particularity. Specifically, a plaintiff alleging fraud and must particularize the
identity of the person making the fraudulent representation, the content of the representation and
where and when it took place. In addition, the person must specify! the materiality of the
4
misrepresentation. his or her reliance and the resulting harm, see Friedman v. Jablowski, 371
Mass. 482 (1976). In the present case, the plaintiff has failed to meet those minimal requirements
and, for that reason, the complaint against defendant Johnson will be dismissed with prejudice.'-

preliminary submission. Mr. Laudani stated that this plan shows
an off site sewer plan. Mr. Stapinski, of Merrimack Engineering,

before they submit their definitive plan.
1

opening up for other developments when the sewer exists on Rt.
114 .
Mr. Rowen asked Mr. Laudani to pay attention to the playground
area that they talked about during the last plan because there
are going to be a lot of children in the development and they are
going to be near a highway. Mr. Laudani stated that he knows it
is important that we fit the needs of the community.
Mr. Mahoney asked if there were any plans to access Harold Parker

2
Scott stated that the Board needs to establish dates for issuing

Mr. Scott read from his recommendations stating that the
applicant should have the willingness to pay the necessary fee' s
to the current fee schedule. Mr. Scott also stated that since
1987 there have been a lot of different levels of engineering
review and may be cause for closer scrutiny. Swimming pools are
an issue and they need to be looked at more closely.
Mr. Scott stated that when the clock starts ticking there are no
extensions of time and time will just run out for the applicant.
Mr. Mahoney stated that it is a necessity to have a time limit on
the public hearing. Mr. Scott stated that after the memo is

Scott stated that he will ask Town Council on how the applicant
will have to proceed with the notification of abutters .
Mr. Rowen stated that since we are moving forward why not get the
plans in today. Mr. Scott stated that he does not want to touch
anything until we have a signed agreement.
Continued until June 17, 1997 .
Merrimack College - establish a bond
Mr. Scott recommends that Merrimack College give a bond through
Reliance Insurance rather than a cash bond for the reason that
their accountants recommend that for organizations such as theirs
they should be able to have an insurance bond.
On a motion by Rowen, seconded by Ms . Lescarbeau, the Board voted
unanimously to allow Merrimack College to issue a bond through
Reliance Insurance instead of a cash bond.

Continued:
Red Gate Pasture - definitive
Ben Osgood Jr. was present to represent Red Gate Pasture. Mr.
Mahoney stated that the only issues from the site walk were
drainage issues . Mr. Mahoney stated that the contour of the
property was not as bas as he thought.
Mr. Rowen stated that he was concerned with the ponds on the hill
and is also concerned about the drainage. Mr. Rowen stated that
the water leaves by Mr. Cyr' s property then goes across Salem
Street and into a ditch and then into Mosquito Brook. Mr. Rowen
stated that the first plan had the pond on the street and it
could be built up.
Mr. Osgood stated that he could berm an area to hold more water.
Mr. Mahoney asked what it was to berm. Mr. Osgood stated that a
burm was a narrow ledge along a slope.
Mr. Mahoney stated that the property at the bottom of Foxwood has
no yard because of the detention pond and Mr. Mahoney stated that
he does not want to see another pond on Salem Street.
Mr. Osgood explained the different effects of having the berms .
Mr. Osgood stated that he is trying to set up a meeting with John
Chessia, Towns Outside Consultant, for Monday some time .
Mr. Osgood stated that a berm would keep sheath flow off of the
Cyr' s property.
Mr. Rowen stated that by having detention ponds on the owners
property makes them to be responsible for maintaining them and
does not feel that it is a good idea.
Mr. Scott stated that if the residents want to put a deck on they
would have to go before the Board because you can't cut into the
slope .
Mr. Nardella asked if Mr. Osgood could try to move the houses
around.
Mr. Osgood stated that they are proposing sub-drains at the top
of the slope.
Mr. Scott stated that they' re concerned about the upper basin and
the pipe on the bottom of the hill .

plan review was denied due to the fact you need 4 votes .

8. Exhibit H: Town of North Andover Performance Bond Agreement
The Applicant submitted a plan prepared by Merrimack Engineering Services, Inc., dated April 17, 2001
to the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals with the submission of the Comprehensive Permit
Application. The North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals circulated the plan for review to the North
Andover Police Department, the North Andover Fire Department, the North Andover Conservation
Commission, the North Andover Board of Health, the North Andover Planning Board, and the North
Andover Department of Public Works. Partly as a result of comments and recommendations made by
Page -2-
these Boards, the Applicant submitted a revised plan dated July 3, 2001 to the North Andover Zoning
Board of Appeals. After subsequent review by the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals, the Applicant
submitted a second revised plan to the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals on September 12, 2001,
which is the final plan the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals reviewed for the Comprehensive Permit
decision. There are no outstanding issues raised by any Town Boards. All issues have been addressed
by the Applicant.
Prior to the close of the public hearing on September 18, 2001, the North Andover Zoning Board of
Appeals also received and considered the following written communications:
10. Letter from Peggy Walsh, resident of Heritage Green Condominium, dated June 4, 2001;
11. Correspondence from Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc., consultants for the North Andover
Zoning Board of Appeals, dated July 6, 2001;
12. Letter from Elvira "Vera" Curcio, resident of Heritage Green Condominium, dated August
11, 2001;
13. Correspondence from Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc., consultants for the North Andover
Zoning Board of Appeals, dated September 13, 2001;
14. Letter from Elvira "Vera" Curcio, resident of Heritage Green Condominium, dated
September 19, 2001.
In addition to the foregoing materials, the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals retained Vanasse
Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB)to provide a technical review of the Applicant's application,plans,and studies
and to present findings of this review to the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals in writing.This review
was paid for from funds received from the Applicant for this purpose. The Applicant has satisfactorily
addressed the issues raised by the consultant.
The premises and site affected are known as 200 Chickering Road, North Andover, Massachusetts and
are commonly known as the Rennie's Florist site. In 1998, the Owner submitted a Special Permit
Application to the North Andover Planning Board for the approval of a 24,055 square foot office and retail
complex.Although approved on September 3, 1998,this project was never constructed.On April 19,2001,
the Applicant submitted a Comprehensive Permit application to the North Andover Zoning Board of
Page -3-
Appeals.The site consists of 6.33 acres of land and 346.27 feet of frontage,a single family house,a florist
shop,and greenhouse.The site is served by municipal water and sewer,and natural gas.All of the existing
structures are to be demolished.The Applicant proposed to construct 132 units of multi-family housing in
six wood frame buildings, three stories in height; 25% or thirty-three (33) units were to be set aside as
"affordable". In addition, a community building or clubhouse was proposed, and 180 surface parking
spaces. Trash storage and removal as proposed consisted of three dumpsters, ten cubic yards in size.
The site itself is irregular in shape. Wetlands are found on the site; wetland issues will be addressed by
the Conservation Commission when the Applicant submits a notice of intent.
The parcel of land which is the subject of the Comprehensive Permit application is owned by Dorothy J.
Rennie, Individually and Trustee and Carol Ryan Rennie, Trustee of Old Town Village Realty Trust. The
Applicant is Terra Properties,,LLC. The Applicant has submitted evidence of site control to the North
Andover Zoning Board of Appeals as required.The parcel of land is recorded at the Essex North Registry
of Deeds in Book 798 Page 49; Book 826 Page 23; Book 5598 Page 98;the Plan reference is Plan 13434.
It is also identified as Assessor's Map 46 Lots 35 and 46.The site is located in Zoning Districts Residential
4(R-4), Residential 5(R-5),and Business 1 (B-1).The FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map#250098-0003-C
dated June 2, 1993 indicates that the parcel is located in Zone X.
The Applicant originally proposed access to the rear section of the site through Wood Lane,a paper street.
Wood Lane was created by a vote of Town Meeting in 1909; in 1931 a portion of Wood Lane was
discontinued as a town way at Town Meeting. The Applicant contended that the discontinued portion of
Wood Lane is not the portion which runs along the site's South/Southwest boundary,and designed access
to the rear portion of their site over Wood Lane. However, an abutter, the Trustees of Reservations,
disagreed and objected to the Applicant's right to use Wood Lane for access to the rear portion of the site.
During the course of the hearing on the Application,the Applicant and the Trustees agreed that Applicant
would abandon its claim to use Wood Lane for access in exchange for approximately 5,000 square feet
of land owned by the Trustees which would allow the Applicant to connect the front and rear sections of
the site without creating a second driveway access from Chickering Road over Wood Lane. The North
Andover Zoning Board of Appeals agrees that this is a better solution to the problem of access since it
eliminates disagreement about the legality of crossing Wood Lane and reduces wetland impact. Evidence
of the Agreement between the Applicant and the Trustees of Reservations was presented to the North
Andover Zoning Board of Appeals for review (Exhibit D).
Page -4-
Prior to the submission of the Comprehensive Permit application, the Applicant applied to the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Boston's New England Fund for a project eligibility letter through the Warren Bank,
a participating lender with an office in Beverly, Massachusetts.Warren Bank reviewed the Application and
issued a Project Eligibility Letter to the Applicant on March 29, 2001. As a result of the decision by the
Massachusetts Housing Appeals Committee in Stuborn Ltd. Partnership v. Barnstable Bd. ofAppeals, No.
98-01 (Decision March 5, 1999),the New England Fundwas added to the list of eligible housing programs.
No other subsidy programs have been proposed by the Applicant.
During the course of the public hearing and as a result of the agreement with the Trustees of Reservations,
an abutter, to eliminate the need for an access drive crossing Wood Lane, the Applicant redesigned the
site. The final plan presented to the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals showed the number of
buildings reduced from six to four; the number of units decreased from 132 to 126; and the number of
parking spaces increased from 180 to 202, an increase in the parking ratio of 1.36 of spaces per unit to
1.6 parking spaces per unit. In addition,the number of trash dumpsters,which had been decreased to two,
was increased to three, ten cubic yards in size. In response to concerns from the North Andover Zoning
Board of Appeals regarding trash pickup, the Applicant has agreed to provide a trash compactor in each
unit as well as a garbage disposal.
During the course of the public hearing,the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals also heard testimony
from the Heritage Green Condominium Association, an abutter, and various condominium unit owners at
Heritage Green Condominium,also abutters,who objected to the use of Farrwood Avenue,a private road,
for the purpose of accessing underground utilities.The Applicant has redesigned the plan to eliminate the
use of Farrwood Avenue and the final plan shows the connections to utilities in Chickering Road only, a
public way.Another issue brought up by these abutters concerned flooding of the Heritage Green property.
As designed by the applicant and reviewed by the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals' technical
consultant, VHB, no increase in peak rate of runoff water will be directed off-site, but will be detained on
site in either surface detention basins or underground recharge chambers.
The Heritage Green abutters also brought the issue of a buffer between the Kittredge Crossing property
and the Heritage Green property. The Applicant has proposed both a fence and a vegetative buffer to be
created along the property line in the vicinity of Farrwood Avenue, as shown on the final plan.
In addition,various abutters questioned the financial impact of the proposed project on the Town of North
Andover, specifically with respect to the impact on the public school system. The Applicant submitted a
Fiscal Impact Analysis and a Revised Fiscal Impact Analysis(Exhibit C)prepared using a model developed
Page -5-
by the Natural Resources Defense Council called Developments and Dollars -an Introduction to Fiscal
Impact Analysis in Land Use Planning, principally authored by Michael L. Siegel of Public and
Environmental Finance Associates. The original Fiscal Impact Analysis assumed eleven children would
live at Kittredge Crossing. In response to questions and comments from the North Andover Zoning Board
of Appeals, the Applicant revised the Analysis to show the impact of up to three times the number of
children. Both the original and revised Analyses showed a positive fiscal impact to the Town,with a break
even point in excess of 52 children.
The Applicant proposed the Citizens' Housing and Planning Association (CHAPA), as the agency to
monitor the resale of the affordable units. The North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals asked what the
options were for such agencies and was told that the choices are a non-profit housing advocacy agency
like CHAPA,the local housing authority,or a regional housing authority.The Applicant indicated that there
was a conflict of interest in choosing the local housing authority and that CHAPA was the preferred agency.
The Applicant has agreed with CHAPA for these services and will sign a contract with them to this effect.

Mr. Rowen read the legal notice to open the public hearings.
Peter Shaheen was present representing Scott Companies for Old Town Village a 16,900 square
foot retail subdivision. The property is located off of Rt. 125 (Rennes Florist) on 18 acres of
land. Some of the types of businesses that have approached the applicant have been a hairdresser,
Mailboxes Etc., and a travel agency. Mark Gross is the site engineer, he stated that there is no
residential property involved. The property is zoned B-1 surrounded by R-5, R-4 and R-3
residential zonings. Rennies Florist will still occupy one unit, it will be the in the front of the

will eliminate the driveway access adjacent to Farrwood Drive. The Technical Review Committee
CONSERVATION 688-9530 HEALTH 688-9540 PLANNING 688-9535
Mr. Rowen asked if the road were widened at this point would the cars then go faster. Mr. Hajec
stated probably yes, but it can't be said until it's done.
Elvira Curcio, of 23 Edgelawn Drive, stated that Officer Soucy stated that this a State road and
was wondering why there_has not been a State Police Officer attend a meeting to address the
traffic.
Mark Johnson, representing Heritage Green Condominiums, is concerned with the traffic plan.
He questioned what would happen if you did not allow the passing on the right. Mr. Rowen
stated that cars would queue up.
Mr. Rowen stated that given the fact that the two traffic consultants and the State have approved
the traffic plan he would not require a center turn lane.
Mr. Gross spoke with the town's engineering consultant and stated that the most significant issue
is with the down stream area. They plan to do a perk test. Mr. Rowen asked if they will have
enough time to get the results in by the next meeting.
Mr. Rowen stated that we will put them on the agenda for the next meeting but if they don't get
the results back in time we'll take them off.
Mr. Nardella stated that he is looking for them to bring something back to the Board on a
proposal for roadway improvement. Mr. Shaheen stated that the applicant is willing to do what
ever anyone else is willing to do.
Tom Neve, of Neve Associates, is working with the condominium association stated that his
major issue is with the site drainage. He would like them to test every layer that exists and test in
at least in 4 different areas. Mr. Neve's other concern is the maintenance of the sub-surface
system.
Mr. Gross stated that the maintenance for these systems could be put in the decisions.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on April 15, 1997. The following
members were present: Joseph Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen,Vice Chairman, Alberto
Angles, Associate Member and Richard Nardella. Kathleen Bradley Colwell, Town Planner was
also present.

The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on May 20, 1997. The following
members were present: Joseph Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison
Lescarbeau, Clerk, Alberto Angles, Associate Member John Simons and Richard Nardella.
William Scott, Director of Community Development.
requested that compact car spaces be dispersed around the site, not clustered in one area and to
disperse handicap parking spaces. Fire access will be provided around the building. There are no
large delivery trucks anticipated. The elevation of the building will be broken up horizontally and
vertically. There were concerns about storm water management and the catch basins and whether
or not the drainage can be off site. The sewage will be pumped up to Rt. 125. The lighting will
be 12' poles with down cast boxes, and low level pedestrian lights. Safety lights at the rear will
be downcast over the doors. They produced a cross section of the site. The roof line will create
a false facade with roof top units hidden inside to buffer noise. An RDA was filed with ConCom
however the applicant requested a continuance in order to produce soil testing to the ConCom.
An ENF was filed with the state. A traffic study has been prepared. Town will hire an outside
consultant to review.
Mr. Simons asked why not orient the building towards Farrwood Drive.
Rayner Cooke the architect, stated that the reason why they faced the orientation the way they did
is because the sun faced the three sided greenhouse, also it was the best fit for the shape of the lot.
Mr. Simons stated that he would like it to be oriented towards Farrwood, for example a gate or
fence at the west end for pedestrian's to walk through to get to the shops.
Mr. Gross stated that they are going to screen the site from the neighbors to make it as least
intrusive as possible and consider pedestrian access if so desired.
Mr. Rowen was concerned about where the drainage will go.
Mr. Gross stated that the natural flow is towards Farrwood, but the plan channels the water to the
opposite side of the lot.
Ms. Colwell asked how they have designed the drainage.
Mr. Gross stated that there is an underground system currently proposed, but is more expensive
and is of high maintenance.
Mr. Mahoney question what kind of materials they are planning to use.
Mr. Cooke stated that they are going to use clapboard siding and brick with colonial style store
fronts and wood doors. They will have carved wood signs with outside lights. There will be
roofscape with dormers and windows to make a village theme.
Mr. Rowen asked about the slope of the gables and commented that steep roofs are preferred.
Mr. Simons is also concerned with the slope of the roof.
Ms. Colwell suggests that they take a look at the slope of the roof at Osco Drug and check plans
vs. actual.
Mr. Dermot J. Kelly of Kelly& Associates, Inc. reviewed the traffic study. The counts that were
done at the entrance of Farrwood and on Rt.114 estimated that 23,000 cars per day during the
week pass the site. These studies were conducted during the hours of 7:00 a.m. till 9:00 p.m. and
on Saturday during the hours of 11:00 a.m. till 2:00 p.m. there were 17,000 cars. At the peak
hours 1600 cars passed in the a.m. 1900 cars passed in the p.m. Saturday's peak hours showed
1300 cars passing. Some traffic growth needs to be assumed. There is only a 16' lane for
entering traffic. There should be no planting on the site entrance and, there should also be stop
signs at each exit.
Mr. Mahoney asked about how much more traffic is going to be generated with the project.
Joe Bolen, 27 Farrwood Avenue is concerned about the traffic volume in the a.m. and p.m.
Peggy Walsh, 27 Farrwood Avenue is concerned about the traffic when she is trying to take a left
turn in the a.m. out of Farrwood, she is also is concerned about the dumpsite pickup and snow
removal.
Hillary Cannor, 98 Edgelawn Drive#7, is concerned about the orientation of the building and the
ability to rent the units at the end and is concerned about customers missing the entrance and
turning around on Farrwood Drive.
Mr. Cooke stated that not all retail tenants require visibility from the road.
Mr. Gross explained that no one would be able to see the building if it were oriented towards
Farrwood Drive.
Mark Johnson, representing the Condominium Association, is concerned about the traffic and
believes it should be revised with new entrances. Mr. Johnson also had concerns about the level
of service increases in the future with the level of traffic. He also expressed some concern about
the orientation of the building, and thought that the building should face Rt. 125 with a smaller
project.
Vera Curcio, 23 Edgelawn Drive, brought to the Boards attention that there was a denial for a
building on the site of Rennies in the past, based on the problems with the traffic and stated that
she will look into that more fully. Ms. Curcio also stated that she has checked with the State
Department of Public Works and says they have received no information on this project. Ms.
Curcio is against this project and feels that it will lower her property value and bring more
problems to the adjacent properties. Ms. Curcio also stated that she was not informed about the
meeting until a few days before.
Jeff Cannor, 98 Edgelawn Drive, expressed some concern about the sign that would be placed in
the front of the project.
Mr. Gross stated that they would like to have an identifying sign at the entrance and will have a
facade sign. They will be submitting a plan of the sign.
Jim McCarthy, an abutter was concerned about the hours of operation.
Mr. Bolero, was concerned about how long will the construction time be in affect.
Mr. Gross stated that the approximate time on the construction would be about 4 months.
Ms. Curcio submitted a letter to the Planning Board outlining her concerns. The letter will be
placed in the Planning Board files.

The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on February 4, 1997. The following
members were present: Joseph V. Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison
Lescarbeau, Clerk, Richard Nardella and John Simons. Kathleen Bradley Colwell, Town Planner
was also present.
Mark Gross of MHF Design, was present to discuss the traffic study. Mr. Gross stated that they
have filed an Environmental Notification Form. Mr. Gross has spoken to Mass. DEP.and Mass.
DPW and they stated that they are free to go ahead and file for curb cut permit. Dermot Kelley,
President of DJK Associates was present to give an overview of the traffic study. Mr. Kelley
showed a plan with a single access as far away as possible from Farrwood Ave. A stop line and a
stop sign will be installed at the exit onto Rt. 125. Mr. Kelley stated that he has requested data
from the state regarding the number of accidents but has not received it yet.
Mr. Nardella stated that his major concern is the number of accidents that could occur. Mr.
Kelley stated they cannot determine the number of accidents. Mr. Mahoney asked if they could
get data from the Town's Police Department on the number of accidents that have occurred on
Farrwood entering and exiting.
Mr. Nardella asked what the distance is from center line of the access drive to the center line at
Farwood. Mr. Kelley stated 250'.
Mr. Kelley stated that Ms. Colwell,Mr. Hajec and himself went out to Chickering Road to
observe the traffic flow. Mr. Kelley stated that the traffic flows in cycles every 70 seconds. They
observed that the traffic flows from one direction for 30 seconds and from the other direction for
40-50 seconds. For 20-30 seconds the traffic is lessened. So people who are exiting and entering
Farrwood have 30-35 seconds of no traffic and for 45 cars turning onto Farrwood there was no
queuing.
Mr. Nardella asked the number of cars that could que up out of 200 Chickering Road. Mr. Kelley
stated that 3 could.
Paul Hajec, President of Hajec Associates, the town's traffic consultant was present to explain
what he has observed. Mr. Hajec stated that everything that Mr. Kelley has said is correct. Mr.
Hajec stated that they did not observed more than 2 cars at a time queuing. There could be some
traffic problems when Rt. 495 is blocked up and people use this as an alternative route however
that is a rare occurrence and is not one that the applicant should be expected to fix.
Ms. Lescarbeau asked what would happen if there was a car turning into the plaza and there was
a car behind them that is turning into Farrwood. Mr. Hajec stated that they could use the
shoulder of the road. It is a paved road and the shoulder is 8'to 10' wide.
Mr. Hajec stated a traffic light would have to be approved by the state and Mr. Hajec thought that
would be very unlikely. The traffic lights would make unnecessary delays and more accidents
usually occur when there is a traffic light.
Dave Johns of 209 Chickering Road, stated that it is difficult to take a left hand turn out of his
driveway and that people walk on the shoulder therefore it is very hard to pass in the shoulder.
Lisa Neukuckatz of 68 Fernview Ave. stated that her children walk on Chickering Road to and
from school and believes itis dangerous if people use the shoulder to pass.
Joseph Balliro of 27 Farrwood Ave. stated that he is a criminal defense lawyer and thinks it is not
a legitimate point to use the shoulder. It may be legal but it is not safe.
Peggy Walsh of 27 Farrwood stated too many things are happening(too many other
driveways)within the 250' of road.
Mr. Nardella asked as residents if they had any ideas to make the flow better. Mr. Balliro stated
that they should put in a dedicated turn lane and possibly a yellow blinking light.
Jim McCarthy stated that during the 20-30 second delay if there is somebody coming out of the
99 Restaurant or Bulgers Animal Hospital then the delay is shortened.
Mark Johnson who represents Heritage Green Estates asked that there should be no heavy trucks
on the site and questioned the level of service. Is E or D?
Mr. Gross responded by saying that they are not planning to have any trailer trucks on the
property just box trucks and are willing to put that in the decision as a condition.
Mr. Johnson stated that level D represents a condition with long delays to minor street traffic.
The levels go from A-F and A being the least amount of delays and F being the longest.
Chickering Road and Farrwood currently operates at a level of service at C or better. Under 2001
Build weekday evening peak hour conditions the service will decrease to Level D.
Mr. Balliro asked why the exit could not be changed to the back of the property. Mr. Gross
stated that access to commercial property has to be through commercial property and cannot be
through residential property.
Ms. Curcio, 23 Edgelawn Ave. questioned the zoning for the site. Ms. Colwell stated that the site
is zoned B-1 for business but is surrounded by residential property. Ms. Colwell suggested that
Ms. Curcio come into the Planning Office to look at the zoning map. If she had additional
questions she can review the zoning with the Zoning Code Enforcement Officer.
Continued the public hearing until the March 4, 1997 meeting.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on March 4, 1997. The following
members were present: Joseph V. Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison
Lescarbeau, Clerk, Alberto Angles, Associate Member and John Simons. Kathleen Bradley
Colwell, Town Planner was also present.
Atty. Peter Shaheen was present representing 200 Chickering Road. Mark Gross, MHT Design
Inc. the site engineer stated that the Conservation Commission has also requested review of the
drainage from John Chessia, the Town's consultant therefore he will respond to both the Planning
and Conservation drainage issues at the same time.
Dermit Kelley of DJK Association conducted traffic counts while Merrimack College was in
session as requested by the Town's traffic consultant and the counts were less than the original
ones. Mr. Kelley stated that he received a copy of all the accidents that occurred in North
Andover from Mass. Highway and none have occurred on Farrwood. Mr. Kelley stated that in his
opinion a left turn lane is not required. He is concerned about widening the shoulder as that may
cause traffic to travel faster along Rt. 125. Mr. Kelley stated that while Ms. Colwell, Mr. Hajec
and himself went out to the site people were turning into Farrwood and passed on the left hand
side.
Sgt. Fred Soucy of the North Andover Police Dept., stated that a middle turn lane would benefit
the Town but it would have to go from Rennies to Mass. Ave. Possibly the costs could be borne
by all property owners along that stretch of roadway. He is not in favor of widening the shoulder.
If a middle turn lane is not constructed the roadway should remain as. If there are two vehicles
and one went to pass on the right there would be adequate space to pass.
Joseph Balliro, of 27 Farrwood Drive, asked if that was legal to pass on the breakdown lane. Mr.
Soucy stated that they need to determine if it is a breakdown lane.
Lisa Neukuckatz, of 68 Farrwood Drive, stated that people will start to pass on both sides of the
street and make it a 4 way street and what about the pedestrians that are walking. Mr. Soucy
stated that there is a sidewalk for the pedestrians.
Carol Rennie, owner, stated that there has never been an accident in front of Rennes. Ms.
Lescarbeau stated that there was just one store there now however with this complex there will be
more.
Atty. Peter Shaheen stated that Mass. Highway has jurisdiction over Rt. 125 and the plans have
been submitted for their approval.
P.J. Piantadosi stated that these people live off of a state highway what do they expect. He would
like to see a mall come into this town instead of going over Andover to spend his money.
Ms. Curcio, of Farrwood Drive, stated that once the mall goes in the accidents will start to occur
just like they did when Osco Drug went in on Rt. 114. She stated that 9 accidents have occurred.
Jim McCarthy, Heritage Green property manager, stated that he does not want to see Rt. 125 turn
into a Rt. 28 in Salem, NH.
Carol Rennie stated that the mall would be a benefit to the town and it will have a country
atmosphere.
P.J. Piantadosi stated that the Rennes have lived in this town their whole life and they are not
planning on putting up the mall and leaving town.
Mark Gross, site engineer, stated that there would be 4 underground systems designed to store a
100 yr. Storm. Mr. Gross stated that they have been before ConCom and they have asked John
Chessia to look over the drainage because they will be discussing that with ConCom.
Mr. Mahoney asked where the runoff would go. Mr. Gross stated that it would go into the
wetlands on the Rennies property.
Ms. Colwell stated that the building inspector had concerns with the proposed drainage structures
off site and suggested that the applicant check with him regarding this issue. Mr. Gross stated
that all the runoff goes through the infiltration.
Mr. Mahoney asked what would happen if the sumps overflow. Mr. Gross stated that the property
owner is supposed to maintain the system and keep it cleaned out. If it is not, silt will build up
and go through the pipe and to the infiltration system and eventually be carried down the system.
Mr. Rowen asked if something can be done to prevent this from happening. Mr. Gross stated that
a hood structure will be placed over the pipes to prevent garbage and silt from getting through.
Atty. Mark Johnson, representing Heritage Green, asked if the drainage that is going into the
wetlands is on residential property. Mr. Gross stated yes. Mr. Johnson stated that he asked John
Morin, of Neve Associated to look over the proposed drainage and he would like to be put on the
cc: list when there is information on the drainage for this property.
Mr. Mahoney asked what the building looked like in elevation, lighting and landscaping. Mr.
Gross stated that the original plan had all compact parking spaces together now they have them
spread out throughout the parking lot. The lighting along the parking lot on the opposite side of
Farrwood will have 12' high lighting standards that cast light down on the lot. They will have
landscaping with a stockade fence 5'high along Farrwood. There will also be a picket fence along
the front of the property. The signage will be reviewed by the building inspector.
Mr. Gross stated that the HVC units will be located on the top of the Rennies building in a pocket
to reduce the noise. Helene Wilder,of Farrwood Drive, asked what side of the building will be
facing Farrwood with the lighting issues and what about delivery times. Mr. Gross stated that the
back of the building would be facing Farrwood and the only lights that would be on the back
would be emergency lights on the back doors facing down to the door for security purposes.
There are no late night or early morning deliveries.
Ms. Colwell stated that there would be restriction on the delivery times written in the decision.
Mr. Shaheen stated that he would like to end this at the next meeting. They have designed the
building to be safe and the traffic has been approved by the Mass. State Highway.
Joe Balliro, of 27 Farrwood Drive, asked if there was going to be any security with the overnight
parking.
Mark Johnson asked if there was going to be a buffer of trees where the fence is going to be.
Mark Johnson also asked if there are going to be any trees coming down and if the area is going
to be graded.
Joe Balliro asked if there is going to be any restrictions on the construction hours. Ms. Colwell
stated that the Police Department would be in charge of that.
Continued until April 1, 1997.
The public hearing was continued until April 8, 1997 due to a snow storm.

Peter Shaheen of MHF Design was present on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Shaheen is requesting a
conditional Site Plan approval. Mr. Shaheen stated that the only thing that remains to be done is a
perk test, which will be done on Friday. Ms. Colwell stated that there are other outstanding
issues. John Chessia, the Town's engineering consultant, received the revised drainage last
Wednesday and needs 2 weeks to review them.
Mr. Rowen stated that not everything has been finalized. There are some issues that can be
resolved like the building, lighting and landscaping. Mr. Rowen stated he would like to wrap up
the traffic issue tonight.
Mr. Nardella asked what the number of parking spaces were there. Mark Gross, of MHF Design,
stated that they have moved the compact spaces around. The required size of the spaces are to be
84" and they are giving them 86 '/2.
Mr. Shaheen stated that there will be no restaurant put in the plaza.
Mr. Nardella asked if the dumpster was going to be enclosed with a gate. Mr. Gross stated that it
would be. Ms. Lescarbeau asked if it was a compactor or a dumpster. Mr. Gross stated that it
was going to be a dumpster.
Ms. Lescarbeau asked how many units are there in the building. Mr. Gross stated that there are a
total of 9 but some can be combined.
Dermit Kelley, of DJK Associates,stated that the size of the road is 36' wide. Mr. Kelley stated
that the shoulder is 5'-6' wide.
Mr. Lescarbeau stated that even though you can't be cited for using the shoulder she is not going
to approve a plan which requires passing in the shoulder.
Mr. Nardella stated that the road is not going to be lined for the use of the shoulder.
Atty. Shaheen stated that Officer Soucy stated that it was not illegal to use the shoulder.
Mr. Nardella asked what is the objection to spending a little money and put the road wider and
put the stripes on the road.
Paul Hajec, the Town's Traffic Consultant, stated that he agrees with the applicant's traffic
consultant and with the state highway department that a turning lane is not warranted for this
project. However, in the future, if there is increased development along Rt. 125, a turning lane
may be warranted along this stretch of RT. 125.
Y g
Mark Gross of MHF Design and Peter Shaheen were present. Mr. Scott stated that they did tests
on Monday and the water tables were higher and they addressed the issues and sent them to John
Chessia and he had no major issues.
Mr. Gross stated that he could design a system on a 7 inch water table.
Mr. Rowen stated that at the last meeting the attorney for Heritage Estates had brought up some
issues at the last meeting and wanted to know if they have been addressed. Mr. Scott stated that
they did additional testing.
Mr. Rowen asked if they are planning on having a maintenance plan to include in the decision.
Mr. Gross stated that there are 6 pages in the drainage report for maintenance. Mr. Gross stated
that on site litter would be picked up weekly, sediment and underground tanks will be inspected
monthly and the water swale will be inspected twice a year.
The Board would like to have a maintenance plan put in the decision.
Mr. Shaheen stated that he thought we addressed these issues at the last meeting and both traffic
consultants agreed.
Mr. Nardella asked if we had anything from Sgt. Soucy. Ms. Lescarbeau stated that there is a
letter in our packets that states that you should not cross over the white line.
Mr. Shaheen stated that it is a line to show that the width of the road is almost at an end. Ms.
Lescarbeau stated that you are trying to make a bad situation worse by using the sides of the road.
Why don't you just widen the road.
Mr. Shaheen stated that at the last meeting we suggested that an inexpensive way to improve the
road would be to add a patch of pavement to the side of the road so people could use it. Mr.
Shaheen believes that if it is widened people might not slow down but, speed up and also they are
not allowed to widen the road without the state to say it was O.K.
Mr. Nardella stated that we a legitimate difference of opinion on that.
W. Shaheen stated that the applicant meets all the requirements for site plan review so they
should get the approval.
Mr. Mahoney stated that Mr. Shaheen is right if they meet all requirements we cannot deny them.
Mr. Nardella stated that he is not opposed for them to start construction and then widening the
road.
Mr. Nardella stated that when it snows and the plows are pushing the snow and it covers that side
of the road how are the people then going to pass.
Mr. Rowen stated that we have had 3 traffic people say that the road should not be widened and
that people would speed up if it was widened and that's not what we want.
Mr. Mahoney stated that he agrees.
Mr. Shaheen stated that the applicant might contribute to the cost of the road. MrShaheen
stated that we are willing to do extra to get the approval.
Jim Mcartney stated that the City of Haverhill has approved to widen Rt. 125 and they don't have
a concern with speeding. Mr. Mcartney also state that he would like the North Andover Police
Department to write a letter stating that it is legal for people to pass over the white line. Also he
would like it put in the decision that if the owner of the mall goes belly up that someone has to
maintain the drainage system.
Mr. Nardella stated that there will be a bond to ensure that you would be protected.
Mark Johnson, representing Heritage Estates, disagrees with Mr. Mahoney. In section 8.3 1A,
the purpose of it is to protect the health and safety of the residents and people. This is a site
which has a building as big as you can get on the site. The drainage is not easy to get to and if it
fails the Heritage Green people will be the only ones who will get hurt. The building is so big
they can't even put a detention pond on the site so it underneath. The traffic configuration is
not good for any of the residents. Mr. Johnson stated that his biggest concern is the statement
"we have met all requirements so you have to approve it".
Mr. Rowen stated that he shares concerns with the drainage but it would have been fool proof if
Heritage green tie into their sewer.
Jim Mcartney stated that in response to Mr. Rowen's comment, would you like it if someone used
access on your driveway., It is private property.
Mr. Rowen stated that my point was that they denied them to tie into the sewer so they will have
to live with what happens.
Elvira Curcio, 23 Edgelawn passed out packets to the Board members.
Mr. Shaheen stated that he is looking for them to accept the site plan review and close the public
hearing.
On a motion by Mr. Nardella, seconded by Mr.Bowen the Board voted 4-1 to close the public
hearing.
On a motion by Mr. Rowen, seconded by Mr. Angles, the Board voted 4-1 to direct staff to draft
a decision.
The Board agreed to set the bond for 200 Chickering Road for $25,000.
On a motion by Mr. Rowen, seconded by Mr. Mahoney the Board voted 3-2 to approve 200
Chickering Road site plan review, the site plan review was denied due to the fact you need 4
votes.
Mr. Nardella asked if the applicant would like to know why they denied it. Mr. Shaheen stated
that he thought the Public Hearing was closed. Mr. Nardella stated that the applicant should
come back to resolve the issues of public safety and traffic issues. Mr. Nardella stated that there
is an open door for further reconsideration.
Ms. Lescarbeau stated that she does not concur with items 1&3 of the decision. Ms. Lescarbeau
stated that it that it is not an appropriate location, the building is not appropriate and it is a safety
hazard to the town and area. Ms. Lescarbeau stated that she does not feel that she can be
persuaded.
Mr. Shaheen stated that if it meets the bylaws then the permit must be granted, that's what the
law says.
Mr. Mahoney stated that they have followed the laws and statute. Mr. Mahoney feels that we
have no right not to grant this. In his view the applicant has done everything they were supposed
to do.
Attached are the conditions.
Sincerely,

Re: Special Permit/Site Plan Review 200 Chickering Road
Dear Ms. Bradshaw:
The North Andover Planning Board held a public hearing on Tuesday evening, December 3, 1996
at 7:30 p.m. in the Senior Center behind the Town Building, on the application of Scott
Companies, 12 Rogers Road, Haverhill, MA 01835 for a special permit under Section 8.3 (Site
Plan Review) of the North Andover Zoning`Bylaw . The legal notice was properly advertised in
the North Andover Citizen on November 13 and November 20, 1996 and all parties of interest
were duly notified. The following members were present:Joseph V. Mahoney, Chairman,
Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman Alison Lescarbeau, Clerk, John Simons and Alberto Angles,
Associate Member. Kathleen Bradley Colwell,Town Planner was also absent.
The petitioner was requesting a special permit to allow to allow the construction of a concrete
masonry &wood. One(1) story 16,900 SF building for commercial use located at 200 Chickering
Road, North Andover, MA 01845 in the Business -1 (B-1)Zoning District.
Mr. Rowen read the legal notice to open the public hearings.
Peter Shaheen was present representing Scott Companies for Old Town Village a 16,900 square
foot retail subdivision. The property is located off of Rt. 125 (Rennes Florist) on 18 acres of
land. Some of the types of businesses that have approached the applicant have been a hairdresser,
Mailboxes Etc., and a travel agency. Mark Gross is the site engineer, he stated that there is no
residential property involved. The property is zoned B-1 surrounded by R-5,R-4 and R-3
residential zonings. Rennes Florist will still occupy one unit, it will be the in the front of the
building. There will be approximately nine units ranging from 2,000 to 1,000 SF in size. There
will be a green pedestrian area in the front provided with landscaping. The existing vegetation in
the rear of the building will be maintained to be supplemented with a 5' fence and landscaping to
buffer the residential area.
The original plan was to have two entrances and exits with one close to Farrwood. A revised plan
will eliminate the driveway access adjacent to Farrwood Drive. The Technical Review Committee
CONSERVATION 688-9530 HEALTH 688-9540 PLANNING 688-9535
Mr. Rowen asked if the road were widened at this point would the cars then go faster. Mr. Hajec
stated probably yes, but it can't be said until it's done.
Elvira Curcio, of 23 Edgelawn Drive, stated that Officer Soucy stated that this a State road and
was wondering why there has not been a State Police Officer attend a meeting to address the
traffic.
Mark Johnson, representing Heritage Green Condominiums, is concerned with the traffic plan.
He questioned what would happen if you did not allow the passing on the right. Mr. Rowen
stated that cars would queue up.
Mr. Rowen stated that given the fact that the two traffic consultants and the State have approved
the traffic plan he would not require a center turn lane.
Mr. Gross spoke with the town's engineering consultant and stated that the most significant issue
is with the down stream area. They plan to do a perk test. Mr. Rowen asked if they will have
enough time to get the results in by the next meeting.
Mr. Rowen stated that we will put them on the agenda for the next meeting but if they don't get
the results back in time we'll take them off.
Mr. Nardella stated that he is looking for them to bring something back to the Board on a
proposal for roadway improvement. Mr. Shaheen stated that the applicant is willing to do what
ever anyone else is willing to do.
Tom Neve, of Neve Associates, is working with the condominium association stated that his
major issue is with the site drainage. He would like them to test every layer that exists and test in
at least in 4 different areas. Mr. Neve's other concern is the maintenance of the sub-surface
system.
Mr. Gross stated that the maintenance for these systems could be put in the decisions.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on April 15, 1997. The following
members were present: Joseph Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alberto
Angles, Associate Member and Richard Nardella. Kathleen Bradley Colwell, Town Planner was
also present.
MHF Design requested a continuance until May 20, 1997 in order to complete the required soil
tests as required by Coler& Colantonio in their last correspondence.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on May 20, 1497. The following
members were present: Joseph Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice-Chairman, Alison
Lescarbeau, Clerk, Alberto Angles, Associate Member John Simons and Richard Nardella.
William Scott, Director of Community Development.
requested that compact car spaces be dispersed around the site, not clustered in one area and to
disperse handicap parking spaces. Fire access will be provided around the building. There are no
large delivery trucks anticipated. The elevation of the building will be broken up horizontally and
vertically. There were concerns about storm water management and the catch basins and whether
or not the drainage can be off site. The sewage will be pumped up to Rt. 125. The lighting will
be 12' poles with down cast boxes, and low level pedestrian fights. Safety lights at the rear will
be downcast over the doors. They produced a cross section of the site. The roof line will create
a false facade with roof top units hidden inside to buffer noise. An RDA was filed with ConCom
however the applicant requested a continuance in order to produce soil testing to the ConCom.
An ENF was filed with the state. A traffic study has been prepared. Town will hire an outside
consultant to review.
Mr. Simons asked why not orient the building towards Farrwood Drive.
Rayner Cooke the architect, stated that the reason why they faced the orientation the way they did
is because the sun faced the three sided greenhouse, also it was the best fit for the shape of the lot.
Mr. Simons stated that he would like it to be oriented towards Farrwood, for example a gate or
fence at the west end for pedestrian's to walk through to get to the shops.
Mr. Gross stated that they are going to screen the site from the neighbors to make it as least
intrusive as possible and consider pedestrian access if so desired.
Mr. Rowen was concerned about where the drainage will go.
Mr. Gross stated that the natural flow is towards Farrwood, but the plan channels the water to the
opposite side of the lot.
Ms. Colwell asked how they have designed the drainage.
Mr. Gross stated that there is an underground system currently proposed, but is more expensive
and is of high maintenance.
Mr. Mahoney question what kind of materials they are planning to use.
Mr. Cooke stated that they are going to use clapboard siding and brick with colonial style store
fronts and wood doors. They will have carved wood signs with outside fights. There will be
roofscape with dormers and windows to make a village theme.
Mr. Rowen asked about the slope of the gables and commented that steep roofs are preferred.
Mr. Simons is also concerned with the slope of the roof.
Ms. Colwell suggests that they take a look at the slope of the roof at Osco Drug and check plans
vs. actual.
Mr. Dermot J. Kelly of Kelly& Associates, Inc. reviewed the traffic study. The counts that were
done at the entrance of Farrwood and on Rt.114 estimated that 23,000 cars per day during the
week pass the site. These studies were conducted during the hours of 7:00 a.m. till 9:00 p.m. and
on Saturday during the hours of 11:00 a.m. till 2:00 p.m. there were 17,000 cars. At the peak
hours 1600 cars passed in the a.m. 1900 cars passed in the p.m. Saturday's peak hours showed
1300 cars passing. Some traffic growth needs to be assumed. There is only a 16' lane for
entering traffic. There should be no planting on the site entrance and, there should also be stop
signs at each exit.
Mr. Mahoney asked about how much more traffic is going to be generated with the project.
Joe Bolen, 27 Farrwood Avenue is concerned about the traffic volume in the a.m. and p.m.
Peggy Walsh, 27 Farrwood Avenue is concerned about the traffic when she is trying to take a left
turn in the a.m. out of Farrwood, she is also is concerned about the dumpsite pickup and snow
removal.
Hillary Cannor, 98 Edgelawn Drive#7, is concerned about the orientation of the building and the
ability to rent the units at the end and is concerned about customers missing the entrance and
turning around on Farrwood Drive.
Mr. Cooke stated that not all retail tenants require visibility from the road.
Mr. Gross explained that no one would be able to see the building if it were oriented towards
Farrwood Drive.
Mark Johnson, representing the Condominium Association, is concerned about the traffic and
believes it should be revised with new entrances. Mr. Johnson also had concerns about the level
of service increases in the future with the level of traffic. He also expressed some concern about
the orientation of the building, and thought that the building should face Rt. 125 with a smaller
project.
Vera Curcio, 23 Edgelawn Drive, brought to the Boards attention that there was a denial for a
building on the site of Rennies in the past, based on the problems with the traffic and stated that
she will look into that more fully. Ms. Curcio also stated that she has checked with the State
Department of Public Works and says they have received no information on this project. Ms.
Curcio is against this project and feels that it will lower her property value and bring more
problems to the adjacent properties. Ms. Curcio also stated that she was not informed about the
meeting until a few days before.
Jeff Cannor, 98 Edgelawn Drive, expressed some concern about the sign that would be placed in
the front of the project.
Mr. Gross stated that they would like to have an identifying sign at the entrance and will have a
facade sign. They will be submitting a plan of the sign.
Jim McCarthy, an abutter was concerned about the hours of operation.
Mr. Bolero, was concerned about how long will the construction time be in affect.
Mr. Gross stated that the approximate time on the construction would be about 4 months.
Ms. Curcio submitted a letter to the Planning Board outlining her concerns. The letter will be
placed in the Planning Board files.
The public hearing was continued to the December 17, 1996 meeting.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on December 17, 1996. The
following members were present: Joseph V. Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice

The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on February 4, 1997. The following
members were present: Joseph V. Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison
Lescarbeau, Clerk, Richard Nardella and John Simons. Kathleen Bradley Colwell, Town Planner
was also present.
Mark Gross of MHF Design, was present to discuss the traffic study. Mr. Gross stated that they
have filed an Environmental Notification Form. Mr. Gross has spoken to Mass. DEP.and Mass.
DPW and they stated that they are free to go ahead and file for curb cut permit. Dermot Kelley,
President of DJK Associates was present to give an overview of the traffic study. Mr. Kelley
showed a plan with a single access as far away as.possible from Farrwood Ave. A stop line and,a
stop sign will be installed at the exit onto Rt. 125. Mr. Kelley stated that he has requested data
from the state regarding the number of accidents but has not received it yet.
Mr. Nardella stated that his major concern is the number of accidents that could occur. Mr.
Kelley stated they cannot determine the number of accidents. Mr. Mahoney asked if they could
get data from the Town's Police Department on the number of accidents that have occurred on
Farrwood entering and exiting.
Mr. Nardella asked what the distance is-from center line of the access drive to the center line at
Farwood. Mr. Kelley stated 250'.
Mr. Kelley stated that Ms. Colwell, Mr. Hajec and himself went out to Chickering Road to
observe the traffic flow. Mr. Kelley stated that the traffic flows in cycles every 70 seconds. They
observed that the traffic flows from one direction for 30 seconds and from the other direction for
40-50 seconds. For 20-30 seconds the traffic is lessened. So people who are exiting and entering
Farrwood have 3 0-3 5 seconds of no traffic and for 45 cars turning onto Farrwood there was no
queuing. w
Mr. Nardella asked the number of cars that could que up out of 200 Chickering Road. Mr. Kelley
stated that 3 could.
Paul Hajec, President of Hajec Associates, the town's traffic consultant was present to explain
what he has observed. Mr. Hajec stated that everything that Mr. Kelley has said is correct. Mr.
Hajec stated that they did not observed more than 2 cars at a time queuing. There could be some
traffic problems when Rt. 495 is blocked up and people use this as an alternative route however
that is a rare occurrence and is not one that the applicant should be expected to fix.
Ms. Lescarbeau asked what would happen if there was a car turning into the plaza and there was
a car behind them that is turning into Farrwood. Mr. Hajec stated that they could use the
shoulder of the road. It is a paved road and the shoulder is 8'to 10'wide.
Mr. Hajec stated a traffic light would have to be approved by the state and Mr. Hajec thought that
would be very unlikely. The traffic lights would make unnecessary delays and more accidents
usually occur when there is a traffic light.
Dave Johns of 209 Chickering Road, stated that it is difficult to take a left hand turn out of his
driveway and that people walk on the shoulder therefore it is very hard to pass in the shoulder.
Lisa Neukuckatz of 68 Fernview Ave. stated that her children walk on Chickering Road to and
from school and believes it is dangerous if people use the shoulder to pass.
Joseph Balliro of 27 Farrwood Ave. stated that he is a criminal defense lawyer and thinks it is not
a legitimate point to use the shoulder. It may be legal but it is not safe.
Peggy Walsh of 27 Farrwood stated too many things are happening (too many other
driveways)within the 250' of road.
Mr. Nardella asked as residents if they had any ideas to make the flow better. Mr. Balliro stated
that they should put in a dedicated turn lane and possibly a yellow blinking light.
Jim McCarthy stated that during the 20-30 second delay if there is somebody coming out of the
99 Restaurant or Bulgers Animal Hospital then the delay is shortened.
Mark Johnson who represents Heritage Green Estates asked that there should be no heavy trucks
on the site and questioned the level of service. Is E or D?
Mr. Gross responded by saying that they are not planning to have any trailer trucks on the
property just box trucks and are willing to put that in the decision as a condition.
Mr. Johnson stated that level D represents a condition with long delays to minor street traffic.
The levels go from A-F and A being the least amount of delays and F being the longest.
Chickering Road and Farrwood currently operates at a level of service at C or better. Under 2001
Build weekday evening peak hour conditions the service will decrease to Level D.
Mr. Balliro asked why the exit could not be changed to the back of the property. Mr. Gross
stated that access to commercial property has to be through commercial property and cannot be
through residential property.
Ms. Curcio, 23 Edgelawn Ave. questioned the zoning for the site. Ms. Colwell stated that the site
is zoned B-1 for business but is surrounded by residential property. Ms. Colwell suggested that
Ms. Curcio come into the Planning Office to look at the zoning map. If she had additional
questions she can review the zoning with the Zoning Code Enforcement Officer.
Continued the public hearing until the March 4, 1997 meeting.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on March 4, 1997. The following
members were present: Joseph V. Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison
Lescarbeau, Clerk, Alberto Angles, Associate'Member and John Simons. Kathleen Bradley
Colwell, Town Planner was also present.
Atty. Peter Shaheen was present representing 200 Chickering Road. Mark Gross, MHF Design
Inc. the site engineer stated that the Conservation Commission has also requested review of the
drainage from John Chessia, the Town's consultant therefore he will respond to both the Planning
and Conservation drainage issues at the same time.
Dermit Kelley of DJK Association conducted traffic counts while Merrimack College was in
session as requested by the Town's traffic consultant and the counts were less than the original
ones. Mr. Kelley stated that he received a copy of all the accidents that occurred in North
Andover from Mass. Highway and none have occurred on Farrwood. Mr. Kelley stated that in his
opinion a left turn lane is not required. He is concerned about widening the shoulder as that may
cause traffic to travel faster along Rt. 125. Mr. Kelley stated that while Ms. Colwell, Mr. Hajec
and himself went out to the site people were turning into Farrwood and passed on the left hand
side.
Sgt. Fred Soucy of the North Andover Police Dept., stated that a middle turn lane would benefit
the Town but it would have to go from Rennes to Mass. Ave. Possibly the costs could be borne
by all property owners along that stretch of roadway. He is not in favor of widening the shoulder.
If a middle turn lane is notn
co structed the roadway should remain as. If there are two vehicles
s
and one went to pass on the right there would be adequate space to pass.
Joseph Balliro, of 27 Farrwood Drive, asked if that was legal to pass on the breakdown lane. Mr.
Soucy stated that they need to determine if it is a breakdown lane.
Lisa Neukuckatz, of 68 Fan-wood Drive, stated that people will start to pass on both sides of the
street and make it a 4 way street and what about the pedestrians that are walking. Mr. Soucy
stated that there is a sidewalk for the pedestrians.
Carol Rennie, owner, stated that there has never been an accident in front of Rennies. Ms.
Lescarbeau stated that there was just one store there now however with this complex there will be
more.
Atty. Peter Shaheen stated that Mass. Highway has jurisdiction over Rt. 125 and the plans have
been submitted for their approval.
P.J. Piantadosi stated that these people live off of a state highway what do they expect. He would
like to see a mall come into this town instead of going over Andover to spend his money.
Ms. Curcio, of Fan-wood Drive, stated that once the mall goes in the accidents will start to occur
just like they did when Osco Drug went in'on Rt. 114. She stated that 9 accidents have occurred.
Jim McCarthy, Heritage Green property manager, stated that he does not want to see Rt. 125 turn
into a Rt. 28 in Salem, NH.
Carol Rennie stated that the mall would be a benefit to the town and it will have a country
atmosphere.
P.J. Piantadosi stated that the Rennies have lived in this town their whole life and they are not
planning on putting up the mall and leaving town.
Mark Gross, site engineer, stated that there would be 4 underground systems designed to store a
100 yr. Storm. Mr. Gross stated that they have been before ConCom and they have asked John
Chessia to look over the drainage because they will be discussing that with ConCom.
Mr. Mahoney asked where the runoff would go.. Mr. Gross stated that it would go into the
wetlands on the Rennies property.
Ms. Colwell stated that the building inspector had concerns with the proposed drainage structures
off site and suggested that the applicant check with him regarding this issue. Mr. Gross stated
that all the runoff goes through the infiltration.
Mr. Mahoney asked what would happen if the sumps overflow. Mr. Gross stated that the property
owner is supposed to maintain the system and keep it cleaned out. If it is not, silt will build up
and go through the pipe and to the infiltration system and eventually be carried down the system.
Mr. Rowen asked if something can be done to prevent this from happening. Mr. Gross stated that
a hood structure will be placed over the pipes to prevent garbage and silt from getting through.
Atty. Mark Johnson, representing Heritage Green, asked if the drainage that is going into the
wetlands is on residential property. Mr.-Gross stated yes. Mr. Johnson stated that he asked John
Morin, of Neve Associated to look over the proposed drainage and he would like to be put on the
cc: list when there is information on the.drainage for this property.
Mr. Mahoney asked what the building looked like in elevation, lighting and landscaping. Mr.
Gross stated that the original plan had all compact parking spaces together now they have them
spread out throughout the parking lot. The lighting along the parking lot on the opposite side of
Farrwood will have 12' high lighting standards that cast light down on the lot. They will have
landscaping with a stockade fence 5'high along Farrwood. There will also be a picket fence along
the front of the property. The signage will be reviewed by the building inspector.
Mr. Gross stated that the HVC units will be located on the top of the Rennies building in a pocket
to reduce the noise. Helene Wilder, of Farrwood Drive, asked what side of the building will be
facing Farrwood with the lighting issues and what about delivery times. Mr. Gross stated that the
back of the building would be facing Farrwood and the only lights that would be on the back
would be emergency lights on the back doors facing down to the door for security purposes.
There are no late night or early morning deliveries.
Ms. Colwell stated that there would be restriction on the delivery times written in the decision.
Mr. Shaheen stated that he would like to end this at the next meeting. They have designed the
building to be safe and the traffic has been approved by the Mass. State Highway.
Joe Balliro, of 27 Farrwood Drive, asked if there was going to be any security with the overnight
parking.

Mark Johnson also asked if there are going to be any trees coming down and if the area is going
to be graded.
Joe Balliro asked if there is going to be any restrictions on the construction hours. Ms. Colwell
stated that the Police Department would be in charge of that.
Continued until April 1, 1997.
The
public hearing was continued until April 8, 1997 due to a snow storm.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on April 8, 1997. The following
members were present: Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison Lescarbeau, Clerk, Alberto
Angles, Associate Member and Richard Nardella. Kathleen Bradley Colwell, Town Planner was
also present.
Peter Shaheen of MHF Design was present on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Shaheen is requesting a
conditional Site Plan approval. Mr. Shaheen stated that the only thing that remains to be done is a
perk test, which will be done on Friday. Ms. Colwell stated that there are other outstanding
issues. John Chessia, the Town's engineering consultant, received the revised drainage last
Wednesday and needs 2 weeks to review them.
Mr. Rowen stated that not everything
has been finalized. There are some issues that can be
resolved like the building, lighting and landscaping. Mr. Rowen stated he would like to wrap up
the traffic issue tonight.
Mr. Nardella asked what the number of parking spaces were there. Mark Gross, of MU Design,
stated that they have moved the compact spaces around. The required size of the spaces are to be
84" and they are giving them 86 '/2.
Mr. Shaheen stated that there will be no restaurant put in the plaza.
Mr. Nardella asked if the dumpster was going to be enclosed with a gate. Mr. Gross stated that it
would be. Ms. Lescarbeau asked if it was a compactor-or a dumpster. Mr. Gross stated that it
was going to be a dumpster.
Ms. Lescarbeau asked how many units are there in the building. Mr. Gross stated that there are a
total of 9 but some can be combined.
Dermit Kelley, of DJK Associates, stated that the size of the road is 36' wide. Mr. Kelley stated
that the shoulder is 5'-6' wide.
Mr. Lescarbeau stated that even though you can't be cited for using the shoulder she is not going
to approve a plan which requires passing in the shoulder.
Mr. Nardella stated that the road is not going to be lined for the use of the shoulder.
Atty. Shaheen stated that Officer Soucy stated that it was not illegal to use the shoulder.
Mr. Nardella asked what is the objection to spending a little money and put the road wider and
put the stripes on the road.
Paul Hajec, the Town's Traffic Consultant, stated that he agrees with the applicant's traffic
consultant and with the state highway department that a turning lane is not warranted for this
project. However, in the future, if there is increased development along Rt. 125, a turning lane
may be warranted along this stretch of RT. 125.
Mark Gross of MHf Design and Peter Shaheen were present. Mr. Scott stated that they did tests
on Monday and the water tables were higher and they addressed the issues and sent them to John
Chessia and he had no major issues.
Mr. Gross stated that he could design a system on a 7 inch water table.
Mr. Rowen stated that at the last meeting the attorney for Heritage Estates had brought up some
issues at the last meeting and wanted to know if they have been addressed. Mr. Scott stated that
they did additional testing.
Mr. Rowen asked if they are planning on having a maintenance plan to include in the decision.
Mr. Gross stated that there are 6 pages in the drainage report for maintenance. Mr. Gross stated
that on site litter would be picked up weekly, sediment and underground tanks will be inspected
monthly and the water swale will be inspected twice a year.
The Board would like to have a maintenance plan put in the decision.
Mr. Shaheen stated that he thought we addressed these issues at the last meeting and both traffic
consultants agreed.
Mr. Nardella asked if we had anything from Sgt. Soucy. Ms. Lescarbeau stated that there is a
letter in our packets that states that you should not cross over the white line.
Mr. Shaheen stated that it is a line to show that the width of the road is almost at an end. Ms.
Lescarbeau stated that you are trying to make a bad situation worse by using the sides of the road..
Why don't you just widen the road.
Mr. Shaheen stated that at the last meeting we suggested that an inexpensive way to improve the
road would be to add a patch of pavement to the side of the road so people could use it. Mr.
Shaheen believes that if it is widened people might not slow down but, speed up and also they are
not allowed to widen the road without the state to say it was O.K.
Mr. Nardella stated that we a legitimate difference of opinion on that.
Mr. Shaheen stated that the applicant meets all the requirements for site plan review so they
should get the approval.
Mr. Mahoney stated that Mr. Shaheen is right if they meet all requirements we cannot deny them.
Mr. Nardella stated that he is not opposed for them to start construction and then widening the
road.
Mr. Nardella stated that when it snows and the plows are pushing the snow and it covers that side
of the road how are the people then going to pass.
Mr. Rowen stated that we have had 3 traffic people say that the road should not be widened and
that people would speed up if it was widened and that's not what we want.
Mr. Mahoney stated that he agrees.
Mr. Shaheen stated that the applicant might contribute to the cost of the road. Mr`. Shaheen
stated that we are willing to do extra to get the approval.
Jim Mcartney stated that the City of Haverhill has approved to widen Rt. 125 and they don't have
a concern with speeding. Mr. Mcartney also state that he would like the North Andover Police
Department to write a letter stating that it is legal for people to pass over the white line. Also he
would like it put in the decision that if the owner of the mall goes belly up that someone has to
maintain the drainage system.
Mr. Nardella stated that there will be a bond to ensure that you would be protected.
Mark Johnson, representing Heritage Estates, disagrees with Mr.Mahoney. In section 8.3 1A,
the purpose of it is to protect the health and safety of the residents and people. This is a site
which has a_building as big as you can get on the site. The drainage is not easy-to get to and if it
fails the Heritage Green people will be the only ones who will get hurt. The building is so big
they can't even put a detention pond on the site so it is underneath. The traffic configuration is
not good for any of the residents. Mr. Johnson stated that his biggest concern is the statement
"we have met all requirements so you have to approve it".
Mr. Rowen stated that he shares concerns with the drainage but it would have been fool proof if
Heritage green tie into their sewer.
Jim Mcartney stated that in response to Mr. Rowen's comment, would you like it if someone used
access on your driveway. It is private property.
Mr. Rowen stated that my point was that they denied them to tie into the sewer so they will have
to live with what happens.
Elvira Curcio, 23 Edgelawn passed out packets to the Board members.
Mr. Shaheen stated that he is looking for them to accept the site plan review and close the public
hearing.
On a motion by Mr. Nardella, seconded by Mr. Rowen the Board voted 4-1 to close the public
hearing.
On a motion by Mr. Rowen , seconded by Mr. Angles, the Board voted 4-1 to direct staff to draft
a decision.
The Board agreed to set the bond for 200 Chickering Road for $25,000.
On a motion by Mr. Rowen, seconded by Mr. Mahoney the Board voted 3-2 to approve 200
Chickering Road site plan review, the site plan review was denied due to the fact you need 4
votes.
Mr. Nardella asked if the applicant would like to know why they denied it. Mr. Shaheen stated
that he thought the Public Hearing was closed. Mr. Nardella stated that the applicant should
come back to resolve the issues of public safety and traffic issues. Mr. Nardella stated that there
is an open door for further reconsideration.
Ms. Lescarbeau stated that she does not concur with items 1&3 of the decision. Ms. Lescarbeau
stated that it that it is not an appropriate location, the building is not appropriate and it is a safety
hazard to the town and area. Ms. Lescarbeau stated that she does not feel that she can be
persuaded.
Mr. Shaheen stated that if it meets the bylaws then the permit must be granted, that's what the
law says.
Mr. Mahoney stated that they have followed the laws and statute. Mr. Mahoney feels that we
have no right not to grant this. In his view the applicant has done everything they were supposed
to do.
Attached are the conditions.
Sincerely,

30. The following wetland resource areas are affected by the proposed work:
Buffer Zone to Bank and Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW). In
addition, an isolated jurisdiction under 1
vegetated wetland not subject to j
g l
CAWinword\00C\242-1111.doc 3 NACC 5/1/02
DEP FILE#242-1111
310 CMR 10.00 was identified and delineated. The applicant has proposed
to provide mitigation for alterations to the isolated wetland identified by
flagging series K2-K6. These resource areas are significant to the interests of
the Act as noted above and therein, with the exception of the isolated wetland
series. The applicant has not attempted to overcome the presumption of
significance of these resource areas to the identified interests.
31. The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource
areas on the site as shown on the plans dated referenced herein. Resource
areas were approved under a Positive Determination of Applicability issued
by the NACC on June 6,2001. The identified isolated resource area was
reviewed and approved under the Determination.
32.The NACC finds that the intensive use of the upland areas and buffer zone
proposed on this site will cause further alteration of the wetland resource
areas. In order to prevent any alteration of the state protected wetland
resource areas,a 15'(foot)separation is mandated between the edge of the
foundation on Building#4 (south side of Building#4) to wetland flagging
series I4 through I8 and A18 through A14. The NACC finds that the
prescribed 15`(foot)separation is necessary and appropriate given the fact
that construction of the building necessitates staging,movement and
storage of building materials within this narrow width of work area.
Further,the NACC finds that the 15'(foot)separation area is necessary to
prevent alteration to the wetland resource area,given the extremely steep
slopes (in many instances a grade steeper than 1:1 and unprotected)that
will result in an unstable soil condition when the grade between the
existing wetland area and the proposed grades at the rear of building,#4 are
complete.
33. There shall be no increase in the post development discharges from the storm
drainage system or any other changes in post development conditions that
alter the post development watershed boundaries as currently depicted in the
Notice of Intent and approved by this Order of Conditions,unless specifically
approved in writing by the Commission.The applicant has analytically
proposed to achieve this performance standard basest upon data and
assumptions presented by Merrimack Engineering and QXk the applicants
geotechnical consultant. To assure that the analytical performance is
actually met,the NACC finds it to be necessary and proper to require a
comprehensive quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC)procedure be
implemented during construction activities of all engineered filled areas,
within the vicinity of the groundwater recharge areas. Said QA/QC
program must include sufficient soil sampling,compaction testing and
permeability testing in order to verify the validity of assumptions made
supporting that no post development discharges will occur. To achieve
C:\Winword\OOC\242-111 Ldoc 4 NACC 5/1!02
DEP FILE#242-1111
this, a geotechnical engineer must be present on the site daily during the
installation of the fill material in the recharge area and during the
installation of the groundwater wicks proposedbeneath the retaining
walls. The engineer shall submit daily monitoring reports to the NACC for
review. The name, telephone number and qualifications of the soil
engineer must be submitted to the NACC for review and approval prior to
construction.Upon completion of construction activities related to the
groundwater recharge area,the geotechnical engineer shall submit`a
stamped certification to the NACC. Said certification shall state that the
groundwater recharge area has been constructed in accordance with the
assumptions and analysis performed under the Notice of Intent.And
further, the certification shall state.that the as-built system will functionally
meet the performance standard with regards to groundwater recharge.
34. This document shall be included in all construction contracts,subcontracts,
and specifications dealing with the work proposed and shall supersede any
conflicting contract requirements. The applicant shall assure that all
contractors,subcontractors,and other personnel performing the permitting
work are fully aware of the permits terms and conditions. Thereafter, the
contractor will be held jointly liable for any violation of this Order resulting
from failure to comply with its conditions.
35. The owners of the project and their successors in title,in the event they
proceed to alter areas subject to the Commission's jurisdiction under the
order,agree that the Order does not"in itself impose upon the Town any
responsibility to maintain the proposed drainage system and that said Town
shall not be liable for any damage in the event of failure. By acceptance of
this Order,the owners agree to indemnify and hold harmless to the Town
and its residents for any damage attributable to alterations undertaken on
this property pursuant to the Order. Issuance of these Conditions does not in
any way imply or certify that the site or downstream areas will not be subject
to flooding,storm damage or any other form of water damage. Maintenance
of the drainage system,if accepted by the Town as part of a public way,
becomes the responsibility of the Town.
36. The NACC finds the applicant`s proposal for 5250:W&of wetland
replication to be adequate. 'Replication methodologies mast be conducted in
accordance with the performance standards outlined in 310 CMR, 10.55(4)
and the replication report prepared by West Environmental Services dated
11/1/01 and 1/31, 2002. A Wetland Specialist must be present on site during
replication construction and planting
activities. Monitoring of the replication
areas must be conducted by a qualified wetland specialist in the spring and.
fall for two consecutive growing seasons. At the end of each inspection, a
progress report of the relative success or failure of the replication effort shall
C:\Winword\OOC\242-1 l l l.doc 5 NACC 5/1/02
DEP FILE#242-1111
be conducted by the wetlands specialist and submitted to the Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP)and the North Andover Conservation
Commission. If at the end of the second growing season, compliance with
310 CMR 10.55 (4)(b)(6)is not achieved, the NACC maintains the right to
require additional mitigative measures.
PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION
37. No work shall be undertaken until all administrative appeal periods from this
Order have elapsed or,if such an appeal has been filed,until all proceedings
before the Department or Court have been completed.
38. This Order shall be recorded by the applicant at the Registry of Deeds
immediately after the expiration of all appeal periods.No work shall be
undertaken until the Final Order has been recorded in the Registry of Deeds-
or the Land Court for the district in 11ich.the W is located,within;the
chain of title of the affected property. In the case,of recorded land,the Final
Order shall also be noted in the Registry's Grantor Index under the name of
the owner of the land upon which the proposed work is to be done.In the
case of registered land,the Final Order shall also be noted on the Land Court
Certificate of Title of the owner of the land upon which the proposed work is
to be done. The recording information shall be submitted to the North
Andover Conservation Commission on the form at the end of this Order
prior to commencement of the work. Any Order not recorded by the
applicant before work commences may be recorded by the NACC at the
applicant's expense.
39. A sign shall be displayed at the site not less than two square feet or more than
three square feet in size bearing the words"Massachusetts DEP,File
Number 242-1111:
40: Any changes in the submitted plans caused by the applicant,another Board's
decision or resulting from this Order of Conditions must be submitted to the
NACC for approval prior to implernentation. If theNACC-finds said changes
to be significant,the NACC will call for nnotl rpt lic arin {at the
expense of the applicant). Within 21 days of the close ofsaid public hearing
the NACC will issue an amended or new Order of Conditions.Any errors
found in the plans or information submitted by the applicant shall be
considered as changes.The proposed project may be still under review by
other local or state boards or agencies. This may result in changes to the
project plans or wetland impacts. If any such changes occur a revised plan
and an explanation of the revisions shall
p be submitted to the NACC for
CAWinword\000242-1 11 Ldoc 6 NACC 5/1/02

42. Prior to any work commencing ort-site, the applicant shall submit to the
NACC for approval,a detailed sequence of construction,including the
construction of compensation and retention areas,installation of
sedimentation/erosion control devices and re-vegetation to be completed
before other work begins on-site.
43. From the information submitted to the NACC,including the OPECHE
construction sequence and record plans,Building#4 can not be built
without potential alteration to the wetland resource area.The plans
submitted to the NACC lack sufficient detail and clarity to construct the
improvements at Building#4 and areas adjacent thereto. Clarity and
constructability of the record drawing are essential given the close
proximity of Building#4 to the wetland resource areas and the steepness of
slope between the two areas.As such,all construction improvements to
Building#4 are hereby not approved at this time. The applicant is.
encouraged to submit supplemental and detailed information regarding a
specific construction sequence for the building,retaining walls and
associated grading.Details and cross-sections must be submitted at a
suitable plan scale not less than a 21Y scale in order to accurately assess the
impacts to the adjacent wetland resource areas. Upon review and approval
of the submitted information,the NACC will issue an amendment to the
Order of Conditions for construction of Building#4.
44.Wetland flagging shall be checked prior to start of construction and shall be
re-established where missing. All wetland flagging shall remain visible and
enumerated per the approved plan(s)throughout the life of the project and
until a Certificate of Compliance is issued so that erosion control measures
can be properly placed and wetland impacts can be monitored_ The proposed
limit of work shall be shall be clearly marked with stakes or flags and shall be
confirmed by the NACC. Such markers shall be checked and replaced as
necessaryand shall be maintained until all construction is complete. Workers
should be informed that no use of machinery,storage of machinery or
materials stockpiling of soil,p g so ,or construction activity is to occur beyond this
line at any time. All flags used for the above purposes shall

45. A row of staked hay bales backed by trenched siltation fence shall be placed
between all construction areas and wetlands. The erosion control barrier will
be properly installed and placed as shown on the plans approved and
� referenced herein and
shall b
e inspected
and approved by the NACC prior to
the start of construction and shall remain intact until all disturbed areas have
been permanently stabilized to prevent erosion. All erosion prevention and
sedimentation protection measures found necessary during construction shall
be implemented at the direction of the NACC. The NACC reserves the right
to impose additional conditions on portions of this project to mitigate any
impacts which could result from site erosion,or any noticeable degradation
of surface water quality discharging from the site. For example,installation
of erosion control measures may be required in areas not shown on the
plan(s) referenced in this Order of Conditions. Should such installation be
required by the NACC,they shall be installed within 48 hours of the
Commission's request.
46. The applicant shall have on hand at the start of any soil-disturbance,removal
or stockpiling, a minimum of 100 hay bales and sufficient stakes for staking
these bales (or an equivalent amount of silt fence). Said bales shall be used
only for the control of emergency erosion problems and shall not be used for
the normal control of erosion.

hereof, shall be signed by a party or parties satisfactory to the NACC,and
Town Counsel,and shall be released after completion of the project,provided
that provisions,satisfactory to the NACC,have been made for performance
of any conditions which are of continuing nature. The applicant may propose
a monetary release schedule keyed to completion of specific portions of the
project for the NACC's review and approval_
48. The applicant shall designate a Wetland Scientist as an "Erosion Control
Monitor"to oversee any en '
placement of controls and regular
inspection or replacement of sedimentation control devices. The name and
phone number of the erosion control monitor must be provided to the NACC
in the event that this person has to be contacted,due to an emergency n at the
site, during any 24-hour period, including weekends. This person shall be
given the authority to stop construction for erosion control purposes. The
erosion control monitor will be required to inspect all such devices and
oversee cleaning and the proper disposal of waste products. Cleaning shall

visually inspect all sedimentation/erosion control measures and assume
responsibility for their maintenance on a weekly basis and that they are
functioning as intended. In addition,all wetland resource areas must be
visually inspected for siltation,turbidity,and/or other water quality impacts.
49. Prior to construction,the applicant shall permanently mark the edge of the
wetland resource area with signs spaced evenly every 25 feet incorporating
the following text: "Protected Wetland Resource Area". The signs shall be
placed along the southern property boundary behind Building#4. This will
designate their sensitivity and assure no further:inadvertent encroachment
into the wetland. These permanent markers are sub}ect to review and
approval by the NACC. The applicant shall instruct all agents to explain
these markers to buyers/lessees/landscapers and all persons taking over the
property from the applicant.
50. The applicant and/or the legal owner of that portion of land upon which
these Orders of Conditions have been placed shall provide to the NACC prior

Re: Special Permit/Site Plan Review 200 Chickering Road
Dear Ms. Bradshaw:
The North Andover Planning Board held a public hearing on Tuesday evening, July 21, 1998 at
7:30 p.m. in the Department of Public Work 384 Osgood Street on the application of Scott
Construction Co., 12 Rogers Road, Haverhill, MA 01835 North Andover, MA 01845 for a
special permit under Section 8.3 (Site Plan Review) of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw . The
legal notice was properly advertised in the North Andover Citizen on July 1 and July 8, 1998 and
all parties of interest were duly notified. The following members were present: Alison
Lescarbeau, Vice Chairman, John Simons, Clerk, Richard Nardella and Alberto Angles,
Associate Member. Kathleen Bradley Colwell, Town Planner was also absent.
The petitioner was requesting a special permit to allow the construction of a 24,055 SF wood
framed retail/office building located at 200 Chickering Road North Andover, MA 01845 in the
Business - 1 district (B-1).
Peter Shaheen, Mark Gross of MI-IF Design and Dermit Kelly of DJK Associates were present to
represent 200 Chickering Road. Mr. Shaheen stated that they reoriented the site due to Town
Meeting. Mr. Shaheen stated that the old plan was running perpendicular to Chickering Road and
now it is running parallel to Chickering Road. Mr. Gross stated that the rezoning line is 300' from
Chickering Road. Mr. Gross stated that the proposed building is going to be utilized with the
same footprint. Mr. Gross stated that the 13`floor of the building will be 16,500 SF of retail space
and the 2nd floor will be 7,500 SF of office space and the parking spaces will be 9 x 18. Mr.
Gross stated that to enter the main entrance there is going to be stairs and an elevator. Mr. Gross
stated that the storm water plan is much more simplified. Mr. Gross stated that the dumpster is
going to be set away from the building with a fence around it. Mr. Gross stated that they are
putting up a stockade fence along Farrwood Drive with a gate for residents in the condo to
access the stores easily. Mr. Gross stated that the back parcel will be given to the Town or to the
Trustees of Reservations. The driveway will be 13' further away from Farrwood Drive. Mr.
Gross stated that the display area will be used by Rennies and there will be a 360 degree turn
around the building. Mr. Gross stated that the site will be serviced with town sewer. Mr. Gross
BOARD OF APPEALS 688-9541 BUILDING 688-9545 CONSERVATION 688-9530 HEALTH 688-9540 PLANNING 688-9535
showed the Board what type of lighting they are planning on using. Mr. Nardella asked where the
dumpster will be located. Mr. Gross stated that it will be adjacent to the fence on Farrwood
Drive. Ms. Lescarbeau asked where the lights are going to be placed. Mr. Gross showed the
Board the location of the lights on the plan. Mr. Simons asked if there was a loading dock. Mr.
Gross stated that there is one in the rear for just box trucks. Mr. Nardella asked what the
original size of the other building. Mr. Gross stated that it was 16,900 SF of just retail.
Mr. Reiner the Architect, stated that the highest point of the building is 33'. Mr. Reiner went
over the plans with the Board. Mr. Reiner stated that they are planning on putting rails on the
roof to hide the HVAC units. Mr. Reiner stated that the building will be made of clapboard siding
with divided windows and utility steel doors. There will be some brick at the entrance and with a
asphalt roof. Mr. Simons asked if there is anything they could do architecturally to the back of
the building. Mr. Reiner stated that they could do something in the back. Mr. Simon stated that
this is the first time we have ever mixed commercial with retail and he thinks it is a good thing.
Mr. Nardella asked what are they doing with regards to noise because of the HVAC units. Mr.
Reiner stated that the railings are walls that look like railings. Mr. Nardella asked if there is going
to be a covenant so that the renters signs are all the same. Mr. Shaheen stated that we will go by
the sign bylaw. Mr. Nardella told the applicants to think about delivery times.
Dermit Kelly of DJK Associates, stated that the original study was based on 17,500 SF of retail
and the new one is 16,500 SF of retail and 7,500 SF of office. Mr. Kelly stated that the impact
will be the same. Ms. Colwell asked if they will have to go back to the state. Mr. Kelly stated
they do. Mr. Gross stated that they have to re-file with ConCom and will be doing that within the
next week or so. Mr. Gross stated that we are collecting runoff:and are providing storm water
treatment structure. Mr. Chessia stated that the drainage was looked at extensively at the last
submittal and he would recommend a test pit be done.
Mr. Simons stated that he likes the plan and thinks they did a nice job. Mr. Simons asked if they
thought of moving the house instead of tearing it down. Mr. Simons also stated that he still has a
personal preference about moving the building up closer to the front and put the parking in the
rear.
Paul Hajec of Hajec Associates stated that would suggest that they re-submit a curb cut to the
state but, they already did and the movement of the driveway was also better. Chris Rodstrom of
the Trustees of the Reservations asked if there was any assessment going to be done. Mr.
Shaheen stated no. Mr. Nardella asked if the condo association has seen this plan. Mr. Shaheen
stated yes, and I think they are pleased.
Continued until August 18, 1998.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on August 18, 1998. The following
members were present: Richard S. Rowen, Chairman, Alison Lescarbeau, Vice Chairman, John
Simons, Clerk, Alberto Angles, Associate Member, Joseph Mahoney and Richard Nardella.
Kathleen Bradley Colwell, Town Planner was also present.
'I
Dom Scalise was present to represent 285 Holt Road. Mr. Scalise stated that on behalf of the
applicant they would not like to hold a hearing tonight because there is only 4 members present
and at the last meeting there was 6 and they are afraid that it might be a problem when it comes
time to vote. Ms. Colwell stated that we did receive a copy of our traffic consultants comments
but, we did not ask him to attend this meeting because we thought your consultant would not
have time to respond. Mr. Rowen stated that he has put together a list of things that he would
like to see during the permit process. Mr. Rowen stated that he is not keen on surprises and
would like to pass them out to you. Mr. Rowen went over his punch list with the Board and the
applicants. Ms. Colwell stated that the noise proposal went out today to the 3 companies. Ms.
Colwell also stated that the People for the Environment are holding a meeting Thursday night July
9, 1998 @ 7:00 p.m. @ the North Parish Church.
Continued until September 1, 1998.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on September 1, 1998. The following
members were present: Richard S. Rowen, Chairman, John Simons, Clerk, Joseph Mahoney and
Richard Nardella. Kathleen Bradley Colwell, Town Planner was also present.
Mark Gross of MHF Design was present to represent Scott Construction. Mr. Gross stated that
he received a letter from John Chessia of Coler&Colantonio and he had a discussion with Ms.
Colwell and she stated that they were all set. Ms. Colwell stated that the ponds will not contain
no more than 9" of water. Ms. Colwell stated that another test pit should be done by the leaching
area. Mr. Gross went over the parking space issue. Mr. Rowen stated that he would like to come
up with language that is used by the building inspector for the number of parking spaces. Mr.
Gross went over his theory on the number if parking spaces. Mr. Nardella stated that the zoning
bylaw states that for residential area the parking spaces required are greater than retail area. Mr.
Gross stated that all these tenants need to submit building plans to the building inspector so he
will be able to enforce if they try to put in tables or booths. Mr. Nardella stated that he wants to
see this succeed. The Board went over the number of parking spaces for residential and for retail.
Mr. Rowen stated that right now they are set up for retail. Mr. Mahoney stated that we have a
building inspector to enforce this. Mr. Nardella stated that 701 Salem Street has a table in there
and they're not supposed to. Mr. Gross stated that this is an enforcement and not part of the
approval. Mr. Gross stated that if there is a tenant that would be brought in they would have to
go to the building inspector anyway. Mr. Nardella stated that they don't have enough parking to
get a restaurant. Dave Rennie asked if they have enough parking for any seating. Mr. Rowen
stated that they don't have enough parking. Mr. Gross stated that they are not going to build the
building with out tenants sot hey will have to come back before the Board if they need more
parking spaces. Mrs. Rennie asked if this is affected with a coffee shop. Mr. Nardella stated that
no, as long as there are no seats. Bill Sullivan, Chairman of Zoning Board of Appeals stated that
if there are counters that customers can serve themselves that is considered a seat. Mr. Rowen
stated that we just want to make sure that your eyes are open. Ms. Colwell went over her
wording for the parking spaces.
On a motion by Mr. Mahoney, seconded by Mr. Nardella, the Board voted unanimously to close
the Public Hearing.
Attached are the conditions.
Sincerely,
Richard S. Rowen, Chairman
North Andover Planning Board

7. Adequate and appropriate facilities will be provided for the proper operation of the
proposed use.

conditions in order to be fully in compliance. The Planning Board hereby grants an
approval to the applicant provided the following conditions are met:
SPECIAL CONDITIONS:

MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MOTION OF HERITAGE GREEN CONDOMINIUM
ASSOCIATION TO INTERVENE
NOW comes Heritage Green Condominium Association ("Heritage Green") and states the
following in support of its Motion to Intervene.
I. Introduction
This action is an appeal by the Plaintiffs of the Town of North Andover Planning Board's
("Board") denial of the Plaintiff's application for a site plan special permit.
Plaintiffs sought approval for a commercial project directly abutting the residential
condominiums of Heritage Green. Heritage Green opposed the project. The condominium
association participated extensively in the Planning Board proceeding and retained an aert who
reviewed plans and made recommendations to the Board. Heritage Green's main cont rns were
with the project's affect on traffic and drainage. Heritage Green contends that the proj ct will
greatly increase traffic volume and that the proposed drainage system for the project is not feasible
and may cause damage to Heritage Green's property. The Planning Board voted three to two in
favor of the application but the application was denied, as the favorable vote of four members was
required for approval.
Of the two members who voted against the project, one has resigned and the term of the
second has expired without reappointment by the town manager. Where nearly all of the current
Board members are in favor of the project, Heritage Green now seeks to protect its interest by
intervening as a party to this action.
I�
II. Argument
Heritage Green seeks to intervene as of right under Mass. R. Civ. P. 24(a) and, alternatively,
b the Court's discretion under Mass.R. Civ. P.24(b). The Zonin Acts specifically provides that in
Yg P YP
addition to thea applicant and t other persons may be
pp he special permit granting authority, O p y
permitted to intervene upon motion." M.G.L. c.40A, 17.
Rule 24(a)(2)provides intervention as of right,
"when the applicant claims an interest relating to the property or transaction which is the
subject of the action and he is so situated that the disposition of the action may as a practical
matter impair or impede his ability to protect that interest, unless the applicant's interest is
adequately represented by existing parties." Mass. R. Civ. P. 24(a)(2).
Rule 24(b) provides that"anyone may be permitted to intervene in an action: 1)when a
statute of the Commonwealth confers a conditional right to intervene; or 2)when an applicant's
claim or defense and the main action have a question of law or fact in common. ... In exercising its
discretion the Court shall consider whether the intervention will unduly delay or prejudice the
adjudication of the rights of the original parties. Mass. R. Civ. P. 24(b). As discussed above,
M.G.L. c.40A, 17 provides Heritage Green with a conditional right to intervene.
A. Heritage Green Has an Interest in the Subject of This Action.
Heritage Green is a direct,abutter to the proposed project. Heritage Green has
raised concerns about the projects negative impact on traffic and the proposed drainage
system. Heritage Green contends that where the proposed drainage system is entirely
underground, if the system were to fail, it would result in significant flooding and damage to
Heritage Green's property. These concerns have been substantiated by an expert retained
by Heritage Green who commented on the project during the Planning Board process.
Heritage Green's interest and its ability to effect changes to the project will be impaired if it
is unable to participate in the disposition of this case.
Further, if the Board had voted to approve the plaintiffs application, Heritage
Green would have had standing to appeal the decision as a"party aggrieved"under M.G.L.
c. 40A §17. See Rafferty v. Sancta Maria Hospital, 5 Mass. App. Ct. 624, 367 N.E. 2d. 856
(1977) (abutters are presumed to be "persons aggrieved"by a decision of a special permit
ranting authority.), Pauldining v. Bruins, 18 Mass. App. Ct. 207, 470 N.E. 2d.398 1984,
(gabutters concerned about a projects potential to cause harm to their properties were
persons aggrieved".). Marashalian v. Zoning Board of Appeals, 421 Mass. 719, 660 N.E.
2d. 369 (1996) (abutters who feared increased traffic and decreased parking were "persons
aggrieved".) Watros v. Greater Lynn Mental Health, 421 Mass. 106, 653 N.E. 24. 589
(1995) (an abutter may rely solely on the presumption that it is an"aggrieved pe son"
absent evidence controverting the presumption.) Where Heritage Green would have
qualified as a"person aggrieved" to appeal the Board's approval of the plaintiffs'
application, the Heritage Green has satisfied the burden of Rule 24(a) for intervention as
of right or, at a minimum, the Court should be compelled to exercise its discretion under
Rule 24(b), to allow Heritage Green's permissive intervention.
B. Heritage Green's Interests Are Not AdeduatelYRepresented b Ey xisting Parties.
At the time of its decision,only two members of the Town's Planning Board voted
against the project. Therefore, a majority of the Board supports the plaintiff's position in
this case. According to a newspaper article published in the Eagle-Tribune Newspaper,both
h ve come under severe criticism for
oft e Board members who voted against the protect ha
their votes. Planning Board member,Alison LeCarbeau,who voted against the project,has
since resigned. The remaining Planning Board member opposed to the project,Richard A.
Nardella, has not been reappointed to the Board,apparently as a result of his opposition to
the plaintiff's project. The Eagle-Tribune article further emphasizes that Town Selectmen
do not support the Boards denial of a permit for the project. Where the remaining
members of the Planning Board, as well as,the Town Selectmen strongly support the
project, it is clear that Heritage Green's interest may not be adequately represented by the
only defendant to the case, the Town's Planning Board. This is consistent with the Plaintiffs'
Complaint which makes various allegations concerning the conflict between the members of
the Planning Board and other Town officials in connection with the Plaintiffs'project.
C. Zoning Act Clearly Provides for the Participation of Parties Other Than the
Applicant and the Permit Grantine Authority in an Appeal of a Permit Granting
Authority Decision.
Where M. G.L. c. 40A, 17,states,"(o)ther persons may be permitted to intervene,
upon motion"a conditional right to intervene is conferred. Therefore,the Court should
exercise its discretion by permitting Heritage Green to intervene where,"the intervention
will (not) unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of the original parties."
Mass R. Civ. P. 24(b).
D. Heritage Green's Intervention is Timely and Will Not Unduly Delay or Prejudice the
Original Parties.
This action has only been filed for a short period of time and no significant events
have occurred since the filing. Heritage Green does not require or seek any delay of the
proceeding. Further,Heritage Greens intervention into the case will not cause any delay or
effect the rights of the original parties.
II. Conclusion
Where Heritage Green has significant rights and interests which will be affected by this
action, the current parties cannot be relied on to adequately represent or protect those interests,
and no delay or prejudice will be occasioned by Heritage Greens intervention, then this Court
should allow the requested intervention either as of right under Rule 24(a)or pursuant to the
Court's discretion under Rule 24(b).

Application. The North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals circulated the plan for review to the North
Andover Police Department, the North Andover Fire Department, the North Andover Conservation
Commission, the North Andover Board of Health, the North Andover Planning Board, and the North
Andover Department of Public Works. Partly as a result of comments and recommendations made by
Page -2-
these Boards, the Applicant submitted a revised plan dated July 3, 2001 to the North Andover Zoning
Board of Appeals. After subsequent review by the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals,the Applicant
submitted a second revised plan to the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals on September 12, 2001,
which is the final plan the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals reviewed for the Comprehensive Permit
decision. There are no outstanding issues raised by any Town Boards. All issues have been addressed
by the Applicant.
Prior to the close of the public hearing on September 18, 2001, the North Andover Zoning Board of
Appeals also received and considered the following written communications:
10. Letter from Peggy Walsh,resident of Heritage Green Condominium, dated June 4, 2001;
11. Correspondence from Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc., consultants for the North Andover
Zoning Board of Appeals, dated July 6, 2001;

11, 2001;
13. Correspondence from Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc., consultants for the North Andover
Zoning Board of Appeals, dated September 13, 2001;
14. Letter from Elvira "Vera" Curcio, resident of Heritage Green Condominium, dated
September 19, 2001.
In addition to the foregoing materials, the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals retained Vanasse
Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB)to provide a technical review of the Applicant's application,plans,and studies
and to present findings of this review to the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals in writing.This review
was paid for from funds received from the Applicant for this purpose. The Applicant has satisfactorily
addressed the issues raised by the consultant.
The premises and site affected are known as 200 Chickering Road, North Andover, Massachusetts and
are commonly known as the Rennie's Florist site. In 1998, the Owner submitted a Special Permit
Application to the North Andover Planning Board for the approval of a 24,055 square foot office and retail
h roved on September 3 1998 this ro'ectwas never constructed.On April 19,2001,
complex.Although a p
p g pp P
the Applicant submitted a Comprehensive Permit application to the North Andover Zoning Board of
Page -3-
Appeals.The site consists of 6.33 acres of land and 346.27 feet of frontage,a single family house,a florist
shop,and greenhouse.The site is served by municipal water and sewer,and natural gas.All of the existing
structures are to be demolished. The Applicant proposed to construct 132 units of multi-family housing in
six wood frame buildings, three stories in height; 25% or thirty-three (33) units were to be set aside as"
"affordable". In addition, a community building or clubhouse was proposed, and 180 surface parking
spaces. Trash storage and removal as proposed consisted of three dumpsters, ten cubic yards in size.
The site itself is irregular in shape. Wetlands are found on the site; wetland issues will be addressed by
the Conservation Commission when the Applicant submits a notice of intent.
The parcel of land which is the subject of the Comprehensive Permit application is owned by Dorothy J.
Rennie, Individually and Trustee and Carol Ryan Rennie, Trustee of Old Town Village Realty Trust. The
Applicant is Terra Properties, LLC. The Applicant has submitted evidence of site control to the North
Andover Zoning Board of Appeals as required.The parcel of land is recorded at the Essex North Registry
of Deeds in Book 798 Page 49; Book 826 Page 23; Book 5598 Page 98;the Plan reference is Plan 13434.
It is also identified as Assessor's Map 46 Lots 35 and 46.The site is located in Zoning Districts Residential
4(R-4),Residential 5(R-5),and Business 1 (B-1).The FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map#250098-0003-C
dated June 2, 1993 indicates that the parcel is located in Zone X.
The Applicant originally proposed access to the rear section of the site through Wood Lane,a paper street.
Wood Lane was created by a vote of Town Meeting in 1909; in 1931 a portion of Wood Lane was
discontinued as a town way at Town Meeting. The Applicant contended that the discontinued portion of
Wood Lane is not the portion which runs along the site's South/Southwest boundary,and designed access
to the rear portion of their site over Wood Lane. However, an abutter, the Trustees of Reservations,
disagreed and objected to the Applicant's right to use Wood Lane for access to the rear portion of the site.
During the course of the hearing on the Application,the Applicant and the Trustees agreed that Applicant
would abandon its claim to use Wood Lane for access in exchange for approximately 5,000 square feet
of land owned by the Trustees which would allow the Applicant to connect the front and rear sections of
the site without creating a second driveway access from Chickering Road over Wood Lane. The North
Andover Zoning Board of Appeals agrees that this is a better solution to the problem of access since it
eliminates disagreement about the legality of crossing Wood Lane and reduces wetland impact. Evidence
of the Agreement between the Applicant and the Trustees of Reservations was presented to the North
Andover Zoning Board of Appeals for review (Exhibit D).
Page -4-
Prior to the submission of the Comprehensive Permit application, the Applicant applied to the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Boston's New England Fund for a project eligibility letter through the Warren Bank,
a participating lender with an office in Beverly, Massachusetts.Warren Bank reviewed the Application and
issued a Project Eligibility Letter to the Applicant on March 29, 2001. As a result of the decision by the
Massachusetts Housing Appeals Committee in Stuborn Ltd. Partnership v. Barnstable Bd.of Appeals, No.
98-01 (Decision March 5, 1999),the New England Fundwas added to the list of eligible housing programs.
No other subsidy programs have been proposed by the Applicant.
During the course of the public hearing and as a result of the agreement with the Trustees of Reservations,
an abutter, to eliminate the need for an access drive crossing Wood Lane, the Applicant redesigned the
site. The final plan presented to the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals showed the number of
buildings reduced from six to four; the number of units decreased from 132 to 126; and the number of
parking spaces increased from 180 to 202, an increase in the parking ratio of 1.36 of spaces per unit to
1.6 parking spaces per unit. In addition,the number of trash dumpsters,which had been decreased to two,
was increased to three, ten cubic yards in size. In response to concerns from the North Andover Zoning,
Board of Appeals regarding trash pickup, the Applicant has agreed to provide a trash compactor in each
unit as well as a garbage disposal
During the course of the public hearing,the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals also heard testimony
from the Heritage Green Condominium Association, an abutter, and various condominium unit owners at
Heritage Green Condominium,also abutters,who objected to the use of Farrwood Avenue,a private road,
for the purpose of accessing underground utilities.The Applicant has redesigned the plan to eliminate the
use of Farrwood Avenue and the final plan shows the connections to utilities in Chickering Road only, a .
public way.Another issue brought up by these abutters concerned flooding of the Heritage Green property.
As designed by the applicant and reviewed by the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals' technical
consultant, VHB, no increase in peak rate of runoff water will be directed off-site, but will be detained on
site in either surface detention basins or underground recharge chambers.
The Heritage Green abutters also brought the issue of a buffer between the Kittredge Crossing property
and the Heritage Green property.The Applicant has proposed both a fence and a vegetative buffer to be
created along the property line in the vicinity of Farrwood Avenue, as shown on the final plan.
In addition,various abutters questioned the financial impact of the proposed project on the Town of North
Andover, specifically with respect to the impact on the public school system. The Applicant submitted a
Fiscal Impact Analysis and a Revised Fiscal Impact Analysis(Exhibit C)prepared using a model developed
Page -5-
by the Natural Resources Defense Council called Developments and Dollars - an Introduction to Fiscal
Impact Analysis in Land Use Planning, principally authored by Michael L. Siegel of Public and
Environmental Finance Associates. The original Fiscal Impact Analysis assumed eleven children would
live at Kittredge Crossing. In response to questions and comments from the North Andover Zoning Board
of Appeals, the Applicant revised the Analysis to show the impact of up to three times the number of
children. Both the original and revised Analyses showed a positive fiscal impact to the Town,with a break
even point in excess of 52 children.
The Applicant proposed the Citizens' Housing and Planning Association (CHAPA), as the agency to
monitor the resale of the affordable units. The North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals asked what the
options were for such agencies and was told that the choices are a non-profit housing advocacy agency
like CHAPA,the local housing authority,or a regional housing authority.The Applicant indicated that there
was a conflict of interest in choosing the local housing authority and that CHAPA was the preferred agency.
The Applicant has agreed with CHAPA for these services and will sign a contract with them to this effect.

DEP FILE #242 - 856
FINDINGS OF FACT:
Overview:
Request for Determination QLADDlicabft
The applicant filed a Request for Determination of Applicability(RDA)with the North
Andover Conservation Commission(NACC) on November 13, 1996; an initial public
hearing was held within the 21 daytime requirement(December 4, 1996) and was posted
appropriately in the North Andover Citizen. No work was proposed under this filing as
the applicant was simply requesting confirmation of applicable wetland resource areas.
The applicant requested a continuance of the public hearing until December 18, 1996 in
order to provide the NACC with proof of abutter notification and additional technical data
requested by the Conservation Administrator. At the December 18, 1996 public hearing
the applicant submitted proof of abutter notification and it was determined by the NACC
that the application was now complete and in accordance with M.G.L. C. 131. S.40,
"Topic#14 of DEP's Guide to Abutter Notification" (dated April 8, 1994) and the North
Andover Wetland ByLaw&Regulations (C. 178 of the Code of North Andover). The
wetland delineation depicted on the plan of record (dated 12/11/96)was approved in the
field by the Conservation Administrator and accepted by the NACC. The applicant
requested that no determination be made with regards to the recently enacted River's Bill.
As such, the NACC issued a Positive Determination of Applicability referencing the BVW
delineation only and not the Riverfront Area. The public hearing was closed on December
18, 1996.
Notice of Intent:
The applicant filed a Notice of Intent with the NACC on February 7, 1997; an initial
public hearing was held within the 21 day time requirement (February 19, 1997) and was
posted appropriately in the North Andover Citizen(M.G.L. c.39 s.23B). At that time
proof of abutter notification was submitted and it was determined by the NACC that the
application was complete and in accordance with M.G.L. C. 131 s. 40, "Topic#14 of
DEP's Guide to Abutter Notification" (dated April 8, 1994) and the North Andover
Wetland ByLaw&Regulations (C. 178 of the Code of North Andover).
In accordance with 310 CMR 10.05(5)(b)(2)the public hearing was continued to the
following agreed upon dates:
• March 19, 1997
• April 2, 1997
• April 16, 1997
• May 7, 1997
• May 21, 1997
The above referenced continuances were announced to all parties and people present at
each respective public hearing. On May 21, 1997 the NACC closed the public hearing and
issued this decision on June 4, 1997.

DEP FILE #242 - 856
Wetland Resource Areas-STATE:
Proposed work included construction of 16, 900 square foot retail project with associated
site access, parking and stormwater management system within the Buffer Zone of a
Bordering Vegetated Wetland. The stream which was questioned through the RDA
process by concerned parties and the NACC was observed"dry" on two occasions by the
North Andover Conservation Administrator, however, due to it's juxtaposition on the site
and its proximity to the proposed limit of work(greater than 200') no determination was
made or warranted under the state Riverfront Acta
FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps(dated REV 6/2/93)do not depict a floodplain deemed
jurisdictional under the Act or local ByLaw. Thus, it was the opinion of the NACC that
no work was proposed within the limits of any jurisdictional floodplain.
Wetland Resource Areas—LOCAL:
Areas subject to protection under the ByLaw differ from those protected under the Act in
that additional areas are protected by this ByLaw. The additional areas subject to
protection under the ByLaw include the buffer zone, smaller ponds, vernal pools and
certain freshwater wetlands that may not meet the definition of BVW's under the Act.
Section M (p.18) of the North Andover Wetland Regulations references and describes the
25' No-Disturbance and 50'No-Construction Zones. No activity is allowed in the No-
Disturbance Zone and building construction of any kind is prohibited in the No-
Construction Zone. This includes but is not limited to dwelling construction, buildings,
porches, decks, additions, and/or sheds. Driveways and fences may be allowed in the No-
Construction Zone.
The imposition of these additional zones is established since, in the considerable body'of
experience of the Commission, alteration of land immediately adjacent to a wetland
invariably results in the alteration of the wetland itself. Such wetland alterations have been
observed during construction such as siltation, over-grading or depositing construction
debris. Such alterations have been observed after construction from improper land use
such as unregulated filling, cutting of vegetation, extension of lawns or the depositing of
yard waste. Such alterations have been observed resulting in increased runoff, siltation
and temperature or nutrient loading resulting from the change in land use immediately
adjacent to the wetland. These subsequent alterations cannot be regulated without the
imposition of the restricted zones detailed above. Since the Commission cannot allow
unregulated alteration of wetlands, these restricted zones will likely be imposed on all
projects. Such findings have compelled the Commission to engage in research into the
literature and regulations concerning the function and necessity of such zones.
The project, as proposed, does not encroach upon nor does it infringe into the above
mentioned setbacks. The applicant did not request a waiver of the No-Disturbance Zone
or the No-Construction Zone and the NACC did not review or approve any such requests.

DEP FILE # 242 - 856
DEP's Stormwater Management Policy-STATE:
The proposed stormwater management system discharged into the 100' Buffer Zone and
as a result the NACC mandated that the applicant comply with"DEP's Stormwater
Management Policy" (dated 11/96). The regulations contain explicit jurisdiction over
point source discharges, including stormwater(310 CMR 10.05(6). In accordance with
Section 178.11 of the North Andover Wetland ByLaw a"Consultant Services Account"
was established. The purpose of this account is to fund a third art drainage review b
p � party g Y
an engineering firm approved and hired by the Town. Of great concern to the NACC
under this application was a thorough review of the drainage design and compliance with
the complex state policy.
The goal of the stormwater management policy is to improve water quality(pollutants)
and address water quantity(flood control)problems by the implementation of
performance standards for stormwater management through Best Management Practices
(BMP's). BMP's reduce or prevent pollutants from reaching water bodies and control the
quantity of runoff from a site. Therefore, and after a lengthy and detailed drainage review,
it is the majority opinion of the NACC that all nine(9) standards of the Stormwater
Management Policy have been satisfactorily complied with and the applicant has
demonstrated that there will be no adverse impacts to applicable wetland resource areas.
In addition, the applicant has also complied with the performance standards outlined in
Section VI(C) of the North Andover Wetland ByLaw and Regulations.

interests of the ByLaw. The applicant has not attempted to overcome the
presumption of significance of these resource areas to the identified interests.
10. The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource
areas on the site as shown on the plans referenced above. Prior to the
issuance of a Certificate of Compliance, the applicant will submit a plan
showing the site's wetland delineation at a scale identical to the Town
wetland map for this location.
11. IMPORTANT: Issuance of these Conditions does not in any way imply or
certify that the site or downstream areas will not be subject to flooding or
storm damage.
12. IMPORTANT: The conditions of this decision shall apply to, and be binding
upon, the applicant, owner, its employees and all successors and assigns in
interest or control.
13. The NACC finds that the intensive use of the upland areas and buffer zone
proposed on this site will cause further alteration of the wetland resource
areas. In order to prevent any alteration of wetland resource areas a twenty
five foot(25') No-Disturbance Zone and a fifty foot(501 No-Construction
Zone shall be established from the edge of the adjacent wetland resource
area. The Conservation Administrator and/or other agents of the NACC do
not have the authority to waive these setbacks as established under the local
bylaw. No disturbance of existing grade, soils or vegetation is permitted in
the No-Disturbance zone. (See Appendix 5 of the local Regulations).
14. All catch basins shall contain oil/gasoline traps, and it shall be a continuing
condition of this order, even after a Certificate of Compliance is issued, that
the oil/gasoline traps in the catch basins be maintained. All catch basins
shall be free of all accumulated silt and debris before a Compliance is issued
and the owner or his/her agent shall so specify in the request for
Compliance.

OPERA TION AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
FOR
OLDS VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER
200 CHICKERING ROAD
NORTHANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS
An effective Site Operation and Maintenance Plan is essential for the proper operation of
the stormwater management systems that are designed to provide for water quality and
quantity measures. The stormwater management system owner will be the same as the
current owner of the property and will be responsible for implementation of the operation
and maintenance plan for the site.
As with any development for this type of use, a maintenance company is employed to deal
with the routine operation for the facility including maintenance of the building,;trash
disposal, snow removal and landscaping. Some of these items are routinely done on a
weekly, monthly or seasonal basis. The maintenance company employed for the site will
be responsible for implementing the operation and maintenance procedures outlined l herein
for the stormwater management systems. Routine and non-routine maintenance tasks
which are part of these procedures are defined and listed for the Operation and
Maintenance Plan and the schedule for the proposed maintenance plan is outlined in this
report.
It is also suggested that the Operation and Maintenance Procedures for this site be made
part of the conditions of approval for the Order of Conditions that may be issued for this
project and a copy be put on file with the Town of North Andover. In addition,
maintenance and inspection reports prepared for the owner as part of this project can also
be submitted to the Town of North Andover, if required.
I. PARKING LOT SHEEPIN
Sweeping of the parking lots shall be done early in the spring season once the snow has
melted. This early sweeping will remove much of the sand and other debris that is often
left as a result of snow plowing. Snow removal from the site or placement of snow
outside of paved areas will also prevent sand and debris accumulation in the paved areas
and reduce the amount of materials that could potentially enter the storm drainage system.
Accumulated sediment in non-paved areas from snow storage areas shall be removed as
well. In addition, sweeping of the parking areas shall be done in the fall after the majority
of the leaf drop occurs but prior to the fiist snowfall.
H LITTER CU
NTRDL
Litter control involves removing litter such as leaves, lawn clippings, pet wastes, and trash
from parking lots and landscape areas before materials are transported into the on-site
drainage systems. There are several ways to control litter. An effective program of trash
and garbage collection will reduce the amount of material entering surface waters. Lawn
clippings and leaves will be removed from the site as part of the landscaping maintenance
program. Weekly maintenance of the landscape areas of the site will commence in the
early spring months and continue through the summer and taper off to twice a month'
through the fall months into early winter. Recycling programs will be encouraged by the
individual tenants and a recycling container will be provided in the centralized trash
enclosure area of the site. In addition,the trash receptacle for the entire site has been
located in one area to minimize the amount of trash receptacles onsite,thereby reducing
the potential for litter. Trash and recylables removal will be on an as-needed basis,
depending on the amount of materials generated by the tenants of the site. Litter
collection in the parking areas will be done weekly.
In addition to litter control,the use of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides shall be limited
on the site. Proper pesticide and fertilizer application shall be encouraged, including
proper timing and application reduction. Buffer areas between the landscape areas and the
downstream wetland areas are provided. The specific limits of the fertilizers, pesticides
and herbicides to be used on-site will be provided by the landscape maintenance company.
ILL CATCH BASIN CLEANING
The removal of sediments and associated pollutants and trash occurs only when inlets or
sumps are cleaned out, therefore regular maintenance of the catch basin sumps is essential
to the longevity of the stormwater drainage system. The more frequent the cleaning,the
less likely sediments and trash will be resuspended and discharged downstream to the
drainage system. Frequent cleaning also provides more volume for future storms and
enhances overall performance. In areas of potentially high sediment accumulation such as
parking lots, inlets should be inspected frequently, and cleaned as necessary, after every
major storm event. Minimum requirements for cleaning of inlets and sumps for catch
basins as recommended under the Stormwater Management policy are four times a year.
However, for this site,the recommended inspection and cleaning schedule will be every
two months or as needed based upon inspection.
IV. SEDIMENT COLLECTIONSYSTEMS
Sediment collection systems have been provided at the downstream end of each catch
basin inlet in the parking lot. These systems are designed to provide for sediment
collection of stormwater prior to entering the underground detention systems. Removal of
sediment and associated pollutants occurs when sediment collection systems are cleaned,
therefore regular maintenance is required. The more frequent the removal of accumulated
sediments, the less likely sediments will be resuspended and adversely affect the
downstream drainage systems or downstream receiving waters. Inspection ports are
provided at each end of the sediment collection system for visual checks of the system. At
a minimum the sediment collection systems shall be cleaned four times a year and
inspected monthly. Monthly inspection reports can be furnished to the Town of North
Andover upon request.
V UNDERGROUND DETENTION SYSTEMS
There are five underground detention systems proposed for the site. Pretreatment through
the use of deepsump hooded catch basins and sediment collection systems and the proper
maintenance of these pretreatment systems as described above will eliminate sediment and
litter accumulation within the proposed underground detention systems. Inspection and
maintenance requirements are outlined by the manufacturer and should be used as the
minimum requirements for this site. It is essential to any subsurface system to detail and
perform proper inspection and maintenance program. The inspection and maintenance of
these systems will be performed by the site maintenance company that is employed by the
owner of the property. The manufacturer specified for these proposed systems is
"Infiltrator Systems Inc.", 123 Elm Street, Suite 12, Old Saybrook, Connecticut 06475,
(203) 388-6639.
Each infiltrator chamber is provide with a"knockout"in the center of the unit. This may
be used to provide an inspection port at grade level. A 6"PVC pipe is placed through the
access port as a riser to grade and then capped with a cast iron cover in the paved areas as
needed. Inspections shall be conducted following major storm events(25 year storm or
greater) so that potential sediment levels and draw down times can be determined.
Sediment removal will be accommodated through the use of the deepsump and sediment
collection systems. Should the pretreatment structures be not completely effective in silt
removal and sediment enters the chamber system,then the Infiltrator chamber may be
maintained through the access ports,which are supplied on the proposed systems. For
removal of sediment from the underground systems,the outlet pipe from the chamber
system can be plugged at the downstream manhole and water injected into the system
which will put the fine sediments into suspension. The water and suspended sediment can
then be pumped out and removed from the site. This method can also be used for
sediment removal in the collection systems. Various types of equipment are available
commercially for clean out of drainage systems. The most commonly used equipment and
techniques used for cleaning systems are vacuum pump and water jet spray. Both systems
are generally mounted on a self contained vehicle and can effectively remove stones,
leaves and sediment deposits from sumps and chambers. The underground detention
r
` t
systems shall be inspected monthly or after a heavy rainfall and cleaned as needed,
depending on the amount of sediment accumulation in the systems.
The underground systems to be used for roof drainage infiltration shall have monitoring
wells installed in the system with an at grade access cap. These monitoring wells shall be
inspected after a major storm event(25 year storm or greater) and then 72 hours
thereafter to ensure the proper operation of these systems. In addition to the monitoring
wells, several access ports are located within the underground systems to check various
areas of the system.
VI WATER QUALITY3WA1 E
Water quality swales should be inspected at least semi-annually, and maintenance and
repairs made as necessary. Additional inspections should be made during the first few
months after construction to make sure that the vegetation has been adequately
established. Repairs and reseeding should be done as required. Water quality swales
should be mowed once a year and grass clippings be removed.-Grass must not be cut
shorter than 4 inches and excessive mowing is discouraged. Sediment and debris removal
should be done manually, at least once a year. The seed mix for the water quality swale is
a specified below and is also shown on the design plans.
WATER QUALITY SWALE PLANTVVG SPECIFICATION
Tall fescue 20 lbs/acre or 0.45 lbs/10,000 sf
Creeping red fescue 20 lbs/acre or 0.45 lbs/10,000 sf
Birdsfoot trefoil 8 lbs/acre or 0.20 lbs/10,000 sf
Lime and fertilizer should be applied prior to or at time of
seeding and incorporated into the soil. The following rates are
recommended:
Agricultural limestone 2 tons/acre or 100 lbs/1,000 sf
Nitrogen(1) 50 lbs/acre or 1.1 lbs/10,000 sf
Phosphate (P205) 100 lbs/acre or 2.2 lbs/10,000 sf
Potash (K20) 100 lbs/acre or 2.2 lbs/10,000 sf
(This is equivalent to 500 lbs/acre of 10-20-20 fertilizer or
1,000 lbs/acre of 5-10-10).

authorized the Building Commissioner to allow the Applicant to start site preparation prior to the posting of the
b allowed to post a letter of credit in lieu of a
ted that the e
bond. On September 20 2002,the Applicant requested y p
p pp q
surety bond due to the difficulty in obtaining a surety bond of the value requested.The Applicant's request was
submitted to Town Counsel for his review and approval.
On October 15,2002,the ZBA gave the Applicant another extension to post the bond.This extension was granted
since the surety bond vs.letter of credit issue had not been resolved.For safety reasons,the Building Commissioner
felt it prudent for the Applicant to continue site preparation.
At the October 22,2002 public meeting the ZBA discussed the surety bond/letter of credit issue.Town Counsel
spoke at the meeting and explained the Performance Guaranty and Letter of Credit Agreement proposed by the
Applicant in lieu of a Surety Bond. The Performance Guaranty and Letter of Credit Agreement will accompany a
Letter of Credit issued by Banknorth which names the Town of North Andover as the beneficiary.There were a few
concerns raised by the ZBA. Town Counsel and Applicant's counsel resolved all outstanding issues.The ZBA asked
the Applicant to send a copy of the Letter of Credit along with the Performance Guaranty and Letter of Credit
Agreement to each member of the ZBA via certified mail prior to the November 12,2002 meeting.At the November
12,2002 meeting,the ZBA voted to substitute the Performance Guaranty and Letter of Credit Agreement for the
surety bond.
On October 25,2002 the Permit,dated October 24,2001,was recorded at the Essex County Registry of Deeds
(Book: 7200 Page:126).
On December 10, 2002,the ZBA voted to approve this minor modification and authorize the Chairman to sign on
behalf of the ZBA.

MODIFICATIONS
At a public meeting held on December 10,2002,the ZBA voted to make certain minor modifications to the Permit.
The ZBA determines this to be a minor,non-substantive modification and updating of the Permit as it corrects
clerical errors or omissions and provides a status of the compliance with certain conditions of the Permit;does not
grant relief different from that which was originally sought;does not change the result of the Permit;and no one
relying on the Permit will be prejudiced by this modification.
Upon review of the Permit,it has been determined that there was a typographical error intheplan date for the
landscaping plan.The error occurs on both the second page and page 8 of the Permit.The reference to the
landscaping plan should have been as follows:

John Simon,Alberto Angeles,Richard Rowen, )
&Joseph V.Mahoney as they comprise the )
North Andover Planning Board and the )
Town of North Andover, )
Defendants )
AMENDED COMPLAINT
1. The plaintiff, Dorothy J.Rennie,is the owner of the property located at 200 Chickering Road
in the Town of North Andover, Massachusetts, and more particularly described in a deed
recorded in book 798 page 826 in the Essex North Registry of Deeds. A copy of the deed is
attached as exhibit A.
2. The plaintiff,Scott Construction Company Inc., is a New Hampshire corporation with a
principal place of business at 395 Main Street, Salem, NH. Plaintiff Scott Construction
Company, Inc., currently has the property at 200 Chickering Road, North Andover, under
agreement for sale with plaintiff Dorothy J.Rennie.
3. The defendants,Richard Nardella,Alison Lescarbeau,John Simon,Alberto Angles,Richard
Rowen and Joseph Mahoney, at all pertinent times, are the duly appointed Planning Board
1
for the Town of North Andover. (hereinafter"the Planning Board').
4. The defendant, Town of North Andover(hereinafter"the Town')is a municipal corporation
established on April 7, 1855.
5. The Planning Board is appointed by the Town Manager. The Planning Board is charged with
authority by the Town to grant permits for site plan approval, so called "special permits",
pursuant to section 8.3 of the Town's zoning by-laws. A copy of the said section is attached
hereto as exhibit B.
6. The plaintiff, Dorothy Rennie's property,as described,above, lies within the R-4 Residential
District and the B-1 Business District as established under the zoning by-laws of the Town,
duly adopted in 1972 and as amended, in full force and effect at all times relevant to this
action.
7. On or about November 5, 1996, the plaintiffs, Dorothy Rennie and Scott Construction
Company,applied to the Planning Board for site plan approval for a 16,000 square foot retail
center to be built upon approximately 1.8 acres of plaintiff,Dorothy Rennie's,above-described
property lying within the B-1 Business 1 District, (hereinafter"B-1"). This type of use is
allowed as of right in"B-1"under the Town's zoning by-laws. A copy of said application is
attached here to as exhibit C.
8. The Town's zoning by-laws require that an applicant for site plan approval provide specific
2
information and meet certain criteria in order to obtain site plan approval. Section 8.3 1 of the
by law states that the purpose of site plan review is to review plans to protect the health,safety,
convenience and general welfare of town inhabitants. Once the applicant meets the criteria set
forth in the by-laws, the Town must grant the site plan approval. The plaintiffs, over the
course of six months and five public hearings,met with the Planning Board,the Town Planner,
various Town consultants and the Town's director of community development in order to
satisfy the Town's by-laws.The Plaintiffs hired engineers,attorneys,architects and consultants
to work with the Town in order to satisfy the Town's by-laws.
9. On May 20, 1997 the Planning Board closed the public hearing on the plaintiffs application.
At that time,Joseph Mahoney,Chairman of the Planning Board, stated that the plaintiffs had
met all of the requirements for obtaining site plan approval and that a permit could,therefore,
not be denied the plaintiffs. None of the members of the Planning Board disagreed with this
evaluation and the Planning Board staff was directed to draft a decision approving the
application.
10. On June 3, 1997 the Planning Board voted 3-2 in favor of granting site plan approval.
Despite this vote, the Planning Board has refused to issue a site plan approval permit. The
Planning Board interprets M.G.L. c.40A Sec. 9 as requiring a super majority, at least four
affirmative votes of a five member board, for approval of site plans. A copy of the Planning,
Board's decision is attached here to as exhibit D.
11. ar
Bo d members Nardella and Lescarbeau voted against approval of the Plaintiffs' site plan..
3
They offered no substantive reasons for this denial and neither could identify what element
of section 8.3 7(a)(iii)of the Town's zoning by-laws the Plaintiffs had failed to meet. Both
Nardella and Lescarbeau suggested that traffic at the site was a concern, yet neither could
point to anything specific to substantiate this belief. Said Board Members were aware that the
Town's own traffic consultant had confirmed that there was, in fact,no traffic problem at this
site. Moreover, they were aware that the Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental
Affairs and Massachusetts Highway Department had found no significant traffic(issues and,
in the case of the latter,had issued a curb cut permit onto Route 125, a state highway. When
Nardella and Lescarbeau took this action,the Chairman of the Board stated"I thought we had
come to a consensus about this". Nardella and Lescarbeau had been advised by both the
Chairman of the Board and the Director of Community Development that they had no valid
reason to deny the permit.
12. After voting to deny Plaintiffs' application,Nardella asked the plaintiffs if they wished to re-
open discussions in an effort to "ameliorate" the dissenting members' concerns about the
Plaintiffs' project. He was advised by the Chairman that this had been the purpose of the
previous six months' of hearings and meetings. Chairman Mahoney admonished Nardella that
he had exceeded his authority by voting to deny the site plan approval.
13. The denial of the Plaintiffs'application for site plan approval by Nardella and Lescarbeau was
made with reckless disregard for the law and in bad faith in that when they voted against the
application,they did so with full knowledge that the application met all criteria required by the
Town for site plan approval. They further knew that they had no discretion to deny approval
4
and no valid reason to vote against it. The Plaintiffs, with authority from the chairman,
videotaped the hearings held on May 20th and June 3rd, 1997. Nardella is heard to state on
tape on two occasions during the May 20th hearing that he understood that the Plaintiffs had
met all of the requirements set forth in section. 8.3 of the zoning by-laws . During the June
3rd hearing,after being informed by the Chairman of the Board that he did not have discretion
to vote against the application, Nardella told the Chairman, who is a licensed,practicing
attorney in the Commonwealth, " Don't lecture me on the law."
COUNT I-DECLARATORY RELIEF
C L c 231A-TOWN HAS NO DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY
TO DENY SITE PLAN APPROVAL
14. The plaintiffs reallege the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-13 above as if fully set forth
herein.
15. The Town's zoning by-laws require that an applicant for site plan approval provide specific
information and meet certain criteria in order to obtain site plan approval. Section 8.3 1 of the
by law states that the purpose of site plan review is to review plans to protect the health,safety,
convenience and general welfare of town inhabitants. Once the applicant meets the criteria set
forth in the by-laws, the Town must grant the site plan approval.` The plaintiffs, over the
course of six months and five public hearings,met with the Planning Board,the Town Planner,
various Town consultants and the Town's director of community development in order to
satisfy the Town's by-laws. The Plaintiffs hired engineers, attorneys, architects and
consultants to work with the Town in order to satisfy the Town's by-laws and, in fact, the
5
Plaintiffs have met all of the criteria established for site plan approval.
16. The Town does not dispute that the Plaintiffs have met all criteria for site plan approval.
17. Section 8.3 7(a)(iii)of the zoning by-laws states as follows:
"The Planning Board may deny approval of a site plan for the following reasons:
a) The plan does not include all the materials or information required in this section,or
has failed to adhere to the procedures for Site Plan Review as outlined in this section,
and Section 10.3 (Special Permits),or;
b) The plan as presented is not in compliance with Town by-laws,or;
c) The plan has been drawn incorrectly or in such form that the Planning Board is unable
to determine what information is being presented for review,or;
d) The applicants have failed to incorporate and adhere to any condition(s)for approval
granted by any Town Board,Department or commission, or requirementscalled for
by any state or federal agency,which has proper authority upon which to place conditions
on a matter before the Planning Board." (See Exhibit E).
18. The Plaintiffs say that the Town has no discretionary authority to deny the site approval
because the Plaintiffs have met all applicable criteria.
19. An actual controversy exists between each of the Plaintiffs and the Defendants.
6
WHEREFORE,the Plaintiffs demand a declaratory judgment pursuant to G.L. c. 231A that
the Town mast grant the site plan approval because it has no discretionary authority to deny it pursuant
to Section 8.3 of the Zoning By-laws.
COUNT H-DECLARATORY JUDGMENT SUPER MAJORITY NOT REO FD
20. The plaintiffs reallege the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-19 as if fully set forth herein.
21. The Town improperly denied site plan approval to the Plaintiffs despite the fact that the
Planning Board voted 3-2 in favor of site plan approval.
22. A "super majority" is not required to grant site pian approval as the Town alleges. A simple
majority is all that is required for approval.
23. G.L.c.40A section 9 applies to special permits for specific uses,not for approval of site plans,
as provided in section 8.3 of the zoning by-laws.
24. An actual controversy exists between the Plaintiffs and the Defendants.
WHEREFORE,the Plaintiffs pray for a declaration by this Court that:
L A "super-majority" is not required for site plan approval;and
ii. The majority vote of 3-2 in favor of site plan approval was sufficient, under all
applicable laws to approve the site plan and that the site plan was in fact and in law
7
approved by the 3-2 vote in favor.
COUNT III-INTFRFF ENC F MM CONMCIUAL RELATION HIP'
25. The Plaintiffs reallege the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-24 as if fully set forth herein.
26. The plaintiff,Dorothy Rennie's property upon which the proposed retail shopping center was
to be built is zoned B-1. According to the zoning by-laws, of the Town the type of use
proposed by her is allowed as of right. A copy of the allowed uses as established under the
Town's zoning bylaw is attached hereto as exhibit E.
27. Under the Town's zoning by-laws,section 8.3 2(1),all buildings or construction which contain
more than 2000 square feet of gross floor area are subject to site plan review.
28. Section 8.3b of said zoning by-law provides that all site plan review applications be submitted
under G.L.c.40 Sec.9 and be reviewed by the Planning Board as a special permit. The Town
interprets this as requiring a"super majority",i.e,.four members of a five member board must
vote in favor of the permit.
29. By interpreting the law in this way,the Town has prevented the plaintiffs from using their
land for its intended use and has interfered with the contract that exists between them for
development of this land.
8
COUNT IV-REGULATORY TAKING
30. The plaintiffs reallege the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-29 as if fully set forth herein.
31. The plaintiffs ,Dorothy Rennie and the Scott Construction Company,Inc.,properly applied
for site plan approval as established under section 8.3 of said zoning by-laws,and provided all
of the information required for site plan approval. They relied upon these bylaws before
making their investment in the development of this property.
32. After numerous hearings that spanned approximately 6 months, the plaintiffs met each and
every criteria established by the Town for site plan approval. Section 8.3 7( a) (i) of the
zoning by-laws states that the Planning Board shall approve a site plan if it complies with all
current by-law requirements of the Town and the site plan has been submitted in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the zoning by-laws.
33. Section 8.3 7(a)(iii)of the zoning by-laws states as follows:
The Planning Board may deny approval of a site plan for the following reasons:
a) The plan does not include all the materials or information required in this
section, or has failed to adhere to the procedures for Site Plan Review as
outlined in this section,and Section 10.3 (Special Permits),or;
9
b) The plan as presented is not in compliance with Town by-laws,or;
c) The plan has been drawn incorrectly or in such form that the Planning Board
is unable to determine what information is being presented for review,or;
d) The applicants have failed to incorporate and adhere to any condition(s) for
approval granted by and Town Board, Department or Commission, or
requirements called for by and state or federal agency, which has proper
authority upon which to place conditions on a matter before the Planning
Board.
34. The Plaintiffs' site plan complies with all current by-law requirements of the Town and has
been submitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the zoning by-laws. Under
section 8.3 7( a)( I) the approval must therefore be granted. The denial of the Plaintiffs'
application does not comply with sec. 8.3 7(a)(iii), or even state reason for the denial and is
therefore invalid. The Planning Board's decision was arbitrary and capricious and exceeded
its authority.
35. The Plaintiffs, in reliance upon the zoning by-laws expended substantial sums of money in
the form of fees for engineering, legal,architectural,and other professional services in order
to comply with the established criteria of the Town's site plan approval. To date, the
Plaintiffs' have spent over$120,000 on such fees.
10
36. The Planning Board and the Town have, through improper permit denial, caused a regulatory
taking of the Plaintiffs' property without reasonable compensation.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiffs demand that:
1. The decision of the Planning Board be annulled and declared null and void.
2. The Planning Board and the Town be ordered to issue a special permit to Plaintiffs pursuant
to their application for site plan review;
3. The Planning Board and the Town be ordered to immediately issue site plan approval to the
Plaintiffs based upon the 3-2 vote in favor of site plan approval by the Planning Board;
4. The Town be ordered to compensate Plaintiffs for its regulatory taking of their property;
5. The Town be ordered to pay the Plaintiffs for damages they incurred by the improper denial
of their site plan;
6. The Town be ordered to pay the Plaintiffs for all attorney's fees and costs incurred in this
matter.

in the Town of North Andover, Massachusetts, and more particularly described in a deed
recorded in book 798 page 826 in the Essex North Registry of Deeds. A copy of the deed is
attached as exhibit A.
2. The plaintiff, Scott Companies Inc., is a Massachusetts corporation with a principal place of
business at 12 Rogers Road, Haverhill, Massachusetts. Plaintiff Scott Companies, Inc.,
currently has the property at 200 Chickering Road,North Andover, under agreement for sale
with plaintiff Dorothy J. Rennie.
3. The defendants, Richard Nardella, Alison Lescarbeau, John Simon, Alberto Angles, Richard
Rowen and Joseph Mahoney, at all pertinent times, are the duly appointed Planning Board
for the Town of North Andover. (hereinafter"the Planning Board").
1
4. The defendant, Town of North Andover(hereinafter"the Town") is a municipal corporation
established on April 7, 1855.
5. The Planning Board is appointed by the Town Manager. The Planning Board is charged with
authority by the Town to grant permits for site plan approval, so called "special permits",
pursuant to section 8.3 of the Town's zoning by-laws. A copy of the said section is attached
hereto as exhibit B.
6. The plaintiff, Dorothy Rennie's property, as described, above, lies within the R-4s
idential
District and the B-I Business District as established under the zoning by-laws of he Town,
duly adopted in 1972 and as amended, in full force and effect at all times relevant to this
action.
7. On or about November 5, 1996,the plaintiffs, Dorothy Rennie and Scott Companies, applied
to the Planning Board for site plan approval for a 16,000 square foot retail center to be built
upon approximately 1.8 acres of plaintiff, Dorothy Rennie's, above-described property lying
within the B-1 Business 1 District,(hereinafter"B-1"). This type of use is allowed as of right
in" B-1" under the Town's zoning by-laws. A copy of said application is attached here to as
exhibit C.
8. The Town's zoning by-laws require that an applicant for site plan approval provide specific
information and meet certain criteria in order to obtain site plan approval. Section 8.3 1 of the
by law states that the purpose of site plan review is to review plans to protect the health, safety,
2
i
convenience and general welfare of town inhabitants. Once the applicant meets the criteria set
forth in the by-laws, the Town must grant the site plan approval. The plaintiffs, over the
course of six months and five public hearings,met with the Planning Board,the Town Planner,
various Town consultants and the Town's director of community development in order to
satisfy the Town's by-laws. The Plaintiffs hired engineers,attorneys, architects and consultants
to work with the Town in order to satisfy the Town's by-laws.
9. On May 20, 1997 the Planning Board closed the public hearing on the plaintiffs application.
At that time, Joseph Mahoney,Chairman of the Planning Board, stated that the plaintiffs had
met all of the requirements for obtaining site plan approval and that a permit could,i herefore,
not be denied the plaintiffs. None of the members of the Planning Board disagreed with this
evaluation and the Planning Board staff was directed to draft a decision approving the
application.
10. On June 3, 1997 the Planning Board voted 3-2 in favor of granting site plan approval.
Despite this vote, the Planning Board has refused to issue a site plan approval permit. The
Planning Board interprets M.G.L. c.40A Sec. 9 as requiring a super majority, at least four
affirmative votes of a five member board, for approval of site plans. A copy of the Planning
Board's decision is attached here to as exhibit D.
11. Board members Nardella and Lescarbeau voted against approval of the Plaintiffs' site plan.
They offered no substantive reasons for this denial and neither could identify what element
of section 8.3 7 (a)( iii) of the Town's zoning by-laws the Plaintiffs had failed to meet. Both
3
Nardella and Lescarbeau suggested that traffic at the site was a concern, yet neither could
point to anything specific to substantiate this belief. Said Board Members were aware that the
Town's own traffic consultant had confirmed that there was, in fact, no traffic problem at this
site. Moreover,they were aware that the Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental
Affairs and Massachusetts Highway Department had found no significant traffic issues and,
in the case of the latter,had issued a curb cut permit onto Route 125, a state highway. When
Nardella and Lescarbeau took this action,the Chairman of the Board stated " I thought we had
come to a consensus about this". Nardella and Lescarbeau had been advised by both the
Chairman of the Board and the Director of Community Development that they had no valid
reason to deny the permit.
12. After voting to deny Plaintiffs' application,Nardella asked the plaintiffs if they wished to re-
open discussions in an effort to "ameliorate" the dissenting members' concerns about the
Plaintiffs' project. He was advised by the Chairman that this had been the purpose of the
previous six months' of hearings and meetings. Chairman Mahoney admonished Nardella that
he had exceeded his authority by voting to deny the site plan approval.
13. The denial of the Plaintiffs' application for site plan approval by Nardella and Lescarbeau was
made with reckless disregard for the law and in bad faith in that when they voted against the
application,they did so with full knowledge that the application met all criteria required by the
Town for site plan approval. They further knew that they had no discretion to deny approval
and no valid reason to vote against it. The Plaintiffs, with authority from the chairman,
videotaped the hearings held on May 20th and June 3rd, 1997. Nardella is heard to state on
4
tape on two occasions during the May 20th hearing that he understood that the Plaintiffs had
met all of the requirements set forth in section. 8.3 of the zoning by-laws. During the June 3rd
hearing, after being informed by the Chairman of the Board that he did not have discretion to
vote against the application,Nardella told the Chairman,who is a licensed,practicing attorney
in the Commonwealth, " Don't lecture me on the law."
COUNT I-DECLARATORY RELIEF
G L c 231A TOWN HAS NO DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY
TO DENY SITE PLAN APPROVAL
14. The plaintiffs reallege the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-13 above as if fully set forth
herein.
15. The Town's zoning by-laws require that an applicant for site plan approval provide specific
information and meet certain criteria in order to obtain site plan approval. Section 8.3 1 of the
by law states that the purpose of site plan review is to review plans to protect the health, safety,
convenience and general welfare of town inhabitants. Once the applicant meets the criteria set
forth in the by-laws, the Town must grant the site plan approval. The plaintiffs, over the
course of six months and five public hearings,met with the Planning Board,the Town Planner,
various Town consultants and the Town's director of community development in order to
satisfy the Town's by-laws. The Plaintiffs hired engineers,attorneys,architects and consultants
to work with the Town in order to satisfy the Town's by-laws and, in fact,the Plaintiffs have
met all of the criteria established for site plan approval.
5
16. The Town does not dispute that the Plaintiffs have met all criteria for site plan approval.
17. Section 8.3 7(a)(iii)of the zoning by-laws states as follows:
"The Planning Board may deny approval of a site plan for the following reasons:
a) The plan does not include all the materials or information required in this section, or
has failed to adhere to the procedures for Site Plan Review as outlined in this section,
and Section 10.3 (Special Permits), or;
b) The plan as presented is not in compliance with Town by-laws, or;
C) The plan has been drawn incorrectly or in such form that the Planning Board is unable
to determine what information is being presented for review, or;
d) The applicants have failed to incorporate and adhere to any condition(s) for approval
granted by any Town Board,Department or commission,or requirements called for by
any state or federal agency,which has proper authority upon which to place conditions
on a matter before the Planning Board." (See Exhibit E).
18. The Plaintiffs say that the Town has no discretionary authority to deny the site approval
because the Plaintiffs have met all applicable criteria.
19. An actual controversy exists between each of the Plaintiffs and the Defendants.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiffs demand a declaratory judgment pursuant to G.L. c. 231A that
the Town must grant the site plan approval because it has no discretionary authority to deny it pursuant
to Section 8.3 of the Zoning By-laws.
6
COUNT 11-DECLARATORY JUDGMENT NT SUPER AJORITY NOT REQUIRED
20. The plaintiffs reallege the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-19 as if fully set forth herein.
21. The Town improperly denied site plan approval to the Plaintiffs despite the fact that the
Planning Board voted 3-2 in favor of site plan approval.
22. A "super majority" is not required to grant site plan approval as the Town alleges. A simple
majority is all that is required for approval.
23. G.L.c.40A section 9 applies to special permits for specific uses,not for approval of site plans,
as provided in section 8.3 of the zoning by-laws.
24. An actual controversy exists between the Plaintiffs and the Defendants.
WHEREFORE,the Plaintiffs pray for a declaration by this Court that:
i. A "super-majority" is not required for site plan approval;and
ii. The majority vote of 3-2 in favor of site plan approval was sufficient under all
applicable laws to approve the site plan and that the site plan was in fact and in law
approved by the 3-2 vote in favor.
COUNT HI-INTERFEMCE WITH CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP
7
25. The Plaintiffs reallege the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-24 as if fully set forth herein.
26. The plaintiff, Dorothy Rennie's property upon which the proposed retail shopping center was
to be built is zoned B-1. According to the zoning by-laws, of the Town the type of use
proposed by her is allowed as of right. A copy of the allowed uses as established under the
Town's zoning bylaw is attached hereto as exhibit E.
27. Under the Town's zoning by-laws, section 8.3 2(I),all buildings or construction which contain
more than 2000 square feet of gross floor area are subject to site plan review.
28. Section 8.3b of said zoning by-law provides that all site plan review applications be submitted
under G.L. c.40 Sec. 9 and be reviewed by the Planning Board as a special permit. The Town
interprets this as requiring a"super majority", i.e,. four members of a five member board must
vote in favor of the permit.
29. By interpreting the law in this way,the Town has prevented the plaintiffs from using their land
for its intended use and has interfered with the contract that exists between them for
development of this land.
COUNT IV-REGULATORY TAKING
30. The plaintiffs reallege the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-29 as if fully set forth herein.
8
31. The plaintiffs , Dorothy Rennie and the Scott Companies, Inc.,properly applied for site plan
approval as established under section 8.3 of said zoning by-laws, and provided all of the
information required for site plan approval.They relied upon these bylaws before making their
investment in the development of this property.
32. After numerous hearings that spanned approximately 6 months, the plaintiffs met each and
every criteria established by the Town for site plan approval. Section 8.3 7(a)(i)of the zoning
by-laws states that the Planning Board shall approve a site plan if it complies with all current
by-law requirements of the Town and the site plan has been submitted in accordance with the
rules and regulations of the zoning by-laws.
33. Section 8.3 7(a)( iii) of the zoning by-laws states as follows:
The Planning Board may deny approval of a site plan for the following reasons:
a) The plan does not include all the materials or information required in this
section, or has failed to adhere to the procedures for Site Plan Review as
outlined in this section, and Section 10.3 (Special Permits), or;
b) The plan as presented is not in compliance with Town by-laws, or;
etl or in such form that the Planning
Board
C) The plan has been drawn incorrectly �
is unable to determine what information is being presented for review, or;
9
d) The applicants have failed to incorporate and adhere to any condition(s) for
approval granted by and Town Board, Department or Commission, or
requirements called for by and state or federal agency, which has proper
authority upon which to place conditions on a matter before the Planning
` Board.
34. The Plaintiffs' site plan complies with all current by-law requirements of the Town and has
been submitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the zoning by-laws. Under
section 8.3 7( a)( I) the approval must therefore be granted. The denial of the Plaintiffs'
application does not comply with sec. 8.3 7 (a) (iii), or even state reason for the denial and is
therefore invalid. The Planning Board's decision was arbitrary and capricious and exceeded
its authority.
35. The Plaintiffs, in reliance upon the zoning by-laws expended substantial sums of money in the
form of fees for engineering, legal, architectural, and other professional services in order to
comply with the established criteria of the Town's site plan approval. To date,the Plaintiffs'
have spent over $100,000 on such fees.
36. The Planning Board and the Town have, through improper permit denial, caused a regulatory
taking of the Plaintiffs' property without reasonable compensation.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiffs demand that:
10
1. The decision of the Planning Board be annulled and declared null and void.
2. The Planning Board and the Town be ordered to issue a special permit to Plaintiffs pursuant
to their application for site plan review;
3. The Planning Board and the Town be ordered to immediately issue site plan approval to the
Plaintiffs based upon the 3-2 vote in favor of site plan approval by the Planning Board;
4. The Town be ordered to compensate Plaintiffs for its regulatory taking of their property;
5. The Town be ordered to pay the Plaintiffs for damages they incurred by the improper denial
of their site plan;
6. The Town be ordered to pay the Plaintiffs for all attorney's fees and costs incurred in this
matter.

Monday - June 14, 1971
Regular Meeting & 5 Hearings
The BOARD OF APPEALS held its regular meeting on Monday evening, June 14, 1971
at 7:30 P.M. in the Town Office Building with the following members present and
voting: J. Philip Arsenault, Chairman; Kenneth E. Pickard, Vice Chairman; Dr. Eugene A.
Beliveau, Clerk; Arthur R. Drummond and Frank Serio, Jr. Associate Member William N.
Salemme was also present.
There were over 30 people present for the hearings.
1. HEARIM: David & Dorothy Rennie.
Chairman Arsenault disqualified himself from sitting on this petition and desig-
nated Vice Chairman Pickard to sit as Chairman and appointed Assoc. Member Salemme to
sit as a member of the Board.
Dr. Beliveau read the legal notice in the appeal of David & Dorothy Rennie who
requested a variation of Sec. 1 .17 & 1 .18 of the Zoning By-Law so as to permit the
continued bale of nursery plants not grown on the premises, packaged fertilizers
and garden supplies excluding garden tools or mechanical implements; on the premises
located at the west side of Chickering Road; approx. 21000 feet distant from the
corner of Massachusetts Ave. and known as 200 Chickering Road.
He also read a letter from the Building Inspector to the Rennies stating that they
are in violation of the Zoning By-Law because their premises are being used for
purposes not allowed in a residential district. Retail selling is limited to farm
produce and the stand cannot be used as a place where merchandise other than farm
produce can be sold. He ordered them to discontinue selling non-farm produce by
June 15, 1971, which would allow him time to dispose of his present supplies without
imposing a financial hardship and also time to appear before the Board of Appeals.
The letter was dated May 26, 1971.
Atty. Maurice Rappaport represented the petitioner, who explained that they have
always been allowed to conduct the sale of fruit and vegetables. It is now necessary
to seek a variance in order to make a living. This could be a limited variance;
they need some means to keep the place together. No one in the neighborhood is against
what they are doing or complaining. This is their only income. They have a small
truck garden now. The only opposition is from competitors. The only thing other than
shrubbery that they are selling is packaged fertilizers and this would be stored in
the garage. These people have been living here for a long time and are entitled to
sustain themselves. The request is reasonable and he asks that the Board grant the
variance for the specific items asked.
John J. McLay, Turnpike Street, spoke in opposition stating he went to the Building
Inspector opposing it. He said he has never been opposed to any business in town
but they should conduct their business on an equal basis. They should have their
property zoned for business and they should have proper parking area; they are now
parking on both sides of the street. Other businesses need parking areas, entrances,
exits, etc. They are allowed to sell products grown on their land but they are now
expanding and selling other things. They do not have the proper conditions to run a
business there. Mr. McLay said he re-zoned his area to business. If this was a
properly zoned area he would not be opposed. They had asked to be allowed to sell
the merchandise they had for Mother's Day and Memorial Day and they would not bring
any other stock in. They did bring other stock in after they said they wouldn't do _
so. This was in violation of their promise.

June 14, 1971 — cont.
Henry Lund, also spoke in opposition and agreed with everything Mr. McLay had
stated. He too had to rezone his property to business in order to sell the same
products the Rennies are presently selling.
Peter Romano, lives across the street from Rennie, and asked if the variance was
granted and they do sell other than what is allowed, how much could the business
expand.
Building Inspector Foster explained they could only sell what the variance allows.
He also pointed out to the Board the fact that they are not asking for an appeal
from his ruling but are asking for a variance.
Don Boyle explained that he is involved in the business, he is a son—in—law to the
Rennes. He stated that he did not bring any other products in after he said he
wouldn't and explained that it was a special job he was doing.
Mr. McLay then said he is doing a landscaping business also if he is doing that
special job.
Member Drummond stated he was surprised that a special permit was not asked for
instead of a variance.
Mr. Drummond made a motion to take the petition under advisement; Dr. Beliveau
seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous.
2. HEARING: Henry K. Hyder, Jr. — Tennis Club.
Chairman Arsenault presided again and the five regular members sat on this F
petition.
Dr. Beliveau read the legal notice in the appeal of Henry K. Hyder, Jr. who
requested a Special Permit under Sec. 4.8 of the Zoning By—Law so as to permit
an Indoor Tennis Complex on the premises located at the south side of Salem
Turnpike, Route 1141 adjacent to 757 Turnpike Street.
Atty. Henry K. Hyder, Jr. stated that he is the petitioner and attorney for the
principals involved in this petition. There is a purchase and sales agreement with
the Dandeneaus and the area will be purchased regardless what this Board does.
Approx. 8.9 acres are involved. He read Section 4.8 of the Zoning By—Law which
allows tennis clubs.
Robert F. Hatem of Lowell, explained the project in more detail. He stated this
terms club would be a first in this area. There is an increased interest in
physical education and sports and this proposed club will satisfy a year—round
opportunity for children and parents. There are 5 indoor courts. He showed large
pictures and drawings and explained that the building would contain lockers, showers,
sauna baths, a large lobby with the second floor of the lobby providing seating for
spectators, a pro—shop selling supplies, equipment, etc., coffee shop; this would be
a private club, with memberships. The facilities would be used principally from
October to June. They will keep the trees and greenery and build on approx. 10/ of
the area. There will be no problem as to traffic and parking. There would be a
maximum of 20 persons playing on the courts at one time. The facility would cost
around $400,000 and have no plans for future expansion. They will just have a
tennis club and nothing more.
No one else spoke and there was no opposition.
kndummond made a motion to take the petition under advisement; Mr. Pickard
ed the motion and the vote was unanimous.
4
June 14, 1971 - cont.
Chairman Arsenault read a letter from the Planning Board in which they made
recommendations as to the petitions before the Board of Appeals. The Planning Board
was opposed to the tennis club because they are presently engaged in the formulation
of a Master Plan, a great part of which will be concerned with the future development
on Route 114. This also seems to be a profit making business rather than a private
tennis club as required by the Zoning By-Law.
Atty. Hyder said the letter is just a letter of opposition. Under the Zoning By-Law,
the petitioner has the right to come before the Board of Appeals.
3. HEARING: Anna Garon & Salvatore LaRosa
Dr. Beliveau read the legal notice in the appeal of Anna Garon and Salvatore
LaRosa who requested a variation of Sec. 6.31 & 7.23 of the Zoning By-Law so as to
permit the division of a lot of land into two parcels, both having less than the
required area and frontage, and the erection of a dwelling on the newly formed lot
nearer the rear lot line than the required 30 feet; on the premises located at the
west side of Lexington Street at the corner of Concord Street and known as 24 Lex-
ington Street.
Mrs. Garon explained that she would like to give land to her son-in-law; her
husband died and she is alone and the son-in-law could be nearby to help her out
taking care of the property, etc. Mr. LaRosa explained he is asking for 'a setback,
area and frontage variance. He showed a plot plan of the general area in which
there are other small lots. He said it would be a hardship if the variance was not
granted. Sewer facilities are available and the street is paved.
�
Mr. McAuliffe, Bunker Hill Street and Mr. Martin, Concord Street, abutters, said they
had no objection to the division of the land.
Dr. Thomas Ceplikas was opposed in behalf of his mother who is also an abutter.
He said the dwelling would be directly across the street from his mothert's home.
The entire lot has only 10,000 sq. ft. and already has one house on it. He doesn't
have enough area to start with since 12,500 sq. ft. are required with 100 ft. frontage.
A traffic hazard would be created from parked cars on the narrow street which is not
a hot-top road. A fence is presently there over 6 ft. high and on town property by
1-12- feet. This petition was rejected by the Board before. He also understands that
they plan to move a two-story house to this lot - the McCafthy house that is presently
on Manganots land at the corner of Concord Street. This is too great a deviation from
the Zoning By-Law.
Building Inspector Foster pointed out that there are other lots in the area that are
50x100. He also said this is a corner lot and any side can be chosen as the frontage.
Mr. Garon stated that the fence is going to be taken down.
Mr. Pickard made a motion to take the petition under advisement; Mr. Drummond
seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous.
4. HEARING: George H. Farr.
Dr. Beliveau read the legal notice in the appeal of George H. Farr who requested
a variation of Sec. 6.33 of the Zoning By-Law so as to permit the division of a parcel
of land into two lots, both having the required frontage but one lot not having th-
required area; on the premises located at the east side of Salem Street appro-
feet south from the corner of Foster & Boxford Streets.
r
June 14, 1971 — cont.
Atty. John J. Willis represented the petitioner and explained that Mr. Farr has a
first class development along Salem Street and has contributed approx. $11,000 to
the town to extend the 12" water main along Salem Street. He is requesting the oar&
F'
division of a parcel of land into two lots. There is a house presently on lot #3 d,. .-
which meets all of the zoning requirements; however: the second lot is vacant and
lacks only area. The lot contains 41,525 sq. ft. and 44,000 sq. ft. are required.
There is a frontage of 266 feet, which is more than adequate since only 150 feet
are required. No one else spoke and there was no opposition.
Mr. Serio made a motion ta,,take the petition under advisement; Mr. Pickard seconded
the motion and the vote was unanimous.
5. HEARING: Arthur J. Dufresne
Dr. Beliveau read the legal notice in the appeal of Arthur J. Dufresne who
requested a variation of Sec. 6.32 & 7.22 of the Zoning By—Law so as to permit the
division of a parcel of land into two lots, each having less than the required
frontage and area; and the erection of a dwelling on one of the lots formed, having
less than the required lot line setbacks; on the premises located at the south side
of Adams Avenue at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and known as 517 Massachusetts
Avenue.
Mr. Dufresne appeared on his own behalf and he explained that he wants to give his
son a lot of land so he can build a house. The land was purchased many years ago
so that the children could build there but when the present Zoning By—Law was
adopted it changed the lot size requirements and now he is coming to the Board to
allow the division of the land. His son Robert, explained that water and sewer
facilities are available. :")
Selectman Arthur Kirk spoke in favor of the petition because he feels that there
is a hardship involved. Building Inspector Charles Foster explained that there
are many small lots in the area; that this is a problem area and that none of the
lots there meet the requirements. In fact, the lot immediately abutting the
Dufresne lot is 50x100 and he would have to issue a building permit if applied for.
Selectmano
J seph Guthrie would Like to see them be able to build and thinks that
there is a hardship; they have to move from where they. are presently living. There
was no opposition and no abutters were present.
Mr. Drummond made a motion to take the petition under advisement; Mr. Pickard
seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous.
The Board then discussed the petitions of the evening.
1. RENNIE:
The members seem to feel this is not a proper petition to come before this
Board. Mr. Drummond made a motion to take no action for 60 days; Mr. Pickard
seconded the motion.
Dr. Beliveau then made a motion that the variance be dismissed because it is not a
proper petition and not within the Board's jurisdiction. This should be a matter
for re—zoning. Mr. Serio seconded the motion. Four members voted in favor of the
motion and Mr. Drummond abstained from voting.
June 14, 1971 — cont.
2. Henry Hyder, Jr. — Tennis Club.
Mr. Pickard made a motion to grant the permit in principle subject to conditions
to be made at a later date. The matter was discussed further and the 'members felt
that the conditions should be spelled out at the same time of the granting. It
was decided to defer action for 30 days and invite the petitioners back to the next
meeting for more specifics and also view the premises.
3. GARON & LaROSA.
Mr. Drummond made a motion to DENY the variance. Mr. Serio seconded the motion
and the vote was unanimous. The Board feels that to grant a lot with an area of
5,040 feet in a Village Residence district where 12,500 sq. ft. are required would
be in substantial derogation gat on of the Zoning By-Law.
4 GEORGE H. FARR
Mr. Drummond made a motion to GRANT the variance; Mr. Pickard seconded the
motion and the vote was unanimous. The Board found that the lot in question has
more than adequate frontage, 266 feet, which is more than the required frontage of
150 feet. The lot would be only 2500 sq. ft. less than the required area which
would be something less than a 60/4 variance from the area requirement. The Board
felt this was not a substantial change from the required area. The lot is unique
owing to its peculiar shape. An economic hardship would result if the petition for
a variance were denied.
5. ARTHUR DUFRESNE.
Mr. Drummond made a motion to GRANT the variance; Mr. Pickard seconded the
motion and three members voted yes and Dr. Beliveau and Mr. Arsenault voted no.
The petition is denied since a majority vote of the Board of Appeals is 4-1. The
three members that voted to grant the variance found that there were other small
lots in the immediate area. They also felt there was hardship involved because
the land had been purchased a number of years ago for the purpose of building a home
for his children and that because of the adoption of the Zoning By—Law they were
prohibited from building on the lot. They also found that the lot in question had
access to municipal water and sewer facilities. The two members that voted in
opposition found that the creation of a lot with an area of 6200 sq. ft. in a zone
where 25,000 sq. ft. was required would be too substantial a variance from the By
Law.

ARTHUR J. DUFRESNE:
The Board called the special meeting for this evening upon the request of Mr.
Dufresne for reconsideration of the decision dated June 16, 1971, which had denied
the variance,by a vote of 3-2.
Arthur Dufresne, airs. Robert Dufresne, Atty. John Willis and Building Inspector
Charles Foster were present.
Mr. Drummond made a motion to reconsider the petition. Mr. Pickard seconded the
motion. Atty. John Willis represented the petitioner and argued the motion by
clarifying the request for reconsideration and for the variance. The same information
was presented as in the original hearing but greatly elaborated by Atty. Willis for
greater clarification to the Board. The vote was 4-1, with member Arsenault voting
no.

June 30, 1971 — cont.
Mr. Pickard made a motion to GRANT the variance; Mr. Drummond seconded the motion.
The attorney for the petitioner argued the 'motion in than no additional evidence
is being given. There was legal precedent for granting the variance. The Board
felt there was hardship involved because the land was purchased a number of years
ago for the purpose of building a home for his children and that because of the
adoption of the Zoning By Law they were prohibited from building on the lot. They
also found that the lot in question had access to municipal water and sewer facili—
ties. There is a 50x100 foot lot adjacent to the locus which could be legally
built upon and which was similar to the locus. The Board found that it was not in
substantial derogation from the intent and purpose of the Zoning By—Law and that the
lot in question was unique. The vote was 4-1, with member Arsenault voting no.

Re: Special Permit/Site Pian Review 200 Chickering Road
Dear Ms. Bradshaw:
The North Andover Planning Board held a public hearing on Tuesday evening, December 3, 1996
at 7:30 p.m. in the Senior Center behind the Town Building, on the application of Scott
Companies, I2 Rogers Road, Haverhill, MA_018"t'-- i special permit under Section 8..3 (Site
Plan Review) of the North Andover Zoning,.,,_ -rhe legal notice was properly advertised in
the North Andover Citizen on November 13 and November 20, 1996 and all parties of interest
were duly notified. The following members were present:-Joseph V. Mahoney, Chairman,
Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman Alison Lescarbeau, Clerk, John Simons and Alberto Angles,
Associate Member. Kathleen Bradley Colwell, Town Planner was also absent.
The petitioner was requesting a special permit to allow to allow the construction of a concrete
masonry&wood. One(1) story 16,900 SF building for commercial use located at 200 Chickering
Road, North Andover,MA 01845 in the Business -1 (B-1)Zoning District.
Mr. Rowen read the legal notice to open the public hearings.
Peter Shaheen was present representing Scott Companies for Old Town Village a 16,900 square
foot retail subdivision. The property is located off of Rt. 125 (Rennes Florist) on 18 acres of
land. Some of the types of businesses that have approached the applicant have been a hairdresser, ,
Mailboxes Etc., and a travel agency. Mark Gross is the site engineer, he stated that there is no
residential property involved. The property is zoned B-1 surrounded by R-5,R-4 and R-3
residential zonings. Rennes Florist will still occupy one unit, it will be the in the front of the
building. There will be approximately nine units ranging from 2,000 to 1,000
SF to size. There
will be a green pedestrian area in the front provided with landscaping. The existing vegetation in
the rear of the building will be maintained to be supplemented with a 5' fence and landscaping to
buffer the residential area.
The original plan was to have two entrances and exits with one close to Farrwood. A revised plan
will eliminate the driveway access adjacent to Farrwood Drive. The Technical Review Committee

requested that compact car spaces be dispersed around the site, not clustered in one area and to
disperse handicap parking spaces. Fire access will be provided around the building. There are no
large delivery trucks anticipated. The elevation of the building will be broken up horizontally and
vertically. There were concerns about storm water management and the catch basins and whether
or not the drainage can be off site. The sewage will be pumped up to Rt. 125. The lighting will
be 12' poles with down cast boxes, and low level pedestrian lights. Safety lights at the rear will
be downcast over the doors. They produced a cross section of the site. The roof line will create
a false facade with roof top units hidden inside to buffer noise. An RDA was filed with ConCom
however the applicant requested a continuance in order to produce soil testing to the ConCom.
An ENF was filed with the state. A traffic study has been prepared. Town will hire an outside
consultant to review.
t
Mr. Simons asked why not orient the building towards Fanwood Drive.
Rayner Cooke the architect, stated that the reason why they faced the orientation the way they did
is because the sun faced the three sided greenhouse, also it was the best fit for the shape of the lot.
Mr. Simons stated that he would like it to be oriented towards Farrwood, for example a gate or
fence at the west end for pedestrian's to walk through to get to the shops.
Mr. Gross stated that they are going to screen the site from the neighbors to make it as least
intrusive as possible and consider pedestrian access if so desired.
Mr. Rowen was concerned about where the drainage will go.
Mr. Gross stated that the natural flow is towards Farrwood, but the plan channels the water to the
opposite side of the lot.
Ms. Colwell asked how they have designed the drainage.
Mr. Gross stated that there is an underground system currently proposed, but is more expensive
and is of high maintenance.
Mr. Mahoney question what kind of materials they are planning to use.
Mr. Cooke stated that they are going to use clapboard siding and brick with colonial style store
fronts and wood doors. They will have carved wood signs with outside lights. There will be
roofscape with dormers and windows to make a village theme.
Mr. Rowen asked about the slope of the gables and commented that steep roofs are preferred.
Mr. Simons is also concerned with the slope of the roof.
Ms. Colwell suggests that they take a look at the slope of the roof at Osco Drug and check plans
vs. actual.

Mr. Dermot J. Kelly of Kelly& Associates, Inc. reviewed the traffic study. The counts that were
done at the entrance of Farrwood and on Rt.114 estimated that 23,000 cars per day during the
week pass the site. These studies were conducted during the hours of 7:00 a.m. till 9:00 p.m. and
on Saturday during the hours of 11:00 a.m. till 2:00 p.m. there were 17,000 cars. At the peak
hours 1600 cars passed in the a.m. 1900 cars passed in the p.m. Saturday's peak hours showed
13 00 cars passing. Some_traffic growth needs to be assumed. There is only a 16' lane for
entering traffic. There should be no planting on the site entrance and, there should also be stop
signs at each exit.
Mr. Mahoney asked about how much more traffic is going;o be generated with the project.
Joe Bolen, 27 Farrwood Avenue is concerned about the traffic volume in the a.m. and p.m.
Peggy Walsh, 27 Farrwood Avenue is concerned about the traffic when she is trying to take a left
turn in the a.m. out of Farrwood, she is also is concerned about the dumpsite pickup and snow
removal.
Hillary Cannor, 98 Edgelawn Drive#7, is concerned about the orientation of the building and the
ability to rent the units at the end and is concerned about customers missing the entrance and
turning around on Farrwood Drive.
Mr. Cooke stated that not all retail tenants require visibility from the road.
Mr. Gross explained that no one would be able to see the building if it were oriented towards
Farrwood Drive.
Mark Johnson, representing the Condominium Association, is concerned about the traffic and
believes it should be revised with new entrances. Mr. Johnson also had concerns about the level
of service increases in the future with the level of traffic. He also expressed some concern about
the orientation of the building, and thought that the building should face Rt. 125 with a smaller
project.
Vera Curcio, 23 Edgelawn Drive, brought to the Boards attention that there was a denial for a
building on the site of Rennies in the past, based on the problems with the traffic and stated that
she will look into that more fully. Ms. Curcio also stated that she has checked with the State
Department of Public Works and says they have received no information on this project. Ms.
Curcio is against this project and feels that it will lower her property value and bring more
problems to the adjacent properties. Ms. Curcio also stated that she was not informed about the
meeting until a few days before.
Jeff Cannor, 98 Edgelawn Drive, expressed some concern about the sign that would be placed in
the front of the project.

Mr. Gross stated that they would like to have an identifying sign at the entrance and will have a
facade sign. They will be submitting a plan of the sign.
Jim McCarthy, an abutter was concerned about the hours of operation.
Mr. Bolero, was concerned about how long will the construction time be in affect.
fi4r: Gross stated that the approximate time on the construction would be about 4 months.
Ms. Curcio submitted a letter to the Planning Board outlining her concerns. The letter will be
placed in the Planning Board files.
The public hearing was continued to the December 17, 1996 meeting.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on December 17, 1996. The
following members were present: Joseph V. Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice

The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on February 4, 1997. The following
members were present: Joseph V. Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison
Lescarbeau, Clerk, Richard Nardella and John Simons. Kathleen Bradley Colwell, Town Planner
was also present.
Mark Gross of MHF Design, was present to discuss the traffic study. Mr. Gross stated that they
have filed an Environmental Notification Form. Mr. Gross has spoken to Mass. DEP.and Mass.
DPW and they stated that they are free-to go ahead and file for curb cut permit. Dermot Kelley,
President of DJK Associates was present to give an overview of the traffic study. Mr. Kelley
showed a plan with a single access as far away as possible from Farrwood Ave. A stop line and a
stop sign will be installed at the exit onto Rt. 125. Mr. Kelley stated that he has requested data
from the state regarding the number of accidents but has not received it yet.
Mr. Nardella stated that his major concern is the number of accidents that could occur. Mr.
Kelley stated they cannot determine the number of accidents. Mr. Mahoney asked if they could
90 'd ZVS6 989 80S -AOC -u►o' „ OAOPUV 44.AON VZE s 60 L6-o£-uno
get data from the Town's Police Department on the number of accidents that have occurred on
Farrwood entering and exiting.
Mr. Nardella asked what the distance is from center line of the access drive to the center line at
Farwood. Mr. Kelley stated 250'.
Mr. Kelley stated that Ms. Colwell, Mr. Hajec and himself went out to Chickering Road to
observe the traffic flow. Mr. Kelley stated that the traffic flows in cycles every 70 seconds. They
observed that the traffic flows from one direction for 30 seconds and from the other direction for
40-50 seconds. For 20-30 seconds the traffic is lessened. So people who are exiting and entering
Farrwood have 30-35 seconds of no traffic and for 45 cars turning onto Farrwood there was no
queuing.
Mr. Nardella asked the number of cars that could que up out of 200 Chickering Road. Mr. Kelley
stated that 3 could.
Paul Hajec, President of Hajec Associates, the town's traffic consultant was present to jexplain
what he has observed. Mr. Hajec stated that everything that Mr. Kelley has said is correct. Mr.
Hajec stated that they did not observed more than 2 cars at a time queuing. There could be some
traffic problems when Rt. 495 is blocked up and people use this as an alternative route however
that is a rare occurrence and is not one that the applicant should be expected to fix.
l�Cs. Lescarbeau asked what would happen if there was a dar turning into the plaza and there was
a car behind them that is turning into Farrwood. Mr. Hajec stated that they could use the
shoulder of the road. It is a paved road and the shoulder is Vto 10' wide.
Mr. Hajec stated a traffic light would have to be approved by the state and Mr. Hajec thought that
would be very unlikely. The traffic lights would make unnecessary delays and more accidents
usually occur when there is a traffic light.
Dave Johns of 209 Chickering Road, stated that it is difficult to take a left hand turn out of his
driveway and that people walk on the shoulder therefore it is very hard to pass in the shoulder.
Lisa Neukuckatz of 68 Fernview Ave. stated that her children walk on Chickering Road to and
from school and believes it is dangerous if people use the shoulder to pass.
Joseph Balliro of 27 Farrwood Ave. stated that he is a criminal defense lawyer and thinks it is not
a legitimate point to use the shoulder. 1t may be legal but it is not safe.
Peggy Walsh of 27 Farrwood stated too many things are happening (too many other
driveways)within the 250' of road.
Mr. Nardella asked as residents if they had any ideas to make the flow better. Mr. Balliro stated
that they should put in a dedicated turn lane and possibly a yellow blinking light.
LO'd ZVS6 889 SOS -AOO -WOO „Aanopuy ya..AoN t>£E-6o L6-o£-unc
Jim McCarthy stated that during the 20.30 second delay if there is somebody coming out of the
99 Restaurant or Bulgers Animal Hospital then the delay is shortened.
Mark Johnson who represents Heritage Green Estates asked that there should be no heavy trucks
on the site and questioned the level of service. Is E or D?
Mr. Gross responded by saying that they are not planning to have any trailer trucks on the
property just box trucks and are willing to put that in the decision as a condition.
Mr. Johnson stated that level D represents a condition with long delays to minor street traffic.
The levels go from A- F and A being the least amount of delays and F being the longest.
Chickering Road and Farrwood currently operates at a level of service at C or better. Under 2001
Build weekday evening peak hour conditions the service will decrease to Level D.
Mr. Balliro asked why the exit could not be changed to the back of the property. Mr. Gross
stated that access to commercial property has to be through commercial property and cannot be
through residential property.
Ms. Curcio, 23 Edgelawn Ave. questioned the zoning for the site. Ms. Colwell stated that the site
is zoned B-1 for business but is surrounded by residential property. Ms. Colwell suggested that
Ms. Curcio come into the Planning Office to took at the zoning map. If she had additional
questions she can review the zoning with the Zoning Code Enforcement Officer.
Continued the public hearing until the March 4, 1997 meeting.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on March 4, 1997. The following
members were present: Joseph V. Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison
Lescarbeau, Clerk, Alberto Angles, Associate Member and John Simons. Kathleen Bradley
Colwell, Town Planner was also present.
Atty. Peter Shaheen was present representing 200 Chickering Road. Mark Gross, MBF Design
Inc. the site engineer stated that the Conservation Commission has also requested review of the
drainage from John Chessia, the Town's consultant therefore he will respond to both the Planning
and Conservation drainage issues at the same time. ,
Dermit Kelley of DJK Association conducted traffic counts white Merrimack College was in
session as requested by the Town's traffic consultant and the counts were less than the original
ones. Mr. Kelley stated that he received a copy of all the accidents that occurred in North
Andover from Mass. Highway and none have occurred on Fanwood. Mr. Kelley stated that in his
opinion a left turn lane is not required. He is concerned about widening the shoulder as that may
cause traffic to travel faster along Rt. 125. Mr. Kelley stated that while Ms. Colwell, Mr. Hajec
and himself went out to the site people were turning into Farrwood and passed on the left hand
side.
80'd ZV96 889 809 'AOd -WOO -40AOPUV 44-AON Vb$r60 L6-Oc-unr
Sgt. Fred Soucy of the North Andover Police Dept., stated that a middle turn lane would benefit
the Town but it would have to go from Rennies to Mass.Ave. Possibly the costs could be borne
by all property owners along that stretch of roadway. He is not in favor of widening the shoulder.
If a middle turn lane is not constructed the roadway should remain as. If there are two vehicles
and one went to pass on the right there would be adequate space to pass.
Joseph Balliro, of 27 Farrwood Drive, asked if that was legal to pass on the breakdown lane. Mr.
Soucy stated that they need to determine if it is a breakdown lane.
` Lisa Neukuckatz, of 68 Farrwood Drive, stated that people will start to pass on both sides of the
street and make it a 4 way street and what about the pedestrians that are walking. Mr. Soucy
stated that there is a sidewalk for the pedestrians. ,
Carol Rennie, owner, stated that there has never been an accident in front of Rennies. Ms.
Lescarbeau stated that there was just one store there now however with this complex there will be
more.
Atty. Peter Shaheen stated that Mass.Highway has jurisdiction over Rt. 125 and the plans have
been submitted for their approval.
P.J. Piantadosi stated that these people live off of a state highway what do they expect. He would
like to see a mall come into this town instead of going over Andover to spend his money.
Ms. Curcio, of Farrwood Drive, stated that once the mall goes in the accidents will start to occur
just like they did when Osco Drug went in on Rt. 114. She stated that 9 accidents have occurred.
Jim McCarthy, Heritage Green property manager, stated that he does not want to see Rt. 125 turn
into a Rt. 28 in Salem, NH.
Carol Rennie stated that the mall would be a benefit to the town and it will have a country
atmosphere.
P.J. Piantadosi stated that the Rennes have,lived in this town their whole life and they are not
planning on putting up the mall and leaving town. ,
Mark Gross, site engineer, stated that there would be 4 underground systems designed to store a
IQO yr. Storm. Mr. Gross stated that'they have been before ConCom and they have asked John
Chessia to look over the drainage because they will be discussing that with ConCom.
Mr. Mahoney asked where the runoff would go. Mr. Gross stated that it would go into the
wetlands on the Renniesro ert .
P P Y
Ms. Colwell stated that the building inspector had concerns with the proposed drainage structures
off site and suggested that the applicant check with him regarding this issue. Mr. Gross stated
that all the runoff goes through the infiltration.
60' d ZV96 899 80S -AOa -woo „ OAOPUV y:"ON VS11 60 L6-O£-unc
Mr. Mahoney asked what would happen if the sumps overflow. Mr. Gross stated that the property
owner is supposed to maintain the system and keep it cleaned out. If it is not, silt will build up
and go through the pipe and to the infiltration system and eventually be carried down the system.
Mr. Rowen asked if something can be done to prevent this from happening. Mr. Gross stated that
a hood structure will be placed over the pipes to prevent garbage and silt from getting through.
Atty. Mark Johnson, representing Heritage Green, asked if the drainage that is going into the
` wetlands is on residential property. Mr. Gross stated yes. Mr. Johnson stated that he asked John
Morin, of Neve Associated to look over the proposed drainage and he would like to be put on the
cc: list when there is information on the drainage for this prpperty.
Mr. Mahoney asked what the building looked like in elevation, lighting and landscaping. Mr.
Gross stated that the original plan had all compact parking spaces together now they have them
spread out throughout the parking lot. The lighting along the parking lot on the opposite side of
Farrwood will have 12' high lighting standards that cast light down on the lot. They will have
landscaping with a stockade fence 5'high along Farrwood. There will also be a picket fence along
the front of the property. The signage will be reviewed by the building inspector.
Mr. Gross stated that the HVC units will be located on the top of the Rennies building in a pocket
to reduce the noise. Helene Wilder, of Farrwood Drive, asked what side of the building will be
facing Farrwood with the lighting issues and what about delivery times. Mr. Gross stated that the
back of the building would be facing Farrwood and the only lights that would be on the back
would be emergency lights on the back doors facing down to the door for security purposes.
There are no late night or early morning deliveries.
Ms. Colwell stated that there would be restriction on the delivery times written in the decision.
Mr. Shaheen stated that he would like to end this at the next meeting. They have designed the
building to be safe and the traffic has been approved by the Mass. State Highway.

parking.
Mark Johnson asked if there was going to be a buffer of trees where the fence is going to be.

conditional Site Plan approval. Mr. Shaheen stated that the only thing that remains to be done is a
perk test, which will be done on Friday. Ms. Colwell stated that there are other outstanding
issues. John Chessia, the Town's engineering consultant, received the revised drainage last
` Wednesday and needs 2 weeks to review them.
Mr. Rowen stated that not everything has been finalized. There are some issues that can be
resolved like the building, lighting and landscaping. Mr. Rowen stated he would like to wrap up
the traffic issue tonight.
Mr. Nardella asked what the number of parking spaces were there. Mark Gross, of MW Design,
stated that they have moved the compact spaces around. The required size of the spaces are to be
84" and they are giving them 86 '/2.
Mr. Shaheen stated that there will be no restaurant put in the plaza.
Mr. Nardella asked if the dumpster was going to be enclosed with a gate. Mr. Gross stated that it
would be. Ms. Lescarbeau asked if it was a compactor or a dumpster. Mr. Gross stated that it
was going to be a dumpster.
Ms. Lescarbeau asked how many units are there in the building. Mr. Gross stated that there are a
total of 9 but some can be combined.
Dermit Kelley, of DJK Associates, stated that the size of the road is 36' wide. Mr. Kelley stated
that the shoulder is 5'-6' wide.
Mr. Lescarbeau stated that even though you can't be cited for using the shoulder she is not going
to approve a plan which requires passing in..the shoulder.
Mr. Nardella stated that the road is not going to be lined for the use of the shoulder.
Atty. Shaheen stated that Officer Soucy stated that it was not illegal to use the shoulder.
Mr. Nardella asked what is the objection to spending a little money and put the road wider and
put the stripes on the road.
Paul Hajec, the Town's Traffic Consultant, stated that he agrees with the applicant's traffic
consultant and with the state highway department that a turning lane is not warranted for this
project. However, in the future, if there is increased development along Rt. 125, a turning lane
may be warranted along this stretch of RT. 125.

Mr. Rowen asked if the road were widened at this point would the cars then go faster. Mr. Hajec
stated probably yes, but it can't be said until it's done.
Elvira Curcio, of 23 Edgelawn Drive, stated that Officer Sou stated that this a State a road and
was wondering why there has not been a State Police Officer attend a meeting to address the
traffic.
Mark Johnson, representing Heritage Green Condominiums, is concerned with the traffic plan.
He questioned what would happen if you did not allow the passing on the right. Mr. Rowen
stated that cars would queue up.
Mr. Rowen stated that given the fact that the two traffic consultants and the State have approved
the traffic plan he would not require a center turn Iane.
Mr. Gross spoke with the town's engineering consultant and stated that the most significant issue
is with the down stream area. They plan to do a perk test. Mr. Rowen asked if they will have
enough time to get the results in by the next meeting.
Mr. Rowen stated that we will put them on the agenda for the next meeting but if they don't get
the results back in time we'll take them off.
Nfr. Nardella stated that he is looking for them to bring something back to the Board on a
proposal for roadway improvement. Mr. Shaheen stated that the applicant is willing to do what
ever anyone else is willing to do.
Tom Neve, of Neve Associates, is working with the condominium association stated that his
major issue is with the site drainage. He would like them to test every layer that exists and test in
at least in 4 different areas. Mr. Neve's other concern is the maintenance of the sub-surface
system.
Mr. Gross stated that the maintenance for these systems could be put in the decisions.

Mark Gross of N HF Design and Peter Shaheen were present. Mr. Scott stated that they did tests
on Monday and the water tables were higher and they addressed the issues and sent them to John
Chessia and he had
no major issues.
Mr. Gross stated that he could design a system on a 7 inch water table.
Mr. Rowen stated that at the last meeting the attorney for Heritage Estates had brought up some
issues at the last meeting and wanted to know if they have been addressed. Mr. Scott stated that
they did additional testing.
Mr. Rowen asked if they are planning on having a maintenance plan to include in the decision.
Mr. Gross stated that there are 6 pages in the drainage report for maintenance. Mr. Gross stated
that on site litter would be picked up weekly, sediment and underground tanks will be inspected
monthly and the water swale will be inspected twice a year.
The Board would like to have a maintenance plan put in the decision.
Mr. Shaheen stated that he thought we addressed these issues at the last meeting and both traffic
consultants agreed.
Mr. Nardella asked if we had anything from Sgt. Soucy. Ms. Lescarbeau stated that there is a
letter in our packets that states that you should not cross over the white line.
Mr. Shaheen stated that it is a line to show that the width of the road is almost at an end. Ms.
Lescarbeau stated that you are trying to make a bad situation worse by using the sides of the road.
Why don't you just widen the road.
Mr. Shaheen stated that at the last meeting we suggested that an inexpensive way to improve the
road would be to add a patch of pavement to the side of the road so people could use it. Mr.
Shaheen believes that if it is widened people might not slow down but, speed up and also they are
not allowed to widen the road without the state to say it was O.K.
Mr. Nardella stated that we a legitimate difference of opinion on that.
Mr. Shaheen stated that the applicant meets all the requirements for site plan review so they
should get the approval.
Mr. Mahoney stated that Mr. Shaheen is right if they meet all requirements we cannot deny them.
Mr. Nardella stated that he is not opposed for them to start construction and then widening the
road.
Mr. Nardella stated that when it snows and the plows are pushing the snow and it covers that side
of the road how are the people then going to pass.
£I 'd Zb96 889 80S 'naQ 'woo „40nopub yq.AoN V6£ =60 L6-O£-unr
Mr. Rowen stated that we have had 3 traffic people say that the road should not be widened and
that people would speed up if it was widened and that's not what we want.
Mr. Mahoney stated that he agrees.
Mr. Shaheen stated that the applicant might contribute to the cost of the road. Mr. Shaheen
stated that we are willing to do extra to get the approval.
Jim Mcartney stated that the City of Haverhill has approved to widen Rt. 125 and they don't have
` a concern with speeding. Mr. Mcartney also state that he would like the North Andover Police
Department to write a letter stating that it is legal for people to pass over the white line. Also he
would like it put in the decision that if the owner of the mall goes belly up that someone has to
maintain the drainage system.
Mr. Nardella stated that there will be a bond to ensure that you would be protected
Mark Johnson, representing Heritage Estates, disagrees with Mr. Mahoney. In section 8.3 1A,
the purpose of it is to protect the health and safety of the residents and people. This is a site
which has a building as big as you can get on the site. The drainage is not easy to get to and if it
fails the Heritage Green people will be the only ones who will get hurt. The building is so big
they can't even put a detention pond on the site so it is underneath. The traffic configuration is
not good for any of the residents. Mr. Johnson stated that his biggest concern is the statement
"we have met all requirements so you have to approve it".
,Mr. Rowen stated that he shares concerns with the drainage but it would have been fool proof if
Heritage green tie into their sewer.
Jim Mcartney stated that in response to Mr. Rowen's comment, would you like it if someone used
access on your driveway. It is private property.
Mr. Rowen stated that my point was that they denied them to tie into the sewer so they will have
to live with what happens.
Elvira Curcio, 23 Edgelawn passed out packets to the Board members. ,
Mr. Shaheen stated that he is looking for them to accept the site plan review and close tate public
hearing.
On a motion by Mr. Nardella, seconded by Mr. Rowen the Board voted 4-1 to close the public
hearing.
On a motion by Mr. Rowen, seconded by Mr. Angles, the Board voted 4-1 to direct staff to draft
a decision.

The Board agreed to set the bond for 200 Chickering Road for$25,000.
On a motion by Mr. Rowen, seconded by Mr. Mahoney the Board voted 3-2 to approve 200
Chickering Road site plan review, the site plan review was denied due to the fact you need 4
votes.
Mr. Nardella,asked if the applicant would like to know why they denied it. Mr. Shaheen stated
that he thought the Public Hearing was closed. Mr. Nardella stated that the applicant should
come back to resolve the issues of public safety and traffic issues. Mr. Nardella statedthat there
` is an open door for further reconsideration.
Ms. Lescarbeau stated that she does not concur with items 4&3 of the decision. Ms. L'escarbeau
stated that it that it is not an appropriate location, the building is not appropriate and it is a safety
hazard to the town and area. Ms. Lescarbeau stated that she does not feel that she can be
persuaded.
Mr. Shaheen stated that if it meets the bylaws then the permit must be granted, that's what the
law says.
Mr. Mahoney stated that they have followed the laws and statute. Mr. Mahoney feels that we
have no right not to grant this. In his view the applicant has done everything they were supposed
to do. ,
Attached are the conditions.
Sincerely,
