must be noted that the project is located within an extremely environmental sensitive area and in close
proximity to Lake Cochichewick. Great care and consideration was taken by the Planning Board and
applicant to design a project that would better protect the Town's primary source of drinking water.
2. A covenant will be placed in the deed restricting further development of the entire field portion of the site
in perpetuity.
3. The use as developed will not adversely affect the neighborhood, as the project will improve the flow
of vehicular and pedestrian movements and safety within the site and Osgood Street and Great Pond
Road. Also, the applicant has proposed to preserve and renovate the existing structures, helping to
maintain the historic character of the site and the surrounding views toward Lake Cochichewick.
4. There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians as the consolidated access road
improves the circulation and flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic to 1003 Osgood Street and 1025
Osgood Street. The Traffic Impact & Access Study performed by Dermot J. Kelly Associates, Inc.
and reviewed by the Town's Outside Engineering Consultant,Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc.
5. The landscaping approved as a part of this plan meets the requirements of Section 8.4 of the North
Andover Zoning Bylaw.

Engineering Consultant,Vanasse,Hangen,Brustlin,Inc.and deemed to be acceptable. Refer to letters
August 31, 2006, and October 2, 2006 from VHB. Further, adequate safeguards have been provided
to mitigate pollutants from entering Lake Cochichewick.
7. The shared access/egress road and parking area results in a better overall and cohesive plan that
improves internal/external circulation of vehicles, pedestrians, parking, and emergency access and
provides for a more aesthetically pleasing and cohesive project for 1025 Osgood Street and 1003
Osgood Street.
S. A Water Quality Testing program for the site shall be incorporated as part of this decision.

The Planning Board hereby approves the Special Permit/Site Plan Review modific4 &W*n4Pation5

The modification effectively removes General Condition C of the site plan special permit requiring the
owner of said property to construct a youth soccer field in the existing open field and enter into a
contractual arrangement with the Town. In lieu of the youth soccer field,the applicant would provide an in-
kind contribution in the amount of$25,000 to the North Andover Youth Services for the purpose of
improving and restoring current athletic fields in Town.The renovated structures will accommodate 13,000
square feet(+/-)of office space and four(4)renovated residential apartments for a total building size of
17,843 square feet. Thomas Properties LLC, 231 Sutton Street,North Andover, MA 01845, requested
this Special Permit/Site Plan Review on May 3,2005.
The Planning Board makes the following findings as required by the North Andover Zoning Bylaws
Section 8.3 and 10.3:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The specific site is an appropriate location for the project as it is located in the Business Two (B-2)
Zone and the use is professional/medical office with associated multi-family residential.
2. The use as developed will not adversely affect the neighborhood, as the project is less intensive than
the surrounding general business and industrial land uses.The applicant has proposed to preserve and
renovate the existing structures, helping to maintain the historic character of the site and the
surrounding views toward Lake Cochichewick.
3. The proposed modification will further preserve and enhance the character of the site and area by
placing a covenant in the deed restricting future development and allowed uses for the existing open
field. The $25,000 in-kind gift provides a community benefit by helping maintain and improve
current athletic fields in North Andover.
4. There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians as indicated by the Traffic
Impact & Access Study performed by Dermot J. Kelly Associates, Inc. and reviewed by the Town's
Outside Engineering Consultant,Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc.
5. The landscaping approved as a part of this plan meets the requirements of Section 8.4 of the North
Andover Zoning Bylaw.
6. The site drainage system is designed in accordance with the Town Bylaw requirements. The
drainage calculations submitted by MHF Design Consultants were reviewed with the Town's Outside
Engineering Consultant,Vanasse,Hangen,Brustlin, Inc. and deemed to be acceptable.
7. The applicant has met the requirements of the Town for Site Plan Review as stated in Section 8.3 and
for Special Permits as stated in Section 10.3 of the Zoning Bylaw.
8. Adequate and appropriate facilities will be provided for the proper operation of the proposed use.
The facility will be connected to the municipal sewer system in the Town of North Andover.

Special Permit- Watershed Protection District Modification iT
The Planning Board makes the following findings regarding the application of Thomas'90 iel,OLLC, 1' 51
231 Sutton Street, North Andover, MA 01845, who submitted this application on March 25, 2005. The
area affected is located on Osgood Street in the B-2 Zoning District, Map 35, Lot 50. The applicant is
requesting a modification to the watershed special permit approved by the Planning Board on April 14,2004
for the renovation and expansion of an existing structure to accommodate 13,000 square feet(+/-)of office
use, four residential apartments, a youth soccer field and associated parking within the Non-Discharge and
Non-Disturbance Buffer Zone of the Watershed Protection District. The modification would remove the
approved youth soccer field out of this zone and the field would remain in its current natural vegetated state.
In lieu of the youth soccer field,the applicant would provide an in-kind gift in the amount of$25,000 to the
North Andover Youth Services for the purpose of improving and restoring current athletic fields in Town.
Work within the Non-Disturbance Zone will include stormwater management including surface and
subsurface discharge, drainage pond outlet,and grading associated with the stormwater system. No homes,
impervious areas or driveways of any kind have been proposed within this zone. Work within the Non-
Discharge Zone will include renovation and addition to the existing structure, construction of associated
parking, landscaping, utilities, associated retaining walls and site grading. Additional work in the Non-
Discharge Zone includes stormwater management as surface and subsurface discharge, drainage structures
and associated grading.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
In accordance with 4.133 the Planning Board makes the finding that the intent of the Bylaw, as well as its
specific criteria,are met. Specifically the Planning Board finds:
1. That as a result of the proposed construction in conjunction with other uses nearby,there will not be any
significant degradation of the quality or quantity of water in or entering Lake Cochichewick. The
Planning Board bases its findings on the following facts:
a) The proposed structures will be connected to the Town sewer system;
b) A covenant will be placed in the deed limiting the types of fertilizers that can be used on the
site;
c) A covenant will be placed in the deed restricting further development and the types of
allowed uses for the existing open field;
d) The topography of the site will not be altered substantially;and
e) The limit of clearing is restricted to the minimum necessary to construct/renovate the structure
and appurtenances.
2. There is no reasonable alternative location outside the Non-Disturbance Buffer Zone, Non-Discharge
Zone and Conservation Zone for any discharge, structure or activity, associated with the proposed
project. All structures, impervious areas and utilities are shown in areas that are allowed by right under
Section 4.136 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw. The stormwater management facilities have been
located as to minimize the grading and earthwork required to complete the project and restore
vegetative cover as quickly as possible.

surrounding general business and industrial uses;

2. Owners of the Land: Thomas Properties LLC

3. Description of Proposed Project:
The approved project entails the renovation and reconstruction of the existing farmhouse to accommodate 13,000
square feet(+/-)of professional office space and four renovated residential apartments.The site is a 3.20+/-acre
parcel of land bounded by Osgood Street to the west,Treadwell's Ice Cream to the north,Lake Cochichewick to
the east and the Stevens Estate at Osgood Hill to the south. The project is within the Watershed Protection
District,and a Watershed Special Permit was been filed and approved concurrently with the original application.
This application is to request a modification to the watershed special permit.The original permit required the
regrading of the existing open field to accommodate a youth soccer field.Since the time of the original approval,
North Andover Youth Services has stated that in lieu of the soccer field they would rather take an in-kind gift of
$25,000.This application seeks approval from the Planning Board of this proposed modification.
Understanding the above,we have limited the impact to any wetland or buffer zone to those listed below:
a. Non-Disturbance Buffer Zone(Within 250'of Lake Cochichewick,and 100'of all wetland resource
areas)
1. The requested modification would remove the approved Youth Soccer field out of this zone.
Regrading of the field to accommodate the Youth Soccer field will no longer be needed,
leaving the field in its natural state.There are no structures or work being requested in this
modification.
b. Non-Discharge Buffer Zone(Within 325'of Lake Cochichewick and all wetland resource areas)
I. No change from original permit.

The Board finds that the applicant has satisfied the provisions of Section 10,paragraph 10.4 of the

derogate from the intent and purpose of the Zoning Bylaw;rather it will preserve a nineteenth
century farmhouse and bam. Also,the applicant has satisfied Section 9,of the zoning bylaw and
that such change,extension or alteration shall not be substantially more detrimental than the existing
structure to the neighborhood.
Furthermore,if the rights authorized by the Variance are not exercised within one(1)year of the
date of the grant,it shall lapse,and may be re-established only after notice,and a new hearing.
Furthermore,if a Special Permit granted under the provisions contained herein shall be deemed to
have lapsed after a two(2)year period from the date on which the Special Permit was granted unless
substantial use or construction has commenced,it shall lapse and may be re-established only after
notice,and a new hearing.

resource areas to the identified interests.
C:\Winword\OOC\10030sgoodSt.doc 3 NACC 6/14/04
DEP FILE#242 - 1232
31. The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource areas on
the site as shown on thep laps dated referenced herein.
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 wetland resource areas a twenty-five foot (251
No-Disturbance Zone and a fifty-foot(501 No-Construction Zone shall be
established from the edge of the adjacent wetland resource area except for the
installation of a vinyl coated chain link fence. 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 Section 3.4 &Appendix F of
the local Regulations).
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.
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. Issuance of these Conditions does not in any wayimply or certify that the site or
p Y fY
downstream areas will not be subject to flooding,storm damage or any other form
of water damage.

Mr. Walter Soule,Acting Chair
North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals .
Town of North Andover
27 Charles Street
North Andover,MA 01845
Re: 1003 Osgood Street—Variance Application.
Dear Mr. Soule:
On behalf of Thomas Properties LLC, we are please to provide the attached Variance application
regarding the renovation and expansion of the existing structure at 1003 Osgood Street. The following is
a brief description of the proposed project, existing property, and the specific requirements to be met for
the issuance of the Variance as requested.
1. Description of Proposed Project:
The proposed project will entail the renovation and reconstruction of the existing farmhouse to
accommodate 13,000 square feet(+/-)of professional office space and four renovated residential
apartments. The existing farmhouse is seven(7)feet from the front property line.The proposed
addition to the rear of the existing building meets all required setback and will be less than 35' in
height.
2. Description of Premises:
The site is improved with an existing farmhouse,barn,driveways and open fields. The primary
use is residential,and the property contains approximately 3.20+/-acres.
3. Variance Application-Written Documentation:
a. The particular use proposed for the land or structure.
The existing use is residential.The proposed mix of office and residential uses are
allowed by right in the Business Two(B-2)Zoning District.
b. The circumstances relating to soil conditions, shape or topography of such land or
structures especially affecting the property for which the variance is sought which
does not generally affect the zoning district in which the property is located.
The structure is existing, and provides an attractive view given it's traditional
architectural style and location. Further, the property is within the Lake Cochechewick
Watershed Protection District, and although the existing structures are outside the 250
non-disturbance zone,a significant portion of the site is located within that zone.

978.470.8882 978.470,8890 fax
! Mr.Walter Soule

Page 2 of 2
C. Facts which make up the substantial hardship,financial or otherwise,which results
from literal enforcement of the applicable zoning restrictions with respect to the
land or building for which the variance is sought. If the variance is not granted the
existing structures would have to be demolished. By maintaining the existing building in
its present location and height,we can minimize impact to the 250' non-disturbance zone
of the Watershed Protection District. Literal enforcement of the front yard setback
would result in a new building, with pavement and grading encroaching closer to Lake
Cochichewick
d. Facts relied upon to support a finding that relief sought will be desirable and
without substantially detriment to the public good.By granting the relief requested in
this petition the existing structure will be preserved and renovated. It is our opinion that
this structure provides a unique aesthetic quality/character to the surrounding
neighborhood given its architectural style and setting.
e. Facts relied upon to support a finding that the relief sought may be given without
nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of the ordinance.
The renovation/expansion of the existing structure complies with all other dimensional
and use restriction of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw. The use in allowed by right in
the B-2 Zoning District, and the proposed addition complies with all setback and height
requirements.
L Submit RDA from the Conservation Commission when Contiguous Buildable Area
is applied for in ZBA application.N/A
We are confident that the plans and supporting information we have submitted are in keeping with the
general intent of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw, and are in the best interest of the neighborhood and
the Town of North Andover. For these reasons, we request that the Zoning Board of Appeals issue a
Variance allowing the existing structure to remain in place. We appreciate your time and consideration
with regard to this matter and we look forward to working with you throughout the approval process.
Please feel free to contact my office with any further questions or concerns.

Mr.Walter Soule,Acting Chair
North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals
Town of North Andover
27 Charles Street
North Andover,MA 01845
Re: 1003 Osgood Street—Special Permit for expansion/alteration of a non-conforming structure..
Dear Mr. Soule:
On behalf of Thomas Properties LLC, we are please to provide the attached Special Permit application
regarding the renovation and expansion of the existing structures at 1003 Osgood Street. The following
is a brief description of the proposed project, existing property, and the specific requirements to be met
for the issuance of the Special Permit.
1. Description of Proposed Project:
The proposed project will entail the renovation and reconstruction of the existing farmhouse to
accommodate 13,000 square feet(+/-)of professional office space and four renovated residential
apartments.The site is a 3.20+/-acre parcel of land bounded by Osgood Street to the west,
Treadwell's Ice Cream to the north,Lake Cochichewick to the east and the Stevens Estate at
Osgood Hill to the south. The project is within the Watershed Protection District,and a
Watershed Special Permit has been secured from the North Andover Planning Board.
The existing structures are pre-existing non-conforming,in that the existing farmhouse is seven
(7')feet from the front property line,and the existing barn is approximately forty seven(47')feet
in height.
2. Description of Premises:
The site is improved with an existing farmhouse,barn,driveways and open fields.The primary
use is residential,and the property contains approximately 3.20+/-acres.
3. Special Permit Application—Section 9,Written Documentation:
a. The particular use proposed for the land or structure.
The proposed mix of office and residential uses are allowed by right in the Business Two
(B-2)Zoning District. The existing building is a pre-existing non-conforming structure,
and the proposed renovation and addition will not increase the non-conformity of the
structure.
b. The requested use is essential and/or desirable to the public convenience or welfare.

Mr.Walter Soule
02/11/2004
Page 2 of 3
The adjoining general business and industrially zoned properties will not be negatively
impacted by the restoration/expansion of the existing farmhouse and barn. The
renovation is desirable in that the completed project will protect the historic significance
of the existing structure and surrounding views toward Lake Cochichewick.
C. The requested use will not create undue traffic congestion, or unduly impair
pedestrian safety. Driveways have been located to provide for the best available site
distance along Osgood Street. The project will not negatively impact the level of service
along Osgood Street, or otherwise impact pedestrian foot traffic on or around the
property.
d. Ability of the proposed sewage disposal and water supply system within and
adjacent to the site to serve the proposed use. The project will be connected to the
municipal water and new municipal sewer system available in Osgood Street. Sufficient
capacity exists within the municipal system to accommodate the proposed project needs.
A sub-surface drainage system is being proposed,and accommodates all increased runoff
resulting from the development. Please refer to the enclosed drainage report for
additional information.
e. Any special regulation for the use,set forth in the special permit table are fulfilled.
The project, as designed, complies with all special permit requirements of the North
Andover Zoning Bylaw.
L The requested use will not impair the integrity or the character of the district or
adjoining districts,nor be detrimental to the character of said neighbors.
The farmhouse and barn are existing structures, and the addition will be designed to
respect the scale and style of the original building. The surrounding uses are
predominately general business and industrial, and the renovation of these structures will
not harm their character or present use. Please refer to the attached architectural
drawings for additional detail.
g. The requested use will not, by its addition to a neighborhood, cause an excess of
that particular use that could be detrimental to the character of said neighborhood.
The proposed use is a mix of professional office and four residential apartments. The
surrounding land uses are predominantly defined by retail, office and industrial land
uses. The renovation/expansion of these existing structures for their intended use will
not cause an excess of any particular use, nor will it be detrimental to the surrounding
neighborhood.
h. The proposed use is in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance.The
proposed use shall not be conducted in a manner so as to emit any dangerous,
noxious, injurious or otherwise objectionable fire, explosion, radioactive or other
hazard, noise or vibration, smoke, duct odor or other form of environmental

pollution. Given the nature of the renovation, and the understanding that the proposed
uses are allowed by right, the proposed project is in harmony with the general purposes
and intent of Section 1 ( Purposes )of the North.Andover Zoning Bylaw.Further,as the
proposed uses are professional office and residential, there will be no long-term impact
on the surrounding area from excessive noise, dust, smoke, vibration or other negative
environmental pollution.
We are confident that the plans and supporting information we have submitted are in keeping with the
general intent of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw, and are in the best interest of the neighborhood and
the Town of North Andover. For these reasons, we request that the Zoning Board of Appeals issue a
Special Permit Approval allowing the renovation/expansion of this non-conforming structure as outlined
herein.
We appreciate your time and consideration with regard to this matter. Please feel free to contact my
office with any further questions or concerns.

Re: 1003 Osgood Street—Variance Application.
Dear Mr. Sullivan:
On behalf of Thomas Properties LLC, we are please to provide the attached Variance application
regarding the renovation and expansion of the existing structure at 1003 Osgood Street. The
following is a brief description of the proposed project, existing property, and the specific
requirements to be met for the issuance of the Variance as requested.
1. Description of Proposed Project:
The proposed project will entail the renovation and reconstruction of the existing
farmhouse to accommodate 13,000 square feet(+/-)of professional office space and four
renovated residential apartments. The site is a 3.20+/-acre parcel of land bounded by
Osgood Street to the west,Treadwell's Ice Cream to the north,Lake Cochichewick to the
east and the Stevens Estate at Osgood Hill to the south. The project is within the
Watershed Protection District.
The renovation and addition to the existing structure has been designed to harmoniously
integrate the new use with the existing building and surrounding landscape. The design
team recognizes that the views into,and around,this building help to define the character
of the surrounding neighborhood, and we have worked to best preserve the integrity of
the site. The site will be serviced with municipal sewer,water,electric,telephone and gas
service.
The existing farmhouse is with the 30' frontyard setback, and the existing barn is
approximately 42'in height. The proposed addition to the rear of the building meets all
required setback and will be less than 35' in height.As a result, it is our opinion that the
granting of a variance providing relief for the existing structure does not derogate from
the purpose and intent of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw,and will not be detrimental to
the surrounding neighborhood.

2. Description of Premises:
The site is improved with an existing farmhouse,barn,driveways and open fields. The
primary use is residential, and the property contains approximately 3.20+/-acres.
3. Special Permit Application—Section 9,Written Documentation:
a. The particular use proposed for the land or structure.
The existing use is residential. The proposed mix of office and residential uses are
allowed by right in the Business Two (B-2)Zoning District.
b. The circumstances relating to soil conditions, shape or topography of such
land or structures especially affecting the property for which the variance is
sought which does not generally affect the zoning district in which the
property is located.
The structure is existing, and provides an attractive view to those passing by given
it's traditional architectural style and location. Further, the property is within the
Lake Cochechewick Watershed Protection District, and although the existing
structures are outside the 250 non-disturbance zone, a significant portion of the
site is located within that zone.
C. Facts which make up the substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, which
results from literal enforcement of the applicable zoning restrictions with
respect to the land or building for which the variance is sought. If the variance
is not granted the existing structures would have to be demolished. By
maintaining the existing building in its present location and height, we can
minimize impact to the 250' non-disturbance zone of the Watershed Protection
District. Literal enforcement of the front yard setback and height limitation would
result in a new building, with pavement and grading encroaching closer to Lake
Cochichewick
d. Facts relied upon to support a finding that relief sought will be desirable and
without substantially detriment to the public good. By granting the relief
requested in this petition the existing structure will be preserved and renovated. It
is our opinion that this structure provides a unique aesthetic quality/character to
the surrounding neighborhood given its architectural style and setting.
e. Facts relied upon to support a finding that the relief sought may be given
without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of
the ordinance. The renovation/expansion of the existing structure complies with
Mr.William Sullivan
01/15/2004
Page 3 of 3
all other dimensional and use restriction of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw.
The use in allowed by right in the B-2 Zoning District, and the proposed addition
complies with all setback and height requirements.
f. Submit RDA from the Conservation Commission when Contiguous Buildable
Area is applied for in ZBA application.N/A
We are confident that the plans and supporting information we have submitted are in keeping
with the general intent of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw, and are in the best interest of the
neighborhood and the Town of North Andover. For these reasons, we request that the Zoning
Board of Appeals issue a Variance allowing the existing structure to remain in place. As you may
already be aware, the project has received a Watershed Special Permit and Site Plan Review
approval from the North Andover Planning Board,with the condition that we secure any required
approvals from the Zoning Board of Appeals prior to the start of any construction.
We appreciate your time and consideration with regard to this matter and we look forward to
working with you throughout the approval process. Please feel free to contact my office with any
further questions or concerns.
