Dear Ms. Bradshaw,
The North Andover Planning Board held a public hearing on
Tuesday evening, August 15, 1995 in the Senior Center behind the
Town Building on the application of Flintlock, Inc., PO Box 531
North Andover, MA 01845 requesting a special permit under Section
2.30 Paragraph 1 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw. The legal
notice was properly advertised in the North Andover Citizen on July
26 and August 2, 1995 and all parties of interest were duly
notified. The following members were present: Joseph Mahoney,
Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison Lescarbeau, Clerk,
John Simons, Richard Nardella and Alberto Angles, Associate Member.
Mr. Rowen read the legal notices to open the public hearings.
Jim Bourgeois from Neve Associates was present. The plan is very
straightforward --proposal is to build a driveway to serve two
homes.
Ms. Colwell asked what is width of driveway?
Mr. Bourgeois replied 12 feet.
Mr. Simons asked where does the wetland begin?
Mr. Bourgeois pointed it out on the map: it's near the edge of the
property, and is 70 feet from one end to the other.
Richard Bradshaw, Boxford Street, stated that the Szelest family

Mr. Rowen asked if the water builds up gradually?
Mr. Bradshaw replied yes, but it drains gradually also.
Question was asked whether the adjacent land would be developed.
Ms. Colwell stated that she has seen some test pits out there, but
nothing has come into the office yet. She will request a letter
from the Board of Health.
Mrs. Bradshaw, Boxford Street stated that she has lived on the
property for 45 years and it is a natural cranberry bog. Children
skate on it in the winter, it floods that well.
Mr. Mahoney stated that he has not seen the property yet, and would
like to schedule a site walk for August 17th at 6:15.
Ms. Colwell to see if Jim Grifoni can attend the site walk also, to
discuss development of the adjacent property.
Discussion continued until September 5, 1995.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on
September 5, 1995. The following members were present: Joseph
Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alberto Angles,
Associate Member, John Simons and Richard Nardella.
The Board walked the site, and the consensus was that the parcel
adjacent to Duncan Drive should be developed in conjunction with
this property. The suggestion was made that the two property
owners should work together to try to develop the property as one
parcel. Dave Kindred and Jim Grifoni have talked regarding this,
and if the numbers work Mr. Kindred will purchase the property from
Mr. Grifoni. In the meantime, Mr. Kindred is before the Board
asking for approval for a special permit in order to obtain the
financing for the property.
Jim Bourgeois was present with the plan, and stated that concerns
about flooding will be taken up at ConCom on September 20, 1995.
Mr. Kindred told the Board that he has been talking with Mr.
Grifoni about purchasing the land and developing it all together.

There is not a lot of information yet, the wetlands have to be
flagged and additional testing of the soil must take place.
Mr. Kindred would like to continue pursuing his original special
permits plan, since it is not certain yet whether the property can
be developed as one parcel. He is willing to leave an easement
across his property to the Garagosian property.
Dick Bradshaw, an abutter, stated that we are in a drought
situation this summer, and the wetlands could be very difficult to
determine. He would be in favor or putting a common drive in, but
would very strongly oppose a roadway.
Mr. Simons stated that the plan as presented doesn't fly, there are
too many complications.
Mr. Mahoney asked applicant to work a little more on the plan and
come back.
Mr. Kindred replied yes.
Mr. Simons asked how long is the longest driveway?
Mr. Bourgeois replied 500 feet.
Mr. Bradshaw asked why is the property line five feet from my
property line?
Mr. Kindred replied that is the smallest wetland crossing.
Mr. Nardella asked how many lots do you expect to get out of the
land?
Mr. Kindred replied 12 or 13 lots. The Board asked the applicant
to revise the plan to show a fifty foot easement along the edge of
the property and revise the house locations.
Discussion of this matter is continued until September 19, 1995
meeting.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on
September 19, 1995. The following members were present: Joseph
Mahoney, Chairman, Alison Lescarbeau, Clerk and John Simons.
Due to the lack of a quorum, the Planning Board was unable to
continue the public hearing. The Board will continue the public
hearing at the October 3, 1995 meeting.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on October
3, 1995. The following members were present: Joseph Mahoney,
Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alberto Angles, Associate
Member, Alison Lescarbeau, Clerk, John Simons and Richard Nardella.
Dave Kindred was present.
Ms. Colwell had asked Mr. Kindred to bring in a revised plan. He
did, but it meant filling in an additional area of the wetlands.
The plan was satisfactory to the Planning Board, but ConCom would
not approve it. The ConCom did approve the crossing presented to
the Board originally, following the stonewall.
Mr. Kindred stated that he is in the process of negotiations with
the Giragosian's, adjacent property owners. He hopes to purchase
this property within a few weeks.
On a motion by Mr. Nardella, seconded by Ms. Lescarbeau, the Board
voted unanimously to close the public hearing.
Staff was directed to draft a decision upon which the Board will
vote at the October 17, 1995 meeting.

therefore, continued their discussions. The Board has 90 days from

Lots 1 and 2 Boxford Street
Special Permit - Common Driveway
The Planning Board makes the following findings regarding the
application of Flintlock, Inc., P.O. Box 531, North Andover, MA
01845, dated July 25, 1995, requesting a Special Permit under
Section 2.30.1 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw for the
construction of a common driveway to access Lots 1 and 2 Boxford
Street.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The application adheres to the bylaw restriction that no more
than two (2) lots be serviced by this common drive.
2. The design and location will adversely affect the
neighborhood as the proposed common driveway would allow
access to a lot that would otherwise be inaccessible.
3. The proposed use is not in harmony with the general purpose
and intent of the Bylaw as a common driveway in this location
is not the most appropriate use of the land.
Upon reaching the above findings, the Planning Board DENIES this
Special Permit.

Special Permit - Access Across Street Frontage
The Planning Board makes the following findings regarding the
application of Flintlock, Inc., P.O. Box 531, North Andover, MA
01845, dated July 25, 1995, requesting a Special Permit under
Section 7.2.1 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw for access other
than over the street frontage to allow access to Lot 2 across Lot
1 Boxford Street.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. Special environmental conditions exist on the site. A large
wetland resource area exists between the street frontage and
the buildable portion of the lot. If the Planning Board were
to grant this special permit, an additional house lot would be
created as the applicant would not need any additional permits
from the Conservation Commission.
2. The proposed use is not in harmony with the general purpose
and intent of the Bylaw and it is not the most appropriate use
of the land.
Upon reaching the above findings, the Planning Board DENIES this
Special Permit.

9. The following wetland resource areas are affected by the proposed work: bordering
land subject to flooding (BLSF) and bordering vegetated wetland (BVW). These
resource areas are significant to the interests of the Act and Town ByLaw as noted
above. These resource areas are also significant to the recreational and wildlife
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 DISAGREES with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource
areas as shown on the plan entitled "Plan of Land - Site Dev. Lots 1&2 Boxford
Road" dated 7/11/95. Off -site wetland resource areas exist and there
approximate location shall be shown on a revised plan submitted to the NACC
and subsequently approved by the Conservation Administrator. 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. 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. 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 to construct a common driveway over a bordering vegetated wetland
(BVW) and bordering land subject to flooding (BLSF) and a portion of a
dwelling (lot 2) within the buffer zone will cause further alteration of the wetland
resource areas. In order to prevent any alteration of wetland resource areas beyond
those proposed in the Notice of Intent (NOI) and approved herein, a twenty five foot
(25') No -Disturbance Zone and a fifty foot (50') No -Construction Zone shall be
established from the edge of the adjacent wetland resource area except at the
entrance crossing (between wetland flags A-16 and A-17). No disturbance of
existing grade, soils or vegetation is permitted in the no -disturbance zone. (See
Appendix 5 of the local Regulations) THE NATURAL RESOURCE/LAND USE
PLANNER AND/OR OTHER AGENTS OF THE NACC DO NOT HAVE THE
AUTHORITY TO WAIVE THESE SETBACKS AS ESTABLISHED UNDER
THE LOCAL BYLAW.
PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION
14. The applicant shall submit a revised plan showing approximate locations of off -site
wetlands;
C:\Winword\OOC\242-763.doc 2 NACC 10/5/95
• DEP FILE # 242 - 763
15. The septic system location as shown on Lot 1 on the plan referenced herein is
UNNACEPTABLE as it exists within 100' of an off -site BVW. A revised plan
shall be submitted and subsequently approved by the Conservation Administrator;
16. No more than 1,860 square feet of wetland filling is allowed under this Order of
Conditions. The NACC finds the applicant's proposal for 2,325 sq. ft. of wetland
replication to be INADEQUATE. The 1,860 square feet shall be replicated at a 2:1
ratio in the approximate location shown on the Notice of Intent plan (referenced
above). The replication area shall be constructed in accordance with the requirements
of 310 CMR 10.55(4). In addition, refer to Section VI(E), Wetland Replacement or
Restoration, of the "Wetland Regulations for the Town of North Andover" (page
13) for performance standards.
A modified plan showing 2:1 replication shall be submitted, and subsequently
approved by the Conservation Administrator, indicating existing and proposed BVW
analysis for the area to be altered and the replacement area; a construction sequence
indicating times of year for each activity; an erosion control plan; and a comprehensive
monitoring plan. This document should include the following information:
a) Species lists using both common and genus/species identification, describing
densities at each vegetative layer and discussion of vigor;
b) Proposed contour elevations for the BVW replacement areas and cross section
profiles showing relationship to existing elevations. Discussion should be provided
as to how the replacement area will provide similar and adequate conditions to
support the proposed replacement vegetative community;
c) Current BVW functions (including wildlife habitat) should be identified with a
description of how the replacement area will provide these functions. The
proposal should identify if the replacement is intended to be in -kind or out -of -kind
(with a clear discussion of the particular appropriateness of that selected to this
site) and if any of the existing vegetation in the replacement area can be retained
for replanting;
d) A plan of how the proposed topography for the replacement area will meet the
necessary hydrological conditions. Included should be a diagram of a planting
scheme and a cross section of the pre and post replacement area;
e) Provide the North Andover Conservation Department with the name of the firm or
qualified individual experienced in wetland replication which will oversee the
replication and provide detailed quarterly monitoring reports;
f) If additional soils or vegetation is required for augmentation, what sources will be
used?;
g) The boundaries of the proposed wetland replacement area shall be staked. These
stakes shall remain in place until wetland vegetation has become fully established;
h) Wetland plants in the wetland area scheduled to be altered shall be removed
carefully to prevent damage or desiccation, they should then be utilized to vegetate
the replication area;
C:\W inword\OOC\242-763. doc
3 NACC 10/5/95
DEP FILE # 242 - 763
i) The replication area shall be graded to its predetermined surface elevation. The
exposed substrate shall be protected against erosion until re-establishment of
wetland vegetation occurs;
j) The entire replication area shall be surrounded by staked haybales and trenched silt
fencing to prevent erosion until it is fully stabilized;
k) If at the end of the second growing season, compliance with 310 CMR 10.55
(4)(b)(6) and the local ByLaw is not achieved, the NACC maintains the right to
require additional mitigative measures;
1) The replication areas shall be constructed prior to other construction activity
on site and this sequence shall be reflected in the construction sequence.
17. The sewer lines on the site, where they cross wetland resource areas, shall be tested
for water tightness in accordance with North Andover DPW standards. The drainage
pipe located at the wetland crossing shall be maintained and kept free of debris
allowing for a hydrological connection and unaltered flow. This condition shall
be ongoing and survive the issuance of a Certificate of Compliance.
18. 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.
19. 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
which the land 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.
20. 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 Department of
Environmental Protection, File Number 242-763".
21. 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 implementation. If the NACC finds said changes to be significant,
the NACC will call for another public hearing (at the expense of the applicant). Within
21 days of the close of said public hearing the NACC will issue an amended or new
Order of Conditions. Any errors found in the plans or information submitted by the
