HEARING(S): October 8,
2002
PETITION: 2002-044
TYPING DATE: 10/15/02
The North Andover Board of Appeals held a public hearing at its regular meeting on Tuesday, October 8,
2002 at 7:30 PM upon the application of Kenneth E. Daher, 235 East Street, Methuen, MA for premises at
Lot 23B Blue Ridge Road, North Andover requesting a Special Permit from Section 9, Paragraphs 9.1 and
9.2 to allow for the construction of a proposed single family dwelling on a pre-existing, non -conforming lot,
within the R -I zoning district.
The following members were present: Walter F. Soule, John M. Pallone, Scott A. Karpinski, Ellen P.
McIntyre, George M. Earley, and Joseph D. LaGrasse:
Upon a motion by Joseph D. LaGrasse and 2"d by John M. Pallone, the Board voted to GRANT the petition
for relief from Section 9, Paragraphs 9.1 and 9.2 to construct a one family dwelling on a pre-existing, non-
conforming lot as shown on the Plan of Land prepared for Kenneth Daher and Owner: Peter C. Y. Li by
George M. Richardson, R.L.S., #24052, Stowers Associates, Inc., 11 Pine Street, Methuen, Mass., dated
September 10, 2002 on the conditions that the applicant submit a revised mylar.without "proposed dwelling"
and that the owner submit a stamped plan by a Registered Civil Engineer with a Geotechnical specialty,
showing soils, grading, topography, and drainage, and any necessary retaining system designs to the Building
Department.
Voting in favor: Walter F. Soule, John M. Pallone, Scott A. Karpinski, Ellen P. McIntyre, and Joseph D.
LaGrasse.
The Board finds that the applicant has satisfied the provisions of Section 9, Paragraphs 9.1 & 9.2 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.

Re: Lot 23B Blue Ridge Road. North Andover. MA
Dear Mr. McGuire:
I have been consulted by Kenneth Daher of the Daher Companies to render an
opinion regarding the permitting for residential construction on the above -referenced Lot
23B Blue Ridge Road, North Andover. Based upon my review of the title to the
property. the plans. and current Massachusetts case law, it is my opinion that it is
unlawful for the Town of North Andover- to withhold a residential buiiding permit for tris
lot. The owner can erect a residential dwelling on this lot by right.. without resort to the
Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance. The basis for my conclusion is as follows:
Lot 23B Blue Ridge Road. North Andover was part of an orioinal subdivision
plan by Bear Hill Development Trust and approved by the North Andover Planning
Board. Lot 23B has 150 feet of frontage. approximately 43.896 square feet of lot area.
and is located in an R-2 zoning district. On August 9. 1985,'Bear Hill Development
Trust conveved Lot 23B to Thomas A. Frangos and David L. Crowell. Jr. by deed
recorded at the Essex (North District) Registry of Deeds at Book 2021. Page 203. Lot
23B was not conveved with any other parcel. and was not held in common oxvnership
with any adjoining land. On December 5. 1985.'Thomas A. Fran`oos and David L.
Crowell. Jr. conveved Lot 23B to Peter C. Y. Li by deed recorded at the Essex (North
District) Reuistry ole Deeds at Book 2093. Page 1 15. Again. Lot 23B was not conveyed
1
I
with any other parcel. and was not held in common ownership with any adjoining land.
Peter C. Y. Li has lawfully owned Lot 2313 since December 5. 1985, and has not owned
any adjoining land. Thus Lot 2313 has been separately and independently owned from all
other adjoining parcels since at least August 9, 1985. shortly after the subdivision
approval.
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. Section 6 provides:
"Anp increase in area, frontage, width, yard or depth requirements of
a zoning b1!la►v or ordinance shall not apply to a lot for single or t►vo-
fannih,, residential use which at the time of recording or endorsement,
whichever occurs sooner, was not held in common ownership with any,
adjoining land, conformed to the then existing requirements and had
less than the proposed requirement but at least five thousand square
feet of are and fifty feet of frontage. "
Thus. Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A, Section 6 protects a vacant lot
in existence when any new zoning regulations become effective from any increase in
area. frontage. width, yard. or depth requirements if the lot has at least fifty feet of
fronta(le and five thousand square feet of land area. There is no time limit on this
protection, the presumption being that the single lot protection lasts forever. Ferzoco v.
Board of Appeals of Falmouth, 29 Mass. App. Ct. 986 (1990). Accordingly it is unlawful
to withhold a building permit for Lot 2313.
I trust that this information is helpful to you in considering the issuance of a
building permit for Lot 23B Blue Ridge Road. If anything further is needed. please
contact me.
VESTED RIGHTS
AND
NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES AND USES
PRESENTED BY:
CITIZEN PLANNER TRMNIiYC COLLABORATIVE.
This outline was prepared by Jon Witten for the Citizen
planner Training Collaborative's Vested Rights and
Nonconforming Uses and Structures workshop under the
auspices of a 2001 Municipal Incentive Grant from the
Department of dousing and Community Development to
the Cape Cod Commission.
that few special permits are approved and issued sooner than seventy to one hundred
days after application has been made and most are not issued until the statutory periods
have been exhwusted.
2.3 Single lot: 50/5,000
"Any increase in area, frontage, width, yard, or depth requirements of a
zoning ordinance or by-law shall not apply to a lot for single; and two-
family residential use which at the time of recording or endorsement,
which ever occurs sooner was not held in common ownership with any
adjoining land, conformed,to then existing requirements and had less
than the proposed requirement but at least five thousand square feet of
area and fifty feet of frontage."' °
The third protection of G.L. c.40A s_6 is the "single lot" exemption and should be
contrasted with the exemption discussed in Section 2.4 (common lots) below:
The single lot" exem Lion protects a vacant12 lot in existence when the new zoning
rew gluons become effective from any increase in area , frontage , wi , yard'or
10 G.L. c.40A, s.6.
" A single lot is one that does not abut property owned by the same party.
See Sturges v. Chilmark, 380 Mass. 246 (1980). "Thejudge was ...correct in ruling
that the plaintiffs maytreat as buildable lots each of two nonconforming lots which
`come together at only one point', that is ... two lots whose `relationship to each other is
like that of similarly colored squares on a checkerboard." Id. at 260. See also Clarke v.
Board of Appeals of Nahant, 338 Mass. 473 (1959) where the Court upheld the
conclusion that lots that adjoined each other for "about thirteen feet" were in common
ownership. I_d. at 477.
12 The single and common lot exemptions do not apply to structures and uses, but rather
only to v. acam land. This is consistent with the legislative intent of the statute: to
protect landowners of one to three lots from a zoning change that could render their
land valueless or greatly diminished in value. "There is nothing on the face of the
fourth paragraph to suggest that it was intended to apply to anything but vacant land."
Willard v. Board of appeals of Orleans, 25 Mass. App.Ct. 15, 18 (1987).
'3 Discussed more fully below, the effective date of a zoning ordinance or bylaw
amendment is the date the legislature (city council, town council or town meeting) votes
to approve the amendment. The effective date of a zoning ordinance or bylaw should
not be confused with the date of the first advertisement for the public hearing at which
the zoning amendment will be discussed. While this advertised date has an affect upon
certain categories of uses or structures, it is not the effective dateof the 2onan0
amendment. This semantic distinction is very important and is discussed in both Parts
of this Module.

increase in the buildable portion of a lot (protected as a single or common lot) was an
increase in area requirements and was therefore not effective. Schofield v. Tolosko,
Misc_ No. 153570 (Land Court, 1992). This reading of the statute would, therefore,
protect a single or common lot from increases in maximum upland requirements,
maximum lot coverage requirements and all requirements that are linked to minimum or
maximum requirements with any ratio requirements for area and building. This
interpretation may be too broad however and no case exists exactly on point. A strict
construction of the statute would interpret "any increase in area ... shall not apply"
literally. Left unanswered, however are regulations that link number of bedrooms per
square footage of land area or size of structures per square footage of land area. Neither
of these regulations would preclude construction of a single or two-family dwelling,
they merely limit the size of the eventual structure. See also, Cony v. Parks, Misc. No.
219911 (Land Court, 1999) where the Court held that a change in the definition of
"frontage" within the zoning bylaw would not be applicable against a lot held in single
ownership. Note that the bylaw in question did not change the numerical frontage
requirements, but rather the definition of the word "frontage" within the bylaw. Id. at
page 4.
s Frontage is generally defined bymost zoning ordinances and by-laws as that portion
of the lot that is parallel. to the road or way providing access to the lot.
us Width is generally defined as the minimum, distance permitted between a lot's
sidelines.
" The yard requirements of a lot typically include front, rear and side. The
requirements are expressed as minimum sctback:s; such that a twenty-five foot flout
yard requires that no structure be placed within twenty-five feet of the lot's front lot
line.
is A lot's depth requirement is generally presented as the minimum distance permitted
bctwccn front and rear lot lines.
u9 The following language is found immediately below the language establishing the
single and common lot protections with G.L. c.40A, s.6: "The provisions of this
paragraph shall not be construed to prohibit a lot being built upon, if at the time of the
building, building upon such lot is not prohibited by the zoning ordinances or by-laws
in effect in a city or town." This enabling authority has been interpreted as the'means
by which local government can grant greater protections than those afforded by Section
6. See for example, Seltzer v. Board of Appeals of Orleans, 24 Mass. App.Ct. 521
(1987), where the Court upheld application of the Orleans zoning by-law treating
certain common lots as if they were single ownership lots for the purposes of zoning
compliance. See also, Lee v. Board of Appeals of Harwich, 11 Mass. App.Ct. 148
(1981). "While itis generally the policy of zoning by-laws to freeze and minimize
substandard lots --- this policy does not vitiate the authority of municipalities to preserve
legislatively certain substandard lots for building purposes." Id. at 154_ But, see the
decision of the Attorney General dated October 12, 2000 regarding a zoning article in

discussion in Seccttion 2.4, below), the presumption is that the single lot protection Iasts
literally forever.
While the single lot exemption is extremely broad, it is important to note that the statute
does not provide "blanket" protection from all zoning changes. for example, the statute
specifically omits vested rights protection from increases in requirements pertaining to
the maximum height of single or two family residential structures or requirements
relating to how a structure's height is measured -21 Similarly, the statute is silent as to
t. when the protected lot is entitled to receive a building permit. While it is clear that the
lot is protected from most d1i iensional changes, the statute does not protect the lot from
an ordinance or by-law instituting grow�Eh timing regulations, building permit caps or
other phased development regulations. 22
Finally, note that the protections afforded by C*.L. e.40A s.6 apply only to amendments
to the municipal zoning bylaw or ordinance_ The statute provides no protection from
changes to the local board of health regulations23, local wetlands bylaws or other
ay directly or indirectly affect the development of the lot.

existence prior to the rezoning (the bylaw applied only to lots zoned for a particular
business use) than to lots created subsequent to the rezoning. The Attorney General
ruled that this disparate treatment violated the uniformity clause of G.L. c_40, s.4. See
letter from Ms. Kelli Lawrence, Assistant Attorney General -to Wrentham Town Clerk,
October 12, 2000, Case #1.255_

g." Ferzoco v. Board of Appeals of
Falmouth, 29 Mass. App -Ct. 986 (1990).
For example, a zoning ordinance that redefines the definition of building height from
the current definition of "measured from the mean height of the finished grade" to
"measured from the mean height of the grade prior to site work or grading" could have
a sigmificant impact on the completed height of a new structure. The single lot
exemption would not protect a lot from such a definitional change.
22 G.L. c_40A s.6 contains language extending the vested rights protection period for
definitive subdivision plans during the period that "a city or town imposes or has
imposed upon it by a state, a federal agency or a court, a moratorium on construction,
the issuance of permits or utility connections." Applying the principles set forth by this
clause to single and common lots, it seems reasonable to conclude that while the vested
rights of a single or common lot can not be disturbed, the exact point in time at which
the lot is entitled to a building permit has not been guaranteed.
zs See for example, G.L. e.11Is. 127P, which provides limited protection from new
health reguiations upon the timely filing of a preliminary, definitive or approval not
required plan. See also, for example, Independence Park, Inc. v. Board of Hcalth of
Ds n,�, q; Mac -e. App.Ct. 133 (1987). The statute does not, however, provide
similar protection for single or common lots.

"Any increase in area, frontage, width, yard or depth requirement of a

- - from its effective date or for five years after January first, nineteen
hundred and seventy-six, whichever is later, to a Iot for single and two-
family residential use, provided the plan for such lot was recorded or
endorsed and such lot was held in common ownership with any
adjoining land and conformed to the existing zoning requirements as of
January first, nineteen hundred and seventy-six, and had less area,
frontage, width, yard or depth requirements than the newly effective
zoning requirements but contained at least seven thousand five hundred
square feet of area and seventy-five feet of frontage, and provided that
said five year period does not commence prior to January first, nineteen

c.40A, s.5. The Supreme Judicial Court reviewed the question of what happens if the
five-year period commences after January 1, 1976. I he 'Town of Uxbridge argued that
the language within Section 6 governing common lot protection applied only to those
lots shown on a plan that was recorded or endorsed prior to January 1,1976_ The Court
disagreed. "We reject the town's contention that the statute's use of the word
`conformed" rather than "conforms" to precede the phrase "to the existing zoning
requirements as of January [1, 1976]" suggests that the plan and the lot must not only
conform at some date to the zoning requirements in effect on January 1, 1976, but also.
must have been in existence in 1976 and conformed to the zoning requirements at that
time. The town's argument ignores the, fact that the statutory language consistently uses
the past tense to describe all of the conditions needed for a lot to qualify for
"grandfather' protection". Baldiga v. Board of Appeals of Uxbridge, 395 Mass.
