HORNBECK & ASSOCIATES, INC. • LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE 23 May 1986 Frank Serio, Jr. - Chairman Board of Appeals Town of North Andover North Andover, MA 01845 Dear Mr. Serio: I have watched the construction of the Old Center parking area with a sequence of reactions: pleasure, disturbance and finally, with great disappointment. First, pleasure - that work was beginning, after working with so many organizations and individuals to help embody their thoughts and wishes in this project of civic importance in the Old Center. Then, disturbed, as no contact was ever made to this office as work progressed - on a project put together here. Lastly, with considerable disappointment, to find that the layout, embodying the wishes and thought of many groups and individuals was not followed. Mr. Cyr was involved in the development of the layout and all of his suggestions were included. I am very embarassed for the many individuals who participated and helped with the plan which was approved but then ignored - and disappointed to find instead a layout which would appear not to work very well, waste spaces and, frankly, is an intrusion in the Old Center. I think these problems could be largely solved with ammendments to the Johnson Street end of the area. Shouldn't the wishes and concerns of the community be considered? Yours sincerely, Peter L. Hornbeck, A.S.L.A. plh/mcc 3 Johnson Street, North Andover, Massachusetts 01845 Telephone: 617-682-6116, 6624, 6731 'Fn� S fin , May 18, 19P6 To: Board of Selectmen From: Eugene H. Avrett, Center Study Committee Subject: Parking Lot in the Old Center Last fall the Selectmen authorized a site survey of the Town - owned property on Johnson Street between the Cochichewick Lodge and the Community Center. (See attached news article.) Using the results of this site survey, the Old Center Study Committee engaged Peter Hornbeck, a professional landscape architect, to determine the optimum layout of a parking lot on the property, as well as associated street improvements, and to draw a detailed plan for the Town to consider. Such a plan was first circulated among the Town Departments and received approval except for minor changes suggested to facilitate snow- plowing and pedestrian access. This plan also was submitted to the Board of Appeals to obtain a special permit. This permit was granted based on the submitted plan. (See attached Notice of Decision.) The Old Center Study Committee met on December 3, 1985 and approved the final version of the plan, which was then forwarded to the Selectmen.. (See attached minutes.) Buddy Cyr attended this meeting, voted to approve the plan, and did not mention any disagreement with any feature of the plan. He received copies of the plan at that meeting. Karen Nelson forwarded the plan to James D. D'Angelo, who had offered to provide additional engineering specifications, but Mr. D'Angelo never responded. Thus, nothing was done over the winter to prepare for construction. Several weeks ago, Mr. Cyr began the street work indicated on the plan associated with the parking lot (relocation of street drains and telephone poles, and installation of granite curbing). Two weeks ago, Karen asked Buddy if he would also construct the parking lot, and she told me that Buddy said "No". Karen and I then called Keith Bergman to suggest that he speak to Buddy on behalf of the Selectmen to see if the Highway Department would construct the parking lot according to the approved plan in return for a transfer of the funds for this purpose voted at the 1985 Town Meeting. Last week, the granite curbing for the parking lot was installed, but it was not installed according to the plan (copy attached). Four basic features are wrong: 1) The plan calls for two double -width entrances from the street centered on each of the two parking bays. Only one entrance has been installed, in the middle, which presents an awkward circulation pattern. 2) The curb near the Cochichewick Lodge was supposed to be located 5 feet away from the property boundary,which is 20 feet from the Lodge building. Thus this curb was to be 25 feet from the building. This curb has been installed 18 feet from the building, and therefore is located on Lodge property. The reason for the location of this curb was to allow the row of tall evergreen trees along the Lodge property to remain undisturbed. Instead, all of these trees have been removed (from property not owned by the Town) by the North Andover Tree Department. 3) The plan showed no curbing separating the two double Parking bays. Painted lines were specified instead. Contrary to the plan, a four foot wide granite curbed strip has been installed, which is too narrow for any tree planting, The curb near the Lodge may have been moved over to make room for this unnecessary dividing strip. 4) The plan has a 45-50 foot setback for lawn and trees between the street and the parking lot. The curbing that has been installed reduces this to about 20 feet. There are other miscellaneous problems: so much fill has been brought in that the grade near Johnson Street is higher than the street rather than lower as specified in the plan; the base and the underground wiring for a light near the rear of the parking lot has not been installed; there are large rocks and other debris at the rear of the lot that probably should be removed. It seems to me that the Selectmen should require that the approved plan be followed. The changes listed below might be considered. a) Lower grade to drain away from street. b) Remove the present middle entrance and install two entrances alligned with the two parking bays according to the plan, and maintain the 45-50 foot setback specified in the plan. c) Remove center strip. Install underground wiring and post for light. d) Relocate curb near Lodge as shown on plan (25 feet from building instead of 18 feet). e)Plant new row of trees to replace those removed contrary to plan. f) Remove large rocks and debris as necessary at rear of site. copies to: Buddy Cyr Leo Lct�omc Karen Nelson Frank Serio, Jr. Peter Hornbeck Old Center Study Committee r r , co CL T c E u • • u 3'C O Q Qo E �a O .+ c �.9 ECr'oUw, 00 y �i GE.oca.��3 ° V e a ax ~ O Qi X11 e� C �O G a u— c '.3' «+ •• y v O .0 o 0U ov o3 0 0O, CO 0 A ° 3� u u C u v E G• ° o 3 ° rn T u >.0 ocac ' «• a E -. cc c c o c y'u y u 3 E,°' a °' `" E �'- a L E N« .O .ci C C°° O U .� 0. 0. .a �+r u u E c c O •; •v o H o E o� o E u C: 3 o E .= O. y '� c u C N O oo 3 3 3 3 o E c E eco 3 `o Co c c U u R a CQ c v X00° v- 3:000 o�F. 3 ° 3 3.0 _ v o r t4 o bo 0 o �v V- �u 03'�o.So�aC, c'Eo v E u H 3 0. •N -O 0o 0. �. y CQ y C L G >, c c O R 0.° O 0 "l (n LO c " y bo 0 C' � C 'V to to y3C y6j°'oo w 0.

The meeting was attended by David M. Blanchard, Peter L Hornbeck, William J. Sullivan and committee members, Mrs. Hayden Clark, William A. Cyr, Thomas W. Leavitt, Karen Nelson, Howard M. -Thomson and Eugene H. Avrett. Mr. Hornbeck presented a plan for the parking lot in the Old Center and for associated changes in the west side of Johnson Street between the Brick Store and the Community Center. He indicated that a number of adjustments had been made in the earlier park- ing lot plan presented to and approved by the North Andover Board of Appeals, in order to facilitate snow plowing and pedestrian access. Mr. Avrett reported that the Cochichewick Lodge had agreed to the suggestion that their two driveway openings on Johnson Street be closed off and that, instead, a connection be provided between their back parking area and the new parking lot. Consequently, the new plans include such a connection to their back parking area and a continuous curb along Johnson Street between the Brick Store and the new parking lot. • Mr. Sullivan asked for further study of the street boundary between the Brick Store and the new parking lot to see if a number of diagonal parking spaces might be provided. Mr. Thomson asked whether one entrance to the parking lot might be better than two and whether, diagonal pakring within the lot might be better than perpendicular park- ing. Mr. Hornbeck explained that both alternatives would reduce the number of avail- able parking spaces, and efficency for circulation -and that the landscaped setback from the street that is in the plan would avoid the appearance of excessive paving. It was moved, seconded, and unanimously VOTED to ACCEPT the parking lot and street plans and to recommend to the .Selectmen that these plans be used for the construction of the parking lot and for related street improvements. Ms. Nelson agreed to forward copies of the plans to the Selectmen and to James D. D'Angelo, who has offered to prepare engineering specifications. Mr. Cyr agreed to review the proposed street changes, including curbing,'relocation of catch basins, and relocation of•two telephone poles. Mr. Leavitt announced that the Museum of American Textile History plans to donate a tree.to be planted on Johnson Street at the entrance to the parking lot, in honor of the late Raymond Ryan who lived and worked in the Old Center for many years.
