PLANNING;"PARTMENT
Dear Heidi:
As Mike Famola mentioned at your recent meeting, Brooks School is interested in
constructing additional faculty housing. The proposed project is a pair of duplex
residences to house four families. Proposed location is adjacent to the existing Russell
House—see attached campus plan.
Enclosed is a conceptual site plan and architectural sketches of the buildings. Total
floor area is 8,700 sq. ft., of which 1,000 sq. ft. is garage space. The sole purpose is
residential—no classes or other school functions will take place in these structures.
The site is in the General Zone of the Watershed Protection District. Enclosed is a
plan showing the Watershed Protection District zones with project location.
Section 8.3.2.b.i of the Town Zoning Bylaw states that two family dwellings are exempt
from site plan review. We respectfully request a determination whether this project
qualifies for that exemption.
If the project is not exempt, we need to know in time to submit our application on or
before July 6, 2001, to appear before the Board on August 7, 2001.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

Mr. Daniel Long, Town Clerk

Brooks School -
1160 Great Pond Road
Dear Mr. Long:
The North Andover Planning Board held a public hearing on June
29 , 1993 in the Senior Center behind the Town Building upon the
application of Brooks School, requesting site plan approval under
Section 8 . 3 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw. The legal notice
was published in the Lawrence Eagle Tribune on June 14 and June 21,
1993 and all parties of interest were properly notified. The
following members were present: John Simons, Acting Chairman,
Joseph Mahoney, Clerk, Richard Rowen, John Draper and George Perna,
Associate Member.
The petitioner was requesting site plan approval for the
construction of a new library and business office for a total of
30, 133 sq. ft. The premises affected is located at 1160 Great Pond
Road, in a Residential-1 (R-1) Zoning District.
Representing Brooks School at the meeting were Tom Amsler,
Kevin Burke, Bruce Norelius and Frank Marino.
Mr. Mahoney read the legal notice to open the public hearing.
Ms. Bradley gave the Board an overview of .the Technical Review
Committee meetings.
Proposed:
1. 2 story brick building
2 . white washed brick to match clapboard houses
3 . elevations shown on the plans
4 . Landscaped terrace
5. New water service from Great Pond Road - only
construction
a. trenching changing to existing valves.
Page 2:
Brooks School
Mr. Simons asked how close the building was from the wetlands.
The answer was "greater than 600 feet" . The only work in the
buffer zone is to plug the ends of the pipe. A special permit may
be needed to excavate in the wetland area and buffer zone to plug
existing pipe and clear old drain.
Mr. Mahoney asked if there were parking issues. The proposed
building would not increase school population or traffic but a new
driveway would be created out to the lake. No traffic would go
through the center of campus, pedestrian way in the future. There
wol;.ld be a net gain of 3 parking spaces.
Mr. Marino expressed concern about speed of cars through the
center of campus, safety concerns.
Mr. Perna asked where the mechanicals for the building would
be. The answer was "air conditioning sunk into wall, there would
be no roof top equipment" .
Landscape Site Plan:
Trees with black dots are existing trees, low maintenance
landscaping, grassed terrace with flower bed above the building
office.
Lights shown on the plans as black dots with yellow
highlighting. The applicants would like to continue concept of
