J410004
Now comes the Plaintiff, Albert J. Ouellette, and moves..
this Court, pursuant to Rule 56.of the Mass. R. Civ. P. to
enter a Summary Judgment in the Plaintiff's favor on the
ground that there is no genuine issue as to.any material
fact and the Plaintiff is entitled to judgment'as a matter
of law.
The grounds upon which this motion is based are as
follows:
1. In dismissing the Plaintiff, Albert J. Ouellette,
from the meeting of the,Zoning Board of Appeals, saying that -
the matter was "taken under advisement", the board violated
Mass. G.L. C.39 s. 23B by effectively precluding the Plain-
tiff from observing any discussion and.vote by the board;
2. The board violated Mass. G.L. C.39, s..23B by fail-
ing to make public a record of the meeting within a reason-
able time following the meeting.

DEFENDANT'S MEMORANDUM IN OPPOSITION
TO PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR SUMMARY
JUDGMENT AND IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANT'S
MOTION PURSUANT TO RULE 56C, FOR
ENTRY OF SUMMARY JUDGMENT FOR DEFENDANT.
INTRODUCTION
In this action, plaintiffs Albert J. Ouellette, et al.
("Ouellette") appeal a decision of the defendant Board of Appeals
of the Town of North Andover (the "Board") denying their
application for a special permit. Ouellette originally sought a
special permit to convert a two-family residence into a four -
family residence.
The plaintiffs' challenge to the decision of the Board
allege that the decision exceeded the Board's authority and was
made arbitrarily and capriciously. Plaintiffs have now moved for
summary judgment claiming that the Board violated the
requirements of G.L. c.40A, §9 by failing to file a detailed
record of its proceedings relative to the plaintiffs' application
for a special permit. The plaintiffs further claim that the vote
taken by the Board at the public hearing violated the provisions
of the Open Meeting Law, G.L. c.39, §23B.
As more fully set forth below, plaintiffs' motion for
summary judgment should be denied because plaintiffs have failed
to establish that they are entitled to judgment as a matter of
law. Rather, Ouellette's proposed conversion failed to meet the
prerequisites entitling him to a special permit. The record
shows that the grant of the requested special permit would
adversely affect the neighborhood and derogate from the intent
and purpose of the Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaw (the
"zoning bylaw"). In particular, the plaintiffs' proposal did not
meet the requirements of the zoning bylaw of the Town that the
minimum of two parking spaces be provided for every residential
unit.
Thus, for the foregoing reasons, the Board acted properly in
denying the plaintiffs' application for a special permit, and if
summary judgment is to enter in this action for any party, it
should enter in favor of the defendant Board of Appeals.

STATEMENT OF FACTS
Plaintiff Ouellette owns a two-family residential structure
located at 155-157 Water Street in the Town of North Andover (the
"site"). Plaintiff's Complaint Paragraph 2. For the zoning
purposes, the site is located in a Residential R-4 District.
On or about May 17, 1989, Ouellette filed an application for
a special permit under Section 4.112(14) of the zoning bylaw to
convert the two-family dwelling into a four -family dwelling.
Plaintiff's Affidavit Paragraph 3.
On June 13, 1989, the Board, at a duly noticed public
meeting, held a hearing, at which Ouellette appeared.
Plaintiff's Complaint Paragraph 5. Later, at the same meeting,
the Board voted unanimously to deny the application for a special
permit. Plaintiff's Exhibit "B".
During the public hearing, the Board heard Ouellette's
evidence in support of his application for a special permit.
Defendant's Affidavit Paragraph 6. The Board ended the hearing
on this matter and informed Ouellette that the application would
be taken under advisement. Defendant's Affidavit Paragraph 7.
The Board then proceeded with the other matters on its agenda,
including public hearings on other applications. Defendant's
Affidavit Paragraph 8. The Board then held a "deliberative"
session during which the Board discussed several pending
applications. Defendant's Affidavit Paragraph 9. Prior to the
end of the meeting, the Board voted on the matters which had been
before it that evening, including Ouellette's application for a
3
special permit. Defendant's Affidavit Paragraph 10.
Two days after the public hearing, on June 15, 1989, the
Board filed a detailed record of the proceedings with the Town
Clerk indicating the unanimous vote by the Board to deny the
special permit and setting forth the reasons for its decision.
Defendant's Affidavit Paragraph 11.
ARGUMENT
I. PLAINTIFFS ARE NOT ENTITLED AS A MATTER OF LAW TO THE RELIEF
REQUESTED.
A. Summary Judgment Should Be Denied Because The Plaintiffs
Have Failed To Establish As A Matter Of Law That The
Board Of Appeals Failed To File A Detailed Record Of The
Proceedings With The Town Clerk.
The Board of Appeals, as the special permit granting
authority, is required to make a detailed record of its
proceedings. G.L. c.40A, §9. Section 9 provides in pertinent
part:
The special permit granting authority shall cause to be made
a detailed record of its proceedings, indicating the vote of
each member upon each question, or if absent or failing to
vote, indicating such fact, and setting forth clearly the
reason for its decision and of its official actions, copies
of all of which shall be filed within fourteen days in the
office of the city or town clerk and shall be deemed a
public record...
On June 15, 1989, the Board filed with the Town Clerk a
detailed record of the proceedings held on June 13, 1989
concerning Ouellette's application for a special permit (copy
attached, Exhibit "A"). The detailed record entitled "Board of
Appeals Decision" and dated June 15, 1989 clearly satisfied the
requirements of G.L. c.40A, §9.
The record indicates that the Board held a public hearing on
4
the application of Albert J. Ouellette requesting a special
permit under Section 4.122(14) of the zoning bylaw to convert a
two-family dwelling into a four -family dwelling. The record also
indicates that all five board members were present and voting,
that the hearing was properly advertised and noticed, and that
all five members voted to deny the application. Lastly, the
record includes the grounds for denial of the special permit.
The plaintiffs claim that the Board's failure to file the
minutes of the meeting held on June 13, 1989 with the Town Clerk
within fourteen days violates the requirements of G.L. c.40A,
§15. There is no statutory requirement that a board file minutes
of its meetings with the Town Clerk. Accordingly, the decision
of the Board filed with the Town Clerk two days after the public
hearing satisfies the detailed -record requirement of G.L. c.40A,
§§9, 15.
B. Summary Judgment Should Be Denied Because Plaintiffs
Have Failed To Establish As A Matter Of Law That The
Board Of Appeals Failed To Compile And Maintain An
Accurate Record Of The Public Hearing.
The Open Meeting Law, G.L. c.39, §23B, requires that "a
governmental body shall maintain accurate records of its meeting,
setting forth the date, time, place, members present or absent
and action taken at each meeting, including executive sessions."
These records are public records and must be made available to
the public, G.L. c.39, §23B. There is, however, no statutory
time period in which the Board is required to prepare and make
available the minutes of its meetings.
Following the public hearing held on June 13, 1989, the
5
Board caused to be made the minutes of the meeting. These
minutes accurately reflect that a public hearing was held at 7:35
p.m. on June 13, 1989 at which all five members were present and
voted unanimously to deny Ouellette's application for a special
permit. These minutes, as are all meeting minutes of the Board,
are held in the normal course of business at the town office of
the Board of Appeals and are made readily available to the
public. Therefore, the Board complied with G.L. c.39, §23B by
preparing an accurate record of the Ouellette hearing and making
the minutes available to the public.
part:
C. Summary Judgment Should Be Denied Because Plaintiffs
Have Failed To Show As A Matter Of Law That The Vote
Taken By The Board At The Public Hearing Violated The
Open Meeting Law, G.L. C.39, §23B.
The Open Meeting Law, G.L. c.39, §23B, provides in pertinent
All meetings of a governmental body shall be open to the
public and any person shall be permitted to attend any
meeting except as otherwise provided by this action.
The meeting held by the Board on June 13, 1989 was attended by
Ouellette. The Board heard evidence presented by Ouellette in
support of his application for a special permit. The Board
informed Ouellette that it would take the matter under
advisement. At this time, the Board addressed the remaining
matters on the agenda for that evening.
G.L. c.39, §23B provides that "No quorum of a governmental
body shall meet in private for the purpose of dealing or
deliberating toward a decision on any matter except as provided
by this section." The Board's deliberation and vote at a later
D
stage in the meeting, rather than immediately following
Ouellette's testimony, did not violate the open meeting
requirements of G.L. c.39, §23B. Ouellette was free to remain
present at the meeting to watch the Board deliberate and vote on
his application.
Ouellette's application for a special permit was treated by
the Board in the same fashion as the Board treats all
applications of this kind.
For all the above reasons, the plaintiffs Motion for Summary
Judgment should be denied.
II. SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD ENTER FOR THE DEFENDANT.
A. The Board's Decision Denying A Special Permit Was Not
Arbitrary, Capricious Or Unreasonable And Should Be
Affirmed.
The Board's decision denying the special permit was based
upon the fact that the criteria for the grant of a special permit
were not satisfied. Specifically, the Board determined that the
plaintiff's proposal would not provide the requisite number of
parking spaces under Section 8.1 of the zoning bylaw. The
conversion of plaintiffs' two-family dwelling into a four -family
dwelling would require eight parking spaces. Plaintiffs'
proposal failed to satisfy this requirement.
The Board also found that the grant of the special permit
would adversely affect the neighborhood and derogate from the
intent purpose of the zoning bylaw. Clearly, the Board based
this finding on the facts presented by the plaintiffs and in
accordance with the special permit criteria set forth in Section
7
10.3 of the zoning bylaw.
The Board's power in denying a special permit is
discretionary. Josephs v. Board of Appeals of Brookline, 362
Mass. 290, 294 (1972). No one has an absolute right to such a
permit, Humble Oil & Refining Co. v. Board of Appeals of Amherst,
360 Mass. 604, 605 (1971). The Board, in the proper exercise of
its discretion, is free to deny a special permit even if the
facts show that such a permit could be lawfully granted. Gulf
Oil Corp. v. Board of Appeals of Framingham, 355 Mass. 275, 277-
278 (1969). Pioneer Home Sponsors, Inc. v. Board of Appeals of
Northampton, 1 Mass. App. Ct. 830 (1973). (The court ruled that
in acting on applications for special permits for multi -family
dwellings the Board is not limited to the consideration of
factors such as off-street parking spaces).
A decision of a Board of Appeals may be annulled or
otherwise disturbed only if the reviewing court determines, on
the facts it finds, that the Board's decision exceeded its
authority. This statutory standard has been interpreted to mean
that, in the case of denials of special permits or variances, the
discretion of the Board must not have been exercised arbitrarily.
Its decision may only be disturbed if it is unreasonable,
whimsical, capricious, arbitrary or based upon legally untenable
grounds. Pendergast v. Board of Appeals of Barnstable, 331 Mass.
555 (1954); Mahoney v. Board of Appeals of Winchester, 344 Mass.
598 (1963); Copley v. Board of Appeals of Canton, 1 Mass. App.
Ct. 821 (1973).
8
The reviewing court, may not substitute its judgment for
that of the Board of Appeals so that if reasonable minds may
differ on the conclusion to be drawn from the evidence, the
Board's conclusion will not be disturbed. Copley, supra, Dowd v.
Board of Appeals of Dover, 5 Mass. App. Ct. 148 (1977), Garvey v.
Board of Appeals of Amherst, 9 Mass. App. Ct. 856 (1980).
The burden of proof rests upon the person seeking a special
permit to produce evidence that the statutory prerequisites have
been met and that the special permit is justified. Warren v.
Zoning Board of Appeals of Amherst, 383 Mass. 1, 10 (1981). The
burden of proof is on persons seeking to convince the court that
the Board of Appeals exceeded its authority. Strand v. Planning
Board of Sudbury, 7 Mass. App. Ct. 935, 936 (1979).
CONCLUSION
For all of the foregoing reasons, the defendant Board of.
Appeals respectfully requests that this court deny plaintiffs'
Motion for Summary Judgment and grant summary judgment in favor
of the defendant under Rule 56(c) Mass. R. Civ. P.

Board filed a detailed record of the proceeding with the Town
Clerk indicating the unanimous vote by the Board to deny the

12. The Board denied the application for a special permit
for the reasons that the granting of the permit would adversely
affect the neighborhood and derogate from the intent and purpose
of the Town's Zoning Bylaw.
13. The Board also denied the application for a special
permit on the grounds that Ouellette's proposed conversion failed
to satisfy the provisions of Section 8.1 of the zoning bylaw
requiring two off-street parking spaces for each dwelling unit.

Dear Members of the Zoning Board of Appeals:
(617) 451-0750
FAX 451-1863
As you may recall, the plaintiff, Albert Ouellette, brought
the above -entitled action appealing the Board's decision, dated
June 15, 1989, denying an application for a special permit. Mr.
Ouellette sought a special permit under Section 4.122(4) of the
zoning bylaws to convert a two-family dwelling located at 155-
157 Water Street into a four -family dwelling.
As stated in your decision, the Board found that the
C`F)1?�Tcrc�-nn of the property i^tnc a fn,..'.r-fami 7.' dwebl l i T.rr wool d
adversely affect the neighborhood and derogate from the intent
and purpose of the zoning bylaw. Mr. Ouellette alleges, however,
that the Board failed to consider the current status of the
neighborhood. Mr. Ouellette also alleges that the Board failed
to conduct its deliberations and vote in public in violation of
the Open Meeting Law.
The case has been scheduled for trial on February 12, 1990.
I cannot predict whether or not the trial will be held on that
day, but I must assume that it will. I will appreciate the
Board's assistance in my preparation for the trial. I could
either meet with the Board or discuss this case on the telephone
with a member of the Board.

Re: Albert J. Ouellette v. Frank Serio, Jr., et al
Essex Superior Court C.A. No. 89-1802
Dear Members of the Zoning Board of Appeals:
(617) 451-0750
FAX 451-1863
As you may recall, the plaintiff, Albert Ouellette, brought
the above -entitled action appealing the Board's decision, dated
June 15, 1989, denying an application for a special permit. Mr.
Ouellette sought a special permit under Section 4.122(4) of the
zoning bylaws to convert a two-family dwelling located at 155-
157 Water Street into a four -family dwelling.
As stated in your decision, the Board found that the
C`F)1?�Tcrc�-nn of the property i^tnc a fn,..'.r-fami 7.' dwebl l i T.rr wool d
adversely affect the neighborhood and derogate from the intent
and purpose of the zoning bylaw. Mr. Ouellette alleges, however,
that the Board failed to consider the current status of the
neighborhood. Mr. Ouellette also alleges that the Board failed
to conduct its deliberations and vote in public in violation of
the Open Meeting Law.
The case has been scheduled for trial on February 12, 1990.
I cannot predict whether or not the trial will be held on that
day, but I must assume that it will. I will appreciate the
Board's assistance in my preparation for the trial. I could
either meet with the Board or discuss this case on the telephone
with a member of the Board.

The Board of Appeals held a public hearing on Tuesday evening, June 13, 1989
upon the application of Albert J. Ouellette requesting a Special Permit from
the requirements of Section 4, Paragraph 4.122(14) of the Zoning Bylaw so as
to permit converting a two-family dwelling into a 4 -family dwelling on the
premises located at 155-157 Water Street. The following members were present

Soule, Anna O'Connor and Louis Rissin.

advisement, and directed Mr. Ouellette to leave the meeting,
and that he would be informed of the Board's decision. (See
Affidavit of Albert J. Ouellette, attached hereto as Exhibit
A.)
9. Without further public hearing, the Zoning Board of

Chapter 40A, Section 15.
14. The Zoning Board of Appeals violated Mass. Gen.
Laws Chapter 40A, Section 15, in that it failed to make a

AFFIDAVIT OF
ALBERT J. OUELLETTE
I, Albert J. Ouellette, state that the following facts
are
true, to the best of my memory and understanding:
1. I own a two family home located at 155-157 Water
Street in North Andover, Massachusetts. I reside at that
address with my wife and family. I have lived in North
Andover most of.my life, and I am a member of the North
Andover Fire Department.
2. Over the past ten to fifteen years, I have observed
the neighborhood surrounding 155-157 Water Street change
from single and two family homes to multi -family homes.
3. On or about May 17, 1989, I filed an application
with the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of North
Andover, requesting a special Permit from the requirements
of Section 4, Paragraph 4.122(14) of the Zoning Bylaw so as
to permit converting my two family home at 155-157 Water
j� Street to a four family home.
II4. A hearing on said request was held on or about June
Ii13, 1989.
5. Board members present at the meeting were Frank
�I Serio, Jr., Chairman, Raymond Vivenzio, Walter Soule, Anna
O'Connor, and Louis Rissin.
6. Relative to my request for Special Permit, I was
ii the only person to address the Board at that public meeting.
I',
7. I informed the Board that the house next door to
mine had been converted from a two family to a four family
home, -and that several others in the immediate neighborhood
had been likewise converted.
S. After I finished speaking to the Board, one of the
members stated that he would like to take a drive by the
house. The Chairman then told me that the matter would be
taken .under advisement, and that I was free to leave because
they would notify me of their decision.
9. There was no further public meeting of which I know
or of which I was advised.
10. I received a written decision of the Board of
Appeals denying my application for Special Permit. This
decision was dated June 15, 1989, and evidenced being filed
with the North Andover Town Clerk on that date.
11. At no time did I observe the Board to make findings
of fact relative to my request for Special Permit. Nor did
I observe a public vote taken and recorded relative thereto.
Signed under the pains and penalties of perjury this
kyr day of July, 1989.
