The Planning Board herein approves the Special Permit/Site Plan Review for the
construction of a 2 -story clapboard and wood/metal frame 20,250 square foot office and
retail building located within the General Business Zoning District. This Special Permit
was requested by Jean Paul Proulx 1812 Turnpike Street North Andover, MA 01845.
This application was filed with the Planning Board on October 12, 2001. The applicant
submitted a complete application which was noticed and reviewed in accordance with
Sections 8.3, 10.3, and 10.31 of the Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaw and MGL
c.40A, sec. 9.
The Planning Board makes the following findings as required by the North Andover
Zoning Bylaws Section 8.3 and 10.3:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The specific site is an appropriate location for the project as it is located in the
General Business Zone and involves the construction of a permitted use within the
General Business Zone. The North Andover Zoning By -Law Section 4.131, allows
retail establishment and office use within the General Business Zoning District.
2. The use as developed will not adversely affect the neighborhood as a sufficient buffer
has been provided. The first 15 feet of the total setback abutting the residential
district shall remain open and green and suitably landscaped, this has been provided
along the rear lot line.
3. There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians. The
applicant has demonstrated that the curb radii for the entrance/egress driveways are
adequate.

as amended by the Planning Board, of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw;
