Carter Farm Subdivision
Planned Residential Development Special Permit
The Town of North Andover Planning Board hereby grants the Special Permit for a
Planned Residential Development, known as Carter Farm Subdivision of 17 single-family
lots with three multi -use recreation fields, playground, town common and open space as
requested by Tara Leigh Development, LLC, 185 Hickory Hill Road, North Andover,
MA 01845, on August 9, 2002. The fore mentioned development company submitted a
complete application on August 9, 2002. The application was noticed and reviewed in
accordance with the procedures for approval described in Sections 8.5, 10.3 and 10.31 of
the Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaw and MGL c.40, sec. 9. The area affected is
located off Bradford Street in the R-2 Zoning District and is identified as Town of
Boxford Assessor's Map 4, Block 1, Lot 3 and North Andover Map 62, Lot 2. Parcels,
Town of Boxford Map 4, Block 1, Lot 3.1 and North Andover Map 62, Lot 138 are also
encompassed by this decision. The Planning Board makes the following findings as
required by the Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaw, Sections 10.3 and 10.31.
a) The North Andover . Planning Board properly retains jurisdiction as the Town
Boundary line between Boxford and North Andover has been changed per State
Legislature ratification of House Bill Number 5390 on December 9, 2002.
b) The specific site is an appropriate location for a Planned Residential Development
as the property is located within the Town's Watershed District and the PRD plan
minimizes the amount of disturbance on the hillside.
c) The use as developed will not adversely affect the neighborhood as this site is
located in a residential area and there is approximately 98 acres of open space
associated with the development. Part of the proposal is the provision of three
multi -use recreational fields for the town and neighborhood use.
d) There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians.
e) Adequate and appropriate facilities will be provided for the proper operation of
the proposed use.
The Planning Board also makes findings under Section 8.5 of the Zoning Bylaw that this
PRD is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Bylaw, including Sections
8.5 and 10.3, and that the PRD contains residential development and open space in a
variety to be sufficiently advantageous to the Town and promotes the public health,
safety, and welfare of the citizens of the Town of North Andover. In particular, the
Planning Board finds that this project will:
A. Promote the more efficient use of land in harmony with its natural features by
preserving additional open space, reducing the amount of clearing and
1
excavation normally associated with the construction of residential dwellings
on a site such as this, and facilitates the economical and efficient provision of
utilities;
B. Protect waterbodies and supplies, wetlands, floodplain, hillsides, wildlife and
other natural resources due to the preservation of open space, and the project
design minimizes and protects such natural resources;
C. Encourage the preservation of.open space. The applicant has provided greater
than 35% of the property as Open Space and has agreed to preserve an
additional 82 acres;
D. Permit greater flexibility and more attractive and efficient design of residential
development;
E. Meet the Town's housing needs by promoting a diversity of housing types.
F. The Planning Board also finds that a base density of 17 house lots is
appropriate for the PRD.

2. It shall be the responsibility of the developer to assure that no erosion
on the site shall occur which will cause deposition of soil or sediment

FINDINGS OF FACT:

intent of the Bylaw, as well as its specific criteria, are met. Specifically the Planning Board finds:
1. That as a result of the proposed construction in conjunction with other uses nearby, there will
not be any significant degradation of the quality or quantity of water in or entering Lake
Cochichewick. The Planning Board bases its findings on the following facts:
a) The proposed dwellings will be connected to the Town sewer system;
b) A covenant will be placed in the deed limiting the types of fertilizers that can be used on the
site.
c) The topography of the site will not be altered substantially.
d) The limit of clearing is restricted to the minimum necessary to construct the structures and
appurtenances;
e) A construction phasing plan and emergency response plan are provided.

Section 4.136 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw. The stormwater management facilities
have been located as to minimize the grading and earthwork required to complete the project
and restore vegetative cover as quickly as possible.
3. The project shall mitigate wetland impacts of the roadway crossing with a wetland replication
area of 6,040 square feet.
In accordance with Section 10.31 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw, the Planning Board makes the
following findings:
a) The specific site is an appropriate location for the proposed use as all feasible storm water
and erosion controls have been placed on the site;
b) The use will not adversely affect the neighborhood as the lots are located in a residential
zone;
c) There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians;
d) Adequate and appropriate facilities are provided for the proper operation of the proposed
use;
e) The Planning Board also makes a specific finding that the use is in harmony with the
general purpose and intent of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw since the use meets all the
performance standards and criteria of the Zoning Bylaw described above.
fl The project will extend Town sewer via Bradford Street and Barker Street.
Upon reaching the above findings, the Planning Board approves this Special Permit based upon the

to permit certain work related to the development of a seven lot residential subdivision shown on the
plans in Special Condition #1 below within the Non -Discharge and Non -Disturbance Buffer Zone of
the Watershed Protection District. Specifically, work within the Non -Disturbance Zone will include
stormwater management including surface and subsurface discharge, drainage pond outlet, and
associated grading. No homes, impervious areas or driveways of any kind have been proposed within
this zone. Work within the Non -Discharge Zone will include the roadway (Hawk Ridge Road),
driveways, homes, utilities, associated fieldstone walls and site grading. Additional work in the Non -
Discharge Zone includes stormwater management as surface and subsurface discharge, drainage pond

FINDINGS OF FACT:
In accordance with Section 4.136 of the Zoning Bylaw, the Planning Board makes the finding that the

appurtenances;
e) A construction phasing plan and emergency response plan are provided.
2. There is no reasonable alternative location outside the Non -Disturbance Buffer Zone and Non -
Discharge Zone for any discharge, structure or activity, associated with the proposed project.
All homes, impervious areas and utilities are shown in areas that are allowed by right under
Section 4.136 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw. The stormwater management facilities
have been located as to minimize the grading and earthwork required to complete the project
and restore vegetative cover as quickly as possible.
In accordance with Section 10.31 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw, the Planning Board makes the
following findings:
0
11/17/00

and erosion controls have been placed on the site;
b) The use will not adversely affect the neighborhood as the lots are located in a residential
zone;
c) There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians;
d) Adequate and appropriate facilities are provided for the proper operation of the proposed
use,
