Mr. Daniel Long, Town Clerk

North Andover, MA 01845 Re: Special Permit -
247 Farnum Street -
Common Driveway
Dear Mr. Long:
The North Andover Planning Board held a public hearing on July
20, 1993 in the Senior Center behind the Town Building upon the
application of Brian Lawlor, 566 Main Street, North Andover, MA
requesting a Special. Permit under Section 2.30.1 of the North
Andover Zoning Bylaw. The legal notice was properly advertised in
the North Andover Citizen on June 30 and July 7, 1993. All parties
of interest were duly notified. The following members were
present: Richard Nardella, Chairman, Joseph Mahoney, Clerk, Richard
Rowen and John Draper.
The petitioner was requesting a Special Permit for the
construction of a common driveway to gain access to Lot A from 247
Farnum Street. The premise affected is located on the south side
of Farnum Street in a Residential -2 (R-2) Zoning District.
Mr. Mahoney read the legal notice to open the public hearing.
Mr. Thomas Laudani presented plans. Lot A is "pork chop lot"
with 50' of frontage and 3 times the required area.
Mr. Draper told Mr. Laudani that fire sprinklers will be
required in the new homes.
Mr. Gulezian, 240 Farnum Street expressed concern about ice in
the winter on the site, overland flow.
Mr. Perna addressed issues of construction across the street
at a D.P.W. level. D.P.W. and builder of adjacent lot will install
a.drain to drain off the water in this location. There are steep
slopes, cut will be required for the adjacent driveway. A common
driveway will not require as much cut as two driveways, will not
make problem worse but may redirect flow.
Mr. Laudani stated that water will be sloped so that drainage
goes to the swale in the shoulder of the road to a drain to be
installed. He went on to say that by digging out the shoulder,
filling it with rocks and create a swale, if possible.

Mr. Nardella asked that the decision contain that the
developer must work with the D.P.W. to resolve drainage issues.
Mr. Gulezian expressed concerns that a new driveway would add
more water and ice to the area.
Mr. Keating, 235 Farnum Street, told the Board that there is
water sheeting across the street.
The Board added the following to conditions to the decision:
1. participate with Town to create a new catch basin, with
D.P.W. direction
2. gutter with rock - with D.P.W. direction, if possible.
3. Review after first winter to review engineering on site.
On a motion by Mr. Mahoney, seconded by Mr. Draper, the Board
voted to close the public hearing and take the matter under
advisement until August 3, 1993.
On a motion by Mr. Draper, seconded by Mr. Mahoney, the Board
voted to approve with amendments discussed.
Attached are those conditions the Board approved.
