NOTICE OF DECISION
Property: 75 & 30 Settlers Ridge Rd., Lot 5 and 11
NAME: Tara Leigh Development Corp. DATE: 10/15/97
ADDRESS: 75 & 30 Settlers Ride PETITION: 027-97
North Andover, MA 01845 HEARING: 10/14/97
The'Board of appeals held a regular meeting on Tuesday evening, October 14, 1997 upon the
application of Tara Leigh Development Corp., (Thomas Zahoruiko), requesting a Variance from the
requirements of Section 4.2, paragraph 1, from the Phase Development Bylaw as a party aggrieved.
Said premises are lots 5 and 11, which is in the R-2 Zoning District.
The following members were present; William Sullivan, Raymond Vivenzio, Robert Ford, John Pallone.
The hearing was advertised in the Lawrence Tribune on 8/26/97 and 9/2/97, and all abutters were
notified by regular mail.
The party aggrieved section of this petition is as follows: Robert Ford made a motion to sustain the
decision of the Building Commissioner with respect to 4.2 and 8.7 to Tara Leigh Development
Corp. as its 2 provisions currently exist in the by-laws Raymond Vivenzio seconded the motion.
Voting was unanimous, William J. Sullivan, Raymond Vivenzio, Robert Ford, John Pallone.
Upon a motion made by Raymond Vivenzio, and seconded by John Pallone, the Board of Appeals
unanimously voted to GRANT the petition for a Variance from the terms of section 4.2 of the North
Andover Zoning By-law as it applies to the requirement to schedule building permits using the
"anniversary date". As such the petitioner shall be entitled to a development schedule that will be
controlled by section 8.7 of the North Andover Zoning By-law. This variance shall in no way exempt the
petitioner from any other sections of section 8.7 of the North Andover Zoning By -Law. The petitioner is
caused undue hardship by the application of both of the sections of the Zoning By-law 4.2 and 8.7. Such
hardship is directly related to the soils and slope of the land as the petitioner is required to maintain the
sloping site with wetlands over a longer period of time than originally planned by the petitioner. The
Board further finds that the petitioners case is unique. This is the first case under which both by-laws are
required to apply. Voting in favor: William J. Sullivan, Raymond Vivenzio, Robert Ford, John Pallone.
Note: The granting of the Variance and/or Special Permit as requested by the applicant does not
necessarily ensure the granting of a Building Permit as the applicant must abide by all applicable
local, state and federal building codes and regulations, prior to the issuance of a building permit
as requested by the Building Commission.
BOARD OF gPPgAL4,
/decision William J. S�llivan, Chairman

C
Motion for Variance:
The Zoning Board of Appeals finds the following:
The petitioner is caused undue hardship by the application of both of the
sections of the Zoning By-law 4.2 and 8.7. Such hardship is directly related to
the soils and slope of the land as the petitioner is required to maintain the
sloping site with wetlands over a longer period of time than originally planned by
the petitioner. The Board further finds that the petitioners case is unique. This
is the first case under which both by-laws are required to apply.
Therefore the Board moves to:
Grant the petition for a Variance from the terms of section 4.2 of the North
Andover Zoning By-law as it applies to the requirement to schedule building
permits using the "anniversary date".' As such the petitioner shall be entitled to a
development schedule that will be controlled by section 8.7 of the North Andover
Zoning By-law. This variance shall in no way exempt the petitioner from any
other sections of section 8.7 of the North Andover Zoning By-law.

You have requested an opinion as the appropriate action to take with respect to two
sections of -he Town's Zoning Bylaw: Section 4-2, Phased Development; and Section 8.7,
Growth Management I understand that Tara Leigh Development Cofp. has filed a petition
seeking relief from the requirements of Section 4.2.1, the section of the Phased Development
Bylaw which establishes a schedule preventing subdivisions containing seven or more units from
being built out in one year. The project at issue is the Settler's Ridge subdivision.
This question has arisen because the Building Inspector has interpreted the Town's
Zoning Bylaws to state that the Settler's Ridge subdivision is subject to two different sets of
development limitations, i.e., the subdivision development schedule found in §4.2.1 and the
Town -wide building permit limit contained in section 8.7, the C}rowth Managerneat Bylaw. The
Board of Selectmen. by letter dated September 9, 1997, has informed the Zoning Board of
Appeals that, ass sponsor of the Growth Management Bylaw, the Selectmen had never intended to
have a subdivision be subject to both bylaws. The Selectmen had anticipated that older
subdivisions, whist, would be grandfathered and protected from the limitations of the Growth
Management, would be regulated by the codsting Phased Development Bylaw and that new
subdivisions would be regulated by the Growth Management Bylaw: but not Phased
Development. I understand that the Board of .Selectmen is prepared to sponsor an amendment to
change the Zoning Bylaw to make this intention clear.

Given the above circumstances; it is my opinion that it would be appropriate for the
Zoning Board to grant a variance froin'the provisions of §4.2.1. As you know, the legal
standards for a variance, found in G.L. c.40A, § 10, are very difficult to satisfy. Thesc
circumstances. affccting Settler's Ridge may not technically meet the variance standards, but it is
my opinion that the Board could grant a variance here, if the Board deemed it appropriate. Y
would anticipate that the Board would be concerned about the precedent that would be set by
granting such a variance. The issue of precedent should be addressed, however, by Town
Meeting if and when the issue of the overlap of the two bylaws appears on a vmrrant. At that
time, Town Meeting will either decide to eliminate the application of both bylaws to a
subdivision, in which case this issue will not arise again, or Town Meeting will decide to keep
both provisions as they are now, in which case the Zoning Board could conclude that it would
not be appropriate to grant future variances in circumstances such as this one.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions in this regard_

of the inability to construct the homes, due to the need to comply.with 4.2, the
developer is unable to close the site and must continue to stabilize the slope and
wetlands until closure.
While the above circumstance is common in development, the situation is
unique. The developer intended to follow the 8.7 by-law which allows permits in
each fiscal year. At the time of the by-law amendment in May of 1996 the
intention of the by-law change from 4.2 to 8.7 was to have 8.7 control for new
developments. Therefore, the developer proceeded with a construction that
would not have presented a hardship had the 8.7 by-law ruled. However, with
4.2 the stabilization becomes a greater impact and therefore a hardship relating
to soils, slopes and topography.
Your next concern is the impacts of this decision on other developments and the
possibility of a precedent. As you are aware, the Board of Selectmen intend to
amend the by-law to address this issue. The amendment will occur in May of
1998. As it stands only one approved development, Old Center Lane, was filed
after the May 1996 deadline. The development is only two lots and would not
require phasing under either by-law. Any other development currently under
review would receive their second phase of permits after July 1, the fiscal year,
and therefore any conflicts in the by-law would be resolved prior to any conflicts
at the May 1998 Town meeting.
Therefore, the Settlers Ridge case would not create a precedent because the
by-law would be resolved in May creating a different by-law and circumstances.
I hope this answers all of your questions.
Builder Suing To Overtiffn Construction Bylaws
A builder in North Andover is seeking to overturn that town's
growth management and development bylaws and recover dam-
ages for the loss of more than $1 million in sales.
Thomas D. Zahoruiko, owner of Tbxa Leigh Development
Corp. of North Andover, filed suit last week in Boston land court
after learning he would be denied five building permits.
Zahoruiko had previously been given permission to begin an 11 -
home subdivision, and had bought the land and constructed the
street — Settlers' Ridge Road — and utilities.
Last year, voters at a town meeting in North Andover
approved an annual cap of 80 building permits and placed addi-
tional restrictions on individual projects. A 1986 bylaw further
restricts home construction.
Zahoruiko's attorney Michael P McCarron charged that the
North Andover bylaws represent an unconstitutional taking of
property, and claimed that the town's multiple zoning bylaws
contain conflicting time periods.
"The growth management bylaw limits building permits to six
during the town's year, which runs from July to June while the
older phased development bylaw uses the calendar year," said
McCarron.
The Tew�;kbury-basO trade organization North East Buildey-s
Association of Massachusetts, of which Zahoruiko is a member,
has agreed to help defray the builder's legal costs.

PUBLIC HEARING:
Tara Leigh Development Corp. Variance R-2
Lot 5 & Lot 11, Settlers Ridge Rd. (Party Aggrieved)
Raymond Vivenzio read the legal notice. Thomas Zahoruiko, the developer for Settlers
Ridge spoke on his own behalf. In July of 1996 Mr. Zahoruiko submitted to the
Planning Board an application after the 8.7 bylaw was enacted and the bylaw was
placed in effect on July 1st of '96. Subsequently he got the sub -division approved
through the standard planning practice on January 24th, 1997, part of that approval
was the conditions for the development of that subdivision being subject to bylaw 4.2
which is the Phase Development Bylaw, as well as Bylaw 8.7, which is the Growth
Managment. The 4.2 Bylaw has been part of every subdivision approval, he thinks,
since 1986, at least part of the conditions. Subsequently, he recorded those
conditions, developed this project, which is off of Bradford St., went through the normal
process of marketing homes, selling homes, based on his understanding of being able
to get permits according to the 8.7 Bylaw, even though the 4.2 Bylaw was part of his
condition of approval. His understanding through this process was that the 4.2 Bylaw
was not applicable, even though it was part of the condition of approval, because it had
never been enforced for the previous 11 years in developments .that not only he
developed but that many other people developed in town. It is also his understanding,
by going to Town Meetings and seeing the presentation when the 8.7 Bylaw was
presented to the town, that the 8.7 Bylaw superseded the 4.2 Bylaw in terms of
managing growth and development in residential developments. That was certainly
what was expressed at Town Meetings when the vote was taken on the 8.7 Bylaw. He
developed the subdivision, over $1 M, pulled two permits in June of this year for the first
two houses. Those two permits were allowable based on the 8.7 eligible schedule that
was issued by the Planning Board which indicated, very clearly, and went on record at-.
the Registry that we were eligible for six permits in FY' 97 and that he is eligible for the
remaining five permits in FY'98. His assumption is that within the Phase Development
Bylaw you don't loose your eligibility. He pulled his first two permits in June based on
his eligibility for permits for.FY'97. Hisunderstanding through this development
process is that because 'of the 8.7 development schedule issued to him that he
became eligible for the other five permits as of FY'98, therefore, he feels that he is
eligible.for all 11 permits at this time.
1V2
He pulled four more building permits, two in July, and two in August. Those louses are
sold. He subsequently submitted additional applications for two, more' permits on lots 5
and 7 specifically which is the,subject properties tonight. These permits were denied
based on not the 8.7 Bylaw, but based on the enforcement of the old 4.2 Bylaw which
has not been adhered to consistently over the years. The problem is that those houses
are`under contract and his business had been planned, scheduled, based on his
knowledge of the Bylaws and also his experience with dealing with the Town's Bylaws,
as he has built over 40 or 50 houses. He has subsequently given back those contracts
and resold lots and given back two more contracts which represents $1.3M in business
which represents a significant financial impact for him. He's looking for relief either in
reversing the decision because these Bylaws are interpreted in a lot of ways that are
not completely clear, or by a variance if that is what's necessary to provide relief, at
least on the two lots, so that he can build on them.
Bill Sullivan asked if anyone -else wanted to speak in favor. Kevin Foley, 52 Hewitt
Ave., spoke this evening as a member of the Board of Selectmen. A letter from John
Leeman was read (for the record). Mr. Foley wanted to provide some amplification and
some clarification as to the intent of the letter. Mr. Foley wanted to explain that the
Board of Selectmen was not trying to tell the ZBA what to do, regarding the letter. Mr.
Foley stated that he felt Mr. Zahoruiko's issue is a unique one. He said that the Board
would not see a lot of this situation as the result of the Growth Bylaw, however, should
that be, then the Board should legislate to have a Town Meeting to address it. The
letter sent by the Board of Selectmen was sent with the unanimous consent of the
Board, because they wanted to make the intention clear of the Growth Bylaw (8.7).
This was a planning tool, allows to plan for budgets and long term master planning, the
section in the letter shows this is the intention of the Bylaw. Great care was given to
the development of the legislation to meet with developers to make sure "it" would not
impact in their course of business and their rights to develop property that they own,
given that they don't build too many houses in the course of a year. He's aware that
this particular issue has caused Mr. Zahoruiko some hardship. He believes it was
denied because the new Growth Bylaw was interpreted along with the 1987 phase
development bylaw which prevented him from receiving the amount of permits he
thought he would have at this time during his development. This is an important point
when you consider that the intention of the new bylaw, that was voted in the Town
Meeting 1996, was to replace the old phase development bylaw. Mr. Foley video taped
the 1996 Town Meeting, which discussed the New Phase Development bylaw, and he
took some notes that developed from said meeting. He called attention to a couple of
sections of 8.7 (at this time). Section 1 (Intent & Purpose) is clearly delineated. Under
Section 2, ( Applicability, Affect and Definitions) 2A and B states, no building permit
shall be issued for a new dwelling unit between May 6, and July 1st ,unless exempted
under 8.7. When this was passed in the Town Meeting there were no permits issued
from that Town Meeting until July 1, 96. Beginning on July 1st, however, no building
permit for a new dwelling or unit shall be issued unless in accordance with 8.7. Mr.
-3-
Foley stated that (4.2 is not in accordance with 8.7). Under Definitions Section 8. 1,
para. 2, Sub -para V, years shall mean period beginning July 1st and endingJune.30th
this is a FY year, instead of a calendar year. Under Development Scheduling, section
4, Mr. Zahoruiko's particular issue is for 11 units so that he would be illegible for 6 in a
year.Section.8.7, Para. 5, Sub -para. d., Procedures for Development: this was a
ar,endment that was offered on the floor of Town Meeting, procedures for development
schedule shall be in accordance with rules and regulations consistent with the
provisions of this Bylaw to be adopted by the Planning Board on or before July 1, 1996.
Mr. Foley is not aware if the Planning Board ever did adopt procedures for the
implementation for the new Growth Development Bylaw. In Mr. Zahoruiko's case, lots
were approved in January 1997 and recorded in March of 97. Mr. Foley feels that
people applying for eligibility under 4.2 would not have lost eligibility and Mr. Z would
have been eligible for 6 lots in FY'97 and that the balance of his 5 lots would have
been eligible in FY'98.
Raymond Vivenzio read a letter dated August 8, 1997 from Bill Scott, Director of
Community Development and Services to Mr. Zahoruiko, (letter for the record).
Discussion between the Board took place. Bill Sullivan asked if anyone present was in
opposition (none). Bill Sullivan asked questions of Mr. Zahoruiko: how many buildings
did you plan on having this year? Mr. "Z", plans to build 9 houses in this year, based
on his knowledge of G.M. Bylaws. Discussion took place regarding the number of
permits allowed in a year. Bill Sullivan explained that based on the two letters he
received (for the record) this is a matter for the Town Meeting. Mr. "Z" agreed with
what Bill Sullivan suggested, and that more clarification should be made regarding
interpretation. Mr. "Z" stated that it is costing $10,000 per month, and has 35 people
working for him, etc. based on his business. Mr. "Z" stated the loss of money he has
incurred needs to be addressed as soon as possible. More discussion took place
regarding the interpretation of the Bylaw and number of houses Mr. "Z" requested to
build.
Mr. Foley spoke regarding his personal views relative to conflict between the Board's
interpretation of the Bylaw.
Mr. "Z" stated that it's the 4.2 Bylaw preventing him from getting the permits, not the
8.7. Suddenly, he feels he is the test case after 11 years of non -enforcement of 4.2, as
they never once published an administrative argument for implementing this Bylaw.
Bob Nicetta spoke that the Bylaw as exists creates confusion, not only on Mr. "Z's" part
but on Bob's part, as far as interpreting of the Bylaw. To allow on "intent" can not be
done, with due respect to the Selectmen and of the Town Meeting.
After more discussion between Bob Nicetta, and Mr. Foley, etc.; Bill Sullivan spoke
regarding resolving the situation at hand: suggested that we continue this, get
-4-
information from the Town Counsul, in the meantime the Selectmen consider getting
I he Town Meeting to resolve this question, Bill Sullivan expect sword from the Town
Council, that this may be the way to resolve it, rather than drag this out.(tonight) over
words, etc.
Mr.,"Z" asked that a resolution be made this evening, based on his hardship. Bill
Sullivan stated that the resources were not available this evening to resolve the issue
immediately, based on the fact that the Board does not have enough information from
the correct sources to render the decision. The Selectmen requested assistance by
phone call and didn't get it within a 24 hour period, if they have doubts through the
Town Counsul, then why shouldn't the ZBA have the same doubts.
More discussion took place between the Board regarding the intent and interpretation
of 4.2 and Mr. "Z".
Bill Sullivan reiterated his request to continue the petition until the next ZBA meeting,
and if need be reconvene at a Special Meeting based on the ZBA getting the letter
from the Town Counsul. Motion made by John Pallone to continue the hearing, until
the ZBA hears from the Town Counsul. Seconded by Ray Vivenzio. Unanimous.

This interpretation is provided as a matter of providing clarity to the Planning Board discussion
and your letter of July 3, 1997. As such, the response is from tkie Planning Office. If the below
response does not meet your understanding and you wish further remedy then you need to
request a ruling from the Building Commissioner. This ruling then can be appealed at the Zoning
Board of Appeals level.
T1106 Is no reference in the ordinance to the prohibition of "Forrtr-U" sign -off as related to either
ordinance section 4.2 or 8.7. Further,. the subdivision decision does not require that a Form -U be
heldto Rrevent oonstruction and enforce either.Growth By -Law. Thd Phased Growth By -Law 4.2
O nd Growth Management By -Law 8.7 are enforced at the building permit stage. Neither of the
by-laws are a prohibition on the creation of lots. The by-laws limit the issuance of building
permits. Therefore, the Form -U cam_ be signed for all lots. However sock signature does not
constitute approval of a building permit.
Ih reference to the use of the Growth Management By -Law 'specifically and exclusively
"c6toiling the phasing, reference should be made to the subdivision decision for Settler's Ridge
as follows in Item 3a page 2•" The applicant must comply with the Phased Development By -Law
and the Growth Management By -Law.` This seems to clearly indicate as a function of the
subdivision approval that both apply.
In refer to your written statement: "I do not believe that the Phased Growth By -Law applies -
In this CSWsince our project was submitted and approved after the July 1, 1996 cut-off date for .
applicaNityy of the Growth Management Bylaw." The actual purpose of the July 1, 190 date is to
estpbllsh the date of the restrictions for those properties that are required to meet the ordinance
(section 8.7). The date does not create an exclusivity which limits those who must meet section
8.7 to only that by-law section. The fact that you are required to meet section 8.7 and that there
Is a date which Indicates when the restrictions apply does not provide a waiver or release from
section 4.2.
It is My understanding that the interpretation of the Planning Board is that both by-laws apply and
that the scheduling requirement of 4.2 applies as related to the anniversary date. As cited from
section 4.2 page] 60 item 5 : "The anniversary date of each subdh4sion or contiguous Form A lots
urWer-this provision shall be no earlier than the date on which all required approvals for a building
permit hale been obtained. (e.g. Planning Board approval of Definitive Plan, Board of Health
approval, `Conservation Commission approval, etc.) ".

i -Mr. Thomas D. Zahoruiko
August 8, 1997 . =
Page 2 '
'8686h 8.7 requires that the number of building permits for.new dwelling units be limited per
,"year' (table at the top of page 119). "Year" is defined as: ":.. the period beginning July 1 and
ending June 30." (item d.v. page 117). Therefore, 8.7 is pursuant to a fiscal year:
-The Akird :."per.annum" (see 4.2 item 1 line 4) is defined as "per the year annually' in the
American Heritage Dictionary. Section 4.2 is not as clear on the definition of when the annual
period begins, except for a separate reference to an "anniversary date". In 8.7 a specific
definition of "year" is provided. In 4.2 a reference to anniversary date (item 5 page 60) is
j. provided. Therefore, -while annually is not directly linked to anniversary date the assumption is
r that the "per annum" begins on the anniversary date.
Therefore, if 4.2 states the anniversary date applies and 8.7 states the fiscal year. applies then
which is the overriding by-law section. Clearly a conflict exists by the nature of having two
distinct and separate periods under which the issuance of building permits is managed.
r, As perahe table, in item 1, on page 60, fifty percent of the lots can be developed per year.
Therefore, six lots can be developed between Januar)r(your anniversary date) of 1997 and
y January of 1998. However, the Growth control by-law indicates that the "Year" is July 1 to June
30 and restricts the number of building permits "per year" (page 119 table) to six.
. M
The least restrictive interpretation would follow section 8.7 which would mean that your
�t development is entitled to six permits from January to July 1 and another five (for your 11 total)
after July 1. If this interpretation was implemented then.it would violate the terms of section 4.2
1`k and allow your second set of permits to occur prior to the anniversary date. The fact that an
annual anniversary date is used in section 4.2 ensures the conformance to section 8.7 by
restrictlKg building permits to a similar amount in one year, Regardless of that anniversary date,
the use of section 4.2 alone does not create a violation of section 8.7, while the use of section
8.7 alone could create a violation for section 4.2.
Therefore, to insure that the ordinance creates the least amount of conflict the use of section 4.2
should override section 8.7 in establishing the beginning point (or anniversary date) from which
the annual restrictions on building permits begin.-
If
egin:If you have any questions plea ntact me.

On September 22, 1997, I sent you a letter on the above subject. Since then, Tara Leigh
Development Corp. has filed a Complaint against the Town. You have asked for further
guidance now that a lawsuit has been filed.
In my opinion, the Board should proceed as recommended in my September 22, 1997
letter, i.e., consider granting a variance from the provisions of §4.2.1 of the Zoning Bylaw.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions regarding this matter.

You have requested an opinion as the appropriate action to take with respect to two
sections of -he Town's Zoning Bylaw: Section 32, Phased Development; and Section 8.7,
Growth Management 1 understand that Tara Leigh Development Corp. has filed a petition
seeking relief from the requirements of Section 4.2.1, the section of the Phased Development
Bytaw which establishes a schedule preventing subdivisions containing seven or more units from
being built out in one year. The project at issue is the Settler's Ridge subdivision -
This question has arisen because the Building lnspector has interpreted the Town's
Zoning Bylaws to state that the Settler's Ridge subdivision is subject to two different sets of
development limitations, i.e., the subdivision develonment schedule found in §4..1 and the
Town -wide building permit limit contained in section 8.7, the Growth Management Bylaw. The
Board of Selectmen. by letter dated September 9, 1997, has informed the Zoning Board of
Appeals that, as sponsor of the Urow-th Management Bylaw, the Selectmen had never intended to
have a subdivision be subject to both bylaws. The Selec:imen had anticipated that older
subdivisions, which would be grandfathered and protected from the limit2tions of the Growth
Management, would be related by the existing Phased Development Bylaw and that new
subdivisions would be regulated by the Growth Management Bylaw, but not Phased
Development I understand that the Board of .Selectmen is prepared to sponsor ars amendment to
change the Zoning Bylaw to make this intention clear.

Given the above circumstances; it is my opinion that it would be appropriate for the
Zoning Board to grant a variance from the provisions of §4.2.1. As you know, the legal
standards for a variance, found in G.L. c.40A, § 10, are very difficult to satisfy. These;
circumstances.affeeting Settler's Ridge may not technically meet the variance standards, but it is
my opinion that the Board could grant a variance here, if the Board deemed it appropriate. 1
would anticipate that the Board would be concerned about the precedent that would be sct by
granting such a variance. The issue of precedent should be addressed, however. by Town
Meetiag if and when the issue of the overlap of the two bylaws appears on a warrant. At that
time, Town Meeting will either decide to chmmate the application of both bylaws to a
subdivision, in which case this issue will not arise again, or Town Meeting will decide to keep
both provisions as they are now, in which case the Zoning Hoard could conclude that it would
not be appropriate to grant future variances in circumstances such a5 this one.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions in this regard.

Dear Mr. Sullivan:
This letter is in reference to the Tara Leigh Variance and Appeal before the
Zoning Board. The applicant is requesting either a waiver from Section 4.2 or
the Board to overturn the Building Commissioner's decision to deny building
permits for lots in the subdivision known as Settlers Ridge.
As indicated in my prior correspondence and that of Town Counsel, the 4.2 by-
law does apply. Therefore, voting on the Aggrieved Party to overturn the,
Building Commissioner's decision would not be valid. Your question remains as
to how an administrative interpretation to deny a permit would relate to the tests
for a variance.
First the by-law requires that for the grant of a variance, the Zoning Board must
find that "owning to circumstances relating to soil conditions, slope, or
topography of the land or structures and especially affecting such land or
structures...." The Settlers Ridge site is a steep slope (see attached plan) with
wetland resource areas (shaded area on plan). Therefore, it is established that
the site can meet the tests of slope, topography and soils. However, how do
these issues relate to a request for a variance from 4.2 the phasing by-law?
The relationship of the slope, wetlands and the phased by-law is a factor in the
decision. The phasing of the development using the requirements of 4.2 will
create undue hardship by requiring a stabilization of the site for a longer period
of time. With an understanding that the 8.7 by-law applies the applicant
proceeded to construct all of the infrastructure. The next step would be the
construction of the homes and then complete stabilization of the site. As a result

Mr. William Sullivan
October 9, 1997
Page 2
of the inability to construct the homes, due to the need to comply with 4.2, the
developer is unable to close the site and must continue to stabilize the slope and
wetlands until closure.
While the above circumstance is common in development, the situation is
unique. The developer intended to follow the 8.7 by-law which allows permits in
each fiscal year. At the time of the by-law amendment in May of 1996 the
intention of the by-law change from 4.2 to 8.7 was to have 8.7 control for new
developments. Therefore, the developer proceeded with a construction that
would not have presented a hardship had the 8.7 by-law ruled. However, with
4.2 the stabilization becomes a greater impact and therefore a hardship relating
to soils, slopes and topography.
Your next concern is the impacts of this decision on other developments and the
possibility of a precedent. As you are aware, the Board of Selectmen intend to
amend the by-law to address this issue. The amendment will occur in May of
1998. As it stands only one approved development, Old Center Lane, was filed
after the May 1996 deadline. The development is only two lots and would not
require phasing under either by-law. Any other development currently under
review would receive their second phase of permits after July 1, the fiscal year,
and therefore any conflicts in the by-law would be resolved prior to any conflicts
at the May 1998 Town meeting.
Therefore, the Settlers Ridge case would not create a precedent because the
by-law would be resolved in May creating a different by-law and circumstances.
I hope this answers all of your questions.

14. Section 8.7, the "Growth Management By-law," insofar as it provides
differing treatments for certain lots located within the Residential Zone is in violation of the
uniformity requirement as set forth in Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A, Section 4.
15. Sections 4.2 and 8.7 of the North Andover Zoning By-laws are not within .
the scope of authority delegated to a municipality for the enactment of zoning by-laws and are

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infa-
mous crime, unless upon the presentation or indictment of a Grand
Jury, except in cases arising in the land or navel forces, or in the
Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger, nor
shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in
jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to
be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty or prop-
erty without due process of law, _nor shall private property be taken for
public use, without iust compensation.
15. Sections 4.2 and 8.7 of the North Andover Zoning By-law deprive Tara
Leigh of the right to obtain all economic benefit from their property for a period of time.
16. The deprivation of the right to all economic benefit as provided for in

pense of this protection; to give his personal service, or an equivalent,
when necessary: but no part of the property of any individual can,
with justice, be taken from him; or applied to public uses, without his
consent, or that of his representative body of the people. In fine, the
people of this commonwealth are not controllable by any other laws
than those to which their constitutional representative body shall have
given their consent. And whenever the public exigencies require that
the property of any individual should be appropriated to public uses,
he shall receive a reasonable compensation therefor.
18. Sections 4.2 and 8.7 of the North Andover Zoning By-law constitute a taking
of all of the reasonable economic value of the property for a period of time.
19. Sections 4.2 and 8.7 of the North Andover Zoning By-law constitute a taking
of the property of Tara Leigh without reasonable compensation therefore.

22. Tara Leigh has ready, willing and able individuals who are prepared to
purchase completed single-family residential structures on the property but are being prevented
from doing so by the operation of Section 4.2 and 8.7 of the North Andover Zoning By-law.
23. The Town of North Andover is liable for the damages incurred by Tara
Leigh occasioned by the delay in Tara Leigh's ability to construct a single-family residential
structure and place the same on the market.

Dear Mr. Sullivan:
It has come to the attention of the Built d of Selecunen that you have received an appeal from a
decision of the Building Commissioner li*onl Mr. "I'humas Zahuunko. As we understand it, Mr. Zahouriko
has been denied ,a building permit(s) under the zoning by-law by virtue of an interpretation of the Zoning
By-law which in essence applies the requirements of'butl, the Growth Mana;ement By-law adopted by the
Annual Town Meeting in 1996 and the older Phased Development By-law.
The Board of Selectmen, which was t
both by-laws would
would apply to a she sponsor and proponent ul'the by-law, never intended that
ingle subdivisiun. The Board expected that the new by-law would apply to
all new subdivision lots created alier July I, 1996 and that the sole PurpOSe for leaving the Phased
Development By law on the books was to continue to have some control over so-called grandfathered lots
created prior to July I, 1996. We note that prior to sponsorship of the new Growth Management Bylaw by
the Board of Selectmen, the older Phased Develupmen, Bylaw ,vas not enforced and was routinely waived
by the "town. To now apply two contlictin� sets of rules and development schedules from two very
different by-laws creates confusion, is unfair and not the intent of the town meeti
