EXI-IIBIT "A"
The Petitioners seek review of a Decision of the Town of North Andover
Building Inspector who denied a building permit to renovate a basement to include a
playroom, bathroom, bedroom and closets.
EXHIBIT "B"
The Petitioners seek review of the Town of North Andover Building Inspector's
Decision to deny a building permit for renovations to their basement, by creating a
playroom, bathroom, bedroom and closets. The Petitioners would also add and overflow
system to its existing hot water system, which work would not need require a building
permit pursuant to Massachusetts Law. The Petitioners presented plans for said work to
the Town of North Andover's Building Inspector who has verbally informed the
Petitioners, their contractor and attorney that he would deny said application. The reason
for the denial is the Inspector's feeling that the renovations looked like an apartment and
since a kitchen could easily be added after the construction, he could not allow the
renovations though they do not include a kitchen.
The Petitioners, have owned 679 South Bradford Street, North Andover,
Massachusetts 01845 since July 22, 1993. The Whitelocks have three young children
and Mrs. Whitelock is expecting twins in June, 1994. The basement renovations are
desperately needed to accommodate the two twins and a nanny the Petitioners have hired
to care for their children. The Town of North Andover Building Inspector claims the
proposed renovations coupled with the fact that a nanny will be living with the
Whitelocks is enough evidence to deny the building permit. The Petitioners disagree for
the following reasons pursuant to the provisions of North Andover Zoning By-Laws.
A close review of the Town of North Andover's Zoning By-Law will find that the
proposed renovation of the Petitioners basement would not constitute"a dwelling unit"
as defined thereunder. Under Section 2.35 a dwelling unit is defined as "one or more
rooms, including cooking facilities, (emphasis added) and sanitary facilities in a dwelling
structure, designed as a unit for occupancy by not more than one family for living and
sleeping purposes". The renovations proposed by the Petitioners as indicated in their
plans does not include construction of a cooking facility in the basement. The
renovations and the use of the premises by the nanny and the children of the basement
premises would not take the property away from its one family status as all would be
living as one family. The Town of North Andover's Zoning By-Law defines a one
family dwelling as a"dwelling built single and apart from any other building and
intended in design to be occupied and used exclusively for residential purposes by one
family." The Whitelocks use of their home clearly falls into this definition. The term
"family" is further defined under Section 2.37 of the Town of North Andover's Zoning
By-Law as "one or more persons occupying the same premises and living as a single
housekeeping unit as distinguished from a group occupying a boarding house, lodging,
club, fraternity or hotel". The Whitelock's and their nanny will be living together as a
single family unit and not separate and apart. There will be one kitchen in this home
which will remain in the upstairs premises and the nanny will use the entire premises as
her home together with the Whitelocks.
The renovations proposed by the Petitioners are clearly allowed by the North
Andover Zoning By-Law. There is no evidence and pure conjecture by the Town of
North Andover Building Inspector that the basement will be used as a separate dwelling
unit. This belief is simply incorrect. The Petitioners have been adversely affected by the
decision of the Town of North Andover Building Inspector and the decision has created
much anxiety and stress for the Whitelocks given the impending birth of the twins. The
Petitioners request that the Town of North Andover Building Inspector's decision be
overturned and a Building Permit be issued for the renovations contemplated by the
Petitioners' plans.
