Petition: #128-90
DECISION
Ja, ILI I0 u2Il—!'A
The Board of Appeals held a public hearing on Tuesday evening, January 8, 1991,
continued from the October, November and December meetings, upon the application
of Merrimack Valley Gymnastics requesting a Special Permit from the requirements
of Section 4.131, Paragraph 9 and Section 4.11.1 and as a Party Aggreived from
the Zoning Bylaw so as to permit operation of a gymnastic facility in an I-1 zoning
district on the premises located at 85 Flagship Drive. The following members were
present and voting: Frank Serio, Jr., Chairman, Walter Soule, Clerk, Anna O'Connor
and Louis Rissin.
The hearing was advertised in the North Andover Citizen on September 26, 1990
and October 3, 1990 and all abutters were notified by regular mail.
Upon a motion made by Mr. Soule and seconded by Mr. Rissin, the Board voted,
unanimously, to DENY the Special Permit and Party Aggreived as requested.
The Board finds that this is not a proper location for a children's gymnastic
school because of the many industries using chemicals in this area.
Dated this 10th day of January, 1991.

Tel. (508) 686-3812
In response to your letter of October 15, 1990 regarding the
review of the building inspector's decision and the Special
Permit of Merrimack Valley Gymnastics, I totally support the
decision of the building inspector.
The Fire Department is concerned with the safety of all the
users of the industrial area. The mixing of the occupancies
as proposed increases the life safety hazard.
The department has been consistently opposed to such proposals
since the operation conducted in such areas deal with a variety
of chemidals on a regular basis. Any fire or emergency involving
those occupancies, or any emergency occuring for a transportation
accident, increases the exposure problem to the area.
Persons who work with or in this environment should be knowledgeable
and indeed have a "right to know" about these hazards. The trans-
itory nature of the proposed project does not provide each future
user with such knowledge.
In order to provide for the safety of the users I would recommend
the decision of the building official not be reversed nor a special
permit granted.
These matters have been brought up in thpast and I have proposed
a strong occupancy permit system be imp l&ented with appropriate
penalties for non-compliance.
"SMOKE DETECTORS SAVE LIVES"

I ask your understanding for our needs in serving the public
particularly when first arriving units pull up to an emergent
scene at an industrial building and suddenly find the building
also includes a variety of processes including a gymnastic school,
some or none of which may have notified us of their presence.
Please advise me of the date and time that this matter is to be
heard and either I or a representative will be present.

Chairman
The Police Department has looked closely at the Merrimack
valley Gymnastics location at 85 Flagship Drive. Police personnel
did evaluate traffic flow, ease of egress and ingress and the types of
motorized and pedestrian traffic that would frequent the area. It was
found that the only area of possible concern would be the mix of tractor
trailer trucks that are loading and unloading at the same building, with
other vehicles and possible pedestrian traffic generated by individuals
entering and leaving the gymnastics center. Unfortunately there is no
hard evidence that would indicate a problem would materialize.
Sincere,

Paragraph 7. Petitioner seeks a review of the decision of the
Building Inspector, a copy of which is annexed
hereto. Said decision rules that the present use
is not an allowed use as a matter of right.
Alternatively, Petitioner seeks a special permit to
operate the school.
Paragraph 8. Paragraph 4.131 (5) permits a private school in an
I-1 zone. The Petitioner is operating a private
school for gymnastics. Accordingly, its use is an
allowed use as a matter of right.
If the Board rules that the use is more properly
classified as a swimming or tennis club use, under
Paragraph 4.131 (9) Petitioner seeks a special
permit on the grounds that the specific site is an
appropriate location for the use, that it will not
adversely affect the neighborhood, that there will
be no nuisance or serious hazard to pedestrians,
adequate and appropriate facilities are provided for
the proper operation of the proposed use and that
the use is in harmony with the general purpose and
intent of the By -Laws.

Dear Sharon:
SIVE, NORTH ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS 01845
August 27, 1990
There are no chemical manufacturing companies or chemical distributors as
tenants at 85 Flagship Drive. There are a couple of tenants whose company
names may require further explanation.
Waltham Chemical Company is a residential and industrial pest control
service company. They apply some chemicals for the control of ants, termites,
mice, etc. at the locations of their customers. Waltham stores all materials in
their original containers and performs no mixing, blending or other activity
that could cause any type of chemical spill. American Micro-Tronix
(Amitron) manufactures thick film microelectronic substrates. They use very
small amounts of chemical compounds in the manufacture of their products,
but they do not mix, blend or otherwise handle quantities of chemicals that
would result in any type of chemical spill.
The remaining tenants are engaged in an assortment of'non-chemical related
industries such as sales and distribution of lightbulbs, crystal, china, tools &
equipment, computers, packaging systems, and industrial laminates.
If I can be of any further assistance please let me know.
Cordially,

AMITRON SPECIALIZES IN THE FINEST QUALITY THICK FILM SCREEN
PRINTING TO MILITARY AND COMMERCIAL SPECIFICATIONS
AMITRON was established in February 1985, as a manufacturer of quality custom thick
film microelectronic circuits. In 1986, our product line was broadened to include chip
resistor components, and in early 1987, specialized equipment was purchased to begin
production of surface mounted assemblies. Our highly refined processing capabilities
include custom single and multilayer printing, metalized holes, and edge metalization.
Expertise has been developed on various media including BeO and ferrite as well as
alumina. Custom and standard chip resistor components, including microwave chip
attenuators are manufactured regularly and most values are available off the shelf.
FACILITY
Our 5000 square foot facility is located in North Andover, MA. 2000 square feet is
classified as a Class 100,000 clean room. Our production equipment consists of 5 screen
printers (with 3 more on order) equipped with laminar flow hoods that maintain a Class 100
environment within the screening zone, 3 fast fire furnaces, 1 laser trimmer, 2 abrasive
trimmers, 2 diamond scribe saws, 1 custom electro -plating line, 1 vapor degreaser, and
various optical microscopes and drying ovens. AMITRON works two shifts and employs
30 people.
ENGINEERING
AMITRON has on staff three design and process engineers with 60 years experience in the
components and semi -conductor industry. This service oriented staff is positioned to serve
as a vital link between schematic and finished product for fast turnaround and top quality.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
All work instructions and procedures have been developed under MIL -STD -38510 guide-
lines, which allows our circuits to be screened to MIL -STD -883. Further, AMITRON's
Quality Control system has been scrutinized and approved by several OEMs to MM -STD -
45208 (these include Raytheon, Northborough, MA and Martin Marietta, Orlando, FL.)
AMITRON is presently being surveyed by DESC and anticipates QPL approval for our
resistor product line summer 1989.

PROCESSING CONSIDERATIONS
Wire Bonding Mix bonded gold provides maximum adhesion'to ceramic
and good wire bonding ability
Oxide bonded gold yields less adhesion to ceramic
but best conditions for wire bonding
Optimum Solder/
Thick Film

Conditions
Various gold materials better suited for aluminum
wire bonding rather than gold bonding are available
and should be discussed with circuit manufacturer

Resistor Passivation Recommended when sheet resistivity equal to
or less than 10052 is needed
Grounding Connections to case ground can be accomplished
with metalized, or filled holes, or edge metalization
GENERAL INFORMATION
Minimum cost is achieved when standard specifications are
utilized
Integrating, both bondable (golds) and solderable (silver
composites) materials on the same circuit facilitates
assembly and helps reduce cost
• Advantages of utilizing thick film technology:
�I a wide range of resistors are achievable on the same
circuit
�l improved reliability is attainable by printing cross-
overs thereby decreasing wire bonds
�l multilayer capability allows denser packaging
(AMITRON has processed up to 11 conductor layers)
