Re: Brookview Estates - subdivision/PRD
Dear Ms. Bradshaw,
The North Andover Planning Board held a public hearing on
Tuesday evening October 15, 1996, upon the application of
Brookview Country Homes Inc. P.O. Box 531, No. Andover, MA 01845
requesting a special permit under Section 8.5 of the North
Andover Zoning Bylaw. The legal notice was properly advertised
in the Lawrence Eagle Tribune on September 30 and October 7, 1996
and all parties of interest were duly notified. The following
members were present: Joseph V. Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen,
Vice Chairman, Alison Lescarbeau, Clerk, Alberto Angles,
Associate Member. Kathleen Bradley Colwell, Town Planner was
also present.
The petitioner requested a special permit for the
construction of a Planned Residential Development (PRD), with
eleven (11) new lots created. The site is located in the
Residential -2 (R-2) Zoning District.
Ms. Lescarbeau read the legal notices to open the public
hearings.
Mike Rosati, Marchionda Associates, presented the plans. A
preliminary plan was filed in February, but was denied by the
Planning Board due to incomplete soil testing. The proposed
definitive plan is for a 16 lot PRD off of Boxford Street
containing 43 acres. Mr. Rosati stated that the access across 2
narrow strips of wetland has been approved by Con Com. The lot
sizes will be approximately 40,000 sq. ft with 500 of the land
being left as open space. The property will have septic systems
and will be on Town water. Mr. Rosati stated that at a TRC
meeting it was mentioned that a trail system be incorporated into
the plan showing a footbridge over the wetlands. Mr. Simons
stated that the proposed plan is predicated upon the preliminary
plan the Board did not approve and he does not believe 16 lots
are likely. Ms. Colwell stated that if the Planning Board
BOARD OF APPEALS 688-9541 BUILDING 688-9545 CONSERVATION 688-9530 HEALTH 688-9540 PLANNING 688-9535
IL
allowed the road to be built, then Con Com would be forced to
approve the plan. Ms. Colwell read a letter from the Health
Department stating that in the conventional plan all the lots
perked. The septic testing has not been completed for a PRD
plan. Ms. Lescarbeau asked about a detention pond and Mr. Rosati
replied that there' is a very large watershed from Mosquito Brook
running through the site. There is also a huge detention area on
Boxford Street that eliminates the need for a detention pond.
Mr. Angles asked how long is the cul-de-sac and Mr. Rosati
replied 15001. There will be an island in the cul-de-sac. Elsie
Pouliot, an abutter, asked when the applicant will be before Con
Com and Mr. Rosati replied 2 or 3 weeks.
The Board discussed access to lots 2 and 6 which would require a
span bridge.
Buzz Seeley, Duncan Drive, is concerned about the water level and
flooding in his basement. A water pipe passes very close by his
well and he is concerned about contamination. Mr. Rosati stated
that a pipe will be dug 5 '1 feet in the right-of-way in the road,
not on private property. Mr. Rosati further stated that if your
well is typical there should be no impact on your property.
Continued until November 19, 1996.
a•
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on
November 19, 1996. The following members were present: Joseph V.
Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison
Lescarbeau, Clerk, Alberto Angles, Associate Member, and Richard
Simons.
Mr. Mike Rosati presented a 16 lot PRD subdivision. Mr. Rosati
has met with Ms. Colwell, Mr. Howard, Mr. Chessia, and Mr.
Kindred to review the drainage and to try and keep the ball
rolling. Mr. Rosati stated that they are about to file with the
Con Com. Mr. Rosati stated that they might not have to construct
the detention areas, but they may need a waiver for the PRD
boundary. Ms. Colwell stated that this is a unique situation,
technically there will be an increase in water flow across the
PRD boundary, but not by the time you get to Boxford Street. The
biggest concern is water not backing up on Bradshaw property. The
applicant will work with the drainage consultant to size the
culvert appropriately. Mr. Rosati showed a conventional plan not
connecting to Duncan Drive with one less lot. In an effort to
move plan forward Mr. Kindred will go with this conventional plan
if necessary. Mr. Rowen asked if on the conventional plan does
the lot 11 meet all requirements. Mr. Rosati stated that it did.
Ms. Colwell stated that Mr. Rosati will have to submit
conventional plans to her. Mr. Simon commented to Ms. Colwell
about the flood plain on Boxford Street and how it flooded 2-3
feet during the storm. Mr. Simon asked how far the flood plain
was away from the septic system. Mr. Rosati stated that it was
far away and at a much higher elevation. Elsie Pouliot showed
pictures to the Board of water at Duncan Drive as a reason the
road should not connect to Duncan Drive. Mr. Simon asked how
much upland is open space. Mr. Rosati stated that total open
space is 25 acres and.the required is 15 acres, the total of
upland is 12 acres and the required is 11. Mr. Angles stated
that using topography to control run off is the best idea as long
as it is shown to our consultant that it does not create problems
at Boxford Street.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on
February 18, 1997. The following members were present: Joseph V.
Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison
Lescarbeau, Clerk, Richard Nardella and John Simons.
Dave Kindred and Mike Rosati were present representing Brookview
Estates. They have filed with ConCom. They are dealing with a
number of issues with Conservation Committee. One of the issues
is proposing to extend the water from Duncan Drive. Mr. Rosati
stated that they have a letter from John Chessia, the town's
outside consultant, stating that they can continue to drain into
the wetland resource area. Mr. Rosati, -stated that their biggest
concern is getting water to the subdivision. ConCom suggested
not to alter the wetlands to get the water through, he said.
Mr. Rosati stated that an option is to burrow a sleeve under the
wetlands. Ms. Lescarbeau asked what it wouldcost for them to do
something like this. Mr. Rosati stated about $25,000 - $50,000.
Mr. Nardella stated that he thought that would be ludicrous to
make a developer spend that to avoid disturbing a small wetland
for a brief time.
Mr. Rosati stated that they wanted to create a path to Duncan
Drive and put a Boardwalk over the wetlands as an alteration.
Mr. Nardella asked if you need the boardwalk to get access. Mr.
Rosati stated yes.
Ms. Lescarbeau stated that she thought that the Planning Board
should write a letter to the Conservation Committee stating that
the Planning Board endorsed a water line tie-in and pedestrian
access from Duncan Drive. Mr. Rosati stated that the Seellys,
abutters, have the problem with the boardwalk because they feel
that when the boardwalk is flooded people will cut across their
property to get to Duncan Drive.
Elsie Pouliot, Boxford Street, stated that a lot of this negative
input is coming from the abutters because there is a stream that
runs behind the Seellys property and it increases flooding.
Mr. Rosati stated that Mr. Kindred spoke to the Seellys and they
have agreed to put the waterline on their property jacked under
the wetlands. The Seellys are willing to allow an easement to
their property but Mr. Seelly does not want to see the boardwalk.
IL
Mr. Nardella asked how long the boardwalk was. Mr. Rosati stated
it was 4' x 10' going from edge of the stream to edge of stream.
Mr. Rosati stated that they have offered the Seellys a fence
around their property so people would not cut through their
property if the boardwalk did flood.
Mr. Rosati stated that Mike Howard, Conservation Commissioner is
agreeing with boardwalk.
Mr. Mahoney said he would send a letter to the Conservation
Commission with respect to the water main and pedestrian access
in time for the Commission's meeting on Wednesday.
Mr. Rosati stated that at this point in time all issues are fine
with John Chessia, Town's Consultant. .Mr. Rosati asked if the
Board could put the Boardwalk in their decision.
Mr. Simons asked if the Conservation Committee is voting on the
Order of Conditions or on the drainage issues.
Mr. Nardella asked what the total number of houses that they are
planning to get. Mr. Rosati stated that 15 as a part of this
process. Mr. Rosati stated that Sandra Starr, Health
Administrator stated that there are 15 lots.
Mr. Simons asked that if the commission was giving the applicant
such a hard time what makes you think that they will give you 15
lots. Mr. Rosati stated that all the lots are out of the buffer
zone.
Mr. Nardella asked if there was ever talk about an access to
Duncan Drive. Mr. Rosati stated that there was no incentive to
put it through because it would be a large wetland crossing.
Mr. Mahoney stated that ConCom and Planning are doing two
parallel things based on each others conclusions.
On a motion by Mr. Nardella, seconded by Mr. Simons the Board
voted unanimously to extend the deadline for Brockview Estates
until April 3.0, 1997
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on March
4, 1997. The following members were present: Joseph V. Mahoney,
Chairman, Richard'Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison Lescarbeau, Clerk,
and John Simons. Kathleen Bradley Colwell was also present.
Ms. Colwell stated that she and Ms. Starr, Health Administrator,
will be attending the ConCom meeting on March 12, 1997 to talk
about the water main issues.
Mr. Kindred requested a continuance until March 18, 1997.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on March
18, 1997. The following members were present: Joseph V. Mahoney,
Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison Lescarbeau, Clerk,
Alberto Angles, Associate Member, Richard Nardella and Richard
Simons. Kathleen Bradley Colwell was also present.
Mike Rosati, Dave Kindred and Gary Kelloway were present
representing Brookview Estates. Mr. Mahoney stated that he spoke
with Mike Howard and Mike is in favor of this plan. Mike Rosati
stated that the Seellys have two concerns: the tree clearing and
the boardwalk.
Katherine Seelly, 167 Duncan Drive, stated that they have already
cut 2 large trees to grant the easement. There was water
completely up to her property line during the major rain storm in
October. She stated that if they put the boardwalk in that is
going to bring people to her property when the boardwalk is
flooded over. She would rather the boardwalk go somewhere else.
Mr. Kindred stated that if the boardwalk is put in the people
will get used to using it and when it is flooded they may use the
Seelly's property.
Ms. Lescarbeau stated that the people are going to find a way to
cross if its there or not. -.Ms. Lescarbeau feels that without the
boardwalk the Board would be approving a plan with open space
that will not be used.
Mr. Rowen stated that the Board prefers connecting neighborhoods.
He stated that he would like to find a way to make a dry path
even though children are going to find a way to get through.
Ms. Colwell asked if there was a way for this issue to be
resolved.
Mr. Mahoney stated that the town is a cluster of neighborhoods
that are not connected.
f Mr. Nardella suggested that they use a stone path to direct them
in the right way. Mr. Nardella also stated that -the Board's
first preference is connect roadways. The Board agreed to waive
this requirement due the large wetland crossing involved but
would require some sort of access.
f .
Ms. Seelly stated that she thinks it looks .more homier with a
cul-de-sac. Mr. Rosati stated that they plan on planting trees
to stop people from cutting through the Seelly's property. Mr.
Rosati also stated that there is a stone bridge that connects to
Wintergreen.
Mr. Kelloway stated that through the jacking area there is a path
and there are rocks that already exist.
Ms. Lescarbeau stated that the purpose of a PRD is to preserve
open space the is accessible.
Elsi Pouliot, asked if all open space is town owned. Mr. Mahoney
stated that no all of it but, most of it.
- a -
Ms. Colwell was directed to work out the path location with the
applicant for the next meeting.
Continued until April 1, 1997.
Due to a blizzard on April 1, 1997 the meeting was postponed
until April 8, 1997.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on April
8, 1997. The following members were present: Richard Rowen, Vice
Chairman, Alison Lescarbeau, Clerk, Alberto Angles, Associate
Member and Richard Nardella. Kathleen Bradley Colwell was also
present.
Mike Rosati, Dave Kindred and Gary Kelloway were all present
representing B'rookview Estates.. Ms. Colwell met with the Trails
Committee and with the applicants. There will be a 4"x4" hard
plastic sign that would be posted on the trees along the trail.
The path will meander along the The Conservation Commisiion will
review the wetland crossing. No big trees will be cut down. The
Trails Committee would prefer to put stone dust on the trail.
Mr. Rowen recommended that they backfill with woodchips over
where they install the drainage pipe.
Ann Barbagallo, an abutter, asked why do want to connect the
neighborhoods. Mr. Nardella stated that if your child wants to
go to another neighborhood and play they don't have to walk on a
main road and get hurt.
Ms. Barbagallo asked who was responsible of keeping up with the
bridge. Ms. Colwell stated that the Trails Committee who is
responsible.
Ms. Barbagallo asked if anyone from town could use this trail or
if it was just for the neighborhood. Mr. Rowen stated that any
North Andovercitizen could go on the trail.
Elsi Pouliot, of Boxford Street, stated that she walks Boxford
Street every day and would love to use the trail instead -of
walking on Boxford Street. Ms. Pouliot also stated that there is
300 acres of open space because of PRD's in town and would like
to make some use of that open space.
On a motion by Ms. Lescarbeau, seconded by Mr. Nardella the Board
voted unanimously to close the public hearing.
The Board directed Ms. Colwell to draft a decision.

Brookview Estates
Special.Permit- Planned Residential Development
Conditional Approval
The Planning Board herein APPROVES the Definitive Subdivision Approval for a fifteen (15) lot
Planned Residential Development (PRD) known as Brookview Estates. This application was
submitted by David Kindred, Brookview Country Homes, Inc., PO Box 531, North Andover, MA
01845 on September 2; 1996. The area affected contains approximately 43.31 acres of land in a
Residential - 1 Zone off ofBoxford Street.
The Planning Board makes the following findings:
A The specific site is an appropriate location for a Planned Residential Development as there is a
significant wetland resource area surrounding the buildable portion of the site. The overall
disturbance of the site will be minimized rough the development of a PRD.
B. The use as developed will not adversely affect the neighborhood as this site is located in a
Residential- 1 zoning district.
C. There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians.
D. 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 Planned
Residential Development is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Bylaw 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 most efficient use of land in harmony with its natural features by preserving
additional open space, and by limiting the amount of wetland filling required to access the site;
B. Encourage the preservation of open space. The applicant has provided approximately 25.91
acres of the property as Open Space;
C. Permit greater flexibility and more attractive and efficient design of residential development;
D. Meet the Town's housing needs by promoting a diversity of housing types.
The Planning Board finds that a base density of 15 new lots is appropriate for the Planned Residential
Development. This number of lots has been determined from the following plan: Conventional
Subdivision Plan, Brookview Estates in North Andover, MA, prepared for Brookview Country
Homes, Inc., PO Box 531, North Andover, MA 01845.
Finally, the Planning Board finds that the Planned Residential Development complies with Town Bylaw
requirements so long as the applicant complies with the following conditions:
The developer shall designate an independent Environmental Monitor who shall be chosen in
consultation with the Planning and Community Development Staff. The Environmental
Monitor must be available upon four (4) hours notice to inspect the site with the Planning
Board designated official. The Environmental Monitor shall make weekly inspections of the
project, meet monthly with the Town Planner and file monthly written reports to the Board
containing construction updates and any areas of non-compliance with the plans and conditions
of approval.
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 upon adjacent properties or public ways, except
as normally ancillary to off-site sewer and other off-site construction. Off-site erosion will be a
basis for the Planning Board making a finding that the project is not in compliance with the
plan.
3. Prior to endorsement of the plans by the Planning Board and recording with the Registry of
Deeds the applicant shall adhere to the following:
a) The fifty foot buffer zone around the perimeter of the PRD must be added to sheets 9 -
11 of the subdivision plan
b) The applicant shall post (per agreement with the North Andover Planning Board) a Site

contingencies that might affect the public welfare such as site -opening, clearing,
erosion control and performance of any other condition contained herein, prior to the
posting of the Performance Security as described in Condition 3(d) of the Definitive
Subdivision Conditional Approval. This Perlbrmance Guarantee may at the discretion
of the Planning Board be rolled over to cover other bonding considerations, be released
in full, or partially retained in accordance with the recommendation of the Planning
Staff and as directed by the vote of the North Andover Planning Board.
c) The 25.91 acres of Open Space as shown on the plan must be deeded to the Town
through the Conservation Commission. A perpetual restriction of the type described in
M.G.L. Chapter 184, Section 31 running to or enforceable by the town shall be

Re: Brookview Estates - subdivision/PRD
Dear Ms. Bradshaw,
The North Andover Planning Board held a public hearing on
Tuesday evening October 15, 1996, upon the application of
Brookview Country Homes Inc. P.O. Box 531, No. Andover, MA 01845
requesting a special permit under Section 8.5 of the North
Andover Zoning Bylaw. The legal notice was properly advertised
in the Lawrence Eagle Tribune on September 30 and October 7, 1996
and all parties of interest were duly notified. The following
members were present: Joseph V. Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen,
Vice Chairman, Alison Lescarbeau, Clerk, Alberto Angles,
Associate Member. Kathleen Bradley Colwell, Town Planner was
also present.
The petitioner requested a special permit for the
construction of a Planned Residential Development (PRD), with
eleven (11) new lots created. The site is located in the
Residential -2 (R-2) Zoning District.
Ms. Lescarbeau read the legal notices to open the public
hearings.
Mike Rosati, Marchionda Associates, presented the plans. A
preliminary plan was filed in February, but was denied by the
Planning Board due to incomplete soil testing. The proposed
definitive plan is for a 16 lot PRD off of Boxford Street
containing 43 acres. Mr. Rosati stated that the access across 2
narrow strips of wetland has been approved by Con Com. The.lot
sizes will be approximately 40,000 sq. ft with 50% of the land
being left as open space. The property will have septic systems
and will be on Town water. Mr. Rosati stated that at a TRC
meeting it was mentioned that a trail system be incorporated into
the plan showing a footbridge over the wetlands. Mr. Simons
stated that the proposed plan is predicated upon the preliminary
plan the Board did not approve and he does not believe 16. lots
are likely. Ms. Colwell stated that if the Planning Board
BOARD OF APPEALS 688-9541 BUILDING 688-9545 CONSERVATION 688-9530 HEALTH 688-9540 PLANNING 688-9535
allowed the road to be built, then Con Com would be forced to
approve the plan. Ms. Colwell read a letter from the Health
Department stating that in the conventional plan all the lots
perked. The septic testing has not been completed for a PRD
plan. Ms. Lescarbeau asked about a detention pond and Mr. Rosati
replied that there' is a very large watershed from Mosquito Brook
running through the site. There is also a huge detention area on
Boxford Street that eliminates the need for a detention pond.
Mr. Angles asked how long is the cul-de-sac and Mr. Rosati
replied 15001. There will be an island in the cul-de-sac. Elsie
Pouliot, an abutter, asked when the applicant will be before Con
Com and Mr. Rosati replied 2 or 3 weeks.
The Board discussed access to lots 2 and 6 which would require a
span bridge.
Buzz Seeley, Duncan Drive, is concerned about the water level and
flooding in his basement. A water pipe passes very close by his
well and he is concerned about contamination. Mr. Rosati stated
that a pipe will be dug 5 ;!� feet in the right-of-way in the road,
not on private property. Mr. Rosati further stated that if your
well is typical there should be no impact on your property.
Continued until November 19, 1996.

The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on
November 19, 1996. The following members were present: Joseph V.
Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison
Lescarbeau, Clerk, Alberto Angles, Associate Member, and Richard
Simons.
Mr. Mike Rosati presented a 16 lot PRD subdivision. Mr. Rosati
has met with Ms. Colwell, Mr. Howard, Mr. Chessia, and Mr.
Kindred to review the drainage and to try and keep the ball
rolling. Mr. Rosati stated that they are about to file with the
Con Com. Mr. Rosati stated that they might not have to construct
the detention areas, but they may need a waiver for the PRD
boundary. Ms. Colwell stated that this is a unique situation,
technically there will be an increase in water flow across the
PRD boundary, but not by the time you get to Boxford Street. The
biggest concern is water not backing up on Bradshaw property. The
applicant will work with the drainage consultant to size the
culvert appropriately. Mr. Rosati showed a conventional plan not
connecting to Duncan Drive with one less lot. In an effort to
move plan forward Mr. Kindred will go with this conventional plan
if necessary. Mr. Rowen asked if on the conventional plan does
the lot 11 meet all requirements. Mr. Rosati stated that it did.
Ms. Colwell stated that Mr. Rosati will have to submit
conventional plans to her. Mr. Simon commented to Ms. Colwell
about the flood plain on Boxford Street and how it flooded 2-3
feet during the storm. Mr. Simon asked how far the flood plain
was away from the septic system. Mr. Rosati stated that it was
far away and at a much higher elevation. Elsie Pouliot showed
pictures to the Board of water at Duncan Drive as a reason the
road should not connect to Duncan Drive. Mr. Simon asked how
much upland is open space. Mr. Rosati stated that total open
space is 25 acres and.the required is 15 acres, the total of
upland is 12 acres and the required is 11. Mr. Angles stated
that using topography to control run off is the best idea as long
as it is shown to our consultant that it does not create problems
at Boxford Street.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on
February 18, 1997. The following members were present: Joseph V.
Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison
Lescarbeau, Clerk, Richard Nardella and John Simons.
Dave Kindred and Mike Rosati were present representing Brookview
Estates. They have filed with ConCom. They are dealing with a
number of issues with Conservation Committee. One of the issues
is proposing to extend the water from Duncan Drive. Mr. Rosati
stated that they have a letter from John Chessia, the town's
outside consultant, stating that they can continue to drain into
the wetland resource area. Mr. Rosati,.stated that their biggest
concern is getting water to the subdivision. ConCom suggested
not to alter the wetlands to get the water through, he said.
Mr. Rosati stated that an option is to burrow a sleeve under the
wetlands. Ms. Lescarbeau asked what it would.cost for them to do
something like this. Mr. Rosati stated about $25,000 - $50,000.
Mr. Nardella stated that he thought that would be ludicrous to
make a developer spend that to avoid disturbing a small wetland
for a brief time.
Mr. Rosati stated that they wanted to create a path to Duncan
Drive and put a Boardwalk over the wetlands as an alteration.
Mr. Nardella asked if you need the boardwalk to get access. Mr.
Rosati stated yes.
Ms. Lescarbeau stated that she thought that the Planning Board
should write a letter to the Conservation Committee stating that
the Planning Board endorsed a water line tie-in and pedestrian
access from Duncan Drive. Mr. Rosati stated that the Seellys,
abutters, have the problem with the boardwalk because they feel
that when the boardwalk is flooded people will cut across their
property to get to Duncan Drive.
Elsie Pouliot, Boxford Street, stated that a lot of this negative
input is coming from the abutters because there is a stream that
runs behind the Seellys property and it increases flooding.
Mr. Rosati stated that Mr. Kindred spoke to the Seellys and they
have agreed to put the waterline on their property jacked under
the wetlands. The Seellys are willing to allow an easement to
their property but Mr. Seelly does not want to see the boardwalk.
IL
Mr. Nardella asked how long the boardwalk was. Mr. Rosati stated
it was 4' x 10' going from edge of the stream to edge of stream.
Mr. Rosati stated that they have offered the Seellys a fence
around their property so people would not cut through their
property if the boardwalk did flood.
Mr. Rosati stated that Mike Howard, Conservation Commissioner is
agreeing with boardwalk.
Mr. Mahoney said he would send a letter to the Conservation
Commission with respect to the water main and pedestrian access
in time for the Commission's meeting on Wednesday.
Mr. Rosati stated that at this point in time all issues are fine
with John Chessia, Town's Consultant. „-Mr. Rosati asked if the
Board could put the Boardwalk in their decision.
Mr. Simons asked if the Conservation Committee is voting on the
Order of Conditions or on the drainage issues.
Mr. Nardella asked what the total number of houses that they are
planning to get. Mr. Rosati stated that 15 as a part of this
process. Mr. Rosati stated that Sandra Starr, Health
Administrator stated that there are 15 lots.
Mr. Simons asked that if the commission was giving the applicant
such a hard time what makes you think that they will give you 15
lots. Mr. Rosati stated that all the lots are out of the buffer
zone.
Mr. Nardella asked if there was ever talk about an access to
Duncan Drive. Mr. Rosati stated that there was no incentive to
put it through because it would be a large wetland crossing.
Mr. Mahoney stated that ConCom and Planning are doing two
parallel things based on each others conclusions.
On a motion by Mr. Nardella, seconded by Mr. Simons the Board
voted unanimously to extend the deadline for Brookview Estates
until April 3.0, 1997

The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on March

Chairman, Richard'Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison Lescarbeau, Clerk,

Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison Lescarbeau, Clerk,
Alberto Angles, Associate Member, Richard Nardella and Richard
Simons. Kathleen Bradley Colwell was also present.
Mike Rosati, Dave Kindred and Gary Kelloway were present
representing Brookview Estates. Mr. Mahoney stated that he spoke
with Mike Howard and Mike is in favor of this plan. Mike Rosati
stated that the Seellys have two concerns: the tree clearing and
the boardwalk.
Katherine Seelly, 167 Duncan Drive, stated that they have already
cut 2 large trees to grant the easement. There was water
completely up to her property line during the major rain storm in
October. She stated that if they put the boardwalk in that is
going to bring people to her property when the boardwalk is
flooded over. She would rather the boardwalk go somewhere else.
Mr. Kindred stated that if the boardwalk is put in the people
will get used to using it and when it is flooded they may use the
Seelly's property.
Ms. Lescarbeau stated that the people are going to find a way to
cross if its there or not., Ms.. Lescarbeau feels that without the
boardwalk the Board would be approving a plan with open space
that will not be used.
Mr. Rowen stated that the Board prefers connecting neighborhoods.
He stated that he would like to find a way to make a dry path
even though children are going to find a way to get through.
Ms. Colwell asked if there was a way for this issue to be
resolved.
H
0
Mr. Mahoney stated that the town is a cluster of neighborhoods
that are not connected.
Mr. Nardella suggested that they use a stone path to direct them
in the right way.' Mr. Nardella also stated that.the Board's
first preference is connect roadways. The Board agreed to waive
this requirement due the large wetland crossing involved but
• would require some sort of access.
Ms. Seelly stated that she thinks it looks .more homier with a
cul-de-sac. Mr. Rosati stated that they plan on planting trees
to stop people from cutting through the Seelly's property. Mr.
Rosati also stated that there is a stone bridge that connects to
Wintergreen.
Mr. Kelloway stated that through the jacking area there is a path
and there are rocks that already exist.
Ms. Lescarbeau stated that the purpose of a PRD is to preserve
open space the is accessible.
Elsi Pouliot, asked if all open space is town owned. Mr. Mahoney
stated that no all of it but, most of it.
- a -
Ms. Colwell was directed to work out the path location with the
applicant for the next meeting.

Due to a blizzard on April 1, 1997 the meeting was postponed
until April 8, 1997.

Committee and with the applicants. There will be a 4"x4" hard
plastic sign that would be posted on the trees along the trail.
The path will meander along the The Conservation Commisiion will
review the wetland crossing. No big trees will be cut down. The
Trails Committee would prefer to put stone dust on the trail.
Mr. Rowen recommended that they backfill with woodchips over
where they install the drainage pipe.
Ann Barbagallo, an abutter, asked why do want to connect the
neighborhoods. Mr. Nardella stated that if your child wants to
go to another neighborhood and play they don't have to walk on a
main road and get hurt.
Ms. Barbagallo asked who was responsible of keeping up with the
bridge. Ms. Colwell stated that the Trails Committee who is
responsible.
Ms. Barbagallo asked if anyone from town could use this trail or
if it was just for the neighborhood. Mr. Rowen stated that any
North Andover citizen could go on the trail.
Elsi Pouliot, of Boxford Street, stated that she walks Boxford
Street every day and would love to use the trail instead.of
walking on Boxford Street. Ms. Pouliot also stated that there is
300 acres of open space because of PRD's in town and would like
to make some use of that open space.
On a motion by Ms. Lescarbeau, seconded by Mr. Nardella the Board

Brookview Estates
Special Permit- Planned Residential Development
Conditional Approval
The Planning Board herein APPROVES the Definitive Subdivision Approval for a fifteen (15) lot
Planned Residential Development (PRD) known as Brookview Estates. This application was
submitted by David Kindred, Brookview Country Homes, Inc., PO Box 531, North Andover, MA
01845 on September 2, 1996. The area affected contains approximately 43.31 acres of land in a
Residential - 1 Zone off of Boxford Street.
The Planning Board makes the following findings:
A The specific site is an appropriate location for a Planned Residential Development as there is a
significant wetland resource area surrounding the buildable portion of the site. The overall
disturbance of the site will be minimized through the development of a PRD.
B. The use as developed will not adversely affect the neighborhood as this site is located in a
Residential- 1 zoning district.
C. There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians.
D. 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 Planned
Residential Development is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Bylaw and that the
PRD contains residential development and open space in aavariety 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 most efficient use of land in harmony with its natural features by preserving
additional open space, and by limiting the amount of wetland filling required to access the site;
B. Encourage the preservation of open space. The applicant has provided approximately 25.91
acres of the property as Open Space;
C. Permit greater flexibility and more attractive and efficient design of residential development;
D. Meet the Town's housing needs by promoting a diversity of housing types.
The Planning Board finds that a base density of 15 new lots is appropriate for the Planned Residential
