MEADOWOOD II
SPECIAL PERMIT, RESIDENTIAL -6 ZONING DISTRICT (R-6)
The Planning Board herein approves the Special Permit requested
by Hillside Realty Trust, dated 8/19/93 in accordance with
Sections 4.125, 10.3 and 10.31. The Planning Board makes the
following findings regarding this Special permit for the
construction of 10 single family dwellings (13 lots) with a
minimum 5,000 square foot lot and minimum frontage of 75 feet in
a Residential -6 District. Three houses currently exist on-site.
Two of the houses will remain on Lots 1 and 11. The third house
will be relocated to Lot 2.
A. The specific site is an appropriate location for such a use;
B. The use as developed will not adversely affect the
neighborhood;
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.
E. The application before use is in harmony with the general
purpose and intent of this Bylaw.
The Planning Board also makes the findings under Section 4.125 of
the Zoning Bylaw that the proposed Residential -6 development is
in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Bylaw. The
development is sufficiently advantageous to the Town and promotes
the public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of
the Town of North Andover. In particular, the Planning Board
finds that this project will:
A. Promote the more efficient use of the land in harmony with
its natural features;
B. Encourage the preservation of the existing tree line and
provide for a conservation easement;
C. Permit greater flexibility and more diverse, efficient, and
economical design of residential developments;
D. Facilitate economical and efficient provisions of utilities;
E. Meet the Town's housing needs by promoting different types
of housing which is a benefit to the residents of North
Andover.
F. Conform to the overall intent of the R-6 District
concerning the lot design, road layout and other site
features. In addition, the Planning Board finds that even
though this parcel contains only 2.3 acres, it meets the
standards of the R-6 district because the design fits the
overall master plan for the contiguous property in the R-6
district.
Finally, the Planning Board finds that the R-6 complies with the
Zoning Bylaw requirements so long as the following additional
conditions are complied with. Therefore, in order to fully
comply with the approval necessary to construct the R-6 as
specified in this Special Permit application, the Planning Board
herein grants this approval provided the following conditions are
met:
1. The proposed 13 lots are shown in accordance with a 2.33
acre minimum of contiguous parcel of land in single
ownership/consolidated ownership. A variance granted by the
North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals permits this
development on the reduced minimum acreage requirement of 3
acres.
2. Prior to Endorsement of the Plans by the Planning Board, the
applicant shall adhere to the following:
a. The applicant shall post a bond in the amount of
$10,000 to be held by the Town of North Andover. The

cover any contingencies that might affect the public
welfare such as site opening, clearing, erosion control

considerations, be released in full or partially
retained in accordance with the recommendation of the
Planning Staff as directed by the vote of the North
Andover Planning Board.
b. A complete construction schedule shall be given to the
Town Planner for review and approval. This schedule
should include the sewer and drainage lines and all

HEALTH DEPA RTW NT - NORTH ANDOVER, MSS.
I hereby make application for a permit for a sewage disposal installation at
Hillside Rd. . I will install this system in ac-
cordance with all the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and regulations of
the Board of Health of the Town of North Andover.
Further, I will construct the house sewer of bell and spigot pipe, the minimum
diameter being 4 inches, and will maintain a minimum grade of Vo until 10 feet pre-
ceding the septic tank, where the grade shall not exceed 2%. I will install a con-
crete septic tank of _750 gal. in size. A manhole (s) permitting easy cleaning
will be provided with removable cover (s) of iron or concrete within 12 inches of
the ground surface. I will provide subsurface disposal field with 4 inch perforated
or open jointed pipe and laid in a series of trenches, the bottom of which will pro-
vide a minimum of 240 lineal (sem) feet of effective absorption area.
The pipes will be laid on a 6 inch layer of washed gravel or crushed stone ranging
in size from 3/4 to 1-1/2 inches (dia.) and the pipes will be surrounded by similar
material to a height of 2 inches above the crown of the pipe. The joints of these
pipes will be protected from clogging and before filling the trench, 2 inches of
gravel or stone 1/8" to 1/4" (dia.) will be placed over the course gravel or stone.
The disposal field will be installed at a grade of 4 to 6 inches/100 feet. No single
tile line will exceed 100 feet in length and in any case, two lines of tile will be
installed. A minimum of 6 feet will be maintained between the center lines of the
disposal field trenches and the average depth of trench shall not exceed 36 inches.
No part of the installation will be less than 100 feet from any private water supply,
25 feet from any stream, 20 feet from any dwelling or 10 feet from any property line.
I further agree not to cover any portion of this installation until approved by the
inspection officer, as provided below, and to incorporate any additional requirements
that may be attached to the permit. Plot Plans must be submitted with application.

Dear Miss Sheridan:
An examination was made as requested in order to determine the
suitability of the soil for the subsurface disposal of sewage on the

The land in general is high.
The subsoil in the area was of clay content and a 10-ininute

It is recommended that a 750 gallon concrete septic tank be
installed together with 240 lineal feet of drain pipe.
