North Andover Board of Appeals, Planning Board Dear Members of the Board of Appeals: (617) 451-0750 I am pleased to inform you that the plaintiffs in the above case have agreed to withdraw their motion for partial summary judgment. This withdrawal was made in deference to our on-going efforts to settle this litigation which began in 1985. This matter relates to applications made for special permits under the Town's Watershed By -Law for Lot B, Great Pond Road and 695 Bradford Street. You may recall that these applications were made around the time when the Zoning By -Laws governing construction in the Watershed District were being amended by Town i4eeting. One of the results of these changes was that jurisdiction over special permits in the Watershed District shifted from the Planning Board to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Before the zoning change was voted, the plaintiffs had filed an application for a special permit with the Planning Board. In light of the zoning change, the Board did not act on the application. The plaintiffs then filed with the Zoning Board of Appeals, which application was subsequently denied. The plaintiffs then brought suit against both boards. Based on my discussions with Scott Stocking and, more recently, Karen Nelson, it is my understanding that both boards M t ' KOPELMAN AND PAIGE, P. C. Zoning Board of Appeals March 6, 1989 Page 2 are prepared to settle this matter. The Planning Board recently discussed the suit and decided that, since it had never acted on the application, it should refer the matter to the Zoning Board of Appeals. I understand that you will be discussing this case at your March 16, 1989 meeting at which time you will explore the possibility of settlement. Counsel for plaintiffs has agreed to delay prosecution of their suit while the Town considers settlement. Please let me know if I can provide you with any information to help you in discussing this case. Very truly yours, Joel B.

The Plaintiffs reallege and incorporate herein the allegations made in Paragraph 1 through 15 of this Complaint. I 17. In March of 1985, Plaintiff John F. McGarry, Trustee of Mill Trust, purchased a three (3) acre -2- undeveloped parcel of land known as Lot B Great Pond Road, North Andover, Massachusetts hereinafter "the Premises" by deed recorded at North Essex Registry of Deeds at Book 1941, Page 175. The parcel was to be developed by Coolidge Construction Co., Inc. into a single family residence. 18. 18. On or about March 13, 1985, the Plaintiff submitted to the Defendant, North Andover Planning'Board, and to its members, Paul A. Hetstrom, Michael P. Roberts, John A. James, John J. Burke and Eric W. Nitzsche, hereinafter the "Planning Board", a request for a special permit under Section 4.133 (3)(d) of the North Andover Zoning By -Laws. This request specifically sought permission to construct the dwelling and the driveway therefor on the Premises, within one hundred (100) feet to a tributary to Lake Cochichewick. 19. Plaintiffs' request for a special permit was necessitated by the fact that the shape of the lot made it impossible to design the dwelling and the driveway without crossing the one hundred (100) foot zone. 20. Despite these problems the Plaintiffs took all conceivable safeguards to assure that the proposed construction had a de minis impact on the Watershed District. 21. However, the Planning Board failed to hold a public hearing on Plaintiffs' Application within sixty-five (65) days of its filing as mandated in Section 10.3 of the town of North Andover Zoning By -Laws. In addition, it failed to render a final decision on the Application. Rather, the Planning Board required Plaintiffs to resubmit their application to the Board of Appeals -3- and to its members, Francis Serio, Alfred Frizelle, William Sullivan, Raymond Vivenzio, Walter Soule, and Augustine Nickerson, hereinafter the "Board of Appeals". On or about September 24, 1985, more than six (6) months after the filing of the Plaintiffs' application with the Planning Board, the Board of Appeals filed its Notice of Decision with the Clerk for the Town of North Andover denying Plaintiffs' Request for a special permit. A copy of this Notice of Decision is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "A". 22. In denying Plaintiffs' request for a special permit the Defendants have effectively made it impracticable or impossible to construct a residential unit on the Premises, although zoning for that lot essentially prohibits any other use, although the Defendants have failed to specify any adverse effects that would result from the construction requested within the one hundred (100) foot zone, and although the Defendants failed to suggest to Plaintiffs any safeguards that would reduce any adverse effects to acceptable limits. COUNT I 23. Plaintiffs reallege and incorporate herein the allegations made in Paragraphs 1 through 22 of this Complaint. 24. The decision of the Board of Appeals to deny Plaintiffs' request for a special permit was based upon matters irrelevant to the proposed construction. The denial focused upon the effects of the septic system. However, not only was this septic system designed in accordance with State and local safety regulations, but more importantly its construction was not even before the Board of Appeals since it was located outside of -4- the one hundred (100) foot zone over which The Board of Appeals had jurisdiction. Rather, approval or a disproval of the septic system resided with other Town and State authorities. 25. In denying Plaintiffs' request for a special permit, the Defendants exceeded their authority by acting on legally untenable grounds or in a manner which was either unreasonable, whimsical, capricious or arbitrary. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request the following relief: a. That the Board of Appeals' decision to deny Plaintiffs' request for a special permit be annulled; b. That Plaintiffs' request for a special permit be remanded to the Planning Board or appropriate authorities for further consideration under specific directions by the Court; c. That Plaintiffs' request for a special permit be granted and that the matter be remanded to the Planning Board or appropriate authority so as to allow them to impose reasonable safeguards on the proposed construction, thereby reducing any adverse impact on the Watershed District to acceptable limits; and d. Such other relief as justice and equity may require. COUNT II 26. Plaintiffs reallege and incorporate herein the allegations contained in Paragraphs 1 through 25 of this Complaint. 27. In denying Plaintiffs' request for a special permit, the Board of Appeals has unlawfully taken Plaintiffs' property without just compensation by exercising its zoning powers in such -5- a manner, and to such an extent, as to deprive the Plaintiffs' land of all practicable value, leaving the Plaintiffs with only the burden of paying taxes on it. 28. In denying Plaintiffs' request for a special permit, the Board of Appeals has thus violated Plaintiffs' rights under the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, under the United States Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 1983, under Article X, Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and under the Massachusetts Civil Rights Act MGL Chapter 12, Section 11I. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request the following relief : a. That the Board of Appeals' decision to deny Plaintiffs' request for a special permit be annulled; b. That Plaintiffs' request for a special permit be remanded to the Planning Board or appropriate authority for further consideration under specific directions by this Court; c. That Plaintiffs' request for a special permit be granted and that the matter be remanded to the Planning Board or appropriate authorities so as to allow them to impose reasonable safeguards on the proposed construction, thereby reducing any adverse impact on the Watershed District to acceptable limits; d. That this Court award Plaintiffs Two Hundred Seventy-five Thousand ($275,000.00) Dollars as compensation for the damages sustained by Plaintiffs as a result of the Defendants interference with Plaintiffs' use of Lot B, Great Pond Road, North Andover, Massachusetts and as compensation for the decrease in the fair market value thereof; e. That this Court award Plaintiffs the costs and attorney's fees incurred in bringing this action; and f. Such other relief as justice and equity may require. COUNT I I I 29. Plaintiffs realleage and incorporate herein the allegations made in Paragraphs 1 through 28 of this Complaint. 30. Plaintiffs' submitted their plan of land for the premises under MGL Chapter 41, Section 81P on or about July 6, 1984 and thus, under MGL Chapter 40A, Section 6 were entitled to the uses allowed under applicable zoning law then in existence. Prior to the submission, the Planning Board not only had exclusive jurisdiction over special permits but, more importantly, the Planning Board had universally approved special permits where the environmental conditions and proposed construction were identical to Plaintiffs'. 31. After the submission, the North Andover Zoning ordinance and By-laws were revamped:.jurisdiction over the special permits was shifted from the Planning Board to the Board of Appeals and a moratorium on the issuance of building permits within the North Andover Warershed District was instituted. 32 In violation of MGL Chapter 40A, Section 6 these subsequent changes in zoning plan law were applied to the use of Plaintiffs' land. Particularly, the Board -7- of Appeals rendered a decision on Plaintiffs' request for a special permit and not the Planning Board. In addition, the Zoning Board of Appeals applied a new standard of review to Plaintiffs' request. Finally, in denying Plaintiff's request, the Zoning Board of Appeals effectively applied the moratorium to Plaintiffs' land, thus denying Plaintiffs the right to use their land in the manner in which they were entitled under MGL Chapter 40A, Section 6. 33. In denying Plaintiffs' request for a special permit, the Defendants thus exceeded their authority by acting on legally untenable grounds or in a manner which was either unreasonable, whimsical, capricious or arbitrary. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request the following relief : a. That the Board of Appeals' decision to deny Plaintiffs' request for a special permit be annulled; b. That Plaintiffs' request for a special permit be remanded to the Planning Board or appropriate authorities for further consideration under specific directions by the Court; c. That Plaintiffs' request for a special permit be granted and that the matter be remanded to the Planning Board or appropriate authority so as to allow them to impose reasonable safeguards on the proposed construciton, thereby reducing any adverse impact on the Watershed District to acceptable limits; and d. Such other relief as justice and equity may require. COUNT IV 34. Plaintiffs reallege and incorporate herein the allegations made in Paragraphs 1 through 33 of this Complaint. 35. In direct violation of MGL Chapter 40A, Section 9, the Defendants failed to take final action on Plaintiffs' Application for a Special Permit within ninety-five (95) days after the time mandated for a public hearing under Section 10.3 of the Town of North Andover Zoning By -Laws. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that this Court declare Plaintiffs' Request for a Special Permit constructively approved. COUNT V 36. Plaintiffs reallege and incorporate herein the allegations contained in Paragraph 1 through 35 of this Complaint. 37. In denying Plaintiffs' request for a special permit, the Defendants acted with gross negligence, in bad faith or with malice. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that judgment be entered against the Defendants for the costs incurred by the Plaintiffs in bringing this action.

South Bradford St., Lot,2/3/4/5 Petition #37-85 . The Board of Appeals held a public hearing on Monday. August 12; '. 1985 upon the application of Coolidge Construction Co. The hearing was advertised in the North Andover Citizen on May 23 and 30, 1985 and . all abutters were notified by regular mail. The following members were present and voting: Chairman Frank Serio, Jr., Vice Chairman Alfred E. Frizelle, Esq., Augustine W. Nickerson, Clerk, Walter F. Soule and Raymond A. Vivenzio. The petitioner seeks a special permit pursuant to Section 4.133(3)(d) for construction of three dwellings on the site, in addition to the existing dwelling. The site has two brooks and wetlands area which. require that a special permit to construct within 100' of a tributary. The petitioner's representative testified that the proposed development will require theadditional approval of the Planning Board and the Conservation Commission and then will require a variance fromthe Board* of Appeals. The board upon a motion by Mr. Frizelle and seconded by Mr. Soulb votes unanimously to DENY the special permit. The board finds that the proposed development and the delicate nature of the land within the no -build area set forth in the ByLaw does not meet the requirements of Section 10.31 of the Zoning ByLaws. Particularly because of the absence of sewage to the site and the site is not an appropriate location for the proposed use in light of its proximity to a tributary to the lake and the increase of sewage to the site. The proposed use would in the opinion of the board have an adverse affect on the neighborhood, in that the Town has, in an effort to stem the pollution of the lake, imposed a moratorium on building around the lake. Although the moratorium does not affect this site, the board considers the mandate of the Town to be compelling.

Gentlemen: June 10, 1985 Re: Petition of Coolidge Construction, rSo. Bradford Street TSL. 888-8102 Although no application was made for a building permit, I have personally walked the land in question and find that a Special Permit is required for construction within 100 feet of a tributary. The land in question appears to be a very sensitive environmental area not too far from Lake Cochichewick. The application does not supply any information regarding the environ= mental impact upon Lake Cochichewick. There are no reports from either the Board of Health or Conservation Commission. I recommend that the Zoning Board of Appeals take no action until complete environmental reports are submitted by professionals and other concerned town agencies. Very truly yours, CHARLES H.

P.�A�hlh� BOR80 TOWN OF NORTH ANUOVE't MASSACHUSETTS MEMOMNDUM TO: Frank Serio, Chairman, Bd. of Appeals FROM: Michael Roberts, Chairman DATE: June 10, 1985 SUBJ: Watershed District Special Permits Based on.Town Counsel's letter dated May 8, 1985, a building permit and special permit had to be approved by March,1985), (the date of the first moratorium legal notice) in order for the Pl-nning Board to maintain its jurisdiction under Sction 4.133(d). Therefore, the purpose of this memo is to take the opportunity to comment on each application, now before the Zoning Board of Appeals. B. Angus Realty Trust This plan was reviewed by the Planning dd. at several public meetings. The new proposal is 'to remove the, existing store and construct a larger retail complex. Drainage is being directed away from Lake Cochichewick by regrading the site, in addition to tying into the new sewer line. After considerable review and input from other departments, we recommend that the applicant modify the plans by removing that portion of the building within 350 feet of the Lake and enlarging the building elsewhere. The applicant can accomodate this change on the plan. C.& D. Daher & Sobel: Great Pond Rd. The Planning Bd. approved a common drivewa,- for these two lots to provide access to Lot #14 Great Pond Rd. The approval was based on several conditions listed in the recision (a copy of which was forwarded to your Board). If the applicant strictly adheres to the Planning Board's decision, ae recommend that your hoard approve the special_ permit provided the applicant completes the driveway construction by Septmeber 1,1985. A 1% 1 Watershed District Special ;permits Page Two 1 E. F. Coolidge Construction: Great Pond Rd. The history of this parcel dates back to a June 1984 Preliminary Subdivision Plan disapproved showing 3 lots. A definitive plan was resubmitted showing 2 lots on a cul-de-sac. We had previously advised the applicant that due to the environmental sensitivity of the parcel, one lot would be the most feasible, thus eliminating the road construction and crossing of a tributary to the Lake. 9n June 3, 1985, the Planning Bd. accepted the applicant's request to withdraw the subdivision without prejudice. We would recommend that there be no decitiion made on this special permit until the Conservation Comwl.ssion has reviewed and provided the necessary input on the i:ipact on both the wetlands and Lake. Coolidge Construction �. The proposed new house and common driveway constriction on lots 2-5 on plan show considerable construction activity on a 7 acre parcel of land located entirely in the Watershed District. It is this type of development that should be scrutinized by the Board of Health (for both the septic and well proposal) and the Conservation Commission concerning he impact on wetlands. The driveway, house locations and septic systems should be staked and we recommend a joint site visit to view the proposed construction impact. Lastly, the applicant must go before the Fanning Board for a special permit to construct a common driveway. G. Coolidge Construction: Dale Street Would you kindly provide our office with a plan to review in order to make the appropriate recommends-ic1s. We would appreciate notification of any .forthcoming applications and plans for construction by special permit in the Watershed District. We realize that your Board has been inundated with these requests, and would like to offer any assistance in processing or reviewing these plans as you see needed. Thank you. /kp t J \ Date J9 05..
