This Special Permit was requested by the Town of North Andover. The application was filed with the Planning Board on October 4, 2013. The public hearing on the above referenced application was opened on November 5, 2013, and closed by the North Andover Planning Board on November 19, 2013. The applicant submitted a complete application, which was noticed and reviewed in accordance with Section 8.3, 10.3, and 10.31 of the Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaw and MGL C.40A, Sec. 9. The Planning Board makes the following findings as required by the North Andover Zoning Bylaws Section 8.3 and 10.3: FINDINGS OF FACT: 1) The specific site is an appropriate location for the project as it consists of the construction of a 7, 380 sq. ft. office building on the site of the town's former police station, in the vicinity of other School Department facilities, including the Middle School the Pre-K School and the Kittredge School. The project will also include 34 parking spaces, associated stormwater drainage improvements, a driveway and landscaping; 2) The use as developed will not adversely affect the neighborhood as the building and the driveway have been situated in a location that will have the least amount of visual impact on the neighborhood as possible. Existing landscaping will be maintained on the northern side of the building and landscaping will be added along the proposed retaining wall that is to be built along Osgood St; 3) There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians. There will be one driveway to provide access to Main St, facilitating access among all adjacent existing school buildings and the new office building. The amount of traffic to be generated by an office building will be considerable less that that generated by the prior use on the site: the police department; 4) Adequate and appropriate facilities will be provided for the proper operation of the proposed use. The building is currently serviced by town water and sewer. The Division of Public Works has reviewed the application, utilities, and drainage and deemed them to be adequate; 5) Stormwater management improvements include the construction of a grassed drainage swale to be located on the northern side of the building. A deep sump catch basin will be installed in low the point of the parking lot, with drainage piped to the beginning of the swale, through a flared end section with a rip-rap outlet. The plans were reviewed and deemed adequate by the town's stormwater consultant, Lisa Eggleston. (see memo dated November 4, 2013); 6) An erosion control and maintenance plan will be been submitted to insure proper erosion control during construction. Finally the Planning Board finds that this project generally complies with the Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaw requirements as listed in Section 8.3.5, but requires conditions in order to be fully in compliance.
