Real Estate Matters
The Town Manager provided two draft letters for the Board's review in an effort to come to an agreement with Ozzy
Properties existing sewer line and the GLSD. The first letter is to Mr.Connors of the GLSD regarding the short-term
interest to promote the development of the residential units in the 40R Smart Growth District.The town is requesting
that the GLSD modify its current agreement with Ozzy Properties to allow sewer service to the 40R Smart Growth
District under certain conditions. This modified agreement with Ozzy Properties will expire upon the town acquiring
ownership of the sewer lines or providing sewer service.
The Board suggested changes and specifically added that the time frame should be within three to five years and
asked that the Town Manager meet with Lenny Degnan before sending letter to GLSD.
Attorney Thomas Urbelis said that the town received the State 40R funding of$600,000 in February 2008. But the
Town should check with Curt Bellavance on the exact starting date for the 40R project before inserting dates for a
building permit within three years and an occupancy permit within five years.
The second document is a draft proposed structure of business between 1600 Osgood Street, LLC and Town of
North Andover conceming the Town's acquisition of sewer rights situated at 1600 Osgood Street and regarding the
long-term interest to extend the sewer line out to Route 125 and from there along Route 125. This sewer extension
will be extremely beneficial in terms of future economic development.
The Town Manager read the document and asked the Board to review and make changes as needed. The Board
suggested changes and asked the Town Manager to make adjustments to the draft agreement and work with the
subcommittee and Attorney Urbelis to finalize these documents.
