The following regular voting members were present,D. Paul Koch,Jr,Ellen P.McIntyre,Allan Cuscia,
Nathan J. Weinreieh,and Alexandria A.Jacobs. The Board voted to close the public hearing.
Upon a motion by Ellen P.McIntyre,seconded by Allan Cuscia to Grant the Variances requested for the
Property to allow for side setback(40'required,26'proposed)making it a variance of 14', a front setback
(100' feet required, 26' proposed) making it a variance of 74', and a rear ,setback (50' required, 35.5'feet
proposed)snaking it a variance of 14.5'.
The members that voted in favor of the variances were D.Paul Koch Jr.,Nathan J.Weinreieh,and Allan
Cuscia. Those that voted not in favor were Alexandria A.Jacobs and Ellen P.McIntyre.
By a vote of Three(3)in favor and Two(2) opposed,the motion was defeated.
Although,the chairman of the Board inadvertently stated that the variances had been approved,
Massachusetts General Law c.40A,s. 15 and the North Andover Zoning Bylaw section 10.4(2)
provides that a concurring vote of four(4)members of the Board consisting of five(5) members is
necessary to grant a variance. The Board,however,voted three(3)in favor of the variances (D.
Paul Koch Jr.,Nathan J.Weinreieh,and Allan Cuscia)and two(2)opposed to the variances(Ellen
P.McIntyre and Alexandria A.Jacobs) resulting in a denial of the application for variances.
The Board finds that the Variances for the petition of Connic and Nick Vergados, located at 1717
Turnpike Street received three(3)votes in favor to grant the Variances and two(2)votes in opposition,
and that the application did not receive the required superrnajority of four(4)votes to grant the Variances.
The grounds for Denial were because the petitioner did not satisfy the required circumstances pursuant to
petition filed,and that the Petitioner did not satisfy the provisions under Section 4.131 in the GB District
of the Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaws,and that such a change, or extension or alteration would
adversely affect the neighborhood. The Board finds that the petition for Connie and Nick Vergados,
located at 1717 Turnpike Street did not receive the required supermajority of four(4)votes,so the
Variances are denied.
Notes:
I. This decision shall not be in effect until a copy of this decision is recorded at the Essex County
Registry of Deeds,Northern District at the Applicant's expense.
2. The granting of the Variance(s)as requested by the Applicant does not necessarily ensure the
granting of a building permit as the Applicant must abide by all applicable local,state,and federal
building codes and regulations,prior to the issuance of a building permit as required by the
Inspector of Buildings.
3. If the rights authorized by the Variance(s)are not exercised within one(1)year of the date of the
grant, such rights shall lapse and may be re-e t blished after notice and a new hearing.
