Requested Article:
Authorization Massachusetts Electric Utility Easement— Drummond
Playground — and Authorization of a Petition to the Massachusetts Legislature
for Special Legislation. To see if the Town of North Andover will vote to authorize
the Board of Selectmen to grant a utility easement to Massachusetts Electric
Company on a parcel of land situated on the southwesterly side of Johnson Street,
being shown on Assessor's Map 96 as Lot 32 with the easement being shown on a
plan described as "North Andover OH to UG Commons Project" which is on file with
the Town Clerk's office on such terms as the Selectmen deem to be in the best
interest of the Town of North Andover and authorize a petition to the Massachusetts
Legislature for special legislation to accomplish the foregoing; or to take any other
action relative thereto.
Draft Motion:
Move to adopt the article as printed in the Warrant.
Reason(s) for Article:
A previous Annual Town Meeting vote authorized an underground utility project in the
Town Common Area. Town Counsel advises that the utility easement proposed on
the Drummond Playground requires approval by the Board of Selectmen, Town
Meeting approval, and special legislation approved by the Massachusetts Legislature
because the property was acquired by the Town for park and playground purposes.
