FINDINGS OF FACT
I. On September 17,2019,the Planning Board approved a Site Plan Review,Multi-Family
Housing,Reduction in Parking, and Modification of Screening and Landscaping Special Permits
to allow for the construction of a market rate rental residential community to be known as,
consisting of a total of 136 studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units to be contained within
three(3) separate four-story garden-style buildings, stormwater management facilities,

Site Plan Review, Multi-Family&Modification of Parking Standards Special Permit Modifications
3. On September 17,2019,The Planning Board approved a Common Driveway Special Permits to
allow a shared driveway allowing access to a Multi-family development located at 505 Sutton
Street through a single curb cut at 477-505 Sutton Street. The Property is located in the Business
2 (132)and)Zoning District.
4. The September 17, 2019 approved Height Waiver Special Permit Conditioned"PRIOR TO ANY
SITE WORK, CONSTRUCTION,BUILDING PERMIT: Revised plans with building elevations
must be submitted to the Planning Board for review".
5. The Revised Site Plans and Elevations are to reflect the September 17,2019 approved Height
Waiver Special Permit FINDING OF FACT#4,"Building 3,a three-story building, is located at
the rear of the project site which abuts Surrey Drive to minimize massing along the residential
neighborhood. High and low canopy landscaping and offset wooded buffers between the
developed portions of the residential lots allows for appropriate screening for the Surrey Drive
neighborhood. Buildings 1 and 2,the four-story buildings, are located to the east of the site and
along a Sutton Street, a major road in a commercial area, across from an airport".
6. The specific Site is an appropriate location for such a use, structure or condition. The Site is
appropriate due to its location in a mixed-use neighborhood and at the junction of two major
roads,Route125 and Sutton Street. It is within proximity to commercial shopping, lifestyle and
job amenities and is within walking distance to a public park.
7. The use as developed will not adversely affect the neighborhood character. The proposed
multifamily use is compatible with other nearby residential and commercial uses,such as those
found in downtown North Andover(Commercial,residential and governmental)and along Route
125 and 133 (commercial,multifamily residential,and educational).
8. The Project will provide market rate rental housing which provides seniors with an opportunity to
downsize and age in place, and younger persons and others to afford a residential living
arrangement allowing them to either stay in the Town in which they grew up, or to live in a
community close to employment opportunities or other families in the area. The additional
residential units will also serve to provide an economic and community need by providing
additional purchasing power which can support local businesses.
9. There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians.Vehicular access to the
Site has been reduced to a single shared driveway and there are sidewalks along much of Sutton
Street.
10. Adequate and appropriate facilities will be provided for the proper operation of the proposed use:
The design and engineering of the multifamily structures will be in conformance with the most
recent building code in effect. The Project is adequately and appropriately serviced by municipal
water, sewer and other utilities that adequately address the needs of the Project. Stormwater
management facilities will provide adequate treatment of stoimwater in accordance with
applicable requirements.
11. The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this Zoning Bylaw. The Project will
substantially enhance the aesthetics of the Site with new building design,landscaping and
screening while at the same time providing development which is compatible with other nearby
residential,public,and commercial uses. Architecturally,the buildings were designed to be
compatible with the vernacular of the community. A number of aesthetic and architectural
features have been included in the design that draw from the surrounding neighborhoods and area
buildings. Building 3, a three-story building, is located at the rear of the project site which abuts
3
505 Sutton. Street,Map 74 Lots 23,24,54
Site Plan Review,Multi-Family&Modification of Parking Standards Special Permit Modifications
Surrey Drive to minimize massing along the residential neighborhood. High and low canopy
landscaping and offset wooded buffers between the developed portions of the residential lots
allows for appropriate screening for the Surrey Drive neighborhood. Buildings 1 and 2,the four-
story buildings, are located to the east of the site and along a Sutton Street, a major road in a
commercial area, across from an airport.
12. At the May 2018 North Andover Town Meeting,the Town voted to Amend the Zoning Map to
rezone 505 Sutton Street(Map 74 Parcel 23)and 0 Sutton Street(Map 74 Parcel 54)from
General Business(GB)to Business 2 (B2)and 477 Sutton Street(Map 74 Parcel 24)from
Residential 4(R4)to Business 2 (132).
13. The owner of a series of parcels of land on Sutton Street, Sutton Street Redevelopment,has
agreed to donate a portion of that land for the construction of a new Senior Center. At the May
2018 Annual Town Meeting the Town voted to authorize the Board of Selectmen to accept a
donation or gift of a parcel of land located on Sutton Street consisting of approximately 57,300
square feet more or less as shown on the plan entitled"Plan Showing Division of Land for a
Town Meeting Warrant Article in North Andover,Massachusetts 477 &505 Sutton Street,"dated
April 11,2018 prepared by The Morin-Cameron Group,Inc. for the purpose of construction of a
Senior Center and necessary parking spaces or any other public purpose on terms and condition
the Board deems to be in the best interest of the Town.
14. According to the Traffic Study submitted by Vanasse Associates,Inc.:
a) The project is expected to generate 740 new vehicle trips on an average weekday(370
entering and 370 exiting),with approximately 49 new vehicle trips(13 entering and 36
exiting)expected during the weekday morning peak hour, and 60 new vehicle trips (37
entering and 23 exiting) during the weekday evening peak hour.
b) A single curb-cut will be constructed on Sutton Street with the development of this project.
c) Based on the results of the traffic analysis,the Site driveway shall be placed under STOP-
sign control,with a painted STOP-bar included,
d) Pedestrian crossing signage will be installed at the marked crosswalk at the main access
driveway to the Site.
e) All signs and other pavement marking installed within the development Site shall conform to
the applicable standards of the current Manual on Uniforms Traffic Devices(MUTCD).
f) Any landscaping or signage in the vicinity of the driveways should be chosen and located so
that sign distance is not obstructed. Landscaping should be maintained in the area of the
driveways to maintain safe lines of sight for exiting and approaching vehicles.
g) The Site will accommodate a connection to the proposed Senior Center which is one-way
towards the Senior Center.
15. The proposed project provides a total of215 spaces(1.56 SP/Unit; 95 surface spaces and 119
garage spots)where 224 spaces(1.25 SP/Unit for studio, 1.5 for I BD and 2 per 2 BD)are
required in accordance with the Section 195-8.4 ("Off-street parking requirements"). The 1.56
SP/Unit parking ratio exceeds the current industry demand and exceeds the average statistical
demand for parking in a mid-rise apartment of 1.35 space/unit(Reference: Institute of
Transportation Engineers:Parking Generation Manual 41 Edition). Accordingly,the Applicant
has requested a Special Permit for a reduced number of proposed parking spaces in accordance
with Article 8 Section 195-8.8. The request is based upon the varying peak demands of the
various uses on the Site, and in conjunction with a reduction of parking spaces based upon
projected use,the parking at the Site will not cause detriment to the surrounding neighborhood
since the proposed parking program for the Site will not increase traffic congestion or queuing or
otherwise result in unsafe conflict of motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

16. In accordance with Section Article 8 195-8.8.D. ("Reduction in parking"),the Project will
involve parking for residential uses.The proposed parking layout will not cause detriment to the
surrounding neighborhood through increased traffic volumes,will not result in increased
congestion or queuing since circulation will be enhanced through shared parking, access points
and access to the Site, and the parking design will not result in any unsafe conflict of motor
vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
17. Approximately 56%of the parking will be in garages under each of the buildings, out of sight and
offering enclosed/weather protected parking for the residents. The surface parking incorporates
extensive landscape islands and perimeter screening to minimize the footprint of pavement.
18. The Special Permit request to Modify Screening and Landscaping standard allows for interior
islands to have up to 14 parking spaces facing each other between landscape islands where a
maximum of 10 is allowed per the bylaw,allowing for better interior circulation and access.
19. The Plan reflects extensive discussions with the Planning Board,Peer Review Consultants,the
Planning Department, other Town Departments,and the Applicant with respect to Site design and
stormwater management.
20. The stormwater management is designed in accordance with the Town Bylaw requirements and
Best Management Engineering and Practices, and the most recent version of the MA DEP
Stormwater Handbook, and the Plan reflects extensive discussions and review by the Town's
outside consultant engineer,Horsley Witten Group.The proposed runoff from the impervious
areas of the Site will be drained through a closed drainage system to subsurface storage/non-
infiltrating detention systems. The Project's permanent stormwater measures include: deep sump
catch basins with hood outlets. The Site will have three onsite rain gardens providing low impact
stormwater management in addition to subsurface infiltration/detention system. There were
extensive discussions between the Town's outside consultant engineer and the Project Engineer
related to the overall design and long term Stormwater Operations&Maintenance Plan. (See
correspondence from Horsley Witten Group, dated July 1, 2019,July 10,2019,August 19,2019,
and email correspondence dated Sept. 16, 2019, and The Morin-Cameron Group,Inc. dated
August 13,2019 and August 29,2019).
21. The Plan reflects extensive discussion and review with TEC,Inc.,the Town's civil peer review
consultant and meets the requirements of the Town for Site Plan Review as stated in Article 8
Part 3 of the Zoning Bylaw. (See correspondence dated August 12,2019, and September 3,2019
and Morin-Cameron Group,Inc. dated August 13,2019,),
22. The North Andover Public School Assistant Superintendent, James Mealey,has reviewed the
project and concurs that given the lack of 3-bedroom units and that these units will be market rate
it is not anticipated that this development will have a significant impact on school enrollment or
the school budget.(see correspondence dated June 25,2019).
23. The project will provide for municipal water, sewer and utilities on-site to adequately address the
needs of the Project. Site grading shall be coordinated with the Senior Center site construction
project due to the shared access driveway. (See memo from T.Willett, DPW Operations
Manager and John Borgesi,Town Engineer dated June 27, 2019).
