This Site Plan Review application was submitted by Brooks School on April 21, 2011. The public hearing on the above referenced application was opened on May 17, 2011, and closed by the North Andover Planning Board on May 17, 2011. The applicant submitted an 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 is located in the Residential 1 and 2 (Bland R2) Zoning District and consists of a 12,000 sq. ft. dormitory with two attached faculty residences and one faculty apartment, with associated drainage and site improvements; 2) The site located partially within the General Zone of the Watershed Protection Zone and thus will have negligible impact on the quality of water entering Lake Cochichewick. The remaining portion of the site is located outside of the Watershed Protection Zone. 3) The use as developed will not adversely affect the neighborhood as the new dormitory has been situated in a location that will have the least amount of visual impact on the neighborhood as possible. The building will be located in the center of the existing campus, close to existing dormitory buildings and will not be visible from most abutting properties; 4) There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians. The overall layout of the site has been designed to be incorporated into the existing school campus, and will utilize existing parking as well as traffic entrances and exits to the site; S) 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. Perimeter drains will be located around the building to capture stormwater and to direct it to the existing drainage system. 6) A notice of the public hearing was sent to all abutters within 300 feet of the project. The applicant presented the project at the public hearing and answered all questions and addressed all issues raised by the Planning Board.
