Hi Jennffer,,
I'm at a loss,as to What further steps or ass,15tance we can take regarding trucks lin your area. As, I've mentioned befoire,
there. are NO legal rest:irictiins on tracks on your streets. The reqUest to,limit trucks was offered aS a CoUrtesy from
Merrimack Cbltego,,and everl thOlUgh they are teffing me they are Ipaassirngthe word on to, their delivery and c�ontraictor
cornpaniles, it appears it isn't niaking it to,the worker level,
I did check with North Andover's bUildiing department through Oltr iinspector, and they did not put any truck restOctions
on the project has far,as I knio ',we haven't issued any pernilts,for Andover site work yet, ,sio we have no,controll over
their end of the project),
I'm CC'iq.9 Chris Clemente (Budding Inspector)., BUZZ Stap,Uyliski (Town Manager) and my AP'D Coniniand staff to,keep
them posted.

Good morning,
I spore with the dispatcher at Carnpus Police to let Merr!tin ack know that there was another construction vehicle parked
in front of my hofne at 6,30 AM %Vrtb its engine idling, It`s nice that a fence leas been recently put tip but the Consti'uction
workers opened the fence to let him in, (Bofore,7) Tfic Campus Police Officer jkist shuI the gate and said he would speak
with the Chief. I do appreciate that but it's not solving the problem_
I have called Campus Police numerous times over the past couple of months only to be told by the dispatcher that "sire
doesn't know anything about it" or"it's a public road."We were told by Merrimack that the trucks would be using
Campus roads not knock Midge at many Pinning Board meetings. I was told by a few of the drivers that they were told
by whomever contracted them to use Rock Ridge. I would also like to address the fact that they do not abide by the 7
ANC start work tune and they are there on weekends before 7AM working as well_ Why is no one enforcing this? it seems
as€hokigh there 15 a break in cornrnunication between Merdmack's management, staff and vendors that needs to be
addressed. i respectfully request that you look into this ma[ter and start to e11forr-e it
Thank you_
Sincerely,

Hi W. Enright,
can't f 1 M the Board's eruaiI addresses so I (lope you can pass this along. I live a I Napier Rd, Andover ors the corner of
Elm Street abutting the area where the Merrimack deans ifi be located, My bedroom window is On that side,
support the dorm building because it respects the residential character of the neighborhoo.d. The resideritial MIture of
this area fs In danger because it is so close to Rte 114. There are only 3 or ho€uses on rock ridge road that would he
irnpacted so hopefully M err!rrrack can preserve the mature trees and green next to tho,so houses and not build the
daring or activity bu11dirig too close to thCFl3. €E wokiId probably be better if they could focate the new student activity
center on the north andover sick where it wilt not bother any homes.
Anyway,them is a large group of protestors, riot sure who trey all are as l mentioned there are only very few homer on
rock ridge. There k also a blight property on rack ridge so that is worse than having rnetic€flnus dorms near Ors. Just
anted to make sure the planning Board knows there is one direct abutter s€ipporting the durms. They are great

Good. morning,

workers,opened the fence to ket him [in. (Blefore 7) The Campus 111olice Officer just shut the gate ancJ said he WoUlct speak
with the Chief. I do apprec.late that but it's not sollving the problera,
I halve cal[ed Carripus Po[ice numerous fime-.5 over the past couple of nionths only to be told by the &spaitrhier that "stile
doesn't know,anything about it""or '111's,a pubfic roadf" We were told by Merrimack that the triurk,5 WOUld be using
Cguru lipus roads not Rup Ridge at many Plainin,ling, Board meeting gs. 11 was told by a few of the drivers that they were told
by whot-never contracted them to use Rock Ridge. I would atso like to address the fact that they do, riot abide Iby the 7
AM start work time and they are there on weekends before 7AM working as welil. Why is no one enforcing this? It seems
as though there is a break in cornmunication bletween Merrimack's managlernent, staff and vendors that fileeds to be

The pur},�ose of this letter is to advlsc the North Andover Planning Board that Men-smack
College expects that its curi7ent filing with the Planning Board wiII be treated in
compliance with the Dover Aniciidment, as undtl rAooi;l and construed by the various
casts considered end dcci€led by (lie courts of Massachusetts. Unlilcc neigt1horing
Andover's regulatory set-tap, Noah Andover's applicable Planning Roai-d regkdations do
not cun:eFitly provide: a Site Plan Review Process for Dover Uses,
Just to be clear, on behalf of Merdmack College, we insst insist lhm Plarming Boars€
confirm, at or before the time that it opeps its inecting on August 5, 2014, that the
Pl anning Board's )over Use, Si(e flan Review will not he conduoled uncle- any type of
Special Permit process, as any such requirement would clearly violate established
Massachusctts law. S cc Tru<,lecs n1'113o.,Aon College v. Board of Aid crman S 8 Mas%- App.
(1 794 (2003),
There is little doubt that under M w;sai.husctts Iaw that the new Dorm itor Project qua]i lies
f€ r Dover Amendmetat sla€tag, Our research confiniis that from early (in in the interpretation
and application cf the Dover Amcnd me Fit, M s Counts have continuously read and
applied the Dover Amend rn cnt as including the construction and operation or dorm ifory
facilities- Piciniy staled, Massachusctts Courts have COTISiAently rt—Qognizt-d the impoilant
role that dormitory facilities play in the education and development of the Conamonwcalth's
college age students, Our work on this matter also confirnis that this is how the n6ghboring
town t�I-Andover• and the CcJlege have rtitttUally L'IFIC11Cd preVi<xus rni tj(1r dormitory facility
construction on the College campus-
(Y-crieral I y spt aAiPg, G1. c. 4OA, § 3, often referred to as the Dover ArnendmvnI, was
adopted to prevent certain uses the Legislature deernt-d worthy of protection from
discriniiiiating against by FIIUIIieipali tics. See The Dibh, Speaks v. Board of Appeals «A
Lenox, 8 bass. App. Ct. 19, 27 n.10 (197 ; G,L. c. 40A, § 3. Fc mr lional facilities are a
protected iris under G L. c. 40A, § 3, which swtte "Ijoi shall any such Ordinance or b -
law prohi hit, mgulaw or resuic:l the use of lane! or structures for ref igious purposes car for
edui~:ational. purposes on land owned or leased by the eom3uonwealth or any of its
agencies, subdivisions or bodie politic or by a religious sect or donomination, or by a

What constitutes "reasonable regulations" was oni;e the sow-�:e of'tujllroversy for many
year, but has be4ome guile clew- regardzizg educationaI and religious facilities. In
Rogers v. Town of Norfc1k, 432 Mass, 374, 379 ( .000), the court stated that the tesL to
deterynine hether a regulation I , reasonable i S to aA `Whither the . . . restrictiOil fullhers

Arncndg1CF1t (MG1., cAOA, s.3).
`l lip correct analysis regarding Dover Amendment situations can be summarized as follow .
UFidcr the Dover Amendment (lv1GL Chapter 40A, Se4:tI-Rm 3), no iv nicipality in
assach met(s, including Nlorlh Andover, may prohibit, regulate or restrict:
"land or structures for religious purposes ai• for educational purposes on lam owned or
leased by the comm nwcalth or any of its agcncics, subdivisions or bodies politic ear by a
religious scot or dcn on)in ation, oi- by a non pi-o€tt t-dmational corporation", TTowever, the
Town gray impose reasonable regulations governing:
1. Bulk and height of structures
. Yard sizes
3, Lot
4- Setbacks
5. Opeg, space
6. Parking
7. Building coverage
lJadeic the Dover AF11eF1dMCnt, as coFIStTLICd by applicable case law in the Massachusetts
Courts, the l611owing level of I-eview has generally been seed to be requh-ed to he

procedures adopted by the I nspcctov of 13uildin s for "cxcmpt" uses that include

religious, educatitHial, 6iId-carp fkl1iIit!s, and certain nonprofit organizations; more
co3nrnonly known its "Dover lases". The role of the Planning Board and the scope of
the review for these uses are of course limitcd by the express tetras of the Dover
Amcndnien(t The condtict of the meeting and time cliscns5ion is sirnih4r to (hat
followed for regular devclopmcnt proposals.
3. The P1anning Beard in ay not deny a site plan for reIigious, educational and chi Id-care
facilities; however, the Board in its recommendation to thte Ruildfilg lnspector may
include rcasonablc conditions, 4€1er allbi'ding the Applicant a reasonable opportunity
to advise the Plarniing Board of the Applicant's assessment of the reawnablerlpss of
the proposed conditions, The Roard's reeommendation On tN� site plan is fbmarded to
the lnspcctor of Buildings-
hL C'haptcr 40A, S cction 3 dotx ,permit rnttnIc ipali ties to reasornabiy regulate,the "7
areas oI'rev]e ", bul t is g�iite r:Ieai- a this point in titre that the case law regarding the
Dover Amt-n lmeiit demonstrates that it is simply not reasonable, nor is it law€fl, to
subject Dover Uses to a special pe nrnit proccss. The law in i al isachusetts is quite clear
on this issue. The reasonable i-cgWation O'the "7 areas of review` is totally legitimate,
but rn4ni6pallties may riot to do so by imposing a special permit regime onto a Dover
rise.
That this is [lie, case has been long recognized in the ncighboring town of Andover, where
lialf of the college campus tics. As a result ol`the. town o I'Andove3-being suitably advised
by the Liarne town at oniey (Thoinas U belis, who is Town Counsel in both
municipalities), Andover several ycars ago revised its land use recltiiremcnts to rnake i l
clear that Dover uses will be ,uhit-et only to what fGT, Chapter 4OA., S eclioii 3 allows,
end in with applicable law, may not be and is sc bj(-,et to a Special Permit
Process in Andover.
In summary, we rccoinrnend thtit Ori behalf oI'Imemmuk Cot}e e, we 1?�,- authorized to
respectful I suggest that the Town o f North Andover conifer with its Towne Counsel, and
consider the viewpoints raised iii this letter. Naturally, Merrimack CaIlege wishes to
contiru e to he a good "corporate cxti�en", but In terns of what Marimack College must
legally subiect itself to (since Mcrrimack Co liege has a project that clearly enjoys the
statutory protection long existing in 1v OL Chapter 40A, ecdo-Q 3), any atwmpl by North
Andover to assert the applicability of special perniit proecss for Merrimack CO liege's
1- on-riitory Pi-ojeft is abcave and bey und what any projeut being reviewed -under the Dover
niendincnt must do.
I LVorlh Andover is Iookbig fbi- reasonable paral lets, the town of Andover does send rout
"courtesy notices" to all those who would otherwise receive M L Chapter 40A land-krse
perrni€tang no ,co that ntnghborl-1ness and simple duo process (in tcrnrns of"notice and

Considered by many to be overly broad, the exemption granted by the Davey A€nendment has been
nafrowed somewhat by recent court decisions. While a corporatIon must merely be nonprofit and
legally able to engage in educatlonal aativitles to be considered a "nonprofit educational corporation,"
the acLual use or a particular facility must have education as the "Pd ary or diomipant purpase" to
gnalify for Dover protection. See t hitlnsvllle Retirement.Society, Inc. v. Northbridge, 334 Mass, 757,
