Laurence J. Rossi, Esq. Re,: ,Application for Site Flan Special Permit Sutton MIL ainliamboase "White House" Date, May 17, 2002 The Petitioner genesis health Vcn(ures seeks approval from the North Andover Planrung B oard to "raze" an existing a two story single-family residence situated on its property located at 1803 Turnpike Street, North Andover, NIA. fn addition to the single two-story structure, the site presently houses (he Sutton Hill Center a 142 heel 85,200 squaw foot nursing retirement center. The construction of the center was approved by flit-Planning Board in 199 8 upon applicalian of the prior owner ADS Management, bic. copy of the Planning Board's Notice of Decisiori is attached hereto. As a condition to the approval by the PIanning Board it i nposed several conditions. Speer rically, the decision states: "the existing house will be utilized as administrative offices for the facility as indicated on the silt-plan belbre us. The-building is a stTuetere ofhistoric interest and shall not be razed." The PeAition now seeks an amendinent of that Order permitting it to raze the existing structure. The existing house in a complete state of disrepair and represents a safety hazard, ltj�,pectors believe the propeify contains asbestos and is a fire,hazard as it remains in a highly friable state. The heating and plumb]ng systems have been totally removed and wood structural members are in question. There is also evidence of bird and rodents living in the building. Any potential use of this structure would require a total gutting of the interior. Moreover, existing structural framing could not support the, use as a commercial application. Estimates for major structural reconstruction total approximately $500,000.00, In contrast to the,Planning Board Statement to 1988, the Petitioner could find no evidence. that the building holds historzc iiaterest. The property is not listed in Lb National register nor on the State Register. In discussion with the,Nordi Andovt-r i Play nhig Board Wage Two May !7, 2002 Historical Society, we have found no evidence that the building is found to have historic interest. While it may Have minimal historic interest, it does not have hisloiical value, The Hi8Eorical Soeie€y has indicated it would he interested only in preservilig a record of the home by the taking of pictures. — Basest on the above, there appears no viable alternative other than to raze the st wture. The Building is hi a complete state of di,,repair and demands iMMediate attention due to the potential safety hazard. Fuitherniore, it appears to be Sao evidence to support that the buiUng is oChistorical interest. Therefore, the Petitioner requests the Board amend its prior order and allow the structure to be raved. f ' S ATTORNEY AT I.AVV 32 CHESTNUT STREET AN DGVE R, MASSAC HU SETTS 01810 M.2CHAEL VV.MORR!& TELEPHONE (978) 475-1304 LAURENCE J.
