CARROLL(MA) May 15, 1990 George Perna North Andover Planning Board Chairman Town Hall Main Street North Andover, MA 01845 Re: Entension of Site Plan Review on property located at the corner of Route 125 Bypass and Hillside Road, North Andover. Dear Mr. Perna: This office represents George and Sandra Schussel, the current owners of the above referenced property. On April 18, 1988 the North Andover Planning Board approved a site plan review submitted by the Schussels for development of this property. Over the past several months the Schussels have made inquiries to the Planning Board regarding an extension and were informed that the site plan review did not expire until the end of May of this year. Unfortunately, due to apparent miscommunication, the site plan review expired on April 18, 1990. Due to the depressed state of the economy in Massachusetts, and more specifically, the real estate market in the Merrimac Valley over the past two years, the Schussels have been unable to develope the property in accordance with their original expectations. At the present time the property is being offerred for sale and it is of vital importance that the current site plan review remain effective. Without an approved site plan review, the value of the property will be significantly reduced, as will the possibilities of securing an interested buyer. I i For the above stated reasons we respectfully request the North Andover Planning Board to consider reinstating and extending the site plan review for this property. Additionally, we believe that the sale and development of this property in accordance with the approved site plan review will provide substantial benefits to the Town of North Andover. If you have any questions or if you require additional information in connection with this request please do not hesitate to contact this office. Thank you for your consideration.

CARROLL(MA) May 16, 1990 Chris Huntress North Andover Planning Board Town Hall Main Street North Andover, MA 01845 RE: Extension of site plan review for property located at the corner of Route 125 Bypass and Hillside Road, North Andover Dear Chris: I want to take this opportunity to apologize for any confusion which may have resulted from my correspondence of May 15, 1990. I did not mean to insinuate that the reason for the tardiness of our request for extension was due to the Planning Board providing the Schussels with inaccurate information. Rather, the statement at issue was included to inform the Board that the Schussels did not intentionally allow the expiration date to pass. Again, I want to emphasize that the Schussels are not taking the position that the Planning Board or any one associated with the Board, is responsible for the delay in our request for extension. I sincerely hope that this letter clarifies our position and alleviates any concerns you may have had concerning our letter of May 15.
