Re: Site Plan Review/Lawrence Airport Hangers
Dear Ms . Bradshaw,
The North Andover Planning Board held a public hearing on Tuesday
evening, August 20, 1996 at 7 : 30 p.m. in the Senior Center behind
the Town Building, upon the application of Kingsberry Building
Technologies, Inc. , 10 Winship Drive, Wakefield, MA requesting a
special permit under Section 8 . 3 (Site Plan Review) of the North
Andover Zoning Bylaw. The legal notice was properly advertised
in the North Andover Citizen on July 31 and August 7, 1996 and
all parties of interest were duly notified. The following
members were present : Joseph V. Mahoney, Chairman, Alison
Lescarbeau, Clerk, Alberto Angles, Associate Member, Richard
Nardella and John Simons .
The petitioner was requesting a special permit to construct four,
16' 7" 25, 800 sq ft steel aircraft hangars located on Sutton
Street in Zoning District Industrial - 2 (1-2) .
Ms . Lescarbeau read the legal notice to open the public hearing.
Steve Stapinski was representing the applicant and he stated that
the proposed plan calls for four new hangers to be built on the
Sutton Street side of the airport across from the Knights of
Columbus . One hanger will be 4800 sq ft and the other three will
be 7000 sq ft. The intent is to build the structures of the same
quality and style as in the past . The area will be serviced with
water and sewer from Sutton Street . Wall pack lighting will be
mounted on the building and heat and smoke detectors will be
installed. There will be no dumpster present. There will be 15'
between the buildings and the fence for fire trucks in case of an
emergency. Mr. Nardella asked what the height of the structures
will be and was told 17' 8" . The hangers will be made of
insulated steel and no repairs to the aircraft will be done
inside the hangers . Mr. Angles asked if the design provided any

kind of drainage. Mr. Stapinski replied that all drainage is
channeled into the street drainage system. Ms . Colwell stated
that she is waiting for comments from John Chessia and should
have them for the next meeting. Mr. Nardella and Ms . Lescarbeau
would like to see more landscaping done on the Sutton Street side
of the airport. Ms . Colwell stated that the parking requirements
must be reviewed by the building inspector as no parking spaces
are currently shown.
Joe Martin, an abutter who lives across the street, was present
and stated that 2 years ago he came to a public hearing for other
hangers and was told there would be no noise . Mr. Martin stated
there is so much noise that he cannot keep tenants . Also, the
proposed hangers are not really across from the Knights of
Columbus, they are across from his property! Mr. Martin was told
by the applicant that the noise isn' t coming from his hangers,
but from the commercial area and if Mr. Martin would call the
Airport Commission they will put a stop to it . Mr. Martin
further stated that the last time Sutton Street was dug up it was
never repaired properly.
Mr. Mahoney suggested the Board members take a site walk on their
own and the discussion was continued until September 3, 1996.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on
September 3, 1996 . The following members were present : Joseph
V. Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alison
Lescarbeau, Clerk and John Simons .
Continuation of the public hearing.
Ms . Colwell stated that the drainage information was just
submitted on Thursday. A detention pond and planting berm have
been added to the plan. The abutters issue of the noise has been
addressed by the airport, the hold/run-up area for Eagle East
will be moved away from Sutton Street, thereby
eliminating/reducing the noise.
Steve Stapinski was present and stated that the buffering and
planting will be taken care of with a planting berm 6' high.
There will be white pines on the berm, therefore, the effect will
be 12' high trees . Ms . Colwell stated that parking was still an
issue . Mr. Stapinski replied that people use the hangers for
parking once the planes are out of them. He asked the Board if
they want to grant a waiver for a paved area for parking, o
otherwise parking will be in the hangers . Mr. Mahoney pointed
out that he is quite frequently at the airport and there is ample
parking near the tower. The Board agreed that there was
sufficient parking available on the site . Ms . Lescarbeau asked
how many planes will be housed in the hangers and was told 14

planes . Mr. Simons stated that since there are 300 acres at the
airport, why did you have to pick this location for the hangers?
Mr. Stapinski replied that is the only area with services :
water, sewer, available master box for a fire alarm, and the
airport wants to see this area developed. Mr. Rowen asked how
high the hangers are and was told 17 feet. Ms . Lescarbeau wants
to see the planting enhanced for the next meeting.
Continued until September 17, 1996.
The North Andover Planning Board held a regular meeting on
September 17, 1996 . The following members were present : Joseph
V. Mahoney, Chairman, Richard Rowen, Vice Chairman, Alberto
Angles, Associate Member, Richard Nardella and John Simons .
Continuation of the public hearing. Ms . Colwell stated that she
asked Mr. Stapinski to redesign the drainage because as it stands
now, the water will ultimately drain into the lake . Mr.
Stapinski stated that the majority of the site slopes down to the
Merrimack River therefore no drainage will enter the lake. There
is a swale behind Four Star Aviation and Mr. Stapinski stated he
will raise the elevation about one foot. Sewer and water to
remain the same.
On a motion by Mr. Rowen, seconded by Mr. Nardella, the Board
