RE: Northeast Storage Facility

Dear Mr. Christensen;
This letter is in reference to the above project an its zoning compliance with the Town of
North Andover Zoning By-Law. In accordance with the Zoning By-Law the use Self
Storage is not listed as an allowable use in the 12 zoning district. However the use is
similar in character to warehousing. Therefore in accordance with section 4.1.1.1 a
special permit shall be required for all uses which are similar in character. Please refer to
section 10.3 of the Zoning By-law as to the criteria for the special permit,
Further the application for Site Plan review shows a use which is NOT antKaccessory use
to the airport, While we have allowed the use of airport property generally as a means to
accomplish lot areas those uses, such as hangers, have been accessory to the principal
use. Therefore you are required to prove that sufficient lot' .area exists for the proposed
use and that such lot$ area affords the required setbacks as if the use was on a separate
lot. At this time your plan shows non-compliance with setbacks and lot area. To indicate
setbacks and lot area in a leased land situation you must indicate a lease line. The line
must meet the setbacks on both sides, interior and exterior of the leased area, The
applicant must supply a lease indicating that they hold rights to the property.
Therefore you are required a Special Permit for Site Plan with the Planning Board, a
Special hermit for the use with the Zoning Board (see SPGA term definition) and
resolution of the lot area and setbacks.
If you have any question please contact me directly.
Sincerely,
Robert D. Nicetta

compatibility with existing local and regional plans. N/A
Screening & Landscaping
1. It would appear more landscaping could be provided around the residential abutters (Albert).
Also I would recommend that a 8' stockade fence be placed around the abutting property for
additional screening.
Section 8.4.1 requires "trees or shrubs, at least four feet high at the time of planting....." The
screening proposed along the frontage of Sutton Street, per sheet 3 of the plan, provides 2-3' hews,
rhododendrons and aborvitae. The screening needs to be replaced with 4-foot high plantings to
meet Section 8.4.1 of the ZBL. A condition of the landscaping should be that the owner would be
responsible for the maintenance of the plantings.

Bylaw or a waiver needs to be requested—specifically, I am referring to the 2-3' hews,
rhododendrons and arborvitae on the plans which are not in conformance with Section 8.4.1 which
requires"trees or shrubs, at least four feet high at the time of 14anting,..".
4. An architectural rendering of the proposed buildings along with proposed building elevation;

DATE: September 15, 1999
The applicant has presented an alternative site plan which depicts the proposed storage
facilities sideways towards,Sutton Street instead of directly facing Sutton Street.
In addition, they have also presented "viewpoints" of the buildings if they were to face
Sutton Street, all of which I am including for your review.
It appears to me that the alternative site plan which has been presented is more what the
Planning Board has been looking for, and it it were incorporated with the previously
presented plans (with the landscaping, etc.) it is a significant improvement.

Dear Ms. Griffin:
Concerning the above captioned matter, the Applicant was granted a Site Plan Special Permit
for a proposed storage facility located at 492 Sutton Street (Lawrence Airport property), North
Andover, Massachusetts. The Decision of the Planning Board was recorded with the Town Clerk's
office on October 25, 1999 (see copy attached).
Contemporaneous with the Applicant obtaining all necessary town permits, my client pursued
obtaining an executed lease for the property from the Lawrence Municipal Airport Commission. The
City of Lawrence and the Federal Aeronautics Administration took several years to approve and
issue the lease, which my client received in 2001.
In the interim period, the Applicant lost its bank funding for the project due to the excessive
delay in obtaining the lease. The Applicant has had to pursue new funding sources and is now
prepared to proceed with this project in its original permitted condition.
Accordingly, request is hereby made on behalf of the Applicant for an extension of the Site
Plan Special Permit in order that the project may proceed without the necessity of re-filing the
application and re-hearing the same facts.
Thanking you in advance for your assistance, I remain

Dear Mr. Willett,
Attached is a modification for the sewer reconstruction at the Northeast Storage
site on Sutton Street. The plan is a culmination of discussions among your office Channel
Building and this office.
The modification is being submitted because of the objections raised by your
office to the approved plan. The attached plan shows a new sewer parallel to the existing
sewer, thus maximizing the possible slope. We are proposing that prior to construction of
the new sewer elevations be taken at the beginr►ing 4nd end of the new sewer and a slope
calculated. The proposed sewer pipe will be Schedule 80, which is a heavier walled pipe
than is Schedule 40. Wall thickness,of 8"Schedule 80 is 0.500, while the thickness of
8"Schedule 40 is 0.322,
If you have any questions please call me.

Re, Northeast Storage May 15, 2003
Dear Mr. Woods:
Channel Building Company is the general contractor for the developer, Northeast
Storage on Sutton Street adjacent to the Lawrence Airport. it has come to my attention
that there is concern that the landscaping is not yet complete.
This project commenced construction in the fall of 2002. The east side of the project
was constructed first then followed to the west side. Paving was installed on the east
side at the end of October,and the 2 storage buildings were constructed. It was our
Intent to landscape the east side last November. We were not able to accomplish it in
early November because the site was too wet and saturated due to rain almost every
other day. We hoped that sooner or later it would dry up. In fact, on November 14, 1
spoke with Kathleen McKenna, the previous planner, regarding substituting the Cypress
plants for arborvitae because cypress was not available at that time. This was
memorialized In a memo to her summarizing our discussion. Our plan was to install the
plants upon approval, which was granted.
The planting was actually scheduled for the week of November 25, Thanksgiving week,
however due to rains on November 22, the site was too wet. We received 7"of snow the
day after Thanksgiving, 2 snow storms on Dec 1 to the 5th,and sub teen nights during
that time frame, freezing the ground solid, it was not possible.
Construction continued on the 2 -story building throughout the difficult winter,and all
swales, erosion control,etc was maintained, and remained functional.
s
Only the week before last was the ground dry enough to re-shape on the east side. This
was completed last week. The landscaper was originally scheduled to begin the
landscaping on the east side this week. However,the rains have thwarted that effort.
Thomkins Landscaping Is scheduled to start on Monday, May 19, 2003. Fine raking and
plantings will commence, according to the approved landscaping plan on the east side.
Final paving of the east side, and base course paving on the west side is also scheduled
for next week. Upon completion of the top coat adjacent to the buildings (Week of 5-
19), the fence and gates perpendicular to Sutton Street will be Installed.

CI-IA14NEL 13UILDING CO,
Construction of the final building is scheduled to begin the week of May 27.
Only after it is completed, approximately 5 weeks,will the remainder of the top coat of
pavement and landscaping on the west side be completed.
Please understand that the foundation permits for this project were pulled in late
September 2002,with final building permits pulled In October, 2002. We have been on
site just only about 6 months or so. Channel Building Company has diligently prosecuted
the work of the project,and is scheduled to complete it soon. This project includes 4
buildings totaling roughly 60,000 SF. Channel Building Company has made every effort
to complete this project expediently, however,the late fall and winter especially,was not
conducive to as smooth a construction process, as we all would prefer.
I hope this letter clarifies why the landscaping Is not completed on this project. Channel

RE: Northeast Storage
DATE: July 3,2003
1 inspected the site last Tuesday with representatives of the Channel Building Company and Attorney Dom
Scalise. At that time I wrote in site visit log that the trees were planted in accordance with the approved
plans in the approved locations. There were two erosion areas where I asked that they place stone and one
berm on the west side of the site that needed to be fixed, as it was washed out by the heavy rains. After
receiving your email, I reviewed the plans again and questioned whether or not the trees planted were in
accordance with the sizes requited by the approved plans. I had a meeting with Attorney Scalise this
afternoon on another matter, after which we went back out to the Northeast Storage site.
Condition 4c of the site plan special permit states that The landscaping must he planted as shown on Sheet
three of the approved and endorsed plans. Sheet 3 depicts Oft Cypress and White Pines along the front of
the buildings on the north side of the drainage swale. It also shows two 4-6ft Norway Maples and one 8-
1 Oft White Pine. At 3:30 this afternoon, Attorney Scalise and I measured the trees and they all met the
minimum heights specified on Sheet 3 of the approved plans. Additionally,the grass is taking well and the
site has stabilized. This decision does not have a condition that some others have granting the Planner
authority to require additional screening. I did suggest to Attorney Scalise that his client add some
addition tens along the south e-nM"raiages -ale a ong oth the three links of fenc on the
east side and_.the four links of fencing on the west side ither side of the entrance. This is the area that
seem most in need of additional screening. Heidi suggested mentioning to eLn�at you granted them an
extension of the special permit.

Hi Dom,
The Board indictated aL its nneeting last eight that it would like your client to either plant some additional
screening on the south side of the drainage ditches in areas where the screening is very bare or to reconfigure
sonic of the original plantings to provide better screening.
I would suggest adding some additional evergreens along the south side of the drainage s%vale along the three
sections of fencing on the east side and the four sections of fencing on the west side of the entrance, This is the
area that secins riiost in aced of additional screening. I propose that we,coordinate this planting schetlie with the
NAPD and NAFD to ensure that we maintain adequate visibility for safety reasons while addressing the Planning
Board's concerns, For this reason,I am copying Lt, Carney and Lt, Melnikas on this email.
Kindly let nee know if your client is agreeable to this proposal.

Dear Mr. Scalise:
By way of this letter I wish to confirm that in my conversations with the public safety
officials of the Town of North Andover, for reasons of safety and security, it is
recommended that the entrance area to the Northeast Storage facility on Sutton Street
remain free of vegetation in order to allow for good visibility to observe activity at that
location. Should you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Several meetings ago John Simons asked that the filing for Northeast Storage be reviewed to determine if the required
plantings are still in existence and, if not, did the Decision require replacement in perpetuity. Would you please review
the file and be prepared to discuss your findings with Monica when she returns. Thank you
