Re: Northeast Storage Corp.
Special Permit Application
Coler & Colantonio Review
Dear Mr. Scott:
The following is a point by point response to the review by Cofer & Colantonio of the
Special Permit Application submitted by Northeast Storage,
Zoning Bylaw
1. Parking for the use proposed is not included in the off-street parking
requirements of the bylaw.
Site Plan Review
2. The lease line, with meets and bounds, is shown on the plan.
3. The site is in an 1-2 zone not the R-4 zone suggested by C&C. Drainage easements are
not needed because the property is under a single ownership.
4. The site is in an 1-2 district not an R-4 district as incorrectly stated by your consultant.
s. Refer to our Aprils, 1999 letter to the Conservation Commission,
6. See our responses to the NOI comments.
7. Trees over 12" in diameter were not noted on the plan. In over 20 years of working in
North Andover I don't think I have ever been required to locate all trees over 12" in
diameter.
8. A dumpster was shown on the plan.
9. See our responses to the NOI comments.
10. A traffic impact study was included with the application.
11. The fiscal impact of the project was discussed in the submittal.
12. No comment necessary.
13. Please see NOI comments.
14. Rip-rap was added to the plans.
15. It is incredible that the reviewer wasn't "clear " on whether or not the project
complies with Section8.3)6.)ii.)h. We are proposing a self-storage project next to an
airport and a busy street. How can it not be clear that this project will not create excessive
noise, dust or vibrations that exceed those from the present permitted uses?
16. The comment is ambiguous. The proposal either meets or does not meet the
requirements of Section 8.4)4. If we comply we needn't spend time discussing it. If we
don't comply tell us and we will correct it.
Very t ly yours
