The plans are revisions from the set of plans that the.Zoning Board of Appeals approved on November IP in the following ways: 1) We added 30 parking spaces so as to allow the entire building to be used for up to 100% office:to meet future tenant requirements. We are not chanVng the uses that.were approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals on November 121 ,2002, Therefore the number of parking spaces increased from 82 to 114• To accommodate the increased parking,we increased the northern lease lot line by 18 feet: 2) We have been value engineering the building and as a result,we are lowering the height of the building by 3 feet. In addition,we have reduced the number of,dogs in the front foundation wall. All of these changes are in compliance with the zoning bylaws for use, set backs,etc as previously approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals. However,since these changes constitute a change from what was approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals,we need your ruling on how to proceed from this point. Do we need to re-apply to the ZBA or proceed to the Planning Board for Site Plan Review? I await your decision. )=41cete ly, RECEIVED DEC 2002 Z.to._cam A.

John Carney DATE: January 14, 2003 SUBJECT: North Andover Business Center, 500 Sutton Street CC: Richard M. Stanley, Chief of Police I have reviewed the plans and done a site visit to the proposed North Andover Business Center, 500 Sutton Street. We have concerns about the impact the increased volume of traffic may have at the airport entrance. The specific concern is the hazardous condition that exists when exiting.the driveway and turning left onto Sutton Street. As you know, traffic approaching from Rt. 125 is traveling around a curve and up a grade toward this driveway. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Police Department that a traffic impact study be performed to determine if additional site improvements, signs or other measures might improve safety in this area. i 4 ' f ' ,1AN11 ?003 ROaP,n 01.

I have received a memo from Conservation stating that the site is "not an area subject to protection under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act or the local Wetlands Bylaw. I believe the applicant intends to address the other issues at the hearing. 2) Drainage A) The Applicant revised the HydroCAD model at the detention pond but did not include the 12-inch pipe from the detention pond to the control structure as the control. The Applicant changed the plans to show an 18-inch pipe connecting the detention pond to the outlet structure and after a follow-up request, provide capacity calculations to demonstrate that this pipe is no longer a constriction. No further engineering review is required at this time. 3) Provided that the issues in item one are adequately addressed at the hearing, staff recommends closing the public hearing on April 8 and drafting a decision for review on.April 22.
