The Board accepts the applicant's offer to landscape the median and both sides of the access road,in accordance with Planning Board requirements. Voting in favor: Walter F. Soule,Robert P. Ford,Ellen P. McIntyre,and George M.Earley.

Pagel of 2 Furthermore,if the rights authorized by the Variance are not exercised within one(1).year of the date of the grant,it shall lapse,and may be re-established only after notice, and a new hearing, Furthermore,if a Special Permit granted under the pr ovi§ions contained herein shall be deemed to have lapsed after a two(2)year period from the date on which the Special Permit was granted unless siabstantial;iise or construction has commenced,it shall lapse and may be re-established only after notice,and a new hearing. ' Town of North Andover Board of Appeals,, Walter F. Soule,Vice Chairman Decision 2003-002 Page 2 of 2 E . I i 10.31.1 Conditions for Approval of Special Permit a. The specific site is an appropriate location for such a use. This site is located along the Airport Entrance Drive at Sutton Street. The proposed use is allowed and intended in the 1-2 Zoning District, and is also allowed in the Watershed Overlay District.. This site is unique and special in that it serves as the transition area between the airport function and the Town businesses—The North Andover Business Center is specifically designed to provide a range of commercial establishments which would service a variety of needs. The existing site is well-suited for the use in terms of flat topography, availability of municipal utilities, good soil conditions, and siting along the existing Airport Entrance boulevard. b. The use as developed will not adversely affect the neighborhood. The 1-2 District potentially allows an extensive heavy industrial use, which could potentially include heavy trucking, manufacturing, large imposing unattractive buildings, and masses of pavement. However, this proposed project is much different from that, and is instead a smaller-scale and less-intrusive proposal consisting of a mixture of commercial, office, and small-scale warehouse supporting use. The proposed site will be properly and responsibly developed. The proposed building architecture includes appropriate use of materials, including attractive storefront treatments, and a gently curved roof overhang which will bring the overall massing into proper prospective. The loading areas are all placed to the rear of the building, and the front parking area is only one space deep and Tanked by landscaping. C. There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians. The site drives are responsibly planned off the Airport Entrance Drive, which is an existing boulevard. The boulevard will be modified to accommodate the site entrance drives, including extension of the center grass strip to protect existing abutting parking areas at the airport. Two-way circulation completely around the site will enable efficient traffic flow, enhanced emergency access, and eliminate dead-end parking. Additional space is provided for loading areas to the rear, which are separated from the customer parking areas to the front of the site. The site includes full sidewalks around the building and parking areas. d. Adequate/Appropriate facilities are provided for the proper operation of the proposed use. Refer to the Site Plan, including notes, which identify the required facilities, including parking, loading, utilities, etc. Stormwater facilities will include complete roof water recharge and detention basin in accordance with the Bylaws. e. The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this Bylaw. The proposed use meets the purpose and intent of the Bylaw, and will blend well with the surrounding uses. The proposed site and building plans meet the ( development criteria, and the zoning would allow for a much more intensive industrial use than that is proposed. In summary, the proposed project is appropriately planned and will be a needed and attractive addition to the Town of North Andover community. 2. Additional optional conditions and safeguards proposed to protect the neighborhood: a. Requirements of front, side, or rear yards greater than, the minimum required by this Bylaw. Required setbacks are met--- refer to the Site Plan and Notes. b. Requirements of screening parking areas or other parts of the premises from adjoining premises or from the street, by walls, fences, planting, or other devices; Required screening areas are met--- refer to Site Plan and Notes summarizing these requirements. C. Modification of the exterior features or appearances of the structure; Refer to the architectural plans and elevations—the proposed design is appropriate and includes additional expense in material upgrades, roof line curvature, "storefront" elements, building wall jogs, etc. d. Limitation of size, number of occupants, method or time of operation, or extent of facilities; Refer to Site Plan Notes for these specific limitations as required by the Bylaws. C. Regulation of number, design and location of access drives or other traffic features; Only two drives are proposed onto the existing boulevard at opposite ends of the site—these are specifically designed for safe and efficient traffic circulation. All aisle areas are two-way. Customer parking is located in the front and away from any rear loading activities. No curbcuts are proposed onto Town Rights of Ways. The drives and related traffic features have been carefully planned to provide efficient operation and also yield an attractive site.

We exceed the parking requirement by 11 spaces in the zoning bylaw for the highest parking density i.e. Business Office which would require log spaces based on a building size of 30,80o sq ft and i00% office. 2) Reduce building size from 31,700 to 30,800 sq ft by value engineering the building and reducing the number of jogs in the front foundation wall and reducing the height to 21'6". The proposed uses have not changed and still comply with paraa h 4.vm of the Town of North Andover. We are applying for Mixed Use under paragraph 4.133 of the Town of North.Andover Zoning Bylaw consisting of the following uses: • Research and Development; • Business — Professional and other Offices; • Retail and food uses if accessory to the principal use and are primarily intended to service the principal use with no more than io% of the GFA of the principal use may be devoted to accessory use; • Non-Profit School or Private School for Profit; • Art Gallery; Printing and reproduction; • Light Manufacturing;Warehousing and wholesaling; • Parking, indoor storage and other accessory uses customarily associated with the above uses, provided that such use shall not be injurious, noxious, or offensive to the neighborhood.

See the attached letter from Lawrence Municipal Airport Manager authorizing a cross easement for snow dumping on the outside of the north lot line as part of our snow removal plan.
