Re: Site Plan Review-Zanni Bldg.-Holt Rd. Date: August 4, 1987 I have reviewed the plan submitted for the proposed building and will withhold specific comment related to fire protection at this time. In general, I feel that their plan should not have been distributed for comment. It appears to me that a great many developers take the time and effort to follow the Site Plan Review process and others do not. I feel that this plan does not supply the specific information requested in the by-law and that by accepting it for comment the town does an injustice to its own system and to those developers who apply time, effort and money in a plan submission. Due to a commitment, I cannot be at your August 17 meeting but will be sending Lt. Andrew Melnikas, the Fire Prevention Officer, to express the department' s veiws on this matter. I would hope that the Board would address the issue of the accept- ability of the plan and then provide us with your decision on that matter so that specific fire protection input can be given. As always, the fire department has been willing to meet to discuss fire protection with any developer regarding their projects. William V.

As a result of that meeting I am submitting the following comments : 1. The entire building must be equipped with a fire suppression system in accordance with MGL Chapter 148 Sec. 26G. 2. A fire detection and alarm system must be installed. 3. Plans for both the detection and suppression systems shall be submitted to the Fire Chief prior to installation for approval. 4 . An additional fire hydrant is to be installed at the southeastern corner of the building in the area marked "gravel" between the two parking areas. 5. No open burning is allowed except as permitted by the North Andover Fire Department regulations during open burning season. 6. Any underground fuel storage must comply with North Andover Fire Department regulations. In discussion with the owner there are no present tenants for the building and it is not certain as to how the building will be subdivided. Aside from the minimun required fire protection, I am requesting that the following statement be included in your order of condi- tions; "Prior to occupancy by any tenant, the tenant and the building owner shall notify and meet with the Fire Chief to provide for any additional fire protection improvements needed for their intended use prior to taking occupancy" .

Dear Paul: 1 have reviewed the plan and would make the following comments: 1. All drainage to comply with the Board of Health rules pertaining to Septic systems relative to site drainage and town drainage. No per- mission will be given by this Department until the Board of Health confirms approval on design. Written permission must be obtained by this Department prior to starting any work. 2. All site drainage should be independent from the building and no floor or interior drains should be connected to system. 3. The drainage design of Holt Rd. drainage has an existing catch basin located as shown on plan. This basin should handle site drainage and no problems should arise as long as the grades are not altered to divert drainage flows from what they are presently. 4. 1 would recommend a detention and sediment ponding area be constructed at drainage discharge point. 5. Two additional drain catch basins should be added towards the rear of the building. 6. All catch basins to be standard 81, precast concrete units with four foot radius and thirty in sumps. 7. Driveway Entry Permits will be required by this Department. Yours truly, William A.

(1.80 'x1501 ) Number of Stories: . 1 story (261 ) j TOWN DEPARTMENT COMMENTS Fire : Fire hydrants to be installed at the Southeast corner of the building in the area marked "gravel" . Fire protection concerns for the building -- Letter from Bill. Dolan dated September 9th. Police: Health: May have problems with septic system design if a swale is constructed along Holt Road. Satisfactory percolation and ground water tests have been obtained. Public Works : Other Town Boards/Commissions Conservation Commission: No wetlands in this area. DISCUSSION Staff has met with the applciant together with his engineer and architect on September llth. Items of concern discussed included the following: 1 . The site plan as presented (prepared: July 24 , 1987) is not adequate. It lacks sufficient detail and quality to provide adequate staff and Planning Board review. 2 . 1 questioned the adequacy of the drainage system as shown. I resubmitted the plan to the Department of Public Works requesting varification that the system will work as designed. (Memo dated: September 11 , 1987 , to Paul Niman) 3 . Major problems with traffic circulation and emergency access within the site. The lot contains a building which is too large to provide adequate access to the proposed docks and parking areas. A concern also exists for emergency vehicle access to the structure if trucks and cars are parked in the areas shown on the plan. NOTE: The concerns listed above were sufficient to require the applicant to be removed from the Planning Boards Adgenda of September 14th. In addition, the applciant was notified by a letter from Karen Nelson, dated August 18 , 1987 , requesting plans a week prior to the September 14th meeting. This was not done. In addition to the above concerns, I have the following issues which need to be addressed: 1 . Please show the location and type of entrances to be provided to the structure . 2 . I have no problem with supplying gravel in certain locations to help with drainage and maintenance costs . I do need some indication that the gravel will remain in place and that the parking areas are delineated from the access drive around the building. I suggest curbing or some method to protect vehicles and hold the gravel in place. 3 . Please show the location of all fire hydrants on the site. 4 . Question of ability of plants to survive once planted in the retention area as shown. 5 . May have a leaching problem with the location of the septic system, if a swale needs to be placed along the right-of-way of Holt Road. 6 . Drainage pipe being laid under a building slab could prove to be difficult to maintain. 7 . Proof from the applicant that this is a legal lot of record. The plan was not done on a survey plan. 8 . Please indicate the size of your sign shown on the plan. 9 . Please show the existing right-of-way of Holt Road along with the distances of location of any curb cuts on either side of Holt Road. In summary the applicant is attempting to provide a large structure (31% lot coverage) in addition to supplying loading spaces and parking in excess of the Town' s requirements. I suggest either reducing the size of structure , or eliminate some of the parking and loading areas. I understand that the applicant is reluctant to do so, since this building will likely become both office and warehouse space which requires more parking space, while still providing loading areas . Since our regulations do not deal with buildings of this type very well, I suggest the Board examine closely the practicle aspects of the site plan' s design regarding moveability of both the parking, loading areas and access drive.
