RE: Comprehensive Permit Application for Meetinghouse Commons at Smolak Farm
Dear Zoning Board of Appeals:
This letter is to summarize the status of Meetinghouse Commons LLC responses to comments and inquiries
regarding the Comprehensive Permit Application and subsequent revisions to the proposal for Meetinghouse
Commons at Smolak Farm.
As you know,we are in the eighth month since the submission of the initial Application. We had productive
hearings in October and November, continuances in December, January, and February, and another productive
hearing in March. During this time, we also presented courtesy informative sessions for the Board of Selectmen
and Planning Board. Throughout this period, Meetinghouse Commons LLC has been available to discuss and
revise the proposal upon request, and we have done so on numerous occasions in response to the variety of
inquiries from Town Boards, Committees, Departments, as well as residents and abutters. On every occasion,we
have tried to accommodate local concerns and requests, and as far as we know, we have satisfied every reasonable
request or concern presented. Meetinghouse Commons LLC believes that there has been more than ample time
and notification given to all Town authorities to express concerns, and that any reasonable concerns should
already have been identified. We also believe that all reasonable concerns have been addressed and that,
therefore, the hearings should be closed at the next meeting on April 9, 2002.
Also, over the last few months the development team for Meetinghouse Commons has made all reasonable
attempts to respond to and satisfy the reasonable issues and concenns identified by the three different outside
consulting firms hired by the Town of North Andover, at the expense of Meetinghouse Commons LLC (one by the
Zoning Board, two by the Conservation Commission). These reviews have been redundant in certain areas,
beyond the scope required for a Comprehensive Permit application(Ch.40b), and some review comments have
clearly been subjective and arbitrary(as mentioned at tine March 12 hearing). VHB, the outside consultant for
the Zoning Board, has been unresponsive to both the Board's requests as well as the requests made by
Meetinghouse Commons LLC representatives to provide timely response throughout this review, creating extreme
hardships for the Meetinghouse Commons project team to satisfy the Board's scheduling requests. Regardless,
we have responded to these consultants quickly and completely, and believe that all reasonable concerns have been
sufficiently addressed vnd that, therefore, the hearings should be closed at the next meeting on April 9, 2002.
Intl APR 3 200?
BOAR®OF APPEALS
The North Andover Conservation Commission recently issued an Order of Conditions approving the project as
proposed (a copy with transmittal cover is in the Zoning Board file); therefore, all drainage and environmental
7 regulations and concerns have been complied with and addressed. Furthermore, the Conservation Commission
has issued correspondence to the Zoning Board at least twice during the hearing period, and also appeared before
the Zoning Board to express support for the proposal, and for the record has complimented the proposal and
applicant for voluntarily going well beyond all requirements regarding environmental and drainage regulations and
practices.
The Fire Department has issued at least two comment letters during the hearing period, both indicating that all
their concerns have been met and indicating support for this proposal. Also, the Fire Chief has appeared before
the Zoning Board to confirm the correspondence and indicate support for this proposal.
Two recent transmittals from the Division of Public Works (dated 3/20/02 and 3/22/02) are hereby
acknowledged, and all items included in those transmittals are agreeable and can be made part of a conditional
approval and where appropriate, final plans will be revised to reflect those items.
All comments from the Planning Board, Police Department, and Board of Selectmen have also been addressed
with correspondence in your file dating as far back as October, 2001. There have been no new issues indicated
from these Town authorities since our responses and revisions per their requests. The Trails Committee has
requested connections and access to adjacent conservation lands, which we have also agreed to provide and mark
in the field as requested; these items have been noted on the plans and can also be additionally noted as part of a
conditional approval.
We have sincerely worked with and accommodated or responded to every issue presented to us, from all Town
authorities, consultants, residents, and abutters, in many instances far in excess of any obligation to do so, in the
spirit of cooperation and community goodwill. We believe that the project known as Meetinghouse Commons at
Smolak Farm, as applied for and revised through this process, has received tremendous scrutiny, consideration
and improvement, and is an exemplary proposal for which the hearings should be closed at the next meeting on
April 9, 2002, and a positive decision issued within the statutory time frame.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely
Thomas D. Zahoruiko, Manager

DEP FILE #242 - 1114
The Applicant (Meetinghouse Commons, LLC) filed a Notice of Intent (NOI) in
accordance with the provisions of the MA Wetlands Protection Act (MGL c.131
s.40) (the "Act") and its associated regulations (310 CMR 10,00). The Applicant has
also filed for a Comprehensive Permit under G.L. c.4013 and, pursuant to the
procedures prescribed by 760 CMR 30.00 and 31.00, has requested waivers of
several local laws from the Zoning Board of Appeals, including a waiver of the
provisions of the North Andover Wetland Protection ByLaw (the `ByLaw").
As described in the project narrative provided with the NOI application, the project
has nonetheless been designed to meet the performance standards under the Act
and the ByLaw. Direct alterations to wetland resources are limited to the impacts
necessary to construct access roadways and a small footbridge designed to allow
passage between the proposed affordable housing units and the common area, or
"meetinghouse" as it is referred to on the site plans referenced herein. Each of these
wetland crossings have been proposed as "limited projects" under the Act (see 310
CMR 10.53(3)(e)) and, as such, are allowable provided: 1) there are no practicable
alternatives to accessing available upland; 2) impacts to wetlands are minimized to
the extent feasible; and, 3) impacts are mitigated to the best extent practicable. It is
the opinion of the NACC, that the applicant has met these requisites, given that the
majority of developable upland area cannot be accessed without crossing wetlands;
the proposed design utilizes existing woods roads and crossings; and total bordering
vegetated wetland impacts are limited to 4,564 s.f., which is below the threshold of
discretionary impacts. Replication has been provided at a 2:1 ratio, which exceeds
the requirements under the state regulations (1:1 ratio). In addition, the project
meets standards for erosion and sedimentation control and has been designed in
accordance with the DEP Stormwater Management Policy.
E
Finally, while the NOI was filed solely under the Act, proposed work nevertheless
adheres to a 25-foot No-Disturbance Zone and 50-foot No-Construction Zone from
the edge of jurisdictional wetland resource areas and a 50-foot No-Disturbance
Zone and 75-foot No-Construction Zone from the edge of two non-certified vernal
pools, as defined by the policies of the North Andover Conservation Commission
through their ByLaw and regulations.
Therefore, the North Andover Conservation Commission (hereafter the "NACC")
hereby finds that the following conditions are necessary, in accordance with the
Performance Standards set forth in the Act to protect those interests noted above.
The NACC orders that all work shall be performed in accordance with said
conditions and with the Notice of Intent referenced below. To the extent that the
following conditions modify or differ from the plans, specifications or other
proposals submitted with the Notice of Intent, the conditions shall control.

and other regulatory measures, shall be deemed cause to revoke or modify this
Order.
19.This Order does not grant any property rights or any exclusive privileges; it does
not authorize any injury to private property or invasion of property rights.
However, the NACC, agent of the NACC or the Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) reserves the right to enter and inspect the property at all
reasonable times until a Certificate of Compliance is issued, to evaluate
compliance with this Order of Conditions and the Act and may require any
information, measurements, photographs, observations, and/or materials, or may
require the submittal of any data or information deemed necessary by the NACC
for that evaluation. Further, work shall be halted on the site if the NACC, agent
or DEP determines that any of the work is not in compliance with this Order of
Conditions. Work shall not resume until the NACC is satisfied that the work will
comply and has so notified the applicant in writing.
20.This Order does not relieve the permittee or any other person of the necessity of
complying with all other applicable federal, state or local statutes.
21 .The work authorized hereunder shall be completed within three years from the
date of this order.
22.This Order may be extended by the issuing authority for one or more periods of

a determination and to issue a Superseding Order of Conditions, the
Conservation Commission shall be a party to all agency proceedings and
hearings before the Department.
25.The conditions of this decision shall apply to, and be binding upon, the
applicant, owner, its employees and all successors and assigns in interest or
control. These obligations shall be expressed in covenants in all deeds to
succeeding owners of portions of the property.

DEP FILE #242 - 1114
26.The term "Applicant" as used in this Order of Conditions shall refer to the
owner, any successor in interest or successor in control of the property
referenced in the Notice of Intent, supporting documents and this Order of
Conditions. The NACC shall be notified in writing within 30 days of all transfers
of title of any portion of property that takes place prior to the issuance of a
Certificate of Compliance.
27.The proposed work includes: construction of an affordable housing development
incorporating approximately 46 single family dwellings (of which 23 dwellings
are in the 100-foot Buffer Zone), 2 townhouse style condominiums, associated
parking areas, stormwater management system, footbridge, utilities (sewer w/ a
single pump station, water, electric and gas) and access roadways within the
100-foot Buffet'Zone of delineated Bordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVWs).
Approximately 4,564 square feet of wetland fill associated with the construction
of two limited project access roadways (see 310 CMR 10.53(3)(e)) is proposed
within BVWs situated along the western portion of the site. Wetland
replication at a 2:1 ratio is provided for (approximately 10,521 s.f.).
28.The work shall conform to the following (except as noted in the remainder of
this document where revisions may be required):
Notice of Intent filed by: Epsilon Associates, Inc.
Dated 12-28-01
Site Plans prepared by: MHF Design Consultants, Inc.
Entitled "Meetinghouse Commons at Smolak Farm"
Sheets 1 —45
Dated REV 2-14-02
29.The following resource areas are affected by the proposed work: Bordering
Vegetated Wetlands. These resource areas are significant to the interests of the
Actas noted above and therein. The applicant has not attempted to overcome
the presumption of significance of these resource areas to the identified interests.
30.The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource areas
on the site as shown on the plans dated referenced herein (see Positive
Determination of Applicability dated 3-8-01).
31.The NACC finds that the intensive use of the upland areas and buffer zone
proposed on this site will cause further alteration of the wetland resource areas.
In order to prevent any alteration of wetland resource areas the Applicant has
agreed to voluntarily maintain a twenty five foot (25') No-Disturbance Zone
and a fifty foot (509 No-Construction Zone from the edge of delineated BVWs
(in accordance with the ByLaw) except as follows: construction of access
roadways and infrastructure, wetland replication areas, "auxiliary vernal pool
area" (final location to be determined, as may be necessary), micro-habitat

enhancement areas (see Seekamp Environmental letter report dated 1-15-02)
and one (1) boardwalk/footbridge crossing. The Applicant has not proposed
activities within the 50-foot No-Disturbance Zone and/or 75-foot No-
Construction Zone associated with two (2) identified but non-certified vernal
pools.
32.This document shall be included in all construction contracts, subcontracts, and
specifications dealing with the work proposed and shall supersede any
conflicting contract requirements. The applicant shall assure that all contractors,
subcontractors, and other personnel performing the permitting work are fully
aware of the permits terms and conditions. Thereafter, the contractor will be
held jointly liable for any violation of this Order resulting from failure to comply
with its conditions.
33.The owners of the project and their successors in title, in the event they proceed
to alter areas subject to the Commission's jurisdiction under the order, agree that
the Order does not in itself impose upon the Town any responsibility to
maintain the proposed drainage system and that said Town shall not be liable for
any damage in the event of failure. By acceptance of this Order, the owners
agree to indemnify and hold harmless to the Town and its residents for any
damage attributable to alterations undertaken on this property pursuant to the
Order. Issuance of these Conditions does not in any way imply or certify that
the site or downstream areas will not be subject to flooding, storm damage or
any other form of water damage. Maintenance of the drainage system, if
accepted by the Town as part of a public way, becomes the responsibility of the
Town.
34.Issuance of these Conditions does not in any way imply or certify that the site or
downstream areas will not be subject to flooding, storm damage or any other
form of water damage.
Pre-Construction Conditions
35. No work shall be undertaken until all administrative appeal periods from this
Order have elapsed or, if such an appeal has been filed, until all proceedings
before the Department or Court have been completed.
36.This Order shall be recorded by the applicant at the Registry of Deeds
immediately after the expiration of all appeal periods. No work shall be
undertaken until the Final Order has been recorded in the Registry of Deeds or
the Land Court for the district in which the land is located, within the chain of
