T0758 Re: Peer Review#1 Site Plan Review 701 Salem Street, North Andover, MA Dear Ms. Gregoire: On behalf of the Town of North Andover, TEC, Inc. conducted a technical review of the April 4, 2019 Site Plans for the proposed project to be located at 701 Salem Street. Virginia Inc. ("Applicant") submitted the following documents, which TEC reviewed for conformance with the Town of the North Andover Zoning Bylaws and generally accepted industry standards: • Site Plan Set, 701 Salem Street, North Andover, MA, prepared by Civil Design Group, LLC. dated April 4, 2019; Under review of the document and plans, TEC has compiled the following comments for the Board's consideration: 1. It is noted that the applicant is to apply for a special permit waiving the minimum parking space requirement, as the proposed number does not meet the required. i 2, Section 8.5,C(3)—The Applicant should provide a driveway connection to Abbott Street with a 15-foot radius (minimum). 3. Section 8.5.C(3)—The Applicant should adjust the 35.5-foot width on the Abbott Street entrance to be 25-feet(maximum). 4. The driveway connection to Abbott Street does not appear to adequately meet the existing granite curb at the roadway gutter line. The Applicant should provide a new driveway apron, adjust curbing as needed, and provide new ADA compliant ramps at this driveway connection. 5. Section 8.5.A—The Applicant should adjust parking spaces 9 through 32 to be within the 3-foot parking setback, or request a waiver from the setback requirement. 6. The Applicant should explore the possibility of retaining the existing 48" diameter tree along Salem Street. 1ltelfard\projects1T0758\T075B.06\Docs\Letters\T0758 + + + m . 0 4 a 701 Salem Street Peer Review i.docx 701 Salem Street, North Andover, MA TEC Peer Review#1 The Engineering Cnrp May 14, 2019 Page 2 of 2 7. The Applicant should label the location of the one loading space on the Site Plan that meets the requirement of Section 8.5 of the Zoning Bylaw. 8. The Applicant should include the limit of work on all sheets. 9. The Applicant should confirm the locations of the lights on the photometric plan align with the photometric calculations. The calculations show an Fc of 3.7 in parking space#14 but a light is not shown in the area. 10. Snow storage west of the proposed parking lot is shown at the top of the slope, draining to the abutting property. Snow storage in this area should be revised to limit off-site runoff. 11. The Applicant should coordinate with the Town of North Andover Fire Department to confirm that the provided fire access is acceptable. 12. TEC encourages the Applicant to coordinate directly with the abutting residential owners to design a "residential buffer zone" that is amenable to all parties. 13. The Site Plan (sheet 4) shows a proposed building expansion of 8,700 square feet, but the architectural plan shows a 7,300 square foot expansion. The Applicant should clarify which dimension is accurate. 14. TEC does not agree with the use of"Storage" as a use in the required parking formula. It appears that the deliverylstorage area in the floor plan are a vital part of the proposed J&M Market (retail), and not a separate industrial storage use as listed in the Town of North Andover required parking tables. 15. The Applicant should clarify the required parking calculations, specifically if each individual area in the equation is meant to be separate uses. For example, Restaurant is comprised of 1,900 SF + 350 SF +400 SF = 2,650 SF. Is this meant to be one restaurant use? Or three separate restaurants? 16. The Applicant should clarify if the existing refuse and trash removal operations are adequate for the proposed expansion, or if a new, larger container will be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions concerning our comments at 978-794-1792.Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, TEC, Inc.

While an analysis was already shown on the plan, we'd like to see how the vehicle compares to our ladder to ensure it will be able to navigate the site. The site plan has been revised to reflect the North Andover fire truck apparatus including the specifications provided by the Fire Department. As depicted on the plans, the apparatus circulates throughout the site. 2. Where will the fire alarm panel be located and how will it interface with existing fire alarm? The project will include replacing the existing fire alarm panel to be installed in the new electrical room. All devices and wiring shall be replaced with new. Existing FACP is 22 years old and the system is approaching its expected life. 3. Where will the new sprinkler riser be [right side?] and how will it interface with the existing sprinkler system? Would like to see an analysis of fire protection systems done by a design professional to ensure systems in old and new sections can work cohesively as required by code. The existing sprinkler riser will stay where it is. The new 6" line on the right side of the building has been removed from the plans. Since the hazard level is not increasing and the expansion is not significant, the existing 4" line remains . . ........ ............... ......... _.... commercial retail residential mixed use subdivisions industrial municipal 21 High Street,Suite 207 CIVIL DESIGN GROUP LLC North Andover,MA 01845 Tel 978,794.59)0 ENGINEERING.

A new bi-directional amplifier will need to be installed throughout the building.

The water service for 25 Abbott Street appears to cut through the Applicant's property and may need to be re-routed due to proposed construction, The applicant has discussed the water service relocation with the Owners of 25 Abbott Street and have agreed to move the service to Abbott Street. The applicant will work with the Water Department prior to construction to determine the preferred connection point within Abbott Street. 2, The existing water lines for the Plaza do not appear to be accurately shown on the plan. The plans have been revised to reflect the correct water services lines. 3. The former water service line as shown on the plans for the Plaza is shut off at the curb stop and must be abandoned at the Town's maul line. The plans have been updated to include removal of the remaining water service line from the curb stop to the main. 4. The existing service line for 695 Salem St is not shown.

It should be abandoned at the right location, which can be determined at a later date. The plans have been revised to reflect the structure as a sewer manhole and furthermore, noted to remain in the post development condition. 2. It appears there is a sewer easement to the rear of the property, not shown on the plans. Research is necessary to determine who has rights to this sewer line, including 25 Abbott Street. The Owner has indicated that the sewer easement is for the benefit of 695 Salem Street and is not aware of any rights for the benefit of 25 Abbott Street. However, the Owner is willing to grant 25 Abbott Street sewer easement connection rights provided all work is done so at the expense of 25 Abbott Street. Health We do not have any issues with the site plan and only have one comment regarding the dumpster which is already existing. It was pre-existing when the Town of North Andover Board of Health adopted Dumpster Regulations which now require it to be located 20` from the building. It is proposed in the same location and appears to be within 20'. We will work with them on the interior design when it moves along to that stage in the permitting process. No response required. We trust the responses provided above and the enclosed plans sufficiently address the comments issued by the Town.

Section 8.5.A--The Applicant should adjust parking spaces 9 through 32 to be within the 3-foot parking setback, or request a waiver from the setback requirement. The Applicant requests a waiver from the 3-foot parking setback requirement. 6. The Applicant should explore the possibility of retaining the existing 48" diameter tree along Salem Street. The applicant does not want to retain the existing tree along Salem Street. According to the Owner, the electric company requested that the tree be removed in order to mitigate power outages. 7. The Applicant should label the location of the one loading space on the Site Plan that meets the requirement of Section 8.5 of the Zoning Bylaw. Space 70 on the Site Plan has been expanded to be 12'x25' and is labeled as "Employee Parking/Loading Area" to satisfy the requirement. The inside curb line adjacent to this space has been modified to maintain the 24' drive aisle. 8. The Applicant should include the limit of work on all sheets. The limit of work line has been added to the Cover sheet and Site Plan sheet. 9. The Applicant should confirm the locations of the lights on the photometric plan align with the photometric calculations. The calculations show an Fc of 3.7 in parking space #14 but a light is not shown in the area. The revised photometric plan shows accurate Fe values based on the locations of the proposed site lights. 10. Snow storage west of the proposed parking lot is shown at the top of the slope, draining to the abutting property, Snow storage in this area should be revised to limit off-site runoff. The snow storage area has been revised to limit off-site runoff. 11. The Applicant should coordinate with the Town of North Andover Fire Department to confirm that the provided fire access is acceptable. Our office has coordinated with the North Andover Fire Department and they have provided the specifications of their largest apparatus.

TEC encourages the Applicant to coordinate directly with the abutting residential owners to design a "residential buffer zone"that is amenable to all parties. The Owner has reached out and is currently working with the abutters to satisfy their concerns. 13. The Site Plan (sheet 4) shows a proposed building expansion of 8,700 square feet, but the architectural plan shows a 7,300 square foot expansion. The Applicant should clarify which dimension is accurate. The proposed building expansion is approximately 8,700 SF. The 7,300 SF indicated on the Architectural Plan represents the net increase in building area since there is approximately 1,400 SF of demolition. 14. TEC does not agree with the use of"Storage" as a use in the required parking formula. It appears that the delivery/storage area in the floor plan are a vital part of the proposed ,1&M Market (retail), and not a separate industrial storage use as listed in the Town of North Andover required parking tables. The building inspector has reviewed and provided written feedback on the project. The Building Inspector has confirmed that 72 required parking spaces meets the applicable zoning requirements. 15. The Applicant should clarify the required parking calculations, specifically if each individual area in the equation is meant to be separate uses. For example, Restaurant is comprised of 1,900 SF + 350 SF+400 SF=2,650 SF. Is this meant to be one restaurant use? Or three separate restaurants? The restaurant uses are limited to a pizzeria, a sit down restaurant, and a Dunkin'. 16. The Applicant should clarify if the existing refuse and trash removal operations are adequate for the proposed expansion, or if a new, larger container will be needed.

Please make sure that this is incorporated into the plan revision. Also, I spoke with Lt. Daniel Lanen about the large vehicles that park along Abutt Street, he suggested the installation of"no parking"signs on the Taki's side of the street(the addition of this still requires approval by the Board of Selectmen). Lt. Lanen expressed that he thought that the street was wide enough to allow parking on the other side of the road, but I will need to check with DPW to see what their thoughts are on this. Lt. Lanen has confirmed his attendance at the July 30th meeting as requested by the Planning Board. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. https:I)mall.google.comlmaillu107ik=dadd 1872e7&view=pt&search=all&permth i d=th read-a%3Ar7410620724555489622&simpl=msg-a%3Ar-60045429... 619 8/5/2019 Town of North Andover Mait-Department Review 695-701 Salem Street(Revised Plans and Responses to comments) 1 Best wishes, i Monica [Quoted text hidden] phi[.henry@cdgeng!near!ng.com <phil.henry@cdgengineering.com> Tue, Jul 23, 2019 at 1:53 PM To: Monica Gregoire <mgregoire@northandoverma.gov> Cc: John Borgesi <jborgesl@northandoverma.gov>, Brian Vaughan <bvaughan@smolakvaughan.com>, James Xonakis <jmxenakis@yahoo,com> Thanks Monica.

In addition to the making the requested peer review changes, the following is a list of changes incorporated from the Planning Board takeaways: 1. The parking plan has been improved upon by: a. Adding 'truck only' signage for spaces 1, 2, 69 and 70 b. Elongated spaces 3-8 to 26 feet 2. Updated fire truck circulation per Eire Department comment. 3. Updated the Landscape plan per Con Com comments, 4. Updated water service connections per water department comment. 5. Lowered the perimeter building wall 2 feet and the ridge of the main roof 5'4'.The gable over the market entrance was dropped 2'-0", The floor plan is the same. 6. In addition, it is noted that while the Owner/Applicant has added the fence along Salem Street for screening, the Owner continues to believe that this is not an ideal solution for reasons discussed at the hearing (ie, likely to be damaged and/or knocked over given site constraints, will not have intended effect based on circulation, reduced site lines for traffic/safety and much less aesthetically pleasing.) It is noted that the Applicant has approached neighbors and offered to install a row of arborvitaes for screening on the property of the neighboring land owners across Salem Street and Abbott Street, along their property lines, in lieu of fence and has yet to hear back from a number of them. It is believed that this would provide a better solution to address the stated concerns of the neighbors across the street with respect to buffering and screening for both fighting and noise. The Owner/Applicant would agree to a condition in a decision where the Owner/Applicant could at its option elect to install such landscape screening,with the consent of the two applicable neighbors across Salem Street, in lieu of installing the fencing along Salem Street. https://app,box,com/s/g53183kxtsgk8yviezhvpnjhtk5w4xsr https://mai 1,googio.com/ma if/u/0?ik=dadd 1872e7&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-a%3Ar7410620724555489622&si mpl=msg-a°/a 3Ar-60045429... 7/9 815/2019 Town of North Andover Mail-Department Review 695-701 Salem Street{Revised Flans and Responses to comments] I will hand deliver 2 copies of everything today.
