does not want to force the applicant to build a road. Ms. Messina stated that if she builds
the other lot she would have to bring the road up to Town standards. Ms. Colwell stated
that she does not want the next owner to get penalized because Ms. Messina got the
waiver. Mr. Mahoney stated that he does not feel that if she gets this approval and then
someone else buys the property that Ms. Messina should have to do this work if they
would already know that they had to do it. Ms. Messina stated that she has not looked at
the possibility of the lots being buildable. Ms. Colwell stated that the Scully property has
frontage on Great Pond Road and the only lot that would need road frontage is the lot
adjacent to Ms. Messina and that could be deeded as conservation land.

unanimously to grant an extension until May 19, 1998.

a single family home and driveway. 2.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
In accordance with 4.136(4) the Planning Board makes the finding that the intent of the Bylaw, as
well as its specific criteria,are met. Specifically the Planning Board finds-
1. That as a result of the proposed construction in conjunction with other uses nearby, there
will not be any significant degradation of the quality or quantity of water in or entering Lake
Cochichewick. The Planning Board bases its findings on the following facts:
a) The proposed dwelling will be connected to the Town sewer system;
b) Storm water runoff from the roof of the proposed dwelling will be collected and
directed to dry wells which will infiltrate and treat the runoff;
c) Storm water runoff from the driveway will be infiltrated and treated by means of
grassed"biofilter swale"placed alongside the driveway;
d) All work on the lot will be conducted outside of the Non-Disturbance Zone.
2. that there is no reasonable alternative location outside the Non-Discharge Buffer Zone for
any discharge, structure or activity, associated with the proposed project as the access to the
lot is located within the Non-Discharge Zone.
In accordance with Section 10.31 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw, the Planning Board makes
the following findings:
A. The specific site is an appropriate location for the proposed use as all feasible storm water and
erosion controls have been placed on the site; -
B. The use will not adversely affect the neighborhood as the lot is located in a residential zone;
C. There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians;
