50 5:30 PM. In summary the email stated that the traffic blocks the entrance to her street and other side streets daily between
51 5:30-6:30 p.m.Traffic is at a standstill during this tune and an inconvenience to residents.Suggests traffic study be performed
52 prior to bond release or retain larger portion of the bond.
53 B. Goldberg: Communicated to the Board that he spoke with A.Koenig and suggested a better alternative to the bond release.
54 The Community Partnership Agreement between the Town and Amazon states 1-year post occupancy Amazon is to make a
55 $100K contribution to the town for a traffic mitigation study and improvement necessitated by the traffic generated due to the
56 full use of the project.Amazon contemplated this situation that A.Koenig raised and there are funds set aside to mitigate this;
57 the performance bond addresses conditions regarding the interior of the site and trips generated.Amazon funds will be
58 coming in May of 2025;encouraged Town officials to talk earlier,start studying these issues now.Keeping$1 OK of the
59 performance bond funds for potential interior and trip calculation makes sense,
60 J. Simons: Questioned how traffic operated at peak operations.
61 J.Enright: From memory,Western Electric had 12K workers,(Amazon 3,500) and required a police detail at 7:30 a.m. &
62 3:30 p.m, to let the traffic out onto Osgood St.There was a lot of traffic on Sutton St.This is the first time this concern has
63 been raised regarding Amazon;received calls regarding tractor trailer trucks on Rte. 125 south of the site.Will certainly
64 observe this situation going forward.Amazon also agreed to establish a$100K escrow account 30 days after the CO;those
65 funds have been received and are in an account designated for post construction traffic mitigation equipment.
66 E. Goldberg:Encouraged residents to contact Select Board members,or Town Manager's office if they are experiencing these
67 or other related issues.
68 MOTION: J. Simons made a motion to release of$70K from the$80K bond for 1450 Osgood Street,Hillwood Enterprises

74 and Article 10 Section 195-10.7 of the Zoning Bylaw to authorize construction of a new single-family house,infrastructure,
75 and site grading on an undeveloped lot within the Non-Discharge Zone and subsurface drainage within the Non-Disturbance
76 zone of the Watershed Protection District.The property is located in the Residential 3 zoning district.
77 J.Enright: The ANR plan,approved 11/2022 and subsequent Variance decision for CBA are in the meeting packet.Variance
78 was approved on June 13,2023;time stamped into the Clerk's Office June 26,2023 and according to the Zoning Enforcement
79 Officer has expired. Confirmed with the Zoning Enforcement Officer that a new application for a variance and a new public
80 hearing is required. Plans were revised to address all stormwater peer review conunents; all revisions were noted.The O&M
81 plan was updated to reflect additional information requested.
82 Jack Sullivan Sullivan Engineering&James Erb JCE Properties Development LLQ:Tasked with managing peak rate and
83 volume of runoff for site modeled on a 2, 10,25 and 100-year storm event.The 100-year event is based on 8.6"of rain;has
84 decreased the peak rate and volume in every scenario. The design is low impact design captured in a sub-surface infiltration
85 system. Selected low impact materials onsite as well,pervious pavers for driveways and walkways.All has been peer
86 reviewed by the consultant;no current stormwater management system on site. Provided pretreatment for better water quality,
87 controlling storniwater runoff,deed restrictions limiting fertilizers.This process provides more controls knowing we are in the
88 watershed.Variance expired,however we feel the developer"exercised"within the time limit.No official building permit was
89 issued because we were going through the watershed process with this Board,prior to building permit being issued.Early in
90 the process,the Inspector met with J. Erb (applicant)who has been trying to move forward.
91 Jamcs Erb: Communicated that before making an offer on the property he spoke with the Building Commissioner and
92 understood establishing a permit application or some work on the project was acceptable.There is an electrical permit on the
93 site,installed a temporary pole which was inspected,added power to it,hired Sullivan Engineering and has been going
94 through this process for 3 mmntlns.keels lne's done his due diligence as far as"exercising"what the variance called for us to
95 "exercise"considering the time line and the variance when we purchased the property. Stated Paul Hutchins assured him that
96 he would not need an extension as long as we were exercising what we needed to do on the property in order to move
97 forward.We purchased the property in April/May 2024;hired engineer right away,spoke with Planning about it as well.
98 J.Enright:Watershed Special Permit application was filed 6/11/24.Variance authorized the construction of a single-family
99 home. There is an email in your packets from the Building Commissioner with his recent determination of the expiration.

Sean Kevlahan
Tuesday August 13 2024 7 an. 120 Main Street—Town Hall North Andover MA 01 845
100 E. Goldberg: It's not this Board's place to adjudicate whether you've done enough to not need an extension. The `
101 Commissioner or Town Counsel can give us an opinion that you've met your obligations;you call contest that opinion,
102 legally. Stated the Board will hear from other members of the public and discuss the merits of the project concerns and next
103 steps.
104 J. Simons: There is no building permit approval,or Planning Board approval. Questioned how the applicant can you say he
105 acted on it other than you tried;defers to Building Inspector and Town Counsel.
106 J.Erb: We can't obtain a building permit until we get Planning Board approval; that's the stipulation.
107 E.Goldberg: The statutory language ZBA is using is ambiguous;what does"exercise"really mean?All permits need to be in
108 hand or does it mean taking the steps,such as filing a permit that you need in the process.Filing an extension would have
109 been advisable.
110 J.Enright:No public comment has been received.
III Melissa Marrama homeowner,327 Salem St.: Recapped safety and water concerns. After last meeting,came home to 13
112 boulders,36"high on the part of the driveway that belongs to Mr. Erb,which is a safety hazard. Alerted DPW,police and fire.
113 Town engineer thinks it is a safety concern and she will get that in writing. Police have installed signs for a hidden driveway
114 because it is a dead driveway there.At this point 7.5 ft,have been taken from the original driveway which was 20 ft.; it's now
115 12.5 ft. on a dead driveway. I have cleared the existing 5 ft, shrubs on Appleton and Salem Streets because the previous owner
116 was warned it was a safety issue. Overall concerned for safety issue involving her driveway. Seven vehicles have hit those 1
117 boulders;fears someone will be killed there. Stated that last week when Mr.Erb learned the variance was expiring,she came
118 home to her mailbox being relocated, admitted it was on his property.It was taken and put into a cement bucket and placed on
119 her driveway which was trespassing and the federal postmaster is investigating;NAPD made aware of it. Four feet of rocks
120 were moved from the existing,historic rock wall.Were those rocks taken into consideration with the watershed? It is a
121 historic rock wall that is being deconstructed on the property. Still has water in her barn bordering the property.
122 Nathan Styles&Bobbi Xayarath,abutters,240 Marbleridge St.,:Reiterated concerns for ponding in the area along Salem St.
123 due to the intermittent stream that flows in between the properties.Has general concern for water issues in the area.
124 Conunented on events at 40 Flagship Drive,
125 E. Goldberg: Water concerns aren't contested,focusing on whether this single-family home and respective stormwater
126 mitigation proposed and placement,will make matters worse.They need to comply with our bylaw and not make conditions
127 worse; the engineer and peer review consultant agree,it won't make it worse.
128 J. Sullivan: We are not proposing any work within 100 ft. of the wetland.Erosion controls will be staked silt fencing,we did a
129 test hole on site and there is a high-water table,water was 41"but with good sandy soils. Development is more toward Salem
130 Street,erosion controls will be in place,not a heavily treed lot,saving trees toward the front,will be residential landscaping
131 around the home. With a large infiltration system,typically an outlet is provided so it can flow out to a lower point on the lot
132 during a large storm. This scenario overdesigns the subsurface infiltration system to store and infiltrate the 100-year storm
133 event with no release toward the abutter.Incorporated requests at the ZBA meeting to snake this as low impact:as possible.
134 N. Styles&B,Xayarath;Inquired as to wiry the design of the filtration system changed; drainage field is oriented differently
135 than the original plan from a year ago,
136 J. Sullivan:The system got bigger;increased the size of the drainage system;need to stay 10 ft. off the property line and 10 ft.
137 off the foundation, meeting the performance setbacks for stormwater management. Confirmed this is on sewer,
138 E.Goldberg: Asked that more thought be given to additional water mitigation measures of protection be considered.
139 J.Erb: Has made initial considerations if homeowner wants a future pool on site the infiltration system will not have to be
140 reconfigured and relocated. .
141 J. Sullivan: If the owners want a pool,we'll be before Planning for another Watershed Special Permit.
142 N. Styles: The design of the original house has changed since a year ago at the ZBA;garage and driveway.Trees were
143 removed from the property,various designs changed,questions the accuracy of the analysis,Questioned the accuracy of the
144 peer review analysis; they are not familiar with the current changes made on site. Questioned what protections the neighbors
145 have.
146 E. Goldberg.This was peer reviewed based on the current plain and met with no objection. All conditions in our decision will
147 need to be followed;if you can find ideas that we can incorporate to make you more comfortable,let us know.
148 P.Boynton: Suggested a"look-back"condition in the decision within a timefranne.
149 E. Goldberg: Asked engineer how they measure success of a drainage system, Before and after measurements possible?

150 J. Sullivan:Model existing conditions,has proposed design, installed and there are weekly inspections while this is being built
151 and given to the Planning Board,The infiltration system is part of the weekly inspections;has ability to measure the new
152 water levels versus existing.
153 E. Goldberg:Would like to consider a condition that measures the water level in the infiltration chamber after a significant
154 storm event and compares that level to the modeled level. This could be conditioned for three storm events after construction
155 to determine if the design is working as predicted.
156 J.Erb: Questioned adding more conditions where there are two annual reports required.
157 J. Sullivan:The first three rain events are manageable to determine efficiency.
158 E.Goldberg:Procedurally,to vote we need assurances from ZBA.Request a determination from the Zoning Enforcement
159 Officer Hutchins and/or Town Counsel next week.You'll be on the next agenda or the one after; let us know your timetable
160 beforehand.

163 1101 Turnnilie Street,Metrowest Realty,LLC: Application for a Land Disturbance Permit in connection with proposed
164 construction of a parking lot expansion at the Merrimack Valley Operation and Maintenance Facility(National Grid). The
165 project consists of repaving and restriping of an existing parking area,a parking lot expansion,stormwater and ancillary
166 landscape improvements retaining wall,and utility improvements to support its use. The property is located in the Industrial 1
167 zoning district.
168 J.Enright:Applicant is proposing a 72-space parking lot expansion and repave/restripe the 6,000 SF existing lot.The
169 proposed parking lot expansion includes landscaping,utility, and stormwater improvements. Project disturbs 56,000 SF and
170 increases impervious surface by more than 22,000 SF.Portion of the proposed site work is within the 100-foot buffer zone to
171 an onsite resource area,as well as the 200-foot riverfront area of an onsite perennial stream. Proposed stormwater
172 management system includes catch basins that discharge into a gravel wetland with a sediment forebay. As a reminder,this
173 application is before you under the provisions of Chapter 160: Storinwater Management and Erosion Control bylaw and
174 Chapter 250: Stormwater Management and Erosion Control Regulations.Per Chapter 165 the Planning Board shall take final
175 action on an application within 60 days of receipt of a complete application.
176 E. Goldberg: Should we be considering a different type permit for this project?
177 J. Simons:We are trying to understand logic and rationale for their proposal;this open field is perhaps the most attractive part
178 of the property,potentially impacts wetland resources and streams,need context for the reasoning for the expansion.
179 P.Boynton: It's a slope on a principal thoroughfare;engineering is critical to a weather event impacting the roadway. At the
180 last meeting we asked what the applicant is doing at the facility that drives this decision and location;need more context to
181 make a decision.
182 Jeff Koetteritz,PE-VHB &JercMy Stevenson,PE-JLL,Project Mgr.-National Grid: From an accessibility standpoint,being
183 proximate to the building entrance was critical and is located where the majority of the staff is going;balancing around the
184 riverfront area and the 100 ft.buffer zone to the southern portion of that site was the reason for placement of the parking.
185 J. Stevenson: Chose to expand existing front parking area to locate the ADA parking in the front of the building proximate to
186 two large auditoriums in the building where many employees attend frequent trainings.This is an active storm site which
187 aeconuniodates a fair amount of people remotely located that are called in sometimes for 12-24 hours, There is not a lot of
188 parking outside the area.There is a lay down area located to the south of the building orientated on the plan accessible via a
189 steep slope that runs from the main parking area to a lay down area which gets fairly icy during the winter months which
190 prompted owners to request safe parking as close as possible to the building.
191 J. Simons: To understand this you need to understand the use of the facility,whether it's changed or whether they need an
192 alternate permit.National Grid is a long-time neighbor,the look and feel of the property is attractive today. Questioned
193 whether there will be more employees than there now. Prefers to hear an account fi•om.someone who works there. Questioned
194 how many parking spaces exist on the property today and what percentage are occupied today.
195 J,Koetteritz:There are approximately 336 spaces on site today;proposed improvements add 66 to that(432).
196 J. Stevenson:Due to varying shifts with vehicles entering and exiting, it's difficult to say how many are occupied.Parking is
197 almost entirely used in the larger area to the side the main facility. Trees bordering the parking are proposed to be increased.
198 E.Goldberg: Questioned whether there is a Site Plan Special Permit for the property currently.

199 r.Enright:No, the existing facility likely Pre-dates site plan review. Because they attested that the use is not changing,site
200 plan review was not triggered,
201 J. Simons: Would like to know parking requirements based on the size and the use,
202 E. Goldberg: Questioned whether MEPA thresholds are triggered by the increase of 66 parking spaces on a state highway.
203 J. Koetteritz: Will check into that.
204 P.Boynton: Some of the handicapped parking spaces noted on the plan are quite a distance from the building;do the 66 total
205 new spaces simply increase the number parking spaces at the facility?The new barking lot extends so far out that it is no more
206 proximate than the rear lot.
207 J. Koetteritz: Parking increases the proximity to the building. Parking to the south is utilized for accessory parking and
208 laydown.Perspective rendering showing the building and new parking are in progress, along with the photometric plan.The
209 net cut/frll is approx. 1,300 cubic yards of export as part of this project,will follow up with documented numbers.
210 E. Goldberg:Follow up items include: Planning to research parking requirements for this type of facility,VIJB will wake sure
211 this doesn't trip any MEPA thresholds along with items requested at the last meeting, relay to National Grid attendance would
212 be helpful at(lie next meeting to convey exactly what they are doing.
213 J. Koetteritz: Still open with Conservation which will be continued tomorrow night. To close out storrnwater peer review we
214 need to perform additional test pits.
215 J. Enright: They filed for an extension to allow time to render a decision to 9/12/24,two days after the meeting 9/10/24.
