Victor Hatem and Ben Osgood appeared before the Board to request the Board to lower the amount of the bank book being held on the Raleigh Tavern sub- division. They request the release up to the turnaround; they have a few minor corrections to make before the turnaround is completed. A letter was received from the Highway Surveyor recommending that $3,000 be released and to leave $1,000 to cover the remaining work to be completed. Mir. Keirstead made a motion to release $3,000 of the $4j000 being held, and retain $11000 for the completion of any work to be done on Raleigh Tavern Lane North. Mr. Ostherr seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. TOWN HOUSE DEVELOPMENT: Mr. John Callahan, surveyor and engineer, and Mr. Walter Hughes appeared before the Board with preliminary plans for a town house development off Prescott St. Mr. Hughes is planning to raze the Shady Knoll Nursing Home and build a new nursing f dome. They have approx. 7 acres and are interested in having a town house develop- ment which will be in conjunction with the nursing home and have the use of the nursing home facilities, programs, nurses, etc. It is primarily for elderly people and the town houses would be sold individually. They would meet subdivision rules and regulations as to the roadway. They presented plans showing the layout. Discussion was held as to the definition of a town house and the new Zoning By-Law was studied. Further discussion was held as to condominiums and town houses. The Zoning By-Law requires that each town house have its own lot. The Building Inspector said he would issue permits as long as the Planning Board approved the plans. They plan on having 30 town house units. 14r. Hughes said he would give a covenant or bond for the roadway. They could probably start on one part of the development immediately by fronting on Prescott Street and getting a plan signed "Not Requiring Planning Board Approval". i,.r. Keirstead suggested that 24 feet would be wide enough for secondary drives; this is sort of a P.U.D. and he is agreeable to this type of development. He said the Planning Board will probably have something ready on P.U.D. 's for March town meeting. Mr. Hughes said he would submit plans that will show individual lots with 30 ft. setbacks, showing a roadway and showing 3,000 sq. ft. lots with lg ft. frontage for each town house unit. Lengthy discussion was held and Mr. Hughes said he would rather abandon the plan than work on it in sections and not be sure of what will happen. They will appear before the Board again. 1 Monday September 11, 1972 Regular Meeting The PLANNIRr. BOARD held its regular meeting on Monday evening, September 11, 1972 in the Town Office Building with the following members present and voting: Charles W.

I•Iontei_ro made a motion to accept the minutes of the previous meeting; Mr. Chepulis seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. V TUM HOUSE D a ELOPI•%hIT: Mr. Hughes and Mr. Callahan appeared before the Board and presented new plans of the town house development which showed roadways-and separate lots of 31000 sq. ft. with 18 ft. frontage. they explained that it would be a 20 ft. paper street from the turnarounds that it would just show on the plan to meet the Board's re- quirements but would never be constructed. . Mr. Chepulis questioned the roadway being shown as a paper streets he' cdmmefited that it was a devious way to get the Board's approval.. Lengthy discussion was held on this. The plans showed that the parking areas were changed. The main roadway is the same as before. It contains the same number of units -- 30. All have proper setbacks, frontage and area. The Board said a hearing would not be necessary because this is not a subdivision. There are two large lots, one containing four acres and one containing three acres and fronting on Prescott. Street. A new roadway will be constructed under Sub- division Rules and Regulations. They will present a linen and plans at the next meeting for the Board to sign as ":.lot Requiring Approval Under the Subdivision Control Law". PROPOSED SUBDIVISION OFF JOHNSON STREET: Scott Giles, Surveyor and Atty. John Willis appeared before the Board with preliminary plans for a possible sub-livi_si.on off Johnson Street on land of Beckwith. They were concerned about the length of the roadway and turnaround. The Sub- division Rules and Regulations specify 500 feet, but they wanted to know if the Board would approve a roadway of 11000 feet. The Board said it would be all right. Atty. Willis pointed out that it could possibly connect to a roadway through to Salem Street if Henry Donovan, owner of the adjoining lands was agreeable. He will pursue this further. They will present more preliminary plans at the next meeting. IT rMVIN 1IEII3ER: a Atty. Harold Yorley discussed the Weiner plan again with the Board. This petition had been denied by the Board of Appeals and Atty. Morley wanted to discuss what could be done to the roadv,ay and how to show frontage in order to get a building permit. He asked if a 40-ft. roadway Mould be acceptable to the Board. He will present more plans to the Board for its approval at a later date. October Z, 1972 -- cont. 1 JORN WILLIS- Atty. John Willis appeared before the Board to discuss, provisions of the Sub- division Rules and Regulations relative to the degree of grades and slopes on the roads. He was informed that the regulations are still in effect allowing a 12% grade and that the proposed requirements would not apply yet. /WALTER HUGHFS: Town HousB pevelopment. Mr. Walter Hughes and Mr. John Callahan appeared before the Board with a plan showing the roadways on the townhouse development. Mr. Hughes said they don't need a subdivision plan but are asking the Board to approve a plan so that the Building Inspector will give them building permits for the townhouses. He asked the Board if the plan was all right as far as the road way was concerned. He said they will build the road from Prescott St. to the turnaround but have no intentions of building the road to the remaining townhouses; that portion of the roadway will be Just on paper and never be built. They plan to build the driveways as shown on another plan. He said this is not a subdivision because they are making ti-ro large lots actually fronting on Prescott St. They can't get bank approval or building permits until he receives Planning Board approval.. '. A lengthy discussion was held about not constructing the roadway and the Zoning By-Law requirement of each townhouse requiring its own lot and frontage. Mr. Keirstead said that we. have a zoning law that doesn't allow a development to be built such as is proposed. He thinks the problem is with the Building Inspector how does he have assurance that he can issue a permit? To;•mhouses have to have frontage on a street. The Building Inspector had said previously that he would issue permits if the Planning Board approves the street. Mr. Hughes said he would forfeit the bond if necessary and that the Board could accept the road as it is shown now. The Board said he will need a full set of plans, profiles, etc. for the road. I! Mr. Hughes asked if the Board would consider a' 20--ft. road for the remaining 18 toimhouse units. Lengthy discussion was held, Mr. Ostherr made a motion,which would also become part of a Letter to be sent to the Building Inspector, that the road as shown on the plan, while it does not meet Planning Board requirements as to the roadway and turnarounds it is acceptable for the purposes of issuing permits. Mr. MontUro seconded the motion. Further discussion was held. I' Mr. Keirstead suggested that' the Board give the roadway tentative approval as a preliminary plan; he said there -are two exceptions to the requirements, the 20-ft. roadway and no turnaround on the second road. i Mr. Ostherr then made a motion that the Planning Board approve the plan entitled "A Site and Topographic Plan for Townhouse Development in North Andover, Mass'. dated April 20, 1972" with the 'street as shown in broom" on said plan; that we y tentatively, approve this street as shown on this preliminary plan subject to the eventual submission of detailed specifications of the roadway. Mr. Monteiro j seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. E i E Tuesday October 1.7, 1972 Special #eting The PLANNING BOARD held a special meeting on Tuesday evening, October 17-1 1972 at 7:30 P.M. in the Town Office Building with the following members present and voting: Charles W. Trombly, Jr. f Chairman, Donald N. Keirstead, Vice Ch. ; William Chepulis and John J. Monteiro. Fritz Ostherr was out of town and unable to attend. Mr. Keirstead made a motion to amend the previous minutes using the word "position"instead of "petition" with reference to the Jay Road problem; and to accept the minutes with that correction. Mr. Monteiro seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. PROPOSED SUBDIVISION OFF JOHNSON STREET: Atty. John J. Willis requested that the Board set a hearing date for the proposed subdivision off Johnson Street for which he had already submitted preliminary plans. Mr. Monteiro made a motion to set Monday, November 20th as the hearing date; Mr. Keirstead seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. JWALTER HUGHES: Townhouse Development Mr. Hughes and Mr. Callahan presented further plans to the Board. showing the ' townhouse development divided into lots with the required frontage. Mr. Callahan said he shoti'red the plans to the Bldg. Inspector who said he would like approval from the Planning Board as to the roadway. Mr. Keirstead said the only solution is to file the plans as a subdivision and go through all of the procedures required as a subdivision. The road can be built with a covenant, utilities installed, etc. and then building permits can be issued. The clearest, simplest way is to file as a subdivision.' He said if a I plan was approved without a subdivision hearing, they would be taking a chance on whetber or not they would get a building permit. When the By--law was draim up, 'the Board did not conceive that this type of a plan would be presented. Mr. Hughes suggested that the By--law be amended. He said it would have been fairer if the Board had told him from the start that a subdivision hearing would be necessary instead of having this trouble from meeting to meeting; Mr. Callahan said building permits could be issued right away for the tocmhouses fronting on Prescott Street. Mr. Hughes asked if there was any way to get a preliminary approval of this plan. Mr. Callahan asked if the Board would approve the roadway and they would covenant it just as if it were under a subdivision. Mr. Keirstead said the Board operates under state statute and would have to do as is required. He said the Board could approve the plans as a preliminary plan. Mr. Callahan said there is adequate area and frontage shown on the plan for each unit. Discussion was held on the installation of utilities, roadway, etc. A lengthy discussion was held on this development, again. \_� j Tuesday - October 17, 1912 -- cont. Mr. Keirstead made a motion to 'grant tentative approval of this preliminary plan under the Subdivision Control Law; Mr. Monteiro seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. Mr. Keirstead then made a motion to set a hearing on the tentative plans for November 20th subject to plans being received prior to that time. Mr. Monteiro seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. ` CHESTER C. SULLIVAN PLANS t Mr. Sullivan presented corrected plans to the Board for signature as "Not Requiring Planning Board Approval" for the Peterson land on Salem Street. After thorough discussion, the Board signed the plans. Mr. Sullivan then presented•preliminary subdivision plans to the Board for the ' development of the interior land on Salem Street. Discussion was held on these plans. 1, .. . Mr. Keirstead made a motion to grant tentative .approval to the preliminary plan of "Salem Gardens". Mr. Monteiro seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. Mr. Keirstead then made a motion to set a hearing on the tentative plan for November 20th if proper plans are submitted prior to that time. Mr. Monteiro seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. JAY ROAD: or John Shields Nothing had been received from Town Counsevrelative to the Jay Road drainage problem. Mr. Keirstead said we should if-rite to •Town Counsel asking for whatever communication lie has received and notifying us. He said he had talked with Town Counsel by telephone and was 'told that it was cleared with Mr. Shields and that Town Counsel is drafting the necessary legal papers to get the $2400. The money is in a go-day account wad not available until January. Mr. Keirstead suggested that no action be taken on this tonight because the petitioners have gone before other town bodies to get this. If not successful in getting the money, the Selectmen suggested that Mr. Nicetta expend his money and then be re1mbursed. Mr. Nicetta indicated he would not do as the Selectmen asked. Everyone can wait until town meeting and ask for acceptance of the road and additional money for completion of the job but there may be a legal problem on whether the town can do anything on a private road. The real problem is that the catch basins Are full of dirt and cannot take the water. Mr. Monteiro feels this is an emergency. The Board should take the $2400 and use it. The street could not be accepted if it is not in proper condition. Mr. Chepulis said that in an emergency the money could probably be taken out of a 90-day account. Mr. Keirstead said if we did get the money, the catch basins can get cleaned. The law says the Planning Board can administer this money for the road. Mr. Monteiro made a motion that we expedite the receipt of the $2400. Mr. Keirstead suggested that we ask Torm Counsel to see if we can get the money immediately. .

Mr. Callahan proceeded to explain the plans submitted. He stated he had discussed with the Building Inspector the space between the buildings and that interpretation of the Zoning By--law now requires 2� feet from the lot line to the building, making 50• feet between buildings and the plans now 'show that along with the proper lot frontage and area. The kt.ounhouse complex will be made up of 31 units. They have adequate utilities. They will follow the natural drainage where possible and they want to keep the trees and natural topography of the area. They have also developed a recreation area. The unIts will be available to elderly people, tvho w311 also have use of the medical services of the` nursin home. the townhouse complex would be used in conjunction withuthesnursingrhomela Hed that believes the plans now meet all requirements as to subdivision and zoning. Mr. Evangelos was concerned about the care of the grounds because the present nursing � home is poorly kept. Mr. Hughes explained that he will have ownership in the torm- f house development but not with the nursing home. . Keirstead explained that before any action is taken by the Board, the sub- division plans are referred to various departments for recommendations from them and that conditions can be 'attached t'o the decision. November 201 1972 -- cont, Mr. Stamp asked about the tot-mhouse development being under joint ownership and condominiums. . Mr. Keirstead explained that condominium is a type of ownership and that it is not the Boardvs concern as to how the land is sold. The lots as shown meet the zoning requirements. The roadway, grater, drainage} etc. are the concern of the Planning Board and that they are done properly. Drainage, water and sewer will be re— ferred to the proper departments. These facilities are not presently shown on the plans. Mr. Keirstead made a motion to adjourn the hearing and continue it on December 4th on the condition that completed plans are in the nfki a Planning Board office by November 27th.

Shirley Jacksont Salem Street, lives across the street and said that area is wet 9 months out of the year. They are still fighting with the tovm because of the drainage problem the new street caused. Their driveway gets flooded. Mr. Morris, the engineer, said the drainage is running to the rear of the sub— division to the brook. Mr. Jackson said they; are having problems with sewerage with one acre of land. ?,That problems will there be on 1/2 acre lots? , Discussion was held on the Hatch & Jones Act and Wetlands. Atty. Sullivan said 10 pere tests were made on the front lots. Airs. Jackson asked why they were re--zoned and the lots made. smaller. Mr. Keir— stead explained that the Board felt that facilities would be extended and that large lots would.not be necessary. Jam',s Kerney, Salem St., asked if the town would maintain the roadway. Mr. Chepulis explained that the Highway Dept. usually plows the road and services and collections are made after homes are built but that the street has to be accepted by the town before maintenance of the roadway is done by the town.

The Hatch.-Jones Act should be complied with in this instance. At the present time he would have to disapprove the subdivision and have corrected plans show how to take care of the water problem. No topographical plan has been submitted. The plans do not show adequate drainage. f Mr. Trombly read a letter from the Highway Surveyor which stated that drainage should be provided to prevent water from .flowing onto Salem Street.
