RALEIGH TAVERN SUBDIVISION:

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.

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.

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

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

William Chepulis and John J. Monteiro. Fritz Ostherr was out of town and unable

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.

a brook runs through the property and there is a wet area near the abutting
Smith property, an accumulation of surface water and the water was high. The
Hatch.-Jones Act should be complied with in this instance. At the present time

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. The letter

formance with their requirements. The Conservation Commission reported that t

Gardens" subdivision for the following reasons; -
1. The plans are not adequate under our existing regulations.

required.

a ponded area in the general vicinity of lots A, 7t S & q.
4. Additional drainage must be shown; specifically: two catch basins at the
junction of Bannan Drive and Salem Street to intercept water that would
enter from Salem Street.
5. Additional substantial drainage should be provided for drainage of the
paraded areal as previously mentioned.
6. The Board of Health has advised that they require percolation tests by i
a sanitary engineer on each .lot before the lot will be approved for
i
building purposes.
Mr. Vionteiro seconded the mot
ion and the vote was unanimous.
