Re: Site Plan Review - The
Greenery 59-61 Park
Street
Dear Ms. Bradshaw:
The North Andover Planning Board held a public hearing on
December 6, 1994 in the Senior Center behind the Town Building on
the application of The Greenery Extended Care Center, 75 Park
Street, North Andover, MA. , requesting Site Plan approval under
Section 8 . 3 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw. The legal notice
was properly advertised in the North Andover Citizen and all
parties of interest were duly notified. The following members were
present: Richard Nardella, Chairman, Joseph Mahoney, Vice
Chairman, Richard Rowen, Clerk and John Simons.
Mr. Rowen read the legal notice to open the public hearing.
Ms. Colwell gave the Board an overview of the original permit
and specific prohibition against use of the residential building as
an office.
Mr. Thomas Long, Administrator of the Greenery, stated that
the issue is use of the duplex building.
Mr. Nardella stated that the Planning Board representations to
the neighborhood were that this use would not expand, not willing
to entertain expansion unless there is a critical need.
Mr. Long would not operate client services out of this
building, would use it for secretarial staff. Did meet with the
neighbors on this issue.
Mr. Rowen stated that unless 100% of the neighbors are in
support, he would not be in favor.
Mr. Simons stated that the decision specifically states that
the building is not to be used for office space, it is an
incremental increase of a non-conforming use.

Mr. Mahoney is not inclined to change decision, Mr. Long had
knowledge of space limitations when he purchased the company.
Mr. Nardella suggests a meeting with the abutters but unless
there was 100% support for the expansion he would not be in favor
of it.
Walter Mahoney, Vice President of Operations, resident of
North Andover, have 40 residents all from North Andover.
Regulations have changed, records need to be kept now that were not
required previously, asset to the community in that it is
maintaining the site, do have a problem with space.
Mr. Nardella sympathetic to business storage issues but
believes there are ways to address issue. Planning Board is
unanimous in its feelings on this issue. If there is agreement
with the neighborhood he would suggest coming back to the Planning
Board then.
Mr. David McHale, Pleasant street, expressed concerns with
problems with traffic, lights and noise,
Mr. Larry Murray, 60 Park Street, would like the Planning
Board to vote on the issue tonight, would like to express
disagreement with the expansion, direct abutters to the project,
want to keep Park street a residential neighborhood.
Mr. Nardella stated that the applicant may choose to continue
the public hearing to work things out with the neighbors or
withdraw.
Mr. Rowen stated that the burden was on the Greenery to show
that modification is a good thing for the neighborhood.
Mr. Murray stated that it would be an additional burden on the
neighbors to continue to come to additional meetings,
Mr. Long asked what should the Greenery should come back with
on December 20th. Mr. Nardella told him to talk with the abutters
or look into other storage ideas.
Mr. McHale reiterated the burden on the neighbors to continue
to come to meetings.
On a motion by Mr. Rowen, seconded by Mr. Mahoney, the
Planning Board continued the public hearing to December 20, 1994 .
On December 20 , 1994 , the Planning Board held a regular
meeting. The following members were present: Joseph Mahoney, Vice
Chairman, Richard Rowen, Clerk, John Simons and Alison Lescarbeau,
