New Stevens Hall, Inc. 100 Federal St. , Boston The following is taken from available records: 1. The facility, known as the Stevens Hall Convalescent Horne is located in the R-4 District and was constructed in 1972-1973, the nursing home use was allowed by right in the district. Under subsequent amendment to the Zoning By-Law, such uses are now allowed only by special permit. The Special Permit Granting authority is the Planning Board. 2. February 1992--the nature of the facility changed from a nursing horse to facility primarily devoted to the treatment and rehabilitation of head trauma victims. As a result of these changes, on-site parking was inadequate and the sutrounding residential neighborhood was experiencing the impacts of spillover parking on side streets, as well as increased traffic flow. 3. June 1992—North Andover Police Department issues Resident Parking Stickers for Portion of Pleasant Street bordering 75 Park Street. 4. September 1992—Planning Board Site Plan Review for SLF Corporation & Health and Rehabilitation Properties Trust for 75 Park Street; 59-61 Parr Street and 290 Osgood Street reviewed the proposed parking area to serve the existing nursing home. The Site Plan Review of the planning Board approved the Demolition or relocation of the existing dwelling located at 290 Osgood Street in order to create the parking area. 5. To the best of my knowledge the Town did request the nursing home to attempt to find off street parking at other close locations while the parking issue was being addressed. Once again to the best of my knowledge, temporary space had been rented at the VFVV and McAloon package store parking lots. 6. The parking lot created for the nursing home contains approximately 61 spaces and 30 additional spaces are located under the nursing home structure for a total of 91 parking spaces: i { s i� .'1 _ ��^�_ 5.. lE BSI• ,, *k�{4 � _ � I.

The members of the Board of Appeals reviewed their input at the February 11, 1992 meeting. The following people were present: the neighbors, Mr. John Keeney from Stevens Home, Robert Nicetta and Karen Nelson. During the next month prior to our March meeting the Division of Planning and Community Development staff will be researching the conformity of the use as it existed before the zoning amendment requiring a special permit,and as the facility presently exists, However, an interim measure was suggested to alleviate the on-street parking problem, as it presents a safety and nuisance problem for the residents of the inunediate area. It is recommended that the Selectmen impose an immediate" No Parking Regulation" or "Resident Parking Only" limitation in the immediate area until a permanent solution can be made. Mr. Keeney agreed with the Board members suggestion that the Board of Selectmen consider imposing some form of parking prohibition on Part Street as noted on the last page of Counsel's response. Mr. Keeney stated that this would force his employees to use the Buco parking lot at the end of the street and supported the idea, along with the neighbors.

SLF and HRPT propose to extend the existing nursing home use of 75 Park Street onto two adjacent parcels: 290 Osgood and 59-61 Park. Specifically, they propose to (1.) construct an accessory parking lot serving the nursing home to be located primarily on the 290 Osgood parcel and (2) develop an outdoor sitting and walking area for nursing home residents to be located primarily at 59-61 Park. If the Board approves of these extensions, the petitioners request that a special permit authorizing the nursing home use as extended be issued. SLF and HRPT do not, however, waive their ' i position that the existing nursing home use at 75 Park Street is a valid nonconforming use. Very truly yours, Victor N.
