6
and be binding upon the applicant, its employees,

interest or control.

Board:
a. Section 7 (A) (2) Width: Booth Street was laid out in a
subdivision plan recorded in 1913 . At that time forty

Board will waive the current fifty (50) foot right-of-
way requirement.
b. Section 7 (A) (4) Dead-End Streets: The Planning Board
waives the street length maximum of 500 feet. Booth
Street was created as part of as old subdivision,
therefore it the potential exists for further
expansion. No wetland will be impacted.
20. The Planning Board has determine that due to the fact that
Booth Street was created as part of an old subdivision and
due to its location in an isolated section of North Andover,
sidewalks do not need to be constructed. However, in , lieu

expected to contribute to the town' s sidewalk fund. The
amount of contribution will be determined by the Deparment

RE: Booth St. subdivision
Date: August 27 , 1992
The fire department is opposed to the proposed subdivision as
presented. This subdivision does not comply with the Subdivision
and Control regulations in the areas which are designated for
review by the Fire Department.
Specifically, there are no provisions for fire protection, and
the roadway grade as submitted creates an access problem.
The access issue is covered in section 4 B 2 of the
regulations. The department would prefer to work with the
Department of Public Works in reaching a resolution to the steep
grade of the roadway.
Section 7 L Water Facilities (1) requires the installation of
water supply, for domestic and for fire protection for all lots.
Item 8 of that section states "Whenever public water service is
not to be installed, reservoirs for fire protection may be
required, as recommended by the Fire Chief. "
If there is no public water supply, I am recommending the
placement of these reservoirs within each proposed dwelling unit
as part of a self-contained residential sprinkler system. Those
systems to be installed in compliance with NFPA 131), 527 CMR
Mass. Fire Prevention Regulations, MGL Chapter 148 and North
Andover Fire Department requirements.
With the installation of such systems and a resolution to the
grade, the fire department would withdraw objections.
