The Planning Board makes the following findings as required by the Rules and Regulations Governing
the Subdivision of Land:

indicated in Section 3 of the Rules and Regulations concerning the procedure for the submission of
plans.
B. The Definitive Plan adheres to all of the design standards as indicated in Section 7 of the Rules
and Regulations.
C. The Definitive Plan is in conformance with the purpose and intent of the Subdivision Control
Law.

i) The plans need to be modified to address the separation between dwellings and
utility installations. The design of utilities and location of easement lines
between Route 114 and the subdivision road should provide, the proper
separation between the utilities (sewer and water) as well as ensure that a
dwelling can never be built within ten feet of either utility.
ii) The proposed water main should be installed 10 feet right of the center line of
the subdivision road with fittings as needed to approximate that 10 feet offset
along the radius, between station 1+41 and 2+85.
iii) The catch basins on the right side of the subdivision road should be installed 14
feet off the center line of the road. This will eliminate conflict with the water

North Andover, Massachusetts, revised February, 1989 have been granted by the Planning
Board:
6
151,E a�. 4
'� ne
a) Section 7(A)(4)(a) Dead end streets: The roadway is approximately 200 feet longer
than the maximum length allowed. This waiver is granted due to the fact that this site
is surrounded by a wetland resource area and the roadway will not be extended.
b) Section 7(A)(1)(h) Center Line Radius: The center line radius of 125 feet does not
meet the regulation requirements. The site conditions and topography have essentially
determined the radius of the curve between station 1+41 and 2+85. Requiring a 150
foot radius would make it difficult to properly locate the roadway in the small upland
area available. Since Woodlea Road is a short dead-end and the radius in question is
close to an intersection, the smaller radius is not critical to the safe design of the
roadway.
a
c) Section 7(A)(2)(c)_Cul-de-sac_Turnarounds: The D.P.W. and Planning Board agree to
a reduction of the cul-de-sac paved radius to a minimum of 90 feet and construction of
a side slope steeper than 2:1 with stone rip-rap ocfly where needed to avoid grading
within the 25 foot buffer zone required by the Conservation Commission. A wooden
guard rail or landscape separation may be required.
d) These waivers have been granted in an effort to minimize the amount of cutting and
filling required on site thereby decreasing the amount of erosion and siltation on site.
15. The ut' `ties must be installed and the streets or ways constructed to binder coat by
G ao (two years from the date permit granted). If the utilities are not installed, the
streets or ways are not constructed to binder coat and an extension has not been granted by the
Planning Board by the above referenced date, this definitive subdivision approval will be
deemed to have lapsed.
This Definitive Subdivision Plan approval is based upon the approval of a Special Permit, The Special
Permit and Definitive Subdivision approvals are both based upon the following information: which are

basin or stone bound position.
h) The Planning Board reserves the right to review the site after construction is complete
and require additional site screening as it deems necessary and reasonable.
4. Prior to the final release of security retained for the site by the Town, the following shall be
completed by the applicant:
a) An as-built plan and profile of the site shall be submitted for review and approval.
5
b) The applicant shall petition Town Meeting for public acceptance of the street. Prior to
submitting a warrant for such petition the applicant shall review the subdivision and all
remaining work with the Town Planner and Department of Public Works. The
Planning Board shall hold a portion of the subdivision bond for continued maintenance
and operations until such time as Town Meeting has accepted (or rejected in favor of
private ownership) the roadways. It shall be the developer's responsibility to insure that
all proper easements have been recorded at the Registry of Deeds.
c) The Town Planner shall ensure that all Planning, Conservation Commission, Board of
Health and Division of Public Works requirements are satisfied and that construction
was in strict compliance with all approved plans and conditions.
5. The following requirements of the Division of Public Works must be adhered to:
6. The sewer extension for the subdivision will be subject to the policies of the Division of Public
Works regarding the mitigation of groundwater infiltration into the existing sewers.
7. The Town Planner will review any signs utilized for this project. The applicant must obtain a
sign permit as required by Section 6 of the Bylaw. The Planning Board shall approve any
entrance structures. Any lighting used for the entrance signs must be removed prior to
acceptance.of the subdivision by the Town.
8. The applicant shall adhere to the following requirements of the Fire Department:
a) Open burning is allowed by permit only after consultation with the Fire Department.
b) Underground fuel storage will be allowed in conformance with the Town Bylaws and
State Statute and only with the review and approval of the Fire Department and
Conservation Commission.
9. There shall be no burying or dumping of construction material on site.
10. The location of any stump dumps on site must be pre-approved by the Planning Board.
11. The contractor shall contact Dig Safe at least 72 hours prior to commencing any excavation.
12. Gas, Telephone, Cable, and Electric utilities shall be installed as specified by the respective
utility companies.
13. Any action by a Town Board, Commission, or Department which requires changes in the
roadway alignment, placement of any easements or utilities, drainage facilities, grading or no
cut lines, may be subject to modification by the Planning Board.
14. The following waivers from the Rules and Regulations Governing the Subdivision of Land,
North Andover, Massachusetts, revised February, 1989 have been granted by the Planning
Board:
a) Section 7 A 4 a Dead end streets: The roadway is approximately 200 feet longer
than the maximum length allowed. This waiver is granted due to the fact that this site
6
P
is surrounded by a wetland resource area and the roadway will not be extended.
b) Section 7 A 1 h Center Line Radius: The center line radius of 125 feet does not
meet the regulation requirements. The site conditions and topography have essentially
determined the radius of the curve between station 1+41 and 2+85. Requiring a 150
foot radius would make it difficult to properly locate the roadway in the small upland
area available, Since Woodlea Road is a short dead-end and the radius in question is
close to an intersection, the smaller radius is not critical to the safe design of the
roadway.
c) Section 7 A 2 c Cul-de-sac Turnarounds: The D.P.W. and Planning Board agree to
a reduction of the cul-de-sac paved radius to a minimum of 90 feet and construction of
a side slope steeper than 2:1 with stone rip-rap only where needed to avoid grading
within the 25 foot buffer zone required by the Conservation Commission. A wooden
guard rail or landscape separation may be required,
d) These waivers have been granted in an effort to minimize the amount of cutting and
filling required on site thereby decreasing the amount of.erosion and siltation on site.
15. The utilities must be installed and the streets or ways constructed to binder coat by
(two years from the date permit granted). If the utilities are not installed, the
streets or ways are not constructed to binder coat and an extension has not been granted by the
Planning Board by the above referenced date, this definitive subdivision approval will be
deemed to have lapsed.
This Definitive Subdivision Plan approval is based upon the approval of a Special Permit. The Special
Permit and Definitive Subdivision approvals are both based upon the following information: which are
