Lescarbeau read the legal notices to open the public hearings on the common drive and access . The subdivision/R-6 Modification public hearing was opened at the August 6, 1996 meeting. Because the property is all in the same location, it makes sense to speak of this all together . Steve Stapinski was present and stated the proposed plan is for a common drive for lot 2M and access over lot 2M to lot 1M. Mr. Nardella asked if this was wetland and Mr . Stapinski replied in the affirmative . Mr. Simons questioned how this could be a modification when it was never in the original subdivision. Ms . Colwell stated that she understands Mr. Simons concerns, but Town Counsel stated that a land can be added to an existing subdivision either by modifying the original or by filing a new plan. In this case, because there is a 3 acre minimum in the R-6 zone and this property does not contain 3 acres it must be considered as a modification. Mr. Angles and Ms . Lescarbeau both stated that this plan is a vast improvement over the plan submitted a few months ago . Ms . Colwell stated that the Board did, in fact, review a plan for 4 lots and at that time directed the applicant to return with a 3 lot plan. The Board set the site opening bond for the Common Drive at $5, 000 . The Board set the site opening bond for Access at $5, 000 . On a motion by Ms . Lescarbeau, seconded by Mr. Angles, the Board voted unanimously to close the public hearings on: 191 Andover By-pass (Meadowood III) Common Drive. and 191 Andover By--pass (Meadowood III) Access and Meadowood III - Subdivision/R-6 modification On a motion by Mr. Nardella, seconded by Mr. Angles, the Board voted as follows to approve the draft decisions for , 191 Andover By-pass (Meadowood III) Common Drive and 191 Andover By-pass (Meadowood III) Access 2 .1 c Meadowood III- Modification Special Permit R-6 Zoning District The Planning Board herein approves this modification to the Special Permit issued on August 24, 1994 which allowed the construction of 27 single family homes on 5,000 square foot lots in the R- 6 zone. This modification allows the creation of an additional 3 lots (IM, 2M, and 3M) with frontage on the Andover By-pass (Rt. 125). No new roads will be constructed. This modification was requested by IFEllside Realty Corp., 733 Turnpike Street, Suite 311, Forth Andover, MA 01545, dated July 10, 1996 in the R-6 zone. This modification does not supersede but is in addition to the Special Permit issued for Meadowood III on August 24, 1995, FINDINGS OF FACT: The Planning Board makes the following findings as required by Section 10.31 of the zoning Bylaw: 1. The specific site is an appropriate location for 5,000 square foot lots as it is zoned R-6 and is adjacent to a subdivision with similar lot sizes. The creation of these lots is part of the overall master plan for the R.-6 zone. 2. The use as developed will not adversely affect the neighborhood as the site is adjacent to similarly sized lots. 3. There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians as there will be only two curb cuts onto the Andover By-pass. In addition to this special permit, a common driveway permit will be issued. 4. Adequate and appropriate facilities will be provided for the proper operation of the proposed use. The Planning Board also makes the specific finding that this use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent if the zoning Bylaw. The development is sufficiently advantageous to the Town and promotes the public welfare, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the Town of Forth Andover. In particular the Planning Board ands that this project will: 1. Permit greater flexibility and more diverse efficient, and economical design of residential developments; 2. Facilitate economical and efficient provision of utilities; 3. Meet the Town's housing needs by promoting different types of housing which is a benefit to the residents of North Andover; 1 a) All proposed structures are to contain residential fire sprinkler systems in conformance with the North Andover Fire Department. 7. Any action by a Town Board or Commission or Department which requires changes in the roadway alignment drainage facilities, grading or no-cut lines may subject this decision to a modification by the Planning Board. 8. The provisions of this conditional approval shall apply to and be binding upon the applicant, its employees and all successors and assigns in interest or control. 9. All construction shall commence within two (2) years from the date of this approval, h Z'ez- ? and shall be completed within five (5) years from the date of this approval If construction has not commenced or been completed in this time frame, this decision will be automatically rescinded. 10. This Special permit approval is based upon a Definitive Subdivision Conditional Approval Modification. The Special Permit and Definitive Subdivision approvals are both based upon the following information.: Plans: Modification to the Special permit and Definitive Plan Meadowood III North Andover, Mass Owner & Developer: Need to change from Quest to Hillside Realty Trust Scale: 1' = 40' Date: June 10, 1996 Prepared by: Merrimack engineering Services, Inc. 66 Park Street Andover, Massachusetts 01810 Sheets.-_1 through 4 cc.
