Notes:
1. A decision granting a variance or a special permit shall not be in effect until a certified copy of
the decision is recorded at the Essex County Registry of Deeds,Northern District at Applicant's
expense. Further provided that if the Property is registered land,then a certified copy of the
decision shall also be filed with the Land Court.
2. A decision granting a variance or special permit as requested by Applicant does not necessarily
ensure the granting of a building permit because Applicant must abide by all applicable local,
state, and federal building codes and regulations prior to the issuance of a building permit as
required by the Inspector of Buildings.
3. Generally, (a) if the rights authorized by a decision granting a variance are not exercised within
one (1)year of the date of the grant then such rights shall lapse and may be re-established after
notice and a new hearing pursuant to the provisions of Mass. Gen.L. ch. 40A, § 10, and(b)the
rights authorized by a decision granting a special permit shall be deemed to have lapsed after a
two (2)year period from the date of the grant unless substantial use or construction has
commenced pursuant to the provisions of Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaws Section 195-
10.7.
