Re: Application for Special Permit: 1429 Osgood Street
General Civil Peer Review
Dear Ms. Enright:
On behalf of the Town of North Andover, TEC, Inc. reviewed documents as part of the civil engineering
peer review for the proposed project located at 1429 Osgood Street. Oliver Enterprises, Inc.,
("Applicant"�, submitted the following documents, which TEC reviewed for conformance with the Town of
North Andover Zoning Bylaws and general industry standards:
• Site Development Plans, prepared by Allen & Major Associates, Inc., dated April 12, 2018;
• Drainage Report, prepared by Allen & Major Associates, Inc., dated April 12, 2018;
Upon review of the submitted documents, TEC has compiled the following general civil comments:
1. The Applicant should coordinate with the Planning Department to determine if a Traffic Impact
Study, Fiscal Impact Study, and Community Impact study will be required as part of the project
submission and review.
2. The project proposes 85.3% of lot coverage. The maximum allowable lot coverage for Corridor
Development District 3 (CDD3) is 70%.
3. The project proposes 14.7% of open space. The minimum usable open space requirement is 30%.
4. The Off-Street Parking Summary Table indicates that the total square footage equals 21,300 SF;
however, the plans show that Tenant A building area totals 12,320 SF and Tenant B building area
equals 8,950 SF, totaling 21,270 SF. The Applicant should update the plan to show a consistent
building square footage.
5. The Off-Street Parking Summary Table indicates that a minimum of two ADA parking stalls are
required; however, only one ADA parking stall is shown on the Layout and Materials Plan.
6. The ADA parking signs shall be placed at the center edge of the ADA parking stall.
7. The Site Plan does not call for any loading areas to the building. The Applicant should clarify how
package deliveries to the building will be handled and provide a striped area for loading purposes
(12'x25' required per Zoning Bylaw).
