Tel. 978.327.5215 (Direct) 978.973.9640 (Cell) SMOl� At From: John Smolak Sent: Thursday, February 1, 2024 12:40 PM To: 'Paul Hutchins' < t i r v> Subject: Eaglewood Shops - 175 Turnpiket )-- Request for Approval of New Food Use Tenant Hi Paul: As a follow-up to our discussion earlier this week, attached are the following documents: 1. Memo Requesting Approval of New Food Uses; 2. Food Uses Chart By S.F. (current and proposed); 3. Parking Allocation Table (updated January 2024); and, 4. Vanasse Parking Demand Study Memo (which updated the 2019 Parking Demand Study). Background 1. In its 2000 Amended Site Plan Decision, the Board added Condition No. 20 which states as follows: condition 6.f shall be amended to read, "if an owner, its successors or assigns, in the course of continued business operation, wishes to open a restaurant(s) that collectively exceeds 21,000 SF, the Applicant must, prior to allowing such new or expanded restaurants(s) to open for business, submit revised Plans to the North Andover Planning Director and North Andover Building Commissioner, demonstrating that adequate additional parking exists on the Site with reference to Article 8, Part 1 (Off-Street Parking and Loading) of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw as modified by the Modification of Site Plan Review Decision, dated November 24, 2020, as amended. 2. Since the proposed new restaurant named CAVA would result in the Plaza exceeding 21,000 s.f. of food use, Condition No. 20 authorizes the additional use if both the Building Commissioner and Planning Director determine that "adequate additional parking exists on the Site." 3. For this reason, we have prepared the materials above including: (a) the Memo in support of the request; (b) an updated food uses chart showing existing and proposed s.f. of food use; (c) an updated parking allocation table; and, (d) an Updated Parking Utilization Analysis prepared by Vanasse Associates. 4. The Vanasse Memo states that "Parking occupancy on a weekday was not found to exceed 32 percent in the north parking field, 53 percent in the center parking field, and 70 percent in the south parking field. Parking occupancy on a Saturday was not found to exceed 24 percent in the north parking field, 35 percent in the center parking field and 60 percent in the south parking field." https://mail.google.com/mail/u/O/?ik=7c2eff6265&view=pt&search=all&permmsgid=msg-f:1790245069985463361&simpl=msg-f:1790245069985463361 4/5 2/15/24,8:45 AM Town of North Andover Mail-FW: FW: Eaglewood Shops-175 Turnpike Street(Route 114)--Request for Approval of New Food ... 5. The Vanasse Memo also concludes that "It is apparent based on the parking demand observations and the distribution of parking within the parking fields that serve the Eaglewood Shops that the parking supply is sufficient to accommodate the current mix of retail and restaurant uses, with sufficient parking available to accommodate occupancy of the currently vacant commercial space by retail or restaurant uses." 6.Also as noted in the attached materials, there are currently 46 unused spaces due to vacancies, so at a minimum, the 42 spaces proposed for the CAVA restaurant uses is adequate to serve the parking needs, but also note that the significant underutilization of parking at the Plaza as described in the Vanasse Memo also supports a determination that "adequate additional parking exists on the "Site" to serve the proposed CAVA restaurant use. I'm happy to walk through the materials with you by phone if you'd like to do so, even before you start your review, if that would be helpful to you. Please note that Linear has executed a lease with CAVA for the proposed use, but subject to any locally required approvals. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you.
