6. . The Defendant , Hardtcourt Manor Realty Trust, made applica.t on
under the condominium conversion by-law section of the North
Andover Zoning By-Laws , viz. Section 13 thereof, seeking a
Special Permit to convert buildings at 1518 Great Pond Road into

7. The Defendant Planning Board, after publication and notice
hell a public hearing on December 20, 1982., and heard arguments

Board granted the Special Permit.
r
9. The decision of the Defendant Planning Board made no specif c
findings of fact but rather reviewed the testimony of various
parties including arguments of counsel, failed to set forth clearl
the reasons for its decision, made completely unsupportable con-
cluRions of fact and law, ineorproated matters into the decision
which were not a part thereof, was made conditional upon so many
general conditions, contingencies, future proposed work and other

RICHARD A. LEND BRIEF OF THE DEFENDANT
Plaintiff HARDTCOURT MANOR REALTY
VS . TRUST IN SUPPORT OF ITS
MOTION FOR SUMMARY
TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER JUDGMENT
e en ant
FACTS
The Plaintiff ' s have appealed pursuant to M.G.L. Chapter 40A
Section 17 the granting of a special permit to the Defendant
Hardtcourt Manor Realty Trust to convert the buildings located
at 1518 Great Pond Road, North Andover, Massachusetts in 24
condominium units . The defendant Hardtcourt Manor Realty Trust
has moved for summary judgment.
LEGAL AUTHORITY
The pertinent legal authority is attached to the Affidavit of
Mark B. Johnson. It consists of
1. Section 13 of the Town of North Andover By-Laws entitled:
"Large Estate Condominium Conversion". This section set forth
the requirements an applicant must meet in order to convert
existing dwellings on large tracts of land to single family
condominium dwellings.
2 . Section 10.31 of the Zoning By-Laws which set forth the
LAW OFFICE$ OF conditions for a special permit.

Argument
The function of the Superior Court when hearing an appeal
from the granting of a special permit was discussed in Garvey vs .
Board of Appeals of Amherst, 400 NE 2d 880 (1980) . The Appeals
Court held:
"On appeal to the Superior Court, the judge is required
to hear the matter de novo and to determine the legal
validity of the board' s docision upon the facts found
by him. (Citations omitted. ) The granting of a permit
must be upheld if it is for a use that is ' in harmony
with the general purpose and intent of the ordinance or
by law, (Citations omitted. ) and the decision does not
rest on ' a legally untenable Eround' (Citation omitted)
and is not unreasonable, whimsical or arbitrary. A Court
may not substitute its judgment for that of the board.
The test is a three part test and the plaintiff believes that it
has met each test.
a. The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent
of the by-law. There is no question that the use of the
property is in conformity with the by-laws as Section 13
explicitly authorizes such use.
b. The decision does not rest on "a legally untenable
ground" . The decision of the Board is certainly consistent
with the requirements of the by-laws and MGL Chapter 40A
Section 9. The board found that the subject property met
the requirements of Section 13 of the by-laws and of Section
LAW OFFICES OF 10,31 for the approval of the special permit.

c . The decision was not unreasonable or whimsical or arbi-
trary. It is clear that this decision was not unreasonable,
whimsical or arbitrary. It was made after a public hearing
where there was no opposition, the board imposed 12 con-
ditions which addressed the concerns of the conservation
COmmission, Fire Department, Highway Department, Board of
Public Works and Board of Health.
The sole question remaining is whether the board has complied
with the requirements of Section 10. 31 of the Zoning By-laws.
Section 10.31 provides, in pertinent partl :
10.31 Conditions for Approval of Special Permit
1 . The Special Permit Granting Authority shall not approve
any such application for a Special Permit unless it finds
that in its judgment all the following conditions are met:
a. The specific site is an appropriate location for
such a use, structure or condition;
b. The use as developed will not adversely affect the
neighborhood;
c. There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to
vehicles or pedestrians;
d• Adequate and appropriate facilities will be pro-
vided for the proper operation of the proposed use;
e. The Special Permit Granting Authority shall not grant
any Special Permit unless they made a special finding
that the use is in harmony with the general purpose and
intent of this By-.Law."

board specifically found that it complied with the requirements

The board attached a number of conditions to insure that
II adequate and appropriate facilities will be provided for and
specifically found that the use as developed will not adversely
affect the neighborhood or create a nuisance .or serve as hazzard
to vehicles or pedestrians .
Additionally, the approval of this permit carried out the
purpose set forth in Section 13.1 of the by-laws :
13 .1 Purpose
The purpose of this subsection is to permit existing dwell-
ings on large tracts of land in Residence Districts 1, 23
and 3 to be converted to single family condominium dwelling
units compatible with such Residence Districts , to create
new housing involving relatively little new construction,
to generate tax revenue to the Town, to preserve existing
buildings, to preserve the residential character of the Town.
In order to provide for development that is compatible with
Residence Districts 1 , 2, and 3, which districts are pri-
marily for single family residences , the conversions to
dwelling units under this subsection are to condominium
dwelling units, which can be separately owned, and are
therefore a type of development similar in character to
LAW OFFICES OF other development in such districts.
