Lyons, 'Town Clerk Town Office Building North Andover, Mass. Dear Sir: As advertised in the Eagle-Tribune on August 30 and September 6, 1969, the Board of Appeals comprising Arthur R. Drummond, Chairmans, Daniel T. O'Leary, Secre*ary; Donald J. Scott, J. Philip Arsenault, Esq. and Donald J. Leonard, met in the North Andover Town Building on Monday, September 15, 1969 to consider the application of Benjamin C. Osgood requesting permission under Section 4.8 of the Zoning By—Laws so as to permit the construction of a Bath and Tennis Club on the north side of Raleigh Tavern Lane N. The facilities are to include 2 adult swimming pools, 1 children's pool, 2 tennis courts and a bath house with sun decks comprising about 6 acres. All abutters were duly notified by certified mail. Mr. Osgood explained to the Board that'?the area was Boned rural residence and said project was to service not only residents of Raleigh Tavern Estates but those of North Andover as well and expected about 150 memberships to be sold. He pointed out that a facility of this kind is not detrimental to the area in any way and would give needed relief to the already overcrowded public facilities and that all structures would be well hidden from the road so as not to detract from the residential appearance. Speaking in favor of the petition was George Farr and Sidney Coleman. Abutters speaking in opposition included George Taylor, Michael O'Keefe, Stephen Center, Roger Pelletier and others. Taken under advisement by the Board of Appeals, due deliberation was given to the request, followed by a motion by Daniel T. O'Leary, seconded by Donald J. Scott to DENY the permit. The vete was unanimous. The reasons for denying the petition are that the applicant will suffer no hardship, financial or otherwise; there would be a traffic problem that would arise on the narrow Farnum Street and other streets in the area; and the inconvenience to and the safety of all residents in the neighborhood.

LYONS a;RAugust 19, 1976 N TOWN CLEK v Raleigh Tavern Lane %gyp NURTH ANDUWER �� Realty Trust 121 Raleigh Tavern Lane Petition No, 16-'76 Mr. John J. Lyons, Town Clerk Town Office Building North Andover, Ma. Dear Sir: A public hearing was held by the Board of Appeals on August 9 1976 upon application of Raleigh Tavern Lane Realty Trust, (Laima A.' Flynn, Trustee, who requested a variation of Sec. 6.3 and Table 2 of the Zoning By-Law so as to permit a variance from the back lot line requirement as shown on a plan of land located at 121 Raleigh Tavern Lane. The following members were present and voting: Frank Serio, Jr., Chairman; Alfred E. Frizelle, Vice-Chairman; Louis DiFruscio, Clerk; James D. Noble, and Ralph R. Joyce. The hearing was advertised in the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune on July 24 & 319 1976 and all abutters were duly notified by regular mail. Table 2 requires that the rear setback be 30 feet. The rear setback of the dwelling in this case is 13.5 feet. The petitioner purchased the property with the dwelling thereon approximately a year and one-half ago. The dwelling was constructed in 1973 by a builder who,according to the petitioner, is no longer in existence. The problem was uncovered by a plot plan which was recently prepared to enable the petitioner to sell the property. The Board, upon motion by Mr. Joyce and second by Mr. Frizelle, unanimously voted to GRANT the variance. In granting the variance, the Board determined that the provi- sions of Sec. 9.5 of the By-Law had been met. The literal enforcement of this By-Law would create a substantial financial hardship to the petitioner. The alternative would be to require that the house be moved which would create a substantial hardship. The relief granted herein is granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent and purpose of the By-Law. The general make-up of the neighborhood is such that the continued existence of this ,dwelling at the location does not detract from nor create an unfavorable environment. Raleigh Tavern Lane Realty Trust Decision a_ Mr. Richard Beede, 373 Raleigh Tavern Lane, voice questions and comments at the hearing relative to the requested variance.

The results of the percolation tests indicate that the drainage properties of the majority of areas tested would be in accord with Title 5 and suitable for the subsurface disposal of sewerage. This is a preliminary study and a more detail study of each individual lot, including percolation tests and test pits must be done prior to the design of any subsurface disposal field.
