Site Plan Review through
Special Permit
Dear Mr. Long:
The North Andover Planning Board opened the public hearing on
Monday evening, July 6, 1987, in the Town Office Meeting Room
upon the application of Daniel J. Murphy and Jane Walsh, of
Knightbridge Partners, Inc. regarding the referenced matter. The
following members were present at the July 61 1987 meeting:
Erich Nitzsche, Chairman; John L. Simons, Clerk; Paul Hedstrom;
George Perna and John J. Burke.
The petitioner seeks a Special Permit under Section 8, Para.3,
Site Plan Review. The purpose of the Site Plan application is to
review the proposal to renovate existing offices and to construct
a 5,500 square foot, two story addition to the existing building
on a 50,000 square foot parcel of land on the south side of
89 Turnpike Street in a Business-4 (B-4) Zoning District.
John Simons read the legal notice and opened the public hearing.
Stephen Stapanski, Engineer and Frank Chaney, Arch&tect were present
along with the applicant and provided architectural and engineering
input. Prior to Mr. Stapanski ' s presentation, letters from the
Board of Health, the Conservation Commission, the Fire Department,
the Police Department and the Building Inspector were read into
the record.
The following matters were discussed:
The Northmark Bank project is proposed for development in
North Andover, Massachusetts. As indicated by the developer, the
facility would be a private financial institution serving the
needs of a select clientele. These clients would be served via
scheduled appointments only. The bank would not be used by the
general public.
Page 2:
The project site is located on Ro R
1 1b4� em Turnpike,
ro 4�
pj
approximately .2 of a mile West of the four-way signalized
intersection of Route 114 and Route jtt.3 R8gW_J!4#7is a
heavily traveled two way, two lane ar erial roa way. It extends
through the Town of North Andover in a general Northwest/Southeast
direction.
The site is occupied by a two story brick building and
paved circular driveway. The building is comprised of
approximately 3,700 square feet of general office space.
Vehicular access and egress to the building is provided by
two driveways intersecting Route 114 . These driveways are
located approximately 140 feet apart.
As shown on the site plan, the proposed development involves
the construction of a two story wood framed structure that would be
attached to the existing brick building. This addition would be
be comprised of approximately 5,500 square feet, and would be
used for general office space. The two driveways serving the
existing building would be designed for one-way traffic movement
entering and exiting the site respectively. Additional pavement
material would be used to extend the existing driveway around the
- proposed building. The new pavement area would provide parking
accommodations for 31 vehicles.
In addition, it was pointed out, by applicant' s advisors,
that lighting as proposed would not affect abutters or Route 114
and parking would be buffered by large trees and that the stone
wall would be preserved. Traffic issues were raised by the
Planning Board and by Joe D'Angelo, Danvers District of the
Mass. D.P.W. The architect said that:
1) size, scale and massing will be compatible to existing
building and be in keeping with historical character
thereof.
2) material, coloring of addition, to be compatible and
as per detail submitted to the Board.
The following members were present and voting at the
August 31 , 1987 meeting when the Board rendered its decision:
Erich W. Nitzsche, Chairman; John L. Simons, Clerk; George Perna;
John J. Burke and Paul Hedstrom.
MOTION: By Paul Hedstrom to approve conditionally per decision.
SECOND: John Simons
VOTE: Unanimous
To conditionally grant the application for site plan approval
under the Special Permit process for Knightbridge Partners, Inc.
subject to the following:
1) The Planning Board has determined that because the
Board of Appeals has granted to the applicant the
variances which they requested in that hearing
process, the records of which are incorparated herein
by referencing the proposed use is permitted at the
site in accordance with the Zoning Bylaw.
Page 3:
2) Applicant shall comply with the Fire Departments
recommendations of July 3, 1987 and the concerns
raised by the Police Department as set forth in
correspondence of June 23, 1987 shall also be satisfied.
3) All matters set forth in the Site Development Plan
submitted with this application and dated July, 1987
and revised August 7, 1987 by Merrimack Engineering
Services are incorporated in this approval by
reference and shall be complied with.
4) Lighting shall be indirect and non intrusive to
neighbors and Route 114.
5) The non-retail banking activity and the reduced traffic
which would be accompanied with such a use, all as
described by the applicant whould be maintained as the
Board has concerns regarding a retail traffic flow
in the subject location.
As built plans will be submitted to the Planning Board
- for approval prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit.
T& conditionally granting this Special Permit, the Planning
Board minds pursuant to the relivant bylaws the following:
00
1) The site is an appropriate location for such use.
T7, ZIm
The USE, non-retail banking and general office will
not adversely affect the neighborhood.
3) There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicle
traffic or pedestrians if the applicant abides by the
conditions of the approval.
4) Adequate and appropriate facilities for water, sewer,
parking, traffic and landscaping will be provided for
the proper operation of the proposed uses .
Based on site visits, the public hearing process, and
reviews from outside agencies, the Planning Board will permit
the proposed use to be considered in harmony with the general
purpose and intent of the Zoning Bylaw.

BOARD OF APPEALS
Knightsbridge Partners, Inc.* Petition: 80-88
800 Turnpike Street
North Andover, mA 01845 DECISION
The Board of Appeals held a public hearing on July 27, 1987 and July 31, 1987
on the application of Knightsbridge Partners, Inc. requesting a variation from the
requirements of Section 7, Paragraph 7.1, 7.3 and Table 2 of the zoning bylaws so
as to permit relief from 100 foot side and rear setbacks and from 50 .feet "green"
buffer zone and from lot area requirements. The following members were present
and voting: Frank Serio, Jr. , Chairman, Augustine Nickerson, Clerk, William
Sullivan, Walter Soule and Anna O'Connor.
The hearing was advertised in the North Andover Citizen on July 9 and July 16, 1987
and all abutters were notified by regular mail.
Attorney for the petitioner stated that they want to put an addition on to the
existing building. The addition will blend into the historic style of the brick
building there now and would not be visable from the street. The primary use of
the entire building would be for banking offices.
Upon a motion made by Anna O'Connor and seconded by Walter Soule, the Board VOTED
to GRANT the variances as requested, with the condition that green shrubbery be
put on the North side of the property. The vote was as follows: In favor, Frank
Serio, Jr. , William Sullivan, Walter Soule, and Anna O'Connor. Opposed was
Augustine Nickerson.
The Board finds that the petitioner has satisfied the provisions of Section 10,
Paragraph 10.4 of the Zoning ByLaws and the granting of these variances will not
derogate from the intent and purposes of the Zoning ByLaws nor will it adversely
affect the neighborhood.
