The following members were present and voting: Frank Serio, Jr. , Chairman; Alfred E. Frizelle, Esq. , Vice- Chairman; Richard J. Trepanier, Esq. , Clerk; William J. Sullivan; and Augustine W.

The hearing was advertised in the North Andover Citizen on March 26 and April 2, 1981 , and all abutters were notified by regular mail. 11r. Louis P. Minicucci, Executive Director of the North Andover Housing Authority, spoke for the Authority. Also present at the hearing were Housing Authority Members James 1,1c0abe and Joseph Morkeski, as well as the Housing Authority's lawyer, Attorney Donald Smith. Mr. Minicucci 's presentation contained the same information in their letter of application to the Board, which is on file with the Board of Appeals records and with the Town Clerk. He also presented a set of sketches of the proposal. Prior to the public hearing, the Board of Appeals distributed plans of the proposal :and solicited recommendations and comments from the following departments, officials, and boards: Police Chief, Fire Chief, Board of North Andover Housing Authority Decision Petition No. 3 - 191 Page 2 April 24, 1981 Health, Highwa;,r Surveyor, Board of Public Works, Conservation Commission, Planning Board, Building Inspector, Tree Warden, and the Board of Selectmen.

Also on file with the Board of Appeals records is a letter from Elizabeth Killen, 270 Greene Street, North Andover, 11ass. , which states that she is in favor of the development. No one spoke in favor or opposition at the public hearing. Member Frizelle made a motion to continue the public hearing until Wednesday, April 22, 1981 in order to give the Board the opportunity to review and evaluate the material submitted; 1,1r. Trepanier seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous to continue the public hearing. The Board continued the hearing on April 22, 1981 at 7:30 p.m. in the Select- men's Yeeting Room. The same five voting members of the Board were present, as well as Associate Members Maurice S. Foulds and Raymond A. Vivenzio, Esq. Also present were Mr. Minicucci and Mr. Patrick Saitta, Vice-President of Charles Construction Co. , Inc. Mr. Minicucci presented to the Board copies of Memorandums of Understanding_ which were sent to the Highway Surveyor and the Fire Chief. Also presented was a letter from the Fire Chief. All corres- pondence is on file with the .Board of Appeals records. Member Frizelle made a motion to grant the Comprehensive Permit subject to the following conditions; Member Trepanier seconded the motion; and the vote was unanimous in favor of the motion. The decision of the Board is as follows: I. PRELII,4INARY STAT- UNT The North Andover Housing Authority, the "Applicant", has submitted to the Board of Appeals, the "Board", an application received by the Board on March 18, 1981 under the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 408, Sections 20-23, for a Comprehensive Permit for the construction of sixty (60) dwelling units upon land now owned by Herbert F. Hayes, located on the Westerly side of Waverly Road and the Southerly side of Greene Street, consisting of approximately 133,000 square feet. The applicant, and/or Charles Construction Co. , Inc. , or their nominee, has entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement for the premises. Charles Construction Co. , Inc. is the proposed contractor for the proposed turn key project. The Board understands that the project will ultimately be under ownership by the North Andover Housing Authority. North Andover Housing Authority Decision Petition Pio. 8 - 181 Page 3 April 2A, 1931 The dwelling units will be made available only to elderly and handicapped persons of low and moderate incomes. Construction will be subsidized by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. II. CONSISTITCY WITH LOCAL AND REGIONAL NEED Pursuant to the provisions of General Laws, Chapter 40B, Section 20, the Board must determine whether the application is consistent with the local and regional need for low and moderate income housing. The applicant has submitted evidence to the Board which shows that at present the Town of North Andover presently does not meet the criteria set forth in Section 20 of General Laws, Chapter 40B. The Board, based upon the evidence submitted by the applicant, makes the following findings; A. The number of low and moderate income housing units occupied or available for occupancy in North Andover is not in excess of ten percent of the total number of housing units reported in the 1970 decennial census or in the 1930 decennial census. Low and moderate income housing units would have to exceed 494 of 4943 housing units (1970 census) or 704 of 7040 units (1980 census) before exceedinE the maximum criterion of local need. B. The land area occupied by low and moderate income housing units in the Town of North Andover at the present time (prior to this development) does not comprise one and one-half percent or more of the total land area zoned for residential, commercial, or industrial use, excluding publicly; owned land. The total land area zoned for such use in North Andover is 17,043 acres. Approximately 4,043 acres of land are publicly owned, as defined in Section 2.0, so that 13,000 acres remain against which the one and one-half percent standard may be applied. To satisfy this criterion of local need, the land area occupied by low and moderate income housing units should comprise in excess of 200 acres. Presently, low and moderate income housing units in North Andover occupy some 43.60 acres, leaving; about 146.40 acres of land which might be developed for low and moderate income housing before the criterion would be exceeded, prior to this development. C. Approval of this application will not result in the commencement, in any one calendar year, of construction of low and moderate income housing units on sites comprising more than three tenths of one percent of land in North Andover zoned for residential, commercial, or industrial use, excluding publicly owned land, or comprising more than ten acres, whichever is greater. North Andover Housing Authority Decision Petition No. 8 '81 Page 4 April 24, 1981 III. DEVIATION FROM NORTH ANDOVER BY-LAWS AND REGULATIONS The property is located in an R-4 zoning district. The North Andover Zoning By-Law, Section 4.122 does not provide for multi-family dwellings. Pursuant to the provisions on General Laws, Chapter 40B, the Board .grants a deviation from the R-4 use requirements of the Bir-Law. Further, the Board grants the applicant permission to deviate from the dimensional requirements of an R-4 district and any other district as set forth in Section 7 or Table 2 of the Zoning By-Law and also from the provisions of Section 8 of the Zoning BY-Law applicable to off-street parking requirements subject to the condition that the proposed construction be in conformance with the plans attached to the application, dated P,?arch 18, 1981 , as amended, which are attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Board reserves the power to authorize further deviations from any North Andover By-Law or regulation if it deems such deviations to be consistent with the purpose of the application. The Board finds that the deviation from the North Andover B;;-Laws and regu- lations is necessary in light of the fact that the property is located in an R-4 district and the requirement to change said zoning district and to seek and purchase similar property in a zoning district where such a use is allowed would be inconsistent with the local and regional need for subsidized housing for the elderly and handicapped persons of low and moderate incomes and would tend to make the proposed construction uneconomical. IV. T=C^LLAN_,:OUS PROVISION - Drain , e Plans - the applicant will submit for review by the Board definitive plans specifying adequate drainage for the site, said plans to include: that the bituminous paved parkin; area, other than the 12' wide access way, would have an underground drainage system, constructed in accordance with standard North Andover Highway Standards; that the existing open ended drainage line entering the project site from Waverly Road be piped into the above mentioned drainage system; and, all drainage shall be tied into the 30" storm drain on Greene Street. - The applicant will amend the plan submitted with the March 18, 1981 applica- tion to provide a 12' wide access way to allow access around the entire project. The plan amendment is to be approved by the Board. The applicant will construct or has constructed a 12' wide access way to allow access around the entire project. The applicant will submit a final set of working~ plans prior to commenement of construction. The applicant shall use the sewer pipinC required by the North Andover Board of Public rdorks. The applicant shall construct said project in accordance with all applicable North Andover Housing Authority Decision Petition No. 8 - 181 Page 5 April 2,4, 1981 State and North Andover Rules and Re[Tulations, unless otherwise specified herein or unless otherwise provided by this Board.

The variance requested by the petitioner, North Andover Housing Authority, Politic, Inc. , a public agency, is required since the front setback is 20 feet whereas the 'Zoning By—Law requires a 30 ft. setback. The petitioner, Louis Minicucci, represent— ing the Housing Authority, stated that part of the problem results from the fact that requirements of the Federal Housing and Urban Development make it difficult to comply with the Zoning By—Law due to the unusual shape of the lot in question. The Special Permit is required since the Zone, R-5, allows a public use by special permit. The North Andover Housing Authority is such a public agency and the intended purpose is to construct public housing for the elderly. On motion made by Mr. DiFruscio, seconded by Mr. Noble it was unanimously voted to GR=1NT the variance and special permit. The Board, in granting the variance, has determined that each of the provisions of Sec. 10.4 have been met. The unusual shape of the lot creates such a hardship. Further, the Board has found that the provisions of Sec. 10.31 have been satisfied and that the use proposed is a public use within the provisions of the By—Law. The variance as granted would not be a NORTH ANDOVER HOUSING AUTHORITY DECISION —2— detriment to the public good and will not nullify nor substantially derogate from the intent and purpose of the By—Law.

This public hearing was advertised in the Eagle Tribune on Sept. 17 & 24, 1965. All abutters were duly notified by certified mail of this hearing. Atty. Ralph E. Finck represented the North Andover Housing Authority, of which the following members were also present; Stewart Wilson, Thomas Foulds, Malcolm Norwood and. James McCabe. The architect, Mr. Morrison, was also present. There were eight. other people present. The structures would be colonial type buildings. They stated this particular lot was the site preferred by the State Authority. This site would be convenient for the elderly because it is near the business district of the town, stores, buses, churches, etc. Variances are necessary as to the set-back and side— line requirements, lot size, square feet for each dwelling unit, will cover more than 30% of the lot area, etc. It would be a hardship to the elderly in town if this petition were denied, according to Atty. Finck and Housing Authority members. The abutters present just asked questions of the petitioners. There was no opposition to the petition. At a meeting held on October 13, 1965, in1!becutive session, after thorough discussion, Mr. Morton made the following motion: That the Board GRANT a variance in conformity with plans filed under Section 2.23 with the provision that Section 4.15 be strictly adhered to and under advisement, find Section 4.7 not applicable.

The following members were present and voting: Frank Serio, Jr., Chairman, Walter Soule, Clerk, Raymond Vivenzio and Louis Rissin. The hearing was advertised in the North Andover Citizen on February 27, 1991 and March 6, 1991 and all abutters were notified by regular mail.

The applicant must construct the project in accordance with all applicable State and North Andover rules and regulations unless otherwise specified here- in or unless otherwise provided by this Board. Dated this 14th day of March, 1991. Sincerely, BOARD OF APPEALS uri Frank Serio, Jr. Chairman /awt DAvis.MA.Lm &D'AoosTirrE F: ONE BOSTON PLACE BOSTON.MASSACHUSETTS 02108 (617) 369-2500 ll FEB 13 43 AIN 131 February 14, 1991 Zoning Board of Appeals Town of North Andover 120 Main Street North Andover, Massachusetts 01845 Attn: Frank Serio, Jr., Chairman Re: 22-24 Ashland Street, North Andover, Massachusetts (Petition No. 126-90) Dear Mr. Serio: On behalf of the North Andover Housing Authority, I am proposing several changes in the comprehensive permit granted by the North Andover Board of Appeals dated November 26, 1990. These changes include: (i) modification of the requirement of the fire lane on the northeasterly side of the building; and (ii) modification of the plans showing the foot print of the building being shifted 3.5 feet from the northeasterly property line. The elimination of the requirements of the paved fire lane behind the building to allow the tenants of the units to use this space as backyard area, may be accomplished by modifying the conditions to the permit as follows: 1. The privacy fence separating the backyard areas for units b and c on the northeasterly side of the building must be constructed of materials that would allow emergency vehicles to knockdown the fence during an emergency. 2. The thirteen and one-half(13.5) foot wide surface area between the building and the property line on the northeasterly side of the property shall be a stabilized surface constructed of crushed gravel subbase, eight inches deep, with two inches of top soil and grass, to allow for access by emergency vehicles. 3. The street side of the building shall have a grass area between the street and the building with a curb to allow access by emergency vehicles to the rear of the building. North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals February 14, 1991 Page 2 4. The area behind the building on the northeasterly side shall be maintained so as to allow use of the secondary access to each unit. 5. The new plans should indicate all of the above conditions. This change does not impact access by emergency vehicles to the building. A brief memorandum in support of this request is attached. The enclosed plans reflect the changes to the proposed fire lane. The plans also reflect a shift of the building's foot print three and one-half (3.5) feet from the northeasterly property line towards the southwesterly property line. This is reflected by the shift in distance between the building and the southwesterly property line from thirty (30) feet to twenty-six and one-half (26.5) feet. The three and one-half(3.5) feet difference is not shown to the rear of the building (northeasterly side) because of the extension of the stairway enclosure by two (2) feet. This extension provides better headroom on the stairs into the basement. The shift does increase the distance between the building and northeasterly property line by one and one-half(1.5) feet from twelve (12) feet to the thirteen and one-half(13.5) feet. This minor change improves safety and provides greater headroom on stairs and provides greater distance between the building and the northeasterly property line, without comprising any other planning concerns.

The following members were present and voting : Alfred E. Frizelle , Esq. , Vice Chairman, Augustine Nickerson, Clerk, William Sullivan, Walter Soule ,and Raymond Vivenzio, Associate Member. The hearing was advertised in the North Andover Citizen for two consecutive weeks and all abutters were notified by regular mail . Mr. Louis P. Minicucci , Executive Director of the North Andover Housing Authority, spoke for the Authority. Mr. Minicucci ' s presentation set forth the extent of the project on the two locations and also he presented a set of sketches and plans of the proposal . The Board of Appeals prior to the Public Hearing distributed information of the proposal and solicited recommendations and comments from the following departments , officials , and boards : Police Chief, Fire Chief, Board of Health, Highway Surveyor, Board of Public Works , Conservation Commission, Planning Board, Building Inspector, Tree Warden, and the Board of Selectmen. Replies were received from several departments, all of which are a matter of record and may be referred to in the Board of Appeals file. The Board upon a motion duly made and seconded continued the hearing to November 18, 1986, in order to give the Board the opportunity to review and evaluate the materials that had been submitted. At the continued hearing , on November 18, the same voting members of the Board were present , and Mr. Minicucci answered questions from the Board. There were no parties speaking in opposition to the petition. Upon a motion duly by Mr. Sullivan seconded by Mr. Soule the VOTE was Four in Favor of the Comprehensive Permit with Mr. Vevenzio absent, subject to the following conditions : The property on Ashland St. shall have 2 parking spaces for each unit , and further, that revised plans be submitted to the Board showing said parking area. The Board finds as follows : 1 . That the number of low and moderate income housing units occupied or available for occupancy in North Andover is not in excess of 10% of the total number of housing units reported in the 1980 decennial census. Low and moderate income housing units would have to exceed 704 of 7, 040 units , 1980 census, before exceed the maximum criteria of local need. 2. That the land area occupied by low and moderate income housing units in the town of North Andover at present time prior to this development does not comprise 1 1/2 percent or more of the total land areas zoned for residential, commercial and industrial excluding publicly owned land. 3. The total land area is zoned for such use in North Andover is 17, 043 acres. Approximately 4, 043 acres are publicly owned as defined in Section 20 so that 13, 000 acres remain against which the 1 1/2% standard may apply. To satisfy this criteria of local need, the land area occupied by low and moderate income housing units should comprise in excess of 200 acres . Presently , low and moderate income housing units in the Town of North Andover occupy approximately 6. 9 acres, leaving approximately 153. 1 acres which might be developed for low and moderate income housing before the criteria would be exceeded prior to this development. 4. Approval of this application will not result in the commencement in any one calendar year of construction of low and moderate income housing units on sites comprising more than 3/10ths of 1% of land in North Andover zoned for residential , commercial and industrial use excluding publicly owned land or comprising more than 10 acres, whichever is greater. The property in question is located in R 4 Zone on Ashland St. and a general business district of Second St. . The Board finds that the deviation from the North Andover Zoning By-Laws and Regulations is necessary in light of the fact the property is located in the aforementioned zones . Further the application of the Zoning By-Laws would be inconsistent with the local and regional need for subsidized housing for the elderly and handicapped person and of low and moderate income persons and would tend to make the proposed construction uneconomical . Miscellaneous provisions - The applicant will amend the plans to show the new parking area and such amendment is to be approved by the Board. - The applicant will submit a final set of working plans prior to commencement of construction. - The applicants will construct the project in accordance with all applicable State and North Andover rules and regulations unless otherwise specified herein or unless otherwise provided by this Board.

Therefore, the North Andover Housing Authority will submit evidence to the North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals which shows that at the present the Town of North Andover presently does not meet the criteria set forth in the general laws , Chapter 40 . Therefore , the North Andover Housing Authority submits the evidenciary material as follows: 1 . That the number of low and moderate income housing units occupied or available for occupancy in North Andover is not in excess of 10% of the total number of housing units reported in the 1980 decennial census.
