TOWN OF NORTH ANDOYEll MASSACHUSETTS December ~6, 1972 John J. Lyons, Town Clerk Town Office Building North Andover, Mass. Dear Sir: The following petition was heard at a meeting of the Planning Board on Wednesday evening, December 13, 1972 at 7:30 P.M. at the North Andover High School auditorium. Members present and voting were: Charles W. Trombly, Jr., Esq., Chairman; Dom~ld N. Keirstead, Vice Chairman; William Chepulis and John J. Monteiro. VINCENT P. HELFRICH and others petitioned to amend the North kudover Zoning By-Law by striking therefrom Paragraph (1~) of Section &.122, Residence & District and inserting in place thereof a new Paragraph (l&) Section &.I22 to read as shown on the attached legal notice. Also, to strike Paragraph (15) of Section &.122, Resi- dence ~ District which presently reads: "(15) Townhouses." There were approximately 60 people present at the hearing. Paul Lamprey, Phillips Court, was the principal speaker and gave several reasons why these amendments should be made. He said conversions and townhouses are presently allowed in the most densely populated parts of town and to further allow these uses would make these areas even more densely populated. Apartments had previously been voted out of the Zoning By-law and to allow this conversion section would be allowing apartments again. There are other buildings in town that could be converted the same way that Stevens Mill is requesting conversion to apartments if thiS section was allowed to stay in the By-law. The townspeople should be given the right to vote on conversions and matters of this importance rather than the power given to a Board of Appeals. Several people were heard in favor of both articles. They felt townhouses are basically apartments and would create the same problems as apartments. The petition was taken under advisemen$. At a meeting held on December 18~ 1972 at 7:15 P.M. at the North Andover High School, at which all members were present and voting: Charles W. Trombly, Jr., Chairman; Donald N. Keirstead, Vice Ch.; Fritz Ostherr, Clerk; William Chepulis and John J. Monteiro, a vote was taken on the petitions. Member Keirstead made a motion to recommend unfavorable action upon both amendments; Member Ostherr seconded the motion and the vote was ~-1t with Member Monteiro voting against the motion. The Board gave the following reasons: Vincent P. Helfrich and others December 26, 1972 By allowing for conversions and townhouses in the Zoning By-Law, the Board feels it is a good way to provide lower cost, unsubsidized housing. Conversions ~ould prevent deterioration of buildings that are unsuitable for their original use. There are enough safeguards in the By-law to properly allow these uses to remain in the Zoning By-law.

Under the aforesaid it was VOTED uNANIMOUSLY TO ADOPT SECTION COMMENTS CONCERNING WARRANT FOR SPECIAL TOWN MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 1973 ARTICLE 1. AS I had originally drafted this Article I men~ioned the sum of $8,000.00, However, the counsel with the House of Representatives sent me the Article in its present form and says this is what his office wants. He also sent me the form of bill which will be presented to the Legislature if the Article passes. The bill of course sets forth the amount in question. ARTICLE 2. This proposed amendment is specifically permitted by statute. It is pointed, at the moment, to the disposition of the extra automobile which the Board of Public Works should have traded in but did not when it acquire~ a new car. ARTICLE 3. (a) This merely establishes the new fiscal year. ~ ARTICLE ~. (b) This has to do with the term of office of the members of the Advisory Committee. ARTICLE 3. (c~ This, obviously, has to do with the term of office of Town Counsel. ARTICLE 3.. (d) This concerns the month of appointment by the Selectmen of the Inspector of Wires. ARTICLE 3. (e) This has to do with the term of office of the members of the Capital Budget Committee. ARTICLE 4. This is merely to cover the period until June 30, 1974, in most instances. However, certain appointees have two or three year terms which is why I inserted in the Article the last phrase.
