Board of Selectmen
TRANSITION: THE CHARTER, OCTOBER 1, 1986
1986 was a year of transition in North Asdover. The work of the Charter
Commission resulted in a final charter proposal that was adopted by the Town
Election in March by a vote of better than 2 to 1. That vote triggered a
nation-wide search for a Town Manager and Charter implementation effective
October 1. Shortly after Town Meeting, the Selectmen appointed a Search
Committee to screen applicants for the new manager's position. The Board owes
a debt of gratitude to Martha Larson, James Burke, Philip Busby, James Gordon ,
Mark Henry, Raymond Holland, and Willie Vicens who screened two sets of
candidates for the position. The Board interviewed three finalists from over
one hundred applicants to the first advertisement. The costly housing market
in this area discouraged out-of-state applicants, and the Board chose to
re-advertise the position. The second advertisement yielded another large
field of candidates, from which the Board selected Paul D. Sharon of Lombard,
IL. Paul arrived within two weeks of his appointment, and started on November
17, 1986. The Selectmen had some practice in operating with a Town Manager as
Ray Holland was appointed acting Town Manager in the period before Paul
Sharon's arrival; Ray exercised the Manager's authority defined by the Charter,
and the Board was relieved of many administrative matters.
WATER, WATER... BUT NOT A DROP TO DRINK
On May 1, the State Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE)
issued an order requiring that tap water be boiled for five minutes if it was
to be consumed. A test of raw water from Lake Cochichewick revealed giardia,
an intestinal parasite capable of debilitating humans. An extensive program
was initiated for daily testing throughout the water system. Chlorine levels
were adjusted at the pumping station, and eventually new ozone equipment was
installed to disinfect lake water. While giardia was never found in tap water,
additional coliform bacteria was discovered; it is believed that the changing
chlorine levels are causing erosion of the biofilm lining of pipes. The State
DEQE provided a task force, with representatives of the State Department of
Health and Federal Environmental Protection Agency, to advise on North
Andover's water problem. It was not until 1987 that the boil order was finally
lifted.
BALANCED GROWTH
The committee previously appointed by the Selectmen made proposals to the
April Town Meeting that were approved. Bylaws were amended requiring that
building lots have 75% contiguous buildable area. A land bank proposal to fund
Town aquisition of land was endorsed and filed with the Legislature. Funding
for a planning consultant was approved; subsequently, John Connery Associates
was retained, and further proposals are anticipated at the 1987 Town Meeting.
CAPITAL PROJECTS
Prior to the April Town Meeting, the Selectmen reviewed three capital
project proposals. The Board endorsed, and Town Meeting authorized, an
expansion of Stevens Memorial Library. Other proposals for a new school and
third fire station were deferred to a future year.
The Town was awarded two state grants to enhance the re-activation of the
Davis & Furber Mill site. A Community Development Action Grant (CDAG) of
$497,000 was provided for sidewalk lighting and street improvements, as well as
burying utilities underground. A $345,000 Public Works Economic Development
(PWED) Grant was made available to build an access road from Sutton Street;
this project is currently awaiting environmental revfew.
CHANGING FACES
Keith Bergman le~t his post as Executive Secretary in August to become
Town Administrator in Scituate. Although the Board regrets losing Keith, we
wish him well in his career advancement.
Paul Sharon joined us in November, having previously served as Town
Manager in Illinois, Michigan, and upstate New York. Paul is not only
well-qualified, but enthusiastic about being North Andover's ~irst Town Manager
and building the new governmental structure. His interaction with Town
departments ~orecast a bright ~uture, with mutual respect. It is interesting
to note that the outstanding financial issues and water crisis were resolved in
his ~irst two months here.
Chief Edward Sullivan retired from the police Department in December a~ter
a 27-year career on the ~orce. Lt. Richard Stanley was appointed acting chie~
until a Civil Service test provides a list o~ qualified permanent appointees.
Public Works Superintendent Joseph Borgesi resigned in December to enter
private engineering practice. Town Manager Paul Sharon reassigned
responsibilities, making Bud Cyr supervisor o~ public works crews as well as
highways, and expanding the responsibility o~ Leo La~ond to include parks and
playgrounds. Engineer William Hmurciak is overseeing water works operation and
public works administration.
The Personnel Board and Fire Department Board o~ Engineers disbanded
according to the Charter. We are grateful ~or the past e~orts o~ these
citizen volunteers and their help in a smooth transition to the new Charter.
· ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The Selectmen's o~ice sta~ handled with a steady stream o~ requests
during this transition year. Ann Marie Barnes, Karen Robertson, and Margorie
Helden all dealt e~ectively with the public and the board. Special
recognition is noted ~or the work o6 Catherine Hicks. In the period between
the departure o~ the Executive Secretary and the arrival o~ the Town Manager,
Cathy served as a one-woman clearing house ~or Selectmen's office business.

Advisory Board
The Advisory Board is made up of nine North Andover residents appointed bv
th(~ Town Moderator. We serve without compensation for three-year overlapping
terms and cannot hold any other concurrent elected or appointed Town office.
The 1910 State Legislature required the establishment of finance committees,
such as the Advisory Board for all cities and towns. Our existance has been
continued and further defined by both the Town Bylaws and the new Town Charter.
We are representative of the electorate as to the diversity of ages,
occupations, backgrounds and interests and function in a non-political
citizen's monitoring and advisory capacity. We examine in detail all matters
of finance or business included within the budgets and articles of any warrant
for a Town Meeting. During the course of our deliberations, we meet
approximately sixty times and often attend meetings of other Town committees
and boards. In preparation for the Annual Town Meeting, a report containing
written recommendations on the proposed budgets and articles is mailed to all
registered voters.
By Town Meeting vote, the Advisory Board is charged with distribution of
an omnibus emergency fund called the "Reserve Fund". The amount of $210,703
was transferred from the Assessors Overlay Reserve Account to cover "unforeseen
or extraordinary" expenses.
In addition, during the past year the Advisory Board was involved in
implementing a study by the Massachusetts Municipal Association for utilization
of computer technology in the integration and day-to-day business operations of
the general government and school department. This study was jointly funded by
an Incentive Aid Grant awarded by the Massachusetts Executive Office of
Communities and Development and by funds from the Advisory Board expense
budget.
Separate from the M.M.A. study, the Advisory Board contracted with C.F.I,
Inc. (Computerized Financial Information) to computerize the budgetary process.
On November 1, 1985, department heads and representatives of the various Town
boards were each given a budget package that included a complete listing of
personnel and salaries, a copy of the departmental line-item budget as approved
at the prior year's Town Meeting, and instructions as to the kinds of
information we were requesting on all budgets and special articles. This was
the first attempt to formalize and standardize in booklet form the entire
Town's operating budget. Copies of this booklet were made available to the
public at both the Stevens Memorial Library and the Town Clerk's office.
We wish to express our thanks to all the department heads and their staff
for their cooperation. We also wish to thank Executive Secretary Keith Bergman
and Town Treasurer James Dewhirst for providing the capital budget information
and the revenue projections. A special thanks to Cathy Hicks who skillfully
filled in as our secretary.

Appeals, Board of
The Board of Appeals had an extremely busy year with twelve regular
meetings, two special meetings, and one executive meeting.
A total of fifty-eight petitions were filed for variances, special
permits, party aggrieved, removal of conditions, and decision review. After
presentation to the Board at public hearings, thirty-nine were granted,
thirteen were denied, five were withdrawn without prejudice, and one decision
review reversed.
The majority of requests were made for setback, frontage and area
variances. Others received were for family suites, conversions to multi-family
dwellings, cutting within the Watershed District and division of land.
The Board of Appeals normally meets on the second Tuesday of the month in
the Selectmen's Meeting Room at 7:30 p.m. unless otherwise advertised.
We again want to thank Building Inspector Charles Foster for all his
assistance and cooperation, both at our meetings and on a daily basis.
Our Board regretfully accepted the resignation of Associate Member John
Simon, who is now a member of the North Andover Planning Board. We wish to
thank John for his help and cooperation during his tenure with the Board of
Apeals and also to welcome Anna O'Connor as our new Associate Member.

Civil Defense
Other than Hurricane Gloria in September, 1985, this reporting period was
inconspicuous for any significant emergencies or incidents requiring the
services of Civil Defense. The following are some of the highlights for this
period:
North Andover Civil Defense continues to enjoy eligibility for federal
matching funds for salaries and certain administrative office expenses under
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA has no surplus property
programs.
Hurricane Gloria struck on September 27, 1985. The EOC was still not
habitable to support this emergency; however, this did not decrease our
readiness posture for our communications personnel to fulfill their mission.
Our repeaterized communications equipment can be operated from home, mobile, or
other configurations. The EOC was established in the undersigned's home.
Civil Defense Area 1 Headquarters, the Selectmen, Police and Fire Chiefs, and
Town department heads were apprised of the situation. Arrangements were made
with Mr. Bernal (Superintendent of Schools) to open the Atkinson School if the
situation warranted to house people, the Merrimack College Security Chief
advised that we could also utilize the auditorium located beneath the church,
and the owner of ABC Bus Co., Mr. Balsamo, kindly offered the use of his buses
and drivers (if required) including special handicap buses. Lt. Stanley of the
local Police Department delivered a police radio to insure communications with
the Police Department. Fire Chief Dolan had taken many actions prior to the
hurricane and was well prepared to handle any contingency. All department
heads were most supportive throughout the emergency. The EOC was in radio
contact with all state and town elements during the emergency. At Police
Department request, Mr. Ernest Harvey and 5 Auxiliary police with their vehicle
assisted the regular department as required. A positive result from Hurricane
Gloria was the installation of the Civil Defense telephone in the Fire
Department dispatcher office. This insures a 24-hour answering capability in
the event of emergencies. The previous phone was located in the Town Building
and incapable of being answered when the building was closed. Some criticism
arose from this situation due to local citizens being unable to contact Civil
Defense, and Fire Chief William Dolan graciously arose to the situation and
authorized installation in the Fire Station. The Town is indeed fortunate to
enjoy the dedicated services of all the Town departments including volunteers
who actively and sincerely support Civil Defense emergency functions. I
sincerely applaud the efforts rendered by all these individuals. The new Civil
Defense telephone number available for answering on a 24-hour basis is
688-4904.
Our Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is almost ready for occupancy. A
large dehumidifier was purchased with funds made available by the Selectmen
from the Town Building fund. A large exhaust fan has been installed and an
electrical contractor replaced all faulty fluorescent lighting. All the
buckled paneling has been replaced and necessary paint being applied. Desks
and file cabinets have been purchased and when assured that the dampness and
mildew problems are resolved, the communications equipment and supporting
electronics will be installed again in the radio room. We thank the Honorable
Board of Selectmen and Building Inspector for their assistance in our achieving
these goals.
We are very pleased with our improved communications capability due to the
220 mhz repeater. We have added a phone patch capability allowing calls to be
placed within the local dialing area while in a mobile mode, as well as from
remote areas. Our reliability is good over a 24-hour period. We extend thanks
to Mr. Benjamin Farnum for allowing our repeater and antenna to be located on
his premises on Boston Hill. We continue to exercise our communications
capability on a weekly basis.
The Auxiliary Police continue to conduct vandalism patrols of all public
schools, playgrounds or any Town facilities that fall under the purview of the
Police Department. They provide crowd control for all parades and Town
functions in support of the regular department. We thank Police Chief Sullivan
and Lt. Stanley for all the support they continue to render to this group.
The following are members of the Auxiliary Police commanded by Sgt. R.
Dennis Dionne: Executive Officer Ernest Harvey, Patrolmen Carl Wagoner,
Michael J. Twomey, Jr., Hilton P. Cormey, Joseph Sullivan, Jr., Richard
Boettcher, Gregory Phair, and Eileen Burns.
The following are members of our RACES Communications group: Mr. Joseph
Sullivan, Jr., Communications Officer William Sherlock, Carleton Wilson,
Douglas Wilson, Richard Slade, Leonard Somers, Gerald Rowen, David Upton,
Joseph Demers, and Edward Adams; also, CB'ers Joseph Whitehead and Ernest
Harvey. Mr. Sullivan has conducted some classes to train individuals in
obtaining their Novice Radio Amateur licenses. Depending on local interest, he
will conduct additional classes in the future.
As usual, we are always on the lookout for recruitment of a few volunteers
with the willingness to devote their time to Civil Defense as either
communications personnel (must possess a valid FCC Radio Amateur License),
Auxiliary Police (must be over 21 years of age and pass a security
investigation conducted by the local Police Department), or Civil Defense staff
personnel. All interested applications will be given full consideration
regardless of sex, race, or creed. You may obtain information by contacting
the undersigned or members of our group.
I take this opportunity to thank the following boards or individuals for
the outstanding support rendered to our group this last year: the Honorable
Board of Selectmen, the Advisory Board, all Town department, heads and staffs,
Police Chief Edward T. Sullivan, and special thanks to Fire Chief William V.
Dolan for the excellent support he has rendered to Civil Defense, as well as
their staffs. Also, Communications Officer Joseph Sullivan, Jr. for his
constant efforts, as well as the RACES group and Sgt. R. Dennis Dionne and the
Auxiliary Police for their superior performance especially during Hurricane
Gloria. As usual, last but not least, thanks to Deputy Director John J. Lyons
for his ongoing support.

Conservation Commission
The North Andover Conservation Commission (NACC) had an active year in
fiscal year 1986. Most of our time was spent administering the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts and the Town of North Andover's Wetlands Protection Act and
Bylaws.
Other major achievements included: approval of a Land Bank proposal at
Town Meeting; our Administrator, Tracy A. Peter, has obtained state funding
from the Department of Environmental Management to update our Open-Space Plan,
in order for the Town to qualify for state funding for land acquisition as well
as the Land Banking requirements; integration of our full-time staff into the
day-to-day operations of the office; closer working relations with other Town
Boards such as the Planning Board, Balanced Growth Committee, and Board of
Selectmen.
In fiscal year 1986 the Commission held 40 meetings, received 81 Notices
of Intents, and 38 Request for Determinations; 77 Order of Conditions were
issued and numerous existing Order of Conditions were extended, Compliances
granted, and Enforcement Orders issued. In addition to the regular weekly
evening meetings, bi-weekly site visits, work sessions, Department of
Environmental Management meetings and sub-committee meetings were also
attended.

A brief update on our efforts to provide fire protection.
As a result of the 1985 Town Meeting, the Fire Department was provided
with better equipment to serve you.
The new Engine 1 has been in service since February, and we invite you to
inspect this new vehicle.
The new ambulance is also in service and by having kept the old ambulance
as an unmanned backup, the Department has a means to continue to provide
ambulance service to the Town.
The addition of a full-time Fire Prevention Officer has brought
consistency and uniformity for fire inspections and the ability to more
regularly perform fire prevention activities.
By working with the other Town boards, we have been able to adopt a fire
lane by-law and to have our recommendation for prohibition of steel underground
storage tanks in the watershed incorporated into the by-law.
The purchase of computer equipment to assist in dispatching has provided
us with a tool for accessing response information more readily.
Although the proposed site for the third station was not used, we are
pleased that we were able to spend time investigating the site and in doing the
necessary tests.
On October 12 we experienced the largest dollar loss fire at the Greater
Lawrence Sanitary District plant on Charles Street. This smokey two alarm fire
resulted in over one million dollars worth of damage to the plant and its
subsequent shutdown for several weeks. The possible exposure of the
firefighters to the toxic products involved prompted us to send ten personnel
for examinations at the local hospital. The dedication of the personnel
fighting this fire typifies the Department's attitude in handling the emergent
situations to which they respond, and we appreciate that effort.
The Fire Department is here to serve you, and we appreciate the support
you have given us to provide that service.

Greater Lawrence Sanitary District
Introduction
The Greater Lawrence Sanitary District Wastewater Treatment Facility
continued to provide service to residential, commercial, and industrial users
i~% 1985. Since its initial operation in April, 1977, the facility has treated
~almost 100 billion gallons of wastewater that was previously discharged,
untreated, into the Merrimack River. During 1985, the average flow through the
plant was 31.38 million gallons/day.
Since each community pays for their proportionate share of the District's
operating costs, it is necessary to measure the amount of wastewater from each.
In 1985, Lawrence's average daily flow amounted to 39.49%, Methuen's was
26.47%, Andover's was 20.60%, and North Andover's was 11.86%. The percentages
are used to establish the annual assessment for each community, e.g. Andover
and North Andover will pay 20.60% and 11.86% respectively for the total
operation and maintenance costs of the District for fiscal year 1987.
Operation and Maintenance
In 1985, 9,897 tons of solids were removed from the wastewater, dewatered
and incinerated to a sterile ash. The power requirements for pumping and
treating the wastes amounted to 13.7 million KWH or $827,907. The plant
effluent was treated with 157.79 tons of clorine to kill any bacteria before
discharging to the Merrimack River.
The septage handling facility continued to have an impact on water quality
in the northeast part of the state by providing an approved disposal site for
handling residential septic tank wastes. The District service area includes
septage from 75 communities. The additional waste load is assimilated into the
existing reserve capacity included in the plant. This excess capacity also
allows the District to receive wastewater sludge from the Towns of Maynard,
Billerica, Amesbury and Rockport, and the City of Gloucester. This service is
extended until these communities complete modifications of their wastewater
treatment facilities.
The monies received from septic tank pumpers and the communities of
Maynard, Billerica, Amesbury, Rockport, and Gloucester are used to reduce the
operating budget and assessment to District member communities. This is
illustrated under the section on Financial Management.
Special ProSects
The Salem tie-in proceeded smoothly during the year. The final completion
date for all four phases of the project is the spring of 1987. The project
will receive full federal and state funding, i.e., 90%. The District
communities benefit by having Salem share in the fixed operation and
maintenance costs and share in the debt service. The project represents an
achievement in cooperation between two states and five communities.
The District is currently awaiting a grant offer for the construction
phase of the biological system expansion.
The District is looking into the construction of a state-of-the-art ash
disposal facility to be located on plant property. This project is in the Step
1 Facility Plan stage of development.
Financial Management
The District continues to be successful in managing its finances to keep
the local assessments down in spite of increases in the cost of doing business.
For the seventh year in a row the approved budget is lower than the previous
year as summarized below. This is a result of maximizing the yield from
investments, energy conservation, taking in sludge and septage from outside the
District, and efficient operation. The numbers speak for themselves.
Fiscal Year 1981 - $3.42 million
Fiscal Year 1982 - $3.32 million
Fiscal Year 1983 - $3.29 million
Fiscal Year 1984 - $3.24 million
Fiscal Year 1985 - $3.23 million
Fiscal Year 1986 - $3.16 million
Fiscal Year 1987 - $3.10 million
Although it becomes increasingly difficult to keep costs down, the
District will continue to pursue this goal and rely on the resourcefulness of
its employees to accomplish it. We have been very successful to date.

Health, Board of
Aware of the changes that take place over the years in public health, the
Board of Health concentrates its efforts on carrying out its mandate to
maintain, protect, and improve the well-being of our townspeople. As an
example, this Board has continued to perform its traditional duties of
monitoring communicable diseases and providing general health services.
During October 1985, 854 people attended our flu clinic and 178 people
received free oral tissue examinations. This successful clinic has been
routinely well organized by the Board of Health staff, school nurses, and
volunteers from the senior citizens.
With a strong emphasis on environmental health, the Board of Health has
become involved with a new sewerage line on Great Pond Road and the very
emotional issue of the Town's drinking water. In March of 1986, we conducted a
special meeting to involve all parties affected by a new sewer line on Great
Pond Road. Representatives from Brooks School, Colonnade Condominiums, Flowage
Inc., Campion Hall Homes, and numerous homes along Great Pond Road met and
discussed a sewage tie-in within this very sensitive area of Lake Cochichewick
watershed. In the future, it is this Board's concern that more sewer projects
be planned and built within lake watershed.
During May, 1986, the Mass. D.E.Q.E. instituted a boil order on the Town's
drinking water due to the detection of a protozoan, Giardia Lamblia, in Lake
Cochichewick. Residents of the Town were required to boil water for five
minutes before drinking or cooking. The condition of the Town's water supply
has been one of the Board's primary concerns during the past year. Septic
systems within the lake watershed have been a major concern. In July
corrective measures were taken which will hopefully have a positive impact on
the lake. An intern was hired to work full time during the summer to check
septic systems within the lake's watershed. Data is being analyzed and
townpeople with failed systems will be required to correct their problems. It
is our intention that spetic system design requirements within the watershed
continue to be strict and closely monitored by our Sanitary Engineer.
The Stevens Pond swimming facility became a sensitive and widely-debated
issue. On July 7, 1986, Stevens Pond was tested for Giardia Lamblia and since
it is "down stream" from the lake, the swimming facility was closed and opened
twice due to the presence of Giardia. After consulting with many local and
state health officials, it was voted to allow bathers to use the Stevens Pond
facility with restrictions.
From a statistical standpoint, the Board of Health provided the following
services: 164 percolation tests on house lots for subsurface disposal systems
and 176 permits to have a septic tank for each lot. Installation permits were
issued to 135 house lots.
The Board issued 63 food service permits and 32 retail food permits for
stores and home kitchens. Periodic inspections of all the food establishments
holding these permits are done by one part-time sanitarian, who in addition
must make inspections and certify 15 semi-public swimming pools and 2 summer
recreation camps. Because this sanitarian is part time, much of the
responsibility for dealing with emergency situations and citizen complaints
falls on the members of the Board.
Total expenditures of the Board of Health for the 1985-1986 period were
$59,600 of which $24,600 was returned to the Town Treasury from fees collected
and services.

Guard Rails
Installed approximately 900 L.F. of new steel beam guard rail on Great
Pond Road near Flats Bridge. This replaced the damaged and antiquated post and
cable that was there.
Drainage
New drainage was installed on Mablin Avenue, Salem Street by Dan Connors,
Greenhill Avenue, Wood Lane, Brentwood Circle, Great Pond Road by the golf
course, Great Pond Road, Marbleridge Road. Drainage improvements were made on
East Davis Street. New drainage was also installed at the Old Center parking
lot.
Street Oiled
The following streets were sealed with oil: Bradford Street, Barker
Street, Chadwick Street, Prospect Street, Upland Street, Su~mit Street,
Thorndike Road, Stevens Street, Pleasant Street, Lacy Street, Forest Street,
Ingalls Street, Farnum Street, Beacon Hill Boulevard, Bay State Road, Glencrest
Road, South Bradford Street, Concord Street, Lexington Street, Bunkerhill
Street, Camden Street, Princeton Street, Davis Street, Allen Street, Bradford
Street (portion).
Road Reconstruction & Improvements
Gravel base and hottopped: Brentwood Circle, Ferncroft Circle, Summer
Street, Foster Street, High Street (Sutton Street to Water Street), Sutton
Street (Surrey Drive to High Street), Marbleridge Road (Old Dale Street to
Great Pond Road), Appleton Street, Campbell Road, Great Pond Road (Flats Bridge
to Campion Hall), Salem Street (Cemetary Hill to Summer Street), Ash Street,
Second Street (Maple Avenue to Waverley Road), Union Street, Clarendon Street,
Stevens Street (Great Pond Road to Salem Street).
Old Center Parking Lot
A new parking lot was built at the Old Center. Drainage was installed in
the parking lot and also a new two-foot R.C.P pipe that runs from the brook in
the rear of the parking lot through the Old Center.
Downtown Parking Lot
A new parking lot with a forty car capacity was built adjacent to the
municipal parking lot in the rear of the Town Hall. It took approximately
9,000 yards of fill to this area. This project was done without the use of any
appropriated monies from Town Meeting. The fill was obtained at no charge.
The pipe for drainage, granite curbing, and guard rail was either surplus
material we had on hand or materials that we had given to us by the State
D.P.W. The only cost was the use of the Highway Department equipment and
personnel.
Sidewalks
New sidewalks were installed on Pleasant Street from Davis Street to
Clarendon Street, Clarendon Street, Stevens Street from Great Pond Road to
Selem Street, Chestnut Street from Rt. 114 to Marion Drive. Also at the Old
Center.
Overlaid sidewalks were installed on Jefferson Street, Kingston Street,
High Street, Lincoln Street, Pleasant Street (Davis Street to Rte. 125), Salem
Street from Old Center to Old Dale Street.
Approximately 1,400 catch basins were cleaned by machine and 475 by hand
between the months of April and May.
Bulk leave pickup was 'provided during the last two weeks of October into
November.
Snow fencing was put at various locations throughout Town.
Due to the increase of growth in our rural areas, we have added an
additional trash truck to our Wednesday route. We now have three trucks out on
Wednesday and Thursday routes. This increase in our rubbish department is
putting a strain on our general maintenance section. It will be difficult to
continue to provide all services which we have been accustom to without
additional personnel being added to this department.
I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the Highway Department
and the Town boards and departments for their cooperation throughout the past
year, and I would like to thank the people of North Andover for the privilege
of serving as your Highway Surveyor.

Historical Commission
The Historical Commission finished the reorganization of the Historical
Inventory Forms. We are now in the process of targeting the Great Pond Road
and lake area for missing information in order to finish the forms.
The Commission received requests from the Selectmen in regard to the old
Burial Grounds in the Town and the establishment of a Local Historical District
in the Old Center.
We also had the pleasure of being part of the rededication of the
Kittredge Monument in the Old Center. The rededication was for the purpose of
including the name of Miss Edwina Kittredge to the monument, the last in a long
line of distinguished doctors from the Kittredge family.

Housing Authority
As Executive Director, I am pleased to submit, on behalf of the North
Andover Housing Authority Board of Commissioners and its Chairwoman, Anna P.
O'Connor, the Authority's 37th annual report for fiscal year ending September
30, 1986. This report has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 12lB of the
General Laws of Massachusetts, which governs housing authorities.
During the year, the Authority has assisted and provided low-rent,
subsidized units for approximately 400 citizens of our Town. These low-rent
units are distributed in six developments, which consist of 239 units of
elderly and 24 units of veteran's housing. As well as our publicly-owned
apartments, the Authority also administers, through the use of federal and
state funds, 2 rental subsidy programs. These programs subsidize tenants in
existing housing that is funded pursuant to Section 8 of the united States
Housing Act of 1937 and Chapter 707 of the Statutes of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. Annual Contribution Contracts have been executed with the
Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts. These programs are designed to provide subsidies for housing
to eligible moderate- and low-income families, as well as to elderly
individuals. The goal of the programs is to coordinate both the private and
public sector for the purpose of meeting the housing needs of our community.
It offers North Andover resident families, in need of housing or housing
assistance, a choice of residence among virtually every apartment that
qualifies within the Housing Code Guidelines and Fair Market Rental guidelines.
The success of this program is greatly dependent upon the support of our local
landlords, whom I am pleased to report, have been very cooperative.
This past year, the Housing Authority was successful in receiving 36
additional units of housing. This housing award consists of a combination of 6
units of family housing, 10 units of congregate elderly housing, and 20 units
of conventional elderly housing for a total grant award of approximately 1.7
million dollars.
Congregate housing differs greatly from the conventional elderly housing
that the Housing Authority has been accustomed to administering in the past.
The Authority is one of the first in the Merrimack Valley to undertake this
concept of housing. The Authority intends to utilize this concept to provide
housing for those frail elderly who are unable to totally live independently,
and customarily would have no alternative but to seek nursing home care,
although they would not be in need of full nursing care. The congregate
housing concept will be designed to allow private bedrooms and bathrooms, but
shared common facilities such as living room, dining room, and kitchen. The
Housing Authority will be contracting with Elder Services of the Merrimack
Valley to provide supportive services on a regular and routine basis. The
services that the Authority anticipates providing are meal preparation,
shopping, light housekeeping, and nursing care on a regular but non-routine
basis. This concept has worked extremely well in the past in other parts of
the country, and we are quite confident that the program will be very
successful here in North Andover.
Additionally, North Andover will be constructing 6 family housing units
for young families starting out. This development will consist of a small
6-unit complex, basically consisting of an average of 3 bedroom units.
Eligibility for this program will be similar to that of the current Veteran's
Housing project and will be in accordance with the state guidelines. The site
for this development has been acquired. It is located on Ashland Street and
will incorporate the use of an existing 4-family house. An additional 2 units
will be built.
Lastly, the 20 units of conventional elderly housing will be constructed
in a manner similar to our other state-funded units. They will contain a
combination living room/kitchen, a bedroom and private bath, for a total of
approximately 500 sq. ft. of living space per unit. Eligibility for this
state-funded project will be the same as for those of other state-funded
projects. Site selection for our elderly complex has been completed with the
acquisition of a 30,000 sq. ft. parcel of land located on Second Street and
School Street referred to J.J. Flynn's Garage. The design is nearing
completion and the preliminary processes are under way.
For the reader's review, the Authority is listing eligibility for both our
federal, state, and subsidized housing programs in accordance with the
following chart:

housing programs, and in our continuous efforts to provide adequate housing for
all residents of our community.

Planning Board
The North Andover Planning Board continued its active pace by spending
many long hours in the Town Office Meeting Room reviewing residential and
industrial Preliminary and Definitive Subdivision Plans, Commercial Site Plan
Review Projects, Common Driveway and Watershed Special Permits, and zoning
amendments. In order to meet the increased workload, the Board conducted 34
public meeting~, in addition the required site visits pertaining to the
subdivision proposals and regular inspections.
Of the 34 Planning Board Meetings, 72 individual formal public hearings
were cosducted compared to 61 in F¥85. Nine (9) Definitive Subdivision plans
were reviewed and discussed at great lengths. Of those Definitive plans, two
(2) were disapproved and seven (7) conditionally approved, thus creating 157
new lots on proposed roadways. A record 103 'Approval Not Required' Form A
Plans were submitted creating an additional 98 lots on existing public ways,
totalling 255 new lots eligible for building. The Osgood Mill Project, a ]88
unit residential condiminium complex was approved as a Planned Development
District behind Town Hall in the old Kenics Building. Fifteen (15) Preliminary
Subdivision Plans were submitted to the Board for consideration with eight (8)
proposals receiving disapprovals, one withdrawal, and the remaininq
conditionally approved.
The 1986 Annual Town Meeting considered twenty (20) zoning related warrant
articles. The Planning Board unanimously supported the Land Bank Legislation,
and sponsored the 1) Phased Development Bylaw which limits the number of lots
in a subdivision to be development over a minimum number of years, and; 2) 75%
Contiguous Buildable Area lot requirement which limits the amount of wetland
(25%) that can be included in any lot area calculations for new created
buildable lots.
The Planning Board continues to be staffed bv a full-time Town Planner and
Secretary, in addition to the new Assistant Planner position approved at Town
Meeting and funded commencing FY87.
Kudos should go the Planning Board member John A. James, Jr. whose term
expired in March ]986. The Board welcomes our newest member John L. Simons who
was elected at the last Town Election. We would also like to extend our
sincere thanks to the individual Town Boards, Departments and Committees for
their efforts in working closely with the planning Board on p!ann~ng related
issues.
Our meetings are scheduled for the first and third Monday evenings of the
month and are open to the public. All interested citizens are invited to
attend.

There were installed in 1985 - 1986, either wholly or partially, 442 new
water services. The new and renewed water services equalled 352.6 miles of
type "K" copper service pipe. 236 new meters were installed, 45 old meters
were repaired, and 12 fire hydrants broken off by a car were replaced. All
hydrants were inspected, repaired, and painted where necessary. The annual
inspection of the 2,200 gate valves and valve boxes in the system was
completed.
Fluoridation has been continually maintained by the Public Works
Department and levels monitored by both ourselves and the State Department of
Environmental Engineering.
Construction was completed on the two new three-and-one-half-million
gallon in-ground storage reservoirs on Town Farm Hill by George Cairns and
Sons, the low bidder, in December, 1985.
The old 6" water main on Chestnut Street from Blueberry Hill Lane to Mill
Road was replaced with 4,450 feet of 8" ductile iron cement-lined pipe and
1,550 feet of 1" pipe was installed on Mill Road by J. Tropeano & Sons as part
of the Town's distribution system rehabilitation program.
Check valves between the public water supply and other sources of supply
for industrial and commercial uses have been made in cooperation with the
Department of Environmental Engineering.
By-weekly bacterial examinations~ of the water supplied to the Town were
made by this department at our water testing laboratory.
The driveway and parking lot at the Atkinson School was prepared, and a
finish coat of hottop was applied.
6 sewer connections totalling 472 feet were laid between buildings and
main sewers. Cleaned were 55 sewers, most of them blocked with roots. All
main sewers were inspected, cleaned, and flushed in the spring as usual with
the flexible seweroder.

maintained at the new High School. The High School, Thomson, Kittredge,
Franklin, Atkinson, and the Middle School grounds and athletic fields were
fertilized, mowed, and maintained as usual. The football bleachers at the
Middle School were repaired and repaced where required and also painted. A
chain-link fence was installed around the outside of the new track at the Alvah
Hayes Stadium. Snow pipes were placed along driveways at all the schools to
prevent snow vehicles from damaging turf areas.
Sewer Department
The North Andover sewerage system is designed to flow in three divisions:
the east side drainage area with its trunk sewer following Lake Cochichewick to
the Merrimack River; the west side drainage area with its trunk on
Massachusetts Avenue and Waverley Road and along the Shawsheen River to the
Merrimack River; and the central drainage area bounded by Waverley Road,
Middlesex Street, and Water Street with trunk sewer on Waverley Road, Water
Street, and Main Street to the Merrimack River by way of the Greater Lawrence
Sewerage Treatment Plant.
The cooperation of all other departments is gratefully acknowledged with
particular thanks to the Tree Warden, Leo Lafond and Highway Surveyor, William
A. Cyr.

Recreation Department
1986 was the 40th year of organized playground activities in the Town of
North Andover. We once again started the year off with our skating program at
Brooks School. Skating was held every Sunday evening during November,
December, January, and February for 2 hours. Once again this proved to be a
popular program. We expanded our program to include afternoon programs (fun &
games) for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders. This program was held at the North
Andover Community Center 3 afternoons a week. It included indoor soccer,
basketball, and floor hockey. A basketball program was held for girls and boys
in grades 2, 3, & 4 every Saturday morning. This program was also held at the
Community Center. Both programs were very well attended.
We made a drastic change in our 8-week summer program. We increased the
hours of the program from 4 to 6 hours 5 days a week. We also ran the programs
from just 3 playgrounds: the Carl Thomas, the Middle School and the Drummond.
We had many comments about the new program, most of them being positive. A
full range of programs were held at all the playgrounds: arts & crafts,
sports, cookouts, ice cream days, miniature golf, and the highlight of the
summe£ was the trip to Water Country in New Hampshire. The children had a full
day of water slides and the wave pool. We will return to Water Country again.
Special events were held on the Common and at the Community Center.
Our evening programs included the girls softball league, womens softball,
mens softball, and pony league baseball for boys 13 to 16 years of age. Once
again James McAloon was in charge of the girls softball league, and Paul
Theberge was in charge of the pony league. Both gentlemen put alot of time and
effort into the leagues.
Our concerts on the Common were increased to 8. They were well attended,
and we certainly plan to have them again in 1987. They are sponsored in part
by funds received from the Council on Arts, the Musicians Union, and merchants.
We ran our special needs program once again. This playground was run out
of the Community Center. They were included in the trips with the playgrounds,
and the children had a fun summer.
I would like to thank the North Andover Fire Department, Police
Department, Buddy Cyr, Leo Lafond, and Joe Borgesi for their help during the
year. Also the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, the North Andover Citizen, and Radio
Station W.C.C.M for their help during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Dear Neighbors,
This past year has presented significant milestones for the School Committee. It has been
active in establishing educational policy that will have progressive benefit for the children and
citizens of North Andover. First among them has been the active recognition of and support for the
School budget. Town meeting has realized that our schools need and deserve its financial support.
Yet, in this past fiscal year, our per pupil average cost of education was below 85% of the State
average. The School Committee will require your continued support so that we may provide the
resources and programs our children require.
After two years of planning and review of facilities, educational specifications and
elementary pupil growth, the Committee recommends that we build a new elementary school. It is our
desire to provide equity of opportunity and facility to all our students, and we will work coopera-
tively with the School Building Committee to accomplish this task.
The School Committee actively supported the establishment of the new Charter and is
committed to working jointly with the new Town Manager to ensure its success.
The School Committee, lastly, established an Early Childhood Center. The concept of pro-
viding education based on developmental need and age has been highly successful, and our program has
been a model throughout the State.
Several personnel matters require reporting. High School Principal Daniel Desmond was
honored as "Principal of the Year" in the State. Congratulations! We have unfortunately lost to
retirement our first Assistant Superintendent, Mr. Henry Shelley, who capably served our community
for thirty-eight years. He has been ably succeeded by Mr. Edward Martin.
Dr. Leslie C. Bernal, Superintendent of Schools, has resigned this past year. His leader-
ship and dedication was principally responsible for the progress we have made. His stewardship of
your school system was exemplary during his term of nearly five years. We are sorry to have lost
his vision, guidance, insight and friendship.
After a planned and professional search, the School Committee was proud to have appointed
Dr. George I. Blaisdell as Superintendent of Schools. He has the professional experience and per-
sonal dedication to continue the progress we have made together.
The Committee wishes to note that it has changed its term of office for Chairman to coincide
with the fiscal year. Mr. Robert Mascola performed his duties as Chairman with high skill and
earned the sincere appreciation of his leadership by the entire Committee.
Finally, it is our pleasure to underscore the ability and commitment of our entire staff.
They are truly our greatest resource and the foundation of our school system. Working in concert
with the hundreds of volunteers and thousands of interested parents and citizens, it is their and
our privilege to have served you--our friends and neighbors. We are all grateful for the challenge
and opportunity.
Sincerely,
Mark S. DiSalvo, Chairman
John J. Gaffny III

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
It is my pleasure to present this Annual Report which was developed from material provided by
the Building Principals and Program Directors and then organized and edited by Mr. Edward Martin,
Assistant Superintendent. A special thanks goes to the fine staff of the North Andover schools who
have performed in a most professional manner throughout the school year, to the strong student body
of the schools who work each year to acquire an education, and to all of those who have contributed
support to the efforts of the school to provide a quality education.
Enrollment
Enrollment figures for October 1, 1985, compared with statistics for October 1, 1984, showed a
decrease of 18 students overall. The elementary schools increased 14 pupils; the middle school de-
creased 65 students; the high school increased 33 students.
Although it appears as if the school enrollment may be leveling off or decreasing slightly, this
perception is deceptive due to two factors. First, during this (1986-1987) school year, the enroll-
ment entrance age was changed from December 30th to September 1, therefore, decreasing by 75 or so
students those who would enter the public schools in kindergarten in September, 1986. Secondly, an
Early Childhood Center has been established where youngsters are placed according to developmental
readiness. Some children could receive an additional year of early childhood education, thereby de-
laying their entrance to first grade. In reviewing enrollment statistics it continues to appear that
there will be a significant increase in the elementary school population within the next five years.
As a result of the anticipated growth in the school district, the School Committee established
an Early Childhood Center at the Bradstreet School in September, 1985, which consolidated all kinder-
garten and pre-first classes throughout the district. Also, the Town established a Building Com~it-
tee to study various alternatives to the need for additional elementary school space in the future.
1985-86 Goals and Obiectives
For 1985-86, the School Committee adopted nine goals which were derived from the New England
Association of Schools and Colleges statement on standards of accreditation for quality school sys-
tems. Under each of these goals were listed specific objectives to be accomplished during the 1985-
86 school year. Following is a shortened version of the goals and objectives adopted by the School
Committee.
1. Philosophy and Obiectives -- Schools will develop a clear statement of educational
philosophy and objectives and continue to develop organizational plans which focus
on the needs of children. Resources and facilities needed to support present and
future educa~onal programs wil'l be determined and recommended to the School Committee.
2. Community Support and Involvement -- The School Committee will establish educational
policy and provide leadership in securing community support for the educational pro-
grams. Each school should encourage students to become involved in community programs,
develop and implement a plan to design increased parent involvement and establish a
Parent Advisory Council.
3. Curriculum -- Each school shall have a curriculum that meets the individual needs of
students as well as recognizing the needs of the community. A system-wide program will
be developed to improve student studies skills and study habits. Schools should con-
tinue to develop system-wide programs in computer technology. A program will be de-
veloped to improve critical thinking and listening skills. Ail schools will continue
the development of effective chemical abuse programs.
Pupil Performance and Educational Results -- Efforts will continue to define curriculum
in all subject areas and grade levels and criteria for achievement within each level.
Student Services -- There should be the necessary resources to coordinate identifica-
tion, referral, and monitoring services for students with special needs. The school
should have available the resources necessary to provide educational and personal
counseling and a comprehensive support services program in health, food services, and
transportation. Specifically, the school system will examine alternative programs for
students unable to succeed, develop programs to address the needs of students with emo-
tional/behavioral deficits, and establish entrance and exit criteria for special educa-
tion programs.
6. Learning Media Services -- Schools will establish adequate library resources and in-
structual materials and equipment to support the educational program. Particular em-
phasis will be placed on improvements at the Middle School.
7. Staff and Administration -- All schools will develop and implement an attendance policy
that provides uniform procedures and guidelines. Programs will be developed to provide
staff members with the opportunity to pursue activities outside the classroom that
would be beneficial to the school system, including the opportunity to work on in-
service programs during the summer. Improved teacher and administration evaluation
activities and procedures will be developed and recommendations made to the School
Committee. Small grants will be offered to teachers to fund special projects.
8. School Facilities -- Work and maintenance schedules will be developed for all custo-
dians, with supervision provided for personnel who work in the evening. A revised
5-year maintenance and improvement plan will be developed.
9. School Atmosphere -- Each school will foster an atmosphere that provides the setting
for an effective education program. Specifically, each school will develop and imple-
ment a plan that makes students more aware of their responsibility for their work and
tbeir environment. Schools will initiate programs that encourage a positive climate
for students, faculty, support personnel, and administration. Efforts will be made to
develop and maintain a positive learning and teaching environment including involvement
of the staff in decision making, improved instructional strategies and student disci-
pline procedures.
Although many of these goals and objectives involve a multi-year commitment on the part of the
school system, considerable progress was made in most of the areas defined.
Programs and Activities
Following are brief highlights and statistical data in narrative form relating to programs and
student achievements. Also reflected in these activities is an attempt on the part of the staff to
work directly to accomplish the goals and objectives adopted by the School Committee for the 1985-86
school year.
I. Elementary Schools (K-5)
The Bradstreet School became the Early Childhood Center based on the philosophy of providing an
early childhood education that would focus on the developmental needs of children at these early
ages. Classes were established at the Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and Pre-First grade levels to
provide an effective and vital educational program for students. New curriculum was adopted to meet
the needs of this new program.
At all elementary schools, Parent Teacher Organizations were added to with the establishment of
School Improvement Councils and Parent Teacher Advisory Councils. These committees increased the
active involvement of parents, not only in the day-to-day activities of the school, but also in
looking at long-term plans for program development. Each School Improvement Council looked at the
needs of the schools and recommended the expenditure of funds allocated by Chapter 188.
Parents continued to volunteer to teach in the drug awareness program, Project Charlie. Also,
parents formed a School Enrichment Council which sponsors creative arts assembly programs within the
schools. Plans are under way to continue the expansion of the arts throughout the District.
A new reading program was adopted for Grades K - 6 and fully implemented in K - 2. To improve
the effectiveness of the program, all students are given periodic tests to measure how well they mas-
tered the objectives of the material taught. Each teacher receives a print-out of results for each
child and follow up suggestions to remediate specific areas of weakness.
In the area of Science, three text series were piloted resulting in the adoption of a new series
for Grades K - 5 (Merrill Accent on Science Pro~ram). This program will be implemented in Grades 4
and 5 in September, 1986, and in the rest of the grades in September, 1987. The program combines a
textbook approach along with direct hands-on experiences.
Over the past two years, the Math program has been upgraded in Grades K - 5. Along with new edi-
tions of the text, a program of unit testing was instituted. The testing enables the teacher to see
how each child is progressing and what areas require further work. At the end of the year, Math
teachers receive a comprehensive report on each child's progress.
Over the past two years, a small group of elementary teachers has researched the area of study
skills as a vital adjunct to all subject areas. They developed a guide for Grades K - 5 and will
continue to meet during the next school year with representatives from the Middle and High Schools.
Computers were purchased to establish computer areas in each of the four elementary schools.
These went into operation in the Fall of 1986.
The State Basic Skills Test is implementing a new standardized test to be administered in the
1986 school year. This ~ill imclude Reading, Math, and Writing tests in Grades 3, 6, and 9.
Audio Visual materials have been organized under the direction of Mr. Goebel and centralized at
the Atkinson School. A catalog has been produced and a procedure established whereby teachers can
preview and obtain Audio Visual materials as well as make requests for additions to the collection.
The Master Teacher, Judy Hillner, continued to develop programs of interest in all grade levels,
K - 8. This summer she worked with teachers on a project entitled, "The Voyage of the Mimi," which
simulates an ocean voyage and involves students in multi-discipline activities as well as a computer-
ized simulation.
Parents and teachers learned about an Artist-In-Residence program which they plan to implement
in the next two school years.
With the assistance of monies from Chapter 188, ten Horace Mann stipends of $2500 each were es-
tablished. These grants allow teachers to pursue many projects to improve educational programs.
II. Middle School (Grades 6 - 8)
As a result of a school-wide assessment of the overall organizational pattern of the school,, a
teaching/learning team organizational approach was implemented in September for the 1985-86 school
year. Under this plan, the academic teachers were organized into 9 teams -- three at each grade
level with each team consisting of three or four teachers. Each teaching/learning team, designated
as Red, White, and Blue, at each level, had specific students assigned to it with all ranges of
student ability on every team. Within each team, students were grouped based on two instructional
levels (grade level and accelerated) with provisions for sub-grouping within instructional levels as
necessary and appropriate. This provided for the educational needs of all students, challenging the
abilities and interests of each child while also providing opportunities for interaction of students
of varied backgrounds and capabilities. Within each team, students became well known by their
teachers and had a personal relationship with the group. Also, parent-teacher communication was in-
creased through entire teams meeting with parents.
In the area of Reading, two new programs were identified for adoption in '86-'87 for Glade 6.
These are the Houghton-Mifflin and Ginn programs. These programs were also identififed for piloting
in the 7th and 8th grades next year with possible adoption of one or both for those grades in '87-'8~
Further curriculum work in the areas of English and Science were identified for summer work.
This year marked the arrival of a full computer lab at the Middle School. Twenty-eight compu-
ters and six printers were installed in a specially constructed lab adjoining the library and cafe-
teria. Ail students in every grade participated in a structured program to introduce them to compu-
ter technology.
This year, a program was instituted whereby academic teachers sent bi-monthly academic guide
shee'ts home to parents. These outlined the curriculum to be covered during this period along with
homework expectations, long-range assignments, and grading procedures.
At all grade levels, activity periods were regularly scheduled. During these periods, students
could select from a variety of activities including band, chorus, drama, school store, yearbook, etc.
During the year, the 6th grade students participated in the New England Math League's annual
competition. The North Andover Middle School captured first place in Essex County. In addition,
one of our students obtained the highest score in New England.
A tremendous contribution is made to this school by parent volunteers. The Parent Advisory
Council instituted an annual fund-raising event and through its efforts purchased several pieces of
AV equipment and helped to fund the activities program. Also, with the assistance of PAC, parents
aided the school in a variety of areas. One significant area is the calling of homes of absentee
students on a daily basis as part of our Safety Check Program.
A School Improvement Council comprised of parents, staff, and the Principal was formed this
year. As a result of the support of this Council, several assembly programs were scheduled, the
yearbook was printed, and the first Class Night was held.
Eight students from the Middle School participated in the first Greater Lawrence Middle Level
Leadership Conference. The program involved students from the 10 schools in Greater Lawrence hous-
ing Grades 7 and 8. Also, three students participated in the Annual Heritage Day Program held this
year at the Kennedy Library.
A wide variety of field trips was made available to students this year. Included was the val-
uable program presented by the North Andover Historical Society.
Grade 6 staff sponsored a Career Day for the three sixth grade teams. Fifteen speakers from the
community participated.
Many Grade 7 students were involved in a Junior Achievement Program which involved representa-
tives from local business organizations presenting classroom programs on a regular basis.
Mr. Stanley Strom resigned as Assistant Principal at the end of the year to accept the positiom
of Principal of the Middle School in Millis, Massachusetts. Mrs. Lillian McDonald retired as Middle
School secretary at the end of the school year, after more than 20 years of devoted service. Both
of these people will be greatly missed.
Ill. High School (Grades 9 - 12)
A. Philosophy
Each department developed its own philosophy and objectives for the programs offered within the
department.
In addition, the Philosophy & Objectives of the school were reviewed and modified in prepara-
tion for self-evaluation. On June 11, 1986, the faculty and administration approved the revised
Philosophy and Objectives by unanimous vote.
B. Curriculum
The English curriculum has been improved through:
1. The reinstatement of a Reading program.
2. The introduction to word processing in the 9th and 10th grade writing program.
3. The dissemination of techniques in the improvement of writing were shared with col-
leagues by Messers DeSimone and Sanford. The result has been the implementation of
these throughout the Department.
The Foreign Language Department believes that greater articulation between the Middle and High
Schools was achieved through a full-day curriculum in-service program. The introduction of software
represents excellent support materials for all modern language offerings in the High School.
During the past year, the Science Department introduced an Advanced Placement Chemistry program
for the first time. Student participation has been enthusiastic and a much larger percentage of stu-
dents took the advanced placement examination.
Computer courses in first year algebra, general math, and calculus were included within some of
the programs in mathematics.
In Social Studies, there was further development and refinement of the intellectual skills of
reading, Writing, listening, and speaking. The development of study skills represented a major
priority within the department during the past year.
Social Studies teachers have integrated the use of the computer with their classroom activities.
New courses, Computer Accounting and Word Processing, were initiated within the Vocational
Education Department during the past year.
Nearly all our courses within the total curriculum have been reviewed, updated, and new syllabi
have been written for staff members to use as guides. Those syllabi that have not been rewritten are
in the process and will be complete prior to the scheduled evaluation. This work represents a major
undertaking by the staff.
C. Educational Media
The merging of audio visual services with our library has proved to be effective in meeting the
needs of our staff and program.
The library component of the media center has been improved through greater participation in
orientation programs, a heavy emphasis on research activities, and the high interest in the use of
computers by students in the library.
The increase and influence of-the nine student aides has been obvious. They play a greater role,
and as a result, are making it possible for the adult members of the staff to meet the demands of
our faculty and students more effectively.
This was the first year using the 3M Library security system.
D. Staff and Administration
During the past year, there has been a definite increase in the awareness of the needs of our
staff and administration. Both groups have worked very hard, through the Faculty Council, to im-
prove virtually anything that affects the welfare of students, teachers, and administrators.
The addition of an Assistant Principal has had a positive impact upon the school. There has
been greater participation by the Student Council and their enthusiasm for their responsibilities
has increased noticeably. Students are more involved in the planning and administering of their own
affairs. Certainly, the fact that our student body is now shared by two administrators rather than
one, has had a favorable influence on student behavior.
E. Community Support and Involvement
This past year, the Chorus and Band participated in fifteen community-based presentations. Ob-
viously, their work generates enthusiasm and support for these programs. Some students participated
in Forensic activities such as the Merrimack Valley Law Day program and Memorial Day programs. Two
students won competitions in these programs.
Athletic programs provide a natural avenue for community participation and Mr, Robert Licare,
Director of Athletics, and members of his coaching staff have worked very closely with community
youth organizations and area associations such as the Special Olympics.
A major effort to involve parents in the school was initiated this past year through and Advi-
sory Council. Significant attention to school problems in the area of attendance as it is affected
by family vacations and after-prom activities was addressed by this group. As in other schools, the
parent group coordinated, with students, the Teacher Appreciation Day.
The Central Office's system-wide "Newsletter" has provided an opportunity to highlight and
recognize the successes of students and teachers.
The "message board," a gift of the Class of 1985, has proved to be a popular instrument to dis-
seminate information and highlight student and teacher accomplishments.
F. Pupil_~eriormance/Educational Results
The institution of mid-year and final examination programs has had a positive impact upon stu-
dents and teachers. The additional credence given to these schedules has made students more aware
of the importance of these concluding examinations.
North Andover High students perform very well in national achievement tests. College Board ex-
aminations' results indicate that we rank favorably when compared to Massachusetts, New England, and
National scores.
Our students also continued to do well in the National Merit Scholarship Program. The follow-
lng earned recognition:
Letters of Commendation:
Wayne J. Altman
Pamela J. Beattie
Jeff Donahue
Kathleen FitzPatrick
Kirsten M. Klueber
Finalists and Merit Scholars:
Paul R. Miles
Janet O'Neil
Maureen E. Sergi
Frank A. $ibol
Karen I. Westphalen
Todd Noonan Greg Widmyer
The Final statistics on the Class of 1986 reveal that:
69% Accepted to study at a 4-year College/University
12.5% Accepted to study at a 2-year College
3% Accepted other Educational Institutions
15% Employment/Armed Forces
In closing, I wish to note Mrs. Klueber's dedicated and capable service to our school from 1966
through March of 1985 when she transferred to the Central Office. She certainly worked as an effec-
tive member of our team and her services will be missed.
IV. Special Education De?artment
Learning Centers continued at all schools. Servicing students primarily with tutorial/suppor-
tive needs, the main goal of these programs was to provide students with strategies and approaches
that would enable them to function in the mainstream. Consultation to the regular classroom teachers
was provided in terms of modification of program and specialized teaching strategies.
At the Early Childhood Center a TEAM approach to student service delivery was utilized. In ad-
dition to the regular classroom teachers, services from the learning disabilities specialist, speech
and language specialist, and guidance counselor were utilized to diagnose needs~ plan strategies, and
provide services. Many services were delivered within the classroom rather than removing students
for individual or small group instruction.
At the Middle School, use of computers for students needing basic skill development proved to be
instructionally effective and also allowed for better utilization of professional and supportive
staff, with more time on task for students. This approach will also be utilized at the elementary
schools for the 1986-87 school year.
Program descriptions for all Resource Rooms were developed, and entrance and exit criteria were
identified for each program.
Resource Rooms for the Learning Disabled population have been in existence for many years. The
addition of Borg-Warner units, for the development of language and reasoning skills helped to en-
hance the curriculum.
In-service for the provision of Occupational Therapy services was conducted at the Early Child-
hood Center. Activities that could be utilized ms part of the regular program were explored. An
occupational therapist for the 1986-87 school year has been contracted to provide diagnostic ser-
vices, instructional monitoring for aides, and direct service as needed. Physical therapy services
continue to be provided through the Collaborative, as are speech therapy services for students in
Collaborative programs. Counseling services, in addition to being provided by our own staff, were
provided by the Greater Lawrence Psychological Center.
The institution of Department Heads in the 1985-86 school year was instrumental in better pro-
gram monitoring, staff evaluation, appropriate referrals, and improved communication. The additional
clerical help in the SPED office was helpful in managing the mounds of paper work mandated by the
State.
¥. Technology
The following highlight the progress made in integrating technology into the schools in the aca-
demic year 1985-86.
A. High School
A Cogito computer system was purchased, installed, and operated in the main office allowing at-
tendance and report cards to be done in house.
A hard disk with software on college selection was added to the Guidance Department (GIS Soft-
ware).
An AT&T mini computer with eighteen terminals and four printers was purchased by the Business
Department at the High School and used for instructional purposes.
Ail department heads were provided with a computer station with printer for use by his/her
department.
Six computers and two printers were placed in the IMC for use by students during study halls,
before and after school. Software was provided and stored at the IMC desk.
A computer and modem were purchased for the IMC to provide communication with the Merrimack
Valley Library Consortium to conduct book searches for students.
The Art Department displayed many original creations using computer software to generate pic-
tures and scaled drawings.
B. Middle School
Twenty-eight computers and six printers were transported to the Middle School from the High
School and set up in a new area partitioning the cafeteria. Fans were installed to help air circula-
tion within the area.
The Special Education staff, under the direction of Blanche Campbell, successfully implemented
the CCC program using the hardware and software supplied by the Merrimack Education Center.
Chapter I utilized two Sony computers and a printer with mathematics software in their resource
room.
Software was purchased for students to use in the library to assist in doing book reports and
papers. The software helps students find appropriate books dealing with their chosen topics.
The administrative office did all grading, attendance keeping, student scheduling~ and student
biographical data using a computer modem with the Lawrence Vocational School.
Four Middle School teachers representing the Mathematics, English, Science, and Special Educa-
tion Departments are enrolled in a course called, "The Voyage of the Mimi." Sponsored by the Merri-
mack Education Center (MEC), the participants will explore a multi-media program with an inter-
disciplinary approach. ~oftware into the curriculum cf students from
C. Elementary Schools
A State grant was applied for and received for the training of elementary school staff.
Software was purchased for mathematics Grades 4 and 5 for implementation next fall. The soft-
ware will be used by fourth and fifth graders at all elementary schools next year.
Hardware, software, and necessary equipment to set up computer areas in each of the four elemen-
tary schools was purchased.
D. Channel 25

VI. Physical Education, Health and Athletics
A. Physical Education
The syllabus reco~mnends objectives, methods and materials for co-ed classes. Team sports,
individual sports, apparatus, stunts, and tumbling are followed at all levels.
A cumulative testing program (A.A.H.P.E.R.) is in full implementation for Grades 3-12; and
in Grades K-2, students are administered a standard perceptual-motor test.
Field days were conducted on the three levels.
Over 30 boys and girls, K-12, are participating in the adaptive physical education program.
Thirty Elementary students participated with area schools in a Physical Education Field Day at
the Kane School in Lawrence, sponsored by the Greater Lawrence Education Collaborative. Also, 22
High School students participated in a round robin volleyball tournament sponsored by the G.L.E.C.
B. Health Education
Primary classroom teachers are teaching Health Education a minimum of thirty minutes per week.
Physical Education teachers have been teaching health education classes one period a week for a
half year for the 4th & 5th graders, and two periods a week for a ball year for all 8th & 10th
graders.
Unit on VD and sex education:
1. Classes are co-ed in Grades 8 and 10.
The areas of venereal diseases, family life and reproduction are offered to students in
Grades 8 and 10 who have parental approval.
a. The few students who did not have parental approval were rescheduled in regular
physical education classes at no loss of grade
A state mandated postural screening program was conducted for all students in Grades 5-9.
The health education curriculum guide includes the inclusion of health topics within a compre-
hensive program extending K-10. In the 1985-86 school year, an updated scope and sequence plan in
the areas of instruction for Grades K-8 was developed, including the programs of "Project Charlie"
and "Here's Looking At You Two."
Project Cbarlie was in full implementation to all students in the N. A. Public Schools --
Grades 1, 3, 5, and some areas in Grades 6 and 7.
1. Annual Cost -- $3000, including training, expenses, and materials for 30 volunteers.
"Here's Looking At You Two" (Drug/Alcohol Program) is in full implementation in Grades K, 2, 4,
5, 8, 9, & 10.
1. Initial Cost -- $4000, including Guides and Kits (learning resources for each level).
2. Annual Cost -- Approximately $500.
C. Athletic Program
There was good participation at all levels. We had a total of 341 athletes who met the require-
ments to receive their letters, and subsequently were honored at a seasonal banqust sponsored by
Sportswagon Foundation, Inc.: Fall = 137, Winter = 112, and Spring = 92.
The program competed in 21 sports with 38 teams (Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Freshmen) playing
517 contests.
The Gymnastic Team is joining the Merrimack Valley Conference for the 1986-87 school year.
Thanks to Pepsi-Cola Bottlers, Inc., in Methuen, we were able to obtain new scoreboards for tbs
High School Field House, baseball field, and football field.
For the second year, a Coaches' Handbook was used. It includes information which serves as a
ready reference for coaches and the Athletic Director.
VII. Library Program
Following are some highlights of activities in the Middle and Elementary schools. The High
School is included elsewhere in this report.
A. Middle School
--Massachusetts Book Award-- In the 6th grade, about 15 books were nominated in June, 1985, for
best book of the year award. Ail these titles were introduced to the students, and all students who
read four or more books participated in the voting.
An up-to-date reading list of good books for 6th graders was drawn up for teachers and students.
In 7th grade, book talks and book introductions were done throughout the year with reading and
English classes,
A "reading committee" was started to encourage teachers to use the library in conjunction with
reading classes.
In Grade 8, a unit on using reference books was introduced.
Over 700 new books were added to the collection since September, 1985, including hardbacks,
perma-bounds, and some paperbacks. Very careful attention was paid to selecting books according to
curriculum needs.
B. Elementary Schools
The creation of the Early Childhood Center necessitated a major effort by the library staff to
close the Bradstreet library, redistribute that collection, and create a new library appropriate to
the kindergarten age.
Library programs and services were improved and increased this year. The library assistants
continued to do story telling, literature enrichment, and basic library skills. In addition, Pat
Collins at Thomson and Bradstreet, and Christine Shafer at Atkinson and Kittredge, held reading moti-
vation contests during February, March, and April.
April was School Library Media Month, and at the Kittredge and Atkinson Schools, 4th a,d 5th
grade students participated in a state-sponsored design-a-bookmark contest. In addition, a book re-
view contest was sponsored with 4th and 5th grade students system-wide.
PTO organizations have contributed their efforts to the libraries in their schools. Successful
book fairs were organized at both Franklin and Kittredge with the profits going towards the purchase
of library materials.
Because I was no longer responsible for the High School library, I was able to increase my 4th
and 5th grade library skills classes by one. I revised my 4th grade curriculum around a "quest"
theme where students and I spent the year seeking "the key to the library." This approach captured
the imagination and interest of the students and worked successfully in sustaining the attention of
some students who previously bad found the library "boring." The overall success of the program made
it worthy of continuation and improvement.
VIII. Business Services
A. Buses
There were two accidents during the school year. In one case, a child was struck by a pick-up
truck. The police cited the bus driver for carelessness. There was a bruised elbow, but no medical
treatment was required. In the second, the bus was struck from the rear by a car which, in turn, had
been rear-ended and pushed forward. There were no injuries.
The Bear Hill Development opened up this year, and we sent a bus through Bear Hill and Apple-
ton Street for the first time.
Long-range plans are pointed at obtaining a dedicated bus program with sufficient computer
power to run it. A higher storage capacity than we now have (most likely a hard disk) will probably
be required.
Because the Bradstreet School was made into an Early Childhood Center, we established dedica-
ted kindergarten buses for the first time. Additionally, we had the complication of extended kinder-
garten. We transported all the children through a system of transfers at the elementary schools.
There was an unusually large number of field trips this past year. We have been averaging 65
trips per year since Proposition 2½, but this past year we had 125 field trips.
There were 2,192 students riding the bus in 1985-86, an increase of 110 students over last
year's figures. They were distributed as follows:
School No. of Students
High (9-12) 518
Middle (6-8) 409
Elementary (1-5) 912
Kindergarten 254
Total Public 2,093
St. Michael's (1-8) 85
St. Michael's (K) 14
TOTAL 2,192
Buildings and Facilities
A new air-atomizing oil burner was installed in the Bradstreet School, and we switched this
building from #4 oil to #2 oil in December. The tank was cleaned at that time. These measures are
efforts to prevent heating failures.
The Bradstreet School was made into an Early Childhood Center. This building was completely
repainted and carpeting was placed in all classrooms. The playground was made over by parents, and
they installed playground equipment for the children.
The Middle School had suspended ceilings installed throughout the building and new fluores-
cent lightimg was installed.
Bleachers were repaired at both the High School Field House and the Middle School Gym.
Ail oil burners were overhauled and serviced.
A new roof was built at the Franklin School. This roof represents our first use of the
membrane-type roof as opposed to the traditional "built-up" system.
A new track was installed at the Alvah Hayes Stadium. In doing this, we changed all events to
their metric equivalents. The track is 400 meters once around and six lanes wide.
Extensive painting was done at the High School, including the administrative offices, the
field house, and academic areas.
The word processing laboratory was built at the High School in the Business Education area,
and a section of the Middle School cafeteria was partitioned and set up as a computer laboratory.
A problem in air pollution was encountered at the Middle School. After receiving complaints,
we ran air tests and found the sulfur dioxide content of the air to be at a discomfort level. We
had two different consultants look at the problem, and we took action for a short-term solution. A
long-term solution involves redesign of the exhaust system. This was completed in the fall of 1986.
Major movement of offices occurred this summer at the }~igh School. The Superintendent's staff
moved into the Guidance suite, Special Needs moved into the A.V. area, and new offices were construc~
ted for the Guidance Department.
C. Energy
Comparisons are made to a 30-year average to estimate how severe the winter was. The 30-year
average is 5621. Here are six years of averages:
Degree Variations from
Year Days 30-year Average
1985-86 5579 - 0.8%
1984-85 5546 - 1.13%
1983-84 5781 + 2.85%
1982-83 5121 ~ 8.81%
1981-82 6024 + 7,17%
1980-81 5826 + 3.65%
Note that 1982-83 was about 9% warmer than the average and that 1981-82 was 7% colder than
average. We had a 16% swing in one year. It is this uncertainty that makes the budgeting of energy
costs difficult. We have an additional variable in a floating cash price. These two variables com-
bine to render the prediction of energy costs an inexact science at best.
Oil consumption continues to show a decrease. This is because of new oil burners, new roofs,
closer attention to oil use, and a host of minor factors.
D. Food Service
1985-86 marked the second full year of operation under Richard Poutenis as Food Service
Supervisor. We are pleased to report an improving financial situation.
Balance June 30, 1982 $ 2,751.28
Balance June 30, 1983 $(4,903.08)
Balance June 30, 1984 $ 7,523.83
Balance June 30, 1985 $40,731.72
Balance June 30, 1986 $60,060.10
This is very encouraging and reflects creative techniques used by Mr. Poutenis to increase
participation and increase income. There has not been an increase in the cost to students since the
1981-82 school year. Presently, we are the lowest in the immediate area. An increase in the price
of the student lunch is inevitable, but we intend to hold off recommendation until we get in a
shrinking profit position.

To the citizens os North Andover, Massachusetts:
The trustees os the Stevens Memorial Library herewith present their 78th
report which is Sor the twelve-month period, July 1, 1985, to June 30, 1986.
To the trustees os the Stevens Memorial Library:
I hereby submit the 78th report os the director.

ILL = Inter-Library-Loan, materials we borrow Sor you Srom other

(2) Does not include exhibits, programs, story hours, re~erence
services, and in-house use.
The library circulates almost six items per person, which is above the
state average. This year we introduced the borrowing os books on cassette ~or
commuters and video cassettes Sot children. The library compute~ network has
been expanded to include eighteen valley public libraries. As some os you have
already discovered, we have ~rozen our paper card catalog and have introduced a
public computer terminal Sot locating our materials as well as those in other
libraries. Our reSerence librarians can also electronically look into the
collections at the University os Lowell and two other public library networks.
The result os all o~ this is that the residents os North Andover have access to
not only the 10 million dollar collection housed at the Stevens Memorial
Library, but also have available to them the collections os over seventy other
public and college libraries.
The meeting room, which is available Sree os charge to any non-pro~it
group, was used an average oS twenty times per month. Our passes to the Museum
os science, the Museum o~ Fine Arts, and the Museums os Natural History at
Harvard were all popular. My thanks to the North Andover Woman's Club ~or
their generous support os these passes.
Our programming in the Childrens' Room was increased to include an
a~ternoon story hour as well as a monthly special Saturday program. Adult
programs included two workshops on CPR, several investment seminars, rug and
quilting workshops and programs on antiques, interior decoration and personal
development. Thanks to our generous local artists, we were able to change our
diSplays every month. Through the help o~ the North Andover Arts Council, we
were again able to award prizes ~or our top local artists as well as purchase
three original watercolors and new listening equipment ~or the Childrens' Room.
53
I would like to express my thanks to the many volunteers, contributing
exhibitors, and sta~¢ Sor making ¢iscal 1986 our most successCul year.
Russell J. Reeve, Director
During the year, the Board continued to guide the investments and
expenditures o¢ endowed Sunds and oversee the upkeep os the library. This
year, the library installed a book theCt security system and storm windows in
the Rotunda Room. The security system was approved by Town Meeting action this
past year, and the storm windows were Cunded through the use o¢ endowment and
state energy grant monies.
The most important decision the Board made this past year was to remain in
the existing building and to seek ~unds ~rom the town and the state to build an
addition. We would like to thank the public ~or their overwhelming response to
our survey and their unanimous support at this last Town Meeting. We would
also like to express our thanks to AT&T ~or their generous donation which
enabled us to hire an architectural consultant. The Trustees hope to have
grant approval ~rom the state before this coming Town Meeting. Your strong and
continued support o~ library services is greatly appreciated.
The Board os Trustees would like to note the addition os Arthur Larson to
the Board. We would also like to extend our thanks to the library sta~ ~or a.
job well done.

Tree Department
The highlight of 1985 was the arrival of Hurricane "Gloria" on September
27. A total of 104 storm-damaged trees were removed by the department and
assistance was also given by the Highway and Public Works Departments. The use
of the Highway Department brush chipper, along with our own department chipper,
aided greatly in the cleanup as brush was our biggest problem. This hurricane
was notable in that no utility poles were downed and that there were very few
trees blocking Town roads. The fact that there were no heavy rains preceding
the hurricane which would have softened the ground kept tree loss to a minimum.
The maintenance of our public shade trees under Chapter 87 of the General
Laws and a limited insect pest control program under Chapter 132 of the General
Laws was carried out by this department. Routine preventative maintenance was
performed on both diseased elms and maples in addition to other requests such
as removing low limbs, tree planting, and brush cutting operations. An
unusually wet spring resulted in a heavy growth of underbrush along Town roads
which necessitated extensive brush cutting. Spraying operations were kept to a
minimum and insect pest problems to our area were insignificant.
Respectfully submitted,
Leo E. Lafond, Tree Warden &
Supt. of Insect Pest Control

"4° 2
Phased Development Bylaw
(1) Building permits for the construction of single family or two
family dwellings in a subdivision or on contiguous Form A lots held in
common or related ownership on the effective date of this provision shall
not be granted at a rate per annum greater than as permitted by the
following schedule:
No. of lots
Min. Yrs. of
Development
Max. Lots
Developed/Yr
1-6 1 Ail
7-20 2 50% of total
21-34 3 33% of total
35-50 4 25% of total
51-75 5 20% of total
76-125 6 16.7% of total

accordance with these provisions.
(3) If there is a proposed subdivision with any lots that are within
500 feet of lots in another subdivisions held by common or relsted
ownership, then both subdivision shall be construed to be a single
subdivision for the purposes of this Bylaw.
(4) Lot lines for Form A lots shall be defined when the Form A lots
have been approved by the Planning Board. Subsequent changes in the shape
or ownership of lots shall not render the provisions of this Bylaw void.
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: FAVOI~%BLE with the following amendments:
(5) The anniversary date for each subdivision or contiguous Form A
lots under this provision shall be no earlier than the date on which all
required approvals required for a building permit have been obtained (e.g.

permits in succeeding years shall be limited to less than the permitted
maximum, if necessary, to insure that this cap is not exceeded.
(7) The Planning Board, in conjunction with the Building Inspector,
shall be responsible for administering this section of the bylaw.
Accordingly, the Planning shall adopt and publish reasonable regulations

(8) The invalidity of one or more provision or clauses of this section
shall not invalidate or impair the section as a whole or any other part
thereof.
111
VOTED to approve the article as amended (by a two-thirds vote: aye 310,
nay 134).
Article 14. BUILDING PERMIT LIMITATION. To see if the Town will vote to
amend the Zoning Bylaw:
Whereas, the Town's drinking water has deteriorated to the point that the
Town has voted to appropriate millions of dollars for a water treatment plant;
and
Whereas, the number of residential building permits has tripled in three
years; and
Whereas, the Town must expend additional millions of dollars for the
construction of a new school, a new fire station and additional staff for Town
Departments to adjust and cope with this growth rate; and
Whereas, the Town has seen fit to appoint a Committee to study the matter
of balanced growth, and has appropriated $30,000 for the purpose of hiring a
consultant to assist the said Committee; and
Whereas, it is necessary to limit the number of residential building
permits to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the Town's present
and future inhabitants while the Town decides on a course of action in the face
of present development,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED BY THE TOWN AT TOWN MEETING,
to amend Section i0.11 (Building Permit) of the Zoning Bylaw as follows:
by adding immediately after the first paragraph of said Section, the following
language:
"The issuance of written building permits for new dwelling units shall be
limited to t20 per year, commencing from the effective date of this
amendment (this figure shall be known as the "annual limit"). Such
permits shall be issued at the rate of ten (10) per month. No person,
persons related to one another, trust or corporation shall receive more
than three (3) such permits per month nor more than thirty (30) in one
year. For the purpose of this section, "dwelling units" shall mean single
family homes, condominium units and apartment units.
This section does not apply to the following:
(1) conversion of existing family dwellings into two-family units;
{2) enlargement, restoration or reconstruction of existing dwellings,
intended for occupancy by the owner of the dwelling;
(3) construction of a single-family home on a lot in separate ownership at
the time of passage of this Bylaw amendment, if built for occupancy by
the owner of the lot, or for another member of his immediate family;
(4) for projects subsidized by federal or state housing agencies.
If there are fewer than ten (10) applications for building permits for
dwelling units in any month, the remaining unissued permits will be added to
the allowable number of permits for the following month. In such fashion, such
unissued permits from month to month may accumulate from the effective date of
this amendment for one year only, provided further, that such carryover shall
not pass beyond the anniversary of the effective date of this amendment. On
the anniversary date of this amendment the number of available, accumulated,
unissued permits shall return to zero, and the process of accumulation will
recommence for one year periods from the said anniversary date. On the said
anniversary date the "annual limit" may be increased by an amount equal to the
number 120 multiplied by one-tenth the rate of growth of the population in the
Town for the most recent decade, such rate is to be determined bv reference to
state census figures. The resulting number, arrived at by such multiplication,
112
shall be the new annual limit for building permits; and the corresponding
monthly limit shall be arrived at by dividing the new annual limit by twelve
(12), and rounding up to the nearest whole number in instances where such
calculation results in a fraction. On each successive anniversary date a new
annual limit shall be calculated in the same manner using the new annual limit
as the starting figure and employed for the following year. The Building
Inspector and Board of Selectmen may utilize whatever system they deem to be
fair and equitable to insure a fair allocation of permits.
This amendment shall expire three (3) months from the date of approval by
the Attorney General of a Zoning Bylaw amendment, which specifically repeals
this amendment.
The invalidity of one or more provisions or clauses of this amendment
shall not invalidate or impair the amendment as a whole or any other part
thereof." (Petition of Elizabeth R. Tuttle and others)
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: UNFAVORABLE as written due to the
following reasons:
The Building Limitation does not provide a system of allotment for
issuing building permits. The Planning Board is of the opinion that an
established allotment system should have been incorporated in the article
for Town Meeting to vote on.
- Secondly, the article as submitted does not indicate an expiration date
concerning the proposed limitation on issuing building permits to 120 per
year. The Building Limitation Bylaw proponents should have openlv
addressed these two critical elements.
VOTED to reject the article, failing a two-thirds vote (ave 227, nay 189).
Article 15. INCREASE IN FINE FOR ZONING BYLAW VIOLATION. To see if the
Town will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaw bv striking the paragraph under
(Section 10.13 Pen.alt¥ for Violation) and adding the following:
"Whoever continues to violate the provisions of this Bylaw after written
notice from the Building Inspector demanding an abatement of a zoning
violation within a reasonable time, shall be subject to a fine of three
hundred dollars ($300). Each dav that such violation continues shall be
considered a separate offense."
(Petition of the Planning Board)
EXPLANATION: The purpose of this amendment is to increase the present
zoning violation fee of $20 per zoning violation each aay to $300, which is the
statutory maximum.
PLANNING BOARD ~{ECOMMENDATION: FAVORABLE. VOTED to approve the article
as written (by a two-thirds vote: aye 333, nay 16).
Article 16. MINIMUM CONTIGUOUS BUILDABT~ LOT AREA REQUIREMENT. To see if
the Town will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaw by adding the following after the
first paragraph in (Section 7.1 Lot Area):
"The area of the lot, exclusive of area in a street or recorded way open
to public use, at least seventy five (75) percent of the minimum lot
area required for zoning shall be contiguous land other than land located
within a line identified as wetland resource areas in accordance with the
Wetlands Protection Act, Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 131, Section
40. The proposed structure must be constructed on said designated
contiguous land area. (Petition of Planning Board)
EXPLANATION: Any new lot(s) created will be required to have at least 75%
of the lot area as non-wetlands as describe~ in the Wetlands Protection Act.
For example, a lot in a Residence 2 District (1 acre minimum) must have a
113
minimum contiguous area totalling 32,670 square feet of land without wetlands
to qualify as a buildable lot. The dwelling must be located in that contiguous
buildable area (CBA).
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
amended:
FAVORABLE action on this article as
Amend the first sentencn by adding the wording depicted in BOLD typa:
"As of April 26, 1986, the area of any new lot created, exclusive of area
in a street or recorded way open to public use, at least seventy-five 75%
of the minimum lot area required for zoning shall be contiguous land other
than land located within a line identified as wetland resource areas in
accordance with the Wetlands Protection Act, Massachusetts General Laws,
Chapter 131, Section 40. The proposed structure must be constructed on
said designated contiguous land area."
The Board has modified the article to make it explicitly clear that thi,
bylaw change will affect NEW lots, NOT existing lots.

two-thirds vote: aye 292, nay 84).

facilities (other than for Day Care). This amendment requires a Special Permit
review process in order to allow a for a for-profit educational facilitiv to
locate in a Residence 1,2,3,4,5 District (Special Permit meaning public hearing

placed within the detailed district use regulations section 4.122 of the Bylaw.
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: FAVORABLE with the following changes:
- to Section 4.121, Residence 1,2,3 District, add the word use:
"(10) Public building or use, and public service corporations (Special
Permit), but not including public works garages."
~-(Yi~ED to approve the article as written (by a unanimous vote).
