Date of Decision: February 13, 2012
Petition of: Nancy Leland,254 Great Pond Road,North Andover,MA 01845
Premises Affected: 254 Great Pond Rd,North Andover,Massachusetts,01845,
Assessor's Map 37A, Parcel 6-2 and located in the Residential 1 Zoning
District.
HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
On November 8, 2010, the applicant Nancy Leland, applied for a Watershed Special Permit for the
construction of a single-family home in the Residential I Zoning District. On December 21, 2010, the
Planning Board unanimously approved the application.
On January 18, 2012, the applicant notified the Planning Department of changes to the original site plan
and those changes were confirmed on a site visit that tools place on January 23,2012.
The applicant is proposing to change the grading surrounding the building and the finished grade of the
proposed building, as follows:
• The elevation grade of the new building will be approximately 2 ft. higher than the original plan.
The grade of the area immediately surrounding the building will be changed to allow a gradual
slope to the remainder of the site. The grade changes surrounding the building are necessary in
order to blend the grade changes with existing topography and to avoid erosion on the site. Some
of the grade changes will take place outside of the non-discharge zone, in the non-disturbance
zone.
• Fieldstone landscaping walls are proposed surrounding the structure to accommodate the grade
changes.
• Two patio areas will be eliminated and one will be reduced, resulting in a decrease of 420 sq. ft.
impervious area from the approved plan.
These changes are reflected on the plan dated December 6, 2011, titled Interim Site Plan for 254 Great
Pond Road,prepared by Christiansen and Sergi,Inc.
FINDINGS OF FACT
The proposed changes are deemed to be insubstantial `field changes' that do not alter either the intent or
the conditions of the original Special Permit. The changes do not require a vote of the Planning Board.
