Great Pond Estates
Special Permit
Construction of a Roadway in the Watershed District
The Planning Board herein approves the Special Permit requested
by Eight Meadows Realty Trust,. dated November 13, 1992. The
Planning Board makes the following findings regarding this
Special Permit as required by sections 4 .136 and 10 .3 of the
North Andover Zoning Bylaw:
A. The specific site is an appropriate location for the uses,
structures or conditions associated with a Definitive
Subdivision;
B. The Definitive Subdivision will not adversely affect the
neighborhood;
C. There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or
pedestrians created by this Definitive Subdivision;
D. Adequate and appropriate facilities will be provided for the
proper operation of the Definitive Subdivision;
E. The Definitive Subdivision is in harmony with the general
purpose and intent of the Zoning Bylaw
The Planning Board also finds, under Section 4 . 136 (7) (c) that the
Definitive Subdivision, in combination with other nearby uses,
will not result in significant degradation of the quality or
quantity of water in or entering Lake Cochichewick.
The Planning Board hereby grants this special permit in
conjunction with the Conditional Approval of the Definitive
Subdivision of land requested by Marilyn and Felecia Elias, dated
November 13 , 1992 ; provided the following conditions are met:
1. Due to the roadway' s proximity to Lake Cochichewick and its
location in the Watershed Protection District the following
waivers from the "Rules and Regulations Governing the
Subdivision of Land" were granted:
a. Section 7 .A(1) (j ) Intersection of Street Lines
b. Section 7.A(4) Dead-End Streets: The maximum dead-end
length allowed in Zoning District R-1 is 800 feet. The
Board approves the 1, 014 feet proposed as the extra 214
will not have a detrimental effect on the subdivision.
This additional length is necessary to provide frontage
for the only dwelling that presently exists on this
site. The board finds that (1) the roadway could be
extended to abutting properties, if necessary in the
1
�s on
future, (2) the effect on the wetlands has been
minimized at roadway. station 3+90 and wetlands in the
cul-de-sac do not exist, (3) topography in the cul-de-
sac area is level, (4) none of the proposed roadway
grades exceed 6%.
C. Section 7 .0 Shoulders: shoulders have been provided and
graded between the right of way line and the pavement,
except for the wetland crossing area, where walls are
constructed to minimize the impact on the wetlands at
roadway station 3+90. Site conditions at the wetland
crossing area do not allow for shoulders to be graded
in accordance with this Section. It should also be
noted that the roadway layout has been carefully placed
to pass by and not disturb the isolated low lying areas
between roadway stations 6+50 to 9+100.
d. Statement of Environmental Impact (Section 3 .C(4) ) :
Full statement not required; however the following
sections have been drafted: Topography of Existing Site
Features, Physical Environment, Surface Water and Soils
Conditions And SUbsurface Conditions.
e. Modification of Form C Covenant 3 to provide for
construction period of two years following the
installation of the municipal sewer system in Great
Pond Road.
f. Modification of Section 7 .A(3) by allowing the
substitution of Cape Cod berm for granite curbing.
2 . The applicant must comply with all Department of Public
Works Rules and Regulations, including the following:
a. the Board finds that due to the roadway' s location in
the Watershed Protection District and its necessary
wetland crossing, the 22 foot roadway pavement width as
shown on the plans is appropriate.
b. the Board also finds that due to the sensitive nature
of the site, and the need for a minimal amount of
impervious surface on site that a landscaped and
planted island is appropriate for the center of the cul
de sac turnaround. The island must be constructed as
shown on the plans and must be 30 feet in diameter. The
. pavement around the cul de sac island must have a width
of 35 feet.
3 . The applicant has committed to work with the Town to create
a so-called "sidewalk fund" in lieu of the actual
construction of sidewalks. The Planning Board has determined
that due to the location of the subdivision in the Watershed
2
QK' 41z
Ll
Protection District in conjunction with its small size (6
single family homes) , the creation of a sidewalk fund is
appropriate.
4 . The applicant is required to install residential fire
sprinklers in all of the newly constructed homes, excluding
the existing home on Lot 4.
5. The special permit shall be deemed to have lapsed after a
two (2) year period following the installation of the
municipal sewer system in Great Pond Road.
6. The provisions of this special permit shall apply to and be
binding upon the applicant, it' s employees and all
successors and assigns in interest or control.
7 . The following information shall be considered as part of
this decision:
