Special Permit-Watershed Protection District
The Planning Board makes the following findings regarding the application of Robert & Glorianne
Farnham, 673 Great Pond Road, North Andover, MA 01845, submitted on August 23, 2000,
requesting a Special Permit under Section 4.136 of the Zoning By-Law to allow the expansion of
an existing structure by less than 25% gross floor area within the Non-Discharge Zone of the
Watershed Protection District in conjunction with the construction of a 300 square foot two story
addition.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
In accordance with 4.133 the Planning Board makes the finding that the intent of the Bylaw, as well
as its specific criteria, are met. Specifically the Planning Board finds:
1. That as a result of the proposed construction in conjunction with other uses nearby, there
will not be any significant degradation of the quality or quantity of water in or entering Lake
Cochichewick. The Planning Board bases its findings on the following facts:
a) The proposed structure is attached to a home which is connected to the Town sewer
system;
b) A deed restriction will be placed limiting the types of fertilizers that can be used on the
site.
c) The topography of the site will not be altered substantially.
d) The limit of clearing is restricted to the minimum necessary to construct the structure
and appurtenances;
2. There is no reasonable alternative location outside the Non-Discharge Buffer Zone for any
discharge, structure or activity, associated with the proposed project as almost the entire lot
is located within the Non-Disturbance Zone and the Non-Discharge Zone.
In accordance with Section 10.31 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw, the Planning Board makes
the following findings:
a) The specific site is an appropriate location for the proposed use as all feasible storm
water and erosion controls have been placed on the site;
b) The use will not adversely affect the neighborhood as the lot is located in a residential
zone;
c) There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians;

use;

general purpose and intent of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw.
