814 Osgood Street
Special Permit-Watershed Protection District
The Planning Board makes the following findings regarding the application of Caren
Jacobson and Blair Roberts, 814 Osgood Street, North Andover, MA 01845, dated March
17, 2000, requesting a Special Permit under Section 4.136 of the Zoning Bylaw to allow the
construction of a 492' square foot addition and screened porch within the Non-Discharge
Zone of the Watershed Protection District.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
In accordance with 4.136(4) 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 project is located on a septic system which has received prior
approval from the Board of Health—the applicant has stated that this proposal will
not have a flow increase to the existing septic system;
b) The increase in runoff resulting from this construction will be treated by Best
Management Practices—the existing catch basins on Osgood Street and the existing
wetlands.
c) Construction of the addition and the screened porch is approximately 2000' feet
away from Lake Cochiewick;
d) The rooftop runoff, which is considered to be uncontaminated by the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection,will be recharged into the ground.
2) That there is no reasonable alternative location outside the Non-Disturbance Zone for
any discharge, structure or activity, associated with the proposed project because no
portion of the applicant's lot is outside this zone, therefore there is no practicable
alternative to construct the addition outside this 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;
D. Adequate and appropriate facilities are provided for the proper operation of the proposed
use;
E. The Planning Board also makes a specific finding that the use is in harmony with the
general purpose and intent of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw.
Upon reaching the above findings, the Planning Board approves this Special Permit based
upon the following conditions:
