Description of Proposed Project:
Project includes the construction of a modular building containing three classrooms, one
office, and bathrooms as required. There are two possible locations. Option A would be
attached to the west of the original building to replace the existing single modular
classroom. If this location is chosen, then both the new space and original building will
have a sprinkler system installed. Option B would be a stand-alone structure just south of
the existing building on unused lawn on the other side of the existing access road.
Description of Premises:
The existing site for Option A is a slightly sloped paved area on the west side of the
existing building currently occupied by the single modular classroom. The existing site
for Option B is a fairly level area of unused lawn just south of the existing building,
adjacent to the current parking lot and on the other side of the existing access road.
REPORT: SITE PLAN REVIEW Page 1
Kittredge Elementary School Modular Classrooms (3) and Office.
Documentation required by Special Permit—Site Plan Review Application
The use of the Kittredge Elementary School site for the proposed modular classrooms
and community program office is an appropriate use of the school property. Constructed
in the selected location on part of a largely unused lawn area south of the existing
building (Option B) or adjacent to the west as a replacement of the existing modular
classroom (Option A)the proposed modular building does not compromise student use of
the play areas. The design of the modular building is as compact as possible.
The proposed modular building does not disturb the current flow of traffic nor create an
undue concentration of the school population. Each space receives outside light and is
heated and air-conditioned. There are code required egresses and the proposed modular
building is covered by a fire alar system. If Option A is chosen then sprinklers will be
installed in both the new space and the existing building.
Listed below is the information required for the Special Permit Application in
accordance with the Section 8.3 of the Zoning ByLaw.
Name/Description of Project
Three classrooms, office and handicapped accessible bathrooms with lobby are proposed
to be constructed adjacent to the existing Kittredge Elementary School at 610 Main Street
in North Andover. There are two possible locations. The Option A location is the same
as the project previously review and approved by the Planning Board. The Option B
location is just south of the existing building on unused lawn on the other side of the
access road. This project is funded by the Town of North Andover with the Awarding
Authority being the North Andover School Building Committee. James Mealey, Business
Manager, North Andover School Department(978) 794-1503 is the contact person.
Easements/Legal Conditions
There are no known, current easements or legal encumbrances that are related to the sites
physical development.
Topography
The 6.57 acres of land on which the existing school is located slopes down from the
southwest to the northeast. Spot elevations of the existing topography are shown on the
Site Plan in the area proposed for constructing the modular building. The specifications
for those companies proposing to construct the modular building are required to prepare
and submit a boundary survey of the school property conforming to the requirements of
the Essex County Registry of Deeds Office.
Report: Site Plan Review—Kittredge Modular Building Page 2
Zoning Information
The following information inning information applied to the proposed modular building:
Zoning District Residential
Lot Area,Min.SF 12,500 SF (Existing 286,189 SF)
Height,Max Feet 35 (Proposed 12 feet)
Street Frontage,Min.Ft. 100 (Existing 435 feet)

Rest Setback Min.Ft. 30 (Existing 175 feet)
Floor Area Ratio,Max NA (Proposed=Existing.06:1)
Lot Coverage NA (Proposed+Existing 6%)
Dwelling Unit Density NA
Stormwater Drainage
Presently the roof drainage for the existing Kittredge Elementary School, which was
constructed in 1960, is connected to the municipal drainage system in Main Street. The
surface water runoff from the driveway and puking in front of the school on the east side
flows on the surface to catchbasins in Main Street and the runoff from the paved play
area and existing modular class room back of the existing school building on the west
side also flows on the surface to a catchbasin in Main Street. There are no catchbasins on
the school site.
It is proposed that the roof water from the proposed modular and the adjacent paved play
area be collected in a subsurface drainage system with drain inlets and drain manholes
and piped to an existing catchbasin in Main Street.
Building Location
The existing brick elementary school building is two stories with a height of
approximately 32 feet, the existing one story modular, wood classroom building located
in back of the school building is 11 feet high and the proposed modular wood building
located west of the existing school building is also 11 feet high. The gross square feet for
the three structures are as follow: existing school building 27,000 SF, existing modular
classroom 1800 SF and the proposed modular building 3600 SF.
Report: Site Plan Review—Kittredge Modular Building Page 3
Building Elevation
Shown on the architectural drawings are exterior elevations of the proposed modular
building.
Location of Parking/Walkways
The existing driveway has curb cuts on Main Street for vehicular access which is a one-
way, paved drive with parking on the sides. A sidewalk extends from Main Street to the
main entrance of the school building. A drive connects to main drive to the paved play
area from which a drive connects to Main Street at a third curb cut.
Location of Wetlands
There are no wetlands on the property or within 100 feet of the proposed construction.
Location of Walls/Signs
There are no proposed walls or signs included in the project.
Location of Roadways/Drives
No new additional driveways or curb cuts are proposed. A minor amount of new
pavement is proposed for sidewalks to the modular building and resurfacing a section of
the existing paved play area.
Outdoor Storage/Display Areas.
No outdoor storage/display areas are proposed.
Landscaping Plan
No planting is proposed, only lawns.
Refuse Areas.
No refuse areas are proposed.
Lighting Facilities
No exterior lighting is proposed except to illuminate the entrance and exit from the
proposed modular building.
Drainage Basin Study
Approximately 3900 square feet of additional impervious area is added to the site, the
runoff of which is connected to the municipal drainage system.
Report: Site Plan Review—Kittredge Modular Building Page 4
Traffic Impact Study
As there is no increase in the school population, no increase in traffic is anticipated.
Currently approximately 5 buses use the main drive on the east side of the school
building in the morning and afternoon. Parents between 35 and 45 can dropping off and
picking up students drive behind the building on the west side for each session. Parents
and buses exit to Main Street using separate drives.
There me 37 designated parking spaces including two handicapped parking spaces which
meet the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board requirements.
Commonwealth Review
No permits are required to be submitted to the Commonwealth for this project.
Utilities
As shown on the site plan the proposed water and sewer for the modular building connect
to the existing building system in the crawl space. It is proposed that the low pressure gas
to the existing building be extended to the modular building for the roof-top gas fired
units. The electric service will be installed underground to the modular building and a fire
alarm system will be installed in the proposed modular building. Runoff from the roof
leaders of the proposed modular building and adjacent exterior pavement along with a
section of lawn area west and north of the proposed modular building will be collected
and pipe to a catchbasin in Main Street.
Fiscal Impact
Relative to the operating budget for the school, there will be an increase in the costs of
utilities namely gas and electric for the modular building.
Community Impact
The proposed office in the modular building will house an office for Community
Programs.
