107 Permit—Site Plan Review under sections 8.1, 8.3, 10.3 and 10.31 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw. Applicant
108 proposes to construct nine (9) parking spaces located at the end of Hillside Road. The proposed project is within
109 the Business 4(B-4)Zoning District.
110 R. Oldham: ]'his project was originally brought before the Board in the form of a waiver request at a previous
ill meeting. We circulated the application to all appropriate departments,The NAI"D has submitted comments stating
11.2 they do not believe this will impede their emergency response to the complex; the existing roadway is currently
113 not sufficient for their fire trucks. Building reviewed the parking plan and commented that there is not sufficient
114 parking at this site currently;they are in favor of additional parking, DPW had no issues except that as park of any
115 approval the Board condition that conceptual right for the Roadway Easement be established and conveyed to the
1.16 Town as well as recorded with the Registry of Deeds. The stormwater consultant had no issues with the design.
117 Her comments involved maintenance of the porous pavement which she recommended be conditioned.
118 Steve Stapinski,Merrimack Engineerin : Previously,the Board decided we should pursue Site Plan Review based
1.19 on emergency vehicle access and stormwater review. (Displayed colored site plan)A portion of the paved
120 roadway is on the Chestnut Green property.After several serious accidents,the Town and Board of Selectmen
121 closed Hillside Road at Route 114 (MA Highway paid for this), prior to Chestnut Green being built. The
122 Fellowship Bible Church sold the property to the Chestnut Green developers.The easement was never taken for
123 the turnaround; it never went to Town Meeting. The nine additional parking spaces would begin at the edge of the
124 existing pavement. Vehicles could still turn around, as they do now. Wetlands nearby lit-nit parking options. These
125 new parking spaces will be dedicated to employees; providing more options for patrons.
126 Mark Brissenden, 250 Hillside Road Abutter: Requested explanation of the proposed site layout and description
127 of lighting levels.No additional lighting is proposed.
128 Craig Burns, 234 Hillside Road Abutter: This site is congested with commercial delivery trucks using the area.
129 Twenty years of growth was originally taken down to add a couple of parking spaces and a dumpster. People cut
130 from Route 114 through to'route 125. It's dangerous, I've had my fence and mailbox taken down and basketball
131 net dragged down Route 125. The complex is encroaching on the neighborhood.There's no buffer. We have to J
132 watch our cars backing in and out. Snow is dumped onto my property.

133 J. Simons: Is this the best solution?Will this parking solution make it better or worse?
134 C. Burns: My fear is that it will make it more congested. Medical vehicles drop off and pick up people; however,
1.35 designating the spaces as employee parking spots may help.
136 Jill Burns, 234 Hillside Road Abutter: There are frequent van transports for elderly people that wait in that circle.
137 I'm not sure where these vehicles will end up.
13$ P. Baynton: If parking spaces will occur where it's currently landscaped; it might make it less possible for other
139 vehicles to loiter there; forcing vehicles toward the existing parking lot; creating relief for the neighborhood.
140 John Kin& 591 Turnoike,abutter: I rent out the home at the edge of the closed road. The turnaround isn't big
1.41 enough;I would question a firetruck can navigate it. There's a deteriorated drainage opening on the opposite end
142 of Hillside that the town has not addressed. Questioned the gross building square footage v. the total number of
143 current spaces, snow storage areas, and the construction and maintenance of the porous paving material.
144 R. Oldham: There is currently 84,1.22 sq. ft. of gross floor area in three buildings; if decmed medical,they would
145 be required to have 378 parking spaces and there are 259 spaces on site.
1.46 S. Sta nski: Chestnut.Green has tried unsuccessfully to rent spaces from Rite Aid.
147 J. Simons: We agree this is a situation that needs improvement and recommend you meet with the abutters,review
148 our drainage study and together we should be able to make this better than it is today.
149 P. Boynton: Requested site photos for reference at the next meeting.

155 Review Special Permit required a parking analysis to be completed after the issuance of a Certificate of
156 Occupancy for a restaurant that opened in the plaza. The analysis was supposed to done at a 6 month and one year
157 interval. H. Kanellos has provided a 6 month pat-king analysis that indicates the parking lot is not at capacity at this
158 point. He plans to open a"fast food restaurant"after January 2017. The fellow-up analysis will show the impact
159 of his restaurant on the parking.
