7 DISCUSSION:
8 Selection Process for a Master Plan Committee:
9 R. Oldham: This committee will be the"selection committee"for the Master Plan"steering committee". Two
10 members from the Board of Selectmen are being nominated and two members from the Planning Board will be
11 nominated. Eric Kfoury,Director of Community&Economic Development, will be the 5'1'member.
12 BOARD: A general discussion ensued regarding the selection process, interested Board members and logistics of
13 both the "selection committee"and"steering committee". The Board felt strongly that since the zoning bylaws
1.4 will be evaluated, recodified and potentially rewritten that representation on both committees was warranted. Staff
15 will collect more information concerning the process and the discussion will continue at the next hearing.

17 CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: 575 Turnpike Street-Chestnut Green,Steve Stapinski: Application for
18 Special Permit--Site Plan Review under sections 8.1, 8.3, 10.3 and 10.31 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw.
19 Applicant proposes to construct nine(9)parking spaces located at the end of Hillside Road.The proposed project
20 is within the Business 4(B-4)Zoning District.
21 R. Oldham: There were some outstanding issues raised at the last hearing: Town Counsel has been briefed on the
22 project and advises that the Board issue a condition to the site plan approval that the Applicant shall convey an
23 easement in the parking area,to be reviewed by Town Counsel and that the easement shall be recorded at the
24 registry of deeds;DPW confirmed the grassed area at the end of the road is still considered the accepted Town
25 Road; the guardrail is also owned by the Town. DPW will entertain a discussion about moving the guardrail back
26 for potential snow storage; however there are other factors at play that will impact that discussion such as guardrail j
27 contracts, etc. As noted at the last hearing,the Chestnut Green Condominium Association had approached the
28 BOS in 2004 about leasing property to locate parking spaces by the grassed area near the guardrail; expanding the
29 existing parking lot. The project was never pursued. Photos were requested of the area. (Showed site photos)
30 Steve Stapinski, Engineer: The Chestnut Green Association would be interested in leasing that grassed area for
31 potentially 9 more spaces; access would be through the existing lot.The intent was to expand into hillside Rd.
32 with access through the existing lot. The abutter at the tirne objected to that idea. The Selectmen were advised not
33 to proceed. Subsequently, the property was sold. The new homeowner was present at the last meeting.
34 L. Rudnicki: Why do we need a turnaround that isn't totally functional?
35 R. Oldham: Originally, it was designed as a turnaround because there was no longer a thruway. However, it was
36 not constructed for fire access.NAFD has commented that they cannot utilize the turnaround as it is currently
37 built.
38 S. Stapinski: The turnaround space is fine for all delivery vehicles; larger fire apparatus vehicles cannot
39 turnaround there. It does provide access to the home across the street and fire access to the home that's on the 1
40 corner.
41 L. Rudnicki: My concern is that we are eliminating greenspace. t
42 J. Simons: We can condition additional landscaping.
43 L. McShen : The placement of the new parking spots and plowing; will it affect the trees?
