-2001 JANpp
The Planning Board herein denies the 25 lot subdivision located off of Chestnut Street and Rl R.An 18
the Residential-3 Zoning District. The application was submitted by Kenneth Rea,44 Rea Street,North
Andover,MA 01845,dated December 29,2000.
Findings of Fact
The Planning Board makes the following findings relative to this proposed preliminary subdivision plan:
A. The Preliminary Plan does not adhere to all of the design standards indicated in Section 4.3 of the
Town of North Andover Massachusetts Rules and Regulations Governing the Subdivision of Land
in North Andover,Massachusetts,dated November,2000 as noted below.
a) The Plan does not comply with Section 4.3.e of the regulations as the plans do not
state whether the proposed street will be offered for acceptance to the town.
b) The Plan does not comply with Section 4.3.1. of the regulations as a copy of the
deed demonstrating ownership of the property and reference to any and all deeds,
encumbrances and easements are not listed on the plan.
c) The Plan does not comply with Section 4.3.5 of the regulations which requires the
contiguous buildable area of each lot to be depicted The only reference to
contiguous buildable area is shown on Sheet 1 listed with the Zoning District
Information. The contiguous buildable area of each lot needs to be listed for
each and every lot on the plan.
d) The Plan does not comply with Section 4.3.7 of the regulations which requires the
existing and proposed topography to be depicted at 2'intervals. The plan depicts
the topography in 10'intervals.
e) The Plan does not comply with Section 4.3.9 of the regulations which requires a
statement describing the cut and fill operations,including a general estimate of the
net import or export of the fill from the subdivision to be provided No such
statement has been provided.
f) The proposal does not comply with Section 4.3.16 of the regulations which
requires a certification from a registered professional engineer in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts stating that the plans have been designed in
accordance with good engineering practice and the design of the plans is in
compliance with the purpose of these subdivision rules and regulations.
B. The Preliminary Plan does not comply with the Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaw:
a) It is unclear if the proposal meets the side,front and rear lot setbacks mandated by
Table 2—Summary of Dimensional Requirements of the Town of North Andover
Zoning Bylaw. Although Sheet 1 of the plans lists what the setbacks required are
on the Zoning District Table, the plans do not indicate whether the proposed
dwellings will meet these setbacks. The plans need to depict all of the building
setbacks and their proximity to the proposed dwellings.
b) It is unclear if the proposal meets Section 7.1.2 of the North Andover Zoning
Bylaw. Section 7.1.2 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw requires the
minimum width of a lot to be a distance of 100 feet between the street frontage and
the front buildingline. The plans need to depict this 100' between the
p dep street
frontage and the front building line of each proposed dwelling on every lot.
As the applicant has failed to follow the procedures and provide the information required by the Rules and
Regulations as demonstrated by the Findings of Fact the Planning Board herein DENIES this application
for a preliminary subdivision plan.
