Re: Osgood Mill Planned Development
District (PDD) Special Permit
Dear Mr. Long:
The North Andover Planning Board held a public hearing on
Tuesday evening, December 1, 1992, at 8:00 p.m. in the Town
Office Meeting Room, upon the application of URDAC, Inc. of
Boston, MA. , and subsequently continued the public hearing until
December 15, 1992. The hearing was duly advertised in the
Lawrence Eagle Tribune on November 16 and November 23, 1992. All
parties of interest were properly notified. The following
members were present at the December 1, 1992 meeting: Joseph
Mahoney, George Perna, John Draper, John Simons and Richard
Rowen.
The petitioner seeks a Special Permit under Section 11-
Planned Development District of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw
(the "Zoning Bylaw") , governed by Section 10.31 Conditions for
Approval of Special Permit. Thissection of the Zoning Bylaw
permits a mixed use in an Industrial-S District by Special
Permit.
As indicated in a Notice of Decision dated September 3,
1985, recorded with the Essex North District Registry of Deeds at
Book 2111„ Page 167, the Planning Board issued a Special Permit
to allow the conversion of two existing buildings, and
construction of five new buildings, into 188 residential housing
units and an office/restaurant facility located on the Westside
of Elm Street and known as the Osgood Mill Complex. Said lot is
situated in an Industrial-S Zoning District possessing 13 .2 acres
of land area. In addition, the premises is located in the Town's
designated Commercial Area Revitalization District (CARD) and
Historic District. Construction authorized under the above
referenced Special permit was discontinued before the Osgood Mill
Complex was completed, and a question has arisen , whether _the
Special Permit, as well as the associated site plan approval for
the Osgood Mill Complex, are still in full force and effect.
Page 2:
Osgood Mill Complex
The purpose of the present Special Permit application is to
obtain a new Special Permit, as well as definitive site plan
approval, in order to complete the partially constructed Osgood
Mill Complex. The new definitive site plan is set forth on the
plan entitled "Site Layout[ , ] Sutton Pond Condominiums[ , ] North
Andover, Massachusetts"; prepared by Henry Schadler Associates,
P.C. ; scale: 1"=401 ; dated November 13, 1992, revised November
30, 1992 (the "Plan") .
The following members were present and voting at the
December 15, 1992, meeting when the Board rendered their
decision: Joseph Mahoney, George Perna, John Draper, John
Simons, and Richard Rowen.
Upon a motion made by Mr. Mahoney and seconded by Mr.
Draper, the Board voted unanimously to close the public hearing
and approve the petitioner's Special Permit application and Plan
for a Planned Development District (PDD) for the Osgood Mill
Complex.
Attached are those conditions.
Sincerely,
NORTH ANDOVER PLANNING BOARD
