The area affected is located at Lot 3, Great Pond Road in the R-1 Zoning District, Map
103, Lot 131. The lot was created in 1990 and is subject to the Watershed Protection
District provisions for lots created on or prior to October 24, 1994. The applicant is

and associated appurtenances located within the Non-Disturbance and Non-Discharge
Zones of the Watershed Protection District. Public hearings were held on April 6 and April
20,2004.
A Watershed Special Permit was previously issued by the Planning Board on September 9,
1999 for construction of a single family house, however the permit expired in 2001 and the
applicant has not completed substantial work on the site, therefore a re-filing was necessary.
Lot 2 is serviced by a separate gravel driveway, which is required to be separated by a 3'
grassed strip from the, common driveway which services lots 3 and 4. Lots 3 and 4 are
serviced by a common gravel driveway permitted under a common driveway Special Permit
issued by the Planning Board on September 9, 1999.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
In accordance with 4.136 the Planning Board makes the finding that the intent of the Bylaw,
as well as its specific criteria,are met. Specifically the Planning Board finds:
1. That as a result of the proposed construction in conjunction with other uses nearby,
there will not be any significant degradation of the quality or quantity of water in or
entering Lake Cochichewick. The Planning Board bases its findings on the
following facts:
a) The proposed structures will be connected to the Town sewer system;
b) A covenant will be placed in the deed restricting and limiting the types of
fertilizers that can be used on the site.
c) The topography of the site will not be altered substantially.
d) The limit of clearing is restricted to the minimum necessary to construct the

e) This decision supercedes the decision issued on September 9, 1999 for
construction of a single family home on Lot 3 in the Watershed Protection
District.
2. There is no reasonable alternative location outside the Non-Discharge Buffer Zone,
for any discharge, structure or activity,associated with the proposed project.
3. In accordance with Section 10.31 of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw,the Planning
Board makes the following findings:
a) The specific site is an appropriate location for the proposed use as all feasible
storm water and erosion controls have been placed on the site;
b) The use will not adversely affect the neighborhood as the use is accessory to an
existing single family;
c) There will be no nuisance or serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians;
d) Adequate and appropriate facilities are provided for the proper operation of the
proposed use;
