HomeMy WebLinkAboutMiscellaneous - Exception (200)Sgt. Fred Soucy of the North Andover Police Dept., stated that a middle turn lane would benefit
the Town but it would have to go from Rennies to Mass. Ave. Possibly the costs could be borne
by all property owners along that stretch of roadway. He is not in favor of widening the shoulder.
If a' middle turn lane is not constructed the roadway should remain as. If there are two vehicles
and one went to pass on the right there would be adequate space to pass.
Joseph Balliro, of 27 Farrwood Drive, asked if that was legal to pass on the breakdown lane. Mr.
Soucy stated that they need to determine if it is a breakdown lane.
Lisa Neukuckatz, of 68 Farrwood Drive, stated that people will start to pass on both sides of the
street and make it a 4 way street and what about the pedestrians that are walking. Mr. Soucy
stated that there is a sidewalk for the pedestrians.
Carol Rennie, owner, stated that there has never been an accident in front of Rennies. Ms.
Lescarbeau stated that there was just one store there now however with this complex there will be
more.
Atty. Peter Shaheen stated that Mass. Highway has jurisdiction over Rt. 125 and the plans have
been submitted for their approval.
P.J. Piantadosi stated that these people live off of a state highway what do they expect. He would
like to see a mall come into this town instead of going over Andover to spend his money.
Ms. Curcio, of Farrwood Drive, stated that once the mall goes in the accidents will start to occur
just like they did when Osco Drug went in on Rt. 114. She stated that 9 accidents have occurred.
Jim McCarthy, Heritage Green property manager, stated that he does not want to see Rt. 125 turn
into a Rt. 28 in Salem, NH.
Carol Rennie stated that the mall would be a benefit to the town and it will have a country
atmosphere.
P.J. Piantadosi stated that the Rennies have 'lived in this town their whole life and they are not
planning on putting up the mall and leaving town.
Mark Gross, site engineer, stated that there would be 4 underground systems designed to store a
100 yr. Storm. Mr. Gross stated that 'they have been before ConCom and they have asked John
Chessia to look over the drainage because they will be discussing that with ConCom.
Mr. Mahoney asked where the runoff would go. Mr. Gross stated that it would go into the
wetlands on the Rennies property.
Ms. Colwell stated that the building inspector had concerns with the proposed drainage structures
off site and suggested that the applicant check with him regarding this issue. Mr. Gross stated
that all the runoff goes through the infiltration.
