MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 28, 2018
TO: Regina Kean, Chairman, Board of Selectmen
CC: Andrew Maylor, Town Manager
FROM: Jennifer Hughes, Conservation Administrator
SUBJECT: Municipal Certification-Edgewood Conservation Restriction
At the August 22, 2018 public meeting, the North Andover Conservation Commission
(NACC) voted unanimously to sign the Municipal Certification for the Conservation
Restriction (CR) granted by the Edgewood Retirement Community to the Trustees of
Reservations and recommend approval of the CR by the Board of Selectmen.
The NACC recommends approval of the CR and believes it is in the public interest and will
serve to protect sensitive property adjacent to Lake Cochichewick. Additionally it provides
public access and preserves scenic vistas and wildlife habitat and provides ecological and
educational values. The CR is consistent with the goals of the Town of North Andover's
Open Space and Recreation Plan. The CR was also part of a development approved by the
Planning Board and the CR was part of the issued Special Permit. Please contact me if you
have any questions regarding the CR or the vote taken by the NACC.

Supply Protection Area by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection
and as such is subject to the regulations established under 310 CM 22.00: The
Massachusetts Drinking Water Regulations.
B. Preservation of Scenic Views and Vistas.

Great Pond Road (Route 133), and are an integral part of the scenic landscape
surrounding Lake Cochichewick, which consists primarily of protected and undeveloped
properties, including Town of North Andover-owned conservation land, Grantee's Weir
Hill Reservation, and other parcels owned by the Grantor which are subject to perpetual
conservation restrictions.
C. Protection of Wildlife Habitat.
The Premises contain valuable wildlife habitat, including woodlands used by a variety of
wildlife species; the entire Premises is mapped by the Massachusetts Natural Heritage
and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) as BioMap2 Core Habitat for Species of
Conservation Concern, and as Priority Habitat of Rare Species pursuant to the
Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA).
D. Furtherance of Governmental Policy.
Protection of the Premises furthers the Town of North Andover's 2010 Open Space and
Recreation Plan including meeting objectives to: protect North Andover's sole source of
drinking water, Lake Cochichewick (Objective 1); link open space and trails (Objective
4); expand existing conservation efforts (Objective 5); protect scenic hilltops,
landscapes and other historic resources (Objective 7); preserve historic landscapes and
other historic resources (Objective 8); and maintain existing recreational facilities and

Premises at the time of the granting of this Conservation Restriction and is intended to
serve as an objective information baseline for subsequent monitoring of compliance with
the terms of this Conservation Restriction as described herein. Notwithstanding the
BDR, the parties may utilize any other evidence of the condition of the Premises at the
time of this grant, should the BDR be unavailable or if it does not adequately address

3
57902624 v2
(8) Conveyance of a part or portion of the Premises alone, or division or

whose primary purpose is permanent land conservation; conveyance of the
Premises in its entirety shall be permitted, provided that any such conveyance is
subject to, and consistent with, the terms of this Conservation Restriction;

activities do not materially and adversely impair the Conservation Values or purposes of
this Conservation Restriction:
(1) Trails. The maintenance of currently existing trails located on the
Premises substantially in their present condition as shown in the BDR,
for the uses permitted herein, and, with prior approval of Grantee, the
relocation of existing trails, including clearing, grading, construction,
marking and maintenance (including, if necessary, the construction of
retaining walls, planking and bridges, or barriers to prevent motorized
access), provided that any new trails shall replace existing trails, and
that said existing trails shall be closed and abandoned after the new
trails are created, unless Grantee specifically approves the creation of
a new trail, and provided that the new trails will not materially and
adversely impair the Conservation Values of this Conservation
Restriction. Trails may be constructed of dirt, stone dust, gravel, or
other natural and pervious material; in no case may they be paved; no

environmental quality, and do not involve more than minimal use for
commercial recreational activities.
(4) Invasive Species. The removal of nonnative, nuisance or invasive
species of flora or fauna, and the control of such species in a manner
that minimizes damage to surrounding, non-target species and

Restriction, the terms "non-native" and "invasive species" shall be
defined as a species living outside its Native distributional range, which
has arrived there by human activity, either deliberate or accidental, and
which is likely to cause economic or ecological harm or harm to human
health.
(5) Wildlife Habitat Improvement. With the prior written approval of
Grantee, measures designed to restore native biotic communities, or to
maintain, enhance or restore wildlife, wildlife habitat, or rare or
endangered species including selective planting of native trees, shrubs
and plant species.
(6) Vegetation Management. In accordance with generally accepted forest
management practices, removing brush, selective pruning and cutting,
but not clear-cutting of trees and other vegetation to prevent, control or
remove hazards, disease or insect damage, fire or to preserve the
present condition of the Premises, including woods roads, fence lines
or trails;
(7) Site Restoration. Any work undertaken in conjunction with the
Reserved Rights described in this Paragraph B shall seek to minimize
disturbance to the Conservation Values and other natural features
within the Premises that may be impacted as a result of exercising of
any of the Reserved Rights described herein, and to Lake
Cochichewick. Upon completion of any site work performed in
conjunction with the Reserved Rights described in this Paragraph B,
any disturbed areas shall be restored substantially to the conditions
with respect to soil material, grade, and vegetated ground cover as
documented in the BAR, as applicable, or in conformance with the
conditions with respect to soil material, grade, and vegetated ground
cover that existed prior to said work, if said work is done in any area
not documented in the BDR.
5
57902624 v2
(8) Such other activities requested by the Grantor and expressly approved
in writing by the Grantee, provided a) the activities are consistent with
the purposes of this Restriction; b) the activities are not expressly
prohibited herein; and c) the activities will not impair the Conservation
Values or purposes of this Restriction.
The exercise of any right reserved by Grantor under this paragraph B shall be in
compliance with the then-current Zoning By-Law of the Town of North Andover, the
Wetlands Protection Act (Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 131, Section 40) and
all other applicable federal, state and local law. The inclusion of any reserved right in
this paragraph B requiring a permit from a public agency does not imply that the
Grantee or the Commonwealth takes any position as to whether such permit should be
issued.
2. Notice and Approval.
Whenever notice to or approval by Grantee is required, Grantor shall notify Grantee, by
a method requiring proof of receipt, in writing not less than 60 days prior to the date
Grantor intends to undertake the activity in question. The notice shall describe the
nature, scope, design, location, timetable and any other material aspect of the proposed
activity in sufficient detail to permit the Grantee to make an informed judgment as to its
consistency with the purposes of this Conservation Restriction. Where Grantee's
approval is required, Grantee shall grant or withhold approval in writing within 60 days
of receipt of Grantor's request. Grantee's approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, but shall only be granted upon a showing that the proposed
activity shall not materially and adversely impair the purposes of this Conservation
Restriction.
Subject to any applicable law or regulation, failure of Grantee to respond in writing
within 60 days shall be deemed to constitute approval by Grantee of the request as
submitted, so long as the request sets forth the provisions of this section relating to
deemed approval after 60 days in the notice, the requested activity is not prohibited
herein, and the activity will not materially and adversely impair the Conservation Values
or purposes of this Conservation Restriction.
3 LEGAL REMEDIES OF THE GRANTEE
A. Legal and Injunctive Relief.
The rights hereby granted shall include the right to enforce this Conservation Restriction
by appropriate legal proceedings and to obtain injunctive and other equitable relief
against any violations, including, without limitation, relief requiring restoration of the
Premises to their condition prior to the time of the injury complained of(it being agreed
that the Grantee will have no adequate remedy at law). The rights hereby granted shall
6
57902624 v2
be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights and remedies available to the
Grantee for the enforcement of this Conservation Restriction. Grantee agrees to
cooperate for a reasonable period of time prior to resorting to legal means in resolving
issues concerning violations provided Grantor ceases objectionable actions and
Grantee determines there is no ongoing diminution of the Conservation Values of the
Conservation Restriction.
Grantor covenants and agrees to reimburse to Grantee all reasonable costs and
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) actually incurred in enforcing this
Conservation Restriction or in taking reasonable measures to remedy, abate or correct
any violation thereof, provided that a violation of this Conservation Restriction is
acknowledged by Grantor or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
occurred. In the event of a dispute over the boundaries of the Conservation Restriction,
Grantor shall pay for a survey and to have the boundaries permanently marked.
B. Non-Waiver,
Enforcement of the terms of this Conservation Restriction shall be at the discretion of
Grantee. Any election by the Grantee as to the manner and timing of its right to enforce
this Conservation Restriction or otherwise exercise its rights hereunder shall not be
deemed or construed to be a waiver of such rights.
C. Disclaimer of Liability
By acceptance of this Conservation Restriction, the Grantee does not undertake any
liability or obligation relating to the condition of the Premises pertaining to compliance
with and including, but not limited to, hazardous materials, zoning, environmental laws
and regulations, or acts not caused by the Grantee or its agents.

under emergency conditions to prevent, abate, or mitigate significant injury to the

Restriction impossible to accomplish, this restriction can only be terminated or
extinguished, whether in whole or in part, by a court of competent jurisdiction under
applicable law after review and approval by the Massachusetts Secretary of Energy

then Grantees, on a subsequent sale, exchange, or involuntary conversion of the
Premises, shall be entitled to a portion of the proceeds in accordance with paragraph B
below, subject, however, to any applicable law which expressly provides for a different

eminent domain or other act of public authority, then the Grantor and the Grantee shall
cooperate in recovering the full value of all direct and consequential damages resulting
from such action. All related expenses incurred by the Grantor and the Grantee shall
first be paid out of any recovered proceeds, and the remaining proceeds shall be
distributed between the Grantor and Grantee in accordance with paragraph Ill. B —
above, after complying with the terms of any law, gift, grant, or funding requirements. If

under Section 170(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
applicable regulations thereunder and is eligible to receive this Conservation Restriction

circumstances. The Grantee will consider amendments only to correct an error or
oversight, to clarify an ambiguity, or where there is a net gain in conservation value. All
expenses of all parties in considering and/or implementing an amendment shall be
borne by the persons or entity seeking the amendment. Any amendment shall be
consistent with the purposes of this Conservation Restriction, shall not affect its
perpetual duration, shall be approved by the Secretary of Energy and Environmental
Affairs and if applicable, shall comply with the provisions of Art. 97 of the Amendments
to the Massachusetts Constitution, and any gifts, grants or funding requirements. Any

determination as to whether it is acceptable for approval by the Secretary. This procedure is recommended in situations in which
the gift is complex or the applicant needs guidance in drafting an acceptable document.Regardless of whether the applicant files
a draft or executed conservation restriction, all required attachments must be submitted for review.
The Division of Conservation Services,as part of its records retention program and in conjunction with the Massachusetts State
Archivist,will retain the grantee's baseline data in the State Archives at no cost. Grantees need only submit duplicate originals of

other instrumentality thereof,the local conservation commission must define the reasons for preserving the property and certify
that the restriction is in the public interest. (Please refer to page 7 of the Massachusetts Conservation Restriction Handbook)
iii The Secretary will find sufficient evidence of the"public interest" if the applicant can show that the restriction meets any of
the tests for deductibility under the Internal Revenue Service Code Section 170(h)and the Regulations promulgated thereunder,
or a private letter ruling by the Internal Revenue Service shall be deemed sufficient for establishing such deductibility, or the
applicant makes an independent showing of eligibility for deductibility.
The letter ruling or documentation demonstrating eligibility for deductibility should be attached along with this application.
Regardless of the intent of the grantor's gift.,the Secretary's determination of public interest will be dependent upon how well the
applicant demonstrates public benefit.The above tests(section B)are sufficient demonstrations of the public interest;however,
grantors should be advised that the Secretary reserves the right to require modifications to the conservation restriction where in
his/her opinion the retained rights adversely impact the public interest or natural resource values of the property or when the
document is improperly drafted.

construction of a now 38,760 SF Continuing Care Retirement Center(CCRC) with forty(40) units in the
"Small Home" style, There will be an access road and parking areas associated with the facility. The
parcel is 20.29 acres in size, and the construction area (including buildings, roads, and parking) is
approximately 1,57 acres (7.7%). This project is within the R-1 Zoning District. The CCRC Special
Permit was requested by Pond Pasture, LLC, 575 Osgood Street, North Andover, MA 0�1845, This
application was filed with the Planning Board oil August 18, 2016. The Applicant submitted a complete
application which was noticed and reviewed in accordance with Sections 10.3, 101.31, 11.3, and 13 of the
Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaw and MGL o.40A, see, 9
The Planning Board makes the following findings regarding this Special Permit as required by the North
Andover Zoning Bylaws Sections 10.3, 10.31, 11.3, and 13 (Special Permit, PDD, and CCRC) of the
Zoning Bylaw:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
I On October 5, 1989 the Applicant was issued a Continuing Care Retirement center (CCRC)
Special Permit,
2) On October 5, 1989 the Applicant was issued a Site Plan Review Special Permit for the
construction of a 125,812 SF, three story,250 dwelling units,and 45 bed long term nursing
facility of a Continuing Care Retirement Center, The Applicant is also seeking a modification to
the original Site Plan Review Special Permit,
3) The project area is located in the Watershed Protection District and the Applicant is requesting a
Watershed Protection District Special Permit.
4) The specific site is an appropriate location for the proposed use as it abuts the fully developed
CCRC Edgewood site.The proposed use will expand the existing CCRC use in this
neighborhood. In addition,the Town's Zoning Bylaw was amended at Town Meeting to allow for
such a use in this zoning district,
5) Section 13 of the Zoning Bylaw establishes a maximum number of 300 residential units in a
Continuing Care Retirement Center. The proposed project calls for the construction of 40 units to
be located in one building. These 40 units when added to the 241 existing units total 281 units
which is below tile maximum allowed. The number of units does not detract from the livability
and aesthetic qualities of the environment and which will provide for a mixture and diversity of
housing.
6) Per Section .1 3.5.e of the North Andover Bylaw the Applicant is required to have at least 50% of
Common Open Space. The Applicant has proposed approximately 75.4% of the parcel (15.3
acres) to be reserved for Common Open Space and the Applicant will place a Conservation
Restriction on said 15.3 acres,
7) The use as developed will not adversely affect the neighborhood as a sufficient natural buffering
has been provided. The final landscape design, site design layout, and architectural elevations
reflect extensive discussions between the Planning Board and Applicant to minimize the visual
impact and preserve the natural vistas.
8) There will be no thliSanCO 01' serious hazard to vehicles or pedestrians. 'rhe proposed parking lot
2
Continuing Care Retirement Center(CCRC)Special Permit Modification
Rear of 575 Osgood Street(0 Osgood Street)
November 1,2016
provides for adequate internal and external traffic flow, safety, and sufficient pedestrian
connections throughout the project and surrounding area. The project as proposed will have a
negligible impact on external traffic volume and will not significantly degrade the level of service
on Osgood Street or the roadway network.
9) The architectural style and design of the CCRC shall be of colonial design consistent with the
style and design of the nearby cottages and Edgewood Farm buildings.
10) The stormwater management plan has been reviewed b the Town's outside stormwater peer
y
review consulting engineer, Eggleston Environmental,
L Runoff from the impervious areas of the development will be directed through a closed
drainage system to two subsurface infiltration galleys with overflow discharge toward the
wetland and lake. The Applicant has altered the original drainage design to provide
improvements to the existing stormwater drainage system. These include revised runoff
rates and recharge requirements based on HSG B Soils and adjusting proposed infiltration
areas due to seasonal high groundwater elevations. (See email correspondence from L.
Eggleston, Eggleston Environmental,dated October 31,2016),
11) The project promotes an efficient use of land while protecting natural resources,such as water
resources, wetlands,wildlife, and natural vistas on the property. A portion of the property is
subject to a permanent Conservation Restriction of the type described in MGL Chapter 184,
Section 31,(including future amendments thereto and corresponding provisions in future laws).,
The Conservation Restriction will be placed on 15.3 acres of the property,
12) The Plan reflects extensive discussion with TEC, tile Town's civil peer review consultant. All
concerns were satisfactorily addressed, (See memo dated October 25,2016).
13) The preject will provide for municipal water, sewer and utilities on the property to adequately
address the needs of the project and has been determined acceptable by the Department of Public
Works.(See email correspondence dated October 25, 2016,).
14) The North Andover Fire Department Chief, William McCarthy, and Irrlieutenant Robert Bonenfant
reviewed the Plans and determined that the final design addresses all of the concerns the Fire
Department had over access to the Project for firefighting and rescue operations. (See memo
dated October It, 2016 and email dated October 26,2016).
15) The wetland delineation shown on the plans has been confirmed under all Order of Resource Area
Delineation under DEP File#242-1686.
16) Prior access and parking for Half Mile Hill was part of an approved Order of Conditions issued
under DEP File#242-1398. Three designated parking spaces have been relocated.
17) The new trail connection(from Half Mile Hill property to Edgewood "Small Home"property)
will require some work oil the Half Mile Hill property to connect the two trails.
18) Jennif'cr Hughes, Conservation Administrator, has reviewed the proposed project and has
indicated that the North Andover Conservation Commission (NACC) should approve the revised
parking area for Half Mile Hill and the necessary work for the trail connection (from Half Mile
Hill property to Edgewood "Small Home" property), (See J. Hughes memo dated October 18,
3
Continuing Care Retirement Center(CCRC) Special Permit Modification,
Rear of 575 Osgood Street(0 Osgood Street)
November 1,2016
2016),
19) Adequate and appropriate facilities will be provided for the proper operation of the proposed use,
and the use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this Zoning Bylaw.
