North Andover (MA) Zoning Board of Appeals - October 13, 2026

The North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals held public hearings on October 13, 2026. The board considered the owners’ request for a special permit to convert the existing two-family dwelling at 2–4 Wilson Road into a four-unit multifamily dwelling and a variance for the front setback. Discussion focused on disputed easements and property lines, an incomplete land-swap agreement with neighbors, and whether the submitted plans accurately reflected current conditions. The board did not resolve the application that evening; the matter was continued so the parties could provide accurate, certified plans. The continuation date is unclear in the transcript.

The board approved Gourmet Specialty Foods LLC’s variance request for a wastewater-treatment shed at 100 Willow Street, allowing a 19-foot front setback where 50 feet is required (31 feet of relief). The applicant said the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District required additional treatment before discharge to the municipal sewer. The board also heard an appeal concerning Marble Ridge Winery’s claimed agricultural protection under the Dover Amendment and related uses at the property. It voted to continue that appeal to December 22, 2026, with further information and investigation to be provided. No procurement, contract awards, or purchasing decisions were identified.
