North Andover (MA) Planning Board - August 11, 2026

The North Andover (MA) Planning Board held a meeting on August 11, 2026, primarily addressing site plan reviews and special permits related to local development projects. Key procurement-related discussions included the City of Lawrence Municipal Airport Commission's site plan review for improvements at 492 Sutton Street, which involved approval of stormwater management plans, installation of an additional fire hydrant, and conditions related to a future restaurant tenant. The board approved the site plan, parking reduction, and landscape modification permits with conditions, including compliance with lighting standards and securing a bond of $10,000 for project contingencies. Additionally, the board reviewed an application for a detached accessory dwelling unit at 291 Massachusetts Avenue, which requires a zoning board of appeals (ZBA) finding due to nonconforming setbacks. The board agreed to continue this matter to a future meeting pending ZBA action. Other agenda items included updates on environmental habitat mapping and approval of previous meeting minutes. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the meeting involved decisions that could influence future procurement and construction activities at the municipal airport and local development sites.
