In order to ensure high-quality Development within the OSGOD
and to ensure design that respects the built and natural character
of North Andover, the following Design Standards are established.
These standards are intended to be flexible, and applied by the Plan
Approval Authority as appropriate to the Development as part of the
site plan review process to enable the purpose of this district to
be realized. While these guidelines apply to all site improvements
and Buildings and Structures, it is not the intent of this Part 9
to prescribe or proscribe use of materials or methods of construction
regulated by the State Building Code, but rather to enhance the appearance
of the built environment within an OSGOD. In the case of inconsistency
between applicable federal and state law, including without limitation
the State Building Code or life safety codes and these Design Standards,
the applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations shall
govern.
The placement of Buildings and Structures in an OSGOD shall:
A.
Provide for buffering of Buildings and Structures to adjoining properties
either within the proposed OSGOD or to adjacent land Uses. Such buffering
includes, but is not limited to: Landscaping, screening materials,
natural barriers, fencing, and related measures;
B.
Development should acknowledge Route 125 as its front entry. Rooftop
equipment shall be appropriately screened to avoid visual impacts
to residential Uses;
C.
Buildings adjacent to usable Open Space should generally be oriented
to that space, with access to the Building opening onto the Open Space;
D.
Provide street trees with tree grates or in planter strips, using
appropriate species to provide summer shade and winter light. Species
should be native, resistant to salt and drought, and be tolerant of
urban conditions;
E.
Orient Structures to provide pedestrian entrances to the sidewalk;
F.
Street Design Standards shall not be limited to defined rights-of-way
but shall also apply to Driveways and internal ways which function
as streets;
G.
Trash collection and dumpster locations shall be appropriately located
and screened to avoid adverse impacts on neighbors and neighboring
properties. Within a Development, the containment of all solid waste
storage and handling within the Building(s) of the Development is
encouraged; and
H.
Any loading docks or areas associated with the mixed-use Development
component shall be located to minimize (visual and operational) impacts
on the site and on neighboring properties.
A.
Create Open Space parks within the Development;
B.
Mature street trees have a high value to the Development; minimize
departures from Development standards that would impair the health
of a mature trees;
C.
Use landscape materials that are native, sustainable, requiring minimal
irrigation or fertilizer; and
D.
Encourage alternative and green paving materials to minimize stormwater
run-off.
The massing of Buildings shall:
A.
Avoid unbroken Building facades longer than 50 feet. Buildings shall
not be longer than 210 feet in length, unless waived by the PAA. In
approving Building lengths that exceed 210 feet, the PAA must find
that pedestrian circulation is enhanced by the provision of archways,
passageways, or other similar throughways;
B.
Mixed-use Buildings should incorporate the use of dual facades to
foster integration of Uses where appropriate;
C.
Provide a variety of Building heights and varied roofline articulation;
and
D.
Buildings on corner lots shall be oriented to the corner and public
street fronts. Parking and automobile access shall be located away
from the corners, where practical.
To the extent not inconsistent with or preempted by the State
Building Code, the following shall be considered as applicable:
A.
It is not intended that Buildings be totally uniform in appearance
or that designers and developers be restricted in their creativity.
Rather, cohesion and identity can be demonstrated by:
B.
Preferred exterior Building siding materials include brick, stone,
wood, cement and composite materials and other types of exterior siding
materials upon a determination by the PAA that the quality of such
siding will not detract from the aesthetics of the proposed Buildings.
C.
New Buildings. The design of new Buildings shall incorporate architectural
features such as:
(1)
Transom or clerestory windows above entrances, display windows
and projected bay windows are encouraged within commercial, retail,
and industrial Developments.

detailing on the first floor; and detailing at the roofline.
D.
Ground floor: transparent, open facades for commercial Uses at street
level;
E.
Middle floors: architectural features may include change in materials
and color and/or texture that enhance specific elements of the Building;
and
F.
Top floors. Clearly distinguish tops of Buildings from the facade
walls by including detail elements such as steep gables with overhangs,
parapets and cornices.
A.
Pedestrian Open Spaces and entrances.
(1)
Entries for residential Uses on the street (rather than from
the rear of the property);
(2)
Overhead weather protection shall be designed to minimize gaps
in coverage, except to accommodate street trees;

of such width and construction as will be adequate to accommodate
the volume and velocity of the run-off. However, no such easement
shall be less than 30 feet in width. If a proposed drainage system
would carry water across land outside the Development boundaries to
an approved outfall, appropriate drainage rights shall be secured
by the Applicant at the Applicant's expense, and shall be referenced
on the 40R Plan;
(3)
Discharging runoff directly into rivers, streams, watercourses,
or enlarging the volume, rate or further degrading the quality of
existing discharges/runoff is prohibited. Runoff shall be routed through
vegetated swales, using native species and other structural and nonstructural
systems designed to increase time of concentration, decrease velocity,
increase infiltration, allow suspended solids to settle and remove
pollutants. Such systems will utilize overland flow and re-infiltration
as priority techniques for the treatment of run-off;
(4)
Retention and detention ponds, and methods of overland flow
may be used to retain, detain and treat the increased and accelerated
runoff which the Development generates;
