The land for the Heather Dr. home was donated by Dikris Kazanjian,
a Raytheon employee who purchased the land when Raytheon moved
to Andover in the 1960’s. He never moved from Waltham and
offered to donate the lot to AVIS (Andover Village Improvement
Society) in 1994. The lot was too small for AVIS and Peggy Keck
suggested he contact Andover Community Trust. When the Town approved
the Rogers Brook sewer 2000, Andover Community Trust applied for
a comprehensive permit to build a single family home under the
LIP (Local Initiative Project) program. Approvals were required
and received from the Andover Housing Partnership Committee, the
Andover Board of Selectmen, the Massachusetts Department of Housing
and Community Development and the Andover Zoning Board of Appeals
before a building permit could be issued. The students from the
Greater Lawrence Technical School (along with their instructors)
completed the construction on this home in October 2006.
