Dear Bill; 1 have just received the plan from Charles E. Cyr Engineering at 3:45 p.m. on July 79 19808 This makes it not only extremely difficult to respond in writing to the board it also cost the applicant more money because the commmnications between myself and Mr. Minicucci were not clearly presented by the engineer. Changes on the plan will be required if the board choosed to follow my recommendations. 1 recommend that the trough across the driveway be 12" wide instead of 8" as shown. Grating to be heavy duty prepainted steel with bars running parallel with driveway. Catch basin to be standard reinforced concrete 4 foot basin unit with cone top and standard frame and grate. Reinforcing rods to be used in concrete trough. Existing 8" drain line to be replaced with 12" reinforced concrete pipe with a minimum 30" of cover over pipe. Twelve inch pipe to be extended 121 into a stone tapered and flared head wall to receive all drainage directed to swale from the hill. If this is done properly it should elimi-nate any drainage problems that may exist and also protect the problem in a permanent manner. Very truly yours, William A.

CIVIL ENGINEERS AND SURVEYORS 300 CANAL STREET LAWRENCE,MASSACHUSETTS 01840 May 19,1980 North Andover Planning Board 120 Main Street North Andover, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Chairman, As per our conversation on Saturday morning at property located on Great Pond Road, we submit the following information for the Boards Review, Profile cross-sections showing driveway west side of proposed dwelling and east side of dwelling. Both profiles indicate existing and proposed grades as well as the final slope gradient. It is our recommendation to the Board that the only consideration should be the westerly driveway as shown on previously submitted plan. drawn by our firm and dated March 1980. Our recommendation is only after carefully scrutinization and applying solid engineering practices. We cannot recommend and alternate or modification to our plan without adversely effecting the natural drainage of this property. The westerly drive scheme when implemented will cause or have no adverse drainage or effect on land now owned by William Driscoll. If the easterly driveway scheme were utilized besides an impossible slope of 12.6% (Percent) it would act as a drainage way because of abrupt intersection to the existing grades. This scheme would direct surface water right to Great Pond Road and in the winter months cause some icying in the roadway area. 2_ In answer to previous questions requested by the Board relative to erosion control, it is our opinion that staked hay bales placed on the edge of the disturbed area will be sufficient to prevent siltation or erosion of or to the undisturbed area. These bales will be properly maintained throughout the project, Yours truly, w . James J. Curran, III Cyr Engineering Services, Inc. i' JJC/lt JOHN P. THOMPSOW CHAIRMAN RAYMOND J. CANTY GEORGE H.
