To: North Andover Planning Board V per ��;,a August 15, 1996
From: The residents of White Birch Estates
Re: The construction of L-COM's new office/manufacfuri -facility on Lot 2A on
Beechwood Drive (off Osgood Street)
At the public hearing on July 16th, L-Com introduced a new set of plans that incorporated many
of the changes requested by the planning board. However there are still several matters left unresolved.
9. Although one member of the board was emphatic that the issue has been 'put to rest', we request
are regularly granted and in that e_of parkin . The board acknowledged that exceptions similar to ours
that the board reexamine the
spirit, we would ask you to be open minded and read the reasoning
behind our request.
At the hearing, L-Cam was unable to provide any sort of argument to justify the need for the second
parking lot (on the northern side of the building) other than to say they needed the some of the spots for 1
older worker and for handicap parking. Excellent reasons, however that would only account for
approximately 4-6 of the 27 spaces the plan calls for. Some very large beech and pine trees will be lost
to all the other unnecessary spaces. As far as the total number of spaces goes,the primary or west lot
calls for 44 spaces. L-Com currently employs 33 people. L-Com has stated that on any given day, they
receive only 1 or 2 business visitors and that this part of their business is unlikely to change. They also
stated that after school 3-4 family members might visit or drop off children. Using L-Cam's numbers,the
primary lot can not only handle all of the current employees, it can also handle all visitors. L-Cum's 4 year
business plan calls for them to add approximately 10 new employees. If growth goes above that,they
plan to do one of two things: 1. they would move the entire operation and build on a larger lot of land they
own in Haverhill, 2.they would convert this building into all storage/assemble and move all office
personnel into a new 2 story office building they would build next to this building. If they grow and choose
option 1,they obviously don't need the extra parking spaces. If they choose option 2,the new building
will have its own parking lots, and the number of people working in the building in question will actually go
down (that's the nature of warehouses--big buildings, small work force). Either way,they cannot show a
need for more than approximately 50-56 spots (33 current employees + 10 new employees+3 handicap
spats+ 4-10 visitor/misc. spaces).
Based on L-Cam's own numbers, we ask the board to prevent the building of at least 15-20 parking
he u . wer- art of the north -_. ..- .
for
VRq
the spots.If a need can be demonstrated (which according to them la can I a need
_.�...112t_ P_r _ ._ .._. _..P....._.. . .. until... g crown_,__._111.-..extra..............
such time „
demonstrate
_ s s melt'-use yam,
we would request that the board approve not more than 20 spaces for the north lot (bringing the total
number of spaces at the building to 64, the limit for a building of this size)
At the very least, we request that the board require the elimination of 7 of the spaces in the north lot. As
stated above,the minimum requirement for a building of this size/use is 64 and since it seems complete
likely that the current owners will never use 1/3 to 1/4 of the spaces called for in their plan, it is completely
reasonable to have no more spaces than the the minimum of 64. As with all of our requests concerning
this building, we are not trying to be bothersome; we are simply trying to minimize the impact of a huge
building next to a residential neighborhood. And towards that end, we ask that you realize that our
request will not harm or negatively impact the successful operation of the business in any way.
2. Hours of operation. At the hearing on the 16th,the board discussed limiting the hours of
from, I -� p Monday . Friday. We request that the board set these
.9p eration rom, believe, lam to 10 m, an a through
1
limits. K the board ka uncomfortable with these hours, we request that the matter im discussed and settled
cd the hearing nn8/8/A6.
3. Lastly, many ofum have sat through several planning board hearings and while generally pleased
with what occurs, we are particularly disturbed by the comments and attitudes of one member of the
board. This member seems to take the attitude that homeowners are nothing more than a big pain in
everyone's butt and every request is nothing short of harassment of business owners. After the board
has come to agreement and settled a question or dispute in favor of homeowners,this board member has
stated on several occasions to the business owner, 'not to worry, come see me and I'll take care of it',
suggesting that once us pain-i n-the-b utt homeowners aren't looking,this board member will arrange for
the board's decision in favor of the home owner\obechanged. In particular and as it relates to the L-
Com building, after the board had discussed and come to a general consensus limiting the hours of
operation for L'[|onnatthe new building, thi&member stated to the owners o[ L-Com"don`t worry about
this, just come see mne and we'll change ittu whatever you naed." This was insulting 10 us, and weseek
the board's binding assurance that this board member was mistaken when he spoke as he did; we wish
be guaranteed that.thin s like i�jin hours, number ofyalk i tiQ% tq. cannot be arbitrari
,��Enq d without additional prior notice to us and/or without additional public hearings.
Obviously, the attitude and perceptions of this board member are wrong. As homeowners/citizens iiio
our job to convince you --the entire board --that our requests are meaningful and reasonable, |fweare
indeed able to convince you that our requests make sense and should be implemented, neither you oruo
should feel that our efforts were just oo much wasted breath. U you agree that there isa member ofthe
planning board who speaks too loudly,too frequently, and with a certain degree of arrogance, we
encourage each of you at public hearings to let this gentleman know that his manner is disconcerting and �
discouraging to citizens who are simply trying to preserve and protect their families and homes as best
they can. �
Sincerely,

Re: Lot 2A Beechwood Drive (L-Com Facility)
Dear Ms. Colwell,
I hereby certify that the work performed on the above referenced lot is in
substantial compliance with the Site Plan that was approved by the Planning Board, with
the following exceptions:
1. Minor alterations were made to various pavement areas, as follows:
A. The parking lot to the east of the building was extended
approximately 10' to the northeast beyond what was shown on the
approved plan.
B. The parking lot to the north of the building was altered by
eliminating one space in the northeast corner and by adding a small
turnaround area at the eastern end of the parking lot.
C. The pavement around the eastern and southern ends of the loading
area behind the building has been constructed with slightly different
configurations
2. A rip-rap slope and ward rail were installed along the edge of the driveway
in the back of the facility, near the maintenance and loading area.
3. Stormwater Infiltration Area "A", which was to have been installed in the
parking lot to the north of the building, was relocated to the southwestern
corner of the lot. This modification was presented for review to the
Planning Department and to the Planning Board's consultant, Coler &
Colantonio, Inc.

Dear Mr. McIntosh:
We have received a copy of your February 27,2001 comments regarding the above
referenced project, and we offer the following response. Our responses have been
numbered to match the numbering of your comments.
1. The design of the infiltration area is consistent with the approved infiltration areas
for the existing parking lot drainage. The catch basin grate will be installed
directly over a 4-foot diameter pre-cast manhole riser section,which will act as a
sediment sump. The manhole riser will be lined with a filter fabric to allow for
drainage through the sump and to prevent over-excavation during sediment
removal procedures. Maintenance procedures for the proposed infiltration area
will be similar to those for the existing infiltration areas. Sediment shall be
removed from the sump when the depth of the sediment reaches 12 inches deep.
2. The test pit and perc test locations performed on the site in 1996 have been added
to the plan. The Soil Evaluation Forms for the tests are included in the attached
Drainage Analysis.
3. The attached Drainage Analysis includes the calculations that support the sizing
of the infiltration area.
4. The location of the proposed siltation control fence has been added to the plan.
I trust that these responses, along with the enclosed Drainage Analysis and revised plan,
fully address all of your comments. Please contact me if you have any questions
regarding this matter.

FOR THE PROPOSED
PARKING LOT EXPANSION
AT
LOT 2A
BEECHWOOD HILL DRIVE,
NORTH ANDOVER, MASS.
DATE: APRIL 30, 2001
PREPARED FOR:
L-COM
A drainage analysis has been performed to verify that the proposed stormwater
infiltration area has been adequately sized to infiltrate the runoff from the proposed
expansion of the parking lot. The "HydroCAD" Stormwater Modeling System has been
used to calculate the post-development runoff rates and to design the stormwater
infiltration area. The infiltration area as designed will have adequate capacity to recharge
all of the runoff from a 100-year storm event.
The parking lot expansion will be graded such that only the new pavement area
will drain into the infiltration area. As indicated on Page 2 of the attached HydroCAD
report the 7050 square feet of new pavement will produce 0.07 acre-feet of runoff at a
peak runoff rate of 0.99 cfs during a 100-year storm.
As indicated on Page 3 of the attached HydroCAD report the design exfiltration
rate for the infiltration area is 0.14 cfs over the 750 square foot bottom area. This rate is
based on the accepted rate of 8.27 inches per hour for sandy soils(see Table 2:
Hydrologic Soil Properties Classified by Soil Texture). The tests performed for the
adjacent septic system included percolation rates of less than 1 minute per inch. (Copies
of the Soil Evaluation Forms for the testing performed on site area included at the back of
this report.) The available storage volume within the infiltration area was based on an
assumed ratio of 40% open space to 60% crushed stone.

Be: Engineering Review for Lot%ABeec6wood Hill-Parking Lot Expansion
North Andover,MA i
Dear Heidi: |
VHB has reviewed the plan of proposed parking lot expansion for Lot 2A Beechwood Hill submitted by
Dutton&Garfield,Inc.There appears tobe information that is missing from the submittal. We offer the
following comments:
1. The Applicant should submit a narrative describing the anticipated etornzw/u(erbreotooentfor
proposed parking lot expansion.
2. The Applicant should determine the seasonal high water table elevation for proposed infiltration
area.Typically,test pits and/or percolation tests are performed.
3. Infiltration calculations for proposed 75'x 10'infiltration area must be included to verify that
proposed infiltration area has adequate capacity to handle the additional pavement runoff.
4. Erosion and sedimentation control measures should be added tn the plan.
VH8 recommends that the Applicant furnish this information before webe ' dbeeo engineering �

Should you have any questions or require any additional information,please feel free to contact me at �
your convenience. �
