Howard, Conservation Adlministr for DATE: June 20 1996 RE: CHANNEL- #150 Flagship Drive With regards to issues surrounding construction of proposed detention ponds for the above referenced project, the North Andover Conservation Commission (NACC) is not opposed to construction within the water table or above the water table. Two schools of thought exist for construction of this type: a) detention ponds built within the water table facilitate wetland plant growth which in turn enhances the ability of the structure to attenuate pollution and improve water quality. Storage capacity is not lost because an outlet pipe placed at a pre-determined elevation within the pond maintains existing groundwater elevations; b) detention ponds built above the water table function in a similar manner but wetland vegetation is not likely to appear. It is also my understanding that maintenance may be somewhat easier with a „dry" pond. As stated, the NACC is not opposed to construction of either type and will defer to the judgment of the Planning Board and DPW.

With regards to the above referenced project,I anticipate making the Following recommendations to the Conservation Commission on Wednesday,July 10, 1996: • The proposed wetland replication area as shown on the plan of record is within an area restricted by a covenant agreement with adjacent homeowners. As a compromise,I will recommend to the Commission that they mandate 1:1 wetland replication in lieu of the ByLaw requirement of 2:1. Off-site replication is not an approvable option at this time and I am of the opinion that the chosen area is the aqLy location suitable for wetland creation; If I can be of further assistance or if clarification is required please do not hesitate to contact me.

Luongo, B.S., MCA Gate: May 2, 1997 To: Jerry ®iorio Fie: Proposed Tree Removal `150 Flagship give, N. Andover, MA I have examined the twenty or so marked trees on the West side of the above site and offer the following comments: The combination of some degree of construction - related root damage and altered drainage due to the creation of the immediately adjacent slope will probably have a negative impact on the health of the trees. Formerly in thick woods, the trees are now exposed to the full force of the wind. This situation typically results in an increased incidence of both breakage and uprooting, with the possibility of damage to persons or property. Should any of these trees fall on the slope or in the Swale at it's base, their removal would be more expensive and difficult after the grading and hydroseeding are done. For the above reasons, I agree that the removal of these trees makes sense, especially since they don't really offer much in the way of "screening" for anyone on the adjacent property. In fact, if the stumps are left in place, those of the hardwoods will send up vigorous sprouts or igSUcker growth" which will soon fill in at eye level.

I have received a letter from Michael A Luongo, a certified arborist, stating his concern that due to the damage to the root structure and the alteration in the drainage pattern theses trees may break and/or uproot causing damage to persons and property. Furthermore, the trees do not provide significant screening to adjacent properties. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me at 688-9535.

These are being made at the suggestion of our landscaper and will cost about 30% more than was in the Channel allowance for this work. The end result will, we believe, make the property more attractive and is completely within the spirit of the initial plan. It will now include irrigation for the front area which was not included earlier. I have attached the detail as supplied by Hennessey Landscape Services for your review. At their recommendation, we are using stone on the East and West immediate border areas of the building. We hope to begin this work early in June as soon as M.L., Inc. has completed their site work. Please call if you require any additional information.
