RE: 701 Salem Street

Dear Mr, Chessia:
At our meeting on Monday;December 9, 1996, with Kathleen Colwell, we discussed the sit
design for the proposed commercial building. Many of the items on your review letter, dated
December 3, 1996, were discussed and resolved without requiring any revisions to the set of
plans, However, the following items of concern have been addressed for further clarification,
in an order consistent with your letter: .
ITEM 2 The Abbott Street driveway access has been relocated to improve vehicle
access. The drive-up teller has been relocated to allow for 3 lanes at
8.5 feet width for each lane.
ITEM 3 The project sign has been relocated on the-plan and shall be set in place at the
top of the.berm between the parking area and the detention pond. A detail of
the sign has been added(see sheet#3) based on a design by John Daly,
' chitect.
ITEM 6 Additional spot grades a-, -.dded to tl- : plans to enable the contractor to do
.finish grading, as intended, to remove water from the pavement surfaces.
i
ITEM 9 Handicap ramp locations have been revised.
ITEM 10 Footing drains have been eliminated. Only roof drainage will be collected and
discharged into the detention basin.
ITEM 14 The proposed detention basin has been designed to eliminate any potential
increase in the pear rate of runoff from the site. In addition, we spoke with Mr.
Hmurciak, who indicated that there are"no problems" with the drainage system
on Salem Street; there are no "as-built" drainage system plans; and the drainage
system is inaccessible, as the manhole covers are paved over,

RE: Site Development
Mathew Xenakis
Salem Street m North Andover,MA
Dear Ms. Colwell:
Relative to my correspondence of May 18, 1998, which was relative to our meeting on May
14, 1998 with Mr. Daley and me,Mr. Rand of North Andover DPW, Mr. Xenakis, Mr.
Matses, and Mr. Chongris the site contractor, the following is a summary of punch list items
and items of site construction still to be implemented on the project site. Based on the site
inspection, it was determined that some elements of site construction should be reconsidered
by the Planning Board, and at the request of Mr. Xenakis, those changes implemented on the
site, in order to allow the Planning Board to issue a Final Certificate of Compliance for the
project. These items are as follows:
FRONT OF SITE (DALE STREET)
1. Along the property line/street line, adjacent to the parking area located north of
the driveway, the sidewalk shall be saw cut, so that it is 5' wide, rather than 6'
as it currently is, and the pavement removed, and a loam and grass strip
constructed between the curbing and the sidewalk. In the grass strip, a fence
will be constructed, and terminate 1 space before the driveway entrance.
As an alternative to the above, in lieu of a fence, Mr. Xenakis proposes
construction of a woad guardrail which would be built in the loam and seed
planting strip.
2. Along the street line/property line in the parking area south of the driveway
entrance, the sidewalk will remain as is, but a fence will be constructed along the
layout line beginning 1 space back from the driveway entrance, and will
terminate near the hydrant. This will allow access to the hydrant located at the
end of the parking area.
Ms. Kathleen Colwell
September 24, 1998
Page 2
In lieu of the fence, Mr. Xenakis proposes construction of a wood guardrail
along the property line.
3, After the hydrants, Mr. Xenakis proposes the construction of a wood guardrail
along the top of slope of the detention area, and around it, extending along the
frontage on Abbott Street. The guardrail will also run along the pat-king lot
which faces Abbott Street.
SIDE OF SITE (ADJACENT TO ABBOTT STREET)
I Mr. Xenakis will continue the construction of a retaining wall east of the
utility pole and northwest of the transformer in accordance with Town Staff and
DPW recommendations.
2. Mr. Xenakis will construct a landscape fence along the sidewalk on Abbott
Street, west of the transformer, up to the Abbott Street driveway. In lieu of the
fence, he will construct a guardrail and plantings as set forth in the
specifications provided by Mr. Rand
3. The curbing adjacent to the building between the bump outs will remain in
place but 2 bollards will be added to the site, near the doorway, offset the bump
out in the building, so that vehicles are directed away from the building.
4"" The dumpster will be relocated to I of the rear parking spaces.
5. A separate plan will be prepared relating to the bank drive-up on the end oft e
building.
REAR OF SITE (ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL USE)
1. In lieu of afence, dense tree landscaping will be provided
