This will be imperative in order to provide access of construction vehicles to the site during construction and, more importantly,to allow the fire trucks to safely return to the premises once the building is operational. o I have spoken to the property owner (Mr. Zahouriko) on the east side of the property. He understands that we do not have the space for any plantings on the fire station side of the property line so he is going to add screening on his side of the property line. • The dumpster will remain as on the original plans in the corner on the east side. If the dumpster was to be moved to the south side of the corner, this would hinder snow to be pushed into that corner until removal is possible. I spoke to Mr. Zahouriko about this issue and he understands and accepts why it needs to be left in its original location.

The plan legend as shown is incomplete. 2. Does the proposed new hydrant's proximity to the electric transformer create a potential safety concern? 3. For cost savings, would a Siamese connection at the building be sufficient for fire protection rather than the proposed, free standing hydrant as shown on the east lot line? 4. There does not appear to be sufficient cover over drain line from north CB to WQI-3. Labelling obscures elevations on other structures. Cover should be verified for all drain lines. 5. For cost savings, are catch basins necessary at the WQI manholes? 6. Would it be possible to change the drain manhole type at WQl-1 , 2, & 3 to a deep sump manhole with an inlet frame and grate creating points that the parking areas drain to? Would setting these frames' elevation to a low point below elevation 164 allow for the elimination of proposed catch basins and shallow pipes? 7.

Our proposed oonmm000| responses are an follows and are in the same order as they were provided in your letter: %. The Revised Site Plan drawings have updated legend, 2. The proposed transformer in 10 feet from the proposed hydrant will be protected by bollards. We do not anticipate a safety concern. 9. The DJozib Andover Iqn: Department (0AID) has requested u free standing hydrant. The plans have been revised io have uoB-iuobDICl.water pipe,stemming to two 6-incb DXCLpipes (one to the hydrant and n mc000d to the building for potable water and fire protection). 4. We have revised the grading the in the visitors parking lot to provide for 15-iocbes of cover over the 8-inch SI)Il17 drain pipe. 5. Based on m negative Qegount for Determination of Applicability (RD/\) from the Conservation Commission, water quality inlets (W()l) are not required. Standard drain nmumbo|en to provide additional auroy volume and oil water separation are proposed. 6. Based on n negative RDA' WOIo are not required. The invert elevations of the pipes now entering standard drain o)uoholco are dictated by the elevations of the infiltration areas and the ucnd to ak>ue the lOO'ysar storm volume. The elevations are also dictated Willis Eugene July 30,2014 Page 2o[2 by the shallow 0pnoodwutnr at the Site, the groundwater relation to the bottom of the infiltration areas, and the need for minimum pipe slopes. We have divide the small I- acre site into four distinct proposed drainage areas and we can make minor adjustments 10 the proposed grading (as indicated in the visitors parking amoo) but it we need to increase the pipe cover oiAoifiomoUy, it would ozguimo bringing in additional fill and raising the Site. In lieu of bringing in fill, we have used a 1/2-inch thick walled pipe that io rated for lOO pounds per square inch. 7, lA/e have relocated DD0H-I to the grass paver area amrequested. Q. The proposed sewer line label on Sheet C4.0D has been changed bm6 inches. 9. Based on a oogudvc RDA, we do not need to remove Total Suspended Solids (T8S) to meet the more stringent Massachusetts SLoromwu0or Management Policy. Standard drain manholes will be used to provide additional sump capacity for TSS removal. 10. At the request of Eggleston Environmental the 36-iuub diameter pipe has been changed 0m u llQ-fbut-long, 3-font by 2-foot box culvert in order to better mimic the geometry of the eximdVgmwva6n. The invert elevation ioimEl. 158.6 and the invert out ioEl. 157.32. The pipe has a slope ofl.l796 and will be H-20 rated. 11.

Cc: file, Bruce Thibodeau, Ray Santilli 'TOWN OF NORTI I ANDOVER DIVISION OF PUBLIC WORKS 384 OSGOOD STRE"ETNORTH ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETT'S 01 845-2909 • CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT Community Development Division MEMORANDUM DATE: June 30,2014 TO: Planning Board John Simons, Chairman FROM: Jennifer Hughes, Conservation Administrator On behalf of the North Andover Conservation Cominission(NACC) CC: Ray Santilli, Assistant Town Manager Curt Bellavance,Community Development Director Louis Napoli, Chairman NACC SUBJECT: Fire Station,Comer of Chickering Road and Prescott Streets Prior to the Planning Board hearing on the Chickering Road/Prescott Street Fire Station, I wanted to update you on the requirements of the NACC regarding the site. On several other development projects (West Mill, Brooks School), applicants have been required to file at least an RDA when they have proposed changes to existing drainage that outlets to or that could potentially alter a wetland resource area. To be consistent, the town's proposal to change the drainage at the site at the intersection of Prescott and Chickering Road should be held to the same standard. There is a swale with Bordering Vegetated Wetland characteristics along Chickering Road/Route 125 within the Mass Highway Layout. To receive a Negative Determination(essentially a determination of no impact),the town would need to show that this Swale was constructed for drainage purposes and has only developed wetland characteristics due to the fact that it has not been properly maintained for many years. This would also involve showing that the swale does not drain to or from an existing wetland resource area. Plans I have seen show that the Swale does drain to Cochichewick Brook several hundred feet away, so the town should also show that all new stormwater will be handled on-site and not be discharged into the swale. If you have any questions regarding the Commission's requirements, please let me know. I have spoken with Lisa Eggleston, stormwater peer review consultant, and she is aware of the Commission's request as well. 1600 Osgood Street,Suite 2035,North Andover,Massachusetts 01845 Phone 918.688.9530 Fax 978.688.9542 Web www.townofnorihandover.com Enright, Jean From: Santilli, Ray Sent: Friday,June 27, 2014 10:09 AM To: Bellavance, Curt; Enright,Jean Subject: FW:Traffic plan for proposed new fire station Ray Santilli Assistant Town Manager Town of North Andover 120 Main Street North Andover, MA 01845 Phone 978.688.9516 Fax 978.688.9556 Email rantilli@townofnorthandover.corn Web www.townofnortliandover.com �_ll�Illfl i 9i From: Gallagher, Paul Sent: Friday, June 27, 2014 10:08 AM To: Santilli, Ray Subject: Traffic plan for proposed new fire station Mr. Santilli, have reviewed the proposed traffic lights and traffic plan of the new fire station with my traffic unit and command staff.
