Home My WebLink AboutMiscellaneous - 1679 OSGOOD STREET 9/20/2011 (3) Tymon, Judy From: Willett, Tim Sent: Friday, September 10, 2010 11:46 AM To: Tymon, Judy Cc: Thibodeau, Bruce; Willis, Gene Subject: Proposed Subdivision at 1679 Osgood Street Hi Judy, I have reviewed the above referenced plan and offer the following comments. 1. The existing water main in Bradford Street is 12-inch diameter, not 8-inch as shown on the plans. 2. The Division of Public Works is pursuing the installation of sewerage facilities in Osgood Street and Bradford Street in this area. Therefore, this site opens up sewer possibilities for the surrounding areas. The Town should acquire a 30-foot wide sewer easement from Osgood Street to the proposed right-of-way. If the proposed roadway is to remain private,then the sewer easement should extend all the way to Bradford Street. Proposed drainage structures in the roadway should be moved to the side of the road to allow for future sewer installation in the middle of the road. Very truly yours, Timothy J. Willett Operations Manager Please note the Massachusetts Secretary of State's office has determined that most emails to and from municipal offices and officials are public records.For more information please refer to:htto://www.sec.state.ma.us/ore/oreidx,htm.

Based on the Definitive Subdivision Plan Tax Map 61 Lots 16, 34, 31, &4 revised May 20, 2011 by Jones &Beach Engineers Inc. Stratham, NH. I offer the following comments: 1. The inspector responsible for completion of Form N should be designated. 2. To my knowledge, neither the proposed pavement widths,nor the proposed hammerhead turnaround designs for the roadway off Saracusa Way accessing lots 16- 5, 16-6 & lot 31 have ever been accepted by DPW for roadway maintenance or trash pickup. If this roadway comes before the Town for acceptance as designed,the DPW will recommend against acceptance by the Town. 3. There are extensive drainage/runoff structures proposed outside the roadway right of way. DPW does not have the personnel to maintain these facilities. A homeowner's association should be established to maintain these facilities in perpetuity. a. The Board's decision should reflect this fact, preferably with deed restrictions on the individual lots. 4. The applicant is requesting a waiver from granite curbing. Curbing is essential to the structural integrity of the road edge. Should the board grant this waiver, DPW requests that the 12" gravel sub base be extended for the 4' shoulder width on both sides of the road. 5. The applicant is requesting a waiver of the 26' required pavement width to 24' in Saracusa Way. This request is not listed in their request for waivers. 6. The applicant is proposing 14' wide pavement accessing lots 16-5, 16-6 & lot 31. This width is not adequate for two way traffic. 7. DMH 1, 2, & 3 should be moved closer to the roadway centerline. 8. The water main shows offsets around CB 2 and CB4 and close to DMH4. It should be moved closer to roadway centerline to allow for a straighter alignment. Page 2 06/22/11 9. Certified as-built plans will be required for all retaining walls installed in the project. 10. All driveway culverts should be a minimum 12"diameter. 11. Engineer should verify the 12"outlet pipe from DMH#3 is large enough for expected flow volumes. 12. A manufacturer's detail for the setting bed requirements and material for ADS pipe should be provided. Sincerely, Eugene P. Willis, P.E.

On two fairly recent occasions, the activation of residential sprinklers in homes on Carter Field and Sugar Cane Lane save the homes from more substantial damage. In both instances, the residents had left the premises. The most recent statistics, provided by the National Fire Protection Agency, show that the cost of installing residential sprinklers in the home is $ 1.35 per square foot. Therefore, the cost to install these same sprinklers in a 3000 square foot home would be approximately$4, 100.00. This cost hardly seems prohibitive. In closing, the Fire Department will continue to recommend residential sprinklers as they are a valuable tool in the quest to insure the safety of the citizens of North Andover.
