Dear Lincoln,
Page 1 of 2
On behalf of my neighbors below the 10 year old Foxwoods/Weyland Crl developement and the new Whispering
Pines Development on Salem Street (WP) currently under development, i want to thank you for sharing our
concerns regarding water drainage from the Wood Chuck Hill that these developments are built into. We
appreciate that you spoke to many of our concems at the Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting on Tuesday July
181'.we really appreciate the exploration of these issues you are currently conducting.
Yesterday, we also spoke about these developments and their impact on our homes, yards, basements,
and neighborhood in regards to water drainage. Following, I should like to summarize the key points of this phone
conversation.
1. 1 asked why the planning board has required the developer of Whispering Pines to ensure water conditions of
the easterly abutter to Whispering Pines will be protected, but the westerly abutters and adjacent neighborhood do
not appear to be a concern. Why? You were not able to answer that but offered that you would seek the answers.
2a. We discussed the fact that the developer of Foxwoods/Weyland Circle did not meet the requirements of the
town to diverge water from Weyland Circle to the SouthWest side of WoodChuck hill into Harold parker Forest and
that instead it runs down on the properties along Salem Street. You expressed concern over this and said you
would explore possible steps that the town and/or developer of Whispering Pines might take to address this issue.
2B. Since the town did not return the $20,000 of bond money that it received to ensure that the Weyland Circle
Developer build the swale to redirect the water, because it was more profitable for the developer to give up his
bond money than to actually do the necessary construction to protect the citizens of Salem Street, Fuller Farm,
etc. 1 asked where is that money and could it be used as it was intended which was to ensure proper management
of water runoff from Weyland Cirie. You said that you would look into this.
3. 1 said that it would appear that a main reason why the Developer of WP to request a variance to build lower on
Wood Chuck hill would be in order to do less cutting into the hill and therefore reduce his costs. I inquired if it may
be appropriate for the developer to use some of those saved dollars to deal with harmful drainage of water across
its rather steep property. You had agreed that to be a reasonable idea to explore.
4. 1 had inquired to the existence of documents and communications between the Town chosen engineering firm,
Color and Colantonio, and the Town Planning Board. You were not sure of their whereabouts but you would locate
them or get them from Color and Colantonio. You seemed to agree that these documents would be integral to the
ongoing monitoring of the WP Developement by the Town appointed monitor so that certain conditions are not
ignored by the Whispering Pines Developer as they were by the Weyland Circle developer.
5. It is my understanding that if problems with the old or new plan for development of Whispering Pines (Wp)
which were overlooked but do become apparent, that the Town would have the obligation and desire to address
them. Would that be a correct understanding?
6. In regards to the mysterious 2 inch pipe sending water down the hill towards Salem Street from Weyland Circle,
you had said the DPW was investigating that and that some time next week we would likely be able to discuss
their findings. E C E �i jr �= r `i

Town of North Andover July 18, 2006
Zoning Board of Appeals,
Community Development Division
North Andover, MA 01845
Public -hearing, July 18, 2006on the application of Whispering Pines Realty
Trust.
Concern: Rain and melt water run-off from the northern side of Woodchuck Hill
North Andover.
On July 5, 20061 raised the issue of rain and melt water run-off from Woodchuck
Hill which, we fear that the Whispering Pines Development will increase the run-
off. Here are the reasons for our fears.
1. The Plan of Swale at Weyland Circle in North Andover, MA dated June 26,
1998, and the Drainage Remediation Plan, Foxwood Drive, North Andover, MA
dated August 16, 2001 and revised September 21, 2001 both include an Earth
Swale surrounding the outer perimeter of the Weyland Circle North to South with
the intention to lead off rain and melt water to the Harold Parker State Forrest.
There is no Swale, and has never been. Any run-off is free to take the shortest
path down the hill. Was the bond amount lower than the cost for the developer to
comply with the requirements?
2. The developer of the Weyland Circle installed a 2" pvc drainage pipe in the
hillside below lots 16 and 17 of Weyland Circle. The drain flows onto the
Whispering Pines property and follows the low line in W -NW direction, dumping
water onto the properties of Salem St 871, 855, 835, 817 and 805.
3. Study of the elevation lines above lots 3 and 4 of the Whispering Pines
development reveals a 16132 foot slope South to North with a clear low line run-
off W -N -W. There is no specific requirements for the protection of the westerly
abutters, only to the east.
In summary
It is our opinion that the Town of North Andover has failed to enforce standard
requirements with the purpose of providing protection for the properties of the
existing abutters to the Weyland Circle, and apparently is following the same
path again.
Recommendations made in the Engineering review, Coler & Colantonio March
20, 2001 were more or less ignored. We were not informed of the hearing that
led to the Planning board's approval of the development of the Whispering Pines
property in early 2006.
JUL 1 8 2006 U
BOARD OF APPEALS
The Town has not monitored the Foxwood development properly and therefore
failed us, the long term abutters to the Woodchuck Hill. In May of 2006 ducks
found a pond on the front lawn of 817 Salem Street.
The actions of the Planning Board of North Andover indicate that there is no
master pian for the building developments, treating each application separately
without reviewing upstream downstream effects individual decisions.
We fear the Whispering Pines Development could become a repeat performance
and appear here today to call public attention to these issues.
Respectfully,
The owners of Salem Street properties 817, 835, 855, 871 and 895.

Re: Whispering Pines Realty Trust, Dean Chongris Trustee
Board of Appeals:
As homeowners whose property directly abuts the proposed development for which a variance
is being requested, we would like to enter into record that we have concerns regarding how the
variance will impact our property.
Because the proposed variance would allow the new construction to be closer to our existing
structure, we are would like assurance that an adequate landscape buffer will be included in the
plan to maintain our privacy and to provide a barrier from the noise from Salem Street traffic and
the new subdivision. As it stands now, the complete removal of the trees and vegetation from
the lower half of the property has already caused an increase in the amount of noise we are
subjected to daily, a situation we are sure will get worse in the winter.
Although we are unable to attend the July 18, 2006 public hearing because we will be out of
town, we respectfully request that we be notified of any action taken at the meeting and also
that we be notified of any further issues regarding the proposed subdivision.
Sincerely,
Joe and Monica immons

Hello,
I was in your office earlier this week discussing the variance request
for Whispering Pines and how it would affect our property on Foxwood
Drive.
I am attaching a copy of the letter I am submitting by mail since we
cannont attend the meeting. I know you needed to get the packages for
the meeting together this week so I hope it is not too late to have our
letter included with the other information.
Thank you for all of your assistance and all of the helpful information
that you provided during my visit to your office.

Town of North Andover July 5, 2006
Zoning Board of Appeals,
Community Development Division
North Andover, MA 01845
Public hearing , July 18, 2006on the application of Whispering Pines Realty
Trust.
Concern: Rain and melt water run-off from the northern side of Woodchuck Hill,
North Andover.
The run-off of melt- and rain water form Woodchuck Hill, on to the properties
along Salem Street between Summer Street and Foxwood Drive, has gradually
increased to unacceptable proportions since the development of Foxwood drive
and Weyland Circle. With the recent approval of the development of four houses
on the Red Gate Realty Trust property we fear for further increased run-off and
request that the Town of North Andover take action to prevent the ongoing
damage to our properties and ensure that any developments under way do not
add new run-off. See photo from May 15, 2006 817 Salem St front lawn.
When the Town approved the development of Foxwood Drive and Weyland
Circle on Woodchuck Hill, the permit was conditional on the construction of a
deflection conduit for run-off water from the north side of Woodchuck Hill, below
Wayland Circle, to the south side draining into the Harold Parker State Forrest.
This was never implemented. A recent review shows no traces of a deflection
conduit but one 2" drain pipe in a man-made funnel like depression directing
water from Wayland Circle basements down the northern side of the hill. The
erosion caused by the water over the years has created a creek discharging the
water onto Salem St 805, 817, 835, 855 and 871.
The steepest slope on the Red Gate Pasture, located on Lot 3, drops 16 over 32
feet distance. This slope is located close to the westerly stone wall. The run-off
water we have experienced, prior to the start of construction on Red Gate
Pasture, comes along the westerly stone wall. We request that measures be
taken to reduce the current flow from Weyland Circle and prevent addition flow
from the new construction.
Sincerely,
G6ran Bringert

Re: Red Gate Pasture Subdivision, North Andover
Variance application
Dear Madam Chairman:
June 20, 2006
Please accept this letter as a memorandum in support of the request for a variance for the
above referenced property. The particular supporting information as required by the
application is outlined below.
A. The particular use proposed for the land or structure.
The proposed use for the property is as a 4 lot residential subdivision. The property is
currently approved for a four lot conventional subdivision, however the applicant would
like to develop the property with four lots in a cluster fasion.
B. The circumstances relating to soil....which do not affect generally the zoning
district in which the property is located.
The property slopes upward from the roadway from an elevation of 143 to 300. The
development is currently approved to occur up to an elevation of 220. Developing the
property under a cluster provision would allow the disturbance to below the 200
elevation, requiring less cutting in to the land, less runoff, and provide the opportunity to
grant open space to the town..
C. Facts which make up the substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, which
would result from literal enforcement of the applicable zoning restrictions with
respect to the land or the buildings for which the variance is sought.
Since the requirement for a cluster development is to have 10 acres of land and a 50 foot
buffer zone around the perimeter of the land a cluster development is not possible. The
shape of the property also limits the ability to comply with the 50 foot buffer zone since
the property is so narrow.
_ 4
D. Facts relied upon to support a finding that relief sought will be desired and
without substantial detriment to the public good.
The property is located in a single family residential zone. The use will remain as single
family dwellings. The grading, house locations, and cutting will be no closer to the
property lines and will not affect any abutters to any greater extent than is already
approved. The benefits include having the ability to provide more undeveloped land in
the vicinity of the abutters, less impervious area and therefore less runoff which then
requires a smaller detention basin. The town also gains open space to be added to the
ownership of the town.
E. Facts relied upon to support a finding that relief sought may be given without
nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of the ordinance.
The intent and purpose of the bylaw is to protect the inhabitants of the town and the
properties within the town. The specific intent of the cluster bylaw is to lessen the area
used for development and lessen the impacts of development of the town. By allowing
these variances the intent of the bylaw will be met..
F. Not Applicable.
I will be at your next meeting to make a presentation to the board and to discuss this
matter.
Sincerely,
C.
