RE: Selective removal of 7 trees located within the Buffer Zone to Bordering Vegetated
Wetland.
This is a follow up letter pertaining to your request to remove seven (7) trees which are in close
proximity to your home at 100 Vest Way and are within the Buffer Zone to Bordering Vegetated
Wetland. Two trees are at the rear of the property (south west corner) were damaged and/or
knocked down during a storm in February of 2015. The remaining five trees are in the front
yard and are identified and shown in the attached photos. The trees were identified in a letter
from Mr. Mancuso with accompanying photos dated May 11, 2015 and identified and reviewed
during a site visit by the Conservation Department on May 13, 2015. The trees which are
permitted to be removed are identified in the attached photos. All seven trees approved for
removal were observed to be dying and/or damaged. A tree was requested to be
limbed/pruned, however upon inspection the limb appears to overhang the wetland and the
tree is within the 25' No -Disturb Zone and as such is not permitted to be limbed/pruned at this
time (see last photo).
*Determination of property ownership is the responsibility of the homeowner.
Due to the potential danger imposed by the trees, the Conservation Department will permit
their removal to prevent possible injury or property damage. These cutting activities shall be
limited to the seven trees identified and shown in the attached photographs.
During the site visit the Conservation Department observed two piles of debris consisting of
brush, lawn clippings and leaves within the 25' No Disturbance Zone as well as two sheets of
plywood within the wetland (see attached photos). According to C. 178.2 of the North Andover
Wetland Protection Bylaw, "No person shall engage in the following activities: removal, filling,
dredging, discharging into, building upon, or otherwise altering or degrading the wetland
resource areas..." including any 100 -foot buffer zone (see also Wetland Protection Act
Regulations 310 CMR 10.55). As such, please remove all debris and dispose of it at an approved
facility such as the Cyr Recycling Center on Sharpners Pond Road. Removal of debris must be
1600 Osgood Street, North Andover, Massachusetts 01845
Phone 978.688.9530 Fax 978.688.9542 Web www.townofnorfhandower.com
completed by hand, no machinery is permitted to be within the resource area or the 25' No
Disturbance Zone.
The approved cutting will be subject to the following conditions:
❖ No machinery shall enter the 25' No Disturbance Zone.
❖ No work shall occur in resource areas.
❖ All tree limbs, brush, and other debris materials shall be taken off site and disposed of
properly.
❖ Stumps of the trees shall not be removed and shall be left in place. Stumps may be ground
down or cut flush with the landscape.
❖ Care shall be taken to prevent damage to surrounding trees during removal of the approved
trees.
❖ Upon completion of the tree removal, all disturbed areas shall be properly stabilized.
❖ The applicant shall notify this department immediately following completion of work for a
final site inspection.
❖ Areas within 100 -feet of wetland resource areas shall remain in a natural state and no further
vegetation shall be removed without the prior approval of the Conservation
Department/ Commission.
❖ This permit shall expire six months from the date of issue.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions or concerns in this
regard.

parties shall be notified in writing of their continuing legal responsibility to operate and maintain the
stormwater management BMPs and implement the Pollution Prevention Plan; and 2. The Operation
and Maintenance Plan for the stormwater BMPs is complete and will be implemented upon receipt of
the Certificate."
d) Post -construction pollution prevention and source control shall be implemented in accordance
with the long-term pollution prevention plan section of the approved Stormwater Report and, if
applicable, the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan required by the National Discharge Elimination
System Multi -Sector General Permit.
e) Unless and until another party accepts responsibility, the issuing authority shall presume that the
responsible party for maintaining each BMP is the landowner of the property on which the BMP is
located. To overcome this presumption, the landowner of the property must submit to the issuing
authority a legally binding agreement acceptable to the issuing authority evidencing that another entity
has accepted responsibility for maintaining the BMP, and that the proposed responsible party shall be
treated as a permittee for purposes of implementing the requirements of Conditions 18(f) through
18(k) with respect to that BMP. Any failure of the proposed responsible party to implement the
requirements of Conditions 18(f) through 18(k) with respect to that BMP shall be a violation of the
Order of Conditions or Certificate of Compliance. In the case of stormwater BMPs that are serving
more than one lot, the legally binding agreement shall also identify the lots that will be serviced by the
stormwater BMPs. A plan and easement deed that grants the responsible party access to perform the
required operation and maintenance must be submitted along with the legally binding agreement.
f) The responsible party shall operate and maintain all stormwater BMPs in accordance with the
design plans, the Operation and Maintenance Plan section of the approved Stormwater Report, and
the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook.
g) The responsible party shall:
1. Maintain an operation and maintenance log for the last three years including inspections,
repairs, replacement and disposal (for disposal the log shall indicate the type of material and
the disposal location);
2. Make this log available to MassDEP and the Conservation Commission upon request; and
3. Allow members and agents of the MassDEP and the Conservation Commission to enter and
inspect the premises to evaluate and ensure that the responsible party complies with the
Operation and Maintenance requirements for each BMP set forth in the Operations and
Maintenance Plan approved by the issuing authority.
h) All sediments or other contaminants removed from stormwater BMPs shall be disposed of in
accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
i) Illicit discharges to the stormwater management system as defined in 310 CMR 10.04 are
prohibited.

Building 20, Suite 2-64
North Andover, MA 01845
Site Plans prepared by: New England Engineering Services, Inc., entitled
"Proposed Subsurface Sewage Disposal System",
consisting of sheets 1 & 2, dated March 25, 2008. Stamped
& signed by Benjamin C. Osgood, Jr., P.E. on 4-16-08.
30. The following wetland resource areas are affected by the proposed work: Buffer Zone to
isolated vegetated wetland/vernal pool. These resource areas are significant to the
interests of the Act and Town Bylaw as noted above and therein. The applicant has not

site as shown on the plans dated referenced herein.
C:\Winword\OOC\93RaleighTavern.doc 2 NACC 5/14/2008
NACC #39
32. The NACC finds that the intensive use of the upland areas and buffer zone proposed on
this site will cause further alteration of the wetland resource areas. In order to prevent
any alteration of wetland resource areas a twenty-five foot (25') No -Disturbance Zone
and a fifty -foot (50') No -Construction Zone shall be established from the edge of the
adjacent wetland resource area except in those locations that are shown on the approved
plan as already disturbed. The Conservation Administrator and/or other agents of the
NACC do not have the authority to waive these setbacks as established under the local
bylaw. No disturbance of existing grade, soils or vegetation is permitted in the No -
Disturbance zone. (See Section 3.4 & Appendix F of the local Regulations).
33. This document shall be included in all construction contracts, subcontracts, and
specifications dealing with the work proposed and shall supersede any conflicting
contract requirements. The applicant shall assure that all contractors, subcontractors, and
other personnel performing the permitting work are fully aware of the permits terms and
conditions. Thereafter, the contractor will be held jointly liable for any violation of this
Order resulting from failure to comply with its conditions.
34. The owners of the project and their successors in title, in the event they proceed to alter
areas subject to the Commission's jurisdiction under the order, agree that the Order does
not in itself impose upon the Town any responsibility to maintain the proposed drainage
system and that said Town shall not be liable for any damage in the event of failure. By
acceptance of this Order, the owners agree to indemnify and hold harmless to the Town
and its residents for any damage attributable to alterations undertaken on this property
pursuant to the Order. Maintenance of the drainage system, if accepted by the Town as
part of a public way, becomes the responsibility of the Town.
35. Issuance of these Conditions does not in any way imply or certify that the site or
downstream areas will not be subject to flooding, storm damage or any other form of
water damage.

RE: Selective removal of 7 trees located within the Buffer Zone to Bordering Vegetated
Wetland.
This is a follow up letter pertaining to your request to remove seven (7) trees which are in close
proximity to your home at 100 Vest Way and are within the Buffer Zone to Bordering Vegetated
Wetland. Two trees are at the rear of the property (south west corner) were damaged and/or
knocked down during a storm in February of 2015. The remaining five trees are in the front
yard and are identified and shown in the attached photos. The trees were identified in a letter
from Mr. Mancuso with accompanying photos dated May 11, 2015 and identified and reviewed
during a site visit by the Conservation Department on May 13, 2015. The trees which are
permitted to be removed are identified in the attached photos. All seven trees approved for
removal were observed to be dying and/or damaged. A tree was requested to be
limbed/pruned, however upon inspection the limb appears to overhang the wetland and the
tree is within the 25' No -Disturb Zone and as such is not permitted to be limbed/pruned at this
time (see last photo).
'Determination of property ownership is the responsibility of the homeowner.
Due to the potential danger imposed by the trees, the Conservation Department will permit
their removal to prevent possible injury or property damage. These cutting activities shall be
limited to the seven trees identified and shown in the attached photographs.
During the site visit the Conservation Department observed two piles of debris consisting of
brush, lawn clippings and leaves within the 25' No Disturbance Zone as well as two sheets of
plywood within the wetland (see attached photos). According to C. 178.2 of the North Andover
Wetland Protection Bylaw, "No person shall engage in the following activities: removal, filling,
dredging, discharging into, building upon, or otherwise altering or degrading the wetland
resource areas..." including any 100 -foot buffer zone (see also Wetland Protection Act
Regulations 310 CMR 10.55). As such, please remove all debris and dispose of it at an approved
facility such as the Cyr Recycling Center on Sharpners Pond Road. Removal of debris must be

Disturbance Zone.
The approved cutting will be subject to the following conditions:
❖ No machinery shall enter the 25' No Disturbance Zone.
❖ No work shall occur in resource areas.
❖ All tree limbs, brush, and other debris materials shall be taken off site and disposed of
properly.

down or cut flush with the landscape.
❖ Care shall be taken to prevent damage to surrounding trees during removal of the approved
trees.
❖ Upon completion of the tree removal, all disturbed areas shall be properly stabilized.
❖ The applicant shall notify this department immediately following completion of work for a
final site inspection.

vegetation shall be removed without the prior approval of the Conservation

RE: Tree Removal Request— 100 Vest Way— North Andover, MA
Dear Conservation Department:
MAY 1120415
NORTH ANDOVER
CONSERVATION COMMISSION
May 11, 2015
I am writing you today to request permission to remove trees from my property located at 100 Vest
Way. The work to be done is as follows:
1. In February 2015, during a storm with high winds, a tree was knocked down in the woods
next to my yard. The tree came down and with it, knocked a smaller adjacent tree down as
well. I need to have the trees removed from the property (Picture 1). This will be done
using a bobcat to drag the trees out from the back yard and to the truck for removal. The
tree company stated they will take into account my septic system when they remove the
tree.
2. In front of the house are four (4) trees, 2 oak and 2 maple (Picture 2). 2 -of the trees, closest
to the house (-20 feet), are leaning toward my house and limbs are over the walk way
(Picture 3). The other two trees have damage due to infestation and have large cracks in the
trunk (Picture 4). 1 was advised by Ferris Tree Service that these trees should be removed as
well. These 4 trees will be cut and stumped to allow for planting of shrubs, plants or
flowers.
3. Another tree, situated in the woods is leaning at a severe angle and shows signs of damage.
(Picture 5) This tree will just be cut, no stumping required.
4. Lastly, there is a tree limb which is hanging over my driveway. The limb needs to be
removed. Only the limb will be touched, the tree is fine. (Picture 6).
On May 7, 2015 1 met with Dan Ferris of Ferris Tree Service who provided me with a quote and
description of the work to be done. I have included that with this request. Thank you for your time and
consideration. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 978-204-4246.
