This is a follow up letter pertaining to your request to remove two (2) trees which are diseased with insects and are dying and are in very close proximity to the power lines and driveway for 1080 Turnpike Street. The trees were identified during a site visit by the Conservation Department on July 28, 2011. It was determined that the trees are located near the 25' No - Disturbance Zone pursuant to the North Andover Wetlands Protection Bylaw (C. 178 of the Code of North Andover). Removal of vegetation, including pruning and cutting, is prohibited within the No -Disturbance Zone except in rare circumstances, such as safety. The two trees are in close proximity to the power lines and the driveway leading to the house and as such pose a safety hazard. The two trees which are permitted to be removed are identified in the attached photos. Due to the potential danger imposed by the trees, the Conservation Department will permit the removal to prevent possible injury or property damage. These cutting activities shall be limited to the two trees identified and shown in the attached photograph and shall comply with the conditions stated below. The approved cutting will be subject to the following conditions: ❖ The work approved in this letter shall be completed by December 1, 2011. ❖ No machinery shall enter the 25' No Disturbance Zone. ❖ No work shall occur in resource areas. ❖ The round green wetland marker which is on "tree 1" is to be removed and placed on the next closest living tree. If the existing wetland marker cannot be removed a new marker may be purchased for $2 from the Conservation Department. ❖ All tree limbs, brush, and other debris materials shall be taken off site and disposed of properly. 1600 Osgood Street, North Andover, Massachusetts 01845 Phone 918.688.9530 Fax 918.688.9542 Web www.townofnorthandover.com ❖ Stumps of the tree 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.
