RE: Selective cutting of four (4) trees within the buffer zone of a wetland resource area.
This is a follow up letter pertaining to your request to remove four (4) trees which are in close
proximity to and are leaning towards your home at 149 Campbell Road. The trees were
identified by Mr. Elliott during a site visit by the Conservation Department on July 7, 2011. It
was determined that the trees are located outside of 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 four trees are in close proximity to and are
leaning towards the house posing a safety hazard. The trees which are permitted to be removed
are identified in the attached photo.
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 four trees identified and shown in the attached photograph. As discussed during the site
visit, there are a few trees which have large branches that overhang the home, these trees may
be limbed/gently pruned as well.
The approved cutting will be subject to the following conditions:
❖ The work approved in this letter shall be completed by November 1,2011.
❖ No machinery shall enter the 25' No Disturbance Zone.
•:� No work shall occur in resource areas.
•:s All tree limbs, brush, and other debris materials shall be taken off site and disposed of
properly.
❖ 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.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions or concerns in this
regard.
