RE: Selective cutting of three trees within the buffer zone of a wetland resource area.
i
This is a follow up letter pertaining to your request to remove or prune/limb several trees in j
close proximity to your home at 155 Barker Street. On November 22, 2010, I met you on-site to
review the location of the trees and their distances to the wetland resource area. Upon review of
the site, it was determined that these trees are located very near to or just bordering 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 for safety reasons. The two (2) red maple trees at the
northwest corner (front corner) of the house lean toward the house and utility lines and were
observed to pose a safety hazard. The trees are identified in the attached photo.
Due to the potential danger imposed by the two trees, the Conservation Department will permit
their removal to prevent possible injury or property damage. These cutting activities shall be
limited to the two trees identified in the attached photograph. There is one small dead tree
behind the house that you identified that may also be removed. The remaining trees that are in
close proximity to the house and have branches leaning over the house may be pruned/limbed
to the extent that the limbs lean over the house but the trees themselves are not permitted to be
removed. Removal of healthy trees within the Conservation Commissions jurisdiction requires r
a permit. if a certified arborist should deem any additional trees unhealthy or hazardous, please
contact the Conservation Department for further evaluation.
The approved cutting will be subject to the following conditions:
❖ The work approved in this letter shall be completed by September 1,2011.
❖ No machinery shall enter the 25' No-Disturb Zone.
❖ No work shall occur in resource areas. All machinery must operate from upland areas.
❖ All tree limbs, brush, and other debris materials shall be taken off site and disposed of
properly.
❖ Stumps of the two trees shall not be removed and shall be left in place.
