FINDINGS
242-1447
The applicant, Valley Realty Development, LLC, filed a Notice of Intent with the
North Andover Conservation Department on December 5, 2008 to complete
construction of a 270 unit affordable housing condominium/townhouse
complex, associated roadways, parking lots,utilities, stormwater management
structures, grading, landscaping activities; wetland replication/restoration and
buffer zone enhancement plantings. Work is located within the buffer zone to
bordering vegetated wetland, isolated land subject to flooding, and isolated
freshwater wetlands. The project was filed under Massachusetts General Laws,
Chapter 40B. The Order of Conditions (OOC) for the project, DEP File#242-
1169, expired on January 21, 2008 and a Certificate of Compliance (COC) has not
been obtained.
The project was constructed in a series of phases (Phases 1, 2 &3). Phases 1 and
2 consist of buildings #1 through#5 (referred to as the Upper
Meadows/Oakridge Village) and buildings #6 through#15 (referred to as the
Lower Meadows/Maplewood Reserve) and all associated roadways, parking
lots, utilities, stormwater management structure, grading and landscaping as
proposed on plans and documents referenced in DEP File# 242-1169 and later
modified to include plans prepared by Merrimack Engineering Services dated
April 1, 2005. Phases 1 and 2 are located on northern portions of the site closest
to Turnpike Street/Route 114. Phases 1 and 2 are fully constructed and
occupied. As-built plans have not been submitted.
Phase 3 consists of buildings #16 through #28 and is located in the southwestern
portion of the site adjacent to Harold Parker State Forest. Portions of the project
completed under the OOC issued under DEP File#242-1169 include:
• Concrete foundations for buildings #16 through#28 excluding building#21
(the proposed clubhouse and swimming pool)
• Sanitary sewer
• Storm drainage collection and treatment facilities with the exception of the
proposed roof drainage system
• Roadways and parking areas to subgrade or binder pavement
• Utilities with the exception of gas service
• Associated grading and retaining walls
Construction on the site has been documented in plans prepared by Merrimack
Engineering Services and dated December 4, 2008. Portions of Phase 3 were not
constructed in accordance with the Order of Conditions issued under DEP File#
242-1169. Changes between the design plan and the December 4, 2008 plan are
documented in a letter prepared by Merrimack Engineering Services, Inc. dated
December 4, 2008 and an email document dated December 17, 2008. The design
plan used to determine the inconsistencies was the aforementioned Merrimack
Engineering plan of April 1, 2005, not the plans referenced in the previous OOC
prepared by GZA and last revised December 24, 2002. The North Andover
Conservation Commission (NACC) has acknowledged the change in the original
design plan. Deviations documented in the Merrimack Engineering
correspondence are limited to location and size of the foundations for buildings
#16 through#28 (excluding #21), detention pond square footage and volumetric
capacity, retaining wall location and length, and area of paved surfaces. Other
plan deviations that have been noted include but are not limited to:
• Lack of roof drainage system and associated level spreader gabions
• Change in outlet structure to the northeast of building #16 and between
wetland flag#202 and 203
• Location of underground utilities
In September of 2008, the applicant requested to conduct the remaining Phase 3
work under an Enforcement Order (EO). On October 8, 2008 the NACC voted to
issue an EO but rescinded that action at their October 22, 2008 meeting due to
concerns about changes in the plan of record and necessary modifications. The
applicant was advised to file a new Notice of Intent(NOI) to complete the
remaining Phase 3 work.
A Notice of Intent was filed December 5, 2008. After reviewing the project at
several public meetings, the NACC requested that the applicant seek approval
from the Zoning Board of Appeals for the proposed modifications as the ZBA
issued the original 40B Permit for the project. The ZBA issued a Minor
Modification on March 25, 2009. On March 25, 2009, the NACC closed the public
hearing and voted to issue the attached Order of Conditions.
DEP FILE#242 - 1447
Therefore, the North Andover Conservation Commission (hereafter the "NACU) hereby
finds that the following conditions are necessary, in accordance with the Performance
Standards set forth in the State Regulations, the local ByLaw and Regulations, to protect
those interests noted above. The NACC orders that all work shall be performed in
accordance with said conditions and with the Notice of Intent referenced below. To the
extent that the following conditions modify or differ from the plans, specifications or other
proposals submitted with the Notice of Intent, the conditions shall control.

resource areas to the identified interests.
33. The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource areas on
the site as shown on the plans dated referenced herein.
34. 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 fft foot (50') No-Construction Zone shall be established from
the edge of the adjacent wetland resource area except as permitted by Order 242-1169.
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).

Superseding Order associated with this appeal will be required to demonstrate prior participation in the review
of this project. Previous participation in the permit proceeding means the submission of written information
to the Conservation Commission prior to the close of the public hearing, requesting a Superseding Order
or Determination, or providing written information to the Department prior to issuance of a Superseding
Order or Determination.
The request shall state clearly and concisely the objections to the Order which is being appealed and how
the Order does not contribute to the protection of the interests identified in the Massachusetts Wetlands
Protection Act(M.G.L. c. 131, §40), and is inconsistent with the wetlands regulations (310 CMR 10.00).
To the extent that the Order is based on a municipal ordinance or bylaw, and not on the Massachusetts
Wetlands Protection Act or regulations, the Department has no appellate jurisdiction.
