The trees were identified by Mrs. Legner during the site inspection conducted- by me on March 5, 2010 to review the location of the trees to be cut and their distances to the wetland resource area. Upon review of the site, it was determined that these trees are located outside of 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 in rare circumstances, such as safety. The two white pine trees lean towards the house and deck and were observed to be likely to uproot posing a safety hazard. The small oak tree is dead and may be removed. The trees are identified in the attached photo. Due to the potential danger imposed by the three trees, the Conservation Department will permit their removal to prevent possible injury or property damage. These cutting activities shall be limited to the three trees identified and photographed during our site inspection. The approved cutting will be subject to the following conditions: ❖ The work approved in this letter shall be completed by September 1, 2010. ❖ No machinery shall -enter the. 25" No -Disturb Zone. 4- 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 three trees shall not be removed and shall be left in place. ❖ 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. 1600 Osgood Street, North Andover, Massachusetts 01845 Phone 978.688.9530 Fax 978.688.9542 Web www.townofnorthandover.com Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions or concerns in this regard.

Therefore, the Conservation Department will allow you to remove this tree, leaving the stumps in the ground for stabilization purposes. Please contact the undersigned when you have scheduled the work to be performed. Attached I've also included a copy of the as -built plan for your record purposes. I trust this information is sufficient for your needs. Should you have any questions or comments regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at your earliest convenience.
