DEP FILE# 242 - 1367
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
The applicant, Patti and David Castricone, filed a Notice of Intent with the North Andover
Conservation Department on July 26, 2006 for the construction of an addition and two decks,
one of which will be cantilevered, to an existing single-family dwelling within the buffer zone to
bank associated with an intermittent stream. The addition was also proposed within the 50-foot
No-Build Zone pursuant to the North Andover Wetlands Protection Bylaw and regulations
(Chapter 178 code of North Andover) and was located 37 feet from the jurisdictional resource
area at its closest point. Proposed work would be located in an area that is a combination of
maintained lawn area. In addition, a shed on a slab foundation would be removed. No trees or
existing vegetation would be removed and minimal to no grading would be required. Further,
a buffer zone restoration/enhancement area was proposed within the local 25-foot no-
disturbance zone to mitigate impacts.
The addition was proposed for the use of converting a one-car garage into a two stall with two
apartments over the garage, a first floor apartment, expansion of the kitchen, and a sunroom
asserting that the work was necessary for the care of the applicant's father, who has a medical
condition, which necessitates constant care. The subject lot is small consisting of 14,215 s.f in
size and is a pre-existing non-conforming lot. The existing home and associated features were
built in 1952. The entire lot lies within the 100-foot buffer zone of the aforementioned
jurisdictional resource area.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
An initial public hearing was held within the 21-day time requirement on August 9, 2006 and
was legally posted in the Eagle Tribune. The proposed project was either discussed or continued
to subsequent public meeting dates of August 17, August 23, and September 13 of 2006
respectively (it is important to note that the August 17th legally posted meeting was not a
regularly scheduled public hearing, but was a site walk). As a result of the aforementioned
public hearings, the following findings of fact were presented and asserted.
As stated above, the addition was proposed within the 50-foot No-Build zone pursuant to the
local Bylaw and Regulations. No disturbance was proposed within the local 25-foot No-
Disturbance zone setback. Prior to the Notice of Intent filing, the applicant filed an application
with the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) for several variances and a special permit. The ZBA
voted to grant the dimensional Variance petition from Section 7, Paragraph 7.3 and Table 2 of
the Zoning Bylaw for relief of 3' from the south side setback and 20' from the front setback and
grant a Special Permit from Section 4, Paragraph 4.122.14c for a 2nd dwelling unit and Section 9,
Paragraph 9.2 of the Zoning Bylaw in order to extend a pre-existing, non-conforming structure
on a pre-existing, non-conforming lot
A waiver request and accompanying alternative analysis for the proposed work within the 50-
foot No-Build zone was prepared and submitted by the applicant's representative, Arrow
Environmental, LLC, pursuant to the North Andover Wetlands Protection regulations section
5.2, which states that:
C:\Winword\OOC\3ICourtSt.doc 1 NACC 10/4/2006
r
DEP FILE # 242 - 1367
"The Commission navy grant a znaizter from these regulations for an alternative of a buffer zone resource
area in situations inhere there are no feasible alternatiztes that provide for less impacts to the resource area
values. The applicant is responsible for conducting an alternatives analysis to shout that there are no
feasible alternatiztes. The Commission niay grant a zctaizter of the...perfornaance standards and impose
such additional or substantive niitigatizte requirements as it deems necessary, upon a clear and
conztincing shouting by the applicant that:
• There are no practicable conditions or alternatiztes that mould allozn the project to proceed in
compliance znith the regulations, and
• The project, or its natural and consequential effects, utill not hazte any adz)erse effects upon any of
the interests protected by the Bylaut....
• The project utill inaprozve the natural capacity of a resource area to protect the interests identified
in the Bylaza, provided any adverse effects on any such interests are minimized by carefully
considered conditions....
.In the case inhere a zitaimr is granted in the No-Build Zone, the Commission shall require araitigation
-measures to be implemented to offset potential impacts to the utetland resource areas"
As such, the alternative analysis indicated that the site constraints and zoning requirements
would not allow for a more feasible alternative to locate the addition outside of the 50-foot No-
Build setback. It further states that since there is an existing pool and fence to the right of the
home, the addition cannot be located to that side of the lot. Arrow Environmental states that
because of the circumstances, not allowing the addition was truly a hardship for the applicant.
Given the above stated design restraints, Arrow Environmental, LLC asserted that there was no
alternative and that locating the addition in any other location was not feasible.
During the August 9 public hearing,Joseph Lynch and Louis Napoli stated that although they
had known Mr. Castricone through his involvement as a wrestling coach, they stated that they
could remain objective and impartial during the proceedings and therefore did not feel the need
to recuse themselves. Ms. Castricone submitted photographs of the existing lot for the
Commission to review for the record. The Commission accepted these photographs for review.
Mr. Lynch indicated that only spot elevations were shown on the plan and that 2-foot contours
of existing and proposed grading(if any) needed to be depicted on the plan. Jack Mabon asked
the applicant if they would consider a physical barrier along the 25-foot no-disturbance zone
and additional restoration to protect the resource area as further mitigation effort. Ms.
Castricone indicated that a physical barrier would cut through the existing yard area and stated
that a buffer zone enhancement area had already been proposed as a means of mitigation. Mr.
Napoli had concerns in regards to stormwater runoff and also stated that depicting the
topography on the site was important. Deborah Feltovic suggested that the Commission
conduct a site walk. A site walk was subsequently scheduled for August 171h at 6 p.m. An
abutter,John Weaver of 37 Court Street, requested that the Commission base their decision on
the regulations and not based upon a hardship. Ms. Feltovic motioned to continue the meeting
to August 23rd. Mr. Mabon seconded. Unanimous.
The site walk was legally posted and conducted as scheduled. Only Mr. Lynch and Mr. Napoli
were able to attend that time, however Ms. Feltovic and Mr. McDonough had visited the site on
two separate occasions prior to the August 23rd meeting date.
C:\Winword\00C\3ICourtSt.doc 2 NACC 10/4/2006
DEP FILE # 242 - 1367
At the August 23rd public hearing, the Commission discussed their findings as a result of the site
walk. The Commission had suggested additional alternatives and mitigation measures as they
had indicated that the project did not appear to be approvable as proposed. The Commission
recommended the following plan changes:
❖ Showing appropriate and suitable enhancement plantings within the entire 25-foot No-
Disturbance Zone of at least 2:1 mitigation. The Commission has also recommended that
these plantings be scattered within the no-disturb area and not shown in rows as
previously depicted;
❖ Revising the addition to eliminate the need for a foundation and providing sonotubes to
support the addition as an alternative, if it were feasible structurally;
❖ Identifying if the fill at the end of the driveway would be removed and restored as part
of the proposed project;
❖ Specifying the square footage of alteration within the buffer zone in comparison to the
square footage of fill to be removed from the site.
❖ Including any proposed retaining wall/s needed to accommodate the work;
❖ Showing existing and proposed grading with 2-foot contours; and
❖ Elimination of the grading note depicted on the plan if grading changes were proposed
(i.e - as a result of the necessary retaining walls).
Ms. Feltovic motioned to continue to the meeting of September 13tH, seconded by Mr. Napoli.
The vote was unanimous.
At the meeting of September 13t", the applicant had submitted revised plans, incorporating the
changes recommended by the Commission at the previous meeting. Specifically, these revisions
included:
❖ Elimination of the proposed foundation and elevation of the proposed addition on 512"
sontubes (.8 s.f. in size) for support. Each sonotube would impact approximately 25 cubic
yards of material under the addition within the 50-foot buffer zone;
❖ Proposed and existing 2-foot topographic contours;
❖ The location of two retaining walls and associated grading at the end of the existing
driveway to the south of the site;
❖ Additional plan notes indicating that approximately 7 cubic yards of fill would be
removed for the construction of the retaining walls;
❖ Additional buffer zone enhancement plantings within the entire 25 no-disturbance zone
consisting of 28 Winterberry and Blueberry, 8 Dogwood, and 7 Lilacs (more than a 2:1
ratio). The Dogwoods and Lilacs would be planted diagonally 8 -10' apart and the
Winterberry and Blueberry would be planted alternatively 5' apart.
Upon presentation of the aforementioned plan changes, the Commission voted unanimously to
close the public hearing.
At the meeting of September 27, 2006, the'NACC concurred that there where no feasible or
alternative location on the lot for the addition to be located outside of the 50-foot No-Build Zone

30. The following wetland resource areas are affected by the proposed work: Bank associated
with an intermittent stream. These resource areas are significant to the interests of the Act
and Town ByLaw as noted above and therein. The applicant has not attempted to overcome
the presumption of significance of these resource areas to the identified interests.
31. The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource areas on the site
as shown on the plans dated referenced herein.
32. 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
fifty-foot (50') No-Construction Zone shall be established from the edge of the adjacent
wetland resource area except in those areas allowed and approved under this project
filing. 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).
33. This document shall be included in all construction contracts, subcontracts, and
specifications dealing with the work proposed and shall supersede any conflicting contract
requirements. The applicant shall assure that all contractors, subcontractors, and other
personnel performing the permitting work are fully aware of the permits terms and
conditions. Thereafter, the contractor will be held jointly liable for any violation of this
Order resulting from failure to comply with its conditions.
34. The NACC finds the applicant's proposal for approximately 2500 sq. ft. of buffer zone
restoration/enhancement to be adequate. However,the NACC finds that the Winterberry
plantings may not be suitable to the existing field conditions. Therefore,the applicant
shall contact the Conservation Administrator to determine a more suitable and agreeable
alternative in this regard. Said plantings shall be planted during and immediately
following construction activity on site and within the first growing season. This sequence
shall be reflected in the construction sequence.
35. The restoration/enhancement area shall be monitored by a qualified wetland specialist for
two growing seasons and monitoring reports shall be submitted to the Conservation
Department at the end of each growing season to report on the relative success or failure
of the restoration effort. If at the end of the second growing season, it has been
determined that a 75% success rate has not been achieved, the NACC maintains the right
to require additional mitigative measures.

36. The owners of the project and their successors in title, in the event they proceed to alter areas
subject to the Commission's jurisdiction under the order, agree that the Order does not in
itself impose upon the Town any responsibility to maintain the proposed drainage system �
and that said Town shall not be liable for any damage in the event of failure. By acceptance
of this Order, the owners agree to indemnify and hold harmless to the Town and its
residents for any damage attributable to alterations undertaken on this property pursuant to
the Order. Maintenance of the drainage system, if accepted by the Town as part of a public
way, becomes the responsibility of the Town.
37. Issuance of these Conditions does not in any way imply or certify that the site or
downstream areas will not be subject to flooding, storm damage or any other form of water
damage.

38. No work shall be undertaken until all administrative appeal periods from this Order have
elapsed or, if such an appeal has been filed, until all proceedings before the Department or
Court have been completed.
39. This Order shall be recorded by the applicant at the Registry of Deeds immediately after
the expiration of all appeal periods. No work shall be undertaken until the Final Order has
been recorded in the Registry of Deeds or the Land Court for the district in which the land is
located, within the chain of title of the affected property. In the case of recorded land, the
Final Order shall also be noted in the Registry's Grantor Index under the name of the owner
of the land upon which the proposed work is to be done. In the case of registered land, the
Final Order shall also be noted on the Land Court Certificate of Title of the owner of the land
upon which the proposed work is to be done. The recording information shall be
submitted to the North Andover Conservation Commission on the form at the end of this
Order prior to commencement of the work. Any Order not recorded by the applicant
before work commences may be recorded by the NACC at the applicant's expense.
40. A sign shall be displayed at the site not less than two square feet or more than three square
feet in size bearing the words "Massachusetts DEP, File Number 242-1367."
41. Any changes in the submitted plans caused by the applicant, another Board's decision or
resulting from this Order of Conditions must be submitted to the NACC for approval prior
to implementation. If the NACC finds said changes to be significant, the NACC will call for
another public hearing (at the expense of the applicant). Within 21 days of the close of said
public hearing the NACC will issue an amended or new Order of Conditions. Any errors
found in the plans or information submitted by the applicant shall be considered as changes.
The proposed project may be still under review by other local or state boards or agencies.
This may result in changes to the project plans or wetland impacts. If any such changes occur
a revised plan and an explanation of the revisions shall be submitted to the NACC for
review and approval prior to the start of construction. No work shall begin on a project until
written approval has been granted by the NACC.

42. It is the responsibility of the applicant, owner, and/or successor(s) to ensure that all
conditions of this Order of Conditions are complied with. The project engineer and
contractors are to be provided with a copy of this Order of Conditions and referenced
documents before commencement of construction.
43. Prior to any work commencing on site, the applicant shall submit to the NACC for approval,
a detailed construction sequence, including a dated timetable of construction, the
construction of compensation and retention areas, installation of sedimentation/erosion
control devices, phasing associated with the development and the construction of the
associated stormwater management structures. This timetable must continue to be updated
throughout the project.
44. Wetland flagging shall be checked prior to start of construction and shall be re-established
where missing. All wetland flagging shall remain visible and enumerated per the approved
plan(s) throughout the life of the project and until a Certificate of Compliance is issued so
that erosion control measures can be properly placed and wetland impacts can be
monitored. The proposed limit of work shall be shall be clearly marked with stakes or flags
and shall be confirmed by the NACC. Such markers shall be checked and replaced as
necessary and shall be maintained until all construction is complete. Workers should be
informed that no use of machinery, storage of machinery or materials, stockpiling of soil, or
construction activity is to occur beyond this line at any time. All flags used for the above
purposes shall be of a color different from other flagging used on the site.
45. A row of staked hay bales backed by trenched siltation fence shall be placed between all
construction areas and wetlands. The erosion control barrier will be properly installed and
placed as shown on the plans approved and referenced herein and shall be inspected and
approved by the NACC prior to the start of construction and shall remain intact until all
disturbed areas have been permanently stabilized to prevent erosion. All erosion prevention
and sedimentation protection measures found necessary during construction shall be
implemented at the direction of the NACC. The NACC reserves the right to impose
additional conditions on portions of this project to mitigate any impacts which could result
from site erosion, or any noticeable degradation of surface water quality discharging from
the site. For example, installation of erosion control measures may be required in areas not
shown on the plan(s) referenced in this Order of Conditions. Should such installation be
required by the NACC, they shall be installed within 48 hours of the Commissions request.
46. The applicant shall have on hand at the start of any soil disturbance, removal or stockpiling,
a minimum of 15 hay bales and sufficient stakes for staking these bales (or an equivalent
amount of silt fence). Said bales shall be used only for the control of emergency erosion
problems and shall not be used for the normal control of erosion.
47. A check payable to the Town of North Andover shall be provided in the amount of$3,000,
which shall be in all respects satisfactory to Town Counsel, Town Treasurer, and the NACC,
and shall be posted with the North Andover Town Treasurer through the NACC before
commencement of work. Said deposit of money shall be conditioned on the completion of

all conditions hereof, shall be signed by a party or parties satisfactory to the NACC, and
Town Counsel, and shall be released after completion of the project, provided that
provisions, satisfactory to the NACC, have been made for performance of any conditions
which are of continuing nature. The applicant may propose a monetary release schedule
keyed to completion of specific portions of the project for the NACC's review and approval.
This condition is issued under the authority of the local Bylaw.
48. The applicant shall designate a Wetland Scientist as an "Erosion Control Monitor" to
oversee any emergency placement of controls and regular inspection or replacement of
sedimentation control devices. The name and phone number of the erosion control monitor
must be provided to the NACC in the event that this person has to be contacted, due to an
emergency at the site, during any 24-hour period, including weekends. Proof of the
retained monitor must be submitted to the Conservation Department on letterhead by the
retained consulting firm. This person shall be given the authority to stop construction for
erosion control purposes. The erosion control monitor will be required to inspect all such
devices and oversee cleaning and the proper disposal of waste products. Cleaning shall
include removal of any entrapped silt.
49. ON EVERY MONDAY of each week, or otherwise arranged by the NACC, in which
construction activities occurs on-site and for as long thereafter as ground remains unstable,
it is the applicant's responsibility that the Environmental/Erosion Control Monitor
(EMC) monitor the site and submit written reports to the NACC. The EMC shall certify
that,to the best of his/her knowledge and belief based on a careful site inspection, all
work is being performed in compliance with this Order of Conditions and that approved
setbacks are being adhered to. The EMC must visually inspect all sedimentation / erosion
control measures and assume responsibility for their maintenance on a weekly basis and that
they are functioning as intended. In addition, all wetland resource areas must be visually
inspected for siltation, turbidity, and/or other water quality impacts. The reports shall also
include current condition of erosion and sedimentation controls; describe any erosion or
sedimentation repair and / or replacement; and describe any erosion or sedimentation
problems and mitigation measures implemented. Such reports shall continue until the
applicant requests a less frequent reporting schedule or an end to reports. This request must
be submitted in writing and is subject to approval by the Conservation Administrator.

F. Appeals
The applicant, the owner, any person aggrieved by this Order, any owner of land abutting the land subject
to this Order, or any ten residents of the city or town in which such land is located, are hereby notified of
their right to request the appropriate DEP Regional Office to issue a Superseding Order of Conditions.
The request must be made by certified mail or hand delivery to the Department, with the appropriate filing
fee and a completed Request of Departmental Action Fee Transmittal Form, as provided in 310 CMR
10.03(7)within ten business days from the date of issuance of this Order. A copy of the request shall at
the same time be sent by certified mail or hand delivery to the Conservation Commission and to the
applicant, if he/she is not the appellant. Any appellants seeking to appeal the Department's 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.
