The trees were identified by the home owner during a site inspection conducted by the Conservation Department on June 16,2014 to review the location of the trees to be removed and their distance to the wetland resource area. Upon review of the site, it was determined that all three trees appear to be healthy and are located within 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 for safety. Please see the attached photographs. The Conservation Commission only permits administrative approval to remove trees that are dead, dying and/or a clear and immediate hazard. Applicants seeking to remove healthy trees are required to submit an application to the Conservation Commission. A Request for Determination of Applicability would be necessary due to the trees being within the 25' No- disturbance zone. The checklist and forms are available on the town's website under the Conservation Department;please refer to the links below. ht!p://www.to-,A,nofnorthandover.com/Pages/NAndoverMA Conservation/permits blip://www.mass.g2v/eea/agencies/massdW/water/approvals/wetlands-and-waterways- forms.html#4 Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions or concerns in this regard.
