RE: Removal of three trees at 311 Chestnut Street
This is a follow up letter pertaining to your request to remove three (3) trees. 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.

regard.
