It is my understanding that a large branch had fallen onto your property,just grazing your house during the last rain event.During my inspection,I observed the split red maple tree to the left side of the house and along the stonewall. It appeared that a portion of this tree is rotted.Also noted along the stonewall at thereat left property comer is another red maple that exhibits signs of tree rot and dead branches. Both of these trees are located within your property bounds. As previously mentioned to you,there is a jurisdictional Bordering Vegetated Wetland(BVW) that abuts a wet meadow located just beyond the stonewall on all three (3) side of the property.This parcel is owned by the Trustees of Reservations. It's highly recommended that you retain an estimate from a certified tree arborist for a full diagnosis of these trees.Any other tree of concern that is located beyond the stonewall should be brought to the Trustees of Reservation's attention. Based on my findings,the North Andover Conservation Department hereby authorizes the removal of the two (2) trees referenced above.The stumtis associated to the trees shall remain in the ground due to their proximity to the edge of the wetland resource area. Prior to the commencement of the tree work,please contact the undersigned so that we know when the work is taking place. If the certified arborist determines that additional trees need to be removed or trimmed,the Conservation Department shall be contacted, so that I may review and approve the proposal. 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. Respectfully, NORTH ANDOVER CO SERVATION DEPARTMENT Pamela A.
