Per your email dated June 8, 2011, the North Andover Conservation Department authorizes the removal of the dead tree shown in the attached photographs. The tree is with the jurisdiction of the North Andover Conservation Commission (NACC). The tree is 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 safety. The Conservation Department will permit the removal of the above referenced trees in order to prevent possible injury or property damage. These cutting activities shall be limited to the tree identified which shall be removed without machinery entering the area. The approved cutting will be subject to the following conditions: ❖ The work approved in this letter shall be completed by September 1, 2011. ❖ No machinery shall enter the 25' No Disturbance Zone. ❖ No work shall occur in resource areas. ❖ All tree limbs, brush, and other debris materials shall be taken off site and disposed of properly (brush dump on Sharpners Pond.Road or other approved facility). ❖ Stumps of the trees shall not be removed and shall be left in place. Stumps may be ground down or cut flush with the landscape. ❖ Care shall be taken to prevent damage to surrounding trees during removal of the approved trees. ❖ All trees are assumed to be on the property of 42 Lacy Street; however determination of property boundaries and ownership is the responsibility of the homeowner of 42 Lacy Street. ❖ 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 i - ❖ Areas within 100-feet of wetland resource areas shall remain in a natural state and no further vegetation shall be removed without the prior approval of the Conservation Department/Commission. It is noted in the photograph, that lawn is maintained to the edge of the existing pond. The NACC encourages (and requires in the case of new projects on the property) the maintenance of a 25' No-Disturbance Zone where native vegetation is allowed to grow. A no-disturbance buffer zone has significant effects on the health of the adjacent water body. I have attached information regarding buffer zones and their significance for your consideration. Nothing additional is required at this time. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions or concerns in this regard.

As you can see from the photo it is dead. We plan on using a company that does not need to drive a truck onto our lawn--one that can be parked in the driveway.
