RE: 420 Marbleridge Road,North Andover,MA 01845(Map 38; Lot 84)
Dear Ms. Piekarski,
At your request,this department was asked to document our findings based on preliminary
inspection of the above-referenced lot. It appears there is an intermittent stream that is piped
ander Marbleridge Road and is discharged onto the subject property. A large amount of the 0.51-
acre lot appears to consist of an associated Bordering Vegetated Wetland(BVW). Under the
provisions set forth under the North Andover Wetlands Protection Regulations, a 25-foot No
Disturbance Zone and a 50-foot No Build Zone are enforced from the edge of the wetland
resource area. As such, it would most likely be impossible to meet these setbacks and still be able
to conduct any work on this lot.
I trust this information is sufficient for your needs. Please do not hesitate to contact the
undersigned should you have any questions or comments.

RE: Request for Abatement for Sewer Betterment Assessment
Assessor's map 38,parcel 84
Phase 4A Sewer Project
Dear Ms. Piekarski:
You are pursuing the abatement of the recent sewer assessment on the vacant lot shown on assessor's map
38,parcel 84,on the basis that the lot is non-buildable. The determination of whether a lot is buildable
or not is beyond the scope of the Division of Public Works. According to the town's policy for sewer
betterment assessment, abatements are made on a case by case basis by the Board of Selectmen.
You will have to make your case to the board that the lot is non-buildable. Code 132 on your tax bill
indicates that the lot is non-buildable;however,the code;may have been applied if the lot failed soil testing
pP p
and could not support aseptic system at that time. With a town sewer now available,this situation would
no longer apply.
The lot may be considered non-buildable under the North Andover Wetlands Bylaw. I have asked the
Conservation Agents,Alison McKay and Pam Merrill,to review the matter. The lot may also be
considered non-buildable under the Zoning Bylaw. I have asked the Director of Community Development,
Curt Bellavance,to look into this as well. You may want to get their findings in writing to strengthen your
case to the Board of Selectmen.
You can arrange to appear before the Selectmen through the Town Manager's Office at 120 Main Street.
Very truly yours,
Timothy J. Willett
Water& Sewer Superintendent
