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. u Res ectfll , P Y NORTH ANDOVER CON ERVATION DEPARTMENT Pamela A.

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 CC: Mark Rees,Town Manager Bill Hmurciak, Director of Public Works
