RE: Selective cutting of one (1) red maple tree within the buffer zone of a wetland resource
area.
This is a follow up letter pertaining to your request to remove one (1) Red maple (Acer rubrum)
tree which is in close proximity to and is leaning over the driveway and fence at 435 Chestnut
Street. The tree was identified during a site visit by the Conservation Department on October
22,2013. It was determined that 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 for safety. The tree is leaning over the driveway,
appears to be dying and is posing a safety hazard. The tree which is permitted to be removed is
identified in the attached photos.
Due to the potential danger imposed by the tree, the Conservation Department will permit the
removal to prevent possible injury or property damage. These cutting activities shall be limited
to the one tree identified and shown in the attached photographs.
The approved cutting will be subject to the following conditions:
❖ The work approved in this letter shall be completed by March 31, 2014.
❖ Machinery and/or any vehicle necessary to remove the tree shall remain within the limits of
the existing driveway.
❖ 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.
❖ The stump of the tree shall not be removed and shall be left in place. Stump 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
tree.
Upon completion of the tree removal, all disturbed areas shall be properly stabilized.

final site inspection.
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
