LaGrasse, CEHT—Director of Public Health RE: Design Analysis for Siting Subsurface Sewage Disposal System on 500 Boxford Street-Lot 1 & 2 (Map 105C, Lot 42) Dear Mr. LaGrasse: The following discussion intended to illustrate our analysis in siting the proposed subsurface sewage disposal systems and buildings on Lot 1 and 2 at 500 Boxford Street. 310 CMR 15.232 (6), states, "Absorption trenches should be used whenever possible." It is our opinion that alternative systems have their place where absorption trenches are not practical or possible, such as replacement of failed systems. With this in mind, the houses and septic systems were moved around the lots and resized to accommodate the Tide V setbacks and to the maximum extent possible, the North Andover Board of Health and Conservation setbacks. Specifically, Lot 1 The house was designed to accommodate the building setback requirements. As shown, the footprint of the dwelling minus the garage is approximately 1,300 s.f. The septic system was placed at the rear of the building and approximately 63 feet from the wetlands. Moving the septic system to the front of the lot as close to the lot line setbacks as possible, still required a variance for the setback to the wetlands. Another problem is that the building will not fit within the building setbacks as shown on the accompanying sketch. Additionally, construction of the driveway to the building would require work within the Conservation "25 foot no disturb zone". Lot 2 A similar analysis was performed on Lot 2. Moving the septic system in front of the proposed dwelling, would require the house to be set back 44 feet from the front lot line in order to meet the Tide V setback requirements. This would move the building within the 50 foot building setback from the wetlands. Also, the system would be within 100 feet of the existing well. However, we were able to move the system closer to the front lot line providing a greater setback from the wetlands of approximately 74 feet. 41607 Letter re Design Analysis 2016-08-17.docx JN: 41607 t� Mr. Brian LaGrasse August 17, 2016 Page 2of2 The septic systems shown on these two lots meet all the requirements of Tide V as required. The relief requested is for the setback to the wetlands. We believe the building and septic system configurations provide the least environmental impact to the area. Accompanying this letter, please find the revised Subsurface Sewage Disposal Plan for Lot 2 dated August 17, 2016. As stated above, the system was moved closer to the front lot line to provide more of a separation from the wetlands. Since the system on Lot 1 as shown on the plans dated July 7, 2016 remained the same, the plans were not resubmitted. Should you have any questions regarding the siting of the construction elements of the site, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours truly, DK ENGINEERI G ASSOCIATES,INC. Daniel Koravos, P.E.

All are within fairly level, open areas of the lot and appear to be more than 50'from the BVW. I ask that when you access test pit#1 (the farthest in on the property)that you access to the left of the pine trees as you face them.There is a wetland flag not far to the right of those pines.

LaGrasse, CEHT—Director of Public Health RE: Design Analysis for Siting Subsurface Sewage Disposal System on 500 Boxford Street-Lot 1 & 2 (Map 105C, Lot 42) Dear Mr. LaGrasse: The following discussion intended to illustrate our analysis in siting the proposed subsurface sewage disposal systems and buildings on Lot 1 and 2 at 500 Boxford Street. 310 CMR 15.232 (6), states, "Absorption trenches should be used whenever possible." It is our opinion that alternative systems have their place where absorption trenches are not practical or possible, such as replacement of failed systems. With this in mind, the houses and septic systems were moved around the lots and resized to accommodate the Title V setbacks and to the maximum extent possible, the North Andover Board of Health and Conservation setbacks. Specifically, Lot 1 The house was designed to accommodate the building acrequirements.uirements. As shown, the footprint of the dwelling minus the garage is approximately 1,300 s.f. The septic system was placed at the rear of the building and approximately 63 feet from the wetlands. Moving the septic system to the front of the lot as close to the lot line setbacks as possible, still required a variance for the setback to the wetlands. Another problem is that the building will not fit within the building setbacks as shown on the accompanying sketch. Additionally, construction of the driveway to the building would require work within the Conservation "25 foot no disturb zone". Lot 2 A similar analysis was performed on Lot 2. Moving the septic system in front of the proposed dwelling, would require the house to be set back 44 feet from the front lot line in order to meet the Title V setback requirements. This would move the building within the 50 foot building setback from the wetlands. Also, the system would be within 100 feet of the existing well. However, we were able to move the system closer to the front lot line providing a greater setback from the wetlands of approximately 74 feet. 41607 Letter re Design Analysis 2016-08-17.docx JN: 41607 Mr. Brian LaGrasse August 17, 2016 Page 2 of 2 The septic systems shown on these two lots meet all the requirements of Title V as required. The relief requested is for the setback to the wetlands. We believe the building and septic system configurations provide the least environmental impact to the area. Accompanying this letter, please find the revised Subsurface Sewage Disposal Plan for Lot 2 dated August 17, 2016. As stated above, the system was moved closer to the front lot line to provide more of a separation from the wetlands. Since the system on Lot 1 as shown on the plans dated July 7, 2016 remained the same, the plans were not resubmitted. Should you have any questions regarding the siting of the construction elements of the site, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours truly, DK ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES,INC. Daniel Koravos, P.E.

Dear Members of the Board: This office represents the three individual owners of three lots at and adjacent to 500 Boxford Street. The owners are listed below: Michael Donovan RECEIVE® 12 Johnson Street JUN; North Andover, MA 01845 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER Thomas Donovan HEALTH DEPARTMENT 5000 Wheatridge Drive Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526 Cornelius J. Donovan 12 Trolley Car Lane Londonderry, NH 03053 The property in question has been in the Donovan family since 1946, when Cornelius and Catherine Donovan, parents of the current owners, purchased this site containing 5.24 Acres, more or less. In December of 1970, Catherine Donovan hired Stowers Associates to survey the land and subdivide it into 4 lots. The subdivision plan was endorsed by the Planning Board on April 4, 1977 and recorded at the Registry of Deeds on April 8, 1977. The plan showed Lots A, B, C and D and a copy of the plan is attached. Bill/Letters/Town of North Andover—500Boxford.doc Civil Engineers e Land Surveyors o Land Planners andover consultants inc. Page 2 Town of North Andover On January 5, 1992, Catherine Donovan conveyed the lots to her children. Her daughter, Kathleen Garon, was deeded Lot A. Her sons, Michael Donovan, Thomas Donovan and Cornelius Donovan were deeded Lots B, C and D respectively. Each child had expectations of building a house on each of the lots. In fact, Kathleen built a house on Lot A. Over the years, since the land was subdivided in 1970, regulations have changed and become more restrictive. It is now impossible for any of the three brothers to build on their lot, primarily due to the North Andover Minimum Requirements for Onsite Wastewater Disposal Systems. Michael, Thomas and Cornelius Donovan are proposing to reconfigure their three individually owned lots into two new lots. Based on this new configuration we have completed percolation tests and test pits for the two lots and have designed subsurface sewage disposal systems. The designs comply with all of the requirements of Title 5 and also comply with the North Andover Minimum Requirements with the exception of the distance to a wetland resource area. Title 5 requires a 50 ft. setback from a wetland, for which we comply, but North Andover requires 100 ft. It is this section of the regulations that we request a variance. The applicants believe they qualify as seriously aggrieved parties and are eligible for a variance. Enforcement of the setback distance provisions in the local requirements would be manifestly unjust since it would render lot B, owned by Michael Donovan, and lot D, owned by Cornelius Donovan unbuildable. Lot C contains an abandoned dwelling and is owned by Thomas Donovan. Testing has been completed for two newly configured lots. During our field surveys and testing no soils or site conditions were noted that would be unique to the Town of North Andover. The conditions observed are similar to those we have seen in surrounding towns in the Merrimack Valley. Two systems have been designed to comply with Title 5 and all of the provisions of the North Andover Requirements with the exception of the distance to wetlands. On lot 1 we can provide 63 ft. and on lot 2 we can provide 65 ft. Enforcement of the 100 ft. setback distance would render lots B and D unbuildable and deprive Michael Donovan and Cornelius Donovan of all beneficial use of their property. andover Hants Page Page 3 Town of North Andover By allowing the variance, the brothers can eliminate the existing abandoned house and it ancient septic system and only two dwellings will be built, with modern sewage disposal systems. We appreciate the consideration of the board in this variance request. Sincerely, ANDOVER CONSULTANTS I C. William S. MacLeod, P.E., P.L.S. President WSM/an N O (/ NORTH ANpOV6R, Mf45S.

Your variance request from the North Andover Septic Regulations, Section 3.9 has been approved and the setback from the soil absorption system has been reduced from 100' to 73.7'. The design has been approved for use in the construction of a new on-site septic system for a 4- bedroom (maximum of 9 total rooms) home utilizing a gravity leach field system. This design plan approval is valid until October 7, 2019. During this time, a licensed septic system installer must obtain a permit and complete this work, and a Certificate of Compliance be endorsed by the installer, designer and the Town of North Andover. This approval is also subject to the following conditions: 1. Prior to the issuance of the Disposal Works Construction Permit,the applicant must submit a foundation as-built at the same scale as the approved plan Page 1 of 2 North Andover Health Department, 1600 Osgood Street, Suite 2035 North Andover, MA 01845 Phone: 978.688.9540 Fax: 978.688.8476 500 Boxford Street—Lot 1 October 7, 2016 2. Prior to the issuance of the Disposal Works Construction Permit,the applicant must submit the floor plans of the proposed dwelling showing no greater than 4 bedrooms or a total of 9 rooms. 3. If site conditions are found in the field to be different from those indicated on the design plan and/or soil evaluation, the originally issued Disposal System Construction Permit is void, installation shall stop, and the applicant shall reapply for a new Disposal Systems Construction Permit(3 10 CMR 15.020(1)). 4. It is the responsibility of the applicant and/or the applicant's septic system designer, septic system installer or other representative to ensure that all other state and municipal requirements are met. These may include review by the Conservation Commission, Zoning Board, Planning Board, Building Inspector, Plumbing Inspector and/or Electrical Inspector. The issuance of a Disposal System Construction Permit shall not construe and/or imply compliance with any of the aforementioned requirements. Please feel free to contact the office with any questions you may have. We look forward to working with you to obtain a wastewater treatment and dispersal system which will be in compliance with all regulations and assure protection of public health and the environment of North Andover.

The plan depicts three existing lots at and adjacent to 500 Boxford Street and a plan depicting a proposal to reconfigure the parcels into just two lots. In the proposed condition, the existing dwelling will be demolished and two new dwellings constructed. The proposal will require a variance from the Board of Health to permit construction of the two soil absorption systems fifty feet from a wetland where 100 feet is required. Mr. MacLeod wishes to meet with you to discuss the concept and to obtain your opinion as to how the Board will react to the proposal. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our office at your convenience. Sincerely, ANDOVER CONSULTANTS,INC. James S. Fairweather 11, P.E.

Donovan. The applicants have requested a variance from the North Andover"Minimum Requirements For The Design, Construction And Maintenance Of Onsite Wastewater Treatment And Disposal Systems" Plans have been prepared for the design of sewage disposal systems for 2 lots. The designs comply with all of the requirements of Title 5 and also comply with the North Andover Minimum Requirements with the exception of the distance to a wetland resource area. Title 5 requires a 50 ft. setback from a wetland, for which the plans comply, but North Andover requires 100 ft. It is this section of the regulations that a variance is requested. The applicants believe they qualify as seriously aggrieved parties and are eligible for a variance. Enforcement of the setback distance provisions in the local requirements would be manifestly unjust since it would render land owned by Michael Donovan and land owned by Cornelius Donovan unbuildable and deprive Michael Donovan and Cornelius Donovan of all beneficial use of their property. Plans and forms submitted may be viewed at the Health Department office at 1600 Osgood Street,North Andover, MA during regular business hours. If you have any questions, you may also contact the applicants engineer, William S. MacLeod, at Andover Consultants Inc., tel 978-687-3828, ext. 11. I Legal/Notice of Request for Variance-Donovan.doc
