RE: Selective cutting of two (2) white pine trees within the buffer zone of a wetland resource
area.
This is a follow up letter pertaining to your request to remove two (2) White Pine (Pinus strobus)
trees in close proximity to the house and septic system at 849 Dale Street. The trees were
identified during a site visit by the Conservation Department on October 18, 2013. It was
determined that the trees are located approximately 90' from the wetland resource area.
Due to the potential danger imposed by the trees and their close proximity to the house, the
Conservation Department will permit their removal to prevent possible injury or property
damage. These cutting activities within the 100' Buffer Zone of the wetland resource area shall
be limited to the two trees identified and shown in the attached photograph.
There were approximately five additional white pine trees identified for removal by the home
owner with yellow tape (see second photo attached). These additional trees were determined to
be outside of the 100' Buffer Zone to the wetland resource area and do not require permission
from the North Andover Conservation Commission for removal. However, please be aware
that determining property ownership where any work is proposed is the responsibility of the
owner of 849 Dale Street.
The approved cutting will be subject to the following conditions:
❖ The work approved in this letter shall be completed by March 31, 2014.
❖ 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.
❖ 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.
❖ 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.
❖ 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.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions or concerns in this
regard.
