Application for Site Plan Special Permit
LEI Job No. 480-60
Dear Ms. Tymon:
This correspondence has been prepared on behalf of Angus Realty Corporation North
Andover, MA in response to correspondence received dated August 9, 2013 from Joseph
Peznola, P.E. Hancock Associates Marlborough, MA regarding the Pentucket Bank
development at Butcher Boy Marketplace 1077 Osgood Street North Andover.
A. COMMENTS RECEIVED FROM HANCOCK ASSOCIATES
13. Hancock Associates Response:
The applicant has provided the top of wall elevation at the location where the new
wall will meet the existing wall. The applicant should provide the bottom of wall
elevation where the new wall will meet the existing wall or indicate that bottom
elevation will match the bottom elevation of the existing wall.
LEI Response
:
Refer to Drawing C-6, Site Grading, Drainage and Utility Plan. Bottom of wall elevation has
been added to the drawing.
16. Hancock Associates Response:
The Site Grading, Drainage and Utility Plan, C-6, has been revised so that all
proposed catch basins drain to either drain manhole PDMH-2 or PDMH-4. It
appears that these two manholes drain to water quality structures, but each
manhole also has what looks like an additional pipe draining directly to the
detention systems. The applicant should clarify on the plans whether the drain
manholes have two outlet pipes. Runoff from all catch basins should drain through
the water quality structures. If drain manholes PDMH-2 or PDMH-4 are intended to
have overflow weirs for larger storm events, this should be indicated and detailed
on the plans.

K:\480-60\Reports\082913_Hancock Resp\01_Tymon J_082913_let_Hancock Aug resp.doc
LEI Response
:
The CDC units were requested to be “off-line” therefore PDMH-2 and PDMH-4 are diversion
manholes. The detail on Drawing C-11 provides information on the diversion pipes and
inverts.
17. Hancock Associates Response:
Based on the structure chart provided, the following three structures do not
appear to have adequate cover: PDMH4, PCB12, and PCB13. With a standard 8"
high frame and grate the minimum cover over the crown of the connected HDPE
pipes is 2' which accounts for the thickness of the pipe, separation required
between the cored hole in the structure and the top slab of the structure, the
thickness of the top slab, and the height of the frame and grate. If the applicant
proposes to use a low profile frame and grate the minimum cover over the crown
could be reduced by as much as 4". The applicant should provide a detail of the
catch basin frame and grates and the drain manhole frames and covers.
LEI Response
:
The minimum cover over the crown of a 12-inch HDPE pipe is one foot to the bottom of
pavement as specified by ADS, a manufacturer of HDPE pipe. A 12-inch HDPE pipe has a
dimension of 1.10’ from invert to crown; therefore the minimum cover is 2.35’ to the top of
pavement. We have added a note on Drawing C-9 (catch basin detail) indicating that the
contractor shall not use a precast flat top for structures having less than three feet from rim
to invert.
18. Hancock Associates Response:
It appears that the roof drywells and the proposed detention systems (which
receive surface runoff from catch basins) are located within the Zone A. Further,
since the system of roof drywells, proposed detention systems, catch basins, and
pipe networks is very shallow and all of these components are at similar
elevations, flow from the catch basins could back up into the roof drywells during
large storm events. As previously stated, Hancock Associates believes that if the
infiltration and detention systems are allowed in the Zone A area by the DEP and
the North Andover Planning Board and Conservation Commission, they should be
designed to meet all of the Massachusetts Stormwater Standards and the
applicant should provide documentation of their compliance with the standards.
LEI Response
:
The outlet inverts at the drywells are located above the 100 year flood elevation. Therefore
backwater to the drywells, from the detention areas, will only occur for storm events
greater than a 100 year storm event. LEI is coordinating the specifics of the stormwater
design with Eggleston Environmental. The project has been designed to meet all the
MassDEP Stormwater Standards.

K:\480-60\Reports\082913_Hancock Resp\01_Tymon J_082913_let_Hancock Aug resp.doc
19. Hancock Associates Response:
It appears that the detention systems with solid pipes and low flow outlets at
bottom of 18" and 24" pipes have been raised from the previous submission. No
other revisions are apparent. Hancock Associate's previous comment still applies.
LEI Response
:
The detention areas are a closed system that do not exfiltrate stormwater. Test pit data
along with the estimated seasonal high ground water table are depicted on Drawings C-6
and C-11.
24. Hancock Associates Response:
As previously stated, since the plans show the proposed driveway as being used
for the proposed bank as well as the Butcher Boy Marketplace, the applicant
should provide the number of trips for the entire site to demonstrate the daily
traffic on the entrance driveway portion of the project which will be used by the
entire site. If the total is over 1,000 trips per day, the entrance driveway portion
of the project is considered a Land Use with Higher Pollutant Loads, and
stormwater runoff from this area must be designed to accordingly.
LEI Response
:
LEI is coordinating the specifics of the stormwater design with Eggleston Environmental.
25. Hancock Associates Response:
Water and sanitary sewer services are now shown on the above referenced plan.
The sizes and materials of these services should be shown on the plan. Also, the
plan should show sizes and locations of gas services (if applicable) and electric
and communications services.
LEI Response
:
The size and materials of the water and sewer services are depicted on the plans. It is not
known at this time if a gas service will be need at the bank building. The electric service
provider will determine the size and location of the electrical service at such time that a
work order is placed.
Additional Comment:
28. The Site Grading, Drainage, and Utility Plan, C-6, is very confusing. The
drainage configuration that includes structures PDMH6, PDMH9, PDMH7, PDMH8,
and the Contech Stormfilter is unclear as to where water is intended to be directed
between these structures. The applicant should explain the purpose of
R19 if R20 and R11 are intended to convey overflow from Proposed Detention
System B. Similarly, the applicant should explain the purpose of PDMH7 and R17
(which appears to flow toward PDMH7). If existing drainage is being rerouted, the
Ms. Judy Tymon August 29, 2013
Town of North Andover Page 4 of 4

plans should note which pipes will be removed, plugged, or abandoned in place.
Flow arrows on pipes would also help to clarify. Again, we defer to Lisa Eggleston
for full review of stormwater issues and we offer commentary to aid in this review.

Subject: Peer Review Summary #3
1077 Osgood Street
Application for Site Plan Special Permit
Dear Ms. Tymon:
This letter is in response to Lynnfield Engineering, Inc.'s August 2, 2013 letter addressing
Hancock Associate's July 15, 2013 peer review summary. Also included is a review of
the following:
1. Proposed Site Plans, "Pentucket Bank at Butcher Boy Marketplace", prepared by
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc., dated March 15, 2013 and revised August 1, 2013,
containing seventeen (17) sheets.
The following was used to assist in our review:
1. Zoning Bylaw of Town of North Andover last amended June 12, 2012
2. General Bylaws of the Town of North Andover, (adopted April 23 1979 as
amended).
Project Description
The project entails development of a portion of the Butcher Boy Market Place site current
occupied by a stormwater detention basin and access drive from Osgood Street with the
construction of a 3,672 square foot bank with a three lane drive-through window
featuring two teller lanes and one automated teller machine (ATM). A twenty-one-space
parking lot and connection to on site utilities is also proposed. Access to the site will be
provided via the existing one-way entrance and exit driveways that serve the current
marketplace from Osgood Street.
Marlborough, MA Danvers, MA
315 Elm Street 185 Centre Street

Comments
3. As the proposal is an expansion of the existing retail center, the Applicant must
present zoning compliance information for the entire site as well as impact on
prior approvals and conditions of approvals for the site.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
No response provided.
Hancock Associates Response:
Zoning compliance information for the entire site is included in the response to
comment 1. Applicant should provide impact on prior approvals and conditions
of approvals for the site.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
There are no known compliance issues related to prior approvals and/or
conditions of the site.
Hancock Associates Response:
No further response.
6. The Landscape Plan must be prepared and stamped by a Landscape Architect not
a Sanitary Engineer. The landscape plan refers to relocation of trees and shrubs
without itemizing quantities. It appears more trees are proposed than available for
relocation. The Applicant should provide a plant list containing new and relocated
species and sizes should relocation prove unsuitable. The Applicant must
demonstrate compliance with Zoning By-law Section 8.4.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Refer to revised Drawing L-1, Landscape Plan.
Hancock Associates Response:
The note 3 on the Landscape Plan, L-1 should be revised to indicate that plants
that are deemed unsuitable before, during, or after relocation will be replaced with
the same size and species.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Refer to revised Drawing L-1, Landscape Plan.
Marlborough, MA Danvers, MA
315 Elm Street 185 Centre Street
www.hancockassociates.com
Hancock Associates Response:
No further response.
7. The landscape island modified by the reconfigured entrance is only three (3) feet
wide. This is far too narrow for effective landscaping. The Applicant should
comment on the impact to the overall Butcher Boy Market Place compliance with
Zoning By-law Section 8.4 given the proposed modifications.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Refer to revised Drawing L-1, Landscape Plan.
Hancock Associates Response:
The width of the landscaped aisle has been revised so that it is 5 feet wide in most
areas and 4' wide at the narrowest location. The aisle should be 6' wide or greater
to comply with Zoning By-Law Section 8.4. Since the aisle is located on the
perimeter of the parking lot, at least one tree shall be planted for every thirty
linear feet. The trees shall be planted to be in compliance with Zoning By-Law
Section 8.4. The applicant must revise the existing plan.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Refer to revised Drawing C-5, Site Layout Plan, and L-1, Landscape Plan. The
proposed landscape island is 6.5’ wide with one tree planted for every thirty feet.
Hancock Associates Response:
No further response.
10. The location of the proposed stabilized construction entrance should be added to
sheet C-3.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
The stabilized construction entrance has been added to Drawing C-3, Erosion
and Sedimentation Control Plan.
Hancock Associates Response:
The construction entrance should be oriented so that the edge perpendicular to the
direction of travel connects directly with existing pavement.
Marlborough, MA Danvers, MA
315 Elm Street 185 Centre Street
www.hancockassociates.com
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Refer to revised Drawing C-3, Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan.
Hancock Associates Response:
No further response.
11. The plans should clarify if the proposed entrance is one or two-way and provide
appropriate signage on sheet C-4.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
The site entrance is one way. Proposed signage is presented on Drawing C-5, Site
Layout Plan.
Hancock Associates Response:
Signage and flow arrows are shown on the Site Layout Plan, C-5. The plans
should indicate if the entrance is one lane or two. The entrance is shown as
tapering from 25' wide to 16' wide. For a two lane driveway, a 20' minimum
aisle is required per Zoning Section 8.1(5). If the driveway is one lane, the 16'
width is acceptable.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
The entrance road tapers to 16’ wide and is a single lane one-way site access
drive.
Hancock Associates Response:
No further response.
13. Provide top and bottom of retaining wall elevations on sheet C-5. It appears the
wall will be as much as seven (7) feet high along Pond Road. The applicant must
provide design plans for the wall stamped by a structural engineer.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
The top and bottom of wall elevations have been added to the plans. The plans are
for permitting purposes only. The wall will be designed by a structural engineer
prior to application for a building permit.
Hancock Associates Response:
Marlborough, MA Danvers, MA
315 Elm Street 185 Centre Street
www.hancockassociates.com
The applicant should provide existing and proposed top and bottom of retaining
wall elevations at the location where the new wall will meet the existing wall.
Although preliminary, the applicant should verify that geogrid required for the
proposed wall will not be in conflict with Proposed Extended Dry Detention
System B.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Refer to revised Drawing C-6, Site Grading, Drainage and Utility Plan, depicting
top and bottom elevations of the retaining wall where they meet. The retaining
wall will be designed so as not to interfere with the proposed detention system.
Hancock Associates Response:
The applicant has provided the top of wall elevation at the location where the new
wall will meet the existing wall. The applicant should provide the bottom of wall
elevation where the new wall will meet the existing wall or indicate that bottom
elevation will match the bottom elevation of the existing wall.
14. The proposed retaining wall is directly over the existing sewer main that feeds the
adjacent pump station. The applicant should provide details on how this wall will
be constructed without damaging the existing main, and comment on the ability to
repair or replace the sewer main once the wall is constructed on top of it.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
The proposed Versa Lok retaining wall will extend approximately 12” - 16”
below the existing grade, approximately 5 to 6 feet above the existing pipe. The
Contractor shall video inspect the sewer line prior to and after construction to
document the condition of the sewer line.
Hancock Associates Response:
The plans should include a note indicating that the contractor is responsible for
repairing any damages to the existing sewer main.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
A note has been added to Drawing C-6, Site Grading, Drainage and Utility Plan.
Hancock Associates Response:
No further comment.

16. Proposed catch basin PCB10 appears to connect directly into the drainage system
without treatment and does not meet the 80% TSS removal requirement.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Refer to the revised site layout and storm drain system.
Hancock Associates Response:
The Site Grading, Drainage and Utility Plan, C-6, has been revised so that catch
basin PCB10 now drains to drain manhole PDMH1 which drains to water quality
inlet PWQI#1 before entering Extended Dry Detention System A. Stormwater
flow from PCB10 now appears to receive adequate treatment. The existing site
drainage system now appears to connect directly into the drainage system via
drain manholes PDMH7 and PDMH6 and does not meet the 80% TSS removal
requirement.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Refer to the revised site layout and storm drain system.
Hancock Associates Response:
The Site Grading, Drainage and Utility Plan, C-6, has been revised so that all
proposed catch basins drain to either drain manhole PDMH-2 or PDMH-4. It
appears that these two manholes drain to water quality structures, but each
manhole also has what looks like an additional pipe draining directly to the
detention systems. The applicant should clarify on the plans whether the drain
manholes have two outlet pipes. Runoff from all catch basins should drain
through the water quality structures. If drain manholes PDMH-2 or PDMH-4 are
intended to have overflow weirs for larger storm events, this should be indicated
and detailed on the plans.
17. The applicant should provide a detail of the catch basin frame and grates, with
dimensions demonstrating that they can be constructed with only 1.5± feet of
cover over the pipe as they are designed.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
In order to construct the catch basin structures and install the pipe the minimum
cover over the HDPE is 1.7 feet. This would include a frame and cover 8 inches
deep and a flat top catch basin which is 12 inches thick.
Hancock Associates Response:
Marlborough, MA Danvers, MA
315 Elm Street 185 Centre Street
www.hancockassociates.com
The applicant's response does not account for the thickness of the HDPE pipe
which for 12" pipe is typically 2.5" or the fact that the structure cannot be cored
within 6" of the cover seal. The applicant should provide a detail of the catch
basin frame and grates and adjust the elevations of the drainage system as
necessary so that the structures and pipes can be installed as shown on the plans.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Refer to revised catch basin detail on Drawing C-9, Site Details.
Hancock Associates Response:
Based on the structure chart provided, the following three structures do not appear
to have adequate cover: PDMH4, PCB12, and PCB13. With a standard 8" high
frame and grate the minimum cover over the crown of the connected HDPE pipes
is 2' which accounts for the thickness of the pipe, separation required between the
cored hole in the structure and the top slab of the structure, the thickness of the
top slab, and the height of the frame and grate. If the applicant proposes to use a
low profile frame and grate the minimum cover over the crown could be reduced
by as much as 4". The applicant should provide a detail of the catch basin frame
and grates and the drain manhole frames and covers.
18. The applicant has not provided infiltration as required by the MADEP SWM
Regulations.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
A substantial portion of the property is located in a Zone A Area. The design
provides infiltration of the roof area of the proposed bank. The infiltration system
will treat the one inch rainfall event. The overflow from the infiltration system will
then discharge to extended dry detention systems.
Hancock Associates Response:
The Massachusetts stormwater handbook states that "Unless essential to operation
of a public water system, stormwater BMP's are prohibited within the Zone A."
and "Stormwater Discharges to a Zone I or Zone A are prohibited unless essential
to operation of the public water supply." The applicant should provide a figure
showing the delineation of Zone A area on the project site and a Hydrocad report
of the storage within the proposed infiltration and detention systems which should
not be located within the Zone A. If the infiltration and detention systems are
allowed in the Zone A area by the DEP and the North Andover Planning Board
and Conservation Commission, they should be designed to meet all of the
Massachusetts Stormwater Standards and the applicant should provide
documentation of their compliance with the standards.
Marlborough, MA Danvers, MA
315 Elm Street 185 Centre Street
www.hancockassociates.com
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Refer to revised Stormwater Drawings. Infiltration is being proposed outside the
Zone A Area with the exception of the roof infiltration system.
Hancock Associates Response:
It appears that the roof drywells and the proposed detention systems (which
receive surface runoff from catch basins) are located within the Zone A. Further,
since the system of roof drywells, proposed detention systems, catch basins, and
pipe networks is very shallow and all of these components are at similar
elevations, flow from the catch basins could back up into the roof drywells during
large storm events. As previously stated, Hancock Associates believes that if the
infiltration and detention systems are allowed in the Zone A area by the DEP and
the North Andover Planning Board and Conservation Commission, they should be
designed to meet all of the Massachusetts Stormwater Standards and the applicant
should provide documentation of their compliance with the standards.
19. The applicant has considered the underground detention area an "extended dry
detention basin" with a TSS removal rate of 50%, they should provide the
appropriate data and calculations including volumes and detention times between
the low flow orifice elevation and the first primary outlet to document this
assumption or change the design to a "dry detention basin" which has no TSS
removal. We note that volumes between the bottom of the stone and the low flow
orifice appear to be included in the calculations despite having no way to drain
this volume between storms.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Refer to the revised extended dry detention basins design.
Hancock Associates Response:
The Underground Extended Dry Detention System details indicated CMP pipe. If
this pipe is intended to be perforated this should be indicated on the details. We
also suggest that these systems be wrapped with non-woven filter fabric to
prevent clogging of the systems. The applicant should indicate estimated seasonal
high groundwater (ESHGW) elevations on the "Underground Extended Dry
Detention System" and "Roof Drywell" details. A minimum of 2' separation
should be provided between the ESHGW and the bottom of the infiltration and
detention systems. If the applicant chooses to use infiltration as a discharge outlet
for these systems, the separation needs to be 4'. The extended dry detention
basins should be designed to meet the criteria described in the Massachusetts
Stormwater Handbook in order to provide the TSS removal rate of 50%.
Marlborough, MA Danvers, MA
315 Elm Street 185 Centre Street
www.hancockassociates.com
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Refer to revised stormwater design drawings.
Hancock Associates Response:
It appears that the detention systems with solid pipes and low flow outlets at
bottom of 18" and 24" pipes have been raised from the previous submission. No
other revisions are apparent. Hancock Associate's previous comment still applies.
21. The "Checklist for Stormwater Report" indicates the site is a mix of new
development and redevelopment, as such the project "must improve existing
conditions" per the MADEP SWM Regulations. "New stormwater controls
(retrofitted or expanded) must be incorporated into the design and result in a
reduction in annual stormwater pollutant loads from the site. Proponents of
redevelopment projects shall make full use of all opportunities for controlling the
sources of pollution and to incorporate environmentally sensitive site design and
low impact development techniques."
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Comment noted.
Hancock Associates Response:
In order for a project to qualify as a "redevelopment" the project must not result in
a net increase in impervious area from the previous developed condition. The
portions of this project that do not meet the redevelopment requirements must
fully meet all of the Massachusetts Stormwater Standards. Hancock Associates
does not believe this project is considered a redevelopment under the
Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Comment noted.
Hancock Associates Response:
Hancock Associates would like to re-state our opinion that this project is a "new
development" and must fully meet all of the stormwater standards. Hancock
Associates defers to further review from Lisa Eggleston.
24. The traffic report indicates an average weekday daily traffic for the bank of 544
trips. The applicant needs to provide the number of trips for the entire site, and if
Marlborough, MA Danvers, MA
315 Elm Street 185 Centre Street
www.hancockassociates.com
the total is over 1,000 trips per day the site is considered a Land Use with Higher
Pollutant Loads and the drainage design must be updated accordingly.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
The original Butcher Boy Marketplace was constructed in the early 1990’s, more
than 20 years ago. This project is not considered to be a phased project; therefore
the entire site should not be reviewed as a whole. In addition the majority of the
existing site is located outside of the wetland buffer zone and the stormwater
system discharges to the Merrimack River. The bank traffic is estimated to be
approximately 544 vehicle trips per day which does not classify as a LUHPPL.
However, the Applicant is providing improvements to the existing stormwater
system. A hydrodynamic separator is proposed, prior to the existing storm drain
system exiting the site. The hydrodynamic separator will provide TSS removal for
the entire site in an effort to improve the overall stormwater quality exiting the
property.
Hancock Associates Response:
The applicant should provide the number of trips for the entire site to demonstrate
the daily traffic on the entrance driveway portion of the project which will be used
by the entire site. If the total is over 1,000 trips per day, the entrance driveway
portion of the project is considered a Land Use with Higher Pollutant Loads, and
stormwater runoff from this area must be designed to accordingly. Particular
consideration should be taken if this area is within the Zone A since Land Uses
with Higher Pollutant Loads are not permitted in Zone A areas.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
This project is not a phased project and the proposed bank does not exceed the
1,000 vehicle trips per day or more criteria. In accordance with the
Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook and 310 CMR 22 some land uses are not
suitable for Zone A. However, parking lots with high intensity use (1,000 vehicle
trips per day) is not prohibited within a Zone A.
Hancock Associates Response:
As previously stated, since the plans show the proposed driveway as being used
for the proposed bank as well as the Butcher Boy Marketplace, the applicant
should provide the number of trips for the entire site to demonstrate the daily
traffic on the entrance driveway portion of the project which will be used by the
entire site. If the total is over 1,000 trips per day, the entrance driveway portion
of the project is considered a Land Use with Higher Pollutant Loads, and
stormwater runoff from this area must be designed to accordingly.

25. The proposed water, sanitary sewer, and gas services for the proposed building
are no longer shown on the Site Grading, Drainage and Utility Plan, C-6. These
services, including size and materials of the services should be included on the
plans. The applicant should also include electric and communications services for
the proposed building.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Refer to Drawing C-6, Site Grading, Drainage and Utility Plan.
Hancock Associates Response:
Water and sanitary sewer services are now shown on the above referenced plan.
The sizes and materials of these services should be shown on the plan. Also, the
plan should show sizes and locations of gas services (if applicable) and electric
and communications services.
26. The applicant should demonstrate how the existing "electric hand hole" and
associated conduits and/or duct banks will be relocated so as not to be in conflict
with the proposed building and other site utilities.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Refer to Note 4 on electrical drawing E-1, Site Lighting Plan.
Hancock Associates Response:
No further comments.
27. The applicant should demonstrate how traffic will enter the existing Butcher Boy
development during construction.
Lynnfield Engineering, Inc. Response:
Traffic will continue to access the site via the existing site access drive until such
time that the proposed access drive is operational.
Hancock Associates Response:
No further comments.
Additional Comment
28. The Site Grading, Drainage, and Utility Plan, C-6, is very confusing. The
drainage configuration that includes structures PDMH6, PDMH9, PDMH7,
Marlborough, MA Danvers, MA
315 Elm Street 185 Centre Street
www.hancockassociates.com
PDMH8, and the Contech Stormfilter is unclear as to where water is intended to
be directed between these structures. The applicant should explain the purpose of
R19 if R20 and R11 are intended to convey overflow from Proposed Detention
System B. Similarly, the applicant should explain the purpose of PDMH7 and
R17 (which appears to flow toward PDMH7). If existing drainage is being
rerouted, the plans should note which pipes will be removed, plugged, or
abandoned in place. Flow arrows on pipes would also help to clarify. Again, we
defer to Lisa Eggleston for full review of stormwater issues and we offer
commentary to aid in this review.
We believe the Applicant should address the issues raised prior to the Board finalizing
their deliberation of the matter. Should you have any questions or comments, please do
not hesitate to contact our office.
