Re: Lots 54 and 55, Moody Street, North Andover
Dear Mr.Osgood:
At your request, I have reviewed the drainage characteristics
of the above referenced lots with respect to your proposed
construction of two dwellings . Reference is hereby made to
the Camp, Dresser, and McKee report for the town of North
Andover, Massachusetts on storm drainage facilities dated
May 1967. In that report it was noted and recommended to
the Town of North Andover that a 2411 drain would be installed
from Colgate Drive to Moody Street thence new drainage on
Moody Street would be built easterly to Prescott Street
thence southerly on Prescott Street to the existing Swain
Brook. It has been noted that none of these improvements
have been made, and that obviously the Camp, Dresser and
McKee report recognized that a 2411 drain was required to
drain the Colgate Drive area which is directly north of
lots 54 and 55. The run-off which requires a 2411 drain pipe
is not created by the lot 54 and 55 characteristics but as
a result of the water shed directly north of these lots.
It is my recommendation that a 1211 pipe be installed along
the existing drain easement and to the existing 1211 pipe at
Moody Street. In addition to the 1211 pipe I recommend that
a Swale be created at contour 102 directly over the proposed
pipe to Moody Street at elevation 100 such that during times
of infrequent storms the additional capacity for run-off
required will be accomodated by the Swale which will bring
the overland flow of water onto Moody Street into the existing
drainage pattern. In addition to this, I recommend that you
notify the Town of North Andover that in granting the easement
from Colgate Drive to Moody Street you will receive a timetable
for the town improvements .
Yours truly,
Frank C. Gelinas
