Town of I•orth Andover '2/ 1600 Osijood Street Suite 2-E14, Building 20 North Andover, MA 01845 Via email and regular mall RE: 5'rl Appleton Street, North Andover, MA Dear Mr, Daley, I am writing this letter on behalf of David Bradbury and Gayle Dawson. It is my understanding fl s, one that n the above the home referenced ' x 14)and one on the right hand side of the addition's, one t home (24.5'x 28'). The proposal in the rear is more of a replace in kind construction. The room is currently supportad by Sono tubes and to make the home more structurally sound,the sono tubes will be replaced by a foundation. The footprint will not expand. Access to this area is !straightforward; on the grass. De-watering can be achieved in a de-watering pit (double staked hay bales placed in a circle of crushed stone) in an upland area should it be necessary. The other addition is a garage proposal. This area is currently pavement and will be replaced with a garage. The garage dimensions will actually be less they size of the existing pavement, therefore, the excess pavement will be removed and a crass strip will be planted in Its place. This means the project, as a whole will have less impervious area than what currently exists today. Only one mature tree will have to be removed. A blue spruce will be cut prior to construction activities. The ranch style home will be converted into a colonial and a second floor will be constructed, but will not exceed the footprint (with the exceptions i the the prop proposed garage which will be constructed on existing pavement). This property is Lake C ochichewick and is subject to the Planning Board's Watershed Bylaw. The homeowners respectfully hereby request to not be required to file for a Watershed Special Permit, as it is my professional the wetland or drinking will supply.negatively impact the surrounding The subject property is adjacent to the New England Power Company easement. The wetland system under the power lines is not directly connected to Lake Cochichewick. I flagged the wetland edge on July 6. The edge was delineated as A1-A3. The rear proposal is approximately 67' from the closest wetland flag (A3). The garage proposal is approximately 103'from the wetland. It is anticipated that if the project proceeds as planned, it will not have a negative impact on the adjacent wetland, Lake Cochichewick or it's watershed. I would suggest installing double-staked hay bales in a semi circle separating the work from tie wetland area as a precaution, thus defining the limit of work on the left hand side of the home. This project is very unique, will have no adverse effect on the wetland environment and actually has less impervious surface when completed. As a result, it is my opinion that this will yield a positive outcome. Should you have any questions, please contact me at the number listed below. Thank 02/87/2007 09:23 0000088 @00 GAYLE DAWSON PAGE 03 you for yc iur time.
