Re: Written Documentation to Support the Application for Watershed Special Permit
Steve and Debbie Mason
128 Dale Street
Dear Board Members—
Please accept this memorandum in support of the application for a Watershed Special permit to allow
for the construction of a garage and bedroom extension and associated landscaping for property
located at 128 Dale Street.
I. Site Description:
The subject parcel is located at 128 Dale Street.The parcel is approximately 1.03 acres in land area,was
created in 1956 and is identified as Assessor's Ref Map 37B, Lot 8. Deed is recorded at North Essex
Registry Book 14586, Page 340.
The subject parcel is wholly located within the Town of North Andover Watershed Protection overlay
zoning district. As such,the parcel is subject to the requirements set forth in Section 4. 136 of the Town
of North Andover Zoning By-Laws.
The subject parcel is not located in a special Flood hazard Area on Flood Insurance Rate Map Number
25009CO236F dated July 3,2012.
II. Project Description:
We seek to remodel an existing single family home by adding a single car garage,carport and expanding
the master bedroom on the west side of the house along with associated landscaping at 128 Dale Street
within the Watershed Protection District.The current house has an existing driveway that covers
approximately 1700 sq.ft.which is located within 50 feet of a wetland.The proposal includes removing
this impervious surface and replacing it with pervious material.The proposed new construction would
add 876 sq.ft. of roof runoff(438 sq.ft. directed via a downspout to pervious lawn area at the rear of
the house and 438 sq.ft.directed via a downspout to pervious landscaped area at the front of the
house)and approximately 667 sq.ft.of driveway.The driveway will be graded such that the runoff is
directed to an infiltration trench per the request of John Borgesi,Town Engineer.
The removal of the existing driveway results in improved storm water management as the proposed
construction results in an additional area of almost 5000 square feet for filtration of runoff from the
proposed driveway. Even though the proposed construction has essentially the same impervious area,
more than half of it results from clean roof runoff. Finally, note 5 on the submitted plot plan developed
by 1M Associates states:"It is the.professional opinion of this firm that there will not be any significant
degradation in the quantity or quality of water in or entering Lake Cochichewick."The proposed
construction in conjunction with the removal of the existing driveway will reduce the impact of
stormwater runoff in the watershed protection district.
Since the lot was created prior to 1994,the provisions relating to the Conservation Zone and the
enlargement of the Non-Disturbance Zone do not apply to this project.
