Small Project NACC #266, 5 Stonewedge Circle (Luzzo) The Administrator states the applicant is seeking approval for an in-kind replacement of an existing deck. The existing deck and stairs are approximately 260 s.f. The existing footings will be used, no soil disturbance is proposed. Construction debris will be removed from the site daily and raw materials will be stored in the driveway. The site was subject to a previous Order for the construction of the subdivision roadway and associated lots. A previous as-built plan depicts the same footprint and location of deck/stairs outside the 50-foot NBZ. Per the Administrator the wetland has shifted slightly from the previous delineation in 2003. The Administrator recommends approval of the project as a Category "B" requiring a post construction site inspection with the Conservation Department to verify final as-built conditions. Mr. Lynch states the attached site plan is entitled Proposed Pool Site Plan and questions if the pool was ever installed. The Administrator states the pool was never built; it was determined that a pool is not feasible. The homeowner has also requested permission to replace three rotted split rail fence posts, between WF 7A-8A. The Administrator confirms the posts are outside the 25-foot NDZ. The Commission discusses the request and agrees to allow replacement of 2-3 posts.

At a return site visit the new Field Inspector alerted the Administrator that Burning Bush shrubs are planted within landscape beds in the Buffer Zone. Burning bush is an extremely invasive non-native and its sale is banned in Massachusetts. The homeowner explained the shrubs were relocated from another part of the property and greatly reduced in number from what previously existed. She does not believe this to be a non-compliance issue as the OOC did not require a formal plant list. Thomas Murtha, the homeowner, is present for questions. Mr. Mabon & Mr. Lynch believe this is a misunderstanding, however they believe invasive species in the Buffer Zone are a problem. Mr. Mabon proposes granting the COC and issuing an EO for the removal of the invasive species. Mr. Napoli states the applicant reduced the number of Burning Bushes and feels it would be unfair to penalize the applicant. 2020-11-18 Conservation Commission Minutes Page 3 of 9 Approved 01/13/2021 The Administrator agrees with Mr. Napoli. She states the invasive plants have been onsite since 2016 and there have been numerous site visits with Conservation Staff and Erosion Control Monitor over the years. The site is in compliance with the Order. The closest invasive plant to the wetland is approximately 50-feet. Mr. Lynch states per Mass.gov Department of Agriculture Burning Bushes were banned from the import from another state and planting in Massachusetts in 2016. All existing plants can remain per the state's agriculture regulations. The Commission discusses the request and agrees to issue a full and final COC.

No changes will be made to the deck footings. The drainage grate has been fixed and the temporary drainage trench is no longer needed. They propose to fill the trench, loam and seed and place erosion controls at the terminal end. The maple tree (10-inches in diameter) will be removed and the area seeded for lawn. A crushed stone drip edge will be added to capture the roof runoff from the screened in porch as well as underneath the deck. The Administrator recommends issuing a Negative #3 Determination. Mr. Napoli requests the tree be cut and the stump ground only. The Commission discusses the proposal and agrees the applicant has provided the additional information required. Mr. McDonough expresses concerns that mowing has been taking place up to the edge of the wetland. Kyle Hammond, the homeowners, states he's owned the house for 2 ½-years and continued to mow the same footprint that was previously mowed. The Commission discusses the mowing and agrees the applicant will be responsible to install posts with wetland markers and regrowth to be determined by the Administrator. A motion to issue a Negative Determination #3 as proposed (erosion controls installed at the terminal end of the trench and perimeter of the tree removal area to be reviewed by Conservation Staff, post construction site inspections, meeting with the Administrator to determine the proper distance to install posts and wetland markers allowing regrowth of the wetland buffer area) is made by Mr. McDonough, seconded by Mr. Mabon.

Mr. Mabon expresses concerns that the retaining wall detail is not adequate. Erich Nitzsche, the project engineer, states the retaining wall will be a maximum height of 4-feet in at the corner bend. Mr. Lynch would like to know what material they proposed to use to build the retaining wall. Mr. Nitzsche states the material for the retaining wall is undetermined at this time. Steve Grasso, the property owner states the pool is structurally sound and does not require a retaining wall. The Commission discusses the retaining wall and agrees due to the proximity to the resource area it must be structurally engineered. Mr. Grasso considers withdrawing the Amendment as he needs to start land clearing soon to be on schedule. Mr. Lynch states as long as the applicant satisfies all of the conditions set forth in the original OOC they can move forward with the original project.

It was determined that an NOI was required to properly condition the project. The project consists of demolition of a small deck and removal of a small patio. They are proposing the construction of a garage addition, attached breezeway and rear deck with crushed stone underneath. They are proposing a driveway addition to square off the entrance to the new garage. All of the work is outside the 50-foot NBZ and is approximately 61-feet from the BVW at its closest point. A stone infiltration trench is proposed to capture a portion of the new roof surface to infiltrate. The construction access and stockpile area are depicted on the plan, located outside the 100-foot Buffer Zone. The Administrator states the wetland was delineated and found to be reasonable. There is an existing shed in 50-foot NBZ, which is clearly depicted in a 1978 aerial which pre-dates the regulations. A motion to close and issue in 21 days is made by Mr. McDonough, seconded by Mr. Mabon. Vote 5-0, Unanimous.

Farmer Development, Inc.) The Administrator states the proposal is for the construction of a new single-family house, associated driveway, septic system, and grading on the North Andover/Andover line. The work is within 100-foot Buffer Zone to BVW located across the street. The wetland line was reviewed and found to be accurate and is controlled by the roadway shoulder. A portion of the driveway entrance is within 50-feet of BVW on the Andover side. An alternatives analysis was provided which speaks to the layout of the proposed driveway. Two rip rap aprons are proposed on either side of the mouth of the driveway to assist with roadway runoff and erosion. Mr. Lynch would like to know if the Administrator feels there is an alternative location for the proposed house. 2020-11-18 Conservation Commission Minutes Page 7 of 9 Approved 01/13/2021 The Administrator states she does not believe there is a better location for the house. She states that the erosion controls need to be bolstered currently; only silt fence is proposed. A tracking area, stockpile area and material staging area need to be depicted on the plan. Mr. Napoli states he has never seen a home built in two different towns. He questions if this will cause issues with the Zoning Board of Appeals. Peter Blaisdell, Williams & Sparages, LLC states the project was before the Andover ConCom last night. The Andover ConCom had some questions and was aware the project was to be presented to the NACC tonight. Mr. Napoli feels that it is important that both Commissions are satisfied with the project before they approve the project. Mr. Blaisdell states Andover ConCom requested the erosion controls to be shored up and had questions regarding the rip rap aprons and why they were proposed. He states the rip rap aprons are located in Andover and that the Andover ConCom is consulting with their Town Engineer whether or not they are necessary. They were proposed as an enhancement and are not deemed necessary. Mr. Napoli feels the rip rap aprons are a good idea to prevent additional/slow runoff water flowing into North Andover. Mr. McDonough expresses concerns with the sheet flow off the driveway and into the wetland across the street. He would like to know if they intend to infiltrate or slow the sheet flow in some way. Mr. Blaisdell states they are considering super elevating the driveway or tipping the driveway from left to right and installing rip rap shoulders on both sides allowing for snow removal and runoff. He requests a continuance to allow time to update the plan. Mr. Lynch expresses concerns with elevating the driveway and concentrating all of the flow down one side of the driveway. He requests the applicant consider a stone apron, check dams and off driveway drainage control. He feels the project requires protections far beyond simple erosion and siltation controls and that it cannot be managed at the bottom of the hill given the amount of disturbed area. Mr. Blaisdell states they would be happy to include check dams to the driveway design. He states that the applicant has a similar project next door to this site which has received good rainstorms over the past month. He urges the NACC to visit to see what the applicant has done at the other location. Mr. Lynch agrees to visit the other site location in Andover. Phil Farmer, the applicant states he is proposing to attempt to access most of the heavy construction through the high side of the other lot to minimize disturbance at the bottom of the driveway. Mr. Capachietti would like to know if Andover approved the septic design. Mr. Blaisdell states they are waiting for the well to be installed for final approval. They are experiencing some issues with approval since the well is located across the town line. Mr. Mabon requests that detail cross sections for the retaining walls be submitted. Mr. Napoli requests that the applicant have the Andover Administrator contact the North Andover Administrator regarding the proposal. A motion to continue to December 9, 2020 is made by Mr. Lynch, seconded by Mr. McDonough. Vote 5-0, Unanimous.

Per the homeowner's consultant the site has returned to original condition. A site inspection was performed with the Planning Director, Conservation Administrator, Field Inspector and homeowner and the site has been returned to the original condition. There is one tree that needs additional attention to ensure the root base is clear of incidental loaming. 2020-11-18 Conservation Commission Minutes Page 8 of 9 Approved 01/13/2021 The Conservation Department will keep an eye on the hydroseeding through the winter to make sure the hydroseeding stays put during precipitation and freeze/thaw cycles. The homeowner has agreed to add additional erosion control blankets if there are any problem areas. The plantings and final as-built required in the EO will happen in the spring. There are 6 Ash trees that have been impacted by the Emerald Ash Borer and pose a hazard to power lines and vehicles within the roadway. Some of these trees may be within the Town right of way and the Administrator believes they should be addressed. There is one invasive tree on the property and a tree next to it with a rotted base which should be removed. Mr. Mabon would like to know how the Administrator would like to proceed. The Administrator states the trees are hazardous and recommends issuing a tree removal letter. Mr. Napoli states that he has visited the site and that the work performed was exceptional. Rory Nguyen, the homeowner agrees to remove the invasive tree and tree with the rotted base although they are not located on his property. He would like to know how to proceed with the removal of the Ash trees that could potentially belong to the town. The Administrator states they will permit and condition the removal of the trees via a tree removal letter, they do not usually dictate who performs the removal. The Administrator agrees to contact the DPW and allow them to make the determination. She directs the homeowner to contact the neighbor prior to the removal of the invasive tree and the tree with the rotted base to discuss the removal. The Commission discusses the additional tree removal and agrees to issue a tree removal letter. A motion to continue to June 9, 2021 is made by Mr. Mabon, seconded by Mr. McDonough.

Per the homeowner's consultant all the tasks required in the EO have been completed. A couple of the Commission members met onsite with the consultant to provide feedback regarding what they would like to see in terms of a planting plan and bolstering erosion controls. A site inspection was completed and a few adjustments to the erosion controls are required for this coming winter. The Field Inspector has also provided some recommendations for the erosion controls for the spring. At this time the homeowner is asking for additional time to secure a survey As-Built Plan and prepare the Planting Plan. The Administrator recommends amending the EO to incorporate the Field Inspectors recommendations. She recommends setting a deadline of March 10, 2021 for the submission of an As-Built and Planting Plan and a deadline of May 30, 2021 for the plant installation. Mr. Mabon and Mr. Lynch feel a January 2021 deadline for an As-Built with contour lines and Planting Plan is sufficient. Julie Vondrak, consultant for the homeowner states there are two different types of biodegradable slope matting on site due to the supplier. She believes the matting may have shrunk leaving gaps between the mats. They propose to remove a lot of the material in the spring as they seed down the slope to replace the vegetative cover, there is dense overstory prohibiting understory growth. She requests the NACC to elaborate on what they require moving forward. They would like for the boulders to be worked into the Planting Plan, as they were previously onsite at the time of the disturbance. Ms. Vondrak requests additional time to submit the As-Built and Planting Plan with the upcoming holidays Mr. Napoli directs the consultant to work with the Administrator and Field Inspector. The Commission agrees to a March 10, 2021 deadline for the As-Built and Planting Plan.
