We have visited and reviewed the proposed site plan for 9 additional parking spaces within the roadway easement off of hillside Road. The current easement roadway does not provide our fire apparatus with sufficient turning radius. We have to back out apparatus up from that point on Hillside Road to either the entrance/exit of the Chestnut Green Complex or to Bucklin Road off of Hillside Road. The additional proposed parking spaces will not impede our response to this complex. Sincerely, `_ CI-14'-AMV;57,14 Lt. Robert Bonenfant Fite Prevention Officer Proudly Serving Since 1921 i i .

The turnaround is for emergency vehicles, and to the best of my knowledge can not be compromised. Fire Prevention would respond as to the dimensional requirements. I believe this turnaround serves the development as well as the office park. Although as much as I would like to see more parking along with accessible parking, if the nine spaces in question compromise the the turnaround thereby compromising life safety I would not be in favor of the additional parking.

Borgesi, PE ? +, Telephone (978) 685-0950 Dir•eetor•cif Engineering Fax(978) 688-9573 November 30, 2016 Ms. ,Jean Enright Planning Director Town of North Andover 1600 Osgood Street North Andover, MA 01845 RE: 565-575 Turnpike Street —9 Additional Parking Spaces Site Plan Review Dear Jean, As requested, Tim Willett the Operations Manager and I have reviewed the proposed site plan application originally submitted in March 2016 and resubmitted in November 2016, for the construction of nine (9) additional parking spaces to be located at the Chestnut Green Condominium Buildings at 565/575 Chestnut Street, as prepared by Merrimack Engineering Services, and submitted on behalf of the Chestnut Green Condominium Association, We offer the following comments on the proposed site plan application: 1. The proposed location for the nine (9) new parking spaces is located off of Hillside Road within a roadway easement developed to allow for the turning of motor vehicles, including public safety vehicles, when the outlet of Hillside Road onto Route 1141Turnpike Street was removed in the early 1980's. Based on a review of the proposed parking space layout, all of the proposed parking spaces are located within this roadway easement area but off of the existing edge of the pavement. Since the proposed spaces are located completely off of the existing edge of pavement, the DPW does not have any concerns with the proposed parking layout. 2. With regards to the existing roadway easement area, as identified on the submitted "Site Development Plan of Land" dated April 20, 2015, according to the supplemental information submitted by Merrimack Engineering Services dated November 2016, there appears to be no deeded easement to the Town of North Andover for access to this area. However, upon review of the master deed for the condominium association (Book 1928, Page 309) (2) "Description of Land" points to "Exhibit A" on page 321 indicates "...subject Page 2 I 1/30/16 to and have the benefit of, as the case may be, the easements, encumbrances, restrictions and appurtenant rights set forth and contained herein and in Exhibit A". Where Exhibit A (Book 1928, Page 321) points to "Plan of Land in North Andover, Mass., drawn for The Newport Group, Elm Sq., Andover, Mass,1"=40', April, 1984, Merrimack Engineering Services." filed as Plan 9538 and shows "Line of Roadway Easement". The DPW recommends that a deeded easement to the Town of North Andover, for the area identified as "Roadway Easement" be developed to clarify the roadway easement access rights for all parties and the deeded easement be recorded at the registry of deeds. 3. The Applicant shall confirm acceptance of the proposed parking layout from the North Andover Fire Department. Sincerely, c John J. Borgesi, P.E.

I don't really have any issues with the design —the soils In the area are not great, but the porous pavement has enough void storage to capture most, if not all of the runoff and will certainly be better than the impervious pavement that is there now. My only comment is that there needs to be a provision for maintenance of the porous pavement over the long term, and sealcoating of the surface should be specifically prohibited. UNH Stormwater Center has some good guidance on the O&M requirements. http:llwww.unh.edu/unhsc/sites/unh.edu.unhsc/ fileslUNHSC%20Porous%2OPavement%2ORoutine%2OMaintenance%2OGuidance%20and%20Checklist%202- 11.pdf Let me know if you need anything else from me on this.
