This decision was based on the fact that the applicant demonstrated that there existed a significant doubt or dispute on the basis of credible evidence presented at the meeting relative to the proper location of boundaries. Specifically,the applicant demonstrated that the water did not flow on this property (referred to on the abovementioned plan),towards Lake Cochiewick, and it did in fact flow away fiom Lake Cochiewick. If you have any questions,please do not hesitate to contact me.

The engineer for the U.S.P.S. is stating that he does not feel his portion of the property is located within the Watershed Protection District due to the fact that the water is draining towards the Merrimack River instead of towards Lake Cochiewick. Can you kindly advise me if this is true? The applicant is afforded this right to dispute the delineation of the watershed delineation within the wetland protection district section of the Zoning Bylaw. Specifically,the applicant is referring to the berm that would block the water from flowing towards Lake Cochiewick. The Planning Board has placed the applicant back on their agenda for Tuesday,August 17, 1999. Can you kindly provide me with a response by then, even if it is verbal. 1f you have any further questions,please do not hesitate to contact me at(978)688-9535.

Williams Jr. Environmental Specialist United States Postal Service 6 Griffin Road North Winsor, CT 06006-0300 Re: Proposed Post Office in North Andover at the Lawrence Municipal Airport Dear Mr, Williams, Thank you for coming up to North Andover yesterday to discuss the proposed post office to be located at the Lawrence Municipal Airport. I was pleased to hear that the post office on Main Street will remain as a branch office where the citizens of the community will be able to purchase stamps, mail packages and maintain post office boxes. This downtown office is vital to the community as it is within walking distance of a large numbers of elderly residents. It also serves as a focal point for the downtown. I would be happy to assist you in any way possible to maintain this local post office. As we discussed,the proposed post office is exempt from local permits however it is the policy of the post office to work with the communities and to comply with the local bylaws. This project falls within the Lake Cochichewick Watershed Protection District however you have submitted plans demonstrating that this site actually drains towards the Merrimack River and away from the Lake therefore the project is not subject to the buffer zones. The plan must be reviewed by the DPW for a final determination. This project would also fall under the requirements of the site plan review special permit. Through this permit the Planning Board reviews traffic,parking, lighting, landscaping, storm water drainage, building architecture etc. I have spoken with the Chairman of the Planning Board and at this time we agree that this project should be presented to the Planning Board as a discussion item with notice given to the abutters regarding the presentation. However, the BOARD OIL APPEALS 688-9541 BUILDING 688-9545 CONSERVATION 688-9530 HEALTH 688-9540 PLANNING 688-9535 E i I 9 proposal should meet all of the requirements of site plan review as determined by the Planning ' StafE I would also suggest setting up a meeting with the Technical Review Committee, which is comprised of a representative from the Building, Fire, Police, DPW, Health, Planning and Conservation Departments. This committee meets regularly on the second and fourth Monday of every month at 2:00 p.m. If you have any questions or need additional information please do not hesitate to contact me at (978) 688-9535.
