FieldTurf Product Information. Per request at our TRC mecting regarding the referenced project, this memorandum provides additional information oil the FieldTurf product proposed within the fenced-in rear area of the facility. This product is specifically used for kennel use and is very effective in areas where the dogs need to relieve themselves. For the Sea Dog project, FieldTurf will be provided for the animal guests relieving themselves outdoors, within the fenced area. FieldTurf performs better than regular grass or crushed stone for this application, as it eliminates mud build-up, is safe and environmentally friendly, is free-draining, resilient, and maintains its attractive appearance. The FicldTurf product is a comprehensive engineered and patented system, including the free-draining section design. At the TRC meeting, we were specifically requested to address how dog wastes were handled: Solid waste is picked up immediately by the attendants, sealed in plastic bags, and placed in designated sealed receptacles. The receptacles are frequently emptied into the dumpster, which is frilly enclosed, covered, and screened. This waste stream is not introduced into the sewer or allowed to decompose into the aquifer. Liquid waste passes through the FieldTurf and into the sub-material. The sub- material acts very similar to a septic leach field in that it's open-graded and aerobic. The liquids are treated naturally (including denitrification) and dispersed over a large area, and accepted into the in-situ materials. The drainage design of the rear area was modified to eliminate the previously-proposed direct point collection catch basin which previously piped surface runoff into the drainage basin, Refer to the Drainage Calculations which show that the rear yard area does not increase the peak runoff for the design. Please also refer to the attached documentation discussing FieldTurf s excellent properties as it relates to hygiene, appearance, ease of maintenance, durability, and application for this particular use. i 1 i HYBRID FIBER Polyethylcnaandpolypropyleneblend.

Liquids drain right through, droppings can be picked up as they would be with regular grass and/or washed off with a hose, and dogs can't dig through it! Muddy paw tracks on your carpet will be a thing of the past! Toughness...consider the fact that FieldTurf is being used by the NFL as their playing surface. These guys are going to be more brutal than your kids, pets and friends! Another fact to consider.. we soaked a piece of FieldTurf in a bucket of 100% bleach for 3 weeks and it didn't affect it! Drainage...better than real grass! FieldTurf has a patented porous backing that drains water at a rapid rate. Coupled with the decomposed granite, it is a wonderful drainage system for your lawn. Unlike ALL competing turfs, FieldTurf does not have to drill holes in its backing to allow for drainage. Due to its extremely porous design, mold and mildew are never a problem. i Non-Staining—we haven't come across anything that can stain it yet. Sticky spills should be hosed off to prevent them from attracting dirt and bugs. Even paint can be softened with paint remover and then rinsed off, Simply put,FieldTurf" is the best product on the market and is the closest alternative to natural grass. A superior product, coupled with professional service, makes EasyTurf the ONLY synthetic turf choice for your home or business. • Great for pets • Drains better than real grass • No bugs so no need for harmful chemicals or pesticides • Environmentally friendly • UVL stabilized to prevent glare and resist fading • S-year warranty FieldTurf is dramatically different from traditional artificial turf. The most striking difference is immediately obvious. Instead of a dense, abrasive rug, FieldTurf's fiber surface is soft and silky—like new blades of grass in a spring meadow. But FieldTurf is much more than just the absence of abrasions. Unlike traditional artificial turf, FieldTurf does not rely on an underlying shock pad for safety, resilience and player comfort. Rather, like its natural grass cousin, FieldTurf s grass fibers are surrounded and stabilized by a special blend of"synthetic earth"FieldTurfs patented mixture of smooth, rounded silica sand, and ribber granules made of re-ground athletic shoe and recycled tire material. The rubber granules are a key component in the artificial turf. Tire rubber is cryogenically frozen, shattered into smooth, clean, rounded particles, sized and shaped to stay"in suspension" with the sand, which is of a similar size, shape and weight. The sand and rubber are precision layered to guarantee uniformity, with an installation process that is also patented. The result: A stable, resilient, uniform, shock-absorbing artificial turf surface. FieldTurf is the original and only system emulating natural grass, ideal not only for athletes at the elite level but for everyday activities of active, competitive young people. FieldTurf ground covers are the most unique in the world, Fabricated from synthetic fibers that look and feel so close to natural grass it's almost impossible to tell the difference. Engineered into their design are qualities to help them perform at their best for years. FieldTurf is by far the most ideal solution to the high costs of maintaining your property, driving range, or other environments that require natural grass applications. FieldTurf gives years of grass-like appearance and use without the regular maintenance of natural grass. It is a patented product that replaces grass in residential, athletic and commercial applications, I A fi DuraSpine Monofilament - Always striving for perfection, FieldTurf presents the DuraSpine Monofilament Turf(MF) System. The DuraSpine MF fiber is based on similar structures found in nature. The arched profile features a durable"Spine"which runs vertically through the center of each fiber. Like the center stem or vein in a blade of grass or a leaf, this spine gives each fiber unmatched"memory" and thus, resistance to matting. Other types of synthetic turf are years away from this new technology. DuraSpine MF is extruded through a spinneret which makes it a tree monofilament fiber- not a flimsy slit tape like competing products. DuraSpine MF delivers unmatched durability, especially resistance to wear. Tests indicate that FieldTurf s DuraSpine MF fiber is far more resistant to UV damage and foot traffic, the two main enemies of any turf system. DuraSpine MF is not abrasive but silky and lush just like nature intended. Proprietary polyethylene "alloy" fiber engineered specifically for FieldTurf. Very low Abrasion index (similar to natural grass) so you won't get rug burn. Designed to stand up to years of use and exposure to the elements in any climate around the world. Contains UV inhibitors that do not need reapplication. Patented permeability system giving FieldTurf excellent usage in all weather environments. No ponding...Drains faster than natural grass at 40 to 60 inches per hour. Patented system does not require the addition of burned or drilled holes for percolation, which weaken the system. Patented silica sand and cryogenic rubber infill that is almost 3 times as heavy as competing systems. This exclusive infill provides superior safety, grass-like stability and better long-terns resilience. Cryogenic rubber infill that is rounded and does not attract microscopic bubbles of air. As a result it does not contain as much dust as does mechanically recycled rubber, not does it float or get displaced in high use areas. Ambient rubber is jagged, floats and moves with the water flow, migrating to the edges of the field. An 8-year warranty backed by FieldTurf. In the 20 years the product has been in use, FieldTurf has never had to replace an installation for warranty. Plus, all warranties are all backed by insurance policies to give you complete confidence. Environmental Advantages: - Made from recycled materials - Assures more judicious use of pesticides and herbicides - Does not require water - Low impact on environment j I ENVIRONMENTALLY-SAFE The results of a long-term study confirms that the rubber granules used in the construction of artificial turf fields pose absolutely no threat to the environment. The results indicate the f611owing: 1 - A comparable behavior regardless which type of infill material was used -whether SBR from used tires, new TPE thermoplastic material or EPDM new virgin rubber material. 2 - The absence of impact of these materials on water resources. 3 - There was no effect on health associated with the inhalation of VOC and aldehydes emitted by artificial surfaces. 4 - Emissions from the artificial turf without any infill material are very low compared with those from other construction products (ex: parquet flooring). S - The emissions from the artificial turf containing SBR(rubber granules from used tires) and from TPE (new material thermoplastic rubber granules) are both relatively low. "Relatively low" by European standards signifies an environmentally safe substance, 6 - The emissions fi-oni the artificial turf containing EPDM (new virgin material rubber granules) are greater. 7 - From an ecotoxico logical point of view and on the basis of a comparison with strict European health standards, the water that passed through the artificial grass sample fields was proven to have no impact on the environment, regardless of the type of infill in the turf. "The results conic to the dismay of certain individuals in the natural grass industry," said FieldTurf Tarkett CEO David Moszkowski. "The natural grass industry, with over$40 billion in annual sales of herbicides, pesticides, sod and seed, has been running a very organized attack against artificial grass to prevent the erosion of their market share. They have been feeding false and misleading information to local communities, environmental groups and media sources in an attempt to scare people with phony claims of danger from the rubber granules from used tires. As the global leader, it is FieldTurf Tarkett's responsibility to provide accurate information to make sure everyone understands the truth," Since its revolution of the artificial grass industry, and indeed the world of sport itself, FieldTurf, the global leader in artificial turf, has made a commitment to positively impact the environment. With a commitment to innovative ways to reduce waste, reuse resources and recycle I 1 i products, FieldTtirfs patented infill process features only clean, washed silica sand and cryogenically processed rubber granules, whose recycling process eliminates all metallic and polyester residues. The success of FieldTurf has resulted in massive reductions in the use of water and dangerous chemicals. A typical natural grass football field can use 3,000,000 gallons of water per year. Over 90,000,000 pounds of herbicides; 1,400,000,000 pounds of commercially produced synthetic fertilizer; and 420,000,000,000 pounds of pesticides are used each year to maintain natural grass. FieldTurf eliminates the need for these toxic materials in providing;its proven safe and durable playing fields. STUDY PROVES RUBBER GRANULES IN ARTIFICIAL TURF ARE SAFE The results of a long-term study confirms that the rubber granules used in the construction of artificial turf fields pose absolutely no threat to the environment. ALIAPUR, the leading French government body responsible for used tires, along with ADEME, the French Agency for Environment and Energy Management has completed a scientific study that aimed at evaluating possible environmental impact from the rubber granules in sports fields that are derived from recycled used car tires. The studies prove no cause for concern to human health. The main goal of the study was to determine the quality of water transferred into the natural environment after passing through the rubber granules and other infill materials from the artificial grass sports fields. In addition, the study obtained a detailed analysis and evaluation of the gas emissions generated by these fields. As part of the testing methodology, three artificial grass sample fields were infilled with three different materials, to create real life replicas of artificial turf fields used around the world in schools, parks and playgrounds. Each artificial grass sample field used a different rubber infill; A - SBR(rubber granules from used tires). B - TPE(new material thermoplastic rubber granules). C - EPDM (new virgin material rubber granules), An artificial grass carpet with no rubber infill was also used as a control field sample, Initiated in 2005, this study was conducted with the scientific aim of replicating normal field usage conditions to properly evaluate any potential environmental impact from runoff water and the potential of any health risk from gaseous emissions. The results indicate the following: 1 - A comparable behavior regardless which type of infill material was used - whether I� SBR from used tires, new TPE thermoplastic material or EPDM new virgin rubber material. 2 -.The absence of impact of these materials on water resources, 3 - There was no effect on health associated with the inhalation of VOC and aldehydes emitted by artificial surfaces. i 4 - Emissions from the artificial turf without any infill material are very low compared with those from other construction products (ex; parquet flooring). 5 - The emissions from the artificial turf containing SBR(rubber granules from used tires) and from TPE (new material thermoplastic rubber granules) are both relatively low. "Relatively low" by European standards signifies an environmentally safe substance. 6 -The emissions from the artificial turf containing EPDM (new virgin material rubber granules) are greater. 7 - From an ecotoxicological point of view and on the basis of a comparison with strict European health standards, the water that passed through the artificial grass sample fields was proven to have no impact on the environment, regardless of the type of inf;ll in the turf. A Health Risk Evaluation (HRE) was performed by INERIS, the French National Institute for Industrial Environment and Risks, in order to evaluate more precisely, in indoor situations, the health risks linked to the inhalation of the VOC and aldehydes of which these emissions have been quantified by the scientific and technical center of France. The results of the INERIS Health Risk Evaluation, based on the concentration of the substances and worst-case scenarios, indicate that the VOC and aldehyde emissions from the three types of artificial grass fields studied in small and poorly ventilated indoor gymnasium situations are of no cause for concern for human health, for the workers installing the surfaces as well as for the general public, professional or amateur athletes, adults and children. In conclusion to its study, the INERIS stipulates that the health risks associated with the inhalation of VOC and aldehydes emitted by artificial grass fields in outdoor situations give no cause for concern towards human health. "The results come to the dismay of certain individuals in the natural grass industry," said FicldTurf Tarkett CEO David Moszkowski. "The natural grass industry, with over$40 billion in annual sales of herbicides, pesticides, sod and seed, has been running a very organized attack against artificial grass to prevent the erosion of their market share. They have been feeding false and misleading information to local communities, environmental groups and media sources in an attempt to scare people with phony claims of danger from E 1 the rubber granules from used tires. As the global leader, it is FieldTurf Tarkett's responsibility to provide accurate information to make sore everyone understands the truth." The results of this study should come as no surprise to the scientific community. Hundreds of such studies carried out by and for governmental health, safety and environmental agencies worldwide have reached similar conclusions. These are further validated by a significant amount of research done by FIFA, SAPCA (Sports and Play Construction Association), the French Laboratory of Research & Control for Rubber& Plastics, The Dutch National Institute for Public Health &The Environment, The European Commission's Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment, The University of Dortmund Institute for Environmental Research, The Swiss Federal Authority of Health, The Norwegian Institute of Public Health, The Radium Hospital Danish Ministry of the Environment - along with many other reputable organizations worldwide.

The Leased Premises consists of a portion of vacant land within the Lawrence Municipal Airport, North Andover, MA (the "Airport"), which is owned by the City of Lawrence, and operated through the Municipal Lawrence Airport Commission. According to the Town of North Andover Zoning Map, the Leased Premises is located in the Industrial 2 District(the "I-2 District") and the Watershed Protection District (the "WPD District"). Therefore the use of the Leased Premises is subject to the use regulations set forth in Sections 4.133 and 4.136.2 and 4.136.3.a—c inclusive of The Zoning Bylaw for the Town of North Andover, last amended July 10, 2006 (the `Bylaw"). As shown on the accompanying plans entitled "Special Permit Site Plan, for Sea Dog Kennel, 500 Sutton Street, North Andover, Massachusetts 01845"prepared by MHF Design Consultants, Inc., dated November 16, 2007, as may be revised (the "Plans"), the Petitioner is proposing to construct a twenty thousand, five hundred forty(20,540)-square foot building (the "Building") at the Leased Premises that will be used as a pet care facility. According to Gerald Brown, the Inspector of Buildings for the Town of North Andover, the proposed use and development activity at the Leased Premises is permitted subject to the receipt of a Site Plan Special Permit Linder Section 8.3 of the Bylaw and the issuance of two (2) Special Permits Lender Section 4.136.4 of the Bylaw. Therefore, Petitioner hereby respectfully requests that the Planning Board (the "Board") for the Town of North Andover grant Petitioner the required relief to construct the Building and operate a pet care facility on the Leased Premises as further described below, DESCRIPTION OF THE PREMISES The Leased Premises is located at the intersection of Sutton Street, Old Clark Street, and the Airport Entrance Drive. The Leased Premises consists off all upland within the I-2 and WPD Districts. Lake Coehichewick (the "Lake") is the wetland resource area closest to the Airport but is still more than 247 feet from the edge of the closest lot line to the Airport and more than 300 feet away from the Leased Premises. The property that constitutes the Airport was subdivided prior to October 24, 1994 and therefore the applicable limits of the non-disturbance and non- discharge areas are 250 feet and 325 feet, respectively. Zoning Board of iippeals—Norllr Andover 500 Surion Sheet,Lawrence Airport Page 2 of 6 i DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT A. Use. The Petitioner is proposing to develop the Leased Premises as a kennel and pet daycare facility (the"Fa—-cility") that will also offer grooming and training services, and will sell, in limited amounts, pet supplies to customers of the kennel. All such activities will be conducted within the Building. Such proposed uses are permitted in the 1-2 District under Sections 4.133,20. and 4.133.3. of the Bylaw subject to the issuance of a Special Permit for Site Plan Approval under Section 8.3 of the Bylaw and are permitted in the WPD District under Sections 4.136.3.a.ii.(2) and 4.136.3(b)(ii)(1) of the Bylaw subject to the issuance of two (2) Special Permits under Section 4.136.4 of the Bylaw. As required by Section 4,133.20 of the Bylaw all principal activities at the Facility must be conducted within the Building. As shown on the floor plans for the Building (the "Floor Plans"), which have been submitted herewith and are attached to the Plans, each room is labeled to identify the various activities available to pets using the Facility. The Floor Plans include the following: on the first and second floors there are six (6) play rooms and an indoor pool where pets will be given time to play and exercise throughout the day; also on the first floor there is one (1) training room where pets will participate in discipline training during the day and where evening training classes will be held; and on the first and second floors there are holding and rest areas where pets will have access to kennel dins and sleeping crates; and on the first floor there is a waiting area where pets will be received or delivered by pet care technicians as they are dropped off or picked up. All such activities are considered principal to the operation of a kennel. On the Site Development Plan, see page 5 of the Plans, there is an outside area that is shown directly behind the Building and is enclosed by a chain link fence. This area does not involve any principal activities conducted at the Facility. The Petitioner will not place any kennels or kennel runs in this area nor will the Facility offer any training classes, or exercise time, or holding time in this area. At certain times during the day, a pet care technician will bring one or more dogs into the area to relieve themselves. In the event any single pet is known to bark or create problems with the other pets, that pet will not be permitted into the outside area. The purpose of this outside fenced in area is ancillary to the principal activities that will be conducted at the Facility. A use such as a kennel customarily requires an outside area where the dogs can relieve themselves and is reasonably necessary to the operation of the Facility. The use limitation set forth in Section 4.133.20 of the Bylaw provides that kennels are permitted provided all activities take place within an enclosed building. It is the position of the Petitioner that the limitation applies to the principal activities related to the operation of the kennel and not to the ancillary use of the rear fenced in area. S:11.701'ence -(The DF11arker Conrpany.LLC)2007-46YIermitsidleuro-Site Plan Special Permit Regnestdoe i E, Zoning Hoard of Appeals—Norlh Andover .500 Sutton Slreet,Lmvrowe Airport j Page 3 of 6 When interpreting zoning bylaws, the courts in Massachusetts have held' that if the principal and permitted use of a property requires an ancillary activity, without which the customary activities of said permitted use would be severely compromised, that ancillary use, which should have been anticipated, should be permitted. It is generally understood and accepted that if a pet is a resident at a kennel, that pet will need to relieve itself during its stay and that some pets, and their owners, prefer to do so outdoors. It is the position of the Petitioner that the use of the outside fenced in area as a limited relief area is a customary and anticipated ancillary use and does not violate Section 4.133.20 of the Bylaw and that the intention of the restriction is to ensure that the principal uses of the property do not unreasonably interfere with any neighboring uses. The Petitioner respectfully suggests to the Board that the relief area is as necessary to the operation of a kennel as a loading or unloading space would be for a factory or parkirig/drop- off/pick-up area for a repair shop or shopping center and therefore should be permitted and deemed not to be in conflict with the provisions of Section 4.136.20 of the Bylaw. B. Building and Site Development The Petitioner is proposing to construct the Building, install and maintain surface and subsurface discharge structures, and operate the Facility, as herein described and as further detailed on the Plans, within the 1-2 District and within the General Zone of the WPD District. The Petitioner is also proposing to undertake some minor grading and to install a small portion of the emergency overflow outlets within the Non-Discharge Zone of the WPD District, as detailed on the and WPD Zone Summary Plan, see page 8 of the Plans. The subject proposal meets all of the density and dimensional requirements of the I-2 District and to the extent practicable complies with the best management practices for erosion, siltation, and stormwater control as required by the WPD District. Additional information about the materials that Petitioner is proposing to use in the outdoor area and the manner of disposing of the solid wastes that will be produced by the pets using the Facility is submitted herewith. All solid wastes generated by the pets will be picked up immediately by the pet care technicians, placed in sealed plastic bags, and deposited in sealed receptacles, which in turn will be emptied into the outside dumpster, which is fully Enclosed, covered, and screened, the waste inside the dumpster will then be picked up and transported offsite by a waste disposal company. When dogs relieve themselves in the outdoor area, any liquid waste will pass tlu•ough the artificial turf, which will be used to cover the ground within the fenced in area, and into open- graded and aerobic sub-material. This sub-material is designed to permit natural treatment (including denitrification) of the liquid waste that will then be dispersed over a large area. This : See,Mahoney v, City of Chelsea,20 Mass.App.Ct. 91,478 N.E.2d 160,Mass.App.,1985, This is a case in which Town officials sought to hnut certain ancillary activities at a property,however, the court determined that an ancillary use, which was standard and necessary, should have been anticipated by the Town and therefore should be permitted. 2 Another use that is also permitted in the I-2 District provided such use is conducted within a building is the operation of an automotive repair business. It is clear that the intention of this limitation is to ensure that all repairs are conducted inside a building. A customary and ancillary use of a property used as a repair shop would be the outdoor parking of vehicles prior to and after arty repairs are completed, S:IFlorence -(The UFParker Coupan),,LLC)1007-4G1Pernoslifento-Sile Plait Special Permit Regrresl.doc 1 "Lotting Board of Appeals—Nor1k Andover 500 Sutton Sit-eel,Lawrence Airport Page 4 of 6 system performs better than regular grass or crushed stone. It is safe and environmentally friendly and will eliminate mud build-up. Given the treatment provided to any liquid waste, the use of the fenced in area as a "relief area"will have no detrimental impact on the ground water. WPD DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS As shown on the WPD Zone Summary Plan, see page 8 of the Plans, the majority of the Leased Premises, which includes the Building, septic system, and parking areas are located within the General Zone of the WPD District, which uses of the land are permitted within the General Zone subject to the review and issuance by the Board of a Special Permit under Section 4.136.4 of the Bylaw. It is important to note that none of the structures being proposed or the septic system are located within the 250 foot non-disturbance zone limit (the "Non-Disturbance Area") or the 325 foot non-discharge zone limit(the"Non-Discharge Area") and that none of the Leased Premises is located within the Conservation Zone of the WPD District. Petitioner is proposing to conduct some ancillary grading necessary for proper site development and safety requirements and to locate a small portion of the emergency overflow outlets within the Non-Discharge Area, which activities are permitted within the Non-Discharge Area subject to the review and issuance by the Board of a Special Permit under Section 4.136.4 of the Bylaw. The issuance of the aforementioned Special Permits is conditioned upon a showing by the Petitioner that the proposed uses and activities (the grading and installation of emergency overflow outlets) will not impact the purity of the ground water and the Lake; impact the ground water table; or negatively impact the filtration and purification function of the land, The Petitioner, as shown on the Plans and as further described in the drainage report, submitted with the subject application for zoning relief, has demonstrated, to the extent practicable, compliance with those standards. I-2 DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS A. General Dimensional Requirements of the 1-2 Zone (see Table 2 of the Bylaw) The construction of the Building and development and use of the Leased Premises as the Facility, to the extent applicable, meets all of the dimensional and density requirements of the 1-2 District, Due to the location of the Leased Premises within the Airport, as shown on the Location Map, see page 1 of the Plans, only a review of the setback to Old Clark Street and the height of the proposed Building is applicable. Based on a review of the Plans, the Leased Premises occupies a portion of the Airport that has frontage on Old Clark Street, therefore the placement of the Building must meet the current minimum set back requirement of fifty(50) feet from Old Clark Street, As shown on the Site Development Plan, see page 5 of the Plans, the Building is set back, at its closest point, 50,40 feet from the property line and therefore complies with the set back requirement in the I-2 District. The other applicable requirement is that the maximum height of any building proposed within the I-2 District be equal to or less than fifty- five (55) feet. The height of the Building, as shown on the building elevations, is twenty-eight (28) feet and therefore complies with the applicable height limitations. All of the other dimensional and density requirements are far exceeded and due to the location of the Leased Premises within the Airport are not applicable to the current application, 5:�1F7orence -(The DFI'arker Company,L1,C)1007-46WerrniislHemo-Site Plan Special Permit Refit{esuloc i Zoning Board of Appeals—Not-Ili Andover i 500 Sutton Street,Lawrence Airport Page 5 of 6 �I B. General Parking Requirements of the I-2 Zone (See Section 8.1 of the Bylaw) ) For purposes of calculating the number of parking spaces required for the Facility, the Petitioner suggests to the Board and Building Commissioner that the proposed use of the Facility requires a total of twenty-six (26) parking spaces and twenty-seven (27) parking spaces have been provided. The Petitioner based its determination on the following: The Facility will be open for frill service pet day care Monday through Sunday from 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.n-1. At capacity, the Facility will have in its care a total of 150 pets with tip to 12 pet care technicians. Training Services will be offered during the evening hours from 7:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. and will be limited to 12 pets for any single class and will be separated by a sufficient amount of time to ensure that pets are not coming to class at the same time the previous class is ending. In addition, the dropping off and picking up of pets will be scheduled to ensure that no pets are waiting to enter the Facility. While training classes are being conducted, the Petitioner estimates that up to 6 pet care technicians will be onsite and operating the kennel and up to 2 pet care technicians will be facilitating the training classes.

He is also a Veterinarian.Although we do not know the capacity of the kennel, he did not view it much different than an average vet. He had no issue or recommendations on the handling of the waste or with the disposal plan utilizing the dumpster.

To my knowledge,the applicant never checked with DPW for approval to tie into the municipal drainage system even though it had been listed in all three of VHB's reviews (item 19). The DPW is implementing a policy change that does not allow connection of private systems to the municipal drain without a thorough analysis ofthe existing system,to verify its present capacity and future expansion. VIA has been advised of this and F d like the Board to also be aware. a. (Because of the late stage of this project, connection is approved 2. Ground water monitoring wells @clog waste areas were requested at the TRC meeting in N ember to monitor potential contamination'of ground water flowing to the lake. Ya. The applicant is adding these. 3. There are questions about the hydraulic model used to analyze the site a. Questions have been addressed by the applicant 4. Detail for roof drain tie in to infiltration trench not allowing direct flow to outlet pipe to DMH 1 a. Detail has been provided 5. Location of stormeeptor not clear on plan the town cannot maintain and does not accepted these types of structures a. These structures are off the right of way on private property, They will not be a responsibility for the town. Why is there a sump @ DMH—6? a.

I i MEMORANDUM To: North Andover Planning Board Date: 12 September 2008 From: Karl R. Dubay,P.E. Re: Sea Dog Kennel Site Plan Response to VHB review comments dated 09-10-08 The revised plans dated September 2008 incorporate the following responses: 8. The FieldTurf detail was provided to us directly from the manufacturer, who has extensive experience in turf installations, including Gillette Stadium. To maintain system warranties, installation is directly managed and performed by the manufacturer. Additionally, our detail sheets include notes requiring coordinated detailed shop drawing submittal reviews. 17. CB3 has been set offline as recommended, via addition of DMH6. For additional sedimentation capacity, we have also specified DMH6 with a deep sump. The sump itself could be eliminated if the reviewer and Town prefer otherwise. The grading and detail sheet have been revised to include this change. 19. This design connection is the same as previously approved with the former site plan, which included Town department approvals. This design will improve the drainage performance at Old Clark Street.
