March 1 , 1976 Dear Members, aben we bought our property at 12 Sutton dill Road tivent,y years ago , Glen load was shown on the plan as a road which would someday b© behind our property. Jftat form it would take , a dead end street or (9, full street , was something we never knew. Nevertheless , the fact that it was a road implied certain safeguards , e .g. maintenance by the Town, catch basins, berms , etc. Now that a driveway is going to replace Glen Road as the means of access to lots in the Appledore developoment there are questions which arise in terms of protection of abutting property. Perhaps you can answer them or refer me to the proper Town Department for answers . � The questions are : 1) What footage is required on either side of a driveway for protection of abutting property? 2) This proposed driveway which will run between the ,Bradley and Caimi homes will carry water from the cre:gt of Sutton Hill to a low point beside our back yard . This could ar,gravate and increase an already existing seasonal accumulation of water . 'ire there any re'auirements for controlling or directinf* tha flow of water from the crest of the hill? 3) May the drainage plans be seen by an abutter? 4) If it is not out of order , I would Itke to ask that the site of the proposed driveway be viewed by members of the Pla.nninF Board . Our concern is understandable if you know that for many years we had lavin washouts from the flow of water from the crest of Sutton Hill Road down into our front ,yard . It was partially corrected about six years ago through cooperr motion between us and the Town . The Town put in berms and tried to correct the patch of the road ; we built and seeded ban'x_ings . It is still a problem under certain conditions . It manes sense to us to bring this to ,your attention before , rather than after a problem exists even though I am referring to a. driveway rather than to a Town road . I understand your answer to me at the Planning Board Meeting of Harch 1 , 1976 but could you not encoura:•e Appledore Associates to tale every precaution in re •ard to drainaC-,e? I wish to emphasize that this letter in no way indicates objection to the access route to the Appledore lots or the development of them ; our only concern is drainaCe . Thank you for any attention you `ive to this letter before the lots are released . An a.ns,ier to my questions will be appreciated .

Dear Planning Board, In my letter of March 1, 1976 1 said that I do not object to the access route to the Appledore :dots. I am concerned, however, regarding the form that the access route takes, e.g. , driveways or a town road. A torn road, as I stated in that Letter, implies certain j safeguards; maintenance by the town, proper drainage, catch basins, and berms, etc. Another safeguard a town road provides is public safety in terms of fire. 1 request that you obtain an opinion from the Fire Chief ( in accordance with Section III E-1 of the Revision to Subdivision Rules) about accessability to lots 30, 31 and 32 in case of fire now that driveways are under consideration as access routes. By definition, ( Pg. 5 of Zoning By-laws) , a "Lot line, rear" is "The lot line opposite and most distant from the front lot line". By definition, ( $ection II A of Revision of Subdivision Rules) , a driveway is "a means of vehicular access to a lot , either through the frontage or from streets adjacent to the side or rear lot lines. Each driveway shall serVIce no more than one lot, except for multi- j family dwellings". Sutton Hill Road i® not adjaoent to the rear lot Lines of lots 30, 31 and 32, I think that that 18 why it appears ( on the Study Plan of this area) to be somewhat unusual to see driveways placed between already established homes in order to reach rear lot lines which are not adjacent to any street. I, respectfully ask you to consider my opinion that Glen Road should be built in the interest of public safety and In order to abide by the zoning laws of North Andover. As you hold your meetings to deal with the general: problems of North Andover' s rapid growth may I suggest that you consider , whether of not It Is a, wise precedent to allow driveways to be built between already established homes in order to provide access routes to near or hard-to-reach lots. Would you •kindly check on the disposition of my March 1, 1976 letter which I understand has been referred to another department . I have received no acknowledgement nor answers to any questions ,:, which are of some importance to me as an abutter to Glen Road, arti cularly those referring to drainage and required footage to pro ect abutting property. Sinaff,, ly, r� Mary AranI so 41 (mra. Henry G. . Jr. ) t Mrs. Henry G. Armitage, Jr. �,g P 12 Sutton Hill Road North Andover, Mass. 01845 July 189 1976 Conservation Commission North Andover, Mass. , Dear Members of the 6onservation Commi ns'lon, on Oct. 29th, I 3 i first expressed my concern about a series of emall ponda in the waterahed of Lako Coohiohowlak which were also located within land acquired for devolopement to bo known as Appl.o old This wetland is part of the feeder/filter system to Labe Cochichowick and enters tho Lakb near the Leland property into the part of the Leko knovm as "the hatch", -( seo South Groveland quadrangle Geological Survey Map)— Nothing unusual or unreasonable was asked for their protection. Just that they should come under the jurisdiction of the' Conservation CommiaBlon and that the protected area be oultablo to allow for pro- teati,on of wildlife, for recreational use by Town poople, particularly youngsters, and to prohibit excoasive or damaging run-off and Cvai_nm age from devel.opement. It was also suggested that the developers might be willing to modify their lobs abutting the wetland area In cooperation with this attempt -to keep for North Andover that which contributes to the . character of North Andover. In this area, at that timed wero four. very large lots and one. smallor 10t. It seemed not impossible that by sacrificing the smaller lot (#31 - Drainage Study Plan of 1974) asocoa=o from Sutton Hill Road could be gained for two lots on trio Northerly side of the ponds and that two could b© developed on the ,,goutharly side, with the ponds in-between obtaining as much protection as possible. Unfortunately, such cooperation did not materialize, Subsequently, the threo ponds were altered and became one larger pond® Since them I have read , in the May 5, 1.976 -Tri..bune, that the Lads® CochichewIck Study Committee "points to the turbid condition of the grater in the Hatoh, the shallow 1.9 acre separate porti6n ( of the lake) as an exam le of what, is In store for the Hi g Lake if add;i ti an�a.l protective measures are not developed and i.mplomented in the Tribuna of Monday, June 210 1976, an article entitled, � "pert urges concern for Lake Cochichowicl It states, "The natural evolution of lakes to marshes, an aging procoss which may span geologic time, Is speeded up by man° a activity Including fertilization, clearing of land, road and home building", Pojasek said . "A lake situated In a natural fortile basin may age rapidly as nutrients poux^ in and feed aquatic plants' etc. Among his recommendations are, "Strict guidelines for cons.t;ruction projects in the wateralied, especially for erosion control and drainage. All exi,stln� regulations should be enforced. Conservation Commission and Lake Committee should supplement these wlth local, ordinances". 2 d Erooion control had to be enforced during the road building in .Appledoro as heavy siltation occurred In the wetland pond. Th®rea i® an ever increasing algae growth In Sutton° s Pond viorthy of your observation. Now it appears, Vdth the introduction by Appledora Associates of now plans for the area surrounding they pond that five loto in this area wore not enough. Tho number of lots has been Incroased to sevono A minimal basement for the tolln (not for the Connorvation Commission) le provided for around the ponds gapparantly to gipvo acooss to the town to maintain them now that they havo become a eolloasal. catch-basin® 4'Ihethor the town Department of Public Works hiao agreod to this or not T do not know. There also appear to be unaraowered questions concerning Colon Road, a paper° street Within the boundaries Of the area. Go, Instead' of cooperation to protect North Andover°s moot valuable resource, Lake Coohi.chewick, and Its woods and wetlarids, we have maximum land use at the expeneo of North Andover� s character and the quality of her Laken We have seen the developer' s plans go from five lMsa to coven Iota, and according to the Tribune of July 139 19760 the- reply -or the developer to a 3 to 1 veto of the Planning Board that the area is a sub-di,vislon indicates that he will, "create more and smaller lots to Make up for the cost of road building",- And all, this in the watershed of Lake Coohlohewick. One of my sons said to men to-day, "I was driving through Boxf ord yosterda.y and it rOminded me of the way North Andover used to be"'o The wetland area of the watershed near Button Hill Road repres-entad over one-hundred years of undisturbed ' evoluti.on and was taken for granted . That which was ones -m nearly hidden, quiet , delightful refuge for animals and children alike is now a degraded lure for the prospective buyer who will ultimately add his silt and drainage to the "turbid hatch4 . An ounce of protection would have been worth years of cure. Whatever Is done or , is not done now to protect the, wetl.anda In Appledore will set a precedent for what haopena In the future b' to the remainder of that feeder as It crosses Johnson 8"troot and proceeds through various properties attractive to developers toward Its cutlet. T daresay it 11-111 set a precedent for what happens to other wetlands within the watershed of the lake. This area of four and a half to five acres, which includoo a Paper road and is divided by a caries of ponds which are In tho,; watershed of a lake is obviously a conservationist's dream and a builder ' s nightmare, It has Always puzzled me why knovll odgeabl o'< builders invested in It. T-:have, revlevied this situation in order to ,ask the following questions In that various permiesi,ons granted to Appledore �e I' Associates were based on the 1974 plans shoeing five lots in this area., does their request for two additional lots or more give us an opportunity to re-int;roduco roquests for protection of the wetland? ��.ncerel�fl ., (Al-4 Mare1 Armitage (Hre.

Blackstook, After the December 6, 1977 meeting of the planning Board I intended to send to the board a copy of my remarks of that evening to be filed for reference. After some delay , I enclose them now. (Eno. #1) on that same night , the Planning Board deolded to call a meeting with Attorney Hatem and Mr. Levine. I also enclose , for reference , my worksheet for that proposed meeting whenever It is scheduled. (Eno. I will appreciate your bringing this correspondence (Eno. #2 ) to the attention of the Board members. Thank you. sincerely, Mar 7z-Armita e ' Z g (Mrs . Henry G. , Jr. ) 12 Sutton Hill. Road North Andover , Mass. 01845 Tel. 685-7768 Enc. #I Statement read at Planning Board Meeting on Dec. 6 , 1976 Re : Ponds in Appledore Development Yoatord,:3,y I phoned a amber of the Conservation Commission and two members of the P1 Ing Board because I thought that seeing first hand the tra ional recreational use of Ponds within our watershed would' ramn'tie'ally bring home the massage that out-of-town developers , with no sensitivity to �ihat makes North Andover the kind of town it is , are taking from us -much that we hold dear and value. All day Saturday and Sunday, roughly forty children from all over the area were participating in healthy, invigorating exercise and play as they skated. Indirectly, they were absorbing the beauty provided for so long by those ponds. Sutton's Pond, the largest and once the most crowded of the series of ponds was virtually empty because now, of course, It is privately owned and can be used only with permission. The young people are yet unaware that by this time next year the same will apply to the ponds they were using yesterday and which have been used in this manner for over 150 years. To the best of my knowledge there is not ever a town easement for the protection of these ponds which are a tributary to our . public water supply, or for their use by the Department of Public Works when our resevoirs are emptiod for cleaning or repairs, not- to mention for recreational use.. Their protection, by easement granted. to the Town of North Andover, would in my judgement accomplish the following: 1. ) It would set a provident for the protection of other tributaries to our water supply. 2. ) It would correct an ommission in our Greenbelt Plan which provides nothing for recreation in the general area n question, 3. ) It would serve notice to out-of-town developers who come in to our town. to make money on wall tag: lot plans , with, little regard for traditional and ml�nicipal pro- vision, that we have had enough and plan to protect thRt which is the essence of our town. In the Appledore N6tice of Intent, page 44, line E, it states ,'., that , "The Appledore proposal will : E) Increase the amenities of the town by the preservation of open space and recreation areas . " I do not see any recreation areas provided for the town in the Appledore Development. I earnestly request that you ask flAll- fillm,-nt of thott intention of the Appledore Associates as a means of pursuing protoction and use of the ponds for now and future generations. In that interest I have submitted wording for an article in the Town Warrant to the Conservation Commission and I also submit it to you. It SaY9 as follows : lv\ Cl�v #2 Oorcerntor the Pond; of Appledorr has been throofold ; 1, They Rre , ; _part of the tributgry systom to Lake Cochichnwick, ohr public water supply because of their location in the wptershed. (Summpry) 2. Becnuse of their trnditional and customary use: as a rnoroation area and a sanctuary for wildlifo 3. and , because of their heir use by the N.A. Water. Dept. whor the Sutton Hill resovoirs are drained for cleoning. That which has made land in North Andover mprketoble and lommentary) prof Itqble Is its unique quality of coirbin.J, town nnd rea.1 country living. Is there not some obligation for us all to retain those assets which contribute to this uriquonassy.not .l just for now revidonth but also for those who Ove enjoyed them. in the past - for now and future generations. Because I see this uniqueness diminishing in North Andover, I request confirration of the Intnrtion of Appledore Associates expressed on 2age 4 of the Appledore Notice of Intent, which "M Proposed Modificetions Tho policy of the Appledore owners eccepts the proposition that a mature woodland tract Is sn Mal onvironmpnt for the crnntior of a housing locus . This locus must protect and therefore will protect the notural landsoppe of the woods and ponds. This will allow their use for recreation, conservation and enjoyment of the open spaces Qy—Ehe locus rehifints In particular ana the community as A-TUTER-311-07W And on PRgy 14 of the Appledore Notice of Intent, it shys- "The Appleaore proposal will: . . . . . . . C& Presmrve thn nRtural features of a rural hillside for the usyhnd mrjoyment of the community. . E) Increase the amenities of the town by the preservation of open space and recreation areas. " This appears to be geperous of the duvehloper in terms of usage , nevertheless , I do not Soo any recrention areas provided for the town within the Appledore Vvelopment. In order to insure that the ststO intontion of Appledore Associates is carried out , particularly after the Pond area is sold by them to private owners , I would ask tw6 questions : -1 ) Is the prospective buyer made aware of this intended community use and nnjoyment of the ponds? 2 ) Would It not be advisable for the Town to have RA eqssment Q the location of the ponds to (1 ) protect thjs , tributary to our town wpter supply, (2 ) to gunrantee utilization by the Water Dept, when rended Rwd (3) to insure continued, traditional roorcnVonni use. 'Eric #2 (continued) i General. Information He '. Ponds_ i Skating; The longest skating season in the past 21 years was continual skating from December until March. The shortest skating season. was l? days long. The norm. is about 4-6 weeks of skating. The length of time and intervals depend completely j on the weather conditions , particularly precipitation, icy rain, slushy snow, etc, Fishing: The peak fishing is for about'. three weeks after opening day of the fishing season. Nhen school ends and families go away on vacation there is a let up. During the summer months there is only occassional fishing due in past to mosquitoes . There is another peak of activity just before school begins and them; is general fishing until the weathor chills. Doatl.ng;: Boating is' 'sore-what rare. Once in, a while someone tries a canoe or Inflated boat. calking: It used to bo quite common for children and adults to meander through the woods particularly in zthe area of the ponds. ' Since development that of course is somewhat restricted. f.ssin Around : Duck watching, bird watch-Ing, tad-pole catching, frogging, listening, etc . etc. etc. a.nd • imagin.ery. game playing; Indians , Scouts , hide and seek, have taken place for longer than I know about.
