Planning Board Toren of North Andover Detain Street-Toren Building North Andover, NIA 01845 Dear Mr. Hedstrom: In regards to the proposed modifications on Gilman Lane, the Conservation Cotnniission approves. The elimination of the access easement on Lot 25 will allow changes in lot linos which will help protect a Wetland Area which en- compasses all of .Lot 27 and parts of Lot 26. In effect, the lot changes will allow the developer to move site construction on Lot 26 in a northerly direr-- tion » array from the Wetland areas on this site. Enclosed is a copy of the Order of Conditions issued to the applicant regard- ing the Gilman Lane subdivision. As you can, see, it reflects our desire to protect these Wetlands. Before this Order was :issued, the applicant informed us that the proposed modifications would be a possible gray of avoiding the on-site Wetlands. Therefore, the Order of Conditions was written to accom- odate these proposals should they meet approval with your board. Lastly, the proposed modifications will insure the proper, location of drain easements, thus helping to protect against flooding hazards. Lot 27 has been offered to the Town, and is contiguous to the above referenced easements, thus providing appropriate flood crater storage and aiding in the prevention of flood damage and pollution. . For further input, I will be at your. June 11 1981 public hearing. Sincerely, nes R. Lafond Chairman, NACC I'0,VV N OF, NCWR�TH ATA.DOVrJ­v, MASSACHUSE TrS T F E,VI Vi 0 N F 6 8 3-7 b, June 12, 1981 Re: GiDiian Lane Subdivision changes. Paul Iledstrom, Esquire North Andover Planning Board Main Street - Town Building North Andover, MA 01845 Dear Mr. Hedstrom: The purpose of this letter is to submit to you information relative to the proposed changes in the subdivision plans for Gilman Lane, submitted by Mr. Patrick S. Cone. We should first note that the changes in the subdivision plan were proposed by Mr. Cone at the request of the North Andover Conser- vation Commission in order -to protect the existing wetlands in Lots 26 and 27 of said plan. After reviewing the revised plan for this subdivision, and conducting another site visit ( June 61 1981 ), we believe the shifting of the lot line and the protection of the wetlands on these lots is in the best interests of the Town of North Andover. More specifically we would urge your approval of the revised subdivision plan for the following reasons: 1. Shifting of the lot lines allows for construction of the house and associated sewage disposal system on Lot 26-A with minimum filling of -the wetland on this lot. 2. Enlarging and shifting of the easement between Lots 26-A and 2? would allow the developer to i-iiaintain the swale between these two lots in its current, fully stabilized condition. And, 3. Minimizing the work in and around I)ot 27 would preserve this wetland area in its natural, condition and thus keep its value as a flood detention and open space area. Finally, we believe that the drainage easement through Lot 2? should follow the course of the existing awale and ditch along the perimeter of this lot, rather than diagonally across the lot. The "perimeter" easement is prefer- able to the "diagonal" easement because-. 1. The perimeter swale would have a higher flood storage and attenuation value than the diagonal swale. GILMAN LANE, SUBDIVISION CHANGES PAGE, TWO JUNE 12 L-1 981 2. Construction of the diagonal drain would involve signif- icant work and damage in a Wetland. area. 3. Because of the runoff, onto Lot 2?, from wetland areas in Lot 26 and from across Farnum Street through a drain un- der the street, the perimeter swales would -probably need to be kept in addition to the diagonal drain. IF. The perimeter swale is fully stabil-ized and would require a minimum of work as opposed to the construction of a whole now diagonal- drain. Although the perimeter drain may require some additional effort in maintenance as compared to the diagonal.. drain, we firmly believe its benefits far outweigh this minimal additional effort. In sum, we believe the proposed revisions to the siabdivigion plan for Gilman Lane -.result in a development that affords better protection. to the Town's wetlands than the original. plan. The revised plan is in compliance with the objectives and specifications of the North Andover Conservation Commission's Order of Conditions issued on April 3, 1981. Therefore, we respectfully urge your approval of the revised plan. Sincerely, For the Conservation Commission, lefond, Chairman I/Gx V r._. June 16 , 1981 E Mr . Patrick S .

Re: 'Gilman Lane Dear Paul: At the request of Pat Cone, T am submitting a status report- on -this subdivision. All wore, with the exception of finish grading and clean up, has been completed. and approved. There is still additional grading and seeding to be done to blend. in 'the shoulders with the finish coat of h.ottop and also around the entrance area. There are 4 catch basins, which have to have their sumps clean out. I would recommend that $1.3,000.00 could be released, at this time. This would leave a balance of $1,000.00, to Finalize all other work and also to act as an assurance that the grass and clean up will be in a satisfactory condition and well started. This balance could. be released by Sept. 15th of this year, if the grass progresses well. Very 'truly yours, 4 William A.

Some large stone rip rap to be set on either side of concrete headwall. Seeding at this time, of the year is a gamble.
