Project Description
The proposed pool project is located at 104 Bonny Lane and is depicted on North Andover
Assessors Map 62 Lot 47, The parcel consists of 46,209±square feet of land and located on the
northerly side of Bonny Lane down near the end of the road at the cul-de-sac. The pool
construction is over 400 feet from Lake Cochichewick, but within the Watershed Protection
District. The lot was created in 1980, pre-dating the October 24, 1994 implementation of the by-
law. The pool construction is outside of the 250 foot Non-Disturbance buffer and the 325 foot
Non-Discharge buffer from the mean annual high water of Lake Cochichewick. A wetland
resource area, at the northwest corner of the parcel, west of the proposed work, was flagged by
Norse Environmental Services, Inc. in June of 2021. The presence of the wetland means the
pool is located within the 100 foot Non-Disturbance and 325 foot Non-Discharge buffer to a
wetland resource within the Watershed protection District. The lot is served by a municipal
sewerage system so nitrogen and phosphorus contributions to the groundwater will be minimal
and typical of surrounding residential uses. It is anticipated that permit approval will require that
fertilizers to be organic and slow release, free of phosphorus further minimizing chemical impact
to the groundwater.
The proposed project involves the construction of an inground pool with a pervious paver patio
and appurtenant grading to construct it, The parcel currently has a wooden picket fence and a
portion that is chain link which will be replaced with a new chain link fence, in the same location
as the existing fence. The fence encroaching on the abutting property to the north will be
removed.
No perennial streams are shown on or near the lot according to the USGS Massachusetts
StreamStats program and the North Andover Riverfront Map.
A copy of the national Wetland inventory map is enclosed. The flagged wetland on the lot does
not appear on the national map. No wetland area will be disturbed as part of the proposed work.
A copy of the Estimated Habitat Map is not attached as there are no estimated habitats of rare
wetlands wildlife or certified vernal pools on or near the lot according to the Natural Heritage
and Endangered Species Program web site dated August 1. 2021.
A copy of the Flood Insurance Rate Map is attached. The parcel is not in the floodplain per
Flood Insurance Rate Map 25009CO228F, dated July 3, 2012.
Soils on the lot were mapped by the USDA Natural Recourses Conservation Services (NRCS) as
Charleton fine sandy loam, map unit 4060 and Ridgebury/Leicester fine sandy loam, Map unit
715. The Ridgebury/Leicester soil is assigned to Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG) C which are
soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet and are typically vegetated with
wetland plants, the flagged wetland on the lot falls within the area depicted on the map. The soil
map indicates that the work is in close proximity to the boundary between the Ridgebury and
Charleton soil types. It is likely that the work will be conducted in the Charlton soil deposit as
this is an upland soil. The Charleton fine sandy loam is assigned to HSG B, soils with moderate
infiltration rates when thoroughly wetted and consists chiefly of moderately well to well-drained
soil.
Since the project consists of work on a single family house lot, the project is exempt from the
MADEP Stormwater Management Standards. Stormwater will be treated and mitigated by using
porous pavers around the pool perimeter to filter and infiltrate rain falling on the pool area.
During construction, the perimeter of the work will be protected with staked erosion barrier
products to prevent migration of sediment from the site until final stabilization.
Supporting Documentation:
1. Encouraging the most appropriate use of land
The proposed use of a pool at a single family dwelling is appropriate as the site is located
within the R1 zoning district and swimming pools are common appurtenances on single
family properties.
2. Preventing overcrowding of land
The proposed work complies with the required zoning setbacks and is a ground level
pool. The pool is in the backyard and enclosed with a new fence placed in the same
location as existing fencing.
3. Conserving the value of land and buildings
The proposed project should enhance the value of the property and provide additional
recreational value for the residents.
4. Lessening congestion of traffic
The proposed project will not increase the average daily traffic from the lot and the
existing driveway is sufficient to accommodate friends or relatives as may visit the site
occasionally to enjoy the pool with family or friends.
5. Preventing undue concentration of population
The proposed pool is an enhancement to a developed lot with an existing single family
home which will not typically concentrate population. Occasional visits from family or
friends are generally not considered an undue concentration of people.
b. Providing adequate light and air
The completed pool project will not adversely impact the light or air quality of the
surrounding areas.
7. Reducing the hazards from fire and other danger
The proposed project will not pose any hazards from fire or other danger.
8. Assisting in the economical provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools,
parks, and other public facilities
The addition of a pool to the lot will not negatively impact the public facilities or utilities
noted above.
9. Controlling the use of bodies of water, including watercourses
The proposed pool project is on a lot that does not directly abut Lake Cochichewick and
will not have any impacts on present use of the Lake or its tributaries.
10. Reducing the probability of losses resulting from floods
The property is not within a floodplain reducing the probability of the work causing
damage and loss.
11. Reserving and increasing the amenities of the Town
The proposed project will result in an improvement to the property and increased
property tax which will help to increase funds available to the Town for public amenities.

Proof of no reasonable alternative Location
The proposed work is proposed in an optimal location for the use as the lot is encumbered
entirely by the 325 foot non-discharge buffer and a significant, wooded portion by the 100
foot non-disturb buffer. Additionally, the parcel is encumbered by the wetland to the
northwest, easements along the north and east sides of the lot, and steep slopes east and
especially south minimizing the potential for alternative locations to place the pool on the
lot.
Evidence of approval from MassDFP
No approval from MassDEP is required for any industrial wastewater treatment or
disposal system or any wastewater treatment for a system of fifteen thousand gallons per
day capacity as none are proposed.
Evidence on site operations will not create concentrations of
nitrogen in _groundwater greater than the Federal limits down
gradient of the property
The construction of the proposed pool will employ all the best management practices
suitable for a pool concerning erosion and stormwater control. Sediments will be managed
by installing an erosion control barrier to keep sediments from entering the downhill
wetland, The pool is not s source of nitrogen and phosphorus so there will be no increases
in nitrogen concentrations downgradient of it.
Pro'ections of down gradient concentrations of nitro en
phosphorus, and other relevant chemicals at property
boundaries.
The proposed pool will not create concentrations of nitrogen or phosphorus, or other
relevant chemicals, at the property boundaries.
