I have chocked the Subdivision :flan Salem Forest III and whould like
to recomend that a Stop Sign be placed at the Intersection of Patton
Lane and Granville Lome. This is not part of the Subdivision but I feel
that the area would be rauch safer if -a Stop ssign could be put up.
There should be street signs and numbers on all hones before the subdivi-

RE: Hawkins Way- Definitive Plan
Date: 8 January 1987 ! NNI mu BOARD
I have visited the site of the proposed development,
and reviewed the plans dated 26 November 1986.
In accordance with the 1981 Rules Governing the Subdivision
of Land I have the following comments and requirements re-
garding fire protection:
1) An additional fire hydrant is needed at the cul-de-sac
where the eight inch cap and gate valve is shown.
2) The bridge crossing the brook should be constructed
to support the weight of the fire departments vehicles .
3) Street signs, both on the corner of Patton Lane and
Granville Lane as well as Patton and Hawkins , should
should be installed as approved by the Director
of Public Works .
4) At this time it would be of assistance to know if
common drives are to be proposed for this development.
5) I would recommend strongly that the developer consider
the installation of residential sprinkler systems in
accordance with N.F.P.A. 13 D and North Andover Fire
Department requirements for such systems.
6) Lot numbers shall be posted during construction.
7) No open burning is allowed except as permitted by
the North Andovr Fire Department.
8) All builders must comply with the fire departments
underground fuel storage regulations.
9) Permanent house numbers shall be posted on the dwellings
prior to occupancy
10) Prior to taking occupancy, the subdivisions streets shall
provide and adequate access to each of the residences

RE: Salem Forest III
Dear Tom,
This will address some of the hydrological concerns raised by the North
Andover Planning Board in their draft decision dated March 6, 1987. Please
refer to our Hydrology and Drainage Report (November 2, 1986) and previous
letter (March 2, 1986) to yourself which provided additional analyses of the
proposed and an optional Boston Brook crossing culvert.
The lowering (0.4 foot) of the 100-year flood stage by the proposed culvert
would not result in a loss of available flood storage, rather it would result
in still available storage not being utilized. In the existing condition, the
utilization of this additional storage would not be effective in reducing flow
because the storm flow would overtop the existing road which would act as a
very broad weir providing very little flow attenuation after the overtopping
began. This effect is shown by the upward deflection of the hydraulic rating
curve beginning at elevation 105.2 (page 9, Report). For this reason, I would..
not recommend a culvert design that would mimic existing conditions in all
storms.
My previous letter to you discussed our recent analyses of an optional culvert
crossing and of normal and low-flow conditions. The results showed that
simply not rounding (bevelling) the entrance to the proposed culvert would
increase the 100-year stage from 0.4 foot below existing (106.2) to 0.4 foot
above existing, although neither stage would overtop the proposed access road.
It follows that the existing 100-year stage could be equaled by partially
rounding the proposed culvert entrance.
The hydrologic balance of wetlands is determined by normal and low flow
conditions, not by infrequent event storms. The analysis of "annual average"
flow in Boston Brook shows that the proposed culvert would lower the normal
stage of the Brook by 0.2 foot in comparison to existing. Garry Hollands, our
resident wetlands expert, has told me that he could not foresee any
perceptible alteration of the hydrologic balance of this wetland as the result
of this slight lowering of the water level. Given the slope of the normal
water surface of the Brook, the lowering would be evident only from the
culvert to a distance of about 100 feet upstream.

Mr. Thomas Neve -2- March 27, 1987
Therefore, I continue to recommend the originally proposed culvert as the
optimal solution to all flow conditions. If necessary, we could raise the
invert by 0.2 foot to exactly duplicate the normal water level and still keep
the 100-year flow stage below existing.
Item 15 of the draft decision would require the construction of a detention
pond. Our Report has shown that Boston Brook peak dischar a bo -
100-year) rould only increase b _0.2 c.fsas a resu t o site development. I
don, t believe that t s negligible se would justify t e construction of
a pond.

TO: PLANNING BOARD
FROM: SCOTT A. STOCKING, PLANNER
RE: SALEM FOREST III MODIFICATION
DATE : OCTOBER 1, 1987
After my discussion with Tom Neve regarding the above cited
subdivision, the action requested of the Planning Board is
to vote on a new decision which includes the following
changes:
1) Delete the following conditions issued on May 6 , 1987
condition number 1, 5 , 10 ,and 12.
2) Change the wording in condition 8 to read that the
applicant shall provide an easement to the town in
order to provide public access to the State Forest.
Reason: I don' t believe the town wants a 20 ' wide
strip of land, due to maintance and liability issues.
3) Condition 11, require that parcel A, be deadicated to
the town as part of the right-of-way for Patton Lane
and Hawkins Lane.
4) All other conditions stated in the original decision
will remain the same.
Please note that the plan has changed due to Conservation
Commission action which required the cul-de-sac moved 20' .
Planning Board to vote on these proposed changes in
approving the modification as submitted.

RE: Salem Forest III
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your Planning Board meeting of Monday, March
2 , 1987 , please accept this letter as a response to the
following two issues :
1 . As per the North Andover Rules and Regulations , a dead-
end street shall not be longer than five hundred feet ( 5001 )
unless in the opinion of the Board, a greater length is
necessitated by topography or other local conditions . Because
of the location of this subdivision, as well as the topography,
the five hundred foot requirement would be a hindrance to the
construction of Hawkins Lane as an access to all five lots .
Two factors influenced the decision to locate the cul-de-sac
at the location as shown on the plans .
1 . On the southern side of Hawkins Lane, there exists
a huge ledge outcropping which would make roadway and
sideslope construction impractical.
2 . On the northern side there exists significant wetlands .
The optimum location for the construction of the cul-de-sac
was selected which creates the minimum impact to the topography
and the wetlands .
2 . According to your regulations a 2 : 1 sideslope is required
where Hawkins Lane crosses Boston Brook. Also, two 12 foot
wide shoulders would have to be constructed from the edge of
the new pavement. This would cause significant filling of
the wetlands without a real benefit to the Town.
Please consider granting a waiver to your regulations and allow

(

the applicant to provide the following:
1 . Reduce the twelve foot wide shoulder on both sides of the
road down to six feet.
2 . Provide sideslopes of one foot horizontal to one foot
vertical within the wetland crossing. As a safety precaution,
guard rails would be installed on both sides of the roadway
where a 1 : 1 slope is provided.
Included with this letter, please find attached a topo map
of the southern side of the site as per Mr. John Simon' s
request.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact

Re: DEQE File #242-388/ Hawkins Lane
Dear Commissioners,
Pursuant to your directive outlined in your enforcement order dated July 21, 1988,
we have reviewed the BSC letter to the North Andover Conservation Commission of
June 16, 1988 wherein several issues were raised relative to the adequacy of the
newly installed Hawkins Lane box culvert and to the supportive design calculations
submitted with the Notice of Intent application. Our specific responses to same of
fhe items of concern outlined on page 2 of BSC's letter are as follows:
1. With respect to the methodology used for peak flow determination, we concur
that results obtained in the manner utilized are only arguably correct. However,
once recognition is made that accurate streamflow and precipitation data is un—
available for the study, there are only empirical relationships remaining to
Model streamflow. We concur that TR-55 methodology is inherently conservative,
and for this reason would suggest it be used strictly as a check n otherwise
predictable performance, especially in light of the potential implications to
upstream wetlands and flood storage should the box culvert be enlarged to handle
significantly higher predicted flows.
The ratio of exponential areas methodology outlined in NEH-4 at very least allows
a correlation of anticipated flows from actual measurable areas and actual,
measured, and documented flows. This exact methodology has been the primary input
to several Probable Maximum Flood and Standard Project Flood Dam Safety Inspection
Analyses performed for the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission for basins significantly larger than the Ipswich
River throughout New England. With so much left to chance and interpretation
with the empirical relationships, it is always desirable to invoke any and all
actual data available, notwithstanding the fact that areal ratios may be required.
We would welcome and be open to any and all alternative methodology suggestions
that the commission or their consultants may suggest either as a check on the data
used or in lieu of same should this be warranted and reasonable.
2. With respect to item number 2 of BSC's letter, we agree that the potential for
several feet of hydraulic gradeline reduction across the culvert area would exist
if both all of the Boston Brook flow could be handled by the culvert and if
tailwater influences downstream were minimal enough to negligibly impact culvert
performance, thus maintaining inlet control. However, with the access way known
as "Woods Road" being overtopped under a 100 year storm scenario, and with the
backwater effect produced by the culvert under the presently proposed Boston
I
I
Page Two
North Andover Conservation Commission
Re: DEQE File #242-388/ Hawkins Lane
Brook Estates, the gradeline across the existing Hawkins Lane crossing can be
expected to remain fairly uniform. We further agree with BSC's comment that
the slope of the gradeline along Boston Brook is in fact negligible.
3. BSC's third comment involves the apparent lack of an assessment of the
tailwater effect on the discharge capacity of the proposed culvert under various
storm scenarios. Although we concur with the theory and its resultant impact
on the culvert's headwater/discharge relationship, we would suggest that the only
true evaluation of streamflow and control structure performance lies in generating
expected flow profiles from a critical or supercritical baseline downstream and by
calculating expected step profiles proceeding in an upstream direction through
the structure at Hawkins Lane. We suggest a computer modeling of the affected
reach of the brook using a HEC-2 type of program developed by the Corps of
Engineers' Hydrologic Engineering Center. In light of the .current design un-
certainty associated with the downstream culvert under the proposed Boston Brook
Estates, an assessment of tailwater conditions at Hawkins Lane seems premature
at this point. We suggest deferring review of Hawkins Lane Tailwater conditions
until proposed modifications to the downstream portion of Boston Brook are
finalized. Morever, we do not see the assumption of free discharge as unreasonable
at this time, as establishment of critical flow at the culvert discharge with ,a
subsequent hydraulic jump to restricted tailwater levels in channel reaches
characterized by relatively high "n" values is a distinct possibility.
We have reviewed the Commission and Planning Board files for Boston Brook Estates
hydrologic information and have found nothing to either support or dispute our
claims or those of either BSC or of the original Hawkins Lane submittal. The
one-page calculation in the file utilizes what we believe to be inappropriate
Rational Methodology to support the Boston Brook Estates crossing design and is
further characterized by unsupported assumptions and factual inaccuracies. We
suggest that a much more extensive effort be required for hydrologic modeling
prior to final acceptance, after which an assessment of its impact on our project
can be fully and appropriately effected.
At this point in time the new culvert has been installed in Hawkins Lane, as
designed, as approved by both the commission and the Planning Board, and in
compliance with the Order of Conditions as it relates to culvert size, line, and
grade. As you must be fully aware, the culvert design was the subject of much
controversy during project development, and much engineering consultant time and
effort was expended in satisfying Commission and Planning Board concerns relative
to its adequacy and suitability for its intended function. To imply through
enforcement order issuance at the peak of the construction season that the
currently installed and approved culvert is inappropriate, without concrete
engineering data supportive of the concern is highly inappropriate.
We fully intend to work with the Commission and with the developers of Boston
Brook Estates, at the appropriate time to finalize a workable solution satisfactory
to all concerned, notwithstanding the fact that our hydrologic design was approved
after several rounds of engineering analysis and re-analysis.
Page Three
North Andover Conservation Commission
Re: DEQE File #242-388/ Hawkins Lane
The Commission Enforcement Order issued on July 21, 1988 indicates a violation of
the approved construction sequence. ' We are perplexed however, at the Commission's
Order, normally intended to correct the violation, since it requires further
culvert design analysis with an accompanying response to BSC's letter, both of
which are completely unrelated to the "approved construction sequence." We
yield to Commission concerns relative to the construction sequence, and fully
expect to explain the need to alter the sequence in light of encountered field
conditions. We do not feel however, that a blanket order prohibiting all
construction in all areas of the project is warranted. We respectfully request
a rescission of the order, or at least a modification, to permit certain work
pursuant to our approvals pending final development of downstream modifications.
At the appropriate time, workable culvert modifications can be implemented, if
deemed necessary, with Commission and Planning Board consent to preclude wasted
effort, unnecessary cost, and the loss of further prime construction season.
Our immediate request is to be allowed to continue with the installation of the
water line and appurtenances upstation of approximately station 3+50 and upstation
of the culvert crossing. We also would like to finish with our roadway cuts
and fills to achieve subgrade in the same area, inclusive of presently incomplete
ledge removal.
We trust that this discussion adequately addresses or at least alleviates your
concerns, look forward to meeting with you to discuss it further, and hope that
compromises to your current position can be immediately authorized to allow
continued construction in line with the Order of Conditions currently in effect.
