CT' Very truly yours, NORTH ANDOVER PLANNIM BOARD By -' L/ ' G ��4 Date: e Salem Forest IV Preliminary Plan Denial The Planning Board herein denies the six(6) lot Preliminary Plan located off of Raleigh Tavern Lane. The application was submitted George Farr, Farr Better Homes, Inc., 216 Raleigh Tavern Lane, North Andover, MA 01845. The area affected contains approximately forty(40) acres in the R-2 Zoning District. Findings of Fact 1. The Conventional Subdivision (Proof Plan) does not include all of the information required by Section 3 of the Subdivision Rules and Regulations as noted below: a) The Zoning District in which the proposed subdivision is located, including the flood hazard areas as determined by the Federal Emergency Management Administration. b) Existing easements and proposed for utility lines, walks, and other rights- of-way. c) Proposed drainage lines for both storm water and surface water. Proposed locations for detention/retention ponds. d) Key Map 2. The Conventional Subdivision (Proof Plan) does not adhere to all of the design standards indicated in Section 7 of the Subdivision Rules and Regulations. 3. The Conventional Subdivision (Proof Plan) does not conform to the current Zoning Bylaw: a) Lots 5 and 6 lack 50' of frontage. The Bylaw requires 150', while these lots contain only 100'. 4. Insufficient septic testing has been completed on this site: a) Lots 3 and 4 have appropriate deep holes, but the percolation test elevations are too high to reflect the permeability rate of the parent material. Therefore percolation tests need to be performed on these lots. b) Lots 5 and 6 have only one deep hole per lot and no percolation tests. Additional information is required on these lots. 5. The applicant must file with the Conservation Commission to determine the limit of the wetland resource area. 6. The following plans are included as part of this decision: Plan titled: Conventional Subdivision (Proof Plan) of Salem Forest IV in North Andover, MA Owner& Applicant: Farr Better Homes, Inc., George Farr, President 216 Raleigh Tavern Lane, North Andover, MA Scale: 1" = 40' Date: March 4, 1996 Prepared by: Hancock Survey Associates, Inc. 235 Newbury Street, Danvers, MA 01923 Sheets: 1 & 2 Plan titled: Preliminary Subdivision of Salem Forest IV in North Andover, Massachusetts Owner& Applicant: Farr Better Homes, Inc., George Farr, President 216 Raleigh Tavern Lane, North Andover, MA Scale: 1" = 40' Date: March 4, 1996 Prepared by: Hancock Survey Associates, Inc. 235 Newbury Street, Danvers, MA 01923 Sheets: 1 & 2 Decision Given the above Findings of Fact, the Planning Board herein denies this Preliminary Subdivision plan. �. v fh, LIST OF PARTIES OF INTEREST #4980 SUBJECT PROPERTY: MAP: 106 C Lot 22, 33, 36-38, 103 NAME: GEORGE H.

Lots 3 and 4 have appropriate deep holes, but the percolation test elevations are too high to reflect the permeability rate of the parent material . I would recommend that percolation tests be again performed on these latter two lots . Lots 5 and 6 have only one deep hole per lot and no percolation tests . As I understand, these two lots are not being looked at as actual building sites, but as components which help to determine the number of lots in the PRD. Because of this, I recommend that the additional deep holes be dispensed with and only percolation tests, if needed, be done . I believe that percolation tests might have been done on these lots, but cannot make any final determination because only these two deep holes are shown on the preliminary plan. If it can be shown that perc tests have been done, as I believe, then I can say that these two lots can also be said to be buildable .

The Commission issued an Order of Conditions denying the project based on the following reasons: 1. The applicant proposed two wetland crossings, one totalling 3970 square feet of Bordering Vegetated Wetland filling and the second totalling 900 square feet of wetland filling. The NACC determined that the second crossing (900SF) does not meet the provisions of a limited project. 2 . The applicant did not submit any drainage calculations to quantify the potential impacts on the flood control or pollution attenuation interests of the Act or Bylaw. 3 . The applicant failed to quantify the amount of impacts to Land Under Water and failed to mitigate those impacts. 4 . No proof of mailing to abutters were submitted as required by the Act and Bylaw. For these above reasons the NACC denied the Notice of Intent. No determination has been made to the buildability of any portion of the property. An Order of Conditions was issued to Farr Better Homes, Inc. on March 6, 1996 for the crossing of a Bordering Vegetated Wetland with a backhoe, or similar type of machinery, in order to conduct official soil testing required by the North Andover Board of Health. The Order of Conditions ONLY pertains to the crossing required for soil testings. The NACC neither agreed nor disagreed with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource area. Subsequent filings for work on this property will warrant approval of the applicant's proposed delineation at that time. ROARD OF APPEALS 688-9541 BIALDING 688-9545 CONSERVATION 68 -9530 REA1,711 688-9540 PLANNING 688-9535 �/I/F Under Chapter 131, Section 40, 310 CMR, 10.55 4 (b) , the issuing authority (NACC) may issue an Order of Conditions permitting work which results in the loss of up to 5000 square feet of Bordering Vegetated Wetland when said area is replaced in accordance with the conditions as outlined in the performance standards listed in 310 CMR, 10.55 4 (b) . Salem Forest IV as currently presented to the Planning Board, proposes 4870 square feet of wetland filling which falls within the 5, 000 square foot alteration threshold as allowed under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act. If available, alternative access that offers the least impact to the wetland resource area will be required by the Commission. In this particular filing, the Conservation Commission could require the applicant to propose access to lots 5 & 6 from Granville Lane if square footage of wetland impacts is less than that of the present proposal. cc: Michael Howard, Natural Resource Planner . t d �, � FORM J LOT RELEASE The undersigned, being a majority of the Planning Board of the Town of North Andover, Massachusetts, hereby certify that: a.
