Laudani } k RE: Forest View Estates - Off-Site Sewer � "` Design and Approval Chronology CC: M. Gross/R. Lavoie/R. Pelletier/A. Mesiti/K. Colwell/W. Scott R. Levy/W. Hmerciak/R. Norton The Forest View Estates Development Public Hearing Continuation is scheduled for Tuesday, December 16, 1997. In addition, we have requested to be heard relative to the establishment of a mutually agreeable extension of the latest date by which the Public Hearing on our Application for Definitive Subdivision Plan approval is to conclude. Basically, given the size and scope of the over-sizing of the Off-Site Sewer (as requested by the Town of North Andover), it is fairly evident that the appropriate level of sewer design, review and analysis by the Town and the Town's consultants, as well as mutually satisfactory resolution of final design details, will entail a reasonable arnount of additional time to conduct the Public Hearings oil our Application. For the benefit of the Board, we outline below a design and approval chronology to illustrate where we are in the process. Additionally, Mr. Hmerciak of the DPW has prepared a letter detailing tine status of the design/approval of the Off-Site Sewer with the Town's engineering consultants (Guertin & Associates). DATE EVENT 4/7/97 MHF Design, Inc., Salem, NH - Project Engineers entered into a contract with Eastern Topographies to provide Aerial Photography of Rt. 114 Off-Site Sewer. 4/11/97 Eastern Topographies flew the 114 Corridor Topography. 4/23/97 Aerial Photos received by MHF Design for field survey work to be completed. Real Estate Consultants - Land Planning and Development e Commercial Development 733 Turnpike Street - Suite 158, North Andover, MA 01845 e 508-686-7704 m FAX 508-975-2063 5/15/97 Aerial Photos with Survey Control Data returned to Eastern Topographics for the Preparation of Planimetric Topography for the Rt. 114 Corridor. 6/10/97 Meeting with M. Gross/D. Pelletier/T. Laudani/W. Hmerciak - Initial meeting to discuss the Off-Site Sewer with DPW and the Towns consulting engineers, Guertin & Associates 6/11/97-7/3/97 MHF Design located all existing utilities including drainage, sewer, water, gas, overhead electric, and telephone on the Rt. 114 Corridor and forwarded them promptly to Roger Norton of CDM. 7/25/97 Meeting held with DPW - Attendees R. Pelletier/T. Laudani/W. Hmerciak/R. Norton, B. Fehen to discuss the planning reports prepared by Guertin & Associates and establish design considerations and standard for CDM to follow during the design of the 114 pump station and pipelines. 8/15/97 MHF Design sent the wetlands determination for Rt. 114 to CDM identifying 8000 Ln. Ft. of wetland flagging, with reference to existing utilities and drainage. 9/15/97 CDM provides MHF Design and DPW with a design submittal for review and comment by Guertin and Associates of the entire 114 Corridor Sewer and Pump Station Layout. 9/23/97 Meeting was held at DPW with B. Fehen, R. Norton, D. Pelletier, T. Laudani, W. Hmerciak to discuss the relocation of certain sections of the Rt. 114 sewer to the north side of Rt. 114 to avoid utility conflicts. 2 10/1/97 CDM provides revision plans to MHF and DPW based on the 9/23/97 designs change meeting. The Extension requested is based on time required by DPW and Guertin to complete a review of the Off-Site Sewer and incorporate final design changes if necessary. All other engineering revisions by MHF as requested by Coler & Colantonio in letters dated 11/7/97 and 11/13/97 (exclusive of items 6 through 11 which are Conservation Commission requirements) will have been completed and submitted by 12/15/97 in writing to Coler & Colantoni, with copies to K. Colwell & M. Howard. It should be noted that additional comments from Coler & Colantoni may be received by MHF and planning staff subsequent to these dates. Those comments, if necessary, will be addressed during the Extension period. In conclusion, it is important to remember that the Off-Site Sewer design process which the Applicant has been requested to participate in serves not only the Applicant's interests in its proposed Project, but also serves the interests of the Town of North Andover by providing that section of town with a rational and comprehensive sewering program for the general benefit of the Town, including the other occupants and property owners along Rt. 114. Obviously, conducting a comprehensive sewering program will eliminate future repetitive requests to the Planning Board by other land owners, and certainly has environmental benefits along Title V lines. The Applicant has understood from the beginning of the process that it was certainly reasonable for the Town of North Andover to suggest that the Applicant over-size the Off-Site Sewer so as to accomplish the Town's purposes mentioned above. It is also fairly evident that such a process involves a great deal more of design effort, and especially time. Consequently, it is respectfully suggested that the requested Extension of Time within which the Planning Board is to conclude the Public Hearings on the Application for Definitive Subdivision Plan approval be extended to a reasonable and mutually agreeable date. It is for the foregoing reasons that the Applicant has suggested March 28, 1998 as a reasonable extension date.
