RE: Town of North Andover Senior Center— 505 Sutton Street
Special Permit Applications
Dear Monica,
As requested, Tim Willett the Operations Manager and I have reviewed the proposed special
permit applications, including the supplemental information, for the proposed Town of North
Andover Senior Center project to be located at 505 Sutton Street dated May 30, 2019.
We offer the following comments on the proposed special permit applications:
1. All water piping shall be cement lined ductile iron, Class 52.
2. All hydrants shall be Clow Eddy, open left.
3. It appears that the existing sewer service connection for the residential home onto Sutton
Street is proposed to be reused for the new Senior Center building. This is not
recommended and a new 6" PVC sewer service connection installed at a minimum of a 2%
slope is recommended.
4. The existing water and sewer service connections for the residential homes onto Sutton
Street and Surrey Drive shall be terminated at the main lines in the streets.
5. The proposed drain pipe material shall be identified on Sheet C-2. In addition, there are
sections of proposed drain pipe that do not have a size or pipe material identified. All pipe
sizes and drain pipe material shall be identified on Sheet C-2.

6. Proposed DMH-1 identifies a rim elevation of 164.6' and an invert elevation of 164.8'. This
discrepancy shall be corrected.
7. The proposed.FES inverts shall be identified on Sheet C-2.
8. It appears that the access drive to the Senior Center from the shared driveway is marked
as a one way not allowing any exit from the Senior Center onto the shared driveway. This
circulation pattern is not recommended and the ability to exit the site via either the shared
driveway onto Sutton Street or Surrey Drive onto Sutton Street is recommended. In
addition, due to the curve of Sutton Street there is increased site distance when exiting the
site via the shared driveway onto Sutton Street.
9. Since there is proposed grading along the shared access driveway that extends onto the
abutting Apartment Complex project area, site grading shall be coordinated with the
Apartment Complex site construction.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely, ,
John J. Borgesi, P.E. Tim Willett
Town Engineer Operations Manager
