Upon a motion made by Mr . Roberts and seconded by Mr . Nitzsche ,
the Board voted to deny the petition and plan entitled "Sub-
surface Disposal System Design for Lot 20A Bridle Path , North
Andover , Mass . by Frank C . Gelinas and Associates , Engineers
and Architects , dated October 4 , 1981 and revised October 19 ,
1982 for the following reasons :
1 . The topography as depicted on the plan is inaccurate as to
the location of the wetland , the contours and septic system
test pits .
a ) Water surface of the abutting wetland is at an elevation
of 155 , the corner of the proposed dwelling.
b ) If properly located toward the front of the lot , the
test pits would indicate ground elevations two (2) to
four (4) feet higher than the plan specifies , which
places the bottom of the deep pit at an elevation of
155 . 0 . The septic system would , therefore , be raised
and this requires fill on Lot 20B .
c ) No easement or written agreement allowing work on Lot
20B has been forwarded to the Planning Board .
2 . Location of the water surface in proximity to the leaching
facility indicates such water to be closer, than 100 feet ,
thus requiring a variance from the Board of Health .
3. As evidenced in the field in February , which is not spring
high water elevation , the Planning Board is of the following
opinion :
a ) The proposed dwelling and related improvements will not
afford the headwaters of Lake Cochichewick , North Andover ' s
water supply, the proper safeguards from pollution of
surface and ground water supply intended by the Wetland
Zoning By Law :
b ) The proposed driveway and garage is in such close proximity
( zero feet) to surface water that it subjects the water-
shed to oil spill contamination and petroleum pollution .
4. Said plans of the dwelling indicate basement slab elevation
of 155 . 5 , which is only 0 . 5 feet above existing water surface
in the wetland . Drainage and flood calculations have not been
submitted and the Board is of the consensus that the dwelling
does not provide proper protection from a one hundred year
storm or any major storm .

a ) The specific site , Lot 20A Bridle Path , is not an appropriate
location for such a use .
b) The use as developed will have an adverse affect on the
neighborhood .
c) The use is not in harmony with the general purpose and intent
of the Town ' s Zoning By Law .
