The special permit submission was reviewed for conformance to the appropriate sections of the 1972 Town of North Andover Zoning Bylaw as amended May 2001 and standard engineering practice. The following comments note non-conformance with specific sections and questionstcomments on the proposed design. VHB offers the following comments: Section 2,30.1 Common Driveway—Lot 3&Lot 4 The Applicant should verify that a maintenance agreement between Lot 3 and 4 for the common driveway has been submitted to Planning Broad for review.Also,will a common driveway be required for Lot 1 and 2? Sec"4.136.4 Watershed Protection District 1. (4.c.iii)This section requires that a written certification regarding the quality and quantity of water entering Lake Cochichewiek should be made by a registered Professional Engineer or a scientist educated in and possessing extensive experience in the science of hydrology and hydrogeology.It appears that a written certification in the special permit application was made by a registered Landscape Architect,not by a registered Professional Engineer.VHB recommends that a written certification be wade by a registered Professional Engineer. 2. (4.c.iv) This section requires that a reasonable alternative location outside of the Non-Disturbance or Non-Discharge zone be investigated. It appears that the Applicant could locate the proposed houses on Lot 3 and 4 in the Town of Boxford outside the Non-Discharge zone.The Applicant should justify why there is no reasonable alternative location outside the Non-Discharge zone for the proposed houses. 3. (4.c.vi)It is not clear how the Applicant proposes to limit the application of fertilizer by private homeowners through the conditions of Special Permit Approval.Will the conditions of Special Permit Approval be included in the property deed?VHB requests that additional explanation be provided. Section?Dimensional.Uguwements It appears that Lot 1 and 2 do not meet the minim=frontage dimension of 175 feet.Has a frontage exception been submitted to Planning Board for approval?For clarity,VHB recommends that the entire parcels of land be shown on the larger scale of plans. Drainase Comments It is not unclear whether test pits or percolation tests have been performed to verify existing soil infiltration rates and existing groundwater elevation.Since the majority of the driveway is in a"cut section",VHB recommends that test pits and percolation tests be performed to verify that the proposed driveway infiltration trench system will function as designed. 1 7:\067rf 55\does\cepoies\Fiawk lttdgr Y<Sp Permit lteview-0519A?.dtx . ------ VN15 No.995 P.3 It is recommended that the Applicant provide WRITTEN RESPONSES to the issues and comments contained herein.
