RE : Stanley Special Permit
I would like to take this opportunity to comment on the above
special permit request as required by paragraph 7 .b. of Section
4 . 136 of the Zoning Bylaw. The North Andover Conservation
Commission has reviewed the matter and issued a decision many
months ago. Although the Conservation has great concerns
regarding continued residential development in the Watershed, we
have no intention of prohibiting development of private parcels.
The Commission's decision requires that this project meet an
additional setback of over 80 ' from wetlands. This additional
setback was required of all lots in this subdivision. Since this
project can meet -those setbacks, the Conservation Commission
approved the project.
I have also been asked to confirm the wetland line on the site in
the vicinity of the culvert. The wetland edge is located
immediately downgradient of the siltation fence. Although
bordering vegetated wetlands can indeed expand in the direction
of point discharges, this has not been the case on lot 2 . This
is likely due to the minimal flows through the culvert since very
little storm runoff actually reaches the catch basins, and
because the rip rap apron at the outlet prohibits the growth of
any vegetation.
