Written Documentation
To: North Andover Planning Board
From: Jack Sullivan, P.E. PI 364001
Date: March 16, 2007
Subject: 870 Great Pond Road,North Andover—Written support for Project
Planning Board members:
The following written summary is prepared on behalf of the owner/applicant,Ronald&Karen McCluskey, in
support of two small additions to an existing single family dwelling,an extension of an existing biuestone
patio,drainage infrastructure,and associated minimal site grading in the Watershed Protection District. The
following items as outlined in the Watershed Special Permit requirements are listed below(responses to
required items are in italic);
1. Encouraging the most appropriate use of land
This site is zoned residential and the proposed site development items listed above are appropriate for
this parcel. The proposed site work was designed to provide minimum disturbance to the existing site.
2. Preventing overcrowding of land
The proposed additions and extension of the patio are small in nature and will overcrowd the land.
3. Conserving the value of land and buildings.
The proposed site development will enhance surrounding building and land values, while being
aesthetically pleasing. The building additions will be mutually beneficial to the applicant as well
as the abutters.
4. Lessening congestion of traffic
This project will not increase traffic congestion, since there will be no increase in the number of
vehicles or vehicle trips.
5. Preventing undue concentration of population
There will be no population change as the result of this project. It will remain a single family
residence and there will be no addition to the current number of residents in the premises.
6. Providing adequate light and air
There will be no adverse impact to current background air and light levels.
7. Reducing the hazards from fire and other danger.
There will be no increase in hazard levels from fire or other dangers. The proposed additions will be
accessible to fire fighting equipment and the additions will meet Building Code requirements in
providing smoke detectors.

8. Assisting in the economical provision of transportation,water,sewerage,schools,parks,and other public
facilities.
This project will not impact the above noted public facilities and/or utilities. There will be not be a
negative impact to the economics of any public utility.
9. Controlling the use of bodies of water,including watercourses;
This project will not have a negative impact on present uses of the Lake or tributaries thereto.
10. Reducing the probability of losses resulting from floods;
The applicant is proposing to install drainage infrastructure, including piping and a 500 Gallon
Drywell, to collect all runoff associated with the roof areas of the proposed additions. The drainage
infrastructure is designed to handle the 100 year storm event and will serve to mitigate any potential
stormwater runoff problems from the proposed addition. The proposed extension of the bluestone
patio will not alter present site grading.
11. Reserving and increasing the amenities of the Town
This project will increase the amenities of the Town through an improvement to the property and
additional tax revenue due to new construction assessment.
The Planning Board,in reviewing this application,will note that all the threshold requirements for granting the
Special Permit are met and/or exceeded.
Further written documentation is provided below(responses to required items are in italics)
1. Written certification by a Registered Professional Engineer,or other scientist educated in and possessing
extensive experience in the science of hydrology and hydrogeology,stating that there will not be any
significant degradation of the quality or quantity or water in or entering Lake Cochichewick.
The proposed site work described in this letter will not have a negative impact to the surrounding
watershed. There will not be any significant degradation of the quality or quantity of water in or
entering Lake Cochichewick The proposed drywell will serve to collect stormwater runoff and
provide a means of recharging the groundwater table. The drywell, in addition to the minimal site
grading changes, will serve to promote mitigation measures to protect runofffrom entering
surrounding wetland areas which ultimately discharge to the Lake.
2. Proof that there is no reasonable alternative location outside the Non-Disturbance and/or Non-Discharge
Buffer Zones,whichever is applicable,for any discharge,structure,or activity,associated with the proposed
use to occur.
Based on the site topography, restrictive wetland buffer zones, existing building layout, and zoning
setback requirements there is no alternative location that would work for this property.
3. Evidence of approval by the Mass.DEP of any industrial waster water treatment or disposal system or any
waste water treatment of system 15,000 GPD capacity.
This item does not apply to this site.
4. Evidence that all on-site operations including,but not limited to,construction,waste water disposal,
fertilizer applications,and septic systems will not create concentrations of Nitrogen in groundwater,greater
than the Federal limit at the downgradient property boundary.
This site is connected to the Town of North Andover municipal sewerage system. Construction activity
will not increase background Nitrogen levels in the groundwater.
5. Projections of downgradient concentrations of nitrogen,phosphorus and other relevant chemicals at
property boundaries and other locations deemed pertinent by the SPGA.
There will be no downgradient concentration of the above referenced chemicals due to the proposed
site development conditions as defined.
