NEGATIVE DETERMINATION OF APPLICABILITY
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
22 Autran Avenue, North Andover
At the July 25,2012 public hearing, the North Andover Conservation Commission (NACC) voted to issue
a Negative Determination of Applicability for the removal of existing driveway pavement and relocation of
an existing fence within the buffer zone to Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW) associated with an
intermittent stream. The pavement is located with the 25'No-disturbance Zone at its closest point. The
project will result in a benefit to the resource area by decreasing impervious area and increasing infiltration
on site. Upon completion the pavement removal area will be loamed and seeded.
