Subject: RE: Variance request, February BOH Meeting
Susan,
Thank you for allowing me to present to the BOH on Thursday. I am disappointed that I did not do a better
job explaining why I was asking for a variance. I really appreciate the boards' attention and comments.
That being said I will no longer be seeking a variance and will undertake collecting all the documentation
requirements for my shooters. It will be a lot of additional work in preparation for the summer but in the
end will allow us to be in 100% compliance with state camp regulations which will be a great way to start
our first summer in North Andover. Thanks again and I look forward to working with you and Debra
Rillahan.

C. 1503 Osgood Street / Orchard Hill Drive- to discuss BOH consideration of voiding the subsurface
disposal plan approval.
Dr. Trowbridge noted the violation letter of the ongoing construction project by Hera Development
Company at this site.
Mr. Gary Hendren, — Project Architect of Hendren Associates presented — he states he has a written
response from Ben Osgood, Engineer, tonight. The project began in October of 2010, with the ultimate
goal of building a strip of buildings. The contractors had to add in 12 feet of fill, which was indicated on
site plans shown to the Board of Health members. The platform was extended to put a building on this site.
The fill was brought in December of 2010. There were then a series of storms, and up to the present, there
has been no activity on the site, other than snow removal after the first two storms.
Mr. Hendren then stated that the construction will be a pre -fabricated metal building. There was a
postponed delivery of steel for 3-4 weeks, and the factory could not hold the steel any longer. As a result,
the company had to accept delivery, and the steel was delivered, and is presently sitting on top of pallets at
the site. There were approximately six tractor trailer deliveries to the site. There is a steep slope on one
side, and a path was cleared to where the items were delivered. They did have to run equipment across the
site to push things off to the side.
The contractor was asked by Ms. Sawyer to stake off the area, and put tape up. He stated that eventually
they would have to run over that area to construct the buildings. Ultimately, there will be a parking lot over
the septic system.
Mr. Osgood stated in his correspondence that this is an H2O system. This type of system is specifically
designed to have trucks and equipment able to drive on top of it. With the snow and storage issues, Mr.
Hendren stated that they could not avoid going over that area.
Mr. Hendron issued a copy of an e-mail sent by Mr. Osgood today re: 1503 Osgood Street. Mr. Osgood
will be the fourth inspector of this site. Hera Development did not extend Mr. Osgood's contract fi-om
October until now, and the contract with him was just signed today to have him inspect the system. This
