Bear Ms. Tymon and Board Members,
We are in receipt of a review letter from Eugene Willis, PE,North Andover Division of
Public Works, dated June 16, 2011 and VHB's comments on July 15, 2011. We offer the
following responses to those comments.
Department of Public Works Comments
1. We contacted the Town about who the inspector will be and at this point,they are
not sure who will be inspecting and filing the Form N.
2. The common driveway off of Saracusa Way is designed and permitted to be a
private way and will be maintained by a homeowner's association.
3. The plans are noted that the Homeowner's Association will maintain all
stormwater features outside of the Right of Way. See Note 10 on Sheet Al.
4. We are providing granite curbing on the main road (Saracusa Way) as that will
someday become a Town road. The common driveway will have cape cod
curbing for 280'. This design is based on minimal impact to the wetlands and the
driveway will be privately owned and maintained and will never become a
maintenance item for the Town.
5. A waiver of required pavement width has been added to the plans. The Planning
Board already granted this waiver.
6. The width of 14' was agreed upon with the Fire Department because this
driveway only services 3 homes.
7. The reason the drain manholes are located as shown is for the future sewer that
we were required to provide an easement for. If sewer is ever extended down this
roadway and into the easement we provided, then the sewer will need to be in the
center of the road in order to be 10' from the watermain.
8. Once again, if we move the drain manholes and the watermain, the future sewer
will not be able to be installed in the middle of the roadway.
9. As-built plans will be prepared for all retaining walls installed in this project. Sec
Note 3 on Sheet P 1.

1 . The minimum culvert size has been added as Note#14 on Sheet P1.
11. Our engineer has confirmed that the 12"outlet pipe is sufficient from DMH 3.
12. A detail has been added to the plans for the setting bed requirements and material
for ADS pipe.
VHB Comments
1. Map 34, Lot 4 is one of the owners of record and they are listed in the Owner's
block on the bottom right of the plan.
2. We have requested a waiver and the Planning Board has granted it for the
common driveway consisting of 3 lots only. The main roadway which is to be
public in the future has a 50' bight of Way,
3. We have modified the plans so that the areas of public and private Right of Ways
are listed separately so the roadway can someday be deeded to the Town:
4. The driveway configuration makes for a hammerhead turnaround. The Fire
Department has reviewed and approved the plans as is.
We are herewith submitting 2 full size copies and 7 half size copies of the revised plans
for your review. Thank you very much for your time. If you have any questions, or need
further assistance, please contact our office.
Very truly yours,
