RE: Stormwater Review
Great Pond Rd, Map 35, Lot 4 (Dehullu)
Dear Ms. Tymon and Board Members:
In follow up to my July 22, 2013 comments on the above-referenced project I have
received and reviewed the August 29, 2013 response letter, revised plan, and additional
documentation provided by William G. Holt. The revised submittal satisfactorily
addresses most of my previous comments. I will reiterate, however, that the proposed
landscape area within the watershed district should be minimized, and that in order to
minimize the need for watering and chemical application, all plantings should be species
native to Essex County. I’m not sure that the plantings called for on the landscape plan
(e.g. forsythia) meet this criterion. The soil should also be well aerated and a minimum of
6-inches of topsoil should be provided. I also recommend that the O&M requirements
shown on the detail plan be included in some form in the documentation passed to future
homeowners, as the design plans typically are not.
Once again, I appreciate the opportunity to assist the North Andover Planning Board,
Conservation Commission, and Zoning Board of Appeals with the review of this project
and hope that this information is suitable for your needs. Please feel free to contact me if
you or the applicants have any questions regarding the issues addressed herein.
Sincerely,
EGGLESTON ENVIRONMENTAL
