A road extension easement was left there for that purpose. Road C and B should be connected and Road C should run through to Salem St. The drainage associated with this subdivision will be a problem, as proposed. There is not enough wet lands to absorb the drainage from the discharge point on Road B. Drainage on Roads C and D is not adequate and again cannot be dumped as shown on plan. Drainage from Station 6+50 to the existing culdesac at Woodbury Lane, should run continuous. An additional set of catch basins would be required at approx. Station 17+00. Drainage from the discharge point 6+50 should be piped 150 ft. into lot #36 to the headwall. All culverts and drainage courses that cross Abbott St. and are in the drainage pattern, of this development, will have to be upgraded. We are already subjected to flooding in these areas. This subdivision, in my opinion, is designed strictly for maximum density of lots and for the convenience of the purchasers of then Blots, to live on a dead end street. When are we going to require that the future developments of our Town be done for the best interest of the Town and the departments that have to protect and service them? Meadow View Crossing P.2 Every plan is coming through with a mishmash of dead ended streets and cookie sheet type lot layout. No emphasis is being placed on either open space or recreational areas. I would recommend that this proposal be denied for the reasons mentioned, and a resubmittal be required. ",, ,Very truly yours, as William A.

DOL.AIN Tel. 1 686-3812 Chief of Department 6� Date : January 29, 1985 JPN 2 9 To: North Andover Planning Board From: Fire Chief Dolan I have the following comments regarding NN"ING subdivision: 1 . The nam Meadowv�e i w Crossin should not be used since the town alr ew Condominiums, Meadowview Road and Meadow Lane all in different areas of the town. 2 . Under the Subdivision and Control Regulations- Preliminary Plan section III 2 (7) Street names for pro- posed streets should be submitted with the preliminary plan. Although this may seem minor to the developer, the occurrence of each subdivision being constructed using roads "A" "B" ""C" can cause confusion in an emergency and once occupancy of a residence is taken, it becomes partic- ularly important. 3 . Hydrants are not presently located at a suitable location for fire protection as required in Section VF Water Facilities . I recommend that the developer meet with Mr . Borgesi and myself to adjust the location. 4 . The water main on Abbot Street must be connected and fire hydrants added on Abbot Street prior to this development proceeding. 5 . Lot numbers shall be posted during construction. 6 . House numbers shall be posted prior to occupancy.

Commission explain its positiol.-I relative to the above referenced project directly to the Planning Board. As we understand it from Mr . Neve, the relevant issue is the possibility of connecting two cul- de-sans by filling some wetland areas . We feel we cannot approve such a plan because it does not meet the performance standards set up wader the new D.E.Q.E. regulations for administration of the 9etlands Protection Act. Specifically these new regulations pro- hibit alterations of more than 5000 square feet of border- ing vegetated wetlands , and require replacement of any alteration between 500 and 5000 square feet. The only possible exception t.ca this requirement is when "crossing'' of a wetland is re ,uired to reach "dry land" on the other side and there are no other reasonable alternative means of access to the) dry land. ce gesteof he cul-de-sac in this projet does not fit this exception and therefore cannot be approved by us . Although we alt tem:pt to be reasonable and flexible in reviewing proposed projects and alternativesp it is only through strict adherence to the performance standards in the regulations that we have any hope of avoiding further drainage and water quality problems in our Town. It is for this reason that we did not approve the Ingalls Crossing III and Cobble Lane projects , or some of the common drive- ways in the Equestrian Estates project. March 26, 1985 Page Two We hope this letter clarifies our position on this issue and invite you to any of our meetings to discuss Ois or any other common problems .
