RE: Hydro-geological Study North Street Condominiums
Map 25C, Parcels 12 & 17
Dear Members of the Conservation Commission,
We understand that you are in the process of selecting a hydro-geologist to study the hydrology of
our Northern Avenue site with respect to the proposed condominium development and its potential
impact on the hydrology of the wetlands. Given that a thorough review will be done, we would like
the hydro-geologist to consider the following two possible modifications to our plans:
a change from the proposed frost walls with slabs on grade to full basements
a change from the previously submitted 23 unit plan to the attached 20 unit plan
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you should have any questions, please feel free to call me at the above phone number.
Sincerely,
Douglas A. Kohl, President Tofino Associates, Inc. Northern Avenue Homes, Inc.
