C~P`.~ N The Country Lane Estates building and paving project has been completed. The Owner, Preservation of Affordable Housing, has asked the Berkshire Design Group to inspect the project for compliance with the Notice of Intent for the purpose of requesting a Certificate of Compliance from the Northampton Conservation Commission. We have visited the site on numerous occasions during construction. We have also met on site with Bruce Young and Doug MacDonald to discuss measures for soil stabilization and prevention of erosion prior to winter 2005. Attached is a site as-built survey prepared by Huntley Associates which shows areas of new site improvements in relation to wetland resource areas and buffer zones. We certify that the site work has been completed in substantial compliance with the plans and Order of Conditions issued by the Commission. The Landscape Architecture mailbox kiosk and walks were relocated due to the presence of underground Civil Engineering gas lines in the original location. This area of work is still outside of wetland . buffer zones. Planning Sincerely, Land Surveying The Berkshire Design Group, Inc. Mi ael Y.
