Mike Fabiano of High Point Engineering and Mike Hood, facilities manager at Abiomed, described a series of limited site improvements and patio/amenity spaces around the 2442 building. Fabiano said the work is primarily in previously disturbed, improved areas and that some proposed improvements convert impervious surfaces to pervious pavers while other work requires small amounts of disturbance within the 35- and 50-foot buffer zones. The project team said they would file a separate stormwater permit with the town’s engineering office as required for commercial-site work.

Commissioners and staff raised concerns about the combination of an RDA and requested waivers: a negative determination would mean less formal permitting but the commission wants clarity about remedies and enforcement if work is not completed or is done inconsistently with plans. Commissioner discussion focused on what leverage the commission retains under a negative determination versus a full Notice of Intent and whether the commission can compel remediation or issue enforcement orders if work departs from approved plans.

The applicant team agreed to the continuance. Mike Hood said a two-week continuance would not harm the schedule. The commission voted to continue the matter to the June 12 meeting and asked staff to report back on the commission’s authority and potential conditions the board could impose to ensure compliance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Conservation Commission- 5/22/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Town of Danvers Conservation Commission continued Abiomed’s request for a determination of applicability for site improvements at 24–42 Cherry Hill Drive to June 12, pending staff review of enforcement authority.","taxTitle","Town of Danvers, Essex County, Massachusetts","taxId",56467,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6534859,"Commission approves fence waiver for LeBlanc Drive pool; issues order with conditions on drainage and chlorine",416,1502000,1918000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3463208-1d4572ac52803ef6df752829c91d7a69&start=1502&end=1918","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3463208-1d4572ac52803ef6df752829c91d7a69/thumbnail_1502000.jpg","/articles/6534859/Town-of-Danvers/Essex-County/Massachusetts/Commission-approves-fence-waiver-for-LeBlanc-Drive-pool-issues-order-with-conditions-on-drainage-and-chlorine","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6534859-8fe7b14a2590fef123e608df410da9eb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771206180&Signature=DCvgo8dCg6BczgCHdm6MWZ3FIxHr1ZkE0r2EgtIiSeH7UxidFRInMOMq6S454jmoUvEf6etMoDzVZprSMypHHBUNxVzcKj4xqdoSI04oPuCYSR9Ig-bIiFM16D9hHDZjTUs~NfRfuLXtBAFjh7SD3CRVoi-3aqF2xPv6VjlznAkbdm0-HwK-POu7314yGAt5IQO-9NsMiCyUe6qT-LzY-eTEQkinB9u~y~T0bBkvDLzlJ540g8l5q1tUPLOmYmAAzxDIU0L3nGSE8BBd0FHo9xh~rRbl9JgfYohWZSKLMba~B2WGfo8-JMakjlzXjHJ5QJHm8Co5AYvMrjmPHjbQgQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Danvers Conservation Commission approved a waiver and issued an order of conditions for work related to a new pool and fence at 3 LeBlanc Drive, DEP file 14-1437.

Applicants John Michael and Amanda Pizzi appeared and described the proposal: a 16-by-32 in-ground pool with a 4-foot hardscape border, an equipment pad against the house, and a fence line located within the 50-foot buffer but outside the 35-foot no-disturb zone. The applicants said the fence would follow an existing grass line and that they will add roughly 100 square feet of pollinator plantings as a mitigation enhancement.

Commission staff confirmed the pool deck and equipment pad locations are outside the 50-foot buffer and noted the standard condition for pool drainage: allow water to sit and diminish chemical concentrations (stock condition requiring waiting period before discharge). Commissioners asked that the applicants revise the plan to move the equipment pad to the house as they discussed and to document drainage procedures. The commission included conditions addressing chlorine/drainage, plan revisions showing final equipment placement, and typical erosion-control measures.

Motions to close the public hearing, to grant the waiver for work in the 50-foot no-build zone, and to issue an order of conditions were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. The minutes show the commission will require the plan changes before work begins and that pool-drainage will follow the commission’s standard conditions.","The commission granted a waiver to allow a fence installation within the 50-foot buffer at 3 LeBlanc Drive (DEP 14-1437) related to a new pool, and issued an order of conditions that includes standard pool-drainage conditions and edits to mechanical/equipment pad placement.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6534864,"Danvers commission allows after-the-fact enclosed deck at Ipswich River Road with $1,500 bond",981,505000,1486000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3463208-1d4572ac52803ef6df752829c91d7a69&start=505&end=1486","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3463208-1d4572ac52803ef6df752829c91d7a69/thumbnail_505000.jpg","/articles/6534864/Town-of-Danvers/Essex-County/Massachusetts/Danvers-commission-allows-after-the-fact-enclosed-deck-at-Ipswich-River-Road-with-1500-bond","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6534864-69c60f931790df79ec0129c0827b0deb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771206180&Signature=m~BcNtICrXCvhiu9wfgDmbmEhEFUg~rkjEgT1HELzJlsdwtwf-eyv0Uj3aSNoy-TJHPz8k~Z5EMnjPpwCW5C2yhXda3UoMu72TyHoQogrx8GhWWXMzqPngJOpfgFmp3gBLGXlXN8hkbqgaX8ZDd4MJbSxS-IQPg9s~LIoEXE68IosAc-i36a5JKORTHuYxKxJJDnuRrglJYWtzLL8XbCJBxe5njBjEq6vADxVsnxKkN9U7bbhOkDiC7vQ~jXn23lVk51im--4Pc-Xe9BEQTfSz6-1x9UA8s9DwIl8jeFsJkpTzd4jWX6FLIeOByjOPq2lDS9ib0TLpYNGG18q9BdtQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Danvers Conservation Commission voted to grant waivers for work within the 35- and 50-foot buffer zones and to issue an order of conditions for an after-the-fact enclosed-deck addition at 2 Ipswich River Road, DEP file 14-1436. The motion included a condition that the applicant post a $1,500 bond before commencing additional work.

Jay Polakowitz of Hancock Associates presented the application on behalf of homeowner Derek Batai. Polakowitz described the work as an enclosure of an existing deck built on sonotubes; he said there was no new foundation or change in volume between pre-construction and post-construction, and proposed a crushed-stone “drip edge” infiltration trench to handle roof runoff. He said recent FEMA flood maps are preliminary and that the addition’s first-floor elevation is more than 1 foot above the mapped flood elevation. He added that flood openings will be added to meet flood-zone performance standards.

Homeowner Derek Batai told the commission he had relied on a contractor’s incorrect advice and stopped work after receiving an enforcement order. Batai said, “I relied on bad information… once I found out I met with Emily, I hired Hancock Associates.”

Commissioners asked for cost and surety information. Staff recommended and the commission required a bond to ensure completion of required mitigation and erosion-control work; the board suggested $1,000–$1,500 and set $1,500 in the motion. The commission also discussed erosion controls, the proposed crushed-stone infiltration trench sized at roughly 30 inches wide by 24 inches deep, and stock conditions for pool/drainage work generally.

Motions to close the public hearing, to grant the waivers with a $1,500 bond, and to issue the order of conditions were each moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. Commission members indicated they will monitor implementation through the agent and enforcement channels if the approved conditions are not followed.","The commission granted waivers and issued an order of conditions for an after-the-fact addition at 2 Ipswich River Road (DEP 14-1436), requiring a $1,500 bond before further work and flood openings to meet flood-zone performance standards.

The certificate covers roadway and drainage work associated with the subdivision and the wetland replication area the commission approved in the order of conditions issued in October 2019. John Morin of the Morin-Cameron Group, representing Beaverbrook Woods LLC, told the commission, “The plants are all doing well. We're happy to report that the actual wetland filling was slightly less than what was approved, and the wetland replication area was slightly larger than what was approved.”

Commission staff reported that Danvers Engineering has signed off on the as-built submission and that LEC oversaw installation and submitted a monitoring report. Commissioners noted that two individual lots still have open orders of conditions that run until March 2026 and that one of those lots (Lot 8) still has outstanding backyard landscaping and therefore has not requested its own certificate of compliance.

The motion approved issuance of a certificate of compliance for Collin Toney Drive, DEP file 14-1330, and expressly attached a list of conditions from the original order of conditions. The commission chair called attention to condition 39, which restricts pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and fertilizers within 100 feet of wetlands, and asked staff to confirm signage and continued enforcement on individual lots.

Commissioners asked staff to monitor the remaining open lot orders and to follow up before the March 2026 expiration. The motion passed by voice vote with all commissioners present voting in favor.

The commission did not change open orders on individual lots; the certificate applies only to the road and associated replication area as described in the October 2019 order of conditions. The applicant and town staff said they would ensure the remaining lot-level work is completed under the existing orders.","The Town of Danvers Conservation Commission voted unanimously to issue a certificate of compliance for Collin Toney Drive at the Beaverbrook Woods subdivision (DEP file 14-1330), finding the road and associated wetland replication built in substantial compliance with the order of conditions. Two individual lot orders remain open until 2026.","actionData","errors"]
