Jill Mann, attorney for Millipore, told the commission the applicant “was able to eliminate all pavement within the 50 foot buffer on both 12 and on 17.” She said the design also reduces overall impervious area and relocates drive aisles to shrink the paved footprint.

Why it matters: the proposal affects land within the Commission’s wetland buffers and proposes stormwater and invasive-species work intended to improve water quality that currently runs toward an on-site basin and into nearby wetlands.

What the applicant presented: Millipore’s team described three primary changes. They removed parking and pavement from buffer areas that previously encroached on the 50-foot buffer; supplied an invasive-species management plan to remove phragmites and other nonnative vegetation; and redesigned internal circulation to reduce impervious area by roughly 1,000 square feet overall. Mark Baker, identified as Millipore’s responsible party, and Maureen Herold (Nourse, wetland scientist) and Thad Berry (civil engineer, ASB) joined Mann in the presentation.

Mann said designers moved a small sliver of pavement — about 58 square feet — forward where planning requirements demanded a minimum drive aisle width, but removed all other previously unauthorized pavement from the 50-foot buffer. She also described a planting and invasive-control program using native, salt- and wet-tolerant species to improve buffer function.

Commission and staff response: ConCom staff told the meeting they received the revised plans the same day and had not completed a full engineering review. Staff recommended continuing the hearing to allow engineering and planning comments to be prepared in writing. Planning department staff and the project’s planning-board liaison were already engaged, the applicant said, and Millipore asked the commission for a nonbinding sense of support so the planning board could proceed at its August hearing.

Members pressed for specifics about planting lists, bond requirements and long-term maintenance. The applicant said a planting list and a more detailed planting layout can be submitted; the notice of intent narrative already lists candidate shrubs and trees including lowbush and highbush blueberry, bayberry, serviceberry, red cedar, white spruce and pin oak.

Action taken: The commission voted to continue the notice of intent for 12 and 17 Cherry Hill Drive, DEP file 14-1438, to the Aug. 14 meeting to allow a full engineering review and to finalize conditions. The motion to continue was made and seconded on the record; the board voted in favor.

Next steps: The applicant will provide the engineering memo and a more-detailed planting layout for the commission’s packet before the Aug. 14 meeting. Staff signaled a likely request for a planting survival bond if the commission approves extensive planting within the Commission’s jurisdictional areas.

Staff said the applicant had satisfied most conditions related to the site work but that two conditions in the order of conditions — items 12 and 13 — remained outstanding and were the responsibility of the current homeowners. Emily, the ConCom agent, reported a site visit and recommended issuing a partial certificate of compliance while reserving items 12 and 13.

Why it matters: the Certificate of Compliance (partial or full) documents that work required by an earlier permit has been completed. Items 12 and 13 — described on the record as landscaping and stormwater/planting obligations tied to a performance bond — remain to be completed or secured by the new homeowners.

Public comment and staff view: Pete Clement, introduced as a town-meeting member from Precinct 3, told the commission at the site visit that “everything that you requested has been accomplished” except for a handrail above the water line. Staff and the applicant agreed that because the outstanding items are still in the order of conditions, the commission could release most of the permit but retain conditions 12 and 13.

Action taken: The commission voted to continue consideration of the partial certificate of compliance for 30 Sherwood Avenue, DEP 14-1429, to the Aug. 14 meeting so the applicant or homeowners can appear and the commission can confirm satisfaction of items 12 and 13 or set bond amounts.

Next steps: The applicant (Alex Shuck, North Shore Real Estate Solutions) was directed to appear on Aug. 14 or otherwise provide evidence that the remaining conditions have been satisfied; staff noted the existence of a bond and recommended clarifying its status before final release.

Michael Page of Griffin Engineering described the work as a like-for-like replacement within existing lawn and intertidal areas and said the project holds a Chapter 91 license. Page said the proposal replaces the existing pier with a fixed pier roughly 4 feet wide and about 178 feet long, with a 3-foot-by-40-foot gangway to two floats (6-by-13 feet and 6-by-20 feet). He said the floats will rest on pilings and provide 30 inches of clearance from mud at low tide and that the seawall will be replaced with a concrete segmental wall and raised from about elevation 7.3 to elevation 8.0.

Why it matters: the site sits in land subject to coastal storm flowage and riverfront area; the seawall and pier reach into intertidal areas and the commission wants the harbormaster’s written comments before final action.

Harbormaster and public-review steps: Page said the harbormaster asked that the pier be moved shoreward about 20–25 feet; the applicants adjusted the plan accordingly and the harbormaster had not yet put his written comments in the file. ConCom staff said they received revised plans that afternoon and wanted the harbormaster’s comments and time for staff review before issuing an approval.

Next steps and site visit: Commissioners directed staff to request the harbormaster’s written review and to coordinate a site visit. The commission made a motion to continue the hearing to Aug. 14 and to arrange a site visit; the motion carried.

Matthew Ashley of Boller Engineering, presenting for the applicant, described a redevelopment that converts an existing Fidelity Investments building and parking area into a roughly 3,300-square-foot Raising Cane’s with a dual drive-through and 29 parking spaces. Ashley said the plan reduces impervious cover on the site by about 17 percent and adds stormwater controls, including deep-sump hooded catch basins, vegetated filter strips and either a subsurface infiltration system or a surface basin.

Why it matters: the site straddles the Danvers–Peabody town line and drains toward a perennial stream that the applicant proposes to stabilize with a channelized, riprap-reinforced swale. The project proposes more than 100 trees and shrubs and roughly 180 ground-planting units to replace sparse existing landscaping.

Commission action and rationale: The commission closed the public hearing and then voted to issue an order of conditions with “additional conditions as discussed” on the record. Staff and commissioners noted they had not yet received a final engineering memo from town engineering but said the work in Danvers falls principally between the 100-foot and 200-foot riverfront buffers and that the plans represent an improvement over existing unmitigated runoff.

Speakers and concerns: Ashley said the design will reduce peak runoff rates, promote recharge and clean runoff before it reaches the river. Commissioners asked whether changes required by planning or engineering would trigger a return to the Conservation Commission; staff said major footprint changes would prompt return, but minor engineering adjustments likely would not.

Next steps: The project will continue through the town planning and engineering review processes; staff will monitor any later plan changes that affect the footprint or wetland jurisdiction. The order of conditions was issued on July 24 and recorded in the commission’s permit files.","The Danvers Conservation Commission closed the public hearing and issued an order of conditions for a Raising Cane’s restaurant at 200 Endicott Street (DEP 14-1439).
