Danvers conservation panel issues certificate of compliance for Beaverbrook Woods road work
Summary
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.
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, on a motion made and seconded during its May meeting.
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.
