At its Nov. 12 meeting the Peabody Conservation Commission handled a cluster of administrative items: the panel ratified an emergency certificate, issued a full certificate of compliance for a residential pool project that used permeable pavers and approved two after‑the‑fact minor permits.
The commission ratified an emergency certificate for removal of a pile at 143 Linfield Street required by the Boston Water & Sewer Commission; staff confirmed the work was completed on schedule and the commission ratified the emergency action. The ratification carried on a unanimous roll call.
Separately, the commission reviewed as‑built documentation for 15 Crestwood Lane and approved a full Certificate of Compliance for an in‑ground pool and dry‑well system, provided the record retains the pool drawdown requirement (condition 49) in perpetuity. The applicant described permeable paver installation details and dry‑well connections; commissioners approved the certificate 6–0.
The commission also considered two after‑the‑fact minor permits for sheds and a non‑stockade fence at 22 and 26 Willowbrae Drive. Staff noted prior guidance from the building inspector and warned owners not to deposit yard‑waste in the buffer; the commission approved the after‑the‑fact permits, with the condition that yard waste not be stored in the buffer and with staff guidance on disposal options.
Those administrative votes were routine but the commission emphasized that work near resource areas requires prior coordination with conservation staff to avoid enforcement follow‑up.
