267 Centre Street review continued after wetland scientist finds unmapped hydrology and historic fill
Summary
The commission continued the Notice of Intent for 267 Centre Street to June 11 after a wetland scientist reported field indicators of wetland function on an apparently long‑filled lot; commissioners requested a site visit before acting.
The Town of Danvers Conservation Commission continued review of a Notice of Intent for 267 Centre Street to its June 11 meeting after hearing that the lot contains field indicators of wetland function despite not appearing on DEP or National Wetlands Inventory maps.
John Dick, a wetland scientist representing the property, said the site contains skunk cabbage and other hydrology indicators and extensive historic fill including brick and rubble. The proposal would modify a house footprint that overlaps no‑disturb and no‑build zones and includes slope regrading, invasive species removal, native replanting and roof runoff measures intended to recharge onsite.
Commissioners requested a site visit prior to taking action so members could assess conditions in the field. The applicant, John LaCroix, said the family intends to live in the house and agreed to the site visit. The hearing was continued to June 11, 2026.
