The action follows extensive public testimony and a lengthy Select Board discussion.

The resolution requests measures including stricter flight-path management, restrictions on nighttime flights, noise mitigation technologies and the creation of an advisory committee of pilots and aviation experts to research applicable laws and regulations. The board agreed to broaden the list of recipients to include state legislators and \"such other appropriate federal, state, or local officers and agencies as may be relevant,\" per an amendment suggested during the meeting.

Mark Zubrick and several other residents made extended public comments urging stronger action. Zubrick said the larger problem was ongoing airport expansion: new hangars, increased jet traffic and a master plan that, he said, favored expansion without adequate study of impacts on Danvers neighborhoods. He asked the Select Board to include a request to halt hangar construction and runway expansion until the town receives an environmental impact study assessing air emissions, water and soil impacts, runoff and flooding.

\"The biggest issue is all of this happening at the airport and to our neighborhoods is a result of the expansion of the Beverly Airport and the impact on the quality of life in Danvers,\" Zubrick said. He also asked that the town pursue more Danvers representation on the airport commission and that the town press for a comprehensive environmental review prior to further expansion.

Select Board members said the resolution was the next step in an ongoing engagement with the airport. Several members urged using the resolution to open dialogue and then form an advisory committee to drill into technical questions, while others said the community should be prepared for federal limits on local authority over aircraft operations.

\"This is a good first step,\" one board member said in discussion, adding that the board would form an advisory committee and pursue additional detail in follow-up work. A motion to approve the resolution as amended passed on a 5-0 voice vote after board members confirmed they would pursue follow-up and allow public contributors to help shape the next draft of the document.

Public speakers urged a range of next steps, from an immediate halt to further hangar construction to negotiation for greater Danvers representation on airport bodies. The Select Board directed staff to finalize the amended resolution text and forward it to Beverly Airport management, Governor's offices, state legislators, the Federal Aviation Administration and other relevant agencies, and to convene an advisory committee to examine additional requests from residents.

The board said it would keep the matter active and use the advisory committee to prioritize feasible legal or regulatory steps.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town of Danvers: Select Board Meeting - 4/15/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Danvers Select Board on April 15 adopted a resolution asking Beverly Regional Airport management and relevant state and federal agencies to take immediate steps to reduce noise, prepare for unleaded aviation fuel and improve communications with town officials, after residents pressed the board for a broader review of airport expansion.","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},6603461,"Votes at a glance: Select Board approves licenses, easement, sidewalk occupation, reappointment and other routine items",2115,1445000,3560000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3000150-ad84c201e2f336646db5e14fc5d23b9b&start=1445&end=3560","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3000150-ad84c201e2f336646db5e14fc5d23b9b/thumbnail_1445000.jpg","/articles/6603461/Town-of-Danvers/Essex-County/Massachusetts/Votes-at-a-glance-Select-Board-approves-licenses-easement-sidewalk-occupation-reappointment-and-other-routine-items","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603461-490bd037079b29edf94de7a4e4d4f5ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445564&Signature=CwVEO3rWPg0COYmvycAcoaCeKCcL72hAE3cQGbJXULKZIsj2hLMd7hQYYf2d5hvt~y7ecFeiNdTj2dA3tEUIE0hF8eLLfQE31P9xrD~odzE7ZQGwiBcxRhMsasdQZ68XkVG4lOTw05PM5p5JlKCjYE2kxLEbD5CvAqLF39cpEMYtw0XhLn1kkrsMOBrkou3r~0LF6v-yjmPfCoRg~N-O3cGngGc0yKI7fCgE3jip~2q1MM1nR4XRI7nWNmx97eQGP8G1onyp76yDkeUiEgPl~Zrhh~GKTlgF6rSazhyMyiXY0fJFidXE8-VXRDbCpYFcDSzio-jaHCb0DQc5ozf2hw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its April 15 meeting the Danvers Select Board took a series of routine and project-specific actions. Below are the formal outcomes and key details.

- Minutes: The board approved the minutes of April 1, 2025 as corrected.

- Arch Meadow Drive easement (20 Archmeadow Drive): The board executed documents to acquire an easement at 20 Archmeadow Drive to secure continued access to the landfill/transfer station scale area and associated utility corridor. Town Engineer Stephen King explained the easement supports access and utilities tied to the landfill project. The execution reflected prior appropriation and did not require additional public hearing.

- Riverside School playground gift: The Select Board voted to accept a donation of $50,000 from the Riverside School PAC to the town, under the authority of Massachusetts General Laws chapter 44, section 53A, to support construction of a new playground at Riverside School. Riverside Principal Sarah Fitzgerald and PAC treasurer Sarah Tugender presented the donation; the board accepted it unanimously.

- Sidewalk occupation/modification for 17 Elm Street (Wakefield Associates / JMR Companies): The board approved a modification to a previously granted application to occupy the public way in front of 17 Elm Street. Applicant Nancy McCann (representing JMR/owner Joe Robato) said the building permit issuance will trigger construction and that the construction management plan now uses per-phase day counts (45, 60, 180, 30, 30) rather than fixed calendar dates. The board approved occupation to commence upon issuance of the building permit and authorized up to 14 months for completion per the revised CMP and phasing schedule.

- Bentwater Brewing one-day malt & wine license (Endicott Park, Onion Town Day): The board approved a one-day malt and wine license for Bentwater Brewing LLC to sell malt beverages and wine at Endicott Park on Saturday, June 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The applicant said servers were TIPS-certified and the event benefits the Friends of Endicott Park.

- Banner permit (HRIC Pride banner): The board approved a banner application by the Human Rights and Inclusion Committee for a Pride banner and event on Saturday, June 7; two board members recorded abstentions during that vote.

- Temporary Town Manager contract extension: The board voted to extend the temporary town manager's contract and pay rate until the newly appointed town manager assumes office (anticipated mid-May), approving an interim extension at the same rate approved previously.

- Consent calendar and other routine items: The board approved the consent calendar and other consent items submitted with the agenda.

Several items that had extended public discussion (for example, permitting and noise issues around downtown businesses) were handled either by separate agenda action or by directing owners to report back to the board.

Formal votes were recorded in meeting minutes for each item; the Select Board asked staff to track several follow-ups (e.g., owner reports, easement paperwork filing, and the advisory committee on the airport matter).","At its April 15 meeting the Danvers Select Board approved a batch of routine and project items: an easement tied to the landfill site, a $50,000 playground donation to Riverside School, a sidewalk-occupation modification for 17 Elm Street timed from the building permit, several license approvals, and an extension of the temporary town manager contract.",{"_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},6603463,"Town staff and consultants report progress on Resilient Danvers buildings plan; municipal energy baseline work underway",408,6384000,6792000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3000150-ad84c201e2f336646db5e14fc5d23b9b&start=6384&end=6792","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3000150-ad84c201e2f336646db5e14fc5d23b9b/thumbnail_6384000.jpg","/articles/6603463/Town-of-Danvers/Essex-County/Massachusetts/Town-staff-and-consultants-report-progress-on-Resilient-Danvers-buildings-plan-municipal-energy-baseline-work-underway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603463-1451c027c209fa50abc7e3ac649921fe/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445564&Signature=bQv-ViXguayTNrjvViejTAAYRSXO0Isd1Kj~esnmBdloAKb0es-Jv5420NirwO1pqGdfycyVw7eIlN9In4j-wK~abv8OXP4LrB~Ig~5czgVALCqMTMXBL-cJx02vscGOa-91IDYgKRPPzcCqZQxfT9XtDO51xYYQGg1VYtAJkfzXbmYLVOKETGNCxMdITQHdDwe5SR0OZ5LsGOvWEjqDHd53GugnWEUhwiwc9S0Ciu9~hKIy3oZCneTLL4NyYdJXC5h1MrU1IIWhTM34HnQj0pcwMfHx7B3MTF1X43-SBWAfNrvxBarChof2fll1BhHxkKV2464-Y4zwMhb4pck2QQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Town staff and consultants provided an update April 15 on the buildings portion of the Resilient Danvers CASPER plan, reporting progress on several implementation items and outlining next steps.

Aaron Henry, the town's buildings/climate implementation lead, briefed the Select Board on progress including: establishing an energy baseline for municipal buildings and facilities in coordination with Danvers Electric; completing updates to the town\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000's floodplain bylaw at Town Meeting (the board was told FEMA has reviewed the measures and the new Flood Insurance Study and maps will take effect July 8, 2025); updating historic-district guidelines related to energy and solar installations; and pilot efforts to help low-income households with weatherization and energy-efficiency measures via Habitat and Affordable Housing Trust coordination.

Henry said roughly 40% of Danvers' greenhouse-gas emissions come from buildings and that around 93% of homes rely primarily on fossil fuels (oil or gas), so the town sees buildings as a high-impact area for emissions reduction. He described work to quantify municipal energy use across buildings, street and traffic lighting and municipal fleet as the primary near-term task, and said staff expects that effort to take several months to complete.

Board members asked about the economics of electrification for homeowners and the feasibility of incentives or rebate programs; staff said the town will coordinate with Danvers Electric on programmatic incentives and with state programs for low-income weatherization. The town manager also reported that FEMA had reviewed the floodplain management measures and that the updated Flood Insurance Study and maps will become effective July 8, 2025.

The board did not take formal action on new regulations at the meeting but directed staff to continue baseline work, seek funding and coordination for household retrofit programs, and return with specific program proposals and estimated costs where required.","Staff updated the Select Board on implementation steps from the Resilient Danvers CASPER plan related to buildings: municipal energy baseline work with Danvers Electric, updated floodplain bylaw now approved, updated historic-district guidance for solar, and pilot programs for low-income weatherization.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6603475,"Select Board approves outdoor entertainment for Berry Tavern with 11 p.m. limit, asks owner to report back",1196,1794000,2990000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3000150-ad84c201e2f336646db5e14fc5d23b9b&start=1794&end=2990","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3000150-ad84c201e2f336646db5e14fc5d23b9b/thumbnail_1794000.jpg","/articles/6603475/Town-of-Danvers/Essex-County/Massachusetts/Select-Board-approves-outdoor-entertainment-for-Berry-Tavern-with-11-pm-limit-asks-owner-to-report-back","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603475-80c6fa99776b3102a6f3e9731391e2b8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445564&Signature=dW~AtjFWoyZll15lVbzGIwDOJ-2AKD2egaHqoZ0I20O5NbpUzlEXPhoL551Dr0cLClfTPLzaurllnQn3FGIv-m2D4tlc4n9g0JslX9vQp7KLWzlBjiy9MhUsVCy7COpcijws4nxfAu5wtlOblFvmP4rrcJ2CKsefEzIw2wupeEgZ0O6lI6-CpAR0Kyw5L0W6gHkzqcHmMTk2sqsz1zXLPWu8cRdvPuCWXFEeygRd2WNSN3DsTlKW5tStrBT2q8~tJgWaNgg7iRSd~tcwZpvKKpQTZ~LCj-ODMlFveEgVXu-ojIWffr3fzUHwxvqmBpi4h4P7bj-BCIjFyN1DRLpS9g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Danvers Select Board on April 15 approved a modification to the seven-day entertainment license for the Berry Tavern, 2 High Street, allowing outdoor entertainment and limited outdoor sound, with the board setting an 11 p.m. cutoff and asking the owner to report back at the end of the year.

Owner Joe Bono, who told the board the restaurant has run live music indoors two nights a week and wanted the option to open windows and use a single speaker for the patio, said he had reached out to nearby residents and offered his cell phone for immediate contact if noise becomes a problem. \"If there's a problem, I close the window or whatever,\" Bono said. \"I'll give whatever my cell phone number you call me if I have a problem.\"

The board heard multiple public comments from neighbors who said indoor music could be heard inside nearby houses and expressed concern about adding outdoor sound. Nick Angelo of 36 Park Street said he could hear current indoor music from inside his home and that he had a 2- and 4-year-old who would be affected once windows are open. A second neighbor, Alan Rooney of 33 Park Street, said the restaurant had previously closed windows after a complaint and was responsive, but that outside entertainment could be different.

Select Board members discussed limits used in prior cases around town, including a 10 p.m. hard stop applied at another venue after repeated complaints. Chair Dan (Select Board Chair) and other members settled on an 11 p.m. maximum for outdoor sound during nights when the tavern offers live music. As part of the approval, board members asked that Mr. Bono: (1) provide a contact protocol for neighbors (Bono offered to provide his cell number); (2) notify the board and neighbors if the tavern holds outdoor live music; and (3) return to the Select Board at the end of the license season with a summary of any complaints and how they were handled.

Bono told the board he had mailed notices to residents within about a 500-foot radius; he said he received one phone call that he handled directly. The board agreed the owner had shown a good-faith effort to reach neighbors prior to the hearing and approved the modification by voice vote. The board also requested the owner voluntarily take decibel readings if outdoor entertainment is held and share results with complainants, a suggestion discussed by members though not adopted as a formal condition.

The board's action authorizes outdoor entertainment as requested, with the operational limit that outdoor sound must end by 11:00 p.m., and with the owner expected to respond promptly to complaints and report back to the Select Board at the end of the season.

Two select members emphasized that the approval could be revisited if complaints prove persistent. \"If it didn't happen, then we go to the next,\" said a board member during the hearing, referencing the board's ability to modify or rescind permissions if necessary.

Votes and formal motion: the Select Board moved to approve the application of 2 High Street Tavern, Inc., d/b/a The Berry Tavern, Joseph Bono, owner, for a modification to a seven-day entertainment license to add outdoor entertainment with hours capped at 11 p.m.; motion carried by voice vote with no recorded opposition.","The Danvers Select Board approved a modification to the Berry Tavern\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000's seven-day entertainment license to add outdoor entertainment, setting an 11 p.m. cutoff and asking the owner to notify neighbors and return with a year-end update after outreach to nearby residents.","actionData","errors"]
