The Town of Danvers Conservation Commission discussed the proposal, noted required stormwater management review, and issued an order of conditions subject to engineering/stormwater approval and a requirement to return if the footprint increases into jurisdictional resource areas.

Thor Akerley, a professional wetland scientist with Williams & Spurges, described the lot and proposed work. He said the property’s northern portion contains an unnamed perennial stream and an associated bank; there are no bordering vegetated wetlands mapped at the site. The proposed addition is on existing lawn, where the applicant plans to remove an older area of pavement (used as a play surface) and add a new paved driveway extension that results in a net increase in impervious surface. The applicant has proposed infiltration chambers and other subsurface stormwater measures; the commission was told stormwater management permitting (MassDEP and local engineering review) is still pending.

Commission staff and members queried whether the project triggers other board approvals (zoning or special permits). The applicants and their consultant said the EFLA as designed is at or below the 750-square-foot threshold that would avoid Zoning Board of Appeals relief, but acknowledged that if the final interior layout or footprint changes such that the living area or footprint increases into jurisdictional resource areas, they must return to the commission and potentially seek other board approvals. The commission emphasized that if engineering/stormwater conditions are not met, the project cannot proceed.

Erosion-control measures were shown on the plan (silt fence along the rear fence line and other controls). The applicant expects most work to occur outside the 50-foot buffer; staff asked that stormwater calculations for roof runoff and the proposed infiltration chamber be completed for the engineering review prior to finalization of conservation conditions.

The commission moved to close the public hearing and issue an order of conditions subject to the applicant obtaining appropriate stormwater management approval and returning if the footprint expands or otherwise impacts jurisdictional resource areas; the motion passed by voice vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town of Danvers: Conservation Commission Meeting - 5/8/25","oneSentenceSummary","James and Diane Rau presented a Notice of Intent for a 750-square-foot attached extended-family living area at 33 Cabot Road (DEP File 14-1435).

Commission staff noted the original Order of Conditions dated to 2015 and that no work had been undertaken under that approval. The commission moved and voted to issue the certificate of compliance, clearing the older file so the applicants may proceed with a new filing.

The motion passed with the members present indicating approval by voice vote.

The commission said the changes — moving the deck and stairs outside the 35- and 50-foot buffer zones and relocating a shed outside those buffers — reduce the proposed project’s impact on adjacent wetland resource areas. Commissioners also required removal of trash from the wetland, daily removal of excavation spoils, restrictions on stockpiling within the 35- and 50-foot buffer zones, and a prohibition on fertilizer use on the garden adjacent to the wetland. The applicant must record the garden’s existing size on a follow-up plan; the homeowner estimated the garden at about 20 by 20 feet.

The commission’s decision follows a presentation by Paul Finocchio of PGF & Associates, who described a site visit and the applicant’s decision to move a planned deck and to add stairs from an existing roof-level deck so that the work now sits outside the 50-foot “no disturb” area. The homeowner, Valentine Nana, confirmed the garden’s approximate dimensions and agreed to file an amended plan showing the garden footprint.

Commissioners asked staff and the applicant for details on erosion control and construction staging. The applicant told the commission that a silt sock and black silt fence would be installed along the work area and that there would be no excavation fill left on site overnight. The commission noted that stockpiled materials or construction debris should not be stored in the 35- or 50-foot buffers and requested that daily site cleanup be required in the order of conditions.

The motion to issue the order of conditions listed the agreed items: relocation of deck and stairs outside the 35- and 50-foot buffers, removal or relocation of the shed to outside those buffers, no fertilizer or herbicide use in the garden adjacent to the wetland, no stockpiling within the 35/50 buffers (with some material removal required daily), removal of trash from the wetlands, and a requirement that the garden remain no larger than its current size as shown on a to-be-filed plan. The commission recorded the order of conditions as valid for three years, with the usual option to request a one-year extension if work is not complete.

The commission did not record a roll-call vote during the audio; the motion passed with the members present indicating approval (“Aye”).

Procedural notes: the hearing opened after roll call and public comment; required erosion controls and construction staging were discussed on the record and included in the order. The commission clarified it lacks jurisdiction over matters outside the Wetlands Protection Act and the Town of Danvers Wetlands Protection Bylaw, such as traffic or noise.","The Town of Danvers Conservation Commission closed a public hearing and issued an order of conditions for 5 Spring Street requiring the deck and stairs be relocated outside buffer zones, removal of a shed and wetland trash, limits on stockpiling and fertilizer, and that the existing garden remain no larger than its current size.","actionData","errors"]
