The Danvers Planning Board on April 8 unanimously endorsed an Approval Not Required (ANR) perimeter plan for property known as 32 Maple Street (also cited as 30–36 Maple Street), filed by Robert G. Scurano as trustee of J. Gabb Realty Trust.

The application was presented as an ANR perimeter plan that does not depict or create a subdivision or any change to existing lot lines; the plan shows the property’s legal boundaries for the existing lot in the Danvers Town Core (DTCC) zoning district. Trustee Robert G. Scurano told the board he has owned the property for more than 35 years and that the submission “is basically, to preserve the existing zoning.”

Chair Louis George stepped away from the dais for this item because he disclosed membership on the Danvers Historical Society, which abuts the property; Jean Hartnett served as acting chair for the ANR hearing.

Board member Tim Spittle moved to endorse the ANR; Michael Deculis seconded. The board voted in favor by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The applicant was instructed to coordinate with planning staff regarding recordation and any next steps.

Ending: The ANR endorsement finds the property not to be a subdivision as presented and allows the applicant to record the endorsed plan with the Southern Essex Registry of Deeds if desired.
