REQUESTS for CERTIFICATES of COMPLIANCE
New: 9 Curtis Point Road, DEP File #5 -710 — install toe stones, topsoil and plantings on
eroding coastal bank — Shy Jerabek
Bill Manuell representing the applicant describes the permitting history for this project, which
originally proposed rip rap revetment that was denied by the Commission. Subsequently, the
landscape contractor proposed to install a few toe stones as the base of the eroding area,
importing soil, planting shrubs and salt tolerant grasses to help stabilize the bank. The planting
occurred in 2001. Manuell notes he and Maxner have visited the site and coastal bank appears to
be very well stabilized and fully vegetated. He explains that a waiver from the as -built plan is
being requested. Maxner concurred about coastal bank being well vegetated and trees slated for
preservation are doing well.
Paluzzi moves to issue a Certificate of Compliance and waiver from the as -built plan. Seconded
by Herbster. The motion carries 5 -0.

to apartment, till, reseed the rear yard and install perimeter stone drainage trench. Maxner
explains this property is within 200' Riverfront Area and 100 -foot buffer zone to coastal bank.
Discussion ensues about existing retaining wall stone that could be reused or taken offsite.
Barnes notes it is unknown if fill at site can be reused. Members review the proposed plan and
discuss equipment access to the project areas. Barnes notes he expects to do this project in the
spring and all work will be manual with wheel barrows used to transport materials to and from
the driveway as there is no way heavy equipment can go beyond the driveway. Bertoni asks if the
footprint of any surfaces will change. Barnes states he is replacing what exists with no increase

Ed Hutchinson of Tetra Tech on behalf of the applicant addresses the Commission. He explains
that DOT is a State agency filing only under the Massachusetts State Wetlands Protection Act,
since it is not subject to local bylaws or ordinances. He explains the project, that as part of the
impaired waters remediation program, Mass. DOT is proposing to resurface about 4.48 miles of
Route 128 and install stormwater BMP's in certain locations along the route on northbound
lanes. Work to take place within 100 -foot buffer zone to BVW and 200 -Foot Riverfront Area to
the Bass River and an unnamed perennial stream. No additional impervious surface will be
added. Compost filter tubes will be used for sedimentation and erosion controls. Stormwater
BMPs will be installed to minimize TSS discharge and minimize impact to Bass River. Area by
interchange is near where the work is proposed on state highway but resurfacing project is not

part of connector road. Check dams will be improved in existing drainage swale. Hutchinson
notes that annual inspection is done associated with BMP and mowing is done when needed with
wetland vegetation avoided. Discussion ensues about how sand and salt is used by the State for
de -icing with metered equipment. DOT work is programmed to be done in the spring and
summer.
Bertoni asks if there are any questions form the audience. There are none.

New: Re -Open Public Hearing: 43 Water Street, DEP #5 -1079 — install steel sheet pile
bulkhead, fill land under ocean, install travel lift and floating docks — Beverly Port Marina
Maxner reads legal notice.
Jon Silver representing the applicant explains the proposal is to install a steel sheet pile wall
seaward of the current bulkhead and fill and pave over approximately 3,500 square feet of Land
Under the Ocean (LUO), construct a new travel lift, install new floating docks and new support
piles within a Designated Port Area (see 310 CMR 10.26 for DPA). He explains the travel lift has
been out of commission for three years and impacted operation of marina. All seawalls
associated with travel lift are constructed of wood and have pulled away from hot top and walls
could collapse. He notes another concern is safety associated with location of fuel storage tanks
and proximity to travel lift. Since the marina first approached the Commission in 2012 the
condition of the seawalls have gotten worse over time. He explains the project would involve
providing additional buffer in front of the fuel storage tanks by putting a new seawall in front of
existing seawall and fill in water behind. He notes the plan includes two piers to come out from
wall to operate travel lift in deeper water to haul boats for majority of day. In addition, a
walkway would be installed along the waterfront and abutting property on Water Street creating
lateral public access. Also, there would be fewer areas of access for pedestrians to travel lift
increasing safety.
Silver goes on to explain that currently there is 15' to 20' from fuel storage tanks to top of the
seawall and sand is leached out underneath by the tide, causing sink holes and support cables are
broken allowing wall to collapse into ocean. He states that with the new seawall cable anchors
would be buried in front of fuel storage tanks, and proposed location for seawall is at 10' base
flood elevation. He recalls that in 2006 a Stormceptor was installed which filters storm runoff
from catch basins. The proposed project includes a manhole tied to City's sewer in the street as
well as a gate valve to contain water or spills from getting into harbor. MEPA determined that an
EIR was not necessary. The State has given the authority for the applicant to proceed to Chapter
91 and comments from State were included in the packet to the Commission. Division of Marine
Fisheries has commented on winter flounder habitat relative to no construction from January to
June. Also, an engineering evaluation was done on additional wave action to abutting property.
Silva notes that generally few waves come into the harbor due to way Beverly Harbor is south

facing and depth. The fundamental issue is the undermining of the land by flooding during
storms so the applicant is not considering raising the double wall construction fuel tanks which
have valves that are closed every night during the operating season. Also, the shed on woodpiles
needs to be rebuilt as well as deck with steel piles. There is interest in rebuilding floats in area
which should not add any square footage.
Silver describes five alternatives that were considered and why they proved not viable, they
included: 1. do nothing, 2. rebuild what exists, 3. fill just in front of the fuel storage tanks, 4.
build with piers /piles, but the piles would not support the weight expected. 5. current proposal
now before the Commission. He notes that intent is to get project done before designated port
area is redefined.
Silver explains the permit process, with the first step of a three -part process is to get the Order of
Conditions from the Commission, followed by Chapter 91 approval, and then Army Corps of
Engineers approval. Chapter 91 mitigation that would be required that translates to $2 /per cubic
yard of fill. The Army Corps of Engineers would not have any mitigation requirement for this
size project. Maxner refers to peer review done by Apex and recommendation was that the
applicant seek MEPA and gather other agency input. The stormwater management was analyzed
and determined to be compliant in regard to small amount of increased impervious surface, silt
sacks will be put in the catch basins for TSS removal. The applicant plans to put in a wash water
recycle system for pressure washing of boats likely to be located in a shed. Silver notes that
details on this system will be provided to the Commission.
Bertoni asks if there are any questions from the audience.
John Buckholdt, 26 Front Street asks why the travel lift was not maintained after it was rendered
unusable after storm in 2012 when applicant was dealing with political/litigation issues, and
seeking approval from Commission and state agencies. Silver explains proposal for pilings for
travel lift in response. Bill Finch, 50 Front Street, speaks to Jubilee Yacht Club travel lift being
constructed on piles. Discussion addresses how proposal involves the gain of 3,500 square feet of
land for the marina.
Members agree a site visit is needed. Paluzzi moves to continue the hearing to the November
18t' meeting pending a site visit on Saturday, November 1, 2014 at 12:30 p.m. Seconded by
Herbster. The motion carries 5 -0.
OLD/NEW BUSINESS
New: 242 Dodge Street — Enforcement Order Follow -up — Scott Barbeau
Maxner explains that Mr. Barbeau has not submitted the required material, and therefore she has
started issuing fines. Discussion ensues with Mr. Barbeau about his need for complying with the
Conservation Commission Enforcement Order for filling of the floodplain to be in compliance
with the State Wetlands Act and local Ordinance. Mr. Barbeau explains that 2 years ago he had
added 15' of fill to his yard, and then later the FEMA floodplain map changed that placed his
property in a flood zone. He claims work was not done in floodplain 2 years ago. Maxner states
Conservation Commission
October 21, 2014 Meeting Minutes
Page 7 of 12
that the City Engineer verified on site that fill is in the floodplain and that there is a violation.
Extensive discussion addresses actions Mr. Barbeau must to take to manage the directives in the
Enforcement Order. Mr. Barbeau states he is not in violation and had a permit from the
Engineering Department for the fill and asks the Commission to cancel the Enforcement Order
and fines. Further discussion ensues, with Bertoni noting that the Commission cannot rescind
the EO until the violation is remedied. Mr. Barbeau leaves the meeting.
New: Request for Minor Modification to Order of Conditions: Route 128, Exit 19
Interchange at Brimbal Avenue, DEP File #5 -1131— City of Beverly c/o Michael P. Cahill,
Mayo
Maxner explains the request for Minor Modification to the Order of Conditions issued by the
Commission governing Phase 1 improvements to Route 128 Exit 19 Interchange at Brimbal
Avenue and Sohier Road. She reminds the Commission this project includes reconstruction of
the connector road with roundabouts, reconstruction and widening of sections of Brimbal Avenue
and Sohier Road, and installation of stormwater BMP's. She notes that the boilerplate Standard
Conditions that the Commission routinely issues includes a condition that reads: No sodium -
based products shall be used for control of ice or snow within 100 feet of the wetland. She notes
based on the consultant's letter, the State cannot comply with this condition and has asked that it
be eliminated from the Order. Members discuss the request.
Paluzzi moves to strike this condition in the Order. Seconded by Knight. The motion carries 4 -0-
1 with Herb ster abstaining.
New: 6 Chanticleer Drive — unauthorized tree removal — Katrina & Kristian Kristensen
