REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE Cont: 100 & 102 Hull Street, DEP File #5 -1205 — construct two new single family houses and associated appurtenances — MJP Properties, Inc. c/o Mike Panzero & Susan Purdy The Commission would like to see a revised as -built plan and a written response to initial comments from the site visit. Project Engineer Bob Griffin explained that all work has been done but seed has not grown up yet and plan has been revised. Herbster moves to continue to the June 11, 2019. Seconded by Squibb. The motion carries 6 -0. Cont: 14 Cleveland Rd. (f.k.a. 391R Elliot St.), DEP File #5 -786 — construct a single- family home and associated site 2radin2 and utility work — William & Linda Beard The Commission had tabled this request and asked for an RDA to formally permit the elements that were not on the original approved plan and provide mitigation plantings and other site work to improve issues. An RDA was submitted. The mitigation has been carried out. A site inspection was done today and plants look good. The NDZ markers are installed, and wood pile was removed. Trap rock is underneath the deck. Riprap has been extended from the driveway discharge point to protect against erosion. Erosion control will remain until grass is growing. There were no special conditions beyond the standard conditions. Conservation Commission May 29, 2019 Meeting Minutes Page 2of12 Buchsbaum moves to issue a Certificate of Compliance for 14 Cleveland Road. Seconded by Pirrotta_ The motion carries 6 -0. Cont: 143 West Street, DEP #5 -808 - raze existing and construct new single family home and associated appurtenances - Daniel Carnevale The July 2001 Order governed razing the existing and construction of a new single family home utilizing partial footprint of existing home, reconfiguration of driveway, swimming pool, deck and associated landscaping. Work took place within 200 -Foot Riverfront Area, 100 -Foot Buffer Zone and Bordering Land Subject to Flooding (compensatory flood storage was required). Bob Griffin representing the applicant notes that the work has been completed with the exception of the landscaping improvements. A site inspection was done. Also, a plan has been submitted showing concrete paver patio being moved out of the 25' NDZ. Virginia rose and creeping juniper plants have been added to supplement the arborvitaes as part of the mitigation plan. Plantings will be added to the other side of the pathway. An Enforcement Order would have to be issued to allow additional work since the Order has expired. Squibb moves to issue an Enforcement Order to facilitate the movement of the patio and plantings as proposed on the plan dated on May 23, 2019. Seconded by Buchsbaum. The motion carries 6 -0. Pirrotta moves to continue to the June 11, 2019 meeting. Seconded by Squibb. The motion carries 6 -0. New: 400 Hale Street, DEP #5 -1070 - replace existing athletic fields with synthetic fields and associated improvements - Endicott College Chris Broyles, representing Meridian Associates, describes the baseball field where grass field was replaced with synthetic field and associated improvements. Joe Orzel representing the applicant describes mitigation plantings including NDZ restoration. The survival rate has been good. On a slope the plantings have not survived as well (i.e., black birch and witch hazel as well as gray dogwood). In another area there has been spotty vegetation so additional plantings are recommended by dugout where there are better soils. In regard to water quality monitoring in 2018, some lead has been identified in some sampling. In December 2018 all samples were clean. Discussion addresses existing riprap slope and rework that was done. The turf field contractor will be asked how the installation was done and what material is below the artificial turf. The applicant's representative will investigate any drainage specifications associated with the field. There are drainage outlets for frost protection. Herbster moves to continue to the June 11, 2019 meeting. Seconded by Pirrotta. The motion carries 6 -0. New: 400 Hale Street, DEP #5 -1158 - construct access road and associated parking lot in the vicinity of northeast area of the college campus - Endicott College Conservation Commission May 29, 2019 Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 12 Chris Broyles of Meridian Associates, describes construction of the access road and associated parking lot as well as invasive species management (herbicide cutting). This will continue every 5 years according to the Order of Conditions. Joe Orzel speaks to tree removal and buffer zone trash pick -up (spring and fall). He notes that environmental signage (9 signs) has been installed. One sign was moved due to snowplowing issue. He reports on identification of wood frog eggs relative to enhancement of vernal pool. Also mentioned were specifics about shrub and tree plantings. Buchsbaum moves to continue to the June 11, 2019 meeting. Seconded by Squibb. The motion carries 6 -0. REQUEST FOR DETERMINATION OF APPLICABILITY New: 13 Meadow Road - expand existing rear deck and pour concrete form underneath to support proposed storage shed - Ryan Feller Maxner reads legal notice. Ryan Feller describes intent to expand second story deck along the house, but no closer to the wetlands. He plans to excavate two feet below the deck so he can install a shed foundation (18 ft. by 10 ft.) in the existing footprint. The deck steps will be moved to the side farther away from the wetlands. Two support posts will be installed where steps are currently located relative to shed foundation. A gravel drain edge will be installed relative to the increase in impervious surface. Existing railroad ties will be removed. A gutter in the deck area which will remain drains towards the retaining wall. A backhoe will be used to do half day of work but primarily from the driveway. Removed soils will not be stockpiled. A site visit was scheduled for Saturday, June 8, 2019 at 8 a.m. Pirrotta moves to continue until the June 11, 2019 meeting. Seconded by Buchsbaum. The motion carries 6 -0. New: 55 Ober Street, Lynch Park - redistribute sand washed up from 2018 storms - City of Beverly c/o Michael Collins, Commissioner of Public Works and En2ineerin2 Maxner reads legal notice. Mike Collins describes interest in redistributing sand washed up from storms at Lynch Park to restore access to beach for summer. Currently the sand is mounded in a pile next to the volley ball net area, and the sand will be evenly redistributed on the landward side of low profile seawall at Woodbury Beach. A track bobcat would be used for the work. In addition, some long term repairs to seawall are being considered. Discussion was on practical access to beach on concrete path which is used by pedestrians and mechanical wheelchairs. Buchsbaum moves to issue Negative #2 and Negative #3 Determinations with condition that sand displaced will be moved back into position over the exposed seawall. The DPW will be working on longer term solution to problems in the area. Seconded by Herbster. The motion carries 6 -0. New: 11 Wirlin2 Drive - demolish existing rear deck and construct new deck, extend driveway, remove existing and install a new shed, and perform landscape improvements - Kenneth Walden Conservation Commission May 29, 2019 Meeting Minutes Page 4of12 Maxner reads legal notice. Kenneth Walden describes intent to demolish existing rear deck and construct new deck with precast concrete footings, extend driveway to back of house, steps will be moved out some from house. Also proposed is to remove the existing and install a new smaller shed further away from the edge of wetland outside both the 25' NDZ and 50' NBZ, install a stone drip edge for capturing roof and gutter runoff and perform landscape improvements. Maxner verified measurement of lot relative to wetland. The applicant will remove stone dust from area where there was an above ground pool and put loam down. The property is within the 100 foot flood plain and there is no need to grade the area. This project will done with hand work. Squibb moves to issue Negative 92 and Negative 43 Determinations with pervious deck addition and no grading on site, and new shed will be shown in area as indicated on diagram. The former shed area will be reseeded. Seconded by Buchsbaum. The motion carries 6 -0. Recess for Public Hearings Squibb moves to recess for public hearings. Seconded by Pirrotta. The motion carries 6 -0. NOTICES OF INTENT /ABBREVIATED NOTICES OF INTENT /REQUESTS FOR AMENDED ORDERS OF CONDITIONS Cont: 7 Porter Terrace, DEP File #5 -1245 — extend Livingstone Avenue roadway and construct new single family houses — 7 Porter Terrace, LLC c/o Brian Marks Project engineer Bob Griffin from Griffin Engineering representing the applicant describes proposal to extend Livingstone Avenue roadway and construct 3 new single family houses, with associated grading, utilities and stormwater facilities. Work to take place within 100 -foot buffer zone, 25' NDZ and 50' NBZ to bank of intermittent stream, and a waiver worksheet is included in the NOI. The revised plans indicate compliance with stormwater requirements. He notes that the wetland consultant determined that there is no BVW in area of 28, 30, and 32 Ashland Street. An intermittent stream is the only resource area, with no BVW along ditch. The Lot 4 location has been considered relative to resource area, and a Zoning Board of Appeals waiver is being sought regarding proposed road location. In addition, a knotweed management plan was submitted to control invasive species. Griffin cites current hydrologic analysis done for the area that was originally developed in 1912 and drainage improvements resulting from the proposed development. Two drywells will be installed for controlling runoff from the proposed buildings. Dewatering will occur pushing water away from houses. Griffin explains proposed drainage calculations relative to surcharging and flooding of catch basins during the 50 and 100 year storms. Consequently, 18 -inch pipe will be replaced with 24 -inch pipe to reduce risk of flooding. Riprap will be located near the shoreline of Danvers River. A hydrant is located on Livingstone Avenue and water will be brought into the three houses. Bituminous curbing will be used to direct water to catch basins. Mr. Griffin has spoken with abutters regarding control of any water that would discharge onto Conservation Commission May 29, 2019 Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 12 their properties. Another detail is a rain garden which is on the stormwater management plan. Discussion ensues about how water pressure is being reduced in discharge pipe. Peer reviewer William Ross, of New England Civil Engineering Corp., summarized actions taken to date relative to the proposed project. He mentioned building size, driveway changes, impact to wetland resources, and the stormwater management system. Mr. Ross outlines details associated with impervious surface and wetlands as well as removal of sediment before discharge. Recharge will be done with roof runoff. Drywells and rain gardens were added to address neighbors' concern about increased runoff. It was noted that the underground storage tank has been eliminated from the plan and an alternative solution was presented to address potential flooding in the area and increase protection for Porter Terrace. Also mentioned was the location for the proposed garage within the 50' NBZ. He explained details about what gutters should be installed to address drainage. Griffin summarized the 50 and 100 year storm drainage calculations. Ross will investigate the riprap discharge area. Discussion addresses the three versus two lot alternative. The Commission recommends that peer review information be relied upon when reviewing this filing. Griffin notes that there is soft ground (likely caused by test pits and debris) and ledge in the area. Hydraulic fracturing is being analyzed to possibly avoid blasting of ledge. Bradley Pomereau, 36 Ashton Street, inquires about the effect of stormwater and catch basins on existing properties and if there could be more water in their backyards. Griffin responds that water should not pond on the neighbors' or other properties in the vicinity except in heaviest of rainstorms. Ross concurs that this property should not incur any more water than it does currently. Griffin outlines drainage calculations before and after proposed construction and how the water would get pushed towards Livingston Ave. Mr. Griffin explains where curbing would be located to push water in response to a question from Katie Harris, 32 Ashton Street. He also explained where roof runoff would go via gutters to the rain garden. He adds that some trees would be cut but not as many as originally proposed. Water would continue to go toward the intermittent stream. Lynn (last name unknown), 8 Porter Terrace, expressed concern about existing water on her property and more water being pushed toward Porter Terrace. Griffin explains how there should be improvements to the drainage conditions on her property. The 17 Porter Terrace resident describes how his backyard fills up with water and how it would get pushed towards house. Griffin responds about intent to push water towards the street. Ken St. Pierre, 16 Porter Terrace, describes how sewage at his property has backed up. Griffin notes that this is the first time he heard of sewage problems on Porter Terrace. This will be brought to the attention of the City's engineering department. Discussion addresses where a berm could be continued in front of some properties. Buchsbaum moves to close the hearing. Seconded by Squibb. The motion carries 6 -0. New: River Street and McPherson Drive within the Bass River - perform mechanical maintenance dred2in2 of the Bass River - City of Beverly c/o Michael P. Cahill, Mayor Conservation Commission May 29, 2019 Meeting Minutes Page 6of12 Maxner reads legal notice. The consultant representing the City speaks to proposal to perform mechanical maintenance dredging of the Bass River, and this NOI incorporates both Phase I and Phase II that were previously permitted under two separate Orders of Conditions. The Orders have lapsed so this is anew application for the same proposed project. All other approvals (i.e., Chapter 91) have been received. The City has a grant to fund Phase II of the project. He describes mitigation associated with the project (i.e., salt marsh improvement at Obear Park). Contamination removal work will not occur in the National Grid area in the river until that has been completed. The Army Corps of Engineers has tested material and deemed that it can be disposed of 10 miles off shore. Part of the plan at Obear Park at the culvert location is to do a study of salt marsh that would allow greater flushing and elimination of Phragmites. Department of Marine Fisheries approval would be sought for this project. No work was done under the previous Orders which will have to be closed out. Discussion ensued about the width of dredging area south and north of Bridge Street relative to commercial and recreational boat use. The last time the river was dredged was in 1955. A 10- year maintenance dredging program was mentioned as a recommendation. The goal is to do as much dredging as funding will allow. Discussion addresses the reason for the dredging motivated by groundings that occur for Bass Haven Yacht Club members as well as commercial users along the river. Work would be restricted for winter flounder and shellfish protection. The work window is October through February. The work to be done at the salt marsh at Obear Park will be separately permitted Bill (last name undiscernible), expressed concern about his commercial marine use of Bass River and maneuvering around dredging equipment. The contractor to be hired will work with commercial users to allow access in and out of the river. Jim Butler reiterated the need for moorings to be placed in the correct locations for large tide which occurs once a month. Desmond Boat Yard representative inquired about details of the project in consideration of his establishment's docking needs. The consultant responded to a question from neighbor about the expectation of 50 days of dredging to remove 50,000 cubic yards of material. Work schedules would be dictated by tides. A crane will be used and sometimes an excavator. Squibb moves to close the hearing. Seconded by Buchsbaum. The motion carries 6 -0. Reconvene the Regular Meeting Herbster moves to reconvene the regular meeting. Seconded by Pirrotta. The motion carries 6 -0. OLD/NEW /OTHER BUSINESS Cont: Beverly Airport — update on Airport Vegetation Management Program — Airport Solutions Group /Airport Manager The airport manager is reviewing the Commission's schedule to determine what upcoming meeting she could attend. Conservation Commission May 29, 2019 Meeting Minutes Page 7of12 New: 43 Haven Way, DEP File #5 -1193 — request for extension to Order of Conditions — Olaf Stellin2 The Order, issued in October 2016 governs demolition of the existing and reconstruction of a new garage, construct new sunroom off rear of existing house and realign and modify driveway layout and surfaces, install low- profile retaining wall, and other ancillary house renovations (windows, siding). Work to take place within 100 -foot buffer zone to top of coastal bank and 200 -foot Riverfront Area. Squibb moves to issue a 1 -year extension under the Wetlands Protection Act and Beverly's local Ordinance. Seconded by Herbster. The motion carries 6 -0. New: 43 Haven Way, DEP File #5 -1193 — request for minor modification to Order of Conditions — Olaf Stellin2 The project was analyzed and determined that there is no longer a need to remove garage. A small extension will be done behind the garage to accommodate two cars. Mitigation is proposed for 98 square feet in the 25' NDZ and a 4:1 offset will be done by reducing part of the driveway pavement. Roof runoff will be tied into an existing pipe. Pirrotta moves to approve a Minor Modification as presented. Seconded by Squibb. The motion carries 6 -0. New: 95 Sam Fonzo Drive, DEP File #5 -949 — request for extension to Order of Conditions — Scott Haenssler, The Coastal Group Daniel Simonelli representing the applicant speaks to request an extension to complete the project (remaining drainage) with no changes to plans or conditions, after discussions with consultant, FAA, and the Planning Board. The project was started in the fall and stopped due to winter conditions. A retaining wall with fabric is in place, the pond has been carved out, and remaining catch basins are being installed. Maxner notes that the site is stable, erosion control has been reinstalled, and wetland flagging is re- installed. The retaining wall that was required before any other work was started was installed and it serves well for erosion control. Work on the detention basin will require dewatering plan which will be provided to the Commission. Pirrotta moves to approve the extension to August 2, 2020. Seconded by Squibb. The motion carries 6 -0. New: 54 Oak Street and 142 & 150 Valley Street - request to modify Determination of Applicability — Sunfield Condominium Trust c/o Michael Milsom, Trustee Conservation Commission May 29, 2019 Meeting Minutes Page 8of12 Michael Milsom describes details about a request to remove trees that posed a danger to neighboring properties. He mentions interest in removing recent downfall of limbs and new cut wood. Maxner concurred. The arborist left some trees at varying heights. He adds that there is interest in reducing the size of some of these remaining cut trees. Work was done on more than 6 trees in response to concern from neighbors. Discussion was on what native species could be planted, as well as how handwork could be done for the remaining work. Discussion addresses how the fall would be a good time for work to occur when area isn't so wet. Buchsbaum moves to modify the Determination of Applicability. Seconded by Herbster. The motion carries 6 -0. New: 20,30 & 40 Webster Avenue, DEP File #5 -1237 — EO cart path restoration follow up discussion — PD Development Maxner reports on meeting with developer. The Commission notes that restoration of the cart path resembles a driveway versus cart path. Bob Griffin representing the applicant describes how processed gravel is what was put down, according to the approved plan. The developer could add soil and seed as well as rocks. Discussion addresses if access for the abutter would be allowed on a regular basis on the traveled cart path, and if crushed stone would be a better surface. The cart path is intended for pedestrian use. Maxner opined that the material used there is not appropriate and suggests it should be removed and shoulders rerolled. Griffin emphasizes that the cart path has always had a road base. Discussion ensues about how the path is compacted and if 5 to 6 feet width of material could remain with loamed shoulders. Also suggested was to remove the road base that was added. The Commissioners will independently visit the site. Herbster moves to delay the deadline of June 7, 2019 for final restoration, and continue to the June 11, 2019 meeting. Seconded by Squibb. The motion carries 6 -0. New: Expenditure Approvals Squibb moves to pay mileage reimbursement to Amy Maxner $41.85 for mileage reimbursement for the month of May 2019 while carrying out site visits and other Conservation Commission business. (93 miles x .45 cents = $41.85). Seconded by Buchsbaum. The motion carries 6 -0.
