CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE
Cont: 73 Cross Lane, DEP File #5 -1056 — Donald Benoit
Maxner notes the Order governed the construction of a two -car attached garage, installation of
bituminous concrete driveway; construction deck and a connecting walkway at rear of the house. A
subsurface infiltration was also proposed to capture and infiltrate roof runoff from the new garage;
this along with some grading did fall within the 25' NDZ, but allowed under the Order. The
applicant notes, per Special Condition #1 that required replacement trees for removal of the 36"
oak, that this tree was preserved. The applicant is requesting a waiver from the as -built plan and
engineer certification. She notes the main non - compliant aspect of the project is the new driveway,
which is 26 feet wide where the plan showed only 14 feet width.
The Commission voted to table this item in favor of inviting Mr. Benoit to this meeting to explain
the change in the driveway width, however Mr. Benoit is not present at the moment. The
Commission agrees to table this until Mr. Benoit shows up.
New: 675 -C Hale Street, DEP File #5 -1077 — Joseph Alsop, c/o The Neve -Morin Group
Maxner explains the Order, issued in March of 2012, governed the installation of a gas line service
within existing old wood road right of way, within 200 -Foot Riverfront Area and 100 -Foot
Buffer Zone to Bordering Vegetated Wetland. She conducted a final site inspection yesterday with
the site contractor and all areas of excavation have been backfilled, seeded and hayed as required by
the Order. She notes that the seed has already sprouted and areas are stable. She did not see any
issue of concern and recommends the issuance of a Certificate of Compliance.

0.
REQUEST FOR DETERMINATION OF APPLICABILITY
New: 15 Branch Lane — Jonathan Wallace
Maxner reads the legal notice. The applicant, Jonathan Wallace, states he is proposing to install an
in- ground pool and associated patio a majority of which would be within the outer 50 feet of the
100' BZ to BVW. A majority of the work will take place within lawn area. He explains that on the
plan, the darker green shaded areas depict construction equipment access and areas of anticipated
disturbance /building envelope. He explains that there is a topographic divide that corresponds
roughly with the proposed hay bales, including some ledge outcroppings that provide a nice
separation between the wetland and the work. Members review photos of the site provided by
Maxner. She notes that she has visited the site and checked the wetland line, which is clear at a
sharp break in slope and edge of ledge.
Paluzzi asks the type of materials that will be used for the pool patio. Wallace notes that he
anticipates using large blue stone or similar material with spaces for grass to grow in between.
Paluzzi notes that this will be pervious to allow infiltration, which is preferred. Wallace confirms
that it will be pervious.
Bertoni asks where equipment will access the site. Wallace notes that it will be off of the end of the
driveway and this area will have hay bales on the wetland side. Bertoni asks how pool discharge
will be handled. Lang notes that dry wells are preferred for directing backwash and winter draw
down, and not directed to the wetland and out of the buffer zone if possible. Wallace states that he
can install a dry well if need be.
Discussion ensues as to tree removal and proposed landscaping and the removal of 8 trees. Wallace
notes that landscaping has not been fully planned yet, but there will be some along the edges of the
pool. Discussion ensues as to potential for blasting, with Wallace noting that when the house was
build the area for the pool seems fairly free of shallow ledge and he wants to avoid blasting if at all
possible.
There being no further questions, Buchsbaum moves to issue a Negative # 3 Determination with the
following conditions:
1. As a condition of approval and as agreed to by the applicant at the October 23, 2012
Conservation Commission meeting, a dry well of sufficient capacity shall be installed to
capture pool water back wash and winter draw down. Pool water discharge of any kind is
prohibited within the wetland and associated 100 -Foot Buffer Zone.
2. Prior to any work commencing, the erosion controls shall be installed for inspection by the
Conservation Administrator.
3. As a condition of approval and as described by the applicant at the October 23, 2012
meeting, the proposed patio will be pervious to allow infiltration of runoff, rainwater and
snow melt.

4. Should blasting become necessary, the applicant shall come back to the Commission to
describe proposed work and provide the Commission with the opportunity to review and
condition said work as necessary to protect the wetland resource areas.
5. Any changes in the proposed plan shall be reviewed with the Conservation Administrator
prior to implementation in the field.
6. After construction is completed, all areas of disturbed soils shall be stabilized with
vegetation and returned to its original condition prior to removal of erosion controls. The
Conservation Administrator shall approve removal of erosion controls.
Seconded by Paluzzi. The motion carries 6 -0.
Notices of Intent
Cont: 43 Water Street — install steel sheet pile bulkhead, fill land under ocean, install travel
lift and floating docks — Beverly Port Marina
Maxner notes the Commission will recall the applicant proposes to install a steel sheet pile wall
seaward of the current bulkhead and fill and pave over about 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). A majority of the Commission conducted a
site inspection back in April. She introduces Chris Morris and Ted Pickering from Apex, the
Commission's peer review consultants, and they will field questions. Maxner reads from Apex's
report dated October 9, 2012.
In response to Lang, Morris explains that the ENF submission to MEPA is designed to coordinate
all environmental and development review and permitting processes of MA, which includes ACOE,
401 Water Quality, and Chapter 91. He notes this is where mitigation for resource impacts is
explored and established. Pickering states their report recommends that the applicant first file with
MEPA because all of the information that the Commission needs will be part of the ENF,
information that would need to be provided eventually. In response to Lang, Morris explains that
the NOI application does not contain sufficient information for the Commission to make an
informed decision, including lack of a thorough alternatives analysis.
Jon Silver, BPM's representative, states that they are in the midst of preparing to the ENF and will
be submitting that shortly. He notes that as a DPA, filing of LUO is allowable and it is further
supported by the 1880 land grant that showed fill in the area. He also explains that public access on
the site is part of the mitigation package.
Maxner asks for their opinion on the stormwater proposal. Pickering explains that the stormwater
proposal is compliant with the regulations noting that it does appear that the Stormceptor unit is
properly sized for it application. Maxner asks clarification on the DPA designation. Morris
explains that DPA are essentially very industrial working waterfront areas that are provided relief
from strict compliance with the wetlands regulations due to their very industrial nature.
Buchsbaum asks a clarifying question relative to Apex's suggestion of pile supported structures.
Pickering states that pile would not result in permanent loss of resource area and may give new sites
Beverly Conservation Commission
October 23, 2012 Meeting Minutes

for marine habitat. Silver notes that piles are not the best alternative, as they would still leave the
gas tanks vulnerable to large storm events. Discussion ensues as to current spill prevention controls
on site.
Silver asks that hearing be continued in anticipation of working with MEPA. Discussion ensues, all
parties agree to a continuance to the December 11, 2012 meeting.
There being no further questions from the Commission or public, Paluzzi moves to continue the
hearing as discussed. Seconded by Squibb. The motion carries 6 -0.
Cont: 675E Hale Street — owner: Hilary & Christopher Gabrieli, c/o Laura Gibson
John Dick, Hancock Associates, explains the applicant is proposing to perform maintenance work
on the boulder rip -rap revetment to reposition boulders as they have been dislodged and strewn into
the beach area from winter beach erosion and recent storm activity, noting that the boulders
constitute the coastal bank resource area that abuts a landward coastal dune. He states the
Commission conducted a site inspection this past Saturday October 20 He notes the applicant is
seeking a perpetual condition that allows for future maintenance of this revetment without being
required to file a new NOI every time maintenance is needed.
Discussion ensues as to ways of allowing the work without a full NOI. Maxner notes that she was
not able to obtain any real examples of perpetual conditions from other towns, but reminds the
Commission that the Order is valid for a maximum of 5 years with extensions, and work can take
place as long as the Order is open and valid. Dick notes that they were looking for a longer term
than the life of the Order, and notes that perhaps only requiring an RDA could be a good
compromise. Bertoni states that she would not be comfortable attaching that to the property, but
rather allowing the current owner to receive that benefit would be a better approach. Members
agree.
There being no further questions or comments from the Commission or the public, Paluzzi moves to
close the hearing. Seconded by Squibb. The motion carries 6 -0.
Cont: 68 Paine Avenue — Christopher Velonis
Chris Velonis, the applicant, reiterates he is proposing to perform maintenance work on the boulder
rip -rap revetment to reposition boulders as they have been dislodged and strewn into the beach area
from winter beach erosion and recent storm activity. He notes that the Commission also viewed his
property at the October 20 site visit. The boulders are located within coastal beach and constitutes
a part of the coastal bank resource area, and the bank also consists of vertical concrete seawall. He
explains that like the Gabrieli's, he is seeking a perpetual condition that allows for future
maintenance of this revetment without being required to file a new NOI every time maintenance is
needed. Discussion ensues as to allowing an RDA to suffice for future maintenance.
Lang asks the horizontal extent of the tow of the rip -rap. John Dick notes that it is approximately
13 feet, plus or minus, from the bottom of the concrete seawall.

There being no further questions from the Commission or the public, Paluzzi moves to close the
hearing. Seconded by Squibb. The motion carries 6 -0.
New: Cabot StreetNeteran's Memorial Bridge — Mass. DOT c/o Susan McArthur
Maxner reads the legal notice.
Frank Astone and Meredith de Carbonnel from Jacobs Engineering are present for the applicant
Mass. DOT. Astone explains that DOT is proposing to construct a waterfront walkway that was a
mitigation requirement of the Chapter 91 license governing the Salem/Beverly bridge improvement
project. He notes that work will take place within a portion of the rip -rap coastal bank, 200 -Foot
Riverfront to the Danvers River, 100 -Foot BZ to the bank. He explains that the walkway will be
partially cantilevered over the existing sheet pile cofferdam running underneath the bridge. He
explains details on the proposed plans and cross sections.
Lang asks if scaffolding will be necessary. De Carbonnel explains that if the sidewalk is not
brought in by pre -cast concrete sections, scaffolding will be necessary to pour the form and that will
result in a maximum of 500 square feet of temporary impact to land under ocean. Discussion
ensues as to conditions of the resource areas, with Astone noting that Mass. DOT projects are
exempt from local wetland regulations, therefore their narrative does not directly address work
within the 25' NDZ, which currently consist of paved parking and grass strips, and the coastal bank
is rip -rap revetment.
Lang asks if there are any questions from the public. Don Neuman of the Harbor Management
Authority asks of the time of year that this work will be taking place as coordination with the
commercial marine activities is needed, which starts next month and ends in April. Astone estimates
that they will be probably working during the early spring and summer, so that timing should work
out. He notes, as the design engineer, he anticipates being on site at least once a month during
construction.
There being no further questions or comments from the Commission or the public, Paluzzi moves to
close the hearing. Seconded by Squibb. The motion carries 6 -0.
New: 1 -3 Cailin Road — Cabot Beverly, LLC; Cailin, LLC c/o Stanley Bialek
Maxner reads the legal notice.
Stanley Bialek owner and applicant, Scott Patrowicz project engineer, Curt Young and William
Manuell project wetland scientists, Philip Lake project counsel are present for the project.
Manuell introduces the project, a 2 megawatt solar array farm, consisting of 8,000 solar panels,
associated transformer infrastructure, gravel maintenance road and LID stormwater management
features. He reviews the wetland flag series on site explaining the character of each wetland area,
noting that the site has been highly impacted and extremely manipulated which has in turn
introduced very aggressive populations of invasive species that have degraded the ecology of the
site. He notes that the site lends itself to a solar farm due to its great southern facing slopes, and
Beverly Conservation Commission
October 23, 2012 Meeting Minutes
Page 6 of 12
notes this passive use is beneficial for a property within the watershed to Wenham Lake.
Manuell goes on to explain installation of the solar panels involving a truck mounted screw /auger to
insert the cylindrical footings. He explains that in order to achieve the maximum solar exposure,
clearing and pruning of trees must take place within some wetland areas and within the associated
25' NDZ, noting that the applicant has chosen to use the highest efficiency panel with a tighter
array layout to minimize wetland and buffer zone impacts to the greatest extent practicable.
Mowing of the grasses (an Ernst native seed mix specifically designed for solar farm conditions)
under and around the panels would take place twice a year, and panels cleaned once a year. He
explains the alternatives analysis that has been thoughtfully explored and documented in the NOI
narrative. He briefly explains the attributes of each solar corridor and cutting and pruning regime in
each. He reviews the proposed stormwater management system consisting of LID BMP's
consisting of drainage swales, sediment basins and rain gardens arranged in sequence to capture,
attenuate and treat overland flows.
Grant arrives.
Curt Young explains the current wetland functions and conditions in relation to the potential
impacts of proposed cutting and pruning, noting that change or negative impacts to the current
conditions is not expected from the work as detailed in the Solar Corridor Cutting and Maintenance
Program submitted with the NOI. He states that essentially the wetland will convert from a forested
wetland to a scrub shrub wetland with invasive specie management, enhancement to plant diversity
by native plantings and introduction of wildlife habitat features. He provides an overview of
proposed cutting and pruning regimes in each of the wetland areas and solar corridors, noting that
his firm has worked extensively with golf course view corridors that deal with the same principles
as solar corridors.
The consultants field questions from the Commission. Lang asks if they know whether ledge is on
site and would interfere with the proposed drainage swales. Patrowicz states that he suspects not,
but there are areas that have perched water table, noting that the natural grade of the landscape will
facilitate function of the swales. Squibb asks if they are water quality treatment swales. Patrowicz
responds that for the most part they are transport swales.
Lang states that a site visit is needed, members agree. Lang asks if there are any questions or
comments from the public.
Dave Phippin of 801 Cabot Street asks the size of the proposed buildings. Bialek explains that the
only structures will be the transformers and they will not be large.
A resident of 7 Enon Road in Wenham asks about illumination and site grading. Patrowicz states
that there will be no major grading on site and very little lighting only to illuminate the transformers
and associated infrastructure.

There being not further questions or comments from the Commission or the public, Paluzzi moves
to continue the hearing to the November 13, 2012 meeting pending a site visit scheduled for
Saturday November 3, 2012 at 8:00 a.m. Seconded by Buchsbuam. The motion carries 7 -0.
Abbreviated Notice of Resource Area Delineation
Cont: Endicott College Northeast Campus Area — Endicott College c/o Dennis Monaco
Maxner states the Commission has received a request for a continuance from the applicant to April
2013 meeting which will allow the Commission's peer review consultant and the College's
consultant to perform spring -time investigations for vernal pool habitat. She notes that the College
is therefore amenable to the Commission securing a peer review. Maxner states she will put out a
request for cost estimates to at least three consultants and get that secured sooner than later.
Paluzzi moves to continue the hearing to the April 2013 meeting. Seconded by Buchsbaum. The
motion caries 7 -0.
Cont: 441 Hale Street — Helen Greiner c/o William Manuell, Wetlands & Land Management
William Manuell of Wetlands & Land Management and Lolly Gibson, landscape architect, are
present for the applicant. Manuell notes that the Commission is asked to review, verify and affirm
wetland resource areas as delineated on site and conducted a thorough site visit this past Saturday
October 20 He explains that the applicant anticipates submitting a Notice of Intent in a few
months for a comprehensive site work plan, however, that would most likely be during the winter
with snow cover when wetland resources are not as easily identified. He notes this ANRAD is a
way to verify wetland resources during the appropriate season and to allow the Commission to
become familiar with the site in advance of the NOI application. He reviews the wetland resource
areas and their flagging on site. He notes that the plan was revised to reflect a change in the
location of MHW and corresponding extent of the 200 -Foot Riverfront Area as the Commission
performed a closer inspection of bankful characteristics to get a more accurate delineation of this
resource. Discussion ensues as to the Commission's findings while on the site visit. Lang notes
that he is comfortable with the changes made to the flagging, as most of the property is under the
Commission's jurisdiction. Squibb asks a clarifying question relative to the pond and its original
stone perimeter. Gibson notes that there is no way to locate that stone perimeter until the
phragmites are removed and they do intend to fully survey that stone perimeter once it is exposed.
Lang asks if there are any questions from the public. There are none.
There being no further questions or comments from the Commission, Paluzzi moves to approved
the ANRAD delineation as revised on the site plan submitted this evening. Seconded by Bertoni.
The motion carries 7 -0.
OLD/NEW BUSINESS
Cont: 7 Tall Tree Drive, DEP File #5 -1068 — Jonathon & Vicky DeSimone
Beverly Conservation Commission
October 23, 2012 Meeting Minutes
Page 8 of 12
Maxner notes the applicants are proposing to install landscape lighting, and in reviewing the
proposal at the last meeting, it was determined that a few of the lights and associated wiring would
fall within the 25' NDZ. She notes the Commission discussed the 25' NDZ waiver protocol with
the landscape contractor Tony Hurley, the Commission agreed to continue this item to allow the
landscape contractor and Maxner to visit the site and identify areas that would benefit from
mitigation plantings. Maxner notes that she spent about 45 minutes on site with Mr. Hurley, and
she chose an area of eroding lawn along the driveway, which is next to a BVW surrounding a vernal
pool. She refers the Commission to site photos and plant schedule as provided by Hurley for more
details. Maxner states her belief that this is appropriate and compensatory mitigation for allowing
incursion into the NDZ with landscape wiring and light wells. Members review the material. Lang
states that this looks to be at least a 2:1 ratio of mitigation and agrees that it is important to address
the erosion next to the BVW and vernal pool. Members agree.
Paluzzi moves to approve the Minor Modification with the proposed planting schedule as required
mitigation. Seconded by Bertoni. The motion carries 7 -0.
Cont: 11 Cole Street, Enforcement Order — Brian Deeley
Maxner notes the Commission will recall issuing an Enforcement Order to Mr. Deeley for an
unauthorized chicken coop and play structure and ordered the following immediate corrective
actions:
➢ Immediately cease and desist from any further activity within the 25 -Foot No Disturbance
Zone (25' NDZ) (The 25' NDZ is measured from the edge of the wetland landward, and
constitutes the first 25 feet of the 100 -Foot Buffer Zone);
➢ Remove both the chicken coop and play structure to a location completely outside the 25'
NDZ no later than 12:00 noon on Tuesday October 23, 2012, at which time the Conservation
Administrator shall conduct a site inspection to verify proper removal;
➢ Appear before the Conservation Commission at its evening meeting on Tuesday, October
23, 2012, to receive further instructions as to additional corrective actions you must take to
come into compliance with the Act and the Ordinance.
Mr. and Mrs. Deeley are present. Maxner notes that she conducted a site visit this afternoon and
observed that the coop had been relocated to the southwest rear corner of the house against the deck
and is now 28 feet from the wetland. The area where the coop sat has been loamed and seeded and
protected with hay bales. She notes that the play structure has not been moved from the 25' NDZ,
and remains in its original location. Lang states that these structures required prior review by the
Commission and expected the Deeley's to know that since they have been before the Commission
in the past.
Squibb asks if the play structure has a foundation. Maxner explains that it has an open bottom
sitting on the ground, with just the perimeter of the play structure bottom supports touching the
ground. Brian Deeley states that he hopes the Commission will allow the play structure to stay
where it is as it is a temporary structure for his kids to play on and there wasn't any real ground
disturbance resulting from its installation. Lang notes that his biggest concern was the chicken coop
Beverly Conservation Commission
October 23, 2012 Meeting Minutes
Page 9 of 12
located so close to the wetland edge and he does not have a big issue with the play structure.
Maxner notes her concern about management of chicken manure on site with the wetland so close.
Deeley notes that he plans to compost it on site or take it away should there be too much in excess.
Maxner asks if the Commission is comfortable with allowing the structures to remain on site as
currently configured without a formal application and perhaps by way of a letter permit.
Buchsbaum notes that responsible management of manure must be a condition of allowing the coop
to remain. Members agree. There being no further questions or discussion, Paluzzi moves to allow
the structures to remain subject to the following conditions:
➢ The chicken coop may remain on site at its new location adjacent to the deck and 28 feet
from the wetland;
➢ Chicken manure shall be responsibly managed by either properly containing it on site for
composting or routine removal from site;
➢ Dumping or spreading of manure within the wetland or buffer zone is prohibited;
➢ Considering its temporary nature, and its limited impact to the ground surface, the play
structure may remain in its current location.
Seconded by Buchsbaum. The motion carries 7 -0.
26 Cliff Street — Removal of Collapsed Garage and Foundation
Maxner states that Jon Fredericksen and Shawna Farnsworth are here this evening following up on a
site visit the Commission made to their property this past Saturday. She notes that the Commission
will recall the outer foundation wall of garage had collapsed and slid down the embankment to the
river. Considering that the garage has been constructed on top of and into the embankment and
poses an immediate hazard, this is an emergency action situation. Mr. Fredericksen explains that he
has consulted with his contractor who thought that keeping the roof of the garage in tact would
better protect the garage floor and the fill that is underneath from weather and erosion. He notes
that the contractor thought that drilling sections of the floor and fallen foundation wall is a
possibility as discussed by the Commission during the site visit. Discussion ensues as to expected
equipment on site and methods of removing the materials from site.
Lang notes that he believes this should move forward as soon as possible as long as Maxner is kept
informed during each phase of work. Members agree. Squibb notes that once the fallen wall and
garage floor is removed they will have a better idea as to future possibilities for a new garage or
shed. Fredericksen states that they do not anticipate building a new garage, but a storage shed
might be what they decide on. Members agree that the immediate work to abate the safety hazard
can move forward with out a formal application, but long -term plans will need to be formally
reviewed. Fredericksen thanks the Commission and states that he will keep Maxner informed as
they progress.
New: 10 Fitzgerald Way — Anthony & Patricia Dipaolo
Maxner explains that a couple months ago, while conducting a site inspection at 17 Columbia
Avenue and on adjacent Conservation Commission owned land, she and Chairman Lang observed
Beverly Conservation Commission
October 23, 2012 Meeting Minutes
Page 10 of 12
piles of yard debris and grass clippings dumped within the wetland and buffer zone located on the
Commission property. It was clear that this pile of waste had originated from 10 Fitzgerald Way.
She has written the Dipaolo's directing them to remove the yard waste pile in time for her
inspection on October 23r She conducted a site visit scheduled with Mr. Dipaolo on Monday
October 22" as he has already complied with my directives. She notes that the area has been
cleared entirely of yard waste and is back to the original ground surface. She is happy to report that
the Dipaolo's have responded in a timely manner and they now understand the Commission's
jurisdiction.
116 West Street, DEP File #5 -848 — Daniel Carnevale
Maxner notes that an as -built survey is in the process of being done so that site conditions can be
determined and an appropriate location for the shed can be identified. She notes that Griffin
Engineering has been engaged to do this survey work, but needed more time to get this completed
and asked that it be continued to the November 13 meeting in the hopes of having it then.
Discussion ensues as to how long an as -built could take. Members agree this should be a priority
and discuss a deadline.
Paluzzi moves to issue an enforcement order requiring that an as built be prepared in time for the
November 13 meeting. Seconded by Buchsbaum. The motion carries 7 -0.
New: Minor Proiect Permits Issued by Administrator
Maxner notes she has not issued any Minor Permits since the last meeting.
New: Expenditure Approvals
Paluzzi moves to approve expenditure of $1,000.00 payable to Jeffrey Roelofs, the Commission's
special council relative to the 50 Dunham Road ANRAD appeal, for his services rendered to date.
Seconded by Grant. The motion carries 7 -0.
Approval of Minutes
Buchsbaum moves to approve the minutes from the July 31, 2012 meeting as amended. Seconded
by Paluzzi. The motion carries 6 -0 -1 (6 in favor, none opposed and Lang in abstention).
Paluzzi moves to approve the minutes from the August 21, 2012 meeting as amended. Seconded by
Grant. The motion carries 5 -0 -2 (5 in favor, none opposed, Buchsbaum and Squibb in abstention).
