New: 38 Standley Street — review and affirm extent and character of delineated wetlands on
site — Waring School. Inc. c/o Leah McGavern
Maxner reads legal notice. John Dick representing the applicant explains the School is looking to
confirm wetland delineation at the headmaster parcel. He notes there is 600 linear feet of BVW
and 600 linear feet of Mean High Water to a perennial stream (which receives a 200 -foot
Riverfront Area) which was flagged for review.
Buchsbaum moves to continue the hearing until February 2, 2016 and a site visit was scheduled
for 8 a.m. on Saturday, January 9, 2016. Seconded by Squibb. The motion carries 6 -0.
New: 50 Dunham Road, DEP File #5 -1076 — request for an amended Order of Resource
Area Delineation pursuant to Massachusetts Appeals Court Remand Order as issued in
Docket No. 14 -P -45 — Cummings Properties, LLC c/o Stephen J. Drohosky
Maxner reads legal notice. Attorney Craig Ziady, Steve Drohosky, Dennis Clarke, and Steve
Ericksen are present representing the applicant. The Commission's special counsel Jeff Roelofs,
and City Solicitor Stephanie Williams are present for the Commission. Ziady addresses the
Commission and reviews the Appeals Court remand and revised plan pursuant to the
Commission's Order of Resource Area Delineation, which only relates to the local Ordinance
decision.
Ziady reviews the revised ORAD plan that shows modified No Disturb Areas based on
evaluation of habitat function and existing disturbed and developed areas on site. He explains
that the applicant recognizes the existence of vernal pools on the site. He notes that this plan
does not exempt the applicant from filing with the Commission for work within the buffer zone
but rather provides for some flexibility within already developed portions of the site.
Bertoni verifies that only the No Disturb Zones have been modified, but the full buffer zones
remain which still maintains the Commission's jurisdiction. Ziady confirms. Bertoni notes that
the previous ORAD was silent on the intermittent stream that runs between Wetland C and D, but
if a proposed project is ever proposed within the buffer to this stream that it would be subject to
determination at that time. Ziady confirms.
Bertoni asks Steve Ericksen to present his findings relative to vernal pool habitat evaluation.
Ericksen, explains he has been on site numerous times and observed the presumptive No Disturb
Zones, some of which are well developed. He notes his opinion that these areas do not provide
Conservation Commission
January 5, 2016 Meeting Minutes
Page 3 of 11
critical habitat values for the creatures utilizing vernal pools, and will likely be avoided by
migrating amphibians that would prefer the protective cover of the woodlands.
Buchsbaum notes that amphibians will cross pavement in their migratory routes. Ericksen notes
that the site does not have anyone working at night which would reduce roadkill.
Bertoni asks Ericksen to review the resources and vernal pools on site. Ericksen refers to the
plan, noting that bordering vegetated wetlands occur at Flag Series A, B, C and D. Pool # 1 is a
State Certified vernal pool #3617, Pool #2 is an uncertified vernal pool under the Ordinance,
Pool #3 is an uncertified vernal pool under the Ordinance, Pool #4 is a State Certified vernal pool
#2977, Pool #'s 5, 6 and 7 are on City of Beverly property, with #5 being State Certified #1438,
and Pool #8 is an uncertified vernal pool under the Ordinance. Maxner notes that the banks and
BVW to Norwood Pond were delineated and reviewed under the NOI for the new building at 52
Dunham Road.
Discussion ensues regarding final ORAD document that contains amendment language. Roeloffs
notes that the amended ORAD will contain the procedural history as well as how the amendment
was processed.
Bertoni asks if there are any questions from the audience. A resident of 16 Wellman Street
speaks to how bobcat was seen in the area during the night and wildlife still have access to the
pond.
There being no further questions or comments from the Commission or the public, Paluzzi
moves to close the hearing. Seconded by Buchsbaum. The motion carries 6 -0. Squibb moves to
issue the amended ORAD as presented with the final findings reflecting tonight's material and
discussion with special counsel. Seconded by Paluzzi. The motion carries 6 -0.
NOTICES OF INTENT /ABBREVIATED NOTICES OF INTENT/REQUEST FOR
AMENDED ORDERS OF CONDITIONS
Cont: 16 Bayview Avenue — Thomas Doherty
Bob Griffin representing the applicant speaks to proposal for a metal staircase, landings and
concrete steps for access to the beach from the property that will be supported by 12" sono tubes
to be installed a minimum of 4' below grade within the vegetated part of the coastal bank and
pinned to the existing ledge. A pier in Beverly Harbor is no longer being proposed. A small paver
patio area surrounded by fence will be at the top of the staircase. After the December 19, 2015
site walk no plan changes are proposed.
Discussion ensues about a surviving condition relative to maintenance and repair of the metal
structure and impact of storms. Substantial reconstruction would require further review by the
Commission (i.e. 50 %) to determine if a new NOI filing or minor modification is needed. Griffin
reports that any work below the mean high water line (last few steps) would require Chapter 91
permitting. In regard to the Army Corps of Engineers there is a threshold within 200' disturbance
of bank a pre - construction notification form describing the project would have to be submitted.
Conservation Commission
January 5, 2016 Meeting Minutes
Page 4 of 11
The staircase would be installed in sections using a crane on the property owner's land. Griffin
explains the construction of the terminal steps using holes drilled and reinforcing bars installed in
the ledge, forms in the shape of steps will create level surfaces using concrete (with additive for
salt resistance) transported in buckets from site. Discussion ensues about how the paver patio is
important to stability of stairs as well as how a 6" tree is proposed for removal.
Bertoni asks if there are any questions from the audience. A resident of 16 Wellman Street asks
about the type of concrete to be used. Griffin responds marine grade.
There being no further questions or comments from the Commission or public, Paluzzi moves to
close the hearing. Seconded by Grandoni. The motion carries 6 -0.
Cont: 16B Bayview Avenue — construct metal staircase with associated concrete landings
and pier supports to gain beach access — Doherty Bay View Realty Trust c/o Thomas &
Joanne Doherty
Bob Griffin representing the applicant describes proposal to install a second metal staircase,
concrete landings and steps within coastal bank, rocky intertidal shore, land containing shellfish
and land subject to coastal storm flowage (for performance standards on these resource areas,
please review State Regulations 310 CMR 10.29, 10.30, 10.3 1, and 10.34), and some limited
work within the 25 -foot NDZ. The staircase will be supported by rock outcrop with concrete
stairs placed in beach surface. There is less wave action in this area versus where the staircase is
proposed for 16 Bayview Avenue. A portion of a step will require Chapter 91 approval. No file
number has been received by DEP.
Bertoni asks if there are any questions from the audience. There are none.
Paluzzi moves to continue until the Commission's next meeting on February 2, 2016. Seconded
by Squibb. The motion carries 6 -0.
Cont: 35 Porter Street — install coastal bank stabilization and associated site landscaping
improvements — Max Corbett
Bob Griffin requests a continuation until the next meeting. Squibb moves to continue to February
2, 2016. Seconded by Paluzzi. The motion carries 6 -0.
Cont: 43 Brackenbury Lane — demolish and reconstruct single- family house with addition,
driveway and utilitimprovements, construct in- ground swimming pool — Scott Rouisse
Bob Griffin representing the applicant explains extensive proposed renovation including raising
foundation by one course of blocks, building and addition and pool with patio, driveway
reconfiguration at the site. He reviews the revisions to the plan. He responds to points raised by
the abutters Mr. & Mrs. Brusil's letter recently submitted.
He addresses how the stream is not shown on U.S.G.S. map, and watershed is well under a half
square mile, therefore the stream is considered intermittent. The location of the retaining wall is
Conservation Commission
January 5, 2016 Meeting Minutes
Page 5 of 11
proposed on the lawn and is not on the stream bank so it will not interfere with channel now
capacity. He explains no clearing of trees is proposed relative to retaining wall construction. He
explains that based on the Commission's recent site inspection, the plan was revised to show
removal of old rail road timbers and debris along the stream bank and regrading and planting this
section to abate current erosion.
In response to Donnelly's questions about constructing the house on piles, Griffin notes that piles
are cost prohibitive option, and preserving existing foundation and basement would result in least
impact along with slab proposed for addition. Griffin explains that construction can occur in
flood plain as long as openings in the basement allow flow of water in and out or raise the grade
of the property outside of the flood zone.
Discussion ensues on larger specimen trees that could be impacted near clearing and grading area
for the driveway. Griffin notes that the driveway retaining wall will not be in the No Disturb
Zone. The slope will be cleared by replanting is proposed, with an effort will be made to
preserve mature trees in the area. The proposed fencing is reviewed with Bertoni noting that she
would like to see it contract away from the resource areas. Griffin notes this fencing is for pool
safety while allowing the owner full use of their property.
Discussion ensues about series of questions submitted by the abutters Mr. and Mrs. Brusil. The
Commission asks Maxner to consult with the Brusil's as to their questions within the
Commission's jurisdiction. Paluzzi moves to continue the hearing to the February 2, 2016
meeting. Seconded by Squibb. The motion carries 6 -0.
New: 502 Cabot Street — construct new middle school and associated site improvements —
City of Beverly c/o Michael Collins Commissioner of Public Services & Engineering
Maxner reads legal notice. Engineer Mark Gabriel of PARE Corp. representing the applicant
describes how Commission approved an RDA for the demolition of the existing Memorial
Middle School which is occurring now, and NOI submission is for the construction of the new
middle school. The isolated vegetated wetland is delineated and previously reviewed by the
Commission. He describes that stormwater runoff currently sheets towards Balch Street and is
untreated. ;, He summarizes details about proposed drainage system for development and
redevelopment project. The general drainage layout of the site is stormwater sheet flow from
Cabot Street to Balch Street and is captured in detention systems to the northwest and south of
the !School. These systems capture runoff including from increased impervious surface proposed
to culvert under Balch Street. There will be a reduction of stormwater flow into the wetlands.''
Discussion ensues about how silty clay on the site is not conducive to infiltration. Existing sewer
and utility lines on Cabot Street will be used for the building.','
Lauren Hastings' of PARE Corp., explains the wetland impacts noting that two isolated', vegetated'
wetlands (IVW)'are on site. To offset filling of the smaller IVW, replication of 2`;1 includes
plantings (i.e., dogwood, azalea etc...), boulders, and woody' debris' for habitat. Discussion'
ensues about Phragmites growing in one section of wetland as well as monitoring and
maintenance to prevent encroachment into the replication area. Maxner notes that there will be
Conservation Commission
January 5, 2016 Meeting Minutes
Page 6 of 11
requirements for monitoring the replication area and reporting on planting survivorship per the
Beverly Wetlands Regulations. Hastings acknowledges the requirements.
Discussion addresses the waiver request and how the buffer zone is 'a distinct disturbed area
already maintained as lawn and parking on the site. Additional disturbed zones will be created as
part of construction. Alternative analysis considered the best location for the building to fit on the
site. Discussion was on small area of woods that has runoff to wetlands. The majority of the
sheet flow on the site goes to grassy field area and catch basins. Also, that 'a rain garden would
not be conducive at the site due to density of soils. An outdoor learning center is planned for the
site. The project has had peer review relative to engineering and thej City engineer is reviewing
drainage proposal.
Resident speaks to location of riverbed. Myron Hood, speaks to 17 acres of wetlands where the
School is going to be located, high water table and poor drainage at the site. He suggests that the
property should be surveyed, and mentions storrawater runoff in the area and waterline on the
School property as well as where the buses will be parked on the property. The percentage of
clay in the area does not allow water to flow. The new School will be built on 1,100 new pilings
rather than recycling existing piles. There will be an increase of 5 acres of impervious surface
with the new School and runoff will be captured and treated by the stormwater system. In
response to John S., 10 Hawthorn Place, Salem, Maxner explains that under the state and local
ordinance filling is allowed to a certain amount in conjunction with replication so there is no net
loss; the wetland is relocated. In response to resident expressing concern about any discharge
from buses at the proposed bus depot, the Commission describes how storm runoff is captured
and treated. Conversation is occurring about how to shield the buses from the surrounding area.
Discussion addresses possibility of increasing replication area without impacting 25' No Disturb
Zone. Snow will be managed at the site without stacking. No snow storage areas are identified on
the plan. A 6' high chain link fence has been installed around work area and erosion control on
25' No Disturb line. "No Disturb Zone" signage could be added at 25' No Disturb Zone.
Discussion ensues on amount of groundwater in area so plantings have an opportunity for
survivorship.
Paluzzi moves to close the hearing. Seconded by Donnelly. The motion carries 6-0.
New: 12-16 Congress Street (formerly 10-12 Congress Street). DEP File #5-947 — Beverl
Office Development, LLC c/o Attorney Thomas Alexander:
i. Request for amended Order of Conditions under MGL Chapter 131 Section 40
ii. Notice of Intent filed under Beverly Wetlands Protection Ordinance Article
XXXVII
Maxner reads legal notice. Charlie Wear, Meridian Associates, representing the applicant
explains that the previous Order from 2007 that it is still active, but due to expire under both the
Act and the Ordinance. He notes that the proposed project has been modified from 72 residential
units with parking underground to 62 units with surface parking and 144 spaces reduced to 93.
The original proposal had 70,245 square feet of impervious surface and that will be reduced to
67,930 square feet with the new plan. The rain garden still has capacity to serve the project and
Conservation Commission

the drainage has been kept the same and since there is less impervious surface to treat is probably
over designed. Wear notes the applicant has submitted a new NOI requesting a new Order of
Conditions under the local Ordinance and an amendment and extension to the Order of
Conditions under the Wetlands Protection Act. He notes that the proposed rip rap revetment has
not been changed due to the modified plan.
Commission members review the plan and discussion ensues on the two tops of bank reflected in
design, and 100-year flood plain where buildings and parking will be located above. The
applicant has a Chapter 91 license for the project. The City Engineer will review the drainage
plan. Discussion addresses how catch basins in area of public way could be cleaned out working
with the City.
There being no further questions from the Commission and none from the audience, Donnelly
moves to close the hearing. Seconded by Buchsbaum. The motion carries 6-0.

School c/o Atty. Tom Harrington
Squibb moves to continue to the February 2, 2016 meeting. Seconded by Paluzzi. The motion
carries 6-0.
Cont: Rices Beach Enforcement Order — unauthorized dune removal — William Mead
John Dick and Willaim Mead are present. Dick speaks to his letter describing plan that indicates
grades have not changed. A bobcat was used to remove woody vegetation in the area which will
be restored naturally at the site. He notes there are root crowns at the surface. The
recommendation is to plant dune grass (90,000 square feet possibly in March). Maxnerj reviews
her consult with DEP that recommended thin slat fencing be installed and left to assist in sand
accretion, and that path in right of way should have a zig zag component if possible. Discussion
ensues as to existing path that probably cannot be altered due to ROW issues. Dick states that no
new path is proposed within the dune to the houses. Discussion ensues on how signage and posts
could be installed to denote and protect dune restoration area. Any other proposal to do work in
the area would require an NOI application. The area will be monitored by wetland scientist with
report provided annually for three years depending upon success of planting.
Donnelly, moves to amend the Enforcement Order to encapsulate approval of the plan with
conditions that were agreeable. Seconded by Paluzzi. The motion carries 6-0.
