REQUEST FOR DETERMINATION OF APPLICABILITY
New: 42 Dunham Road — Connolly Brothers, Inc.
Maxner reads legal notice. Attorney Michael Doucette of Glovsky and Glovsky, Steve Connolly
of Connolly Brothers, Doug Olsen of Harmonic Drive and Peter Ogren of Hayes Engineering are
present. Doucette addresses the Commission explaining the applicant proposes to construct a
driveway, retaining wall and curbing within the buffer zone to bordering vegetated wetland to
service a proposed industrial building for the company Harmonic Drive. This project is subject to
a settlement ORAD that established modified no disturb zones. The project will be within the
outer limits of the 100 -foot buffer zone but outside the modified no disturb zone to the "D Series
Wetland System ", which contains a certified Vernal Pool ( #3617).
Ogren explains that a single manufacturing structure will be constructed at the site which is on
the Cummings Center campus, and describes the 5 -acre site (exclusive use area) that is near the
top of the hill. A comprehensive stormwater plan has been reviewed by the Planning Board.
Grading will occur for the paving. No additional fill besides gravel already at the site for the
Conservation Commission

driveway will be brought to the site. A 4 -foot block retaining wall is proposed to make the grade
without going in the no disturb zone. There is a possibility that one oak tree may need to be
removed. Bertoni asks that vernal pool and 50 -foot No Build Zone be identified on the plan.
A partially constructed driveway will be finished. Discussion addresses whether the roadway
could be located outside of the 100 foot buffer zone. The applicant describes how an existing
main access roadway will be used for the construction vehicles. Ogren notes that wetland flags
are no longer at the site but one to two flags could be staked in preparation for a site walk.
Discussion was on how the applicant is nearing site plan approval from the Planning Board
relative to whether an NOI versus RDA should be required.
Squibb moves to schedule a site visit for 5 p.m. on Thursday, June 14, 2018. Seconded by Dines.

install kayak racks at Lynch, Dane and Pleasant View beaches /parks. They will be located so as
to not obstruct anyone's view of the water. Any excavated material will be removed off site. The
DPW will be doing the work including installing concrete footings.
Buchsbaum asks for a description on how racks will be installed. Suminsby explains there will
be two 14" concrete sonotube footings to support each rack structure which is the limit of ground
disturbance. Special conditions are discussed.

NOTICES OF INTENT /ABBREVIATED NOTICES OF INTENT/REQUESTS FOR
AMENDED ORDERS OF CONDITIONS
Cont: 17R Webber Avenue — Black Door Properties, LLC c/o Michael Panzero
Bob Griffin representing the applicant explains revisions made to the plan as the result of recent
Commission site walk and neighborhood feedback. He notes revisions include:
• Change building from 2- family to 1- family
• Reduce building footprint to incorporate deck and porch footprints
• Move building outside 50' No Build Zone
• Guest parking shall be pervious surface
• Remove drywell from 50' No Build Zone
He notes that work within the 25' No Disturb Zone will consist of removing the existing sheds,
managing and eradicating the Japanese knotweed, reseeding and replanting this zone with native
shrubs. Spot spraying or annual removal of knotweed would occur to maintain a knotweed -free
area.
Griffin notes that erosion control will include hay bales and silt fence. Construction sequence for
shed removal was provided on the revised plan. Discussion ensues about the importance for an
LSP to verify clean soils on site, and checking /exterminating rats in the two abandoned sheds.
Buchsbaum notes that the application of herbicide on the Knotweed needs to be accomplished by
a licensed applicator if not performed by the land owner.
Bertoni asks if there are any comments from the audience. Griffin responds to Michael Pirotta of
2 Webber Avenue that access would be from Wellman Street. Discussion addresses safety issues
although this does not fall under the Commission's jurisdiction. Harry Coffey, 3 Marshall Court,
speaks to pitch of site and his concern over runoff Griffin responds to intent to reduce the slope
slightly to slow down water flow, noting that there will be 50 feet of vegetation between house
and coastal bank that should help with infiltration as well.

New: 875 Hale Street, DEP File #5 -1038 — request to amend the Order of Conditions —
Montrose School Park, LLC
Maxner reads legal notice. Peter Ogren, Hayes Engineering, and Jeff Rhuda of Symes
Associates, representing the applicant. Orgren speaks to recently settled litigation and plans for a
cluster OSRD style development approved by the Planning Board. Details on an updated
stormwater report, plans revised to the OSRD layout, and the Order of Conditions issued in
August of 2010 were provided earlier to the Commission for their review. The amendment is
changing from a standard subdivision to cluster style development plan where pavement is
reduced and houses would be constructed farther away from wetland area and outside of 50 -foot
No Build Zone. Impervious areas will be infiltrated for 100 -year storm.
Rhuda states there will be the same number of houses in the cluster development. Discussion was
on how West Beach Lane is not a destination roadway it is primarily for residents and one
abutter. Also addressed was whether a conservation restriction would be pursued with the state,
with Rhuda explaining that notation refers to the open space parcel that will not be disturbed as
opposed to an official conservation restriction in the conventional sense.
Maxner reminds the Commission that the Order was subject to the state extension act and
another one -year extension was given last summer under the local Ordinance. The Order is due
to expire in August 2018 and one more year extension is possible under the local Ordinance.
Rhuda states he will be submitting for extensions shortly and plans to be completed with the
development in time for those extensions so as not to require a new NOI to finish the project.
Discussion addresses locating split rail fence behind the homes at rear lot line. For erosion
control, a silt fence will be accompanied by silt sock.

with Rhuda explaining that the extent of post and rail fence will follow the lot lines that envelope
the houses. In addition, in response to Lewis's concern about blasting, Rhuda states that abutters
and Conservation Agent will be notified if any blasting will occur in the buffer zone.
Bertoni asks if there are any other comments from the audience or Commission. There are none.

New: Standley Street Compost Center (16 Standley Street) — request to modify
Determination of Applicability — City of Beverly c/o Lisa Chandler, Staff Engineer
Staff Engineer, Lisa Chandler addresses the Commission and explains that a Negative #3
determination, issued by the Commission in April of 2016, governs the construction of a
landscape berm along the southwestern perimeter of the Standley Street Compost Facility used
for yard waste to provide screening for abutters. The berm is 27 feet wide, 95 feet long and top of
berm is at elevation 73. Berm was constructed within 100 -foot buffer zone to bordering
vegetated wetland within an existing disturbed area of the compost facility. Chandler explains the
modification request is proposing to extend the berm by 71 feet to the north to respond to abutter
complaints and provide additional screening and sound barriers. Shrubs will be planted along the
top of the berm. The facility generally operates during normal working hours.
Herbster moves to approve request to modify Determination of Applicability. Seconded by
Buchsbaum. The motion carries 5 -1 with Buchsbaum opposed.

least 4 inches of space between the bottom member of the fence and the ground surface to
allow for small wildlife movement.

Orders of Conditions
17R Webber Avenue, DEP #5 -1242 — Black Door Properties, LLC c/o Michael Panzero
Discussion ensues as to performance standards under the Act and local Ordinance. Bertoni notes
the applicant is requesting a waiver from the NDZ/NBZ under the Ordinance. She notes that the
activity proposed within the 25' NDZ and 50' NBZ involves removing all existing built
structures from both zones and restoring both to a more naturalized state which provides for
native plantings and restoration of riverfront and buffer zone. Buchsbaum notes that these
impacted conditions are currently within the NDZ/NBZ and therefore necessitates work therein.
Discussion ensues as to abutter and public input on the project. Discussion ensues as to possible
special conditions to best protect the resources and address wetland related concerns of the
