First, the 86 Elliott Street project (DEP -1436) is on hold. The Commission decided they don't have enough information and need further clarification from the DEP before they can act. This has been continued to May 14, 2026.
Regarding enforcement: The Commission provided an update on 35 Doty Avenue. An enforcement order is in place, and the applicant has until June 6th to complete required work, including removing a sports court and planting shrubs.

Danvers Conservation Commission Meeting Update: April 23, 2026 During the April 23 meeting, the Conservation Commission addressed several ongoing land-use and enforcement matters. Regarding the Notice of Intent for 86 Elliott Street (DEP file -1436), the Commission determined that the current information provided was insufficient to make an informed decision. They have requested further clarification from the DEP and have continued the matter until May 14, 2026, to allow for a more thorough review.

An enforcement order is currently active, requiring the applicant to complete specific work—including the removal of a sports court and the planting of shrubs—by June 6th.
