site visit continuation on second item
The 264 Center Street RDA hearing was continued after ConCom decided a site visit is needed to verify two small isolated vegetated wetlands. No decision yet on whether they fall below Danvers' 5,000 sq ft jurisdictional threshold. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/danvers/conservation-commission/2026-06-25/ #MeetingWatch #DanversMA

Danvers Conservation Commission voted 3-2 on June 25 to grant waivers letting construction enter both no-disturb and no-build wetland buffers at 267 Center Street. The applicant placed the ADU and driveway inside the protected zones. #MeetingWatch #DanversMA

Board members questioned whether the ADU could be moved to reduce buffer impacts. The applicant said this was 'as far as he wants to go.' Two members still voted against the waivers and order of conditions.

One commissioner said: 'It always bothers me when we approve something that is both in a no-build and a no-disturb.' The 3-2 split shows clear division on how far to allow intrusion into protected areas. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/danvers/conservation-commission/2026-06-25/

Longer-form draft.
At its June 25 meeting, the Danvers Conservation Commission approved by 3-2 votes waivers and an order of conditions for 267 Center Street that allow house and ADU construction inside both the 35-foot no-disturb and 50-foot no-build buffer zones around degraded wetlands. Board members expressed reluctance during deliberation, with one noting it always bothers them to approve work in both protected zones, yet the majority moved forward. The applicant had argued the current wetland swale is less valuable than other areas on site and rejected suggestions to relocate the ADU. The hearing for 264 Center Street was continued so the commission can conduct a site visit to verify the boundaries of two small isolated vegetated wetlands before deciding on jurisdiction. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/danvers/conservation-commission/2026-06-25/ #MeetingWatch #DanversMA
