A significant portion of the meeting focused on the compliance issues related to snow storage at the Cherry Hill Drive project, where AB Med had expanded a parking lot and installed a pedestrian bridge. The project was deemed substantially compliant with the order of conditions, but the Commission raised concerns about improper snow storage practices. It was noted that snow had been stored in areas clearly marked as restricted zones, potentially affecting the wetlands. AB Med representatives acknowledged the issue, attributing it to previous contractors ignoring posted signage. They assured the Commission that the problem was resolved by hiring McCarthy Landscaping, who is now responsible for snow removal and is aware of the designated storage zones. The Commission emphasized the importance of adhering to environmental safeguards to prevent contaminants like salt from entering the wetlands.

The certificate of compliance for the 191 Old Burley Street project, involving the Beverly Regional Airport, was also approved. This project replaced portions of the airport’s perimeter fencing, some of which lay within Danvers jurisdiction. The project team confirmed the removal of old concrete footings and the restoration of disturbed areas, satisfying the Commission’s conditions. The work, completed in a short six-week period, involved careful measures to protect wetlands during construction, such as using temporary timber pathways for heavy equipment.
