The Town of Danvers Conservation Commission on Jan. 8 continued a public hearing for 80 Water Street (DEP file 14-1433) to its next meeting on Jan. 22, 2026 after the applicant, Peter McKinnon, requested a continuance.
The Commission accepted minutes from its Dec. 11, 2025 meeting after a motion and second; the vote recorded multiple "Aye" responses and one abstention. Commissioners also discussed standardizing meeting minutes across boards, and staff member Jen was identified as working on a uniform format for planning, zoning and conservation minutes.
The Commission then moved into new business and voted to rotate the chair. Mary Haight was nominated and elected chair by voice vote; commissioners congratulated Haight and noted that letterhead will be updated.
The Commission adjourned and set its next meeting for Jan. 22, 2026, with two agenda items: the continued 80 Water Street hearing and a new Notice of Intent for 20 Chevrolet Ave.
