Selectman Barry Greenfield said last week that he saw the pile and it was immense, likening it, with overstatement, to a Pyramid of Giza.
Earlier this year, the owner of the property came before the Conservation Commission for approval to construct a pool within 100 feet of the coastal bank.
Salem engineer Scott Patrowicz represented the property owner, Thomas Kostinden.
The previous home at 60 Tupelo, a tile-roofed mansion built in 1920, was demolished.
The property is .85 of an acre.
