MINUTES — LEXINGTON CONSERVATION COMMMISSION MEETING June 12, 2007 Ms. McLaughlin presented a plan to alter the landscaping adjacent to the brook along the rear of her property. The plan included removing two ash trees, a number of Norway Maple trees and lawn grass within eighteen feet of the banks of the brook. Ms McLaughlin proposed replacing the trees and lawn grass with native, noninvasive trees and plants. At the Commission's request during the site visit, she prepared a second plan and submitted it at tonight's meeting that provided a greater amount of detail regarding measurements and number and location of trees to be removed. Ms. Miller commented that there was some debris from abutting properties in the brook that should be removed. Commissioners agreed that the plan to remove invasive species and lawn grass within the wetland buffer was a significant benefit to the wetlands. They also complimented Ms. McLaughlin for providing such complete and detailed plans and will refer future applicants to her filing to use as an example when they propose this type of project.
