— Stormwater Report; Prepared by: Hancock Associates; Stamped by: Brian G. Geaudreau, PE Civil No. 64495; Signed by: Unknown, 424366; Date: 11/29/2021; — WPA Form 3-Notice of Intent application; Prepared by: Hancock Associates; Prepared for: Lexington Housing Assistance Board, Inc.; Signed by: Unknown; Not dated; — Permit Site Plan Set; Locus: 116 Vine Street, Lexington, MA; Prepared by: Hancock Associates; Prepared for: LexHab; Date: 11/29/2021; Ms. Samuels stated that she has been advising the project team on native plantings and is recusing herself from the discussion and vote. Mr. Brian Geaudreau, Hancock Associates, and Mr. Kyle Cormier, Oxbow Associates,presented to the Commission. Questions and Comments from the Commission: — What is the offset of the building corner to the closest wetland flag? — Please confirm if the distance from the wetland to the building is based on the foundation or the roof line. — Would prefer a larger distance than 50-feet away to avoid any mistakes during construction that would put the roof line within 50-feet of the wetlands. — Request to see the test pit data for wetland flags A 1, A2 and A3. The area felt wet during the site visit and would like to have more information. — It seems odd to have the bike storage be a structure/building. — Can the building containing Units 1-4 be moved south to allow for more green space behind the building and move farther away from the 50-foot buffer? — The southernmost patio is proposed on a very steep slope — Bothered by the walkway connecting this parcel to the abutting conservation land. Can a sidewalk on the road be proposed instead? — Have geothermal or solar panels been considered at this property? Responses from the Representative: — The intent for the building is to remain outside the 50-foot"no-build" buffer zone, so the distance is equal to or greater than 50 feet away. The 50-foot buffer zone line on the site plan could be thick and gives off the appearance that the building setback is within the 50-foot zone. — There will be panels on the barn and perhaps some on the front house, but no canopies in the parking area are being proposed. — Will be providing a landscaping plan at the next meeting, with a focus on screening from abutters and a delineation between this site and the adjacent town-owned land. Ms. Dohan stated that, in the description of the proposed work, it mentions a short walk to the MBTA commuter rail station. Mr. Geaudreau responded that he was looking at an old map of the area and will revise the project description since there is not a commuter rail station nearby. Mr. Bitsko asked if an Operation & Maintenance Plan was submitted and who would be responsible for maintenance of the subsurface chambers. Mr. Geaudreau responded that the maintenance and annual inspections will be the responsibility of LexHAB or a third parry
