Owner/applicant: Town of Lexington <br /> Project: New school building and associated site work <br /> Fred King- Schofield Brothers, Rick Rice- DiNisco Design, Bill Brown- Landscape architect <br /> Mr. King stated that the site in question is a 8.4 acre piece of land next to the community center. <br /> There is currently an existing school on site. On the site there is an existing catch basin which <br /> serves the community center and it will not be disturbed. There is a wooded swamp on site with <br /> a vernal pool although it has not been certified yet. The proposed project will be outside the <br /> 100ft.buffer to the vernal pool, but portions of the project will be within the 100 ft. buffer to <br /> wetlands. There will be a reduction in impervious surface. The entire project will meet the <br /> stormwater by law. The fire and police departments are requiring that the applicant add a road <br /> around the school and playground area. Mr. King added that there is an 18inch drain line that <br /> runs through the property from the abutting property. This line drains to the wetlands. <br /> Mr. Hamilton entered the engineering report into the record. <br /> Mr. Hamilton entered the interdepartmental review comments into the record. <br /> Questions and comments from the commission: <br /> The commission stated that they are uncomfortable with approving the project without reviewing <br /> the vernal pool. They decided to do a site visit once there is less snow to visit the site. <br /> The commission stated that they would like to see the town put an easement over the drain line <br /> so that the abutting property can clean it when needed. The commission stated that they are <br /> concerned that this line is draining directly to the wetlands. <br /> The commission asked for clarification regarding grading on the site. <br /> The commission asked the applicant to provide more details on the rubber surface in the <br /> playground because it is being treated as pervious. <br /> The commission stated that they are concerned about encroachment in the vernal pool area. <br /> Motion to continue the hearing to 1/22/18 at the applicant's request made by Mr. Beuttell and <br /> seconded by Ms. Ladd. Vote: 6-0 in favor. <br /> 7:58pm <br /> Insignificant plan change:19 Bellflower St <br /> John and Justine Neely, 19 Bellflower Street <br />
