5 <br /> DET 19-2 <br /> RDA, 251 Waltham Street <br /> Applicant: Town of Lexington <br /> Project: Proposed renovations at the Lexington Center Playfields Track and Field <br /> Ms. Megan Buczynski presented before the Commission. Ms. Buczynski stated that they are <br /> proposing renovations to the Lexington Center Playfields Track and Field. This will include <br /> removing the current track and the enclosed area and replacing it with a new track and enclosed <br /> area. They will be increasing the impervious surface. To meet stormwater standards they will be <br /> installing a new drainage system. Ms. Buczynski stated that they did not include a walkway on <br /> the proposed plan into their calculations. <br /> Ms. Buczynski stated that they will submit new drainage calculations. <br /> Mr. Langseth asked what materials the center playfield will be constructed of. <br /> Ms. Buczynski stated that they are still deciding to either put a natural grass hybrid turf or a <br /> synthetic turf with stone underneath. <br /> Mr. Langseth voiced his concern regarding the nature of the stone that could be used and the <br /> correlating drainage system. <br /> Ms. Buczynski stated that the field drains will be tied into the eastern drains on the property. The <br /> system will have subgrade, then a layer of crushed stone and then an additional subgrade. The <br /> pipes were modeled as culverts so the system will not be free flowing. Ms. Buczynski also stated <br /> that if stone is used then they can use double washed stone. <br /> Mr. Bitsko noted that most of the area is under laid with peat. <br /> Ms. Buczynski stated that because of that they will be digging lower than the subgrade. <br /> Mr. Bitsko raised his concern about the planting plan which includes two groundcovers that are <br /> of Asian origin. Mr. Bitsko asked that they replace the two proposed groundcovers with native <br /> plantings. <br /> Mr. Langseth asked for drainage calculations to be submitted and reviewed by engineering. <br /> On a motion by Mr. Beuttell and seconded by Mr. Langseth the Commission voted 6-0 to <br /> continue the meeting at the applicant's request. <br /> 8:26pm <br /> DEP 201-1119 BL 1077 <br /> NOI, 18 Cooke Road <br /> Applicant: Erik Jarnyrd <br />
