2 The Conservation Commission compared the proposed approved plan dated 1/29/2014 and the as-built plan dated 7/5/2017 and found that the changes made during the construction process were more than insignificant plan changes, and hence, the Commission did not approve the plan changes as insignificant changes at this time. A majority of the Conservation Commission was of the opinion that the implemented changes required an amendment to the Order of Conditions process at a minimum for the Commission to approve the changes. However, since the Order of Conditions expired on February 11, 2017, the Conservation Commission cannot amend the Order of Conditions to approve the changes. The Commission voted unanimously to deny the request for a certificate of compliance and insignificant plan change for 39 Sherburne Road. On a motion by Mr. Wolk and seconded by Mr. Beuttell, the Commission voted 6-0 to require the applicants at 39 Sherburne Road to file a new Notice of Intent, reflecting the changes. Request for Insignificant Plan Change: 151 Grove St(201-1095 BL 1052)removal of two additional trees Kyle Cornier of Oxbow Associates presented before the Commission. Mr. Cornier stated that they are proposing to remove two trees on the property. They removed a white pine and a red oak. Mr. Cornier stated that they are proposing to replace the trees with red oak, American holly or a sugar maple. On a motion by Mr. Langseth and seconded by Mr. Beuttell, the Commission voted 6-0 to issue the Insignificant Plan Change. Request for Extension to Order of Conditions: 18 Constitution Road DEP 201-884 BL 843 from 3-27-2019 to 3-27-2020, pending final stabilization and certification On a motion by Mr. Langseth and seconded by Ms. Ladd, the Commission voted 6-0 to extend the order of conditions for 18 Constitution Road for one year. Discuss Annual Town Meeting Warrant Articles: Article 4 —Reduce CPA Surcharge Rate from 3%to 1%pursuant to G.L. c.44B, S. 16 (Citizen Article) Chairman Hamilton stated the importance of the 3% surcharge rate for the Town of Lexington. The funds generated from the surcharge rate fund housing, historic preservation and recreation projects in Lexington in addition to funding Conservation Commission land acquisitions. Mr. Wolk stated that this citizen's article is before Town Meeting because people feel as though all that can be done by the CPA has been done. A letter in opposition from the Conservation Commission would be helpful in showing support for the continued 3% surcharge rate. On a motion by Mr. Wolk and seconded by Ms. Ladd, the Commission voted 6-0 to oppose the Annual Town Meeting Warrant Article 4 and to compose a letter stating that opposition.
