Russell, PE 436713, dated 10/23/2020 -Stormwater Analysis 18 Blueberry Lane, Lexington, MA, dated October 23, 2020 prepared by Frederick W. Russell, P.E. -Stormwater Operation and Maintenance Plan Richard Kirby, Wetland Scientist with LEC Environmental Consultants, Inc., presented to the Commission. The plot of land is relatively flat, sloping upgradient toward the backyard that is fenced in. The driveway accesses a basement level garage, and there is an in-ground pool and patio in the backyard. Mr. Kirby stated that six trees are to be removed, and only one is within the 100 foot buffer zone. Additionally, a crushed stone vehicle access pad is proposed for construction vehicles. Very little site grading is proposed as it is all outside of the buffer zone. A deck is proposed off the back of the house and the pool will be filled in. Ms. Dohan asked if the hole from the pool could be used for the infiltration outside of the buffer zone as this could allow many trees to be retained in the backyard. Mr. Kirby responded that he believes most of the proposed tree removal is due to the current state of the large pines. He added that another large pine has tree protection around it. Mr. Kirby believes the developer says the trees pose a threat to the new house if they were to fall. Mr. Beuttell noted that he did not see any stormwater management on the front walkway and driveway and that the report says the applicant is meeting the standards, but it doesn't look right.
