<br />12. Consistency with Town Master Plan and Core Vision
<br />Lexington's 2009 Open Space and Recreation Plan Updated cited the Busa land as one of Lexington's few
<br />open meadows, which provides "habitat variety in Lexington and is particularly important for certain
<br />butterfly, bird, and small mammal species." The "Lexington 2020 Vision, Themes, Goals and
<br />Recommended Actions" listed the promotion of community character, fostering educational excellence,
<br />sustaining and enhancing the larger environment (such as increasing protected open space), and
<br />reinforcing connections between residents, civic organizations and town government. The
<br />establishment of a community farm is consistent with all of these goals.
