TOWN OF LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS CONSERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES Monday, February 6, 2017 6:30 P.M. Hudson Room, Cary Hall 1605 Massachusetts Ave Chair Philip Hamilton opened the meeting at 6:32pm in the Hudson Room of Cary Hall Commissioners Present: Phil Hamilton, Duke Bitsko, Alex Dohan, Kevin Beuttell Others present: Casey Hagerty, Conservation Department Assistant 6:32pm Lincoln Street Sidewalk discussion Todd Burger and Josh Summers, residents of Lincoln Street, explained to the Commission that they are submitting a petition to the TSG Group to get a sidewalk extended from Marrett Road down Lincoln Street. They explained that the situation is currently very dangerous. The proposed sidewalk would connect key locations and increase pedestrian safety. The proposed sidewalk would parallel Idylwilde Conservation Area, but they are unsure which side of the street it will run on; the Engineering Department will decide that. They understand that this would likely need to get approved through a Conservation permit. At this point Mr. Burger and Mr. Summers were just making the Commission aware of the petition and to ask for feedback. 6:45pm Compliance discussion regarding 9 Luongo Farm Road, DET 13-08 Bob Phelan- builder, Mike Capichetti- Project Engineer Mr. Phelan explained that this project was approved by the Commission through a Negative Determination in 2013. The entire project is outside of the 100 ft. buffer. There were some changes made to the house, but it was made smaller and pulled further from the wetlands. Mr. Capichetti stated that the only outstanding problem was whether the drainage complied with the Conservation Commission decision. The Town Engineering department had some questions about the test pits on site and whether the soils were consistent to what was proposed. Mr. Capichetti explained that they have provided the Engineering department with updated information. Mr. Phelan stated that they will come back on 2/21/2017 once the Engineering Department approves the project.
