TOWN OF LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS CONSERVATION COMMISSION DRAFT MINUTES Monday July 9, 2018 6:30 P.M. Parker Room, Town Office Building 1625 Massachusetts Ave Acting chair Dick Wolk opened the meeting at 6:37 pm in the Parker Room of the Town Office Building. Commissioners Present: Alex Dohan, Ruth Ladd, Kevin Beuttell, Dick Wolk Others present: Karen Mullins, Conservation Administrator and Jordan McCarron, Conservation Stewardship Program Coordinator NEW BUSINESS/PENDING MATTERS 6:37pm Request for Insignificant Plan Change, Diamond School, DEP 201-1013, BL 970 and DEP 201- 1049, BL 1006 Present: Fred King, DGT Associates; Donna DiNisco, DiNisco Design; Michael Cronin, Lexington Facilities Department The Lexington School and Facilities Departments requested permission to add an additional five parking spaces to its current plan for the site; this would be done by converting 850 sq. ft. of existing grass to asphalt. Mr. King explained that the current parking design for the project calls for 151 parking spaces which is insufficient for the Diamond School's needs. Mr. King explained that the addition of five parking spaces to the site would not significantly impact the existing drainage and storm water design for the site and that no other vegetation except grass would need to be disturbed. Mr. King further explained that all other alternatives to this proposed change were either prohibitively expensive or would cause significant impact to the wetland resources on the property. Mr. Wolk directed Mrs. Mullins to condition the proposed change to include verification from Town engineering staff that the proposed change would indeed not impact the existing stormwater and drainage specifications for the project. Motion to approve the insignificant plan change with the above mentioned condition was made by Mrs. Ladd and seconded by Mr. Beuttell. Vote: 4-0 in favor.
