Renewal of _goat_ grazing permit at Chiesa Farm for 2022, Hal6 Sofia Schatz and Laurene
Beaudette
Ms. Hal6 Sofia Schatz and Ms. Laurene Beaudette raised concern about damage to the goat
grazing signs posted at Chiesa Farm. Details will be added to the posted signs about vandalism
on town property.
On a motion by Ms. Ladd and seconded by Ms. Dohan, the Commission voted 6-0 by roll call
vote to renew the Chiesa Farm goat grazing permit for 2022.

6:46 PM
475 Bedford Street—informal discussion on conceptual development plan
Mr. Hamilton said that he will be recusing himself from the discussion because he resides at
Drummer Boy Green, an abutting property.
Mr. Ed Nardi, Cresset Group, Mr. Andrew Castraberti, Cresset Group, and Ms. Laura Laich,
VHB,presented to the Commission. Mr. Nardi stated that the project team is proposing 22
shadow parking spots within the 25-50 foot buffer zone in an attempt to balance the parking
supply and prefer not to raise the parking garage higher. Ms. Laich stated that the project team is
trying to incorporate a buffer zone into the plans for any new replicated wetland areas.
Ms. Dohan asked if the parking area dividers will be pervious material and they will be. Mr.
Langseth raised a concern about the pervious parking being so close to the wetlands and the
possibility of gasoline dripping from cars. Mr. Bitsko stated that the pervious parking islands are
not beneficial to tree planting and that it would be easier for snow removal if the islands were
removed which might also allow for more parking spaces. Mr. Beuttell questioned the outlet in
the 25-foot zone and asked if it's appropriately located.
7:08 PM
Request for Certificate of Compliance: Hastings, 7 Crosby Road(Partial), DEP4201-1079, BL

116 Vine Street: Notice of Intent
ViewPoint Cloud Permit# CN0I-21-44, DEP#201-1246
Applicant: Lexington Housing Assistance Board, Inc.
Property Owner:
Project: construction of 40b housing consisting of two buildings (6 units), a parking lot and
associated site development, within the 100-foot buffer to BVW
Documentation Submitted:
— Project Description; From: Devon Morse, Hancock Associates; Re: Notice of Intent
(NOI)-116 Vine Street, Lexington, MA; Date: 11/30/2021;
— Stormwater Report; Prepared by: Hancock Associates; Stamped by: Brian G. Geaudreau,
PE Civil No. 64495; Signed by: Unknown, 424366; Date: 11/29/2021;

Associates; Prepared for: LexHab; Date: 11/29/2021;
Ms. Samuels stated that she has been advising the project team on native plantings and is
recusing herself from the discussion and vote.
Mr. Brian Geaudreau, Hancock Associates, and Mr. Kyle Cormier, Oxbow Associates,presented
to the Commission.
Questions and Comments from the Commission:
— What is the offset of the building corner to the closest wetland flag?
— Please confirm if the distance from the wetland to the building is based on the foundation
or the roof line.
— Would prefer a larger distance than 50-feet away to avoid any mistakes during
construction that would put the roof line within 50-feet of the wetlands.
— Request to see the test pit data for wetland flags A 1, A2 and A3. The area felt wet during
the site visit and would like to have more information.
— It seems odd to have the bike storage be a structure/building.
— Can the building containing Units 1-4 be moved south to allow for more green space
behind the building and move farther away from the 50-foot buffer?
— The southernmost patio is proposed on a very steep slope
— Bothered by the walkway connecting this parcel to the abutting conservation land. Can a
sidewalk on the road be proposed instead?
— Have geothermal or solar panels been considered at this property?
Responses from the Representative:
— The intent for the building is to remain outside the 50-foot"no-build" buffer zone, so the
distance is equal to or greater than 50 feet away. The 50-foot buffer zone line on the site
plan could be thick and gives off the appearance that the building setback is within the
50-foot zone.
— There will be panels on the barn and perhaps some on the front house, but no canopies in
the parking area are being proposed.
— Will be providing a landscaping plan at the next meeting, with a focus on screening from
abutters and a delineation between this site and the adjacent town-owned land.
Ms. Dohan stated that, in the description of the proposed work, it mentions a short walk to the
MBTA commuter rail station. Mr. Geaudreau responded that he was looking at an old map of the
area and will revise the project description since there is not a commuter rail station nearby.
Mr. Bitsko asked if an Operation & Maintenance Plan was submitted and who would be
responsible for maintenance of the subsurface chambers. Mr. Geaudreau responded that the
maintenance and annual inspections will be the responsibility of LexHAB or a third parry
contractor. Mr. Bitsko also asked if the applicant knows how the annual inspections are
performed on other LexHAB properties. Mr. Geaudreau responded that he did not know the
answer, but that a Condition could be added that requires receipts of inspections and
maintenance to be submitted to staff as part of the Operation & Maintenance Plan. A snow
storage plan was not submitted and will be included in the revised plan.
Mr. Lester Savage, Vice-chair of the Lexington Housing Assistance Board, stated that individual
unit occupants will bring their trash and recycling to the end of the driveway for pick-up and he
anticipates roll off carts for the barrels.
Mr. Langseth stated that the stormwater management was not done in regards to the bylaw
standards, and only the state standards. Mr. Geaudreau responded that the site is going to meet or
exceed local stormwater requirements and will provide that analysis at the next meeting. Mr.
Langseth asked why the overflow outlet was needed and why it has to be placed right on the
property line for the neighbor when a better option would be towards the back of the property
towards conservation land. It was also stated there is a proposed retaining wall near the southeast
property line and that runoff will overflow the wall and onto the neighboring property. The
Commission would prefer a Swale towards the back rather than allowing the runoff to go straight
across to the neighboring property. It was also asked if the runoff would go through a water
quality unit before entering the chambers and Mr. Geaudreau responded, yes, that is the chamber
with the deep sump.
Ms. Wendy Barrett, on behalf of 132 Vine Street, raised concern on the method of herbicide
application and the negative effects it can have on human health. Mr. Cormier responded that the
herbicide will be applied by a licensed professional and will likely be using glyphosate, and that
typically the applicator is more concerned about getting cancer. Mr. Cormier is not aware of the
application method for this project, but will provide that information at the next meeting.
On a motion by Mr. Beuttell and seconded by Mr. Hamilton, the Commission voted 6-0 by roll
call vote to continue the hearing to the January 24, 2022 meeting at the applicant's request.
Record of vote as follows:
Duke Bitsko—Aye

Ms. Michelle Kayserman, Samiotes Consultants,presented before the Commission.
Ms. Ladd stated that the asphalt apron off the turnaround and next to the community building is
huge. Ms. Ladd asked if some of that impervious surface could be removed. Ms. Annie Steele,
project architect, responded that the size may be necessary for emergency vehicles to access;
however, she will take a look at this for the next meeting. Ms. Ladd followed up stating that an
action like reducing pavement in this area could go a long way towards providing additional
mitigation.
It was asked if a cross section of the proposed mitigation site was provided. Ms. Kayserman
responded that she doesn't believe this information was provided but will submit it as part of the
supplemental information for the next meeting.
It was noted that no runoff attenuation is being provided for the new walkway in the front of the
building and this will need to be included within the stormwater management report. The
applicant does not need to manage that specific stormwater; however, they could increase the
size of the rain garden to capture additional roof runoff from another part of the building.
On a motion by Ms. Dohan and seconded by Mr. Hamilton, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll
call vote to continue the hearing to the January 24, 2022 meeting at the applicant's request.

Mr. Langseth informed the Commission that he will be recusing himself from the discussion and
vote.
Mr. Michael Novak presented to the Commission on behalf of the applicant, Lexington
Veterinary Associates, for which a representative was not in attendance. The applicant is
proposing to repave only a section of the existing parking area.
Mr. Hamilton stated that the proposed project would be improved if there was a trench installed
parallel to the wetland, and suggests that it be a couple of feet in depth of clean stone to collect
some runoff since the property slopes towards the wetland. Ms. Ladd stated that the paved area
closer to the street is not in great shape either and suggests adding a Swale.
On a motion by Ms. Ladd and seconded by Ms. Dohan, the Commission voted 6-0 by roll call
vote to continue the hearing to the January 10, 2022 meeting at the applicant's request.

Continued Public Meetin2s/Hearin2s
Willard's Woods Ecological Land Management Plan
The Conservation Commission received written comments and feedback from the public during
an open comment period after the hearing was continued. Mr. Langseth said that, while he is not
advocating for a parking lot on Brent Road, he does not like the idea that it has been taken off the
table because of neighborhood comments received. Mr. Hamilton clarified that no action has
been taken, and that the Brent Road parking area is not off the table. Ms. Amber Carr,
Conservation Coordinator, further clarified that the original plan was reduced from 8 parking
spaces to a maximum of 2 handicap spaces, and that this was based on public feedback.
On a motion by Mr. Beuttell and seconded by Ms. Ladd, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll call
vote to accept the Ecological Land Management Plan for Willard's Woods.

Applicant:/Property Owner: Glenn Herosian
Project: construction of an addition to a single-family dwelling and repairs to in ground
swimming pool and patio within the 100-foot buffer zone to Bordering Vegetated Wetlands and
200-foot Riverfront Area

Mr. Michael Novak, Patriot Engineering,presented to the Commission. Mr. Novak stated that
the overall pool deck size was reduced to bring down the impervious cover. A planting plan was
provided by LEC Environmental. A town engineering report has not been completed yet.
Questions and Comments from the Commission:
— What is the function of the section of pool deck that extends to the easterly lot line?
— Normally prefer that the overflow outlets be installed in areas more known to the
homeowner to catch any backing up of the system.
Responses from the Representative:
— That area of the pool deck to the easterly lot line is existing and the plan is to maintain
that area. There is a shed in that area, however it will be removed.
— The lot is not very large and limited in space and ground level. Could look into installing
the overflow at the downspout, but might provide greater risk of damage to the home.
Ms. Dohan mentioned that the plants on the planting plan appear to be clumped together and
asked if they could be more scattered and mixed around each other. Ms. Samuels stated that this
isn't really a problem but that the plantings could benefit in smaller groups.
Ms. Mullins reminded the Commission of the retaining wall and driveway encroachment onto
town-owned land.
On a motion by Mr. Langseth and seconded by Ms. Samuels, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll
call vote to continue the hearing to the January 10, 2022 meeting at the applicant's request.

Mr. Garrett Horsfall, Kelly Engineering Group, Mr. Elisha Long, Trammell Crow, Mr. John
Rockwood, EcoTec Inc., Mr. Jon Ouellette, Halvorson Design, and Mr. Ashok Patel, Ayushi
LLC,presented to the Commission. The proposal received site plan approval from the Planning
Board.
It was asked where the paved driveway runoff will go and Mr. Horsfall answered that all paved
surface runoff will go to the water quality device or the bioretention area, and that a majority will
be brought through the infiltration system.
Mr. Horsfall informed the Commission that the project team has met extensively with the
Lexington Fire Department, who agree that the emergency access road is required around the
entire building. Ms. Mullins stated that, for the proposed project at 475 Bedford Street, the Fire
Department determined that an access road around the entire building was not necessary. Mr. Eli
Long reiterated that the project team has spent a lot of time discussing with the Fire Department
and making adjustments, but cannot eliminate the need for the access road.
Ms. Mullins stated that the Commission received the second review from the peer reviewer,
Environmental Partners. Environmental Partners, within the review, stated that additional test
pits should be performed and they did not think the current amount was sufficient for the 5
subsurface systems. Kelly Engineering Group has agreed to have an inspection at the time the
systems are installed. Kelly Engineering Group has also agreed to update the pipe size on the site
plan as requested by Environmental Partners. Mr. Horsfall stated that he will have a Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)prepared and submitted for the next meeting.
On a motion by Mr. Hamilton and seconded by Ms. Dohan, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll
