The passage of Massachusetts Ballot Question 3 (Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Initiative) on November 6, 2012 legalized the medical use of cannabis. The passage of Massachusetts Ballot Question 4 (Massachusetts Marijuana Legalization Initiative) on November 8, 2016 legalized the adult-use of cannabis. Lexington recognizes the need for the thoughtful development of rules and regulations, to set guidelines for the eventual permitting process of certain licensed establishments, and to ensure full compliance with state law and local ordinances. The Committee shall equitably consider opinions from throughout the community, business and non-profit, public health and safety officials, youth representatives, and other interested stakeholders. The Committee will be advisory in nature with the primary goal being to review, discuss and make recommendations on the current and proposed rules and regulations for the expanding cannabis landscape. Time Commitment: The Committee will meet monthly or more or less often as necessary. Process: At each meeting, the Committee will review and discuss options for potential cannabis rules and regulations on specific regulatory topics, and provide comments and recommendations to the Board of Selectmen. Committee members will be provided with a list of agenda topics to be discussed in advance of each meeting. The suggestions provided are for the purposes of initiating and guiding the discussion. The Committee members may make suggestions in addition to what is being provided. Committee members will also be able to submit additional comments in writing. Topics: The Committee shall develop a comprehensive list of topics for discussion based on: • Language in the voter-approved Medical Use of Marijuana regulations; • Language in the voter-approved Adult-Use of Marijuana regulations; • The Town of Lexington's existing and proposed rules, regulations and ordinances governing both the medical and adult-use marijuana; • Existing and proposed state laws and regulations governing medical and adult- retail marijuana; • State and local rules and regulations governing liquor and tobacco products; • The Cole Memo — which provided the federal government's guidance regarding marijuana enforcement in those states which have legalized marijuana; and • Marijuana rules and regulations in those states which have legalized medical and adult-use marijuana. The topics developed represent a very broad scope of options for rules and regulations and are meant to stimulate discussion. The list is not a set of suggestions for implementation. Town Goals for Implementation: • Enact local regulation responsibly and thoughtfully. • Ensure the health, safety and well-being of our community members. • Meet the needs of residents, businesses, neighborhoods and visitors. Public Input: Committee meetings are open to the public. Time will be reserved at the end of each Committee meeting to allow members of the public to provide comments. People interested in speaking will be required to sign-up during the meeting and will be allotted 3 minutes each. Separate public hearings on final rules and regulations will be held prior to adoption. Ground Rules of Meetings: • The Committee is an advisory group; the final rules and regulations will be adopted by the appropriate Board or other regulatory body. • Each Committee member is an equal participant in the process and has equal opportunity to voice opinions and contribute ideas. • Committee members accept the responsibility to come to the meetings prepared for the discussions. • Committee members must recognize the legitimacy of the interests, concerns, and goals of others, whether or not he/she agrees with them. Committee members must commit to treating each other, and those who attend the meetings, with respect, civility, and courtesy.

DRAFT RIGHT TO FARM BY-LAW Lexington, Massachusetts 2017 Annual Town Meeting Section 1 Legislative Purpose and Intent This "Right to Farm" By-law establishes a process by which the Town of Lexington will provide information to all present and future residents regarding existing state law pertaining to agriculture. The mechanism for providing notice is to be determined by the town. This By-law provides no new benefits or protections beyond those already contained in the Massachusetts State laws. The purpose and intent of this By-law is to embrace and explain the rights to farm accorded to all citizens of the Commonwealth under Article 97, of the Articles of Amendment of the Constitution, and all state statutes and regulations thereunder including but not limited to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A, Section 3, Paragraph 1; Chapter 90, Section 9; Chapter 111, Section 125A; and Chapter 128, Section IA. We the citizens of Lexington restate and republish these rights pursuant to the Town's authority conferred by Article 89 of the Articles of Amendment of the Massachusetts Constitution, ("Home Rule Amendment"). This By-law shall apply to all jurisdictional areas within the Town. Section 2 Definitions The word "farm" shall include any parcel or contiguous parcels of land, or water bodies used for the primary purpose of agriculture, or accessory thereto. The words "farming" or "agriculture" or their derivatives shall include, but not be limited to the following: •Farming in all its branches and the cultivation and tillage of the soil; •Dairying; •Production, cultivation, growing and harvesting of any agricultural, aquacultural, floricultural, viticultural, or horticultural commodities; •Farmers markets, CSA programs; •Growing and harvesting of forest products upon forest land, and any other forestry or lumbering operations; •Raising of livestock, including horses; •Keeping of horses as a commercial enterprise; •Keeping and raising of poultry, swine, cattle, sheep, rabbits, ratites, camelids and other domesticated animals for food and other agricultural purposes, including bees, fiber, fur- bearing animals, and any forestry and lumbering operations; •Preparations for market, delivery to storage or to market or to carriers for transport to market. Farming in Lexington may encompass activities including, but not limited to, the following: •Operation and transportation of slow-moving farm equipment over roads within the Town; •Control of pests, including, but not limited to, insects, weeds, predators and disease organism of plants and animals; •Storage and application of manure, fertilizers and pesticides; •Conducting agriculture-related educational and farm-based recreational activities, including agri-tourism, provided that the activities are related to marketing the agricultural output or services of the farm. •Processing and packaging of the agricultural output of the farm and the operation of a farmer's market or farm stand including signage thereto; •Maintenance, repair, or storage of seasonal equipment, or apparatus owned or leased by the farm owner or manager, used expressly for the purpose or propagation, processing, management or sale of the agricultural products; •On-farm relocation of earth and the clearing of ground for farming and or agricultural operations. Section 3 Applicability The benefits and protections affirmed by this By-law are intended to apply exclusively to those commercial agricultural and farming operations and activities conducted in accordance with generally accepted agricultural practices. Section 4 Right to Farm Declaration The Right to Farm is hereby recognized to exist within the Town of Lexington. The above- described agricultural and farm-related activities may occur on holidays, weekdays, and weekends by night or day and shall include the attendant incidental noise, odors, dust, and fumes associated with normally accepted agricultural practices. Impacts that may be caused to others through the normal practice of agriculture may be more than offset by the benefits of farming to the neighborhood, community, and society in general. The benefits and protections affirmed by this By-law are intended to apply exclusively to those agricultural operations and activities conducted in accordance with generally accepted agricultural practices. No benefits and protections are conferred to agricultural activities whenever adverse impact results from negligence or willful or reckless misconduct in the operation of any such agricultural or farming operation, place, establishment or facility or any of its appurtenances. Nothing in this Right to Farm By-law shall be deemed as acquiring any interest in land, or as imposing any land use regulation, which is properly the subject of state statute, regulation, or local zoning law. Section 5 Disclosure Notification Within 30 days after this By-law becomes effective, the Board of Selectmen shall post the following disclosure on the official bulletin board and website of the Town, at any other location at its discretion, and make such disclosure available for distribution upon request in the offices of the Board of Selectmen, Board of Assessors, and the Town Clerk. "It is the policy of the Town of Lexington to conserve, protect and encourage the maintenance and improvement of agricultural land for the production of food and agricultural products, and also for its natural and ecological value. This disclosure notification is to inform buyers and occupants that the property they are about to acquire or occupy lies within a town where farming activities occur. Such farming activities may include, but are not limited to, activities that cause noise, dust, and odors. Buyers or occupants are also informed that the location of property within the Town may be impacted by commercial agricultural operations including the ability to access water services for agricultural use under certain circumstances." Section 6 Resolution of Disputes Any person having a complaint about a farm or farming activity or practice is encouraged to seek an amicable solution through resolution directly with the owner or operator of the farm at issue. Such person may also, notwithstanding the pursuit of other available remedies, file such a complaint with the Board of Selectmen. The Board of Selectmen may, at its sole discretion and to the extent the Board believes resolution of the matter may be facilitated by involvement of the Town, forward the complaint to the Board of Health, or other appropriate board or officer, and request that recommendations for resolution be provided within an agreed upon timeframe. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, however, the Board of Selectmen shall not be required to forward a complaint filed in accordance herewith or to take any other action. Section 7 Severability Clause If any part of this By-law is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid, such decision shall not affect the remainder of this By-law. The Town of Lexington hereby declares the provisions of this By-law to be severable. RTFB Postcard Notice to Residents Lexington's Right to Farm Bylaw The Town of Lexington has a long and proud agricultural history that continues to this day. The character of the community and its landscape is largely shaped by this heritage. To help protect this legacy and preserve active farming in the community, the Town passed a Right to Farm Bylaw at Annual Town Meeting on March XX, 2017. The Bylaw provides the following notice to residents and prospective residents. "It is the policy of the Town of Lexington to conserve,protect and encourage the maintenance and improvement of agricultural land for the production of food and agricultural products, and also for its natural and ecological value. This disclosure notification is to inform buyers and occupants that the property they are about to acquire or occupy lies within a town where farming activities occur. Such farming activities may include, but are not limited to, activities that cause noise, dust, and odors. Buyers or occupants are also informed that the location of property within the Town may be impacted by commercial agricultural operations including the ability to access water services for agricultural use under certain circumstances."

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY LEXINGTON BOARD OF SELECTMEN MEETING AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Update-Hartwell Avenue/McGuire Road Intersection Project (30 min) PRESENTER: ITEM NUMBER: David Cannon,Assistant Town Engineer 1.2 SUMMARY: No vote is requested for this agenda item. Engineering is requesting, however, support from the Board to continue with the design of a traffic signal at this location(see attached memorandum). The Board requested an update on Hartwell Avenue/McGuire Road intersection and bridge project, following DPW's meeting with the Conservation Commission regarding the proximity of wetlands at the McGuire/Hartwell intersection. SUGGESTED MOTION: N/A FOLLOW-UP: Engineering will continue the design of this intersection. DATE AND APPROXIMATE TIME ON AGENDA: 3/8/2017 7:20 p.m ATTACHMENTS: Description Type Cd Mom) C"over Mom) D Maguire Road Q'ira,Sa RU: tia>nr. Backup Mat&.",Irinl ,pus MopNr 1775 C+ A ' D Z_ w APRIL19' MEMORANDUM To: Board of Selectmen From: Conservation Commission Date: January 27, 2017 Re: Proposed traffic controls at Hartwell Avenue and Maguire Road intersection On December 19, 2016 and January 23, 2017, the Engineering Division made informal presentations to the Conservation Commission of its report on the designs of the five alternative traffic controls that might be proposed for the intersection of Hartwell Avenue and Maguire Road and their comparative costs (including wetland impacts) and benefits. The purpose of the presentations was to seek an informal opinion of the Conservation Commission as to whether the Commission would issue an Order of Conditions permitting any of the five alternatives, two involving roundabouts and three involving traffic signals. We explained that it would be extremely difficult for the Commission to issue an Order of Conditions for three of the alternatives, the two roundabouts and one of the traffic signals, because of the amount of wetland alteration involved, and that, between the remaining two alternatives, the Commission would strongly prefer the traffic signal with the retaining wall. Since the Board of Selectmen will be the authority that will direct the Engineering Division's further development of the plan that will be submitted for permitting, the Commission would like to explain to the board the reasons underlying our opinion. The Bordering Vegetated Wetland performance standards of the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act(incorporated into the Lexington By-law for Wetland Protection) allow the Conservation Commission to permit a maximum of 5,000 square feet of wetland alteration. Any greater alteration requires a variance from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner. The DEP Commissioner may issue a variance if he or she finds that there is no reasonable alternative that would allow the project to proceed in compliance with the performance standards. Both roundabouts and one of the signal options would alter more than 5,000 square feet of wetland (16,207 sf, 8,881 sf and 6,876 sf, respectively), while the remaining two signal options allow for compliance with the performance standards, and thus provide less adverse alternatives. In these circumstances, we doubt that the DEP Commissioner would grant a variance to alter more than 5,000 square feet of wetland. In addition, the Bordering Vegetated Wetlands performance standards require replication of wetland area that is lost through alteration. Lexington Wetland Protection Code regulations require a 2:1 ratio of replication area to lost area. Wetland replication has a fairly high failure rate and areas of replication are more likely to succeed as functioning wetlands and replace the functions of the lost wetland areas if they are constructed near the location of the lost wetland. The design engineer for this project informs us that the only likely replication area near the proposed wetland alterations contains just 8,000 square feet, too little space to accommodate the required replication of the wetland area displaced by either of the roundabout alternatives or by the most intrusive of the signal options. In those cases, even if alteration and replication were permitted, replication would have to be attempted in another, less satisfactory location. The wetland system in which the proposed work would be located is a large and extremely important one. It is part of the Shawsheen River watershed and thus affects the public water supply of several neighboring towns. It also contains the Kiln Brook riverfront area and an extensive 100-year floodplain,providing flood storage. The wetland system also helps protect the surrounding area from flooding,pollution, and storm damage as well as provides wildlife habitat. If this wetland must be altered for reasons of public safety, we feel that the alteration should be as limited as possible. The two lowest-impact signal options require the alteration of 3,773 sf and 1,679 sf of wetland, respectively. Theoretically, the 2:1 replication area required for either option could be accommodated in the 8,000 sf of potentially available space for the proposed replication area. However, the alternative involving 3,773 sf of alteration would require 7,546 sf of replication, using nearly all(94%) of the potentially available space. Because of the risk of failure or partial failure of replication, we feel that it would be unwise to stretch the capacity of the potentially available proposed replication area to such an extent. We therefore strongly prefer the alternative requiring only 3,358 sf of replication, which is the signal option with the retaining wall. We hope this information is helpful to your consideration of the proposed traffic controls for the Hartwell Avenue and Maguire Road intersection. c I --- — � I r - •r ,�I Ili i I l Ili II I, II t = Ali I I I I 0 l I c � 11; Ise 51 I II i , I I I I — Id I � I 1 A � L - r _n_ -- -- i I I II ,a s I� i c I u% I .r I I I II I II � I—L n 1 i I ` - - -: r~ ly ;� I s � � I F � � 1 i � I a, — a o¢ � w o Q� W. 0 w a W.

Article 26: Appropriate from Debt Service Stabilization Fund In past years we included Article 9: Establish and Continue Departmental Revolving Fund (and Special Revenue Funds), as part of the Consent Agenda. It has not been suggested this year because the Municipal Modernization Act now permits Town's to create a bylaw related to Revolving Funds (see Article 38) and requires a Special Revenue Fund for the PEG Access Account(see Article 8),which was previously a revolving fund.Town Meeting may need an explanation of these changes in law. w w U U A A ti ti a a F O O W d d Z W W F � � `� `� � m �' i m � � TS CCU p., P-, °-' cd �, � °� ° •p � °� b4 m N N y� c��i ��i 0 •!�� .�' �' •¢� .
