Insignificant Plan Change Request: 4 Demar Road, ViewPoint Cloud Permit# CPM-20-13, CN0I-20-10, DEP4201-1185, BL42010 On a motion by Mr. Langseth and seconded by Ms. Dohan, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll call vote to approve this request as an Insignificant Plan Change. Record of vote as follows: Duke Bitsko —Aye Kevin Beuttell—Aye Alex Dohan—Aye Ruth Ladd—Aye David Langseth—Aye Holly Samuels —Aye Phil Hamilton—Aye Enforcement Order: 3 Solomon Pierce Road Invasive Species Management Plan, DEP4201-758, BL4742 The current owner of 3 Solomon Pierce Road, James Bowdring, is looking to sell his property and would like to request a Certificate of Compliance for an Order of Conditions (OOC, DEP File 4: 201-0782) issued early in 2010. The proposal, by a previous property owner, was for a deck off the rear of the dwelling, and included roughly 15,000 square feet of Invasive Species Management as mitigation. This mitigation effort was never completed, and the Order of Conditions has expired. The Commission agreed to issue an enforcement order, allowing the current owner to execute the Invasive Species Management plan (hand removal of invasive shrubs and saplings) outside of the growing season. Hartwell Innovation Park Draft Zoning Bylaw Mr. Hamilton asked members of the Commission if they would like to be a part of the working group to get in touch with him. The goal is to have draft bylaw and performance/design standards by January. Approve Minutes: 11/16/2020 Meeting On a motion by Ms. Samuels and seconded by Ms. Ladd, the Commission voted 7-0 to approve the minutes of the November 16, 2020 meeting. Record of vote as follows: Duke Bitsko —Aye Kevin Beuttell—Aye Alex Dohan—Aye Ruth Ladd—Aye David Langseth—Aye Holly Samuels —Aye Phil Hamilton—Aye Schedule site visits for 1/4/2021 meeting The Commission agreed to schedule the site visits on Saturday 1/2/2021. Reports: Bike Advisory, Community Gardens, Community Preservation Committee, Greenway Corridor Committee, Land Acquisition, Land Management, Land Steward Directors, and Tree Committee Mr. Langseth will be coordinating with Ms. Mullins and Ms. McNamara to schedule an hour long zoom to review stormwater reports with the Commission and answer any questions that members may have. This is not regarding a specific project, but the Commission wants to have a better understanding of the subject. 6:57 PM (6:07:00 for LexMedia Recording) New Public Meetings/Hearings ViewPoint Cloud Permit#AOOC-20-11, DEP#201-1137, BL#1094 Amendment to the Order of Conditions, 127 North Street Applicant: Ying Chen and Katherine Van Stry, Bull Realty LLC Project: Changes include an impervious driveway instead of porous pavement as originally proposed and approved; modified stormwater management system; removal of an additional tree. Documentation Submitted: -"Request for Amended Order of Conditions" and attachments, prepared by LEC Environmental Consultants, Inc., Richard A. Kirby, Senior Wetland Scientist, dated 11/24/2020 • "Drainage/Grading Plan", dated May 15, 2019 and revised through November 6, 2020 (Sheets C-0 and C-1)prepared by Gala Simon Associates, Inc. • Engineering Drainage Calculations for 127 North Street Lexington, Massachusetts revised through November 6, 2020 prepared by Gala Simon Associates, Inc. • "Operation and Maintenance of Drainage Systems & Construction Period Erosion and Sediment Control", dated May 20, 2019 and revised through November 6, 2020,prepared by Gala Simon Associates, Inc. Richard Kirby, LEC Environmental presented to the Commission. The retaining wall design requires that the retaining wall be anchored beneath the driveway with the geo-tech fabric which precludes the applicant from having porous pavement. Additionally, a 27 inch tree that was not originally picked up by survey between the foundation and North Street will have to come down. The applicant is proposing the addition of 4 sapling red maple trees along the southwestern property line to mitigate this. Ms. Mullins confirmed that an engineering review has not been completed yet. Concerns of the Commission: - Concerned about replacing the functions of the 27 inch tree and replacing with small saplings. - Is there a planting plan? Responses of the Applicant: - The proposed saplings are typically what is commercially available. Measure 4-6 feet in height and have a 1 to 1 �/z inch caliper. The literature suggests that planting smaller saplings is more beneficial after 10-15 years, and that the smaller saplings are more adaptive to their new environmental conditions. - No,there's an area of crosshatching on the Plan, along the Southeastern property line and into the compensatory flood storage area. A native seed mix will establish a meadow that will be mowed once annually. Feno markers are proposed along that boundary to protect all of the naturally vegetated land on the site. Ms. Samuels stated that she would like to see larger trees if there will only be a meadow proposed and would like to see the trees working a little sooner. Ms. Samuels suggests 2-2 �/z inch caliper trees. Ms. Dohan, following up with Mr. Kirby's comment about smaller trees being more adaptive, asked if more smaller trees could be planted, if not bigger trees. Mr. Kirby answered and proposed planting six smaller trees. Members of the Commission agreed that diversity of the trees is a concern, in addition to the number of trees planted. Mr. Kirby and the Commission agreed on planting one Red Maple, two Tupelo, and three Red Oak trees. Ms. Mullins stated that the planting plan can be included in the amended order of conditions, and that an engineering review is required before closing the hearing. On a motion by Ms. Ladd and seconded by Ms. Samuels, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll call vote to continue the hearing to the 1/4/2021 meeting at the applicant's request.

Mr. Kirby provided a description of the lot stating that it is currently an undeveloped lot next to 609 Waltham Street and was just recently given the designation of 607 Waltham Street by the Town of Lexington. LEC Environmental delineated the resource areas and the Bordering Vegetated Wetlands boundary. The 25, 50, and 100 foot buffer zones occupy a vast majority of the property. The applicant is proposing a retaining wall from the side (south)to the rear of the house. Stormwater management from the house and driveway will be directed to a single subsurface infiltration system to the north. Questions and Concerns of the Commission: - There's ledge within the footprint of the proposed dwelling, concerned if there is blasting or if this has any impact on the surrounding wetland area - The roof overhang is exactly 50 feet from the BVW boundary at its closest point. Would like to see that shifted as builders often cannot be as accurate as the Plans. - What is the maximum size of the retaining wall? Responses from the Applicant: - The surveyor identified it as a ledge but it may be a large boulder semi-buried on the site. Blasting won't be necessary, if anything a hammer removal. - Within 6 inches of front yard setback so being squeezed on both sides. Tried to downsize the garage as best as they could. - The retaining wall is about 2 �/z to 3 feet high at maximum. The Commission would like to add a condition that an as-built foundation plan be submitted marking the wetland flags, and to ensure that if concrete is poured incorrectly that it will be fixed, or that overhang is shaved off. An as-built foundation plan is for the applicant's benefit to minimize the amount they need to fix if it in fact does get poured in the wrong place. Mr. Beuttell brought up concerns regarding the large oak on the front of the property. It is not shown on the plan because it may be off property, however there are concerns about whether the roots will be impacted to some degree. Mr. Beuttell suggests that any removal of the branches be under the supervision of the certified arborist and that there be a root protection zone. Ms. Samuels added that a construction entrance is not shown on the plan and this will be important to see especially for the protection of the tree. Mr. Kirby followed up saying that although the Oak tree is outside the limit of work boundary, he agrees that tree protection should be put in place, especially for the root zone, and that a more detailed entrance can be established during the pre- construction meeting with Ms. Mullins. Ms. Ladd raised a concern about a tree by the proposed driveway which will be even closer and more likely to be impacted. Mr. Kirby responded saying that this tree may have to come down and it is within Waltham Street right of way. On a motion by Mr. Langseth and seconded by Mr. Beuttell, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll call vote to close the hearing.

The applicant is proposing a circular driveway due to the vehicle traffic on Lincoln Street. The circular driveway will be larger than the original plan, but the impervious footprint will be slightly less than what was originally approved. The second modification is in the rear yard where a paver patio is being proposed, and a trench drain is being proposed to capture runoff from the patio. The proposal still meets performance standards with regard to peak flows off the site for volume and rates. The third modification is a paver walkway which will runoff to the lawn area, and which also remains in compliance with performance standards. On a motion by Mr. Langseth and seconded by Ms. Ladd, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll call vote to approve the amendment to the Order of Conditions.

Gala, dated 11/3/2020 -"72 Grassland St NOI Comments"; Memorandum from Michael Sprague, Engineering, to Karen Mullins, Conservation; dated 12/7/2020 -"72 Grassland Street Proposal", Letter from abutter, 39 Valleyfield Street, dated 12/14/2020 Mr. Richard Kirby, LEC Environmental, and Al Gala, Project Engineer, presented before the Commission. The applicant is proposing an addition off the rear of the home, within the footprint of an existing deck and existing lawn area, and proposing that the existing deck be extended to the side of the house for access. A planting plan is included with roughly 2,100 square feet of wetland restoration and a small area of wetland buffer zone restoration. The basement of the existing house contains a small utility room and the remainder of the existing basement is finished. Pertaining to both the Commission's and abutter's concerns on groundwater displacement, the idea for the first 8 feet across the proposed addition, that portion of the basement will accommodate the utility room and stairs, and the remaining 12 feet will be for crawl space storage that will remain further above the groundwater table compared to the existing basement floor elevation. Concerns of the Commission: - How to justify an addition that is entirely within the 50 foot"no-build" zone and still displaces groundwater. - The Commission does not consider a deck to be something that justifies grandfathering, since a deck is usually permeable. - Concerned that the Feno markers could easily be wiped out with a lawn mower and would like to see a more substantial demarcation. - There is almost 5,000 square feet of disturbance, including soil removal - The stream, though intermittent, was quite full during the site visit. Could mean 6 months of active water flow, which is significant. Responses from the Applicant: - Understands that it is ambitious, did make steps to try and set this project apart from others by revegetating a significant portion of the lawn area - There are pavers beneath the deck that would render the land beneath as impervious. Ms. Ladd brought up questions about the test pit data and groundwater elevations. Mr. Gala, referring to test hole 41 in the rear of the property, said he found 19 inches of fill material, saw mottling at 53 inches, water was coming in at 67 inches, and it stabilized at 64 inches. Ms. Ladd asked why it was below the peat and Mr. Gala responded that it was what they could see. He added that, to be conservative they could use the top of the peat horizon at 19 inches. Mr. Kirby's numbers are at a higher water table and he used hand augers for the delineation. Mr. Beuttell raised concern about what areas on the proposed plan that are not areas of impervious surface, do not connect to the front or the rear infiltration units. Mr. Beuttell reiterated Mr. Kirby's comment that a portion of the existing would go to the front, and then asked if it is theoretically possible to pick up drainage from the existing bituminous driveway and connect it to the front infiltration unit. Mr. Gala responded, saying that the driveway is relatively flat and that the lowest point sheds towards the house slightly. Mr. Beuttell added that it would help to mitigate the impacts of the project if as much impervious surface as possible made its way to the infiltration units. Mr. Gala said they would look into that. Ms. Ladd also brought up concerns about the amount of disturbance between the 25 and 50 foot buffer zone, as flooding seems to be a big concern in the area. Mr. Kirby followed up stating that they can remove the historic fill that was placed in the back area in the wetlands. If they are going to use the beginning of the peat as the estimated seasonal high groundwater table that would elevate the infiltration system in the back and require them to bring in some for fill. On a motion by Ms. Samuels and seconded by Mr. Beuttell, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll call vote to continue the hearing to the January 4, 2021 meeting at the applicant's request.

Mr. Langseth brought a comment about the riprap spillway, noting first that it being six feet wide is a substantial improvement. He stated that it appears to be fairly short in the direction of flow, maybe only 3-4 feet wide, and asks whether that will be adequate for energy dissipation as the water is leaving. Mr. Hartnett responded that they did not want to get too close to the wetland edge and that it is a very shallow outflow area. It almost matches grade so they don't anticipate excessive velocity. On a motion by Mr. Langseth and seconded by Mr. Beuttell, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll call vote to close the hearing.

Portions of addition, deck, patio, site grading, and retaining wall are located within the outer portion of the 100-ft Buffer Zone to a Bordering Vegetated Wetland. Erosion controls, stormwater management, and wetland and Buffer Zone restoration are proposed. Previous Meeting Date: 11/30/2020 Supplemental Documentation: -"Stormwater Analysis and Calculations"; Prepared by: Eaglebrook Engineering and Survey, LLC; Stamped and signed by: Michael J.

Juliano; Dated 12/4/2020 -"Wetland and Buffer Zone Restoration Planting Plan"; Prepared by LEC Environmental Consultants; Dated 10/28/2020 and Revised 12/7/2020 Mr. Richard Kirby, LEC Environmental, and Michael Juliano, Eaglebrook Engineering, presented to the Commission the revised changes to the plan as requested during the previous meeting. At the last hearing, it was requested to have embedded boulders along the edge of the proposed restoration in addition to the Feno markers. LEC Environmental included 3 embedded boulders along a portion of the edge on the revised plan. Mr. Kirby added that the diameters of the boulders are about 2-3 feet, compared to the diameter of the shrubs that are about 5-6 feet. Comments from the Commission: - Three boulders would meet minimum expectations. Would like to see two or three more, but it is difficult to visualize on a plan what that would look like. - The boulders do not need to be equidistant, they can be more natural looking. - An advantage to putting boulders at both ends is that it shows the curved nature of the yard and enhances the aesthetic appeal. Responses from the Applicant: - The ferns and other planting efforts could be installed more strategically around the boulders as to hide their protrusion if it's too much - There are intentions to have ferns in a more manicured landscaped area upgradient of the restoration line. Mr. Juliano presented the design changes to the Commission, referencing the revised plans that show the existing portion of the dwelling to be taken out of service. Ms. Mullins pointed out that a revised engineering review has not been provided to the applicant yet. Mr. Karsten Nielsen, abutter and property owner of 16 Winthrop Road, raised a few concerns, including why more consideration hasn't been taken to living space outside of the 100 foot buffer zone. Mr. Nielsen also asked what mitigation efforts have been done to the slope on the northern side of the house, and would like a better understanding of the drainage system. Mr. Juliano responded first, saying that on the north side of the property, the existing grade is not changing. All of the roof runoff is being collected in the infiltration system and that there is plenty of space to manage in those areas. Mr. Kirby followed up, saying that there is living space proposed above the garage as well as off the back of the building. There are front yard setbacks so the proposed addition cannot be any closer to the street. The applicant has applied with the Zoning Board of Appeals for side yard setback relief to accommodate for the drainage system. Mr. Nielsen responded that there is no living space proposed above the garage. Bill Erickson, Project Architect, provided the following information; the existing house is placed very close in a non-conforming way to the property line and that there are many internal factors to consider. They have looked for ways to push the addition to the south side, but it makes internal organization very difficult. On the curved part of the street,towards the south side away from the property line, there is less and less front yard. Mr. Nielsen also brought up a concern about the limit of work on the side yard and its close proximity to the property line. Mr. Erickson responded that the grade is very low and the basement level is a walkout. There shouldn't be any problem in constructing the foundation and beyond there the stating to construct the walls are built off the floor. All the dimensions are from the furthest projection of the roof line. On a motion by Ms. Dohan and seconded by Mr. Langseth, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll call vote to continue the hearing to the January 4, 2021 meeting at the applicant's request.
