Lexington Conservation Commission Meeting Update - April 14, 2026 The Conservation Commission held its most recent meeting this week, marked by the announcement of a significant leadership change. Chair Ruth Ladd announced the resignation of Duke Bitsko, a member who has served the town for over 20 years. Bitsko’s departure represents a loss of long-standing expertise for the commission. In addition to personnel updates, the Commission handled several administrative items. This included approving a minor plan modification for 101 Blossom Crest Road and issuing an order of conditions for 118 Kendall Road. They also addressed an old permit for 72 Grassland, issuing a certificate of compliance because no work had actually been performed under that permit. Moving forward, the Commission is focusing on enforcement at 60 Monroe Road. Staff will be conducting site visits to verify whether required plantings were completed before any final compliance certificates are issued. We will continue to monitor how these transitions and enforcement actions impact local land use. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/lexington/conservation-commission/2026-04-14/ #MeetingWatch #LexingtonMA
