Longer-form draft.
On June 23 the Conservation Commission voted 5-0 to issue the order of conditions for the Lexington High School redevelopment at 251 Waltham Street. The approval covered both the state Wetlands Protection Act and the local bylaw. The board addressed multiple incursions into the 50-foot buffer zones around wetlands on the site, including parking areas, roads, and building placement. Findings were drafted to document each incursion and to state that overall mitigation on the property exceeds the sum of the separate impacts. Construction phasing was accepted with most wetland replication scheduled for phase two, and monitoring requirements were set at 90 percent survival over three years under the local bylaw. The order will be finalized and issued by staff. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/lexington/conservation-commission/2026-06-23/ #MeetingWatch #LexingtonMA
