Conservation Commission — July 14, 2026
The Commission will begin with new business, including a Lexington Nature Trust Fund expenditure for chainsaw training and discussing interpretative signage for Whipple Hill. Enforcement matters regarding the MWRA and properties on Maple Street and Turning Mill Road will also be addressed.
New public hearings include a request for a Determination of Applicability at 231 Bedford Street for parking lot paving and an amendment to an Order of Conditions at 58 Valleyfield Street to raise a basement floor elevation.
The meeting will continue with two significant ongoing hearings: a Notice of Intent for a multi-family residential development at 114 Wood Street involving demolition and new construction near wetlands, and a Notice of Intent for a garage and home addition at 18 Saddle Club Road within the Riverfront Area.
