She explained that the new draft guidelines had been circulated to the gardeners and some comments were received. She summarized the comments, which had been compiled and sent to the Commissioners by email. And, because there was general unhappiness among the Dunback gardeners about the fee hike at Dunback, Ms. Schadler explained what services are provided that factor into the fees. There also was resistance among the Dunback gardeners over the need for uniform policies at both gardens. Because of the lateness of the meeting and the fact that the comments about the draft policy had been read by the Commissioners, Mr. Hamilton asked that only new information be offered in comments at this meeting. Marita Hartshorn, one of the Dunback gardeners, volunteered to help Emily modify the policies to be more suitable to the Dunback gardeners. Chair Miller asked that once the policy draft is revised and circulated, comments again be collected, and she announced that the Commission will then meet again to consider and vote on the policy. 9:40 pm Mr. and Mrs. Srinivasan, owners of residence at 43 Sanderson Road, asked if they need to file an NOI for a bump out to their house within the buffer zone. They were told that they will. Commission agreed to approve use of fire pit at Willard’s Woods for Eagle Scout ceremony on evening of June 2.
