The commission questioned the use of herbicide on the site. Mr. McCarron stated that the treatment would be used in small amounts and would be targeted to specific plants. The commission requested that some native grass mix be used in addition to the flower seed mix. Comments from the audience: Mike, Friends of the Arlington Great Meadow, stated that they are in favor of the ğĬğĭǩǤƓƭƉź project and support it being expanded into the rest of the Great Meadow. David Williams asked why they are focusing on just those three acres rather than the rest of the meadow. Mr. McCarron explained that this area was the easiest to focus on because it is surrounded by a trail system. He also stated that the site is going to change dramatically and we did not want it to be too much change at one time. th Mr. McCarron added that there will be an informational walk on April 26 at 5pm for anyone who is interested. 7:21pm DET 16-14 RDA, 11 Marshall Owner/applicant: Huixing Yuan Project: Removal and replacement of an existing driveway Dan Schena, Landscaper Mr. Schena explained that his client currently has a driveway that is overgrown and in very bad shape.
