MINUTES - LEXINGTON CONSERVATION COMMISSION 4/11/00 PAGE 3 West Farm Mrs. Miller reported that Myla Kabit-Zinn, representing neighbors of West Farm, asked if we could put up doggy bags for people walking their dogs. Mrs. Miller believes this is a good idea and perhaps we could call on the Wilsons to help us. Since this method has been used at Sutherland Woods, Joyce will talk to the person there to learn more about this. Another area where doggy bags would also be useful is Willard's Woods because there are so many complaints from that area regarding dogs. Marrett Road School Site - Mrs. Miller said the Commission had been asked by a Town Meeting Member to pursue the transfer of this site. This should be placed on next year's Town Meeting. We could encourage the neighborhood to get involved as they did with Hennessey Field. Commissioners Bitsko, Fallick, Frick, Hamilton, Miller and Wolk voted to go into Executive Session for the purpose of approving minutes and discussing land acquisition. The meeting resumed in open session. Web—Local Board Training Calendar - Commissioners expressed an interest in the web-based clearing house for Town Boards. It is an interne calendar designed to help town officials access one-stop cross-board event listings. The Internet address is: www.townboard.org Lexington Christian Academy (201-4281 - Mrs. Miller noted that we received a letter from Carol Batstone regarding her conveyance of land to LCA in 1985 which placed a deed restriction on that land for residential lots only This is the same site where the school proposed construction of 20 parking spaces. Lexington High School (201-4381 - Mrs. Miller learned from Lisa Baci that many pine trees have been cut outside the Commission's jurisdiction. The contractors plan to cut the curb along Worthen Road for the construction of driveways for bus drop-off access. Lisa is concerned about the addition of this impervious surface before the drainage system is installed when that parking area is rebuilt. One of the access points would go through the low wet area. Lisa wants advance notice of meetings with the contract manager so that she can attend with Ms. Nordby Idvlwilde Gardens - Ms.Nordby reported that she will be walking the Idylwilde garden area with the new garden manager, Don Kozak. They will be reviewing the problems with the trees on abutting properties. Site Visits on Saturday Anril 22 - 10 a.m. - 57 Solomon Pierce Road; then 6 Lake Street.
