Sidewalks. Dave P. suggested we work with Erik Gitschier, Town Highway <br /> Superintendent. We expressed our concerns about sidewalk width v. space for optimal <br /> tree health. Width of sidewalks is on a case by case basis due to the inputs of many. <br /> Minutes for February were approved as written. <br /> Tree Management Manual. Anne passed out changes that she and John have worked <br /> on. Previous manual (third edition) was published 2012. We are supposed to update <br /> every three years. Page 34 was approved. Page 36 was tabled until Anne can clarify <br /> Item 2. Page 38, VIII A 2, line 2 we remanded three back to six inches and otherwise <br /> approved. Page 40 approved as amended. Page 43 approved up to IX. <br /> Dense housing development was moved to a future meeting. We may want to propose <br /> changes to the Tree Bylaw for 2019 Town Meeting. <br /> Best Practices was felt to be our next best subject. We agreed that we need to synthesize <br /> the results of the Committee's research, adopt what meets our needs, and then to meet <br /> with Chris and/or Dave, before fall planting begins. <br /> Possible agenda items: should we expand the tree committee? Should we have <br /> landscape architects on the committee? What is our charge, and should it expand? (I <br /> would also add—let's brainstormstrategies for best relationships and info sharing with <br /> DPW, Tree Warden, and others. <br /> Next meeting is April 12, Thursday, 7:30 AM, same location. <br /> Respectfully submitted, Pat Moyer <br />
