<br />Minutes – Lexington Conservation Commission Land Management Subcommittee October 3, <br />2011 <br /> <br />Commissioners present: Duke Bitsko, Phil Hamilton <br /> <br />Others present:Members of the Advisory Group to the Subcommittee Stephen Hilzenrath, Maria <br />LoConte, and Fran Ludwig; Emily Schadler, Conservation Assistant <br /> <br />Phil Hamiltonopened the meeting at 8:05am in The Ellen Stone Room, Cary Hall <br /> <br />The Subcommittee and Advisory Committee members continued to review and discuss signage <br />and outreach/community education on the regulation of dogs in Willards Woods. Topics <br />discussed included: <br /> <br /> <br />Signage: <br /> <br />Several suggestions were made for changes to the proposed language on the three examples of <br />entry signs that had been circulated before the meeting. There was a consensus that the language <br />should be more definite in its rendition of the rules. It was agreed that Phil would incorporate the <br />comments into a new draft and would circulate the draft by the end of the week. Suggestions for <br />changes to that draft should be submitted to Phil as soon as possible after that, to enable the <br />distribution of a further draft for discussion at the next meeting. <br /> <br />There followed a discussion of the on-leash zones at the entries to Willards Woods and of the <br />signs to be used to delimit those zones. After examination of a map, it was agreed that on-leash <br />zones would be established in only two places, the entrance from Brent Road/Hathaway and the <br />entrance from the North Street parking lot. Most of the dogs enter the property through those <br />entrances and it is there that the problem of uncollected dog waste is most serious. In addition, <br />the establishment of on-leash zones at the less-used entrances could require frequent re-leashing <br />of dogs that are not exiting. The group agreed that the on-leash zones would be established by <br />topography, rather than by distance form the entrance, and (1) that the Brent Road on-leash zone <br />should extend from the Brent Road/Hathaway entrances to the intersection of the main path with <br />a path from the left at the beginning of the large open field and (2) that the North Street on-leash <br />zone should extend from the parking lot to the end of the plateau on which the picnic area is <br />located. Because of the morning rain and the time, the group decided to forego a site visit at this <br />time. <br /> <br />Several suggestions were made for the language of the signs designating the beginning and end <br />of the on-leash zones. It was agreed that Phil and Emily would incorporate those suggestions <br />into a template from the Trustees of Reservations and circulate it for further suggestions, to be <br />submitted to Phil before the next meeting. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br />
