<br />Meeting broadcasted by LexMedia <br /> <br />PUBLIC MEETING MINUTES <br />Conservation Commission <br /> <br />___________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />AGENDA Monday, July 25, 2022, 6:30 p.m. <br /> <br />This Conservation Commission meeting was held remotely via Zoom, an online meeting <br />platform. Public Participation via calling in or using your computer was encouraged. <br /> <br />Commissioners Present: Kevin Beuttell (acting Chair), Alex Dohan, Jason Hnatko and Holly <br />Samuels (not present: Duke Bitsko, Philip Hamilton, and Ruth Ladd) <br /> <br />Staff Present: Karen Mullins, Conservation Director, Meghan McNamara, Department <br />Assistant, and Amber Carr, Conservation Coordinator <br /> <br />6:30 PM New Business/Pending Matters <br /> <br />Breakdown of Willard’s Woods Meadow Preservation and ADA improvement design and <br />engineering; Kyle Zick Landscape Architecture, Inc. <br /> <br />Ms. Tracy Hudak, Project Landscape Architect, and Mr. Kyle Zick, Principal, both with Kyle <br />Zick Landscape Architecture, Inc., presented to the Commission. On July 14, 2022, the first <br />public charrette was held to discuss the Willard’s Woods Universally Accessible Trails and <br />Parking Accommodations. Ms. Hudak and Mr. Zick provided the Commission with an overview <br />of the public charrette and an update on the project. The Commission reiterated that there will be <br />several more opportunities for public input in this process. <br /> <br />Comments from the Commission: <br />⎯ What types of materials are appropriate, or is that still being worked on? <br />⎯ Maintaining the environmental integrity of the pond is important and would be happy to <br />see a fence installed <br />⎯ Installing a fence makes sense given the current situation with the dogs at this site who <br />are not under as much control as they should be <br />⎯ Like the diversity in Option B and would be interested to see what the public feedback is <br />on the cart path and not the upland trail. <br /> <br />Discussion on herbicide use at West Farm Conservation Area as it pertains to the RFQ for field <br />preservation <br /> <br />Ms. Carr requested feedback from the Commission on herbicide application at West Farm <br />Conservation Area to target currently dense populations of sumac, black swallow-wort, black <br />locust, and tree of heaven. Ms. Samuels stated that people are concerned about the sumac <br />encroaching into the meadow, and would prefer that the sumac be mowed, and the black <br />swallow-wort and tree of heaven be treated. Ms. Carr stated that ultimately it would be up to the <br />consultant to decide what type of herbicide is used, but that her preference would be Triclopyr so
