Lerdngtnn�eld& Garden Club Faunded May 1876 The rock that is our first choice is 58 inches wide by 32 inches high and 43 inches deep. Our alternate choice ' 48 inches wide by inches high and 31 inches deep. � It would be located o e n t side wa kway near the light and before the benches. On Thursday, 7anuary 29, I placed a marker on the approximate spot for viewing by members of the Historic Districts Committee. (It was very windy that day and due to the morning snow squa.11 the area was covered with a drift and I could not determine the edge of the walkway). Joan L.

As of ttus date I have nat had a reply. In your telephone ca11 to rne on September 29, you mentioned that the commission would not accept the proposed wa.ter feature but was amenable to the rock with a plaque honoring Mr. Emery. Was this intended to be a formal acceptance af the Garden Club's proposal? You had mentioned tha,t your group needed more information regarding the rock. My committee has narrowed the search for a suita.ble rock to four choices. We will make our final decision at a meeting la#er this month. A picture will be available for the�IDC to view if needed. Mr. Dave Pinsonneauit and his workers will deliver the rock to the site and install it. I will have a stonemason prepare the rock for the plaque and also install it. T would like to have this work completed by early May. Please advise me as to wtiat fiuther steps have to be taken for final acceptance of this project. Thank you. Yours truly, � �� Joan L.

Emery Park e�sts because of his foresight and determination. He was an active member of the Garden Club and served as its president for several tenns. Ginna Johnson told me that the space was in the area near Yangtze River. I was never able to determine from the plan exactly where the space was located. There was a stone in the park previously but it did not survive the move. There is also an existing plaque but its message is very brief. The Garden Club would like to place a new stane and plaque in the park. We really would like to have it near the Massachusetts Avenue sidewalk where it would be more noticeable. As for the other area, we would like to put in a small water feature. This would be very simple and not anything that would be a problem as far as vandalism or maintenance is concerned. I have spoken with Dave Pinsonneault regarding the matter and it is not a problem as far as he's concemed. The club has a substantial amount put aside for the praject. We would also assure that there was enough remaining in the fund for maintenance. Maintenance would be minimal consisting of turning on the electrical and water connection in the spring and turning it off in the fall. All garden spaces are made more welcoming with the saund of water. It would provide a tranquil spot for people to sit. We would like to request that the Historic Districts Commission consider our request. It would be helpful to have the decisivn prior to our August 2$ Executive Board meeting. Then we could bring the matter befare the general membership for a vote at our September 10 meeting. �'D�''�• � �,� THE LEXINGTON FIELD AND GARDEN CLUB,INC. �, 1"°e�" ,£� P.O.Box 133 '�j, ��s� �4� Le�ngton,Massachusetts 02420-0002 '�,,,�, I believe that this matter also needs to be brought to the attention of the Bvard of Selectrnen, Design Advisory and the Lexington Center Cammittees.
