Lexington, Massachusetts
Members Present: Alex Dohan, Peggy Enders, Eileen Entin, Bob Hausslein, Susan Kenyon,
Keith Ohmart, Mike Tabaczynski
Other Attendees: none
Votes: Minutes of December 20, 2018, meeting: Approved
Reports/Updates:
• Route K - Keith has drafted a letter to the abutters of Parcel A on Peacock Farm Rd (# 41
and #43) and that is with Carol Kowalski. The small beech tree that is somewhat in the trail
will not be removed - it is on Town land and would require a Notice and a Hearing to do so.
Don and Keith have a spreadsheet for the route markings and will be ready to install in the
spring.
• Bridge School trail NOI - Jordan McCarron is reviewing the submission and will follow up. He
has an Eagle Scout interested in the project.
• Fairland St project - Susan communicated with Mark Barons. He is working on ADA require-
ments, and reports that some neighbors do not want a trail as he has proposed it.
Current Business:
• Proposed work for 2019 - Discussed several possible options for future Routes.
• Juniper Hill is out of the way, but could possibly be connected with landowner permission.
Peggy will reach out to Robert Rotberg on Barberry Rd. There is other private property that
we would need permission to use also for that route.
• Another upcoming option (ID#3) is a Connector route between Daisy Wilson Meadow and
Dunback Meadow. This could also connect Route B and Route C making a big loop, includ-
ing Rockville Ave and Summit Rd. Will need to work with principal at Bowman School - do
we need a policy for crossing school property during school hours? We do need to notify
abutters when signs are going up.
• There is a pond off Solomon Pierce Rd (ID#13) that would be a nice stop on a Connector be-
tween Arlington Great Meadow and Lower Vine Brook. Permission will be needed from the
Town of Arlington. It could be possible to connect through behind the Harrington School and
a Town parcel off Woburn St. This could connect Route C and Route G at Lower Vine Brook.
This is more likely to be in the 5-year plan, and should be walked with Karen Mullins and
Conservation Commission.
New Business:
none at this time
Pending Items:
• just planning for spring!
