Valerie Puglisi marked out the island with chalk and a discussion ensued on the proposed design. Attached is a rough design agreed upon by the committee members. Several boulders and an anchor will act as focal points. Tall grasses will be planted towards the back of the island and low grasses will be planted in front of the anchor. Pinus conferta and dwarf mugo pine will surround the anchor also. A five foot border of brown pea-sized gravel will surround the outer edge of the island. This will necessitate removal of the asphalt. A wall of old telephone poles placed vertically, cut to varying heights, approximately 1 to 2 1/2 feet, will create the appearance of seaside pilings. Some poles will have roping. Salt-free soil will be required to fill the triangle. Mary McGee and the other members will continue to pursue the possibility of a donated anchor. Kathy O'Flinn will meet with the ?own Administrator, Steve Altieri, so that a blueprint and cost estimate can be prepared. Kathy O'Flinn will also check with Jean Grossman of Larchmont Nurseries for a cost estimate on the plantings. The next meeting will be called when the blueprints and estimates are completed.
