The Committee met at 9:00 AM on December 11, 1990 at the island which
is located at the intersection of Weaver Street & Murray Avenue.
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.
