Conservation Commission proposes gate at Hackett site; board asks for forester’s plan before action
Summary
The Conservation Commission proposed buying and installing a gate between the Hackett Foundation and an open field; Speaker 3 moved to authorize the gate but the board asked for a forester’s description of planned road/forest work and tabled the authorization pending that information.
The Conservation Commission has been authorized to purchase a gate for installation at a narrow point between the Hackett Foundation and the adjacent open field. Speaker 3 said Chris volunteered to help install the gate and that funds would come from the Conservation Commission account.
Speaker 3 moved to authorize installing the gate but Speaker 1 requested a description from the town forester describing the road fit and planned work before moving forward. The board agreed to table the authorization until the forester provides the requested information and until a site plan is available.
Speaker 3 also reported an upcoming meeting with the preserve forester to discuss road-fit repairs and the next planned timber 'cut number 2' listed in the master plan. The forester’s description is expected to inform whether the timing of the gate installation should proceed immediately or be deferred.
No purchase took place during this meeting; the motion to authorize installation is on hold pending the forester’s details.
