Rosemary Meyerott, Town Historian, referred to the ad hoc committee formed in 1983 (The Apricot Alliance) to work on the placement of historical farm equipment at the the Heritage House. She did not agree with placing the equipment by the patio as she believed it was too crowded there. Mrs. Meyerott supported placing it on the Fremont Road side as there was a flat pad which was weed free. Jean Struthers, member - Environmental Design and Protection Committee, noted that she and Mary Stutz had both served on the committee on landscaping this equipment many years ago and she believed there was a landscape plan on file at Town Hall. She noted that at that time it was discussed that the shed would go in the back of the property. Mrs. Struthers further commented that there were underground utility lines which needed to be marked. While Mrs. Struthers believed Scott Ellinger had good intentions, she questioned whether there was enough lead time for this project. Mary Stutz, Planning Commissioner, commented that the original plans called for the shed to be by the walnut tree. She believed the placement of the equipment by the side of the patio would work but suggested that the equipment should be placed up by the walnut tree. Mrs. Stutz further commented that there had been no vandalism to the historic equipment placed in front of Town Hall. Dauber was advised that the path had been located and Hubbard thanked Scott Ettinger for all of his work on this project. Tryon also referred back to the work done by the Apricot Alliance on this very same project many years ago. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Johnson, seconded by Hubbard and passed by the following roll call vote to approve the display of the farm equipment at the Heritage House by the side of the patio with a single split rail fence around the entire display.
