SAUGUS – The Board of Cemetery Commissioners is holding a meeting with the hopes of putting a sensitive issue at the historic veterans cemetery to rest.”The intent is to find a solution to what we kind of screwed up,” said Commission Chairman Dennis Gould.During an August cleanup aimed at reopening the cemetery, workers took down several trees without first discussing the plan with anyone. The incident set off a small revolution of its own between the Cemetery Commission and irate Tree Committee members, Historical Commission members and a few town officials.According to state law, a public hearing is required before any tree on public property can be taken down. The town also passed a very comprehensive shade tree bylaw last spring aimed at protecting town trees.While the various committees have met to discuss the incident among themselves, Gould has called for a joint meeting so everyone can get together and essentially vent their frustrations at once. Along with airing their grievances, Gould is hoping they can all work together to find a solution to the problem.The felled trees were not only part of the cemetery landscape, but also provided a buffer for homes on Columbus Street that back up to the cemetery. Those homes are now open to the sights and sounds of not just the cemetery, but also Main Street and the gas station across the street.Town Manager Andrew Bisignani put up a stockade fence and planned to install some arborvitaes trees, but the both the Historical Commission and the Tree Committee cried foul.In a letter to the Board of Selectmen, the Historical Commission called the stockade fence inappropriate for the historic property. The Tree Committee had similar feelings about the trees.Tree Committee Chairman Tim Hawkes said the committee would like to see the fence removed and the area repaired simply with plantings. He suggested planting liberty trees, which are a type of elm and pine that would provide year round coverage, but said he would wait to see how the joint meeting played out.Gould said the Cemetery Commission has a working plan, but he declined to share it just yet. He said he would rather have the meeting, let everyone vent and then hammer out the details to put the problem to rest, once and for all.The meeting will be held Monday, Oct. 6 at 6 p.m. in the Town Hall auditorium. Gould said invited guests include the Tree Committee, the Historical Commission, Columbus Street abutters and those that live across the street and Bisignani. He said he also expects several selectmen will also be on hand. The meeting is posted so it is open to the general public as well.
