The meeting was reconvened at 8:30 P.M. <br />FRATTALONE Frank Frattalone appeared before the Council requesting <br />BURNING approval of a burninq permit for approximately 3000 <br />PERMIT Centerville Road. Frattalone reported that he has <br />discussed the permit with Phil Vieth of the DNR who <br />indicated that there may be sawmills interested in some <br />of the materials. Frattalone reported that a saw mill <br />has contacted him and expressed some interest. <br />Frattalone stated that he did not support leaving the <br />property open to the public to come in and take wood <br />out. However, he will cut and stack wood for <br />collection by a sawmill. Therefore, Frattalone <br />requested the burning permit on the basis that he will <br />make whatever suitable wood there is available to a <br />sawmill. If the City feels the wood should be <br />available to the general public, Frattalone suggested <br />that he move it and stack it on the City's park land. <br />Pedersen asked the size pieces a sawmill would be <br />interested in. <br />Frattalone replied that sawmills are looking for 5 inch <br />or larger diameter, and 5 to 6 foot lengths which are <br />straight. Frattalone reported that a lot of the wood <br />is twisted and would not meet this criteria. <br />Pedersen asked if it were possible to chip the wood <br />rather than burn it. <br />Frattalone estimated it would cost $12,000 to $15,000 <br />to chip the wood, therefore, he preferred to burn it. <br />Fahey pointed out that the DNR must approve the permit, <br />as well as the City. Fahey stated that good wood <br />should be removed from the site before any burning <br />17 <br />
