Sept 15, 1971 •.. Page 2 coverage. Evergreen grows better than any other. It was felt that three deep off set or something along this line would be good. It was definitely felt that three sides have tree coverage, especially the side facing the cemetery. All were in agreement. Mr. Cardinal suggested the County Agent be contacted as to what makes good wind break and screening. Some are faster growing, more dense and better noise buffers* The Highway-Dept. is preparing a list of trees that grow well along highways right now. It was suggested we loot at this list at any hearing in the future. It was decided there could be no hard and fast rule, each case must be dealt with individually. Mr. Rehbein moved that they recommend to the Council that they have the County Agent or an appropriate nurseryman confer with them and Molin about appropriate trees that should be planted. Seconded by Mr. Hill, Carried unanimously. Mr. McLean read a Petition, signed by local residents, doted Sept. llth, referring to the problem of hunters, junk and marsh along Marshan Lake & Lane. Mr. Low from One Shot Gun Club, located between Morahan and George Watch Lakes, noted that they use 1/4 mile between these two lakes. Their property is posted. They attempt to have someone there at all times during hunting season. He said t = are trespassers from time to time though, and they are the only ones who == f= get in trouble there. He stated they would be happy to cooperate with any policing of the area. They would welcome any kind of plan to make Marshan Lane a private or semi - private road.

Her husband even had a bullet go past his head while working on the roof of their home. She stated the Lake is so low there just isn't water on it anymore. She and the residents of her area feel it is dangerous. She felt there must be a regulation as to the distance people could hunt from population. She did note that trespassers were a big prob- lem, but something must be done. Mr. McLean questioned why P&Z was being approached with this problem. He felt it was a Council problem. There were several suggestions given to these people. One was that One Shot Gun Club and the residents at the end of Morahan Lane could put up a gate. This would be good for the land and people. Or they all might sign an informal agreement that there be no shooting parallel with the lake. Another thing might be to educate hunters in that area. It was recommended that Mrs. Swanson present her problem and Petition to the Council for further discussion and action. Crystal Ahlmap asked what was now the procedure for making application for a mobile home permit. She was told to check the Zoning Code and Atty. Locher.
