136 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 26, 1993 He said he has not inspected the site. Ms. Ostergren stated that the property was not inspected by Mr. Kluegel until March 30, 1993. At that time another resident was at the site and Mr. Kluegel asked her if there had been any excavation. Ms. Ostergren said that she then called Mr. Kluegel and asked him why he went to the outlots. He said he was sent to take pictures and asked if the ramps were transported over City streets. She told him that no road restrictions were violated. Ms. Ostergren said that Mayor Reinert had told her that his wife and daughter had visited the model home in Reshanau Parks Estates and were told by the salesperson that there would be a boat launch for the Association members. She asked why he did not take action at that time if he thought that this was in violation of the plat approval? Ms. Ostergren said at the April 21, 1993 Council work session it was stated that the Association was in violation of the permitting process and the City would take action against them. There was a lengthy discussion regarding this matter including how long the Association should be given to remove the boat launch. From this discussion it appeared that the removal of the boat launch was a life or death situation. On April 22, 1993 Ms. Ostergren contacted Pete Kluegel, Building Official and asked him how the Association could get a permit from the City for the boat launch. Mr. Kluegel told her that the DNR has control over this matter. Ms. Ostergren said that the Association did have a permit and Mr. Kluegel asked her what was the problem. Ms. Ostergren asked Mr. Kluegel what would happen if someone was in violation by not having a permit. Mr. Kluegel told her that he would have them apply for a permit. She asked Mr. Kluegel what would happen if someone constructed a deck without a permit. Mr. Kluegel said he would write to the homeowner and ask them to apply for a permit within 30 days or so. Ms. Ostergren felt it was amazing that the City has a different procedure for the Association. Ms. Ostergren said that the City has stated that the Association must go through a PDO rezoning for the outlots. The PDO process was not adopted until July 13, 1992. However, the Association had applied for their permits from the DNR, ACORP and the RCWD in April, 1992 and commenced the construction in June, 1992. She noted that Council Member Neal had trespassed on the property and stopped the work by having the Police Department put up police tape to prevent further work. On March 31, 1993 Ms. Ostergren spoke with Officer Keller who stated that the only reason police tape was put up was because Council Member Neal had instructed them to do so. Normally police tape is used when there is a PAGE 5
