JOHN HANNER, SHORELAND PERMIT FOR FILL at 8151 Hill Trail North: City Engineer, Larry Bohrer, reported that more than 30% of the lot was devoid of vegetation at the present time. He said some fill had already been placed below the normal ordinary high water mark. Hamner explained that he was trying to level the lot, the fill is not going into the lake bed proper, and that if the fill were spread evenly over his lot, it would amount to a depth of less than 22 inches. Mr. Hanner wants to place up to 300 yards of fill on Lots 790-797 and 858- 865 of Lanes Demontreville Country Club. Bohrer indicated that fill above 931 would not affect the lake; and the amount proposed to go below 931 was insignificant. Hanner indicated he wanted to fill so more substanital vegetation would grow on his lot. The Council agreed that the City needs a policy of filling below the normal high water mark for property that is not in the lake bed. Pott moved, seconded by Morgan, to grant a Shoreland Permit to Mr. John Hanner to place no more than 300 yards of fill on Lots 790-797 and 858-865 of Lanes Demontreville Country Club providing the ridge that separates the filled area and the lake is not disturbed; and provided that Mr. Hanner secures permits from the Valley Branch Watershed District and the Minnestoa Department of Natural Resources. Motion carried 4--0-1. Novak abstained. ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. LEGION POND: Bohrer explained that it would be fairly easy to secure permits to pump Legion Pond; but difficult to obtain a permit to dredge.
