founds View City Council April 23, 1990 <br />Regular Meeting Page Two <br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />Ms. Saarion reviewed the improvements made to Lakeside <br />Park, Silver View Park, Hillside Park, Oakwood Park <br />and Greenfield Park. She also advised picnic and <br />recreation kits are available for loan from the Park <br />and Rec department. <br />Mayor Hankner closed the regular meeting and opened <br />the public hearing at 7:46 PM. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Minetor explained <br />the White Oak Homeowners Association has requested a <br />wetland alteration permit for general yard mainte- <br />nance, including mowing, trimming trees, filling in <br />depressions, gardening and harvesting vegetables. <br />Everything they have been doing, and are requesting <br />to continue to do, would be impacted by the wetlands <br />ordinance. Staff has reviewed the code and <br />would like the Council's interpretation of this. <br />Mr. Minetor reported the group has requested autho- <br />rity to treat White Oak Pond with chemicals, which <br />has to be reviewed by the DNR. <br />Mr. Minetor explained the majority of the requested <br />items are minor and he feels the Council can waive <br />• some of the requirements in relationship to single <br />family homes. He added these items should have very <br />little impact on the wetlands. <br />Marcia Varaniak, 2523 Woodcrest, read a prepared <br />statement, referring to the group's articles of <br />incorporation adopted in 1970. She stated they <br />should not be required to get a permit and pay a <br />fee. <br />Ms. Varaniak presented a picture of the back yard <br />at 5114 Long Lake Road, noting the entire rear <br />yard is in the buffer zone, thereby restricting <br />that entire back yard from any upkeep or mainte- <br />nance. She requested the Council grant the permit <br />and reconsider the practicality of the buffer zone <br />restrictions for this. <br />Mayor Hankner explained they are considerng <br />changes to the wetlands ordinance, and will be <br />holding a first meeting on May 9 at 7 PM, to <br />review the wetlands ordinance. Attorney Meyers, <br />who was instrumental in the writing of the original <br />ordinance, will be present at that meeting. <br />6.
