• <br />MINUTES OF A REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD APRIL 12, 1993 <br />ZONING FILE #1804 — CONT. <br />Mayor Callahan clarified that the applicant has agreed to plant the <br />shrubs or trees along the east side lot line. <br />Revier stated he agrees to the plantings and does not object to <br />inclusion of such in the resolution. <br />Goetten amended her motion to include a statement in the resolution <br />regarding the installation of trees along the lot line screening <br />the drive. Kelley seconded. Ayes 4, nays 1. Hurr voted nay. <br />( #11) FOREST ARMS ASSOCIATION - SILTATION PROBLEM <br />Mr. Norman and Mr. Lange were present. <br />Gaffron explained the Homeowners Association is currently working <br />with the LMCD trying to adjust two slips of their joint use dock <br />in order to use them. These slips have been rendered unusable due <br />to sediment washed down from the storm sewer. The Association has • <br />requested the City clean out this area, and it has been determined <br />that may cost $10,000 to $30,000. It is also felt that there is a <br />substantial area of the neighborhood contributing to this sediment <br />accumulation. <br />Jim Lange, 970 Forest Arms Lane, explained they have applied to the <br />LMCD to reconfigure the joint dock to allow all docks to face out <br />thus eliminating the need to remove the sediment. That request has <br />been denied. The Association feels the problem has occurred in part <br />due to the structural design of the storm sewer. <br />Hurr understood that the Association was requesting from the LMCD <br />approval for enlarging the slips, which cannot be granted as the <br />joint use is a non - conforming dock. <br />Lange said that was an incorrect interpretation. <br />Mayor Callahan clarified that they need only decide if and who <br />should make application to the DNR to remove the siltation. <br />Goetten said she could not authorize a City expenditure for <br />maintaining two private slips. She said she would like to see <br />additional information on the history of this situation and the <br />minutes from the LMCD meetings. <br />Kelley noted homeowners associations are created to accept • <br />responsibility of maintenance. He felt the Association should make <br />the application to the DNR. <br />0 <br />
