Big Island Roadways <br /> October 22,2003 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Also enclosed are City Ordinances regarding tree removal and wetland impacts.Be advised <br /> that grading or filling within wetlands,or within 26'of wetlands protected by City ordinances <br /> and State regulations is prohibited. Removal of any tree 6" or greater in diameter located <br /> within 75' of the lake requires a permit from the City, and intensive vegetation clearing <br /> within 75' of the shoreline or in bluff areas is prohibited. <br /> Continued actions by Island property owners which result in damage to public or private <br /> property, are not acceptable and must cease immediately. The recent abuses suggest that <br /> greater regulation of the use of right-of-ways may be necessary. City staff will continue <br /> monitoring activity on the Island. You are encouraged to make your thoughts on this topic <br /> known to the City. <br /> Please contact the City at 952-249-4600 if you have any questions or to apply for the <br /> necessary approvals if you want to make changes to the right-of-ways, or if you need to <br /> remove a protected tree near the shoreline. As of this writing,the City has issued no permits <br /> for tree cutting within right-of-ways on the Island. The current,apparently ongoing,activity <br /> to open new travel corridors within right-of-ways or on private property has not been <br /> authorized by the City and must cease immediately. <br /> Sincerely, Ax,/ <br /> 14,,pr <br /> Michael P.
