We do not support the adoption of Rule D without. <br /> `��'"''""�`�"���""�`"�` resolution of these two issues, <br /> 1) Section 4(c} of the rule is repeated here: <br /> " 4.BUFFER. <br /> (c)A permanent wetland buffer monument shall be installed at each <br /> lot line where it crosses a wctland bufPer,and where needed to indicate <br /> thc contour of the buffer,with a maximum spacing of l Od feet. <br /> Language shall indicate the purpose of the buffer,restrictions,and the <br /> name and phone number of the Minnehaha Creek Watershcd District. <br /> The installation of Qermanent markers on MPRB property every 100 feet <br /> would create safety hazards to park users,maintenance obstacles,blots on <br /> historic landscapes, and erode the viewing aesthetics of our parks. We <br /> fell it is inappropriate to require these monurnents on public property and <br /> rr�r.��t�,r, object strongly to this section of the rule. <br /> :CohaiGnFin <br /> N'���''��"`f""' It is unclear to us the justification of this blanket requirement.
