#677 Gregory/Duff <br />Page 2 <br />Subdivision <br />Gregory plans to place no trespassing signs along Smiths Bay <br />and attempt the same type signage along the edge of railroad <br />right of way. A defined parking lot whether it is controlled <br />by the County or the City in an area where there is no public <br />access for the fisherman is not feasible. I would like the <br />Planning Commission to address the following: <br />1 - How effective will no trespassing signs be in this <br />situation - Do you have any other ideas?? <br />2 -What about riparian outlots with docks on Smiths <br />Bay given the existing situation? <br />3 -Do you agree that the fisherman should be encouraged <br />to fish elsewhere? <br />4 - Do you feel there is a need of some kind for a public <br />controlled area in the existing parking area? <br />Riparian Outlots <br />Berg has asked that Planning Commission not limit dock use <br />to Tanager Lake for Lot 4. He contends that if a future owner <br />has a large boat or sail boat that it could never clear the <br />Tanager Bridge. Limit lot 4 to one dock but give owner a <br />choice of which bay he wants to use. <br />Septic Review <br />I have enclosed Gaffron's memo reviewing the septic test data <br />received as of this date. Exhibit B - clearly, it is not adequate. <br />I suspect the limitations on this property created by the <br />excessive wetlands, low areas, poor soils make up, slope <br />problems - you name it - may result in a 3 lot instead of a <br />4 lot plat. The additional septic testing will decide that <br />sometime later in the spring. <br />I think it is very important that we impress upon the owners' <br />attorneys and/or agents that a preliminary plan must satisfy <br />all setback, area, width, etc. standards of the LR-IA zoning <br />district and not to satisfy the demands or desires of their <br />clients. <br />I would advise members to get out on the site before you make <br />any recommendations. Drive into the Gregory's driveway down <br />to the new garage and then up the hill to the caretaker house. <br />Remember that none of the area as you enter on the right side <br />of the road is suitable for septic systems (Exhibit C). The <br />low area to the immediate left is a designated wetlands. The <br />remaining high area to the west and south consists of heavy <br />clay and steep slopes - remember also that heavy clays mean <br />mounds and mounds can't bo constructed in areas with greater <br />than 6% slope. Now seek out 4 house sites. <br />---
