City Council Representative <br />Bob Sansevere was present. <br />Acting Chair Smith called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. <br />OLD BUSINESS: PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />(#1) #2569 W. DUNCAN MACMILLAN AND WILLIAM WALDRON, 1860 FOX STREET, <br />AFTER-THE-FACT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, 6:31 p.m. - 6:43 p.m. <br />Mark Vlev^eau, Caretaker for the Applicants, appeared. <br />Weinberger stated the City became aware in February or March that there had been excavation <br />of a pond iocated on 1700 Fox Street. The pond was actually constructed by the property <br />owner to the south in a cooperative effort between the two property owners. The survey indicates <br />the pond is actually located across the east property line, writh Craigbank Associates being the <br />owner of the second property this pond has impacted. <br />Weinberger staled an after-the-fact conditional use permit Is required, with no variance being <br />necessary for the pond since it is not located within a City protected wetland. Weinberger noted <br />some portions of the wetland are possibly iocated within an area considered to be Type I wetlands, <br />which does require a wetland permit. Typically the Watershed District will review these <br />applications following preliminary approval by the City. <br />Weinberger stated since the land alteration is greater than 500 cubic yards and the dredging <br />occurred over a property line, a conditional use permit Is required. Weinberger indicated since <br />the area has been dredged and not filled, the pond will not impact drainage in the area. Should <br />the City approve the conditional use permit, the wetland shall be subject to a protective covenant <br />Page 1
