The City requires a staff permit prior to construction of such facilities. No live tree within 75 feet of the shoreline with a diameter of six inches or more (or 19 inches in circumference) measured 3 feet above the ground may be removed without first obtaining a permit from the City staff provided that at least a like number of replacement trees of a size and nature found acceptable to the staff are planted. Appeals of staff determinations as to type, size and quality of the trees to be replaced will be to the Planning Cosinission and Council. (Source Ordinance 26, 2nd Series adopted July 14, 1986 as revised in this draft) Clear cutting of vegetation on riparian lots within 75 feet of the shoreline is prohibited without a permit from the City staff. No cutting will be allowed which reduces screening of motor vehicles, dwellings and other structures when viewed from the lakes.
