( #10) #2082 RICHARD STARK, 575 OXFORD ROAD: VACATION OF EASEMENT - RESOLUTION #3654 AFTER THE -FACT VARIANCE - RESOLUTION #3655 Mabusth noted that the property is located in the Stielow addition with an existing drainage easement. The applicant was not aware of the Conservation and Flowage Easement and did not know he was unable to remove trees located in the 0 -75' setback from the lake. Staff looked at the lakeshore yard and felt the original easement was too ambitious. The applicant was asked for a new wetland delineation. Gustafson reviewed and confirmed the new location, which is about half of the original size. Mabusth informed the Council that 10 trees had been removed in the 0 -75' setback zone. i Area deemed "A" is the land covered under the new conservation easement. 10 trees were removed in this area. "B" is the remaining area covered under the original Conservation and Flowage Easement. 12 trees were removed in this area. Mabusth noted that about half of the removed trees were dead or diseased. The trees were selectively removed as some were too near other trees. Mabusth reported that the Planning Commission asked for equal replacement. 5 trees will be replaced in area "A ", which is in the wetland delineation. No replanting will occur in "B ", which is not in the wetland area. Goetten asked that the replanted trees be appropriate to the area. Mabusth said the applicant originally was going to replant with evergreen and fruit trees. It was suggested that the landscaper determine the replacements suitable for the wetland area. Callahan was informed by the applicant that he had received the packet information and was in agreement with its findings. Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to adopt Resolution #3654 vacating original conservation easement and to adopt Resolution #3655 after- the -fact variance. Goetten received confirmation that a double fee for the after- the -fact variance was paid. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. 10 f.�
