He encouraged the applicants to maintain <br /> the natural look of their shoreline, in order to avoid the mowed grass shoreline, in the 0-75' <br /> zone. <br /> Stickney reiterated that they've attempted to place restrictive tree covenants within their <br /> policy to do this. <br /> Hawn moved, Acting Chair Mabusth seconded, to recommend approval of <br /> Application #03-2964, Bruce and Kris Paddock and George W. Stickney, 3250 Fox <br /> Street, granting preliminary plat approval with the following stipulations: <br /> 1.
