Crawford stated they were living there in 1987 when the City received that terrible <br />rainstorm storm and that their whole front yard went down into the lake. The neighbors would be very <br />much in support of the patio. <br />Franchot commented in his opinion the City Council's hands are tied and that at the present time he does <br />• not see an answer to the problem. <br />Bremer moved, McMillan seconded, to deny Application #10 -3477, John Roedel, 4725 North Shore <br />Drive. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. , <br />• <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br />McMillan stated she attended the Long Lake public hearing on the police issue, and that one thing that <br />jumped out at her was the fact that the reserve officers are part of the community and that the reserve <br />officers help to strengthen the community. One of the Long Lake Council members had also commented <br />that there is not much crime in Long Lake, which is in large part due to the prevention efforts by the <br />police department. <br />McMillan reported that Gabriel Jabbour accompanied Renae Clark out to Big Island to look at the <br />vegetation and riprap. The vegetation is filling in nicely at the park and the trails look good. The public' <br />works employees will be out there next week to help with some minor cleanup on Big Island. McMillan <br />stated the Big Island Committee will need to finish the management report. <br />CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT <br />Kellogg reported that the McCulley Road guardrail project has been completed.
