He said the City has an independent legal basis to compel the landowner to reforest <br />and restore the property which has been altered illegally. <br />Jabbour asked the applicant what he would like the Council to do. <br />Luzaich said he wants the Council to approve the plan. <br />Jabbour moved, Peterson seconded, to deny the restoration plan for Application #2492, <br />Rick and Gail Luzaich, 2490 Old Beach Road. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Luzaich said this is the third plan he has submitted. He said from what he can tell, the City <br />wants him to let the weeds on the hill grow wild and plant a mass of trees so he can't see the <br />lake. He asked if that is what the Council wants him to do. <br />Jabbour said no. He asked Weinberger to display the plan the City is proposing. Jabbour said <br />Mr. Luzaich's position was self-imposed.

Kelley said he will <br />not approve a plan that the City's consultant has not approved. <br />Sansevere feels the applicant's plan would be detrimental to the applicant when the trees are. <br />mature. <br />Luzaich said the property is so wide that he would still have a good view. <br />Weinberger said that Mr. Mueller and Dr. Bedker did meet to discuss the plan.
