Staff conducted a site visit on October 7th and observed the following: 1. Tree Removal. According to a submitted Tree Log dated 5-19-16 approximately 8 trees were removed and other vegetation clear cut from the property,some of which were within the protected area 75 feet from the OHWL. Tree removal was verified by a site inspection. According to City Code Section 78-1285 trees 6-inches in diameter or greater within 75 feet of the lake are protected and a permit is required from the City for removal. I have attached the received Tree Log for your reference. 2. Grading and Filling Activity. It appears there has been recent grading and filling activity within the 10-foot lake access easement on the southern 10 feet of your property. This is the easement area we discussed previously in our office. Some of the grading and filling occurred within 75 feet of the lake and within 5 feet of the southerly lot line requiring City approvals.According to City Code Sections 78-967 and 78-1286 a permit is required for this activity. Please complete and submit the attached Zoning Permit application with a survey and grading plan detailing the recent activity. Please provide a cubic yard calculation(please separate into a total calculation and a calculation within the 75-foot setback). 3. Erosion Control. During the site inspection we observed areas of erosion and un-stabilized soil. We also observed a small amount of seed germinating but was inadequate to protect and stabilize the soil. The exposed areas must be immediately seeded and the slopes covered with an erosion blanket or other similar method. 4. Fencing. Fence posts and welded wire fencing have been installed the �ength of the property, I assume to define the 10 foot lake access easement area. The fence posts extend to the lake. Additionally, there are four PVC posts which appear to also have been recently installed within the 75-foot setback from the lake. According to City Code Section 78-1279 fencing within 75-feet of the lake is prohibited, and must be removed. Posts do constitute "fencing".
