Mattick stated in his opinion it is not the intention <br />of the Council to allow retaining walls in the 0-75 foot zone. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if the City Attorney would like to draft some language prior to adopting the ordinance. <br /> <br />Mattick stated the Council could approve the draft as written with the direction that that language be <br />clarified. Mattick noted the ordinance would come back before the Council for final approval. <br /> <br />McMillan noted the local newspapers have not covered the City’s work on the hardcover ordinance and <br />that she would like Staff to put together something that can be submitted to the newspapers.

The weather has <br />been favorable and once the work gets past Smith Avenue things should progress more quickly. As it <br />concerns the 2012 mill and overlay plan, the contractor was out last week and performed the crack filling <br />on all the seal coat roads, which include Old Long Lake Road, Ferndale Green, Chevy Chase and Spring <br />Hill Road. The contractor was out this morning replacing some of the sanitary sewer manhole covers in <br />those areas. By the end of the week the contractor will perform the oil and rock placement. The rock will <br />remain in place for approximately one week and then they will come back and sweep up the excess. The <br />mill and overlay projects will be moving forward until the end of September. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 09/24/2012 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 09/10/2012 <br />[Page 11 of 26]
