He informed me that this �aas a reapplica- <br /> � tion f_or completi.ng the dredg�_ng which was previously <br /> . approved and nevcr co�:�pletcd. <br /> � i�her_e seems to bf� �.>���ne qt�c�st.ion l�ere , ho;a�ver. . The <br /> current application and plans indicate a 5fl ' channel <br /> � and the app)_ication approved in 1973 denotes a 25 ' <br /> channel. <br /> � <br /> Tlze pronosed filling is a1 so questi_onab]_e. Gae hav� <br /> � no topo showing existing and proposed grades . The <br /> . proposed filling area indicated on the enclosed <br /> , r;�ap was drawn in free hand in ny office. <br /> � 7n reviewi.ng the history of the previously <br /> , �.p�roved dredging, I found scme documentati_on <br /> that some problems had resulted from some illegal <br /> � filling of wetlands . At that tir,�e, he ���as <br /> instructed to correct the problem, but I find no <br /> � evidence of any report approving any correction <br /> . of this violation (no engineering report) . <br /> � I ar,l enclosing copies of sor.�e of the correspondence <br /> and docur.�entation relating to the original <br /> � application made in 1972 , 1973, and 1974. <br /> r Sta�f - January 12 , 1977 <br /> � I might suggest reports from some of the other <br /> � departrlents as supporting data for action Planning <br /> Commission and Council might take on this proposal. <br /> Planning Commission r7eeting - January 17, 1977 <br /> � <br /> i•fr. Birkeland was present. Planning Cor:u:lission <br /> � very concerned over discrepancy in content of <br /> . application. Current application requesting <br /> approval of dredging of a 50 ' channel sup�osedly <br /> � approved in 1973 , yet old application and DNR <br /> approval stipulates 25 ' channel. Pdr. Bir}�eland <br /> � stated that he did not know where the 25 ' width <br /> car:le from. His plans are to finish the other <br /> � half which was not completed several years ago, <br /> . but would not r:�ake channel any wider than presently <br /> exists. After a lenQhty discussion, the Comr�ission <br /> � requested some additional inforraation from applicant <br /> including engineered dra�•aings and topos of existing <br /> � and proposed elevations and extent of dredging and <br /> filling. Planning Cor,unissi_on felt that the dr_�dging <br /> � r;�aterial should be used to�aard fill around the house <br /> as indicated on the plans. (Continued) <br /> � <br /> � <br /> � <br /> s <br />
