d o/ <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> July 13, 1992 <br /> TO: Neil Bjorklund <br /> FROM: Jack Long <br /> Under the Permitted Uses sections of the draft ordinances for the Natural Resource District, <br /> Waterside Protection Sub - District, and Wetland Buffer Sub - District, the City's Maintenance <br /> Division would like to see the addition of the following maintenance practice. This <br /> allowance would carry equal weighting with the allowance listed for channel maintenance <br /> and would only require minimal language changes between the three ordinances. <br /> — "Mowing or other non - chemical means to provide a perimeter vegetation control strip <br /> between the natural resource and any abutting private property. Such vegetation <br /> control strip will be created only when deemed necessary by the City's Public Works <br /> Director, or his or her designee, and shall be a maximum of 20 feet in width from said <br /> abutting private property." <br /> Such allowance would not be subject to Special Standard A, since this limits removal to <br /> non -native or invasive plants, dead trees, or grass and weeds, nor Special Standard B. <br /> Although it may never be necessary to carry through with the creation of such a vegetation <br /> control zone along abutting property lines, the City may find such a practice necessary or <br /> expedient at some future date. Since all three draft ordinances prohibit any use or practice . <br /> not specified within the ordinance, Maintenance Division feels it necessary to specify an <br /> allowance for such practice in all three ordinances. <br />
