Mrs. Dixon requested that the resident find out from the • <br />DNR what dimensions they will permit, draft up a plan, <br />and present it to the committee. <br />The resident asked if he could have any size or materials <br />approved by the DNR which would not be approved by the <br />HPC. Mr. Oxian stated that we needed a plan to approve. <br />Mr. Herendeen stated that no reasonable plan would be <br />denied, but the- HPC: must, review it(,under the guidelines <br />of the District. <br />Mr. Blair (the resident) mentioned that he had requested <br />that the owner (Kevin Smith) not proceed with the plans, <br />approved by the HPC, to install a pipe railing along the <br />top of the boat launch. Mr. Oxian stated that the reason <br />a pipe railing was decided upon was that Mr. Smith originally <br />did not want to install any type of barrier between the <br />street level and the launch. He further stated that the <br />Commission did not want a possible law suit if someone <br />fell over the edge and hurt themselves on the launch which <br />was approved by the HPC. <br />A citizen asked what was to stop a citizen from falling <br />anywhere along the shoreline. Mr. Oxian pointed out that <br />the HPC has had nothing to do with any other shoreline <br />in the district except for those which had b EP"'brought <br />before the Commission for Certificates of Appropriateness. • <br />Mr. Blair asked that if he planted a hedge or shrub of <br />approximately 3ft., would that be acceptable. Mr. Oxian <br />stated that the Commission had suggested shrubbery originally <br />but the owner did not approve that suggestion. Mr. Herendeen <br />suggested that the owner make a written proposal, complete <br />with drawings, and the Commission will review it. <br />2. 615 Edgewater <br />The owner requests permission to install a deck along <br />the river bank, constructed of landscaping timbers, as <br />per the drawings submitted. The plans include a retaining <br />wall of the same material. The plan would fall with the <br />lay of the land. Mr. Oxian discussed the plan with the <br />owner, reviewing the drawing submitted. The shoreline <br />would not change, according to the owner, but the retaining wall <br />would be built up against the slope of the shore. <br />Mr. Eide reviewed the drawing while Mrs. Choitz asked <br />about protective barriers similar to those required of <br />619 Edgewater (see 1. above). The owner stated that they <br />would be happy to continue whatever 619 Edgewater installs <br />as a barrier. <br />0 <br />
