The <br />development of boat landings, access points, scenic overlooks <br />or terraces should be done in such a way as to avoid <br />obstructing the view of the river and its banks. <br />Prohibited: <br />In erosion control efforts to preserve the riverbank, poured <br />concrete, concrete slabs, concrete building blocks or other <br />unsightly material shall not be used. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The staff recommends that the owner be permitted to construct the <br />deck, pending approval from the state Department of Natural <br />Resources, providing that the deck is not readily visible from <br />the street. Owner will be required to provide proof of approval <br />from DNR prior to receiving signed Certificate of <br />Appropriateness. <br />
