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