Hearing no public comments Mayor Stockamp closed the Public Hearing at 7:16 PM. CM Darkenwald
asked if this needed to be brought back to the wild and scenic since the orginal plat was back in 2006.
City Planner Licht said no all the entitlements where established with the preliminary plat and as a
phased development; as long they are platting the same outlot and the same configuration it's really just
a city zoning issue not a wild and scenic. CM Warehime asked if the DNR has to weigh in on this. City
Planner Licht said the DNR only has comment on the preliminary plat not the final plat. He explained the
DNR only has review and comment they don't have the ability to approve or deny. CM Warehime also
asked about the outlots that touch the river and them having to be maintained as a wild and scenic lot;
if a homeowner decides to brush cut to take down a bunch of stuff does that become a City issue or a
wild and scenic issue. City Planner Licht said it becomes both; the wild and scenic is under the zoning
ordinance with the intent the City enforces it.
