ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - February 9, 2009 7 City Attorney Filla stated that the adjacent property owners were responsible for the boulevard portion of the public right-of-way. Councilmember Grant asked if public property would include areas such as County or State owned property. City Attorney Filla stated that a letter should take care of the problem if it were the County or State's property. Councilmember Grant stated that it was the expectation of this section that a letter to the appropriate agency would fix the problem. City Attorney Filla stated that the City had no authority over the State but did have the same authority over the County as it does with other property owners. Councilmember Holden asked for clarification regarding the mowing that was done on some of the trails since the trails were only cleared for about three feet on either side. City Attorney Filla stated that the ordinance would apply to the City as well as private property owners. Councilmember Holden asked how this ordinance would address the mounds of dirt that accumulated during a construction project if that project were abandoned or the mounds of dirt are left after the project is complete. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated that a mound of dirt would be a separate issue and handled by the Erosion and Sediment Code or if a person started a project without the proper permits it would be a violation of the City's ordinance but not necessarily a public nuisance. City Attorney Filla stated that the listing of nuisances in this ordinance was not meant to be all inclusive and the City could add or remove what they felt was needed. The listing that is contained in the document was taken from a model and is not intended to be all inclusive. Councilmember Grant asked if the word "peace" in the first sentence of Section 602.04 references the previous section.
