<br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that Mr. LeBlanc would like the no dumping sign moved <br />from in front of his property. <br /> <br />Mr. Richard Thompson indicated the property was surveyed and things shifted around <br />and fences had to be fixed as lines are in slightly different locations. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee asked if it would be an issue if the no dumping signs came down. <br /> <br />Mr. Thompson indicated that about two years ago the DNR instructed him to stop <br />mowing the grass and said someone was filling the wetland so the no dumping signs were <br />installed. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if there were any ordinance violations right <br />now. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that Mr. LeBlanc filed a complaint regarding outside storage <br />of trailers on July 15, 2003. <br /> <br />Ms. Dentz indicated that even before the lumber was moved both officers indicated that <br />there was no problem with any ordinance vIolations. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked whether the issue with mowing on the other <br />side has been addressed. <br /> <br />Ms. Dentz indicated that they have been mowing across the street for 12 years and prior <br />to that the City did it. She then said that Ordinance 54 governs noxious weeds and <br />someone needs to maintain the property and the City has let the residents do it to save the <br />City Staff time. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked who owns the land. <br /> <br />Mr. Richard Thompson indicated the street is a 50-foot easement so the easement area is <br />approximately 10 to 12 feet on that side of the street. He then indicated that the City of <br />Centerville had been cutting the area but residents took over that responsibility but he <br />stopped when the DNR official told him to stop. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked why Ms. Dentz has not stopped mowing it as <br />requested by the DNR. <br /> <br />Ms. Dentz indicated that she is mowing weeds not aquatic plants and it makes the area <br />more enjoyable for everyone with it mowed. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if Ms. Dentz would stop if the DNR or the <br />landowner tells you to. Ms. Dentz indicated that someone has to maintain that a little bit <br />to control the weeds. <br /> <br />Page 20 of 24 <br />
