<~.l,:e "_ d {. .., h':f 1 "','l, ':4\ A !,:~lno... TO: Ms. Kim Moore-Sykes, City Administrator FROM: TeresaBender;\~' SUBJECT: 1540 Peltier Lake Drive - Dead Trees, Excessive Grass Length, Etc. DATE: August 1, 2002 Today, I received a telephone call from a resident who resides on Peltier Lake Drive. The resident requested that the City trim trees along the boulevard of Peltier Lake Drive to allow the unobstructed passing of a motor home to a height of 12 feet and requested that the culvert (road heaving) be repaired or more gradually sloped to prevent vehicles from bottoming out on same. While discussing these issues with the gentleman he questioned the ownership of 1540 Peltier Lake Drive, the capabilities of the owner(s), their willingness to accept assistance in maintenance, etc. I explained that the City has on numerous occasions tried to secure County assistance to no avail due to the unwillingness of the owner to accept same, previous volunteer efforts and Council's most recent desire and concerns for the public and owner(s) health, welfare and safety. The gentleman questioned whether the City would allow neighboring residents/volunteers to assist in a community clean-up effort. The gentleman stated that he would agree to trim & remove trees and felt that many would come together to assist in this effort if allowed to by both the homeowner and the City. The gentleman felt that neighbors, kids, etc. would be willing to participate and same would provide an opportunity for a community based neighbor helping neighbor gesture which may promote others to consider helping those who may be unable to complete such tasks and to ask for assistance. Others have also come forward to volunteer their time to assist this homeowner(s) in cutting the grass, trimming trees and etc.
