34 Member Spencer asked when there is a vacant lot, who is responsible for keeping 35 down the weeds and mowing. He noted there is a lot down the street on South 36 McCarrons where a prof ect to build a house went sideways and the structure had to 37 be torn down and now there are just weeds there. 38 39 Mr. Culver indicated generally speaking, whoever owns the lot is responsible for 40 maintaining the vegetation as if there is a house there. There is an Ordinance for 41 this in the city. He explained he was not sure what the current owner status is with 42 the lot on South McCarron because it was basically in foreclosure and the city had 43 some interest in it but those meetings were behind closed doors so he was not privy 44 to the information and what is going on. He noted staff will follow up on this to 45 find out who is responsible. 46 47 Member Hammer indicated she was interested to learn more about the basin going 48 in on Brenner. 49 i 50 Mr. Culver reviewed the progress and plans with the Commission. He noted a lot 51 of trees were removed and the city has a pretty aggressive landscaping plan for the 52 lot. 53 54 Member Cicha indicated he was curious about the iron enhanced sand and 55 wondered if it had a life span to it. 56 57 Mr. Culver indicated the sand does need to be recharged but was not sure how often. 58 59 Mr. Freihammer explained Roseville installed on Williams Street, by Lake 60 McCarrons one of the first enhanced ones about 12 years ago and in 2019 the city 61 did its first refresher of the sand where the city re -segregated the sand to break it up 62 a little bit but did not have to add any filings yet. That is actually one of the test 63 sites to see what the life expectancy is but it is anticipated that at some point 64 additional iron will need to be added to the sand. He figured it was roughly atwenty 65 year life span. 66 67 Member Huiett indicated she just recently visited Langton Lake and the water did 68 not appear to be very high quality and thought she could use some more education. 69 She noted the interpretive signage was very nice. She thought it would be 70 interesting to learn about the evolution and what has been happening at that lake. 71 72 Mr. Culver explained Langton Lake is challenging because it is very shallow, 73 especially during the hot weather. He noted the lake also gets a lot of runoff and 74 does have some substantial algae blooms in it. 75 76 Chair Wozniak asked about the Partners in Energy application. 77 78 Mr. Culver indicated staff has not heard anything yet. The applications were due 79 in July and were submitted prior to the deadline. Page 2 of 4
