PETITIONS FROM PUBLIC 106440 - Krizek/Jordan that communication from City Clerk transmitting request of Gary Rankin, Young Plumbing & Heating, for an exception to burning of yard waste to burn creek bottom vegetation, assorted grasses and woody plants on property located in the creek area from east of West Fourth Street to Ridgeway Avenue from between Kingswood Place and Pinehurst Lane, together with recommendation of denial of Superintendent of Parks and Fire Chief, be received, placed on file and request be denied. Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Gary Rankin, 1470 Oakcrest, identified the area he is requesting to burn as the creek bottom running alongside several properties between West Fourth Street and Ridgeway Avenue. He is requesting the burn to eliminate weeds and shrubs which are impeding the waterflow. This has created a backup of water during heavy rainfalls. The water is backing up onto Fourth Street and overflowing the sanitary sewer system. Rankin contacted the properties owners of Kingswood Place and Quail Valley Apartments and they have given their approval of the proposed burn. Councilperson Krizek informed Mr. Rankin that the request was discussed with the Fire and Parks department staff. It has been suggested that individuals ordered to community service could be utilized for this project. Juvenile Court Services can be contacted for persons that might be available for this type of work. Fire Chief Magsamen recommended denial of this burn because of the lack of controlled area and the proximity to residences. He agreed to work with Mr. Rankin if the area was thinned and product to be burned was cut into size which complies with the City's burning policy. Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. 106441 - Anders/Collier that communication from Assistant City Engineer transmitting request of Aspro, Inc. and Subsidiaries for a variance of Chapter 25.5 of the Noise Control Ordinance from April 9, 1996 to December 1, 1996 in conjunction with F.Y. 1996 Street Reconstruction Program, Contract No. 501, and F.Y. 1995 Street Reconstruction Program, Contract No. 473, together with recommendation of approval, be received, placed on file and "Resolution approving said request", be adopted.
