the proponent is requesting a 10 lot subdivision for the 6.3 acre site, with Lot

reviewed two alternative road plclns for the plat, with the Community Develop-
and Planning Commission favoring (on a split vote) th& plan under which Shannon
Drive would run thru the plat and the developer favoring a two cul-de-sac
approach.
ported the cul-de-sac because
on the bottom of Antrim Circle, it would solve the problem of too much traffic on
Shamon Drive and would be more aesthetically pleasing. Petitions were submitted
EO the Council on which nieghbors objected to the extensinn of Shanma Drive to
intersect with htrim Road and expressing their desire that a cul-de-sac be
located at the North end of Shannon Drive. Mr. Philip F. Boelter, 7109 Shannon
Drive, referred Eo a letter which he sent to the Council, ad-ilsing that the
90% corner is a concern as far as safety is concerned, and also pointirig out that
the degree of the slope in the street preserits a safety hazard.
also expressed cmcern that,if the street is cut thru, it might be used as a by-
pass from AntrFn Road to miss the stop sign.
Courtney offered the following resolution granting preliminary plat approval for

that there is ncw a probicni with muskrats on Lalceview Dri.ve .a<well as with
beaTiers In tiw Pamela Park area of the City. Mr. Cal R. Coivin, 5920 Halifax
Avef , spokcsnxm for fialifax”h&n&e- reside&; saic! that besvers‘ have catised
the area to look like “tornado alley”, that wild life is being destroyed by the
flooding conditions and that there ‘have been two power outages because trees
have fallen on power lines. He emphasized that the condition is dangerous for
children and requested that the City clean up the fallen trees in the area.
Mr. Ray Buckman, 5908 Halifax Ave., said that he has seen as many as four
beavers at once and joined Nr. Colvin in urging the City to pass ordinances
which would permit trapping to alleviate the nuisance. Speaking in opposition
to the proposed ordinances was Mrs. Nancy Nelson, 5854 Creek Valley Road, who
commended Council’s past action and urged that the ordinance amendments not be
adopted. She suggested that the City continue to use live traps and that the
animals either be relocated to a zoo or that they.be euthanized. Mr. James.
Mulkowski, Executive Director of Dodge Nature Center, sugge$ted that only one
licensed trapper be retained by the City, but that he could not do the work him-
self. The Mayor advisedthat he also shared the concern for the animals but that
residents must have their rights protected, and that the City Nanager should be
able to use his discretion as to what type of trap to use. Mrs. Nelson suggested .
that the ordinance amendment should provide that the work must be done by a
licensed trapper, that only nuisance animals are to be trapped, that trapping
must be done for non-commercial purposes and that the pelts should be turned over
to the City or the Department of Natural Resources and not be sold. No further
discussion being heard, Councilman Bredesen then offered the following ordinance .
