This resolution was duly PASSED and ADOPTED this ,2009, day of Barbara Christensen, City Recorder Signed and Approved on this _ day of June, 2009, John Stromberg, Mayor Approved as to form: Richard AppiceJlo, City Attorney pu ~ ~ lef2/0'l ~~ June 2nd, 2009. I am here to ask for retention of a swath of blackberry bushes adjoining my property at 185 Almeda Drive in Quiet Village. This group of bushes is 74 feet in length, and ten feet wide. My wife and I were approached on June 1 st by a Mr. McFarland of the Parks Department. and later in the day by Mr. McFarland and a representative from the Ashland Fire Department. I was told that the berry bushes would be removed as they were a fire hazard. and noxious weeds. I asked specifically if there was a way around that declaration. I also asked if the City Council could change this decision. The answer was "yes". We have lived on our property for eleven years. each year trimming the bushes at our property line. These bushes have not spread past their present location. The bushes abruptly stop on their East end. and do not continue past this point. There is a small path for animals and people to enter our yard on the East end from the field to the rear of the sewer plant. The bushes provide us, and our neighbors with fresh berries in summer, act as a barrier to traffic in the wetlands. and abate blowing dust into our home and yard. Small animals live in these bushes along with the birds who nest there. Nice! Last year this swath was left standing as per my request. The adjoining area was hand-cut by people from the Work Release Center, and has partially regrown. It is my belief that any tractors or heavy equipment could damage the existing wetlands. see the photographs of cat-tails blooming through the bushes. and other attached photos. My wife says that should the bushes be removed, she was told that "something" would be put on them to keep them from regrowing. That may well be herbicide. In the wetlands! Of course the wetlands drain toward Bear Creek. polluting on its way. The question of fire...From the North, it would have to come through the wastewater plant. from the East. through the field that was just flattened with weed-eaters. from the West through the wetlands, from the South from my yard, cut regularly. There is absolutely no question the City owns the Parklands, and can do what it wants. when it wants. I request the City leave this 74 by 10 foot swath. Thank you for your consideration. John Semple.
