Clearing and grading is allowed in this area.  The HOA needs to come up with a long term plan for the silt problem, so that the dredging is not required every 12-15 years.  Do not disturb any currently vegetated areas.  The variance should ask for a minimal amount of disturbance. 8) New business—None 9) Old business— a) 14250 Birmingham Highway follow up—Sound proofing Comments:  The applicant added padding under the hammer, and added insulation to the building.
