and amendments theretot the Shoreland Zoning Act of 1974 and other
flood related matters. Also making a presentation to the Council
under this agenda item was Mr. Tom Angell. Much of the discussion
hinged on the question of whether or not the location of the
Vermillion River as it relates to the Reisinger property is
correctly shown on the zoning map. It was agreed by all during
the course of this discussion that if the river is not correctly
shown, that a proper relocation of the river would still keep
it within the F-1 floodway district. Mrs. Sprute stated that she
had conducted a study of the various laws and ordinances in conjunction
with this matter and had concluded that the City needs more stringent
and comprehensive controls over development. There was no action by
the Counci I .
