Council member says developer will address soil erosion affecting cemetery
Summary
A council member reported soil eroding from a nearby development into a cemetery and said the developer installed temporary plastic fencing and agreed to work with the city to address landscaping and erosion.
A council member told the Lowell City Council that soil from a nearby development has been eroding into a local cemetery and that he had contacted the developer, who responded by installing temporary plastic fencing and expressing willingness to work with the city.
"The soil was eroding from the development down into the cemetery," the council member said, adding that he informed city staff about his findings and that the developer "was more than willing to talk to me" and "willing to work with us and be good stewards to the city." The council member said the site has not yet sold and that the homeowner is responsible for landscaping.
The report was raised during council comments; council members said the situation was moving in the right direction after the developer's initial response. No formal enforcement action or permit changes were recorded in the transcript.
