Project Description

Please describe your proposed project:
Outdoor living space with pergola, fireplace, fire pit, paving stone, sitting wall, and two rain gardens to catch paving stone run off. All but 317 sq ft. of hardscape will be past the 100' high water mark. I have been working with Kevin Turnock over the last 1 1/2 months to get this to where It needed to be. No shoreline or tree or plant removal will be done. 67 cubic yards added for paving stone and rain garden installations. Silt fence will be in place. All paving stone will drain into rain gardens.

Terms

General Terms Zoning Permits
  • Defining and staking the property lines, road right-of-ways, septic sites, and wells are the responsibility of the property owner. In some cases, a registered survey may be required to verify setbacks before granting a permit.

  • If you see sections marked in red on the left hand column, you must re-visit those sections and make corrections.

  • To ensure that earth moving and vegetation removal is within ordinance guidelines, and to ensure activity on your property does not negatively impact the lake or other properties, you may be required to provide additional drawings of your site plan.

Land Use/Septic General Terms
  • Zoning permits and Subsurface Sewage Treatment System permits are valid for one (1) year (unless the sewage permit is to upgrade an Imminent Threat to Public Health or Safety system, which is then valid for ten (10) months).

  • If property lines are not clearly marked and visible, then they need to be staked with visible flags, ribbon, or lathes prior to onsite inspection by Aitkin County.

  • It shall be a violation of the Aitkin County Zoning Ordinance to commence construction before the permit application is approved by Aitkin County.

  • The landowner or authorized agent may make application for a zoning permit agreeing to do such work in accordance with all Aitkin County Ordinances. The landowner or authorized agent agrees that the application, site plan, and all other attachments submitted herewith are true and accurate and shall become a part of the permit. The landowner or authorized agent agrees that, in making application for a zoning permit, the landowner grants permission to Aitkin County, at reasonable times, to enter the property to determine compliance of the application with applicable Local, County or State Ordinances or Statutes. It is the applicants sole responsibility to contact other Local, County or State agencies to ensure the applicant has complied with all relevant Local, County or State Ordinances or Statutes.

  • After a complete application is submitted and reviewed, an on-site inspection may be conducted; a permit may be issued describing the proposed construction that may take place on the property. Changes to a project may require a permit application to be resubmitted.

  • Applicants are responsible for getting all applicable entrance permits from the appropriate road authority.
