Project Description

Please describe your proposed project:
Would like to correct work previously done by Landsburg under permit 39923 issued 9/13/13. Landsburg indicated only moved 2/3 of dirt was moved and as permitted under the original permit. In addition, we did not install nor plan to install Gazebo lakeside.

Unfortunately the 5ft access path installed to the lake does not end in a safe spot (too high) and was installed at too steep of a grade. The current path is not safe nor useable.

We would like to work with Keith Nelson from Aitkin to: (1) correct by installing a 5 ft. path switchback 2/3 of way down toward the lake to redirect path to lower and safer access point to the lake and (2) soften the steepness/incline/grade by starting the path about 10 ft. 12 ft. more in the yard.

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.
