Project Description

Please describe your proposed project:
Our parents bought the lake shore  property  on big Sandy and began building our cabin by hand themselves in 1947.  We were raised going up to the cabin as were my brother's and my children. As our families have grown we need a little more space to accommodate family members and to be able to enjoy the cabin  as it was originally intended.   We want to, however, retain the original rustic feeling of this 1947 split log cabin.  Our intention is to  have the addition match the existing structure  as closely as possible in terms of style, siding and color. 

We are proposing to  build an addition on the north side of our existing cabin. It will be a  combined bedroom/bathroom measuring 12 x 18'. Ceiling is 8 feet tall.
We are also proposing to  add on a screen porch on the south side of the existing cabin. This will be a one season porch and non-living space. Dimensions of  the porch are 12' x 14'. Ceiling is 8 feet.  Overall height of bedroom/bathroom addition and screen porch is 15 feet at the tallest point.

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.

Land Use/Septic Terms & Conditions
  • It shall be a violation of the Aitkin County Zoning Ordinance to commence construction before the permit application is approved by Aitkin County.

  • The septic installer shall notify Aitkin County Environmental Services a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours before the covering of any portion of the septic installation. Changes from the approved septic design will require approval by the County prior to construction.

  • 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).

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.
