| Additional info: (optional) |
As mentioned, we had an in-person conversation with Pete Ganzen (8/3/19) regarding this Land Use Application as at the time of building the structures we were not aware a Land Use Application was necessary for a non-utility hunting shack, shed, and outbuilding. We would like to make it right and have an approved Land Use Application on file. A composting toilet (see attached pictures) is used during visits to the property, which is mainly used during the fall months during hunting season. |

Terms
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.
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).
All corners of the proposed structure(s) need to be staked with visible flags, ribbon, or lathes prior to onsite inspection by Aitkin County.
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.
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.

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.

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.
