brad_sk.pdfTerms
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 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.

| Text: | Denied- The house is 137' from the shoreline of Cedar Lake as measured to the NE. It would require a variance approval for that house addition on the east side. There are also some violations that need to be rectified. There are two new sheds on the property that I was not able to find permits for. Part of the septic mound was sheared away back of the garage. That needs to be restored. Refund issued ($450) 10/17/19 Kb |

| Text: | Please call Brad Skahen at 952/292-5981 when going to the site. rec'd passing CI 9/23/19 sw Need passing compliance inspection including tank or certified tank pressure test. Emailed applicant 8/27 sw 8/26/19 Rec'd failing CI dated 8/12/19, see notes in file on tank repair requirements. sw There are many issues here, the biggest of which is that the house is only 135' from the shoreline of Cedar Lake. If the house does not meet the sb requirement of 150', then an addition cannot be added without a variance application approval. The owner has sheered off part of his septic mound on the garage side. There are a couple of new sheds that do not appear to be permitted. Also, Kevin sent them a letter in 2015 about unauthorized shoreline alterations and maintaining a no mow zone in the shore impact zone. It appears they are still mowing in that area. I called Becky about possible wetland clearing behind their pole barn. And finally, are they allowed to use the pole building for commercial use? It appears that they are doing so. BH |
