| Number of Trees to be removed: | 5 |
| Number of Shrubs to be removed: | 20 |
| Type of Clearing Used?
(Check all that apply) |
Mechanical Clearing |
| Please explain: | Shrub removal is difficult to count as a clump of hazel brush could consist of several stems...estimate is for the SIZ only. Less than 5 live trees were removed within the SIZ (less than 6" DBH). There was a lot of blow down on the top of the hill as you come into the site that had some trees removal. Most of the vegetation removal consisted of dead trees, which were not counted. A few additional living trees outside of the SIZ were removed that were in the way of the garbage/old building removal as well as for access. |

Erosion Control Practices
| Indicate the following erosion control measures that will be used throughout and after your project? (Check all that apply) |
Seeding and/or Mulching |
| If other, please explain: | Much of the erosion from this summer has already been seeding and stabilized using seed/mulch. |
| Describe how you intend to implement this plan and your finished vegetation plan.: |
See attached map for details. The plan is to leave vegetation as is along the shoreline as well as back 75 ft. Aspen regeneration is already occurring. Area along the wetland will remain seeded (except for fill removal areas). Disturbance area (where buildings used to be) will be seeded and stabilized with appropriate erosion control as needed. The current driveway surface will be re-graded to allow drainage to flow north, away from the main wetland. |
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.
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.
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.
