Project Description

Please describe your proposed project.:

I am proposing to clear approximately an area 50 foot long by 15 foot wide path from the shore towards the house to make room line to the water to make a walking path and a dock. - and then from there, another approximate 50 foot long by 8 foot walking path to this area to create both a walking area with room to haul the docks to water, and a view corridor from the upland.

Vegetation Removal

Number of Trees to be removed:	30
Number of Shrubs to be removed:	2

Type of Clearing

Please select all that apply:

Mechanical Clearing

Hand Clearing

Please explain:

A chainsaw will be used to remove the trees and heavy duty weed whip along with week rake for the part under water.  for the land close to the water delineation, hoping we could use a an ATV to help clear path. There is also hand pruning to be done.  We want to keep as many mature trees as possible and design the path to go around them. We are interested in removing the nuisance brush and some of the small and dead trees.

Additional Info

Additional Info (optional):

We have two lots, just want to clear a reasonable path to the water that will be wide enough to bring the docks in and out each year.  We enjoy the trees and only will take out what is needed to make the clearing areas.

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.
