[ Search Result Limit: Project Description
| Please describe your proposed project: | Respectfully request the following to address the current shoreline issues: 1) Shore erosion - 56 feet of rip rap of 3 feet in depth to areas that have demonstrated considerable shoreline erosion. 2) Dock and boat ramp ingress/egress - 14 feet of a ramp (gradual grade) to the OHWL to allow for dock and boat ramp transportation. Currently there is a 3-4 feet drop from the OWHL to the water level. The 14 feet of grade will be between the areas of rip rap to prevent erosion of the ramp. Only vegetation to be removed will be the area of grading where only grass will be removed and later reseeded around the periphery to prevent land erosion. |

All appropriate permit fees must be paid in full prior to any necessary review(s) of application.
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.
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.
I acknowledge that by submitting this application, the application and its attachments are public information.
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.
