Project Description

Please describe your proposed project.:
I am requesting to clear an 11x20 ft area at the lake access, and a 6 ft path leading to the road. Perimeter of area cleared will be replanted with suitable shrub or tree species. This cleared 11x20 area would be for brining a dock in an out and general access to the lake. The 6 foot path would be used for accessing the lake area and using an ATV or side by side to bring in and out the dock. Previous permit expired in May of 2023, permit number 46892. Only change in scope is the width of the path. 4 ft vs 6 ft.

Vegetation Removal

Number of Trees to be removed: 70
Number of Shrubs to be removed: 25

Type of Clearing

  • 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.

Land Use/Septic General Terms
