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

Please select all that apply:	Hand Clearing
Please explain:	A chainsaw will be used to cut trees that can't be removed with the pruning tool. Shrubs will be pulled, if possible, or cut with a heavy duty weed whip.

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.
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

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.
