Driving directions to the property from Aitkin:
Take highway 65 north of McGregor approximately 11 miles.  Lake access is on the east side of the highway, driveway access is on the west side.

Project Description

Please describe your proposed project.:
I am proposing to clear a 8 foot wide x 250 foot path to the shore of Brown's Bay from highway 65. There is an open area in the middle of the path that will not need clearing.  I am proposing to remove small trees of less than 4" and scrub brush to provide access to a dock area.  Dirt & grass will remain as a natural part of the path.  My lot/frontage is 100 feet wide, and the path will be 12 feet from the nearest property line.  The purpose is to create access to a new dock area on Brown's Bay.

Vegetation Removal

Number of Trees to be removed: 4
Number of Shrubs to be removed: 0

Type of Clearing

Please select all that apply:
Mechanical Clearing
Hand Clearing
Please explain:
A brush cutter will be used with the idea of avoiding trees wherever possible.  A tractor with a box blade will be used to down small trees and clear the path of any debris. A chainsaw will be used only if necessary to remove small trees.
