Terms
All appropriate permit fees must be paid in full prior to any necessary review(s) of application.
It shall be a violation of the Aitkin County Zoning Ordinance to commence construction before the permit application is approved by Aitkin County.
The septic installer shall notify Aitkin County Environmental Services a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours before the covering of any portion of the septic installation. Changes from the approved septic design will require approval by the County prior to construction.
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).
All corners of the proposed structure(s) need to be staked with visible flags, ribbon, or lathes prior to onsite inspection by Aitkin County.
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.
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.
Permit fees are non-refundable after a permit is approved.

Public Notes
| Text: | Denied: Structure does not meet required setback distances. Where it is staked, it is 94 feet from the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL), 13 feet from the drainfield, and 3 feet from the septic tank. The required setbacks would be 100 feet from the OHWL, 20 feet from the drainfield, and 10 feet from the septic tank. An Engineer's Report from a licensed engineer could get the structure closer to the septic system. However, the lake setback would still need to be met. Please revise structure location so that it meets setback requirements and obtain an Engineer's Report to go closer to the septic system. A list of local engineers is attached for reference, though any licensed engineer may provide the report. Refund issued ($200-site visit=$100) |
