Project Description

Please describe your proposed project.:
(1) I am proposing to clear a 33 foot x 25 foot area along the shoreline of small diameter trees and shrubs (less than 5? diameter).  A grass cover and all trees over 5 inches in diameter will remain in these areas. The purpose of this open area is seating by the lake and to reduce habitat for wood ticks which are numerous in the area.  
(2) I also propose to remove some small hardwood trees within 100 feet of the lake and near the property line to the west, which were planted by the previous owner too close to the fir trees in the same location, preventing the fir trees from growing to their full height and width.

Vegetation Removal

Number of Trees to be removed: 20
Number of Shrubs to be removed: 10

Type of Clearing

Please select all that apply:
Mechanical Clearing
Hand Clearing
Please explain:
Small trees will be cut with a hand saw.  Low vegetation will be reduced in height with a gas powered string trimmer.

  • 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 agrees that the application, site plan, and all other attachments submitted herewith are true and accurate and shall become a part of the permit.
