RESTORATION PLAN] <br /> Edward Schuck <br /> 29789 Cranberry Lane <br /> Minerva Lake <br /> Buffer Restoration <br /> The restored buffer must extend from the ordinary high water mark 50 feet inland on Class 2 <br /> lakes such as Minerva Lake. <br /> Buffers consist of two major components: the first component(35 feet deep) is a no-touch, <br /> natural vegetation zone, and the second component is a minimum maintenance zone. A single <br /> viewing/access corridor up to 30 feet wide may cross both zones perpendicular to the shore. <br /> Vegetation removal, cutting, and trimming and land disturbing activities are prohibited in <br /> the no-touch zone. Limited pruning and mowing are allowed in the viewing/access corridor <br /> and the minimum maintenance zone. Walkways, pathways, and stairs must be located in the <br /> viewing/access corridor; and piers, wharfs and lifts must be placed in water immediately in front <br /> of the corridor. <br /> The Shoreline Buffer Restoration Guide for Landowners provides planting instructions, plant <br /> lists and sources, and additional guidance for your restoration project. <br /> Viewing Corridor <br /> The viewing corridor is split in two on the attached site plan to allow current access to the lake <br /> and an open area in front of the house. Orange flagging on red pines at the shoreline was noted <br /> during the site visit. Please be aware that if the viewing corridor is moved, additional <br /> planting will be required. <br /> No Touch, Natural Vegetation Zone <br /> Groundcovers <br /> Do not mow or otherwise maintain existing groundcover in the no-touch zone. <br /> Areas that are bare or sparse need to be planted with native groundcovers. <br /> Area 21: Plant with big leaf aster or choose other plants from the Pine or Oak Forest list on <br /> page 26 of the landowner guide. Recommendations: Big-leaf aster, columbine, harebell. <br /> Shrubs and trees <br /> Plant 9 shrubs scattered throughout the buffer. Recommendations are included in the site <br /> plan. Choose at least 2 different shrub species from the Pine or Oak Forest list in the landowner <br /> guide. <br /> Do not substitute non-native shrubs or trees. Be sure to avoid all honeysuckles other than the <br /> bush honeysuckle Diervilla lonicera. These can be invasive in forested areas. Honeysuckles <br /> other than this species will be required to be removed from the plantim <br /> prepared by Cheryl Bursik,Dragonfly Consulting,on behalf of the Burnett County Land and Water Conservation <br /> Department.
