Once the deck has been dealt with, your shoreline would be in compliance. You would also have to make sure <br /> all steps, dock sections, boat lifts and related appurtenances are located within your 30 foot access and viewing <br /> corridor, which you are allowed to keep mowed. The remainder of your shoreline should be kept natural as a <br /> "no-touch", natural zone of vegetation where no cutting is allowed. The following portion of the Burnell <br /> County Code explains the shoreline vegetation requirements: <br /> • <br /> See.30-505.-Removal ofslwreline cover. <br /> There shall be a shoreline vegetation protection area on each parcel which shall extend from the ordinary high-watermark <br /> to a line 25 feet less than the required setback for structures but, in no case, less than 35 feet landward from the ordinary high- <br /> water mark. within this area, vegetation removal(including trees,shrubs and ground cover)and land disturbing activities are <br /> prohibited with the following exceptions: <br /> (1)One viewing/access corridor more or less perpendicular to the shore and no more than 30 feet wide may be established. <br /> Limited tree removal,pruning and mowing will be pernitted. Clear cutting, filling,grading and other land disturbing <br /> activities are not permitted in this area.On contiguous frontage, there shall be a 30-foot separation of uncut area <br /> between adjoining view corridors. <br /> (2)Limited pruning and mowing will be allowed in the arca greater than 35 feel from the ordinary high-water mark. <br /> (3) Pedestrian access, walkways,pathways,and stairways must be located in the access/viewing corridor and also subject to <br /> section 30-504(4),unless such location is not feasible due to steep slopes,wet soils-, or similar limited conditions. <br /> (4) Pier, wharf and lift placement must also be confined to waters innnediately adjacent to viewing/access corridor unless <br /> such location is not feasible due to steep slopes,wet soils,or similar limiting conditions. <br /> (5)Normal maintenance of existing vegetative buffer strips. <br /> If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call at 715-349-2186 or 715-497-6755. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Paul D.
