BURNETT COUNTY <br /> LAND & WATER CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT <br /> 7410 County Road K,#109 <br /> Siren,Wl 54872 <br /> Telephone:(715)349-2186 Fax:(715)349-2102 <br /> May 16,2000 <br /> Arlene and Norman Robinson <br /> 5997 Pike Lake Road <br /> Webster,WI 54893 <br /> Dear Arlene and Norman: <br /> A vegetation protection area is required in order to receive the land use permit for the addition to <br /> your house. Because you have maintained your shoreline in a mostly natural state,your <br /> revegetation requirements are minimal. <br /> The vegetation protection area(the buffer) consists of two major components: the fust <br /> component(normally 35 feet deep)is a no-touch,natural vegetation zone,and the second <br /> component is a minimum maintenance zone. A single viewing/access corridor up to 30 feet wide <br /> may cross both zones perpendicular to the shore. Vegetation removal and land disturbing <br /> activities are prohibited in the no-touch zone. Limited pruning and mowing are allowed in <br /> the viewing/access corridor and the minimum maintenance zone. Walkways,pathways,and <br /> stairs must be located in the viewing/access corridor; and piers,wharfs and lifts must be placed in <br /> water immediately in front of the corridor. <br /> To maintain your buffer area,do not mow beyond 35 feet from the ordinary high water mark. <br /> This line is 20 feet from your house. The groundcover in the viewing/access corridor must <br /> cover bare soil. Transplanting groundcovers from the woods near the road would be fine. <br /> You may also choose to plant seedlings from the Pine/Oak Forest list in the landowner guide <br /> I gave you today. <br /> The zoning office requires that the enclosed agreement be signed,notarized,and registered before <br /> the land use permit will be issued It specifies that your shoreline will be maintained according to <br /> the vegetation protection standards in the shoreland ordinance. Plantings should be completed by <br /> July 15,2000. The Register of Deed's address is the same as above,except that the room number <br /> is #103. The telephone number is 715-349-2183. There is a$12 fee to register a two-page <br /> agreement. <br /> After your groundcovers are planted,you are eligible to register an additional covenant that will <br /> qualify you to receive an enrollment payment and annual tax credit through the Burnett County <br /> Shoreline Incentives Program. A brochure is enclosed that provides more information about this <br /> program. <br /> If you have questions,please call me at 715-268-4666 or Dave Ferns at 715-349-2186. <br /> Sincerely, '- <br /> Che Sur <br /> Cheryl <br /> Consultant to Burnett County <br /> CC: Dave Ferris, County Conservationist <br />
