Burnett County Land and Water Conservation Department <br /> 7410 County Road K, #109 <br /> Siren, WI 54872 <br /> Telephone #(715) 349-2186 <br /> Fax #(715) 349-2102 <br /> August 28, 2001 <br /> Michael Metcalf <br /> PO Box 423 <br /> Princeton, MN 55371 <br /> Dear Michael: <br /> A vegetation protection area is required as a condition of the land use permit for the construction of a <br /> day shelter for your property located in Burnett County(parcel number 020-9065-01-600). Because <br /> you have maintained your shoreline in a natural state, there are no revegetation requirements. <br /> The vegetation protection area is 75 feet deep on Class 3 lakes such as Hayden. The vegetation <br /> protection area (the buffer) consists of two major components: the first component (normally 35 feet <br /> deep) is a no-touch, natural vegetation zone, and the second component is a minimum maintenance <br /> zone. A single viewing/access corridor up to 30 feet wide may cross both zones perpendicular to the <br /> shore. Vegetation removal and land disturbing activities are prohibited in the no-touch zone. <br /> Limited pruning and mowing are allowed in the viewing/access corridor and the minimum <br /> maintenance zone. Walkways, pathways, and stairs must be located in the viewing/access corridor; <br /> and piers, wharfs and lifts must be placed in water immediately in front of the corridor. <br /> The zoning office requires an agreement that specifies your shoreline will be maintained according to <br /> Burnett County ordinances and standards. The agreement must be signed, notarized, and registered in <br /> order to receive the land use permit. The Burnett County Register of Deed's address is the same as <br /> above, except that the room is #140. The telephone number is 715-349-2183. There is a$12 fee to <br /> register a two-page agreement. <br /> You are eligible to register an additional covenant that will qualify you to receive an enrollment <br /> payment and annual tax credit through the Burnett County Shoreline Incentives Program. A brochure <br /> is enclosed that provides more information about this program. <br /> If you have questions,please call me 715-268-4666 or Dave Ferris at 715-349-2186. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Cheryl Bursik <br /> Shoreline Restoration Consultant <br /> Cc: Dave Ferris, County Conservationist <br />
