BURNETT COUNTY <br /> LAND & WATER CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT <br /> 7410 County Road K,#109 <br /> Siren,WI 54872 <br /> Telephone:(715)349-2186 Fax:(715)349-2102 <br /> February 6, 2004 <br /> Lowell and Melinda Severson <br /> 294 N. 6' Street <br /> Bayport, MN 55003 <br /> Dear Lowell and Melinda: <br /> On February 4, I visited your property at 27804 Yellow Lake Rd. to make a <br /> determination on your land use permit submitted to the Burnett County Zoning <br /> Department. You indicated that you would like to remove the existing treated timber <br /> retaining wall and replace it with a block wall. <br /> You will be permitted to remove the one existing timber retaining wall and replace it <br /> with a block retaining wall, however, the following requirements must be met: <br /> - any excavation required should be kept to a very small area necessary to remove <br /> and replace the one existing wall <br /> - keep soil disturbance to a minimum and seed and mulch any areas of bare soil <br /> immediately after project completion <br /> - only remove the one existing wall and replace with a wall of equal or lesser <br /> dimensions, in the exact same location as the wall is now <br /> The permit application indicated that you would like to install two retaining walls. After <br /> review of the site, a second retaining wall, along the north side of the cabin is not <br /> necessary and will not be permitted. While the slope there is relatively steep, it has <br /> been held in place by grasses and shrubs and should remain stable due to adequate <br /> vegetative cover. I've enclosed the drawing to further illustrate what will and will not be <br /> permitted. If you have any further question, please feel free to contact me at 715-349- <br /> 2186. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ra"a). 0 <br /> Paul D.
