BURNETT COUNTY LAND & WATER CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT December 4, 2017 Mark Klinkner 7410 County Road K, #109 Siren, WI 54872 Telephone: (715) 349-2186 Fax: (715) 349-2102 LWCD(a.burnettcounty.ortz 14092 Dearborn Path Rosemount, MN 55068 Dear Mark, This letter is to provide you with a shoreland buffer restoration plan to address the citation dated November 15, 2017 that you received from the Burnett County Zoning Administration. Completing this restoration plan will bring your parcel up to standards required by the Shoreland Preservation Program Restrictive Covenant on your Burnett County Parcel Number 012-4216- 01-800 located at 28629 County Road C. The vegetation protection (shoreline buffer) requirements are as follows: The buffer must extend from the ordinary high water mark 50 feet inland on all navigable bodies of water. Buffers consist of two major components: the first component (35 feet deep) is a no -touch, natural vegetation zone, and the second component is a minimum maintenance zone. You and I marked the extent of the no -touch, natural vegetation zone with white flags at a site visit on November 27, 2017. A single viewing/access corridor up to 30 feet wide may cross both zones perpendicular to the shore. Vegetation removal, cutting, trimming, and land disturbing activities are prohibited in the no -touch zone. Limited pruning and mowing are allowed in the viewing/access corridor and the minimum maintenance zone. Walkways, pathways, and stairs must be located in the viewing/access corridor; and piers, wharfs, and lifts must be placed in water immediately in front of the corridor. Extensive clearing within the vegetation protection area has resulted in a view corridor opening that, at over 60 feet wide, is more than twice the size of the opening that is allowed. The view corridor opening must be narrowed to no more than 30 feet.
