Action Requested: Issuance of a Certificate of Compliance to Gary Kaufhold at 12130
Lakamaga Tr. N. with a PID #29-032-20-41-0006 to allow the cutting
of trees in the �Shoreland Overlay District
Deadline/ Timeline: N/A
Background: • Section 9.1 of the Shoreland Management Regulations requires a
Certificate of Compliance be obtained prior to the removal of any
trees. The applicant is asking for approval to cut down 2 hazard
trees and 2 diseased trees for a total of 4 trees.
• The property is owned by Richard and Aina Burgman and is
located on the Northeast side of Big Marine Lake.
• A variance was granted on September 20`h, 1998 for the repair of
two decks that were in a significant state of disrepair. At this time
a condition of the variance was to preserve two trees, the Silver
Maple 20" DBH hazard tree and the Green Ash 23"DBH hazard
trees, which are located on the site drawing. It appears from the
notes of those meetings that the site had `no significant trees
between the lake and home' which gave rise to the condition to
save the trees. In the 10 plus years since these conditions were
imposed, the Green Ash has done considerable damage to the
footings/foundation and the Silver Maple poses a threat of
damaging the home if it were to fall.
• The cutting will be done in the winter so there should be very little
impact on Big Marine Lake.
• The homeowner intends to replace the trees but in locations that
are more appropriate and less destructive to the home.
Recommendation: Jyneen Thatcher from the Washington County Conservation District
and Jim Shaver from the Carnelian Marine Watershed District also
identified no issues with the proposed tree cutting. I did a site visit
and believe both of the hazard trees pose a threat to the continued use
of the residential structure. A building permit will be required for the
foundation repair so all erosion control measures will be monitored
with the construction.
My recommendation is to issue the Certificate of Compliance.
