Action Requested: Extend a Certificate of Compliance issued to Silva Consultant
Services at PID #33-032-20-33-0001 to allow the cutting of trees in
the Shoreland Overlay District until March 1, 2010.
Deadline/ Timeline: N/A
Background: • The Certificate of Compliance was approved on December 16,
2008. Due to extreme economic conditions, the trees were not
harvested in 2009 but will be in 2010.
• The Scandia Ordinance stipulates that a certificate of compliance
expires after one year. However, a deadline of March 1, 2009 was
included in this pefinit to ensure that no work was done outside of
`frozen' conditions.
• The applicant requests an extension to allow cutting of the trees
next winter.
Recommendation: My recommendation is to extend the Certificate of Compliance until
March 1, 2010. A condition has been added to require that cutting be
performed when the ground is frozen.

Action Requested: Issuance of a Certificate of Compliance to Silva Consultant Services
at PID #33-032-20-33-0001 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 property does not have an address but is located on the South
side of Big Marine Lake. The approximately 50 acre parcel has
boundaries that are the North end of Margo Avenue and West of
182"d St N. (see map).
• The propert,y was logged back in 1996 or 1997 and select
harvesting was done at that time of hardwoods that were either
diseased or creating a hazard from falling.
• At this time the applicant is asking to again selectively cut the
hardwoods for the same reasons.
• The cutting will be done in the winter so that trucks can be loaded
but at no time will the trucks be near the lake. There should be
very little impact on Big Marine Lake.
Recommendation: I have spoken with the MN DNR Hydrologist Craig Wills and he sees
no issues. 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.
My recommendation is to issue the Certificate of Compliance.
