715-386-4674 Dear Mr. Heise:
RealPrope, This letter confirms zoning approval according to the plans you have submitted for
715-386- 677 filling and grading an area of approximately 200 square feet within 300 feet of the
,A Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) of Perch Lake to construct two sections of steps
Re`.` cfl°g for structural erosion control on the property referenced above in the Town of St.
15-386-4675 Joseph.
Staff finds that the proposed project meets the spirit and intent of the St. Croix County
Zoning Ordinance and Shoreland District with the following findings:
1. Filling and grading less than 10,000 square feet in area less than 300 feet from
the OHWM on slopes less than 25 percent measured over a horizontal distance
of 50 feet is allowed with a land use permit in the Shoreland District pursuant to
Sections 17.29(2)(c) of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance;
2. Land disturbance activities for public improvements affecting slopes 25 to
29.9% measured over horizontal distance of 50' requires a land use permit
pursuant to Sections 17.12(8) and 17.12(9) of the St. Croix County Zoning
Ordinance;
3. No impervious surfaces are proposed for this project, which will utilize a
combination of crushed rock and 4"x4"x4" wood steps anchored into the ground
that will replace two eroding sections of foot trail;
4. The shoreline of the lake is currently unimproved and is vegetated with trees
and typical woodland undergrowth. With conditions for maintaining the current
level of native vegetative cover along the shoreline to preserve wildlife habitat
and provide filtration of storm water runoff from any disturbed areas consistent
with the standards in the Shoreland District, the natural beauty and ecology of
Perch Lake will be protected;
5. The St. Croix County Land and Water Conservation Department has been
responsible for developing the plans and will oversee the installation of the rock
and wood steps. With conditions that LWCD staff supervise the installation of
steps and appropriate stabilization for exposed soil is applied immediately after
completion, the water of Perch Lake will n
quality of be impaired; and
