<br />All replacement trees shall be a species native to Minnesota as listed on the Minnesota DNR's Native Trees list. All
<br />replacement trees must be approved by the city.
<br />(b)Intensive vegetation clearing within 75 feet of the shoreline of public waters identified in section 78-1217, on
<br />steep slopes or within the bluff impact zone within the Shoreland Overlay District is prohibited. Limited
<br />clearing of shrubs and trees less than six inches in diameter and cutting, pruning, and trimming of trees of
<br />any size is allowed to provide a view to the water from the principal dwelling site and to accommodate the
<br />placement of permitted stairways and landings, picnic areas, access paths, beach and watercraft access
<br />areas, and permitted lockboxes, provided that the screening of structures, vehicles or other facilities as
<br />viewed from the water, assuming summer, leaf-on conditions, is not substantially reduced.
<br />(1)All intensive vegetation clearing, including the clearing of invasive species, shall require a permit from
<br />city staff and shall require the submittal of a revegetation plan acceptable to the city. The plan shall
<br />include erosion control measures if deemed necessary by the city.
