Committee approves county permit application for GG canoe landing at Clam Lake
Summary
Ashland County Highway Committee authorized staff to apply for a shoreline permit naming the county as landowner so the West Fourth Waterway Association may install a canoe landing on County land along County Road GG at Clam Lake; zoning and forestry had reviewed the plan.
The Ashland County Highway Committee voted to approve filing for a county-owned shoreline permit that would allow the West Fourth Waterway Association to install a canoe landing along County Road GG at Clam Lake.
Committee members said zoning staff consulted with the Department of Natural Resources and recommended a shoreline permit be filed in the county’s name because the county owns the property. Committee members noted the permit carries no fee.
Why it matters: approving the permit application clears an administrative step so the association may proceed to obtain required shoreline authorization from county zoning and state resources.
What the committee did Committee member Marty moved to authorize the county to make the shoreline permit application naming the county as the landowner; Jim seconded the motion. There was no additional discussion, and the committee voted in favor. The motion carried.
Context Zoning and forestry staff had reviewed the proposal and reported no fee for the county permit. The committee asked staff to complete and sign the application on the county’s behalf to advance the association’s proposal.
Ending Staff will file the permit application with county zoning and continue coordination with the West Fourth Waterway Association and DNR as needed.
