Selective vegetation removal, provided that vegetative cover remains consistent with <br /> 4 the management purpose of the MRCCA District, including: <br /> 5 1. Vegetation that is dead, diseased, dying, or hazardous; <br /> 6 2. To prevent the spread of diseases or insect pests; <br /> 7 3. Individual trees and shrubs; and <br /> 8 4. Removal of invasive non-native species. <br /> 9 (4) Activities allowed with a vegetation permit. <br /> 10 a. The following intensive vegetation clearing activities are allowed with a vegetation <br /> 11 permit: <br /> 12 1. Clearing of vegetation that is dead, diseased, dying, or hazardous. <br /> 13 2. Clearing to prevent the spread of diseases or insect pests. <br /> 14 3. Clearing to remove invasive non-native species. <br /> 15 4. Clearing to prepare for restoration and erosion control management activities <br /> 16 consistent with a plan approved by City of Ramsey. <br /> 17 5. The minimum necessary for development that is allowed with a building permit <br /> 18 or as an exemption under section 920(L). <br /> 19 b. Conditions of vegetation permit approval: <br /> 20 1. Development is sited to minimize removal of or disturbance to natural <br /> 21 vegetation; <br /> 22 2. Soil,slope stability, and hydrologic conditions are suitable for the proposed work <br /> 23 as determined by a professional engineer or City of Ramsey; <br /> 24 3. Clearing is the minimum necessary and designed to blend with the natural terrain <br /> 25 and minimize visual impacts to public river corridor views; <br /> 26 4. Any native plant communities removed are replaced with vegetation that <br /> 27 provides equivalent biological and ecological functions consistent with an <br /> 28 approved vegetation restoration plan as pFevided m S ;on 117 1 4Q1;`lr` <br /> 29 yetget.atoen reStE-ra-tmen InAlall). If replaced, priorities for restoration are <br /> 30 stabilization of erodible soils, restoration or enhancement of shoreline <br /> 31 vegetation, and revegetation of bluffs or steep slopes visible from the river; <br /> 32 5.
