defming the routine maintenance that is allowed. It further clarifies how much vegetation may<br />

be removed and under what conditions downed trees may be removed. The section specifically<br />

controlled.<br />

KPB 21.18.071- Staffpermits.<br />

mitigation measures to be part of the permit process to offset the loss of vegetation resulting<br />

from the permitted structure.<br />

KPB 21.18.081 -Conditional use permit.<br />

Section (B) is amended to allow certain structures common to lakefront ownership through the<br />

conditional use permit process, specifically watercraft landings and float plane landings and<br />

haulouts. Boat launches are also allowed where no public boat launch exists on a lake subject to<br />

the conditions stated in the ordinance. The planning commission may place additional<br />

conditions on the permit to preserve and protect the habitat protection district consistent with<br />
