My feeling is the things needed to maintain reasonable usability and keep a level of safety on the property should not have to be permitted, I am not fully up to speed on the new rules so maybe this is already the case.

This year my neighbor had an insect problem inside their cottage, the leaves and fallen branches around the cottage had created an enviroment for these insects to thrive in. Maybe some sort of setback line from the structure that can be cleaned and kept clear with respect to trees, branches and leaves.

I also agree with Elly, there always seems to be something that needs to be maintained especially on the islands, rocks move, walls move and brances fall every year. Not sure what the rules are with respect to trees but often a tree will be alive but damaged higher up, the need to take it down for safety reasons may exist, this type of work should be allowed. I like the idea of pictures to document these types of scenarios.

I also think planting vegatation, flowers, bushes should be done without a permitt, my thought is those are positives to the shorefront and should be encouraged. Again not sure how the rules read now but my .02 cents.
