Public Hearing for Revisions to the Otter Tail County Sanitation Code
Commissioner Johnson called to order the Public Hearing for the revisions to the Otter Tail County
Sanitation Code. Bill Kalar reviewed his discussion with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)
regarding the proposed revisions to the Sanitation Code. The MPCA requested that on page 3 under
80.1500 subp. A (1) the term Designated Registered be change to the Certified. All other changes
suggested by the MPCA are clerical changes. Commissioner Johnson opened up the meeting for Public
comment. Comments are summarized as follows:
Public Hearing for Sanitation Code:
Milt Paulson, owner Paulson Land Company of Battle Lake:
• Concerned that the language "The buyer shall provide a currently valid Compliance Inspection to
the seller at or before the closing date." on page 3 Subp. A Point of Sale Compliance Inspection
Paragraph A (1) would take away any negotiating room regarding the sale of the property as far as
who pays for the inspection.
Linda Stoll, Coldwell Banker Offices:
• Also concerned with "the Buyer shall" language.
Chuck Moe, Girard Township, East Battle Lake:
• Did not see a provision for an appeal of the judgment of the inspectors.
Denise Gubrud, Inspector from Land and Resource Management:
• Question on Page 4 Pump Tank "alarm device must be electronic". It was clarified that this was
only for Pump tanks not holding tanks.
• Page 5, last paragraph, a question on why the setback would be reduced to 5 feet on substandard
lots.
Melvin McGowan, retired System Installer:
• Question on the wording of "3 working days" in the last paragraph of the document.
Chairman Johnson thanked the public for their comments and closed the Public Hearing at 10:45 a.m.
