Preliminary Plat -"Rolling Meadows"/George Perszyk and Paul & Florian Lonski:
Land & Resource Director, Bill Kalar, stated that "Rolling Meadows" on Berger Lake is a proposed
33 single family residential lot development. He stated that the Planning Commission offered a
motion to approve the Preliminary Plat; however, the motion failed on a 4 -5 vote. Scott Seeley of
Taylor Investment Corporation, requested that commissioners approve the plat as all lots exceed
minimum standards and concerns of the Planning Commission had been addressed with revisions
to the plan. Attorney, Robert Bigwood, representing Dan Hokanson, requested that the Board
uphold the Planning Commission's recommendation for denial. Mr. Bigwood raised issues of
existence of bald eagle nesting sites, the threat of water quality to Berger Lake because it is a very
shallow lake, unsuitable topography, and the railroad right of way. He stated that the fact that
these lots meet minimum standards is not the only reason to approve. The subdivision does not
meet land suitability requirements. Dave Kirkpatrick presented a soils survey from the Natural
Resources Conservation Service for this area. All of the soils that are contained within the
proposed "Rolling Meadows" development have a severe rating for septic tank absorption fields.
David Landecker, Land Surveyor assisting the applicant, spoke in favor of the development and
noted that all previous concerns of the Planning Commission had been addressed. He stated that
test holes had been dug for viewing, and the soils certainly appear suitable for drain field activities.
Motion by Nelson, second by Froemming, to deny the Preliminary Plat of "Rolling Meadows" and
the Conditional Use Permit for construction of a road, based on the soils information provided from
the NRCS that indicates sensitive soils for septic systems. Chair Froemming called for a roll call
vote:

PGOLID Public Hearing
At 2:00 p.m., Chair Froemming reconvened the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners'
:meeting and opened the meeting as the Public Hearing for consideration of amendments for the
Pelican Group of the Lakes Improvement District. County Attorney, David Hauser, explained that
the PGOLID already exists; however, a proposal has been made to amend the order that
established the district to essentially 1) add ag lands into the district that were formerly out of the
district, and 2) add some specific powers that a county is allowed to delegate to the LID, to specify
those powers, and include in the order. This Public Hearing must be held by the County Board to
take information from the public and then, at the next County Board meeting, the Board will make a
decision on the issue. The County Board solicited comments from the public for this Public
Hearing. There were many comments received by mail and fax. Mr. Hauser read the following
summary of those comments for the record.
Summary of the Public Hearing Comments for the PGOLID
Proposed Amendments to Order Establishing District
There were 2 letters received in favor of the proposed amendments and 25 letters received in
opposition of the proposed amendments.
OTCo. Board of Commissioners' Minutes
December 18, 2001
Page 8
Letters in favor cited the following reasons: Q
► Benefits to put in sewer and water -concern with current systems.
► Improvements around the lake will benefit all property owners like Big Detroit Lake has
benefited from their improvements.
► Better water quality
Letters opposed cited the following reasons:
► Opposition to Section 1.g -"Directors of the PGOLI D Board may be removed by a two-thirds
vote of the remaining board member(s) or by a vote of the majority of the property owners
present at an annual meeting." Opposed because this takes away representation by the voters
and could force a member out for having a minority opinion.
► Opposition to Section 1.f -"No director may serve more than two successive complete terms."
An individual shall be eligible for re-election to the Board of Directors after three years
absence." Opposed because this essentially eliminates term limits.
► Opposition to Section 1.c.ix & 1.c.xv -"The Board (Otter Tail County Commission Board)
delegates to the PGOLID the power and authority to: construct a water, sewer, or water and
sewer system in the manner provided by section 444.075 or other applicable laws." AND "The
Board (Otter Tail County Commission Board) delegates to the PGOLID the power and authority
to: finance sewer, water, joint sewer and water, storm water and related improvement programs
and projects as provided in Chapter 429 and section 444.075." Opposed because cost of the
water and sewer project is prohibitive and will force undue hardship on the cabin owners.
► Lakeshore owners were assured that they would be able to vote on the water and sewer project
by ballot-No such vote has occurred.
► There is no assurance that the PGOLID will abide by majority vote.
► Current septic regulations should be followed rather than pushing exorbitant septic and water
systems.
► Updated water quality analysis is needed before approving larger authority to the PGOLID.
► Several writers state -MN Statute calls for a property owner vote on any project over $5,000.
► Many property owners have already installed expensive septic systems.
► Opposed to expenditures that could be approved by the PGOLID Board without a vote of the
membership of the District.
► Members do not have enough information to warrant a 24 million-dollar septic/water project.
► The PGOLID does not represent interests of the public/membership.
► Request that property owners approve all amendments to the Order Establishing District before
the County Board approves.
► Opposition to expanded authority.
► Opposed to public hearing being held at a time when many property owners are out of the area.
Attorney, John Kolb, spoke on behalf of the PGOLID Board of Directors. Mr. Kolb reviewed the
required procedures followed by the Board of Directors. Public notice was published, notice was
given to Dunn and Scambler Townships, and on November 28, 2001, a copy of the notice was
mailed to all property owners within the boundaries of the district. Mr. Kolb submitted copies of this
information for the record.
Q
Mr. Kolb stated that the LID Board of Directors is not requesting that the County Board approve the
sewer and water project. By law, there has to be a vote by the district membership at an annual 0
meeting. The B.O.D. has investigated the possibility of the sewer and water project. At this time,
the B.O.D. is gathering more information and completing a feasibility study, information will be sent
to property owners with a straw ballot to determine the level of support in the district. If the sewer
0
Q

Page 9
project is not supported, the B.O.D. will re-direct their efforts to other projects. Mr. Kolb stated that
the amendments clarify the authority of the district to undertake and implement certain projects of
the district and to allow some funding mechanisms for these projects. The LID cannot move
·forward with a project costing more than $5,000 without a membership vote.
Chair Froemming opened the public hearing to public comment. The following property owners
provided comment:
Terry Donnan, Pelican Lake
Bob Wiltsey, Little Pelican Lake
Cynthia Sillers, Fish Lake
Christine Butler, Pelican Lake
Rod Smith, Pelican Lake
Ed Ohman, Pelican Lake
Fred Manuel, Little Pelican Lake
Gary Danielson, Fish Lake
Bob Lamb, Pelican Lake
Brad Olson, Little Pelican Lake
Justine Kingham, Pelican Lake
Don Anderson, Bass Lake
Mike Ostbye, Pelican Lake
Bruce Winterfeldt, DNR
·comments at the public hearing included the desire to vote by an _alternative procedure (possibly
absentee ballot) on projects over $5,000, not just voting at an annual meeting. Ag land to be
included in the district are those ag properties that have changed from ag use to residential use.
·concerns were expressed regarding expansion and congestion. Some property owners
,expressed concern with giving the LID additional authority and requested that authority stay with
the County. Other property owners were in favor of giving the LID additional authority in order to
keep the decisions about the lake under local control. Mr. Winterfeldt, of the DNR, questioned the
intent of the amendment to give authority to the LID to maintain public beaches, docks, and other
water access sites. Hearing no additional comments, Chair Froemming closed the public hearing
at 3:20 p.m.
Exception to Personnel Rules
Motion by Lee, second by Froemming, and unanimously carried to allow a one-time exception to
the personnel rule that does not allow employees to carry over compensatory time after the end of
the year for the Land & Resource Department. This motion will allow employees of the Land &
•Resource Department to use compensatory time until March 1, 2002.

execute an employment contract between the County of Otter Tail and County Coordinator,
Larry Krohn as presented.

Motion by Lee, second by Mosher, and unanimously carried to approve reclassification for the HR
& Risk Management Coordinator from compensation grade 17 to compensation grade 20 as
