Approval of Final Plats
Motion by Mosher, second by Erickson, and unanimously carried to approve the Final Plat of the
Kenneth R Larson Trust entitled "Larson's Lakeview Addition" located in Section 5 of Everts
Township; Otter Tail Lake and Round Lake.
Motion by Froemming, second by Mosher, and unanimously carried to approve Common Interest
Community No. 46 owned by Walker Lake Preserve Development LLC, entitled "Walker Lake
Preserve" located in Section 11 of Amor Township; Walker Lake.
Copper Landing at Horseshoe Bay
Land & Resource Director, Bill Kalar, presented a request to change the original location of the well
on the development known as Copper Landing at Horseshoe Bay because the storm water retention
plan requires the original well.location to be a holding pond. Discussion took place regarding the new
well location, whereby the well point would be located in the buffer zone. Motion by Mosher, second
by Block, and unanimously carried to amend Conditional Use Permit #6452 for the development
known as Copper Landing at Horseshoe Bay allowing a change in the location of the well as
presented by the Land & Resource Director and shown on a map that was submitted. The change is
being approved because of the storm water retention plan and only the well point would be located
within the buffer zone. The development is located in Section 22 of Buse Township; Horseshoe Lake.
(56-834).
Lake Classifications
Mr. Kalar presented a map that identified lakes of 150 acres or less and of those lakes, the map
identified the lakes that cross into other jurisdictions such as other counties and/or cities. Lengthy
discussion occurred regarding the two concepts that could be used to protect sensitive areas in the
County. One concept is to request that the DNR reclassify lakes of 150 acres or less as Natural
Environment Lakes. This would increase setbacks, lot size, etc. to conform with the Natural
Environment regulations. County Attorney, David Hauser, explained the other concept of creating a
new district that would require the creation of a map showing sensitive areas in the district and a
OTC Board of Commissioners' Minutes
April 15, 2008

corresponding Public Hearing in order to adopt the district. If a district or districts were created,
justification for the districts would be required. The lake classification would not change so there
wouldn't be a grandfather issue with the current lots. Motion by Mosher, second by Erickson, and
unanimously carried to establish a Public Meeting at 1 :00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 3, 2008, at the
Government Services Center in Fergus Falls for comment regarding proposed reclassification of small
lakes. The list of lakes being considered is available at the Land & Resource office and at the
County's website.
Land Acquisition for Shooting Range
Sheriff,Brian Schlueter, identified a piece of property (current gravel pit) that could be converted to a
shooting range. The owner is willing to sell 4 acres and would shape the property, build it to grade
and put in berms at a cost of $23,000.00. The Sheriff stated that $20,000.00 has been budgeted and
$3,000.00 could be taken from Forfeiture Funds. The property is in Otter Tail Township south of
Donald Lake. Motion by Froemming, second by Block, and unanimously carried to authorize the
Sheriff to proceed with a purchase agreement with conditions as described for the land to be
converted to a shooting range.
Recess & Reconvene
At 12:09 p.m., Chairman Nelson declared the meeting of the Otter Tail County Board of
Commissioners recessed for lunch break. The meeting was reconvened at 1:15 p.m.
