() LAZY ACRES DEVELOPMENT PROJECT -MARION LAKE Melvin Klein, Marion Lake Association, presented on behalf of Marion Lake Association members and other interested parties a petition containing 495 signatures requesting the Board of Commissioners to require the developers of the Lazy Acres Development to apply for a new conditional use permit before continuing their work. Commissioner Partmann arrived at 11 a.m. After Mr. Klein's presentation, County Attorney, Wally Senyk, responded to concerns expressed. Mr. Senyk's opinion, based on the language of the Otter Tail County Shoreland Ordinance, is that the Lazy Acres Development situation does not require a new conditional use permit and the developers can operate under a conditional use permit issued to Cal Mielke in 1990. However, an on-site inspection on September 2, 1994, revealed three violations of the Shoreland Management Ordinance identified as follows: 1} cutting of trees in the shore impact zone. 2) A pile of stumps and other debris was cited as a violation of proper disposal. 3) Lack of stabilization. Mr. Klein indicated his concerns regarding the potential violation of the centralized docking requirement. Mr. Kalar indicated that his department had received a copy of the sewage treatment system from the Minnesota Health Department. 0 Q Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners September 6, 1994 Page 4 The Chairman then called on several citizens wishing to express their concerns. Kermit Larson, Perham, asked for a comprehensive plan as to how violations will be rectified. Richard Kotschevar, Marion Lake, expressed concern for native trees along the shoreline. The developers stated that they intend to correct any violations and wish to work within the parameters of the permit. The developers submitted a draft final plan of this project to the Land & Resource Director, Bill Kalar, immediately preceding this meeting. The Chairman directed Mr. Kalar to review this new information and return to the board at the September 13, 1994, regular County Board meeting.
