Commissioners makes the following findings of fact.
NOW THEREFORE the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners makes the following:
Page 3 of 11
FINDINGS OF FACT
Board of Commissioners' Meeting Minutes
January 14, 2025
A. The proposed Century Farms Subdivision is within 1000 feet of two lakes: 1) Maine (Round) Lake
(56047600); and, 2) Maine Lake (56152000), both classified as a Natural Environment lake.
B. Minnesota Rules 4410.0200 Subp. 79a designates a Natural Environment Lake as a Sensitive
Shoreland Area.
C. The Century Farms Subdivision does not meet the minimum threshold as stated in Minnesota Rules
4410.4300 Subp. 19a to require a mandatory Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW).
D. Otter Tail County has a Shoreland Management Ordinance that was first adopted in 1971 and has
had several revisions since, the most recent being July 1, 2021. The purpose and intent of this
ordinance is to prevent pollution and preserve and enhance the quality of surface waters, conserve
the economic and natural environment values of shore/ands, and provide the wise use of waters and
related land uses of Otter Tail County. The County Board acknowledged that if a proposed
development meets the provisions of this Ordinance, and the Ordinance's purpose is to protect the
County's surface water from detrimental environmental effects and preserve water quality, it is
reasonable to find that the proposed subdivision does not pose a significant environmental impact.
E. That more than 100 individuals signed a petition for an EAW, which contains the mailing address of
said individuals.
F. That the RGU must order an EAW to be prepared when it determines, due to the nature of the location
of the proposed project, that the project may have the potential for significant environmental effects.
G. The text of the petition identifies eleven areas of concern:
1. This subdivision is not compatible with the surrounding area
2. This subdivision will have a huge negative environmental impact.
3. Density of lots is too high.
4. Excessive earth moving suggests this land is not suitable for what is being proposed.
5. Eagles, ospreys and loons nest there. This development would have a huge adverse influence
on their natural environment. Laws prohibit disturbing eagles and their nests. The increased
activity will interfere with these protected birds. We do not want to disturb their habitat and
push nature away from lakes.
6. Maine-Round ( 4 76) is only 86 acres and Maine ( 1520) is only 32 acres. These extremely small
and shallow lakes do not have enough surface area or depth to support the additional amount
of traffic and docks.
7. Not to mention the fish, turtles and aquatic vegetation would suffer under the stress of the
added additional lots.
8. These lakes are free of Aquatic Invasive Species, the increased activity from the proposed
development increases the risk of the introduction of Aquatic Invasive Species.
9. The addition of 22 residential lots would more than quadruple the number of residential lots on
this lake. The small natural environmental lakes cannot support a development of this size
and density.
10. Construction on the lots will negatively impact water runoff on the steep slopes that are present
on the lots.
11. The request to move 14, 185 cubic yards of earth is excessive. It does not appear this property
is conducive to the type of development they are requesting if they need to alter the land to
this extent in a shoreland area.
H. Concern #1 : This subdivision is not compatible with the surrounding area is without merit.
Compatibility is a criteria Planning Commission may use while considering a conditional use. It is not
a criteria used for assessing whether a proposed project has the potential for significant environmental
Page 4 of 11
Board of Commissioners' Meeting Minutes
January 14, 2025
impacts. Furthermore, Maine (Round) Lake (56047600) lake currently has only single-family
residential lots. To suggest that a preliminary plat proposing single-family residential lots is not
compatible on a lake that only has single-family residential lots is without merit.
I. Concern #2: This subdivision will have a huge negative environmental impact is without merit. The
proposed subdivision meets and exceeds the minimum standards in the Otter Tail County Shoreland
Management Ordinance. The Purpose and Intent of the Ordinance is to protect the county's natural
resources. Therefore, if a proposed project meets or exceeds the standards in the Shoreland
Ordinance, the natural resources are protected and there is no risk of any negative environmental
impact.
J. Concern #3: Densitv of lots is too high is without merit. The Shoreland Management Ordinance of
Otter Tail County requires that a platted lot on a natural environment lake have a minimum area of
80,000 square feet and a minimum frontage of 200 feet. Each of the proposed lots in the subdivision
exceeds the minimum lot area and each lot meets or exceeds the minimum lot width as specified in
the ordinance. Density is a measure of how many dwelling units can be built in the Shoreland District.
Single-family residential lots are allowed one dwelling unit per lot. On a natural environment lake, the
minimum lots size is 80,000 square feet, which means the DNR allows one dwelling unit per 80,000
square feet on a natural environment lake. The property being subdivided as the Century Farms
Subdivision is 3,340,117 square feet (76 acres). There is enough square footage on the property to
subdivide the property into up to 41 lots. The fact that the developer is proposing almost half of the
property's potential development capacity means the proposed preliminary plat is nowhere near
having a density that is too high.
K. Concern #4: Excessive earth moving suggests this land is not suitable for what is being proposed is
without merit. There is a minimum volume for a conditional use permit. The Shoreland Management
Ordinance does not have an upper limit for volume
L. Concern #5: Eagles, ospreys and loons nest there. This development would have a huge adverse
influence on their natural environment. Laws prohibit disturbing eagles and their nests. The increased
activity will interfere with these protected birds. We do not want to disturb their habitat and push nature
away from lakes is without merit. County staff visited the site on November 8, 2024 and observed one
eagle nest that is located on a property 200 feet from the intersection of 312th Ave and 317th St. The
eagle nest is not on the property being subdivided and is approximately 650 feet from the parcel being
proposed to be subdivided.
M. Concern #6: Maine-Round (476) is only 86 acres and Maine (1520> is only 32 acres. These extremely
small and shallow lakes do not have enough surface area or depth to support the additional amount
of traffic and docks is without merit. It is the land adjacent to the lake that is in question, not the lake
itself. The land adjacent to the lake has more than enough area to accommodate the 22 lots being
proposed.
N. Concern #7: Not to mention the fish. turtles and aquatic vegetation would suffer under the stress of
the added additional lots is without merit.
0. Concern #8: These lakes are free of Aquatic Invasive Species, the increased activity from the
proposed development increases the risk of the introduction of Aquatic Invasive Species is without
merit. Maine (Round) Lake (56047600) has a public access. The County has a robust Aquatic
Invasive Species program. The County's AIS Specialist has verified that a County Watercraft
Inspector has been to the public access on Maine (Round) Lake in 2024 with no watercraft to inspect.
P. Concern #9: The addition of 22 residential lots would more than quadruple the number of residential
lots on this lake. The small natural environmental lakes cannot support a development of this size
and density is without merit. It is the land adjacent to the lake that is in question, not the lake itself.
The land adjacent to the lake has plenty of area to accommodate the 22 lots being proposed.

Board of Commissioners' Meeting Minutes
January 14, 2025
Q. Concern #1 O: Construction on the lots will negatively impact water runoff on the steep slopes that are
present on the lots is without merit. Silt fencing may be required along the vegetative buffers between
the building sites and the lake.
R. Concern #11 : The request to move 14, 185 cubic yards of earth is excessive. It does not appear this
property is conducive to the type of development they are requesting if they need to alter the land to
this extent in a shore/and area is without merit. Platting of property requires the construction of a road
to township road specifications. The road is required to properly subdivide this property.
CONCLUSION
1. Otter Tail County has fulfilled the procedural requirements of law and rule applicable to the petition for
an EAW for the Century Farms Subdivision.
2. The criteria detailed in Minnesota Rule 4410.1700, subpart 7 were considered and applied to each of
the concerns raised in the Petition.
3. The identified impacts from the project will not be significant.
4. There are no elements of the project that pose the potential for significant environmental effects that
cannot be addressed through the normal regulatory and permitting processes outlined in the
Shoreland Management Ordinance of Otter Tail County.
5. Based on consideration of the criteria and factors specified in Minnesota Rules 4410, and in the
findings in this matter, Otter Tail County determines that the proposed Century Farms Subdivision
consisting of 10 riparian lots and 12 non-riparian lots, in addition to the construction of a road for the
plat, does not have the potential to cause significant environmental effects.
6. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet for Century Farms Subdivision is not required.
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was introduced by Commissioner Lahman, duly
seconded by Commissioner Sullivan and, after discussion thereof and upon vote being taken thereon, passed
on a roll call vote as follows:
