Bope request for property at 39514 County Hwy 1 Wayne, as the Mayor of Camp Nidaros, I am also voicing the concerns of many of the Camp residents for a number of reasons that have been voiced by the below e-mails. According to our plats for the Camp, Lot 7 is on both sides of the road and that most of their present house and garage is on Lot 7, not Lot 9. So two dwellings on one lot I thought is prohibited. The house on the Ottertail side is used as a rental for the summer and there will be concerns that the proposed 2,000 square foot building could be a similar situation, impacting lot 8 that Camp Nidaros owns and pays taxes on that runs alongside the river of lot 7. So there should be considerations for variances to build next to that lot as well. Also, in reviewing the Shoreland Management Ordinances, there are some items that I might question related to this or at least are under consideration by you.: River's wild rice preservation, and making sure the river's shading is preserved, concern for any shore land vegetation alterations that may result from digging and building materials run-off, lot line set-backs, etc. Should there be any concerns with the artifacts that were found years ago along the river where there is a plaque currently showcasing the archeological dig I believe that were from the Ojibwa Indians. If they are digging and find any artifacts, do they have to stop and notify the appropriate agencies? Finally, can two homes run from one septic system? Or are they putting in another one? Some history of Camp Nidaros and the Bope property: Originally the Bope property. Lot 7 and Lot 9 were part of Camp. Years ago, Nidaros gave Lot 9 (along the river and into Ottertail Lake) to the Hultling family as a gift for their daughter Borghild who was a Downs Syndrome child years ago. Her sister Joanna Bope got variances from the County to build the present house on that side of the road on Ottertail, and when that happened the County said that the portion of Lot 7 on the Ottertail Lake side, was to become part of her lot 9. At that time the Bopes said they would not ever build on Lot 7 on the other side of Hwy 1, along the river and in between Lot 6 and Lot 8 when they were a part of Camp. Joanna did ask for a variance some years before she died to build there (on Lot 7 on the river side) but it was denied by Land Management. So not sure what has changed to consider it this time. 1 It always seems that these requests come through during the winter/spring months when many are not at their lake homes to be present to voice their opinions. But hopefully the e-mails will suffice. If this does go through, then consideration by others in Camp to build additional homes on their lots should also be approved if ever requested. My final concern is the timing to build which would extend into the summer when kids and families are walking, hanging out at the bridge, fishing on the bridge, underneath it, etc. With the building equipment and trucks coming and going with a construction project of this size, my concern is with the safety of those around and the disturbance to those that fish there and the impact of access to walk underneath the bridge, not to mention that noise associated with builds. Thanks Wayne for considering the above concerns and our request to not approve this.

Bope request for property at 39514 County Hwy 1 From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Wayne, as the Mayor of Camp Nidaros, I am also voicing the concerns of many of the Camp residents for a number of reasons that have been voiced by the below e-mails. According to our plats for the Camp, Lot 7 is on both sides of the road and that most of their present house and garage is on Lot 7, not Lot 9. So two dwellings on one lot I thought is prohibited. The house on the Ottertail side is used as a rental for the summer and there will be concerns that the proposed 2,000 square foot building could be a similar situation, impacting lot 8 that Camp Nidaros owns and pays taxes on that runs alongside the river of lot 7. So there should be considerations for variances to build next to that lot as well. Also, in reviewing the Shoreland Management Ordinances, there are some items that I might question related to this or at least are under consideration by you.: River's wild rice preservation, and making sure the river's shading is preserved, concern for any shore land vegetation alterations that may result from digging and building materials run-off, lot line set-backs, etc. Should there be any concerns with the artifacts that were found years ago along the river where there is a plaque currently showcasing the archeological dig I believe that were from the Ojibwa Indians. If they are digging and find any artifacts, do they have to stop and notify the appropriate agencies? Finally, can two homes run from one septic system? Or are they putting in another one? Some history of Camp Nidaros and the Bope property: Originally the Bope property. Lot 7 and Lot 9 were part of Camp. Years ago, Nidaros gave Lot 9 (along the river and into Ottertail Lake) to the Hultling family as a gift for their daughter Borghild who was a Downs Syndrome child years ago. Her sister Joanna Bope got variances from the County to build the present house on that side of the road on Ottertail, and when that happened the County said that the portion of Lot 7 on the Ottertail Lake side, was to become part of her lot 9. At that time the Bopes said they would not ever build on Lot 7 on the other side of Hwy 1, along the river and in between Lot 6 and Lot 8 when they were a part of Camp. Joanna did ask for a variance some years before she died to build there (on Lot 7 on the river side) but it was denied by Land Management. So not sure what has changed to consider it this time. It always seems that these requests come through during the winter/spring months when many are not at their lake homes to be present to voice their opinions. But hopefully the e-mails will suffice. If this does go through, then consideration by others in Camp to build additional homes on their lots should also be approved if ever requested. My final concern is the timing to build which would extend into the summer when kids and families are walking, hanging out at the bridge, fishing on the bridge, underneath it, etc. With the building equipment and trucks coming and going with a construction project of this size, my concern is with the safety of those around and the disturbance to those that fish there and the impact of access to walk underneath the bridge, not to mention that noise associated with builds.

Phone; (480)540-9057 2 April 27,2016 Dear Ottertail County Commissioners, I am the owner of Lot #18 in Camp Nidaros. My cottage was built there by my grandfather Jacob Tanner in 1917. 1 am writing concerning the Hope family request for a variance on property Lot #7 - Camp Nidaros. The Hope’s are asking for a variance to build an additional house on the back of their property. This space was available to them originally but they chose instead (with permission) to build across the road on lakeshore. The reason the property is unbuildable is that they needed to use the space for their septic system. The lot bordering the Hope’s property along the Dead River belongs to all Camp Nidaros property owners. There are no second cabins on any of the eighteen property lots in Camp Nidaros. I have 175 feet of shoreline on Walker Lake, but I doubt 1 could get permission to build another cottage on my property or even put in a toilet in my shed. I am vehemently opposed to allowing a second house to be built on Lot 7 at Camp Nidaros.

Additional drawings/plans will most likely be provided when the applicant applies for a site permit. Those drawings/plans would be available from the Land and Resource Department. I have attached the minutes from the meeting. These will also be posted to the county web site within a couple of days. All of the emails that I had receive by 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 12 were read at the public hearing and consider by the membership of the Board of Adjustment. When an individual applies for a variance there is a requirement that the project area is marked to assist the members of the Board of Adjustment with their review of the property. This particular application was dated April 18 and I believe the requirement is to have the project area marked within 4 days; however, I might not have that correct since I don't work directly with that part of the process. So it is very possible that the project area was marked for also a month before the public hearing. The Board's decision to approve the variance was strongly based upon a variance approved in 1987, which separated as two lots that portion of Lot 7 north and south of the road . The part south of the road was added to lot 9. See the note on the top of the attached drawing, which states the DNR staked the ordinary high water level. To the best of my knowledge there was no request to stake the lot lines. Also, Otter Tail County does not stake lot lines. It is the responsibility of the property owner to know the location of their lot lines. If there is a disagreement between neighbors regarding the location of a share lot line one or both of those parties might have to have the property survey and in some cases legal action is required to establish the lot line. There was no variance granted from the required 10' setback from the lot line; therefore, the proposed development will need to be at least 10' from the lot line. I believe I have answered all of the questions in your two emails. Sincerely, Wayne Stein, County Auditor - Treasurer Government Services Center 510 Fir Ave W.

At that time the Bopes said they would not ever build on Lot 7 on the other side of Hwy 1, along the river and in between Lot 6 and Lot 8 when they were a part of Camp. Joanna did ask for a variance some years before she died to build there (on Lot 7 on the river side) but it was denied by Land Management. So not sure what has changed to consider it this time. It always seems that these requests come through during the winter/spring months when many are not at their lake homes to be present to voice their opinions. But hopefully the e-mails will suffice. If this does go through, then consideration by others in Camp to build additional homes on their lots should also be approved if ever requested. My final concern is the timing to build which would extend into the summer when kids and families are walking, hanging out at the bridge, fishing on the bridge, underneath it, etc. With the building equipment and trucks coming and going with a construction project of this size, my concern is with the safety of those around and the disturbance to those that fish there and the impact of access to walk underneath the bridge, not to mention that noise associated with builds. Thanks Wayne for considering the above concerns and our request to not approve this.

Bope request for property at 39514 County Hwy 1 Our lot abuts the Bope lot and we have never been allowed to build another building or residence on our lot! I would oppose their putting another building on their property til my last breath. They have already far exceeded the allowed distance from the lake and the river, and I never approved that either. This is the first I have heard of their plans and the very idea is outrageous.

Bope request for property at 39514 County Hwy 1 I am a resident of Camp Nidaros and am against approving this variance. The lots in Camp Nidaros were set up in 1910 to each house ONE DWELLING. The lots on the Ottertail Lake side originally ended at the main road. In the early 1950’s our camp mayor (now deceased) designated that those lots could extent beyond the main road to the Lake. The Bopes optioned to abandon their original cabin and build a cabin across the road right by the lake. The old cabin had no electricity or water and sat vacant until it eventually fell down. The camp rules still exist saying that there can be only ONE dwelling per lot. Jean Harney 68459 Camp Nidaros TrI.

David Bope - Variance application approved as requested. (8:40 p.m.) David Bope, part of Lot 7 Camp Nidaros, Dead River in Amor Township, requested the following: A reduction of the structural setback from the 100 feet to 50 feet. A 100’ setback makes the lot unbuildable. Sue Sethre appeared with the applicant at the public hearing. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the variance as requested. Letters and emails from the following individuals in opposition to the variance as requested were read for the record: Alice Tanner Govig, Marti Gross, Jean Harney, Julie Johnson and Beverly Satre. After discussion and consideration, Richard Gabe made a motion, second by Paul Larson and carried with Thomas Lee voting no, to approve a variance of 50’from the required ordinary high water level setback of 100’ for a building site location 50’ from the ordinary high water level. The variance was approved based upon information in the applicant’s file that indicates that the portion of Lot 7 north of the road is a separate lot from that part of Lot 7 which is south of the road (1987 variance). It was also noted that Lot 7 south of the road is combined with Lot 9. The variance as approve does not directly or indirectly grant any other variances for the proposed development.

Requesting a variance of 713.5 square feet in shore impact zone. Total of 975 square feet in Shore Impact Zone. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the variance as requested. After discussion and consideration, Paul Larson made a motion, second by Thomas Lee and unanimously carried, to a approve a variance of 42’ from the required ordinary high water level setback of 75’, a variance of 4’ from the required road right-of- way setback of 20’ and a variance of 713.5 square feet from the allow imperious surface coverage in the shore impact zone of 260 square feet for the placement of new dwelling and attached garage 33’ from the ordinary high water level and 16’ from the road right-of-way, which will result in 975 square feet of impervious surface within the shore impact zone as described in the variance application dated April 21, 2016 and as depicted on the drawing submitted with the variance application. It was noted that this variance approval is consistent with past action of the Board of Adjustment in this immediate area. The variances as approve do not directly or indirectly grant any other variances for the proposed development. Tyler Blaine - Variance application approved as requested.
