Our names are Thomas & Joann Lienke & we own the
last lot on Flicker Lane, just down the road from Duane &
Lisa Augustus. We are writing you to express our support in
regards to the attached conditional use permit application

in total support of their request & feel that their business will
be a great asset for all people in the area.
We currently reside in San Diego & won't be able to
attend your meeting, but wanted to express our support for
this action. We will be looking to start building our
retirement home on our property in the near future & having
the best outboard mechanic in the county just down the
road will be wonderful.
Thank you for your time & consideration.

Re: Conditional Use Permit Hearing - Augustus. 48037 Flicker Lane, Ottertail
Dear Mr. Olson
We’ve received the Notice of Public Hearing regarding the above property.
Unfortunately, the notice gives little specific information. To understand Mr. Augustus’
CUP request, I called and spoke to him this morning. 1 believe he was candid and
forthright in describing his intentions.
My wife and I have a couple of serious concerns.
Our first and a primary concern regards the negative impact on our property value. Our
lake home property on West Leaf Lake is at 48130 Flicker Lane, directly across Flicker
Lane from the property in question. Our “rural residential” lakeshore property is
currently valued by Otter Tail County at $229,000. The County has increased this value
just over 70% in just the past 4 years (with no improvements). Considering our modest
A-frame cabin is 32 years old and only 960 sq. ft., it’s obvious the real value of our
property is in its 217 feet of lakeshore. It’s also obvious that if we suddenly find
ourselves across the street from a “full fledged” commercial business, possibly or
probably including commercial signage, lighting, customer traffic, customer parking
areas, etc., it absolutely will have a negative impact on the resale value of our investment
(our property). This is something we do not want and we vehemently oppose such a
commercial business. Further, with so much undeveloped land in the area, it makes no
sense to allow a full time commercial business directly adjacent to valuable residential
lakeshore.
A second concern is one of preserving the lakeshore owner’s land usage and quiet
enjoyment as it is, and preserving the inherent nature and aesthetics of our lakeshore
property. The major impact of a serious and obvious commercial business immediately
adjacent to residential lakeshore property is significant and unacceptable.
SCANNED
- 2 -
A final, secondary consideration is the impact on our gravel township road - primarily
480 Street and a short portion of Flicker Lane. Both roads are minimally maintained by
the township with a poor grade gravel, graded 3 or 4 times per month. No effort or
treatment is made to control the significant and constant dust. At present, 480**’ Street is,
in fact, a dead end street. This means almost every vehicle traveling 480*’’ is “necessary”
travel by a local resident. Additional traffic - from vehicles and trailers not common to
the area - will obviously necessitate more maintenance, more expense to the township
land owners, and generate more objectionable dust.
I have discussed this issue with our immediate lakeshore neighbors, Bemie and Betty
Freske (48136 Flicker Lane). Their property is just east of mine and also across Flicker
from the property in question. Mr. & Mrs. Freske share our concerns and objections, and
oppose any frill time obvious business on Flicker Lane.
In addition, Bemie says he had a lengthy discussion yesterday regarding the proposed
CUP with Mr. Jim Guddal, who also owns lakeshore property at 48210 Flicker. Mr.
Guddal also shares our concerns and objections.
It is the county’s responsibility to preserve, safeguard and enhance the natural and
aesthetic value of our lakeshore. Granting this CUP is not in keeping with this
obligation.
While we would like to support a neighbor, this CUP is not appropriate and should not be
granted.
Sincerely, ^
(P.S.: It is my intention to try to attend the meeting August lb**", but I want to express my
concerns here in the event I’m unable to.)

To the Commission:
Re: Augustus on west Leaf Lake 56-114 RD
Property Location 48037 Flicker Lane
Hearing: 8/16/06 6:30PM
Applicant Augustus is applying for a conditional use permit for both a storage facility
business and for a boat/engine/trailer repair business.
Currently, there exists a similar business and facility just off HiWay 108 about 1 mile
east of Otter Tail City. That business has boats, pontoons, trailers, docks, etc laying all
over the place both by the road and setback around buildings. Storage is not limited to
inside buildings but wherever that owner has space. There is no fencing of any kind to
hide what is fast becoming a public eyesore and degradation to surrounding property
values.
We believe it is not appropriate use of lakeshore and adjacent land to be used for a
business of this type. Many of us have invested a great deal in our homes to add value to
the neighborhood. (A fact not lost to the tax assessor) To allow a business of this
nature on 6.46 ac by the lakeshore Is just not right and a misuse of the land. There
are other places within the commercial area surrounding Otter Tail City where storing
boats and having a repair business is more suitable. Another factor is this business will
create more traffic and require more maintenance to our gravel township road. If you
approve this use, how will this business owner pay for his fair share of the increased
cost?
The commission should also be aware that this owner has owned the property several
years and has not shown good stewardship. Existing bam buildings need painting, boats
and equipment are left here and there. It seems to us that if a permit is granted, the
current eyesore will only get worse.
We have to drive by this property to get to ours. Should the Commission's decision be to
grant this most inappropriate use, then don’t be surprised if our association petitions for a
significant reduction to assessed value of all the properties along Flicker Lane.
Please, do notj

RE; Notice of Public Hearing for Dwayne & Lisa Augustus on August 16, 2006
Dear Mr. Olson:
I am writing in favor of this request. I totally approve of the construction of a marine storage
facility and marine repair business at the Augustus property. I feel it will provide increased
property tax revenue and fill the need for a marine repair facility in our “Heart of the Lakes”
community. Currently, there is limited local marine repair service available. Additionally, the
building will provide a snow block between the farmland and roadway to help keep the
road from drifting-in during Winter months.
I hope that you will grant the Augustus’ request to make these improvements within our
area.
