MN 56537 Date: November 28, 1997 To: Board of Adjustment From: Wayne Stein .S' • t tv RE: Special Variance Request. Roy A. Smith, Surveyor, has submitted a special request for consideration by the Otter Tail County Board of Adjustment. Enclosed you will find a letter of explanation and a registered surveyor’s drawing concerning his request. Mr. Smith on behalf of Noel and Jan Schroeder, sellers and Derek Christenson, buyer, has submitted this special request because of the possibility that the Otter Tail County Board of Adjustment may not be scheduled to meet again until late March or early April of 1998. At the present time I have received four applications for our first scheduled meeting of 1998. This includes a variance application for this special request that you are now being asked to consider. The Subdivision Controls Ordinance does not contain provisions for the special consideration of a variance request. I offered a couple of different options to Mr. Smith and this is the option that has been chosen. Special consideration may not be necessary or needed should the Board decided to hold a meeting on Thursday, January 8, 1998. Special consideration might not be appropriate since there is no specific authorization to grant a variance in advance of the formal hearing process. Special consideration also might not be appropriate since there are presently three other applicants that have submitted an application for the first variance meeting of 1998 who would perhaps like the same consideration as being requested by Mr. Smith. In summary, Mr. Smith is requesting that the Otter Tail County Board of Adjustment authorize the County Auditor’s office to accept for recording, prior to the holding of a formal variance hearing, a document conveying a parcel of less than 5 acres. Should the Otter Tail County Board of Adjustment grant his request then the variance application would be scheduled for and formally acted upon at the first scheduled meeting of 1998. I believe Mr. Smith has requested this special consideration because he feels this is a reasonable request, which the Otter Tail County Board of Adjustment would approve at their first scheduled meeting in 1998. Therefore, if special consideration is granted his clients will be able to complete their transaction in 1997. If you should have any questions please feel free to contact me. SCANNED ROY A.

AUDITOR NOV 24 1997 FERGUS FALLS, MNOtter Tail County Variance Board Courthouse Fergus Falls, MN 56573 Dear Board Members: I am writing on behalf of Noel and Jan Schroeder, sellers, and Derek Christenson, buyer, of a 2.58 acre tract of land located in the Northwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 20 of Leaf Lake Township. This summer the Schroeders ourchased 57.92 acres of land in Section 20. ^art of the acreage included a farmstead. I surveyed their acouisition and the 2.58 acre tract they are selling. The 2.58 ac>"e tract of land is a part of the farmstead. It contains a house and a small out building. It has adequate road access since it fronts on County State Aid Highway No. 61 and adequate area for 2 septic systems. The remaining farm buidings including barns, quonset, sheds and garage will be retained by the Schroeders with the 55.34 agricultural acres. The 2.58 acre tract is located within 1000 feet of Grass Lake which lies to the west across County State Aid Highway No. 61. Since the ti^act is under 5.00 acres we are seeking a va**iance. We have missed the cutoff date for the December meeting. The Schroeders have made the necessary application for the variance and I have submitted six copies of the survey showing the tract. The buyer, seller and lender are desirous of having the documents recorded before the 1st of the year. Since there is a possibilty of no meetings in the first months of 1998 timing is a problem. I have consulted with Auditor Wayne Stein outlining our problem. Wayne has been very helpful in seeking a solution. Please consider granting the Auditors Office authorization to accept the deeds for this tract after reviewal of the variance application. The enclosed application could then be acted on at the first available meeting. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. PAS/ndd SCANNED T.134N. - R.38W. G2000 Cloud Canographu s. Inc.

It was noted that the 2.58- acre parcel has access to a public road and has adequate room for two on-site septic systems. Robert J. and Cheryl K. Sefkow - Tabled Robert J. and Cheryl K. Sefkow, Fergus Falls, MN, requested a variance to “install holding tank to replace nonconforming cesspool. The proposed location of the holding tank is merely a proposal. We will locate the holding tank wherever permitted by the Board of Adjustment. The tank’s location is not important to us. We simply want permission to locate it somewhere on the lot to eliminate the existing cesspool altogether.” A sketch of the applicants’ proposed plan is on file with the County Auditor’s office. The property is described as Lot 10, Parkdale Beach, Swan Lake in Dane Prairie Township. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After consideration, motion was made by Craig Anderson, seconded by John Everts and unanimously carried, to table the applicants’ request until the next schedule meeting so that the applicants have an opportunity to review the information contained within the Land and Resource file. LeRoy and Lorraine Tuffs - Approved LeRoy and Lorraine Tuffs, Deer Creek, MN, requested a variance of 10’ from the required 20’ road right-of-way setback to the north, a variance of 13’ from the required 20’ road right-of-way setback to the west and a variance of 4’ from the required holding tank setback of 10’ for the placement of a 28’ by 38’ garage 10’ from the road right-of-way to the north, 7' from the road right-of-way to the west and 6’ from the holding tank.

It was noted that the garage is 8' from the road right-of-way at the closest point and that the setback distance is approximately 25’ at the Southwest corner of the garage. It was noted that adequate room would exist for the maintenance of the septic system if the garage were placed 6’ from the septic tank. Hardship is the biased lot line and the existence of a road on both the north and west side of the applicant’s property.
