Mr. George Walter, Chairman
Otter Tail County Board of Adjustment
Otter Tail County Courthouse
Fergus Falls, MN 56537
Dear Mr. Walter:
This letter is in response to an inquiry I have recently received from Joe Weller of Joe’s
Backhoe. He stated that he plans to construct a new sewer system on Dan and Joyce Peterson’s
property on West Leaf Lake. Mr. Weller stated that he has applied for a variance through your
Board to construct a sewage drainfield less than the required distance from a building. Your
Board tabled this application awaiting a response from me.
I am currently employed by the Mirmesota Department of Health in the Well Management
Section. Our Section is responsible for the enforcement of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 1031 and
Minnesota Rules, Chapter 4725 (Well Construction Code). We do get involved from time to
time with the placement of on-site sewage treatment systems when they are constructed at a
location which either does not meet the requirements of Mirmesota Rules, Chapter 4725, or has
the potential to impact a water-supply well. Our Section does not have authority to regulate the
placement of sewage systems in relation to any other item, such as buildings, lakes, property
lines.
Thus, I am in no position of authority to comment on the placement of a sewage drainfield at a
distance less than what is required by the applicable rule or ordinance. If you have additional
questions about this, you should contact Otter Tail County Land and Resource Management or
the Mirmesota Pollution Control Agency.
If you have other questions which pertain to the placement of a sewage treatment system in
relation to a well please contact me at 218/739-7585.
Sincerely,
,Jeffrey Grugel, District Hydrologist

Joyce Petersen - Tabled
Dan and Joyce Petersen, Henning, MN, requested a variance of 10’ from the required 20’
dwelling setback and a variance of 9’ from the required lot line setback of 10’ for the placement
of a drain field 10’ from the dwelling and T from the lot line. The property is described as part of
Government Lot 1, Section 21 of Leaf Lake Township by West Leaf Lake. The audience was
polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After consideration, motion was made
by Randall Mann, seconded by John Everts and unanimously carried, to table the applicants’
request until the August 6, 1998 Board of Adjustment meeting for the purpose of providing the
applicants with an opportunity to review and discuss their plans with the Minnesota Department
of Health.
Roger Johnson - Withdrawn
Roger Johnson, Battle Lake, MN, requested a variance “to add a 10’ by 16’ deck with a
screened in porch to the front of our home. We request that the deck could be located 33’ off
the center of lot to the west. The porch would have a hip roof to meet the requirements of
height for this structure.’’ The required side lot line setback for a water - oriented accessory
structure is 65’. The property is described as the East 60’ of Lot 11 and the West 70’ of Lot 12,
E-L-M Dale Beach, Clitherall Lake in Clitherall Township. Randall Mann informed the Board
that he would be abstaining from any action on this request as he owns property that is adjacent
to Mr. Johnson’s property. After discussion and consideration the applicant informed the Board
of Adjustment of his desire to withdraw his request. The Board of Adjustment acknowledges the
applicant’s request and authorized a partial refund of the applicant’s application fee.
Scott and Jamie Stenseth - Approved
Scott and Jamie Stenseth, Fargo, ND, requested a variance “to build one story above a pre
existing sub-basement that had been built into a bluff. The project would be to build this
“ground-level” story the exact dimensions of the basement, and would involve no new
excavation or alteration of the bluff. The existing basement has a flat roof - consequently water
runoff down the face of the bluff is poor. One benefit to the proposed project would be improved
water runoff through attached gutters to pre-existing “on property” concrete gutters to the lake.
The variance would allow the upper structure to be 53’ from the lake. Also, I am requesting a
variance to replace an existing 8’ by 26’ concrete slab (used as a deck) on the “lake side” of the
existing basemen structure. The slab is slowly moving away from the basement foundation and
down the face of the bluff. My request is to be able to remove the slab to prevent future
damage to the bluff. I would then stabilize the surface under the slab and replace the 8’ by 26’
slab with a “same - size" wooden deck on posts. The variance would allow me to replace the
deck in the bluff approx. 45’ from the lake.” The required ordinary high water level setback is
75’ and the required top of bluff setback is 30’. The property is described as Sub Lot 5 of
Government Lot 1, Section 26 of Lida Township by Lake Lida. The audience was polled with no
one speaking for or against the request. After consideration, motion was made by Randall
Mann, seconded by John Everts and carried with Cecil Femling and Dick Sha voting no, to allow
the second story addition over the existing basement with the condition that before a site permit
for the addition can be issued the existing boat house must be removed with the exception of
the slab, which can be covered with a platform deck. After additional discussion and
consideration, motion was made by John Everts, seconded by George Walter and carried with
Cecil Femling and Dick Sha voting no, to grant the applicant the option of removing the 8’ by 26’
slab on the lakeside of the existing cabin and replacing the slab with a stabilized wooden
platform subject to the assistance, development, evaluation and approval of the applicants’£lan
by the Land and Resource Department. . /"s v.' ■ ■ ‘ is
