Voting: All members in favor. Jay & Melonv Taylor - Denied: A Conditional Use Permit Application for shoreline improvements. The improvements propose to restore the stability of the existing slope by replacing an existing and failing wood retaining wall with a reinforced modular block wall. The proposed design will eliminate the existing erosion forces at work and the potential attempt for a possible hill slide should the existing wall be allowed to fail completely. With the removal of the top of the slope and installation of the proposed reinforced walls we can eliminate the disastrous forces currently at work, eliminate any massive erosion and provide a stable and safe transition to the lakeshore. The sincere intention of this design is to create a more natural and visually pleasing shoreline site for all to enjoy. With the implementation of ornamental clump grasses and other native plant materials we are able to provide a transition native in appearance and which blends with the natural environment. The property is described as All Lot 36, 37 & Lot 38 Ex the Wly 20 BIk 2 & Vac Rd Adj, Pelican Point, Section 4 of Dunn Township: Pelican Lake (56-786), GD. Mike Lloyd (contractor) represented the Application. Motion: A motion by Estes, second by Trites to deny, reasons: 1. The proposal includes too large an amount of material being removed. 2. The potential for erosion is great. 3. The undisturbed portion of the slope is natural and stable. Voting: All members in favor. cr./\HNED : HVri.

While I want to do nothing to hinder the Tranas’ ability to make a living and prosper, I am greatly concerned that they are planning expansion when they do not have adequate parking for the customers they currently serve. For years, our lot which is adjacent to this one being discussed, has been encroached upon as a parking lot, dumping ground, and urinal for customers of the next door business. I realize the Tranas can do nothing about where their customers park or where they choose to leave their garbage and body wastes; however, it would be somewhat short sited not to address the parking issue prior to expansion. If we are already being used as free parking, we can only expect the problem to continue, and Otter Tali County can expect continued complaints from us regarding this issue. Please note that in the past, the Tranas have legitimately tried to solve the problem somewhat by use of public land across Hiway 108 as a sort of a parking lot. Our lot then becomes the path for customers who tend to, as I have already stated, use our lot as public domain. Eventually, people get tired of walking and cars belonging to customers of the business next door park on our lot, toss their trash, and quite often, believe it or not, urinate in public view of our cabin onto our lot. While the problem is a daily headache, around the fourth of July during their street dance / keg party, it becomes near riot size. Quite simply said, there is no street or shoulder or much more than two or three parking slots in which to have a huge gathering. And truth be told, I feel strongly that as a taxpayer that I should not have to provide free parking or dump facilities for a business that wants to expand when it has not enough legal parking spaces for current use. I want to state again that this is not a get even tactic or a vicious attempt to stifle a business. Perhaps there is a better way to meet the needs of both a business that has no room to grow and a group of neighbors who is tired of being grown over. At any rate, we need this issue to be studied as I see many problems that need to be solved and issues explored prior to further exacerbating what has become for us a daily, ugly issue all summer. Thank you for your time. Please contact me if you need further information.
