Board of Adjustment Otter Tail County Government Services Center 510 Fir Ave W Fergus Falls, MN 56537 To:May 21, 2008 Leslie Sass 356 Audubon LN Hudson, WI 54016 From: I understand that Bruce Melin and Kathyn Kenna, 1218 S 23'^'* St, Grand Forks, ND have made application to the Otter Tail County Board of Adjustment for a variance of 25 ft. from the required ordinary high water level setback of 100 ft for the location of a storage building on their property at 46307 Lands End Road on Loon Lake in Candor Township. I own the adjacent property at 46289 Lands End Road. I have reviewed the proposed location for the storage building and have no objection to the granting of this variance. Although the lot size is not sub-standard, the large peninsula, steep hillside, and existing road way limit the availability of a building site that would meet the 100 ft. setback requirement. The site proposed and the variance requested is on a shallow bay that is away from the main channel of the lake. The owners plan to utilize the existing line of large pine trees to screen the visibility of the building from the main lake and adjacent property owners. Given all of these factors, I feel the proposed site offers the best solution with the lowest level of impact on the lake and adjacent properties. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be heard on this issue. Sincerely, RECEIVED MAY 2 / Z008 Ul ItK IAILCU.AUUIIUK FERGUS FALLS, MN
