Printers • Fergus Fells. Mmnesoie Ottertail County Variance BoardTO: FROM: Larry M. Atkins DATE: August 12, 1997 SUBJECT: Fire Number L4222 The following are the reasons for my request for variances with the fish house and storage sheds on my property. The property was purchased on April 29, 1988 and the first shed (fish house) was built 2 feet from lot line and 21 feet from OHWL on August 5, 1988, this shed is 8x10. The second shed was built on August 2, 1992 and is 2 ft. from lot line and 61 feet from OHWL. Both of these sheds have been there for over five years and both of them have underground wiring for lights that I put in. As you can see by the pictures, if I move those two sheds inside the lot line, it will prevent me from taking out 160 feet of roll-in-dock and also my canopy since there is rip rap 10 feet further east. I have over $7,000 invested in dock and boat lifts and would be unable to use them if the sheds were moved. In addition, I assumed that they were both okay since a good amount of time has elapsed. The third shed was built this year by the same carpenter who built the other one and I thought everything was in compliance but it was my fault for not checking. That third shed is 10 x 12 and I realize that it is not in compliance with regulations, so I am asking to move it across the lot where it would be closer to compliance. My problem is that there is a tree on the other side, as per the picture and I would like to keep this shed to the shoreline side rather than move it to the other side of the tree and block my neighbors view. Neighbors on both sides would prefer that my request for these variances be okayed rather than moving them to some other position. R^s^C^lly submitted, Larry M. Atkins P.O.

MN 56537 April 14, 1998 Mr. Larry M. Atkins PO Box 9799 Fargo, ND 58106-9799 RE: March 26, 1998, Board of Adjustment Meeting. Dear Mr. Atkins, Enclosed please find the following: 1. A revised copy of the minutes of the Thursday, March 26, 1998, Board of Adjustment Meeting, and 2. A copy of the tape from the above referenced meeting. In reviewing your file I did find a copy of the revised request that had been forward to Pat Eckert and which he did present for my review. Upon my review a decision was made that a new application for variance was not required since your variance requests were of the same type and basically you were requesting fewer and smaller variances from what was contained within the original application for variance. The minutes of the Board of Adjustment meeting typically reflect what has been requested in the official application for variance, the names of individuals from the audience who speak, a brief legal description of the property and the action taken by the Board of Adjustment. Generally, the minutes have not reflected all of the conversation and discussion leading up to the Board of Adjustment’s action nor have revised or modified request been reflected in the minutes unless they become a part of the Board of Adjustment’s motion or unless the Board of Adjustment’s motion depends upon the revision or modification that has been presented. I understand from our conservation that your were greatly disappointed with the minutes of the March 26, 1998 meeting and generally with the Board of Adjustment. I have very little control over actions of the membership of the Board of Adjustment, but I do prepare the minutes for each meeting. Therefore I have revised my minutes as they related to your particular public hearing. The minutes now include your original request, your revised requested as stated in your letter of March 24, 1998, your drawing as an attachment to the minutes, my summary of your revised request, summarized highlights of the discussion (not intended to be a transcript of the meeting) and the Board of Adjustment’s action. I hope you find this revision acceptable and I hope the revision contains sufficient information to address your concerns. If you should have any questions or additional concerns after reviewing this information please feel free to contact. I sincerely apologize for any problems my previously prepared minutes may have created between you and your neighbors.
