We would like to make it 12’ by 24’ adding 4’ to the west which would be 35’ from the canal and add a 12’ by 35.5’ open aired deck (south side) being approximately 35 to 36’ from canal.

Mark and LoAnn Amundson - Approved a modification to the variance as requested with conditions. (7:15 p.m.) Mark and LoAnn Amundson, Lot 1 Toussaint Heights, Pelican Lake in Scambler Township, requested the following: 1. We would like to build on foundation at sometime in near future. 2. The front of the foundation second floor has been exposed to the weather since the fire. This spring while walking on it I put my foot through the floor. We want to temporarily enclose the front and fix the floor for safety. 3. This is only a temporary enclosure when we actually build on the foundation we will remove enclosure and meet all requirements to build. This includes cutting back the foundation. The variance requested is about 25’ 866 Arlinton Ave. W. (32536 Pickerel Lane) St. Paul, MN 55117 Oct. 24, 2006 RECEIVED OCT 2 6 2006Secretary Wayne Stein Otter Tail County Board of Adjustment 510 Fir Ave. W. Fergus Falls, MN 56537 UlltK iailCO.muuiiuk FERGUS FALLS, MN Members of the Board of Adjustment: I do not support the issuance of a variance applied for by Richard and Janet Bogen and Eugene Ouren, property owners of 32548 Pickerel Lane, Maine Township. Nearly all of the lakeshore parcels on the northeast end of Pickerel Lake, including my own, are non-conforming as the shoreland there was developed in the late 50’s and early 60’s. Thus, very few lakeshore parcels meet the 150 ft. shoreline requirement presently in effect for recreational lakeshore development. Respect for one’s neighbor’s sense of space and the existence of the 10 ft. buffer on each side of a shoreland parcel are sometimes the only things preventing the feeling of overcrowding on these somewhat narrow lots. This property, with main cabin and an over-sized garage that includes attached living space was purchased in Sept. 2006 and it is assumed that the purchaser would not have purchased it if the property didn’t suit his or her purposes. The cabin is well appointed with 3 rooms available for sleeping, 2 bathrooms, living room, den, kitchen, dining room, sewing/laundry room, a spacious entry way, and a nice view of the lake. The applicants did not indicate a particular hardship that led them to seek a variance from the ordinance of a 10 foot setback from the side lot line and it seems to me that the applicants could consider other alternatives that would provide them with a reasonable use of their property without the need for a variance. Other options available to them that abide by shoreline ordinances seem to exist such as constructing more living space by adding a second floor on part of the eabin or by building onto the back side of the present structure. I see no hardship unique to the property that would require a variance from side lot line setback rules in order to increase the size of the structure. I believe the granting of this variance would be damaging to the rights of the immediate neighbors on either side of the applicants’ lot and would only promote similar requests for structures that do not conform to Otter Tail County Shoreland regulations. In my opinion, its granting would take away from the scenic views and only serve to increase the impact of further development along our shores. Again, I oppose the granting of this variance.
