Page 1Wayne Stein - Re: Notice of Hearing for Variance <MJWahlgren@aol.com> wstein@co.otter-tail.mn. us 9/26/08 4:34PM Re: Notice of Hearing for Variance From: To: Date: Subject: Wayne Stein: We have received notice of the hearing for Patricia Ellerbush that will be held on Thursday, October 2, 2008 at 6:00pm but are unable to attend. We are not in favor of granting this request and are concerned that it could be the first of many such requests. At the time those back lots were approved we attended the hearing and were assured that there would not be any residential units built on these lots at any time in the future. Because of the assurances given at that time we do not feel approving this variance would be the best course of action. The back lots do not have a common access to the lake in that area and this could lead to trespass problems. Thank you for passing our concerns on to the Board of Adjustment.
