(7:30 p.m.) Jim and Carol Peterson, part of Government Lot 6, Section 12 of Maine Township by Pickerel Lake, requested the following: Install an L-Shaped mound drain, starting the mound at 12” above the ordinary high water level as required by the State of Minnesota. Otter Tail County currently requires 24" of separation to start a mound. We are asking for a variance of 12” separation as required by State Code. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the variance as requested. A letter from the Maine Town Board of Supervisors in support of the variance as requested and noting that Maine Township would accept no responsibilities for any damages to the proposed system was read for the record. After consideration and discussion, Carl Zick made a motion, second by lies Estes and unanimously carried, to approve the variance as requested in the variance application dated August 13,2007 and as depicted on the Site Data Worksheet submitted with the variance application. Glenn Fladmark-Tabled. (7:35 p.m.) Glenn Fladmark, Lot 5 Lucky Horse Shoe Bay, Lake Lida in Lida Township, requested a variance of 15’ from the required ordinary high water level setback of 75’ for the placement of a 28’ by 50’ dwelling 60’ from the ordinary high water level. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the variance as requested. Letters from James and Patricia Clarke and Debra Mooney in support of the variance as requested was read for the record. During review of the applicant drawing it was noted that the applicant’s proposed development also requires a variance from the road right-of-way which cannot be considered at this public hearing since a road right-of-way variance was not a part of the originally variance application. The following options were explained to the applicant: 1.) the request could be acted upon as submitted which if approved would require that the proposed development be placed at least 20’ from the road right-of-way, 2.) the request could be tabled to allow the applicant an opportunity to consider other alternatives that would not require a variance from the road right-of-way, and 3.) the applicant would submit a new application for consideration by the Board of Adjustment at their October meeting requesting variances from the ordinary high water level and road right-of-way. It was stressed that a new application would be required if the applicant would be requesting any additional variances. After consideration and discussion, Randall Mann made a motion, second by Steve Schierer and unanimously carried, to table this variance hearing until the October 4, 2007 meeting to provide the applicant with an opportunity to consider other alternatives that would not required a variance from the road right-of-way. It was noted that this option stills provides the applicant with the ability to submit a new variance application requesting the road right-of-way variance. The Board did not indicate whether or not they would approve a road right-of-way variance. Darrin and Catherine Cox - Denied. (7:47 p.m.) Darrin and Catherine Cox, part of Government Lot 1, Section 19 of Amor Township by Twin Lake, requested a variance of 7’ from the required side lot line setback of 10’ for the placement of a 24’ by 40’ structure 3’ from the side lot line at the closest point. The audience was polled with Vernon Ege speaking to the variance as requested. Letters from Lawrence and Carol Mikkelson, Jim and Julie Gronbeck, Cindy Bolken and Muriel and Vern Foster in support of the variance as requested was read for the record. After consideration and discussion, Paul Larson made a motion, second by Carl Zick and unanimously carried, to deny the variance as requested as no adequate hardship unique to the property had been shown that would allow for the granting of the variance as requested and noting that the only hardship is a self imposed hardship which was created when the garage was constructed without knowing the exact location of the lot line. It was noted that the applicants’ request is an after the fact request and had the applicants submitted a variance application prior to starting the garage construction project the Board would not have granted the 7’ variance because the applicants had other locations available for the placement of the garage that would have provided the applicants with a reasonable use of their property and would not have required the variance as requested.
