Dated July 17, 1989 CLITHERALL LAKE ASSOCIATION P. 0. Box 54 Battle lake, MN 56515 Board of Adjustment Otter Tail County Courthouse Fergus Falls, MN 56537 July 31, 1989 Dear Sirs, This letter is to advise you that CLITHERALL LAKE ASSOCIATION, made up of more than 50% of the property owners, as well as 1 business owner in Battle Lake and 1 resort owner on the lake, oppose the variance request by Paul H. Boyum, to be heard by the Board of Adjustment, August 3, 1989. Two specific reasons exist: 1)The precedent established by granting this variance would automatically apply itself to Lots 1, 2 and 3. 2)The likelihood that a subsequent variance would be requested for waste disposal, or problems that would be related to the question of where and how waste would be disposed of. Management ordinance standards for even a sealed tank require 75' setback from the lakeshore. Shore land Much conversation by Clitherall property owners has taken place about this variance request: the perception is that it has been common knowledge for a long time that these government lots were not buildable, otherwise they certainly would have sold at an earlier date, just to the other hundreds of property owners, taxpayers and Otter Tail registered voters who live on this lake, that an individual first buys the lot then must plead for a variance. The question of the variance should have been settled first. It does not seem fair or We became aware early this year, only by chance, that a road had been cut into the bluff of the lot in question. We wondered if this had been approved by Shoreland Management prior to the work starting, or after the fact when nothing could be done to remedy the potential problems of erosion above a good walleye fishing area? Was this approached in the same fashion as the current variance request? Again, the CLA opposes this variance request and we respectfully ask that it be denied. Yours truly.

Bergerud, Secretary Ottertall County Board of Adjustment Ottertall County Courthouse Fergus Falls, MN 56537 RE I PUBLIC NOTICE, BATTLE LAKE REVIEW OF JULY 26 PAUL BOYUM VARIANCE REQUEST 1989 Dear Board Memberst As you know Clltheral Lake Is designated a recreational development lake which requires a 100 foot setback for buildings. Appropriate setbacks are established to protect the lake from pollution caused by erosion, runoff and sewage; and also protect adjacent properties. In this case there does not appear to be a particular hardship or practical difficulty in meeting the setbacks in the ordinance; therefore the Shoreland Regulations in the County Ordinance should be upheld. The Board of adjustment did uphold the Regulations when the previous owner applied for a variance and was denied. If Mr. Boyum is granted the 50 foot variance for his camper, would he subsequently need a variance for the septic system? Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Very Truly Yours, herald Elnerson A property owner on Clitheral Lake CCt Directors of Clltheral Lake Association
