The Board of Adjustment understood that the granting of this variance would place the septic tank less than 10’ from the deck, however, due to practical difficulties (water level), the need to provide the applicants with a reasonable use of their property and the lack of other alternative sites for the placement of the septic tank it was the opinion of the Board of Adjustment that this was the best that could be done and that this variance approval will not establish a precedence because of the unique situation. -------- Chairman/Otter Tail Board of Adjustmentoun Permit!^required from Land & Resource Management Yes (Contact Land & Resource Management) No Copy of Application Mailed to Applicant And the MN DNR L R Official/uate bk 0501-001 305,391 • Victor Lundeen Cc..

So we want to raise the back or south side of roof in a dormer fashion so that we will have more headroom on that side or south side of roof. The north side of roof is higher than the back or south side. The building will not be made wider, longer etc. Just part of same maybe 3 to 5 ft higher to match front. Carpenter calls it changing roof style." It appears that the variance necessary is a variance to raise a roof on a second dwelling (sleeping room).
