Bill Kalar, Director - Land and Resource DepartmentCC: Wayne Stein: County Auditor Ottertail County Board of Adjustments Treasurer's office 510 West Fir Avenue Fergus Falls, MN 56537 OTTER TAIL CO. AUDITOR FERGUS FALLS, MNSeptember 10, 2015 Dear Sir: We want to thank you and the Board for the patience you have shown in dealing with our request to build a home on our property at 45203 Cozy Oak Drive in Ottertail, MN. When we first got excited about the opportunity to have a 4 season home there, we submitted a plan for a 50' X 56' dwelling with a two car garage and a new driveway coming off Cozy Oak Drive. The driveway option was assessed and approved by the township board in the fall of 2014. Due to the narrow shape of our lot, most of that project was not able to be in the build-able space we have on our land. We asked for a variance which was then tabled until we could come up with a proposal that would be more within your guidelines. After exploring several possibilities such as waiting to see if county policy was changing, looking into building at a different location on the lot, or adding an addition to the existing rustic cabin, we have settled upon what we believe can be a workable solution. What we propose is to be able to build in the same area as the initial site plan, but to down size considerably. Instead of a 50'x56' home, we would like to be allowed to build a 37' x 25' building. It would be located in the far NE comer of our lot, with as much of it as possible within the strip of build- able land. With it's smaller size, more than one third of the building would be in compliance. Our initial plans had the home about 60 ft from the lake. The new plan would now be as much as 85' from the lake shore. Access to the lake would remain as it is currently, with no additional dock, and no aquatic or shoreline vegetation would be disturbed. We would make every effort to protect the landscape and remove only the trees necessary to build the home, maintaining as much privacy and natural environment as possible. Our local builder, Rick Bladow, has assured us that there would be room for a drain-field, thus finally bringing modem sanitation to the property. It has been our good fortune to have enjoyed that area since 1974 and we have the utmost respect for Long Lake and it's fish, birds and other wildlife. As you know, there is another small cabin on the property. It is a 22.5'x 24' seasonal cabin with no running water. It has been there since 1934. The variance we ask for would allow us to build a second stmcture (4 season home) on the lot, one which would be 85' off the lake instead of the required 100 ft. and to have 600 sq.ft, of the home in a non-compliant zone. We would need this to be classified as a cluster development and the new home would be outside of the 50' set back required. ..wiir ^ The entire footprint of both buildings, the old cabin and the new home, would only be 1485 square feet on a lot that according to Anderson Land Surveying Inc., has 69,716 sq. ft. and could certainly support two structures. Without the ability to build a 4 season home on our property, we will have to look elsewhere, with the added expense of buying property that potentially could take us outside of the Ottertail city area. In the 40 years our family has been coming to this area, we have developed many friendships and relationships that we value and want to maintain. We ask that you grant us this variance, so that in the many years to follow, our family can spend more time in that beautiful place, year round, \vith more of the comforts of home. Sincerely, Hank and Anne Kohler 1435 Arthur Dr. Ames, la 50010 f^^cmveo ^'01 01 2015Wayne Stein: County Auditor Ottertail County Board of Adjustments Treasurer’s Office 510 West Fir Avenue Fergus Falls, MN 56537 Dear Sir: I am writing this letter in support of Hank and Anne Kohler for their request of a variance to be able to build a four season cabin on Long Lake. My family and the Kohler family have known each other since 1981 as both neighbors and friends. Over these many years, the Kohler family have become a large part of the community and the natural resource environment of the area. They appreciate Long Lake and the opportunity to continue enjoying the property that their family has owned over the years. From the original plan of 50’x56’, they have reduced the cabin size to 37’x25’. This reconfirms for me how important it is for them to be able to stay at this location. I am in support of the Kohler’s request for a variance. Thank you for you consideration.

The approval of the requested variance was considered a good trade as it removes an older structure from the waterfront area, which would be a good improvement and relocates/places four RV units/sites in the second tier. These sites would mostly likely be rented as seasonal sites. The applicant’s proposal places development back away from the lake. The applicant’s request was viewed as a reasonable request and is not an unreasonable use of the applicant’s existing property. It was also noted that request is a minor alteration in the density of the existing resort. Henry Kohler - Tabled. Henry Kohler, part of Government Lot 2, Section 23 of Otter Tail Township by Long Lake, requested the following: I am requesting a variance of 40’ fi'om the ordinary high water level setback of 100’ to construct a home 60’ fi'om the lake.

Sincerely, Wayne Stein County Auditor - Treasurer ^^CciVEO mar 30 2015 Oi t'ER (/ul f£RGUSfALLS.m Wayne Stein: County Auditor Ottertail County Board of Adjustments 3/26/2015 Dear Sir: Thank you for your time and consideration of a variance we brought before your board at the October meeting. It was decided to table our request until we could come back with a new proposal for adding a year around home on our Long Lake property south of the town of Ottertail. At this time, my wife and I would like to ask for an extension of that table until early next spring. It is our understanding that during the winter meetings of the County Board, some of the new construction restrictions will be discussed and considered for changes, which could potentially give us a better chance to build on our lot and in the most desirable location. If that occurs, we will revisit the variance request in the spring or early summer. If by next spring the rules have not changed, we will then have our lot divided and platted showing at minimum 40,000 square feet on the side that contains the existing seasonal cabin and another 40,000 square ft. minimum for the balance of the lot where we hope to build. Sanitation requirements and area would be marked out and at that time any variance needed will be added. Thanks again for your time and expertise on this issue. My wife, family and I have the utmost respect and reverence for Long Lake and it's shores. We simply hope to be allowed to live there year roimd. Sincerely, Henry “Hank” Kohler 1435 Arthur Drive Ames, Iowa 50010-5117 This is a copy of the letter we sent to your covmty board last fall with the dates and name changed. I talked with Bill Kalar this morning and he informed me the the county is still following the same guidelines as last fall but that they may be addressed some time this spring. We would like to ask once again for a table of our request until a later date when the winds of change may blow favorably in our direction. Thanks again to you and the other board members for you time and consideration.

The completion of the land exchange will result in appiicant having a 4.84 acre tract of land upon which to operate Holly’s Resort rather than the 5 acre minimum requirement of the ordinance (.16 acre less than the ordinance requirement). There will be no change in the operation of the resort if the variance is granted. The practical boundary of Holly’s Resort will remain the same. We have deeded the 7.5 acre tract, but it could not be recorded as it left the substandard 4.84 acre tract. Therefore, we are proposing to split a 12.34 acre parcel into the 7.5 acre tract and the remaining 4.84 acre tract. November 13, 2014 Page 3 Henry Kohler - Tabled.

It was decided to table our request until we could come back with a new proposal for adding a year around home on our Long Lake property south of the town of Ottertail. At this time, my wife and I would like to ask for an extension of that table until early next spring. It is our understanding that during the winter meetings of the County Board, some of the new construction restrictions will be discussed and considered for changes, which could potentially give us a better chance to build on our lot and in the most desirable location. If that occurs, we will revisit the variance request in the spring or early summer. If by next spring the rules have not changed, we will then have our lot divided and platted showing at minimum 40,000 square feet on the side that contains the existing seasonal cabin and another 40,000 square ft. minimum for the balance of the lot where we hope to build. Sanitation requirements and area would be marked out and at that time any variance needed will be added. Thanks again for your time and expertise on this issue. My wife, family and I have the utmost respect and reverence for Long Lake and it's shores. We simply hope to be allowed to live there year round. Sincerely, Henry “Hank” Kohler 1435 Arthur Drive Ames, Iowa 50010-5117 / December 11, 2014 Page # 2 Patricia Piekarski Leitch - Variance application approved as requested with a condition.
