Motion
Ray A. Chase - Denied. (8:17 p.m.)
Motion was made by Steve Schierer, second by Paul Larson and unanimously carried, to deny the variance as
requested as no adequate hardship had been shown that would allow for the granting of the variance as requested
and noting that the granting of the variance as requested would not improve the condition of Lots 10 and 11. The
Board of Adjustment also questioned whether Lots 10 and 11 as currently combined would be buildable. Special Note
- Carroll and Joyce Rohrich complimented Mavis Samuelson of the Land and Resource Department for all of the
assistance and information that she provided to them during the variance application process. .

Jd and Sue Ditty - Denied. (7:58 p.m.)
Donald and Sue Ditty, Lot 2, El Will Beach, Ethel Lake in Girard Township, requested the following: In 2001
we built a wrap around deck on our new double wide home. We did not think we needed a permit or a
variance for this. We now know we did. We are requesting a variance for the west side of the wrap around
deck, which is connected to the front deck and to the west side of the house. The side door is on this side
of the house, which has a higher elevation. So the side door is four feet from the ground. The steps for the
side door are also connected to the deck on the west side. We also need a variance for the shed next to
the garage. The shed can be moved if needed. Requesting a variance of 6.5’ from the required side lot
line setback of 10’ for the location of the deck 3.5’ from the lot line and a variance of 8’ from the required
side lot line setback of 10’ for the placement of an existing shed 2’ from the side lot line. A letter from
Douglas J. Houska in support of the applicants’ request was read for the record. A letter from David Smith
stating that he support the variance as requested so long as the Board of Adjustment would grant him the
same variance was also read for the record. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against
the request. After consideration, motion was made by Mark Steuart, second by Rod Boyer and
unanimously carried, to deny the variances as requested noting that no adequate hardship unique to the
property had been shown that would allow for the granting of the variance as requested and the only
hardship that can be found is a self imposed hardship which is not sufficient for granting a variance from
the requirements of the ordinance. The Board of Adjustment stated that the shed and deck issues must be
brought into compliance on or before September 1, 2003. It was also noted that had this request been
presented to the Board of Adjustment for consideration before completion of the work it would have been
denied as well. The Board of Adjustment’s denial is consistent with past action of the Board.
Ray A. Chase - Denied. (8:17 p.m.)
Ray A. Chase, Lots 10 and 11, Oxcart Trail, Blanche Creek in Otter Tail Township, requested a variance to
allow 50’ of Lot 10 to be convey and permanently attached to Lot 9, a variance to construct a 24’ by 36’
garage on that portion of Lot 10 which is being permanently attached to Lot 9 as depicted on the
applicant’s drawing, and a variance that would declare the balance of Lot 10 and Lot 11 as a buildable lot.
It should be noted that Lot 9 with the additional 50’ from Lot 10 would have approximately 51,750 square
feet of area and the balance of Lot 10 together with Lot 11 would have approximately 58,750 square feet of
area. Carroll and Joyce Rohrich represented the applicant at the public hearing. Mr. and Mrs. Rohrich
noted that they are also in need of a variance from the ordinary high water level. The audience was polled
with no one speaking for or against the request. After consideration, motion was made by Steve Schierer,
second by Paul Larson and unanimously carried, to deny the variance as requested as no adequate
hardship had been shown that would allow for the granting of the variance as requested and noting that the
granting of the variance as requested would not improve the condition of Lots 10 and 11. The Board of
Adjustment also questioned whether Lots 10 and 11 as currently combined would be buildable. Special
Note - Carroll and Joyce Rohrich complimented Mavis Samuelson of the Land and Resource Department
for all of the assistance and information that she provided to them during the variance application process.
Gregory J. Boedigheimer - Approved as modified. (8:32 p.m.)
Gregory J. Boedigheimer, part of the Northwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter, Section 18 of Otto
Township by the Otter Tail River, requested a variance of 27’ from the required ordinary high water level
setback of 150’ for the addition of a 12’ by 28’ three season porch 123’ from the ordinary high water level of
the Otter Tail River. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After
consideration, motion was made by Randall Mann, second by Cecil Femling and carried with Paul Larson
voting no, to approve a variance that would allow for construction no closer to the ordinary high water level
than the line that would be created when the south wall of the existing home is extended straight out to the
west. No part of the proposed addition can extend in front of the existing south wall of the existing
dwelling. It was noted that the variance as granted does provide the applicant with a reasonable use of his
property as there is adequate room to the west of the existing structure for the proposed addition.
