(7:22 p.m.) Gladson Tst, Donald D and Janice B Gladson, Underwood, MN, requested a variance to subdivide 3.62 acres from an existing 13.8 acre parcel. The proposed parcel would be 250’ by 630’. The minimum size for metes and bounds parcels within the shoreland area is 5 acres. The property is described as part of Government Lot 1, Section 6 of Sverdrup Township by East Lost Lake. The applicants’ daughter (Linda) appear with Janice Gladson at the public hearing. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After consideration, motion was made by Steve Schierer, second by Randall Mann to table the applicants’ request for additional information. After additional discussion and consideration the motion to table was withdrawn and the following motion was made by Paul Larson, second by Cecil Femling and carried with Steve Schierer and Mark Steuart voting no, to approve a variance to subdivide a 3.62 acre parcel from an existing 13.8 acre parcel. It was noted that this is a cluster development. The applicants were also advised that the subdivision of their property might require a review of the permit, which authorized the cluster development. Jean and Dennis Johnson - Approved as requested. (7:55 p.m.) Jean and Dennis Johnson, Dent, MN, requested a variance to build a 28’ by 24’ handicap accessible garage suitable to hold 2 vans, attached to existing garage. Using the existing 1960 east garage wall brings addition to 16’ 6" of road right-of-way. Lot itself has less than 100’ between ordinary high water level and road right-of-way, so garage is within 60’ of ordinary high water level. Proposed placement is closer to road right-of-way due to location of existing garage. To the west of proposed structure is a ridge containing numerous mature oak trees. Placement of structure further west could necessitate tree removal. Ridge also promotes runoff to wetland area rather than to the lake. Addition of garage makes property better suited for year round habitation. Requires a variance of 3’ 6" from the required road right-of way setback of 20’ and a variance of approxim'ately 40’ from the required ordinary high water level setback of 100’. The property is described as Lots 12 through 16, Peach’s Silent Lake Beach, East Silent Lake in Dora Township. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After consideration, motion was made by Cecil Femling, second by Frank Lachowitzer and carried with Mark Steuart voting no, to approve a variance to build a 28’ by 24’ handicap accessible garage in the location as depicted on the applicants’ drawing. It was noted that the proposed structure will not be very visible from the lake and that the run off from the building will drain towards the wetland and not towards the lake. Hardship is a substandard lot of record. Rick Freitag - Denied. (8:15 p.m.) Rick Freitag, Sauk Centre, MN, requested a variance of 4’ from the required ordinary high water level setback of 75’ for the placement of a deck 71’ from the ordinary high water level. The property is described as Lot 16, Okeson Beach and Lot 16, Block 1, Okeson Beach First Addition, Eagle Lake in Eagle Lake Township. An unsigned letter was noted for the record. Mark Knoblock represented the applicant at the public hearing. Letters from Tami and Jerry Westman, George and Mary Hartz and from Earllet and Alton Johnson in opposition to the variance as requested and questioning the applicant’s measurement were read for the record. The audience was polled with Mary Hartz seeking information regarding the ordinary high water level and expressing concerns with the measurements as provided by the applicant. After consideration, motion was made by Paul Larson, second by Cecil Femling and unanimously carried, to deny the variance as requested noting that had the request been submitted prior to the completion of the project the variance would not have been approved as no adequate hardship unique to the property had been shown that would allow for the granting of the variance as requested. 50 feet1Jnch(es) equalsfeet, or.grid(s) equalsScale: Please use this sheet for the required scale drawing of your proposal.
