This will allow me to build near tlie nature ridge that runs east to west on my lot at an elevation that should allow an approved sewer system to be built without a mound. This would save me the expense of adding jBU. At the 100 feet setback line I would have an obstructed view to the west and would be viewing the back of the neighbors cabins. The 100 feet setback would also require that I add 3 to 4 feet of fill to pro^de a level building site with a view of the lake. The shore line management ordinance does allow a string line setback but that would be approximately 15 ft behind the ridge on the east side of the proposed building area. See the attached grid plot for reference. In order to properly evaluate the situation, please provide as much supplementary information as possible, such as: maps, plans, information about surrounding property, etc. APPLICANT SHALL BE PRESENT AT THE SCHEDULED HEARING. I understand that I have applied for a variance from the requirements of the Shoreiand Management Ordinance of Otter Tall County.

Junius Fergus Falls, MN 56537 FERGUS FALLS, MN Att: Wayne Stein, .Board o+ Adjustment Dear Sir: Thank you for your letter of September 16, a copy of which IS encIosed . I do have a several valid objections the issuing of variance to the required 100 foot set back which would allow for the constuction of a building only 72 feet from the exisiting south shore line of Spirit Lake. Our home was constructed on the cite of an old cabin that had been in our family for over sixty years. cabin was torn down and a modern home built on location of that old cabin, S4 feet from the shore line of the lake. 1 . The ol d There is an thick lilac hedge running along a partial footage of the west boundry of the Hanger property, hedge is left intact , it will continue to provide a natural screen obstructing the view of my cabin from their property. 2. If this The meander line of Spirit Lake has fluxuated as much as ten to twelve feet in the sixty plus years since the land has been in the possession of my family, the variance requested would only encouraging the building of structures closer and closer to the shore line of Spirit Lake . 3. The issuance of 4. The natural elevation of the land east of our property and continuing along the south shoreline of Spirit Lake is such that to most conveniently and economically locate a structure, disregard for the 100 foot set back could be a prime reason for seeking the variance, the beauty of the required 100 foot expanse of = tructure--free lake shore frontage. This would diminish 5.As the 1ots to the east of the Hanger property are developed, additional requests for variances may be made. If such variances are granted , it could result in a situation where the structures would be placed at various set backs debending on the natural elevation of the land and the ease of construction .
