AUjlTC.'t NOV 3 O'1998Otter Tail County Board of Adjustment Otter Tail County Courthouse 121 West Junius Ave. Fergus Falls. MN 56537 FERGUS FALLS, MN To Whom it May Concern, We are the owners of Lot 5, Block 1, Silent Shores North. This letter is in regards to the request for variance by Dave and Joan Ellison, owners of Lot 6. We are writing to endorse the request for variance to have a 12’ x 20’ landing. We recognize the stairway and landing to be carefully designed so as to have the least amount of impact on the hillside. We ourselves used our property for a weekend without a stairway and landing, and realized the great amount of erosion that occurred on the hillside and shore in that brief period of time. We, like the Ellison’s, want to keep our property as natural as possible. We have agreed to share the Ellison's stainway system in lieu of building another stairway on our hillside. The size of Mr and Mrs Ellison’s landing provides multiple families a safe view of their children in the lake while minimizing impact on the shoreline. The materials used are visually attractive and blend into the flora. Thank you for your careful consideration. Sincerely, Dawrr JordanJim cc. Dave and Joan Ellison We are asking for a variance to leave an extra large landing on our stairway down to the lake. We built the stair/landing system to provide access to the lake for the four families who own Lots 5 and 6. When we built the stairway we had no idea there were any applicable restrictions. It was designed to minimize damage to the bank and the lakeshore while providing convenient access for people ranging in age from one to seventy-five. Because of the very steep slope, a path began to erode in the first week of use. It was dangerous for the most agile and impossible for the oldest and youngest of our family to negotiate. The absence of any level ground near the water made it impossible to enjoy the lake as a group or to conveniently watch over children swimming. The stairway was designed and placed to avoid living trees. Only one dead elm was removed. We are planning to replace the temporary diagonal l X 4s with cable and to grow native vines on the posts to minimize visual impact. This stairway minimizes damage to a steep bank and lake shore while providing lake access for four families. !-4 9 aiHi' wmwsi m 4 A .
