DWECS I Dock & Riparian Use X Setback Ord. III. A.Ordinance Section Citation: A variance may be granted only where the strict enforcement of county land use controls will result in a "practical difficulty". A determination that a practical difficulty exists is based upon consideration of the following criteria: The applicant identified the following practical difficulty: Would like to keep the bins in line which is needed for the position how the aueers need to be placed. Otter Tail County Board of Adjustment - Variance Question Findings 1. Is the variance in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official control? (The board shall consider the purposes and intent of the official control). X Yes, the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official control... □ No, the variance is NOT in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official control... ...because: The land use ordinance allows property owners to develop and improve their property. 2. Is the property owner proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the official control? (The board shall consider what reasonable use of the property is lost (practical difficulties) by the strict enforcement of the official control). X Yes, the property owner is proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner... n No, the property owner is NOT proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner... ...because: There are similar structures and land uses in the neighborhood with similar setbacks as noted during the Board of Adjustment member's onsite visit of the bins that are currently onsite. 3. Is the need for a variance due to the circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner? (The board shall consider what circumstances are unique to the property, such as lot size, lot configuration, wetland, steep slope, shore impact zone, bluff floodplain, floodway, etc. One or more should be stated on the record. What differentiates this parcel from others? Does this lot have a feature that does not affect all parcels similarly?) X Yes, the need for the variance is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner.... □ No, the need for the variance is NOT due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner... ...because: There are current bins located onsite and they need to be in-line for the augers. r i 4. Will the issuance of the variance maintain the essential character of the locality? (The board shall consider and state for the record why the request does or does notmaintain the character of the area. Is this request similar to what others have, what are nearshore conditions of neighbors, similar sized or number of structures adjacent or in area, etc.) X Yes, the issuance of the variance will maintain the essential character of the locality.... □ No, the issuance of the variance will NOT maintain the essential character of the locality... ...because: There are similar land use patterns in the vicinity of the request. 5. Does the need for the variance involve more than just economic considerations? (The board shall consider if economics played a role in the request. The fact that coming into compiiance with the ordinance requirements may cost considerably, more does not constitute a practical difficulty). X Yes, the need for the variance involves more than just economic considerations.... □ No, the issuance of the variance, is only for economic considerations... ...because: For practical purposes the bins need to be located in a line for property use. The Otter Tail County Board of Adjustment: APPROVES__X the requested variance.DENIES Complete and attach After-the-Fact Addendum if this is an After-The-Fact variance request. DATED: September 8, 2022 Board of Adjustment Chair The Board of Adjustment may impose conditions in the granting of variances. A condition must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance.- (Mitigating impervious surface with storm water management, deep rooted vegetative buffers, rain gardens, etc.) ■ It is the Board of Adjustment's job to apply appropriate legal standards to a specific fact situation. Variances are meant to be an infrequent remedy where an ordinance imposes a unique and substantial burden.

His current bins are 57' from the centerline. I did verify that we have a 50' R/W along his property. With the 40' setback requirement we have he would need to move his proposed grain bin south. This would mess up the elevator leg system they plan to install, and dramatically increase costs for him. Since the 3 grain bins are already there, could we grant him some sort of "Variance" to construct the last bin? Since the city limits are on the east end of his property, this is a 30 MPH zone. I did reach out to Mr. Werner to make him aware of the situaton, and asked him to hold off any further construction until I could get back to him. He was good to talk to on the phone, and remained calm to work through this. He did bring up another question, " What about all the pivot stops that are within the 40' setback". I have been thinking about this question all day, the only solution I can come up with is a "Variance procedure". He did call Commisioner Bucholz, who then called me today to discuss. I told Dan I would include him in the email to you for further guidance. 2 What are your thoughts on the "Variance"? 3 OTTER TAIL COUNTY Fergus Falls, Minnesota STATE OF MINNESOTA ) ) ss COUNTY OF OTTER TAIL I, Amy Busko, Secretary for the Board of Adjustment for Otter Tail County, Minnesota, do hereby certify that on the 28th day of July 2022 the attached Notice of Hearing for Variance was duly served upon the individuals listed below and/or included in the attachment: ) Property Owner Township Clerk Lake Association Albert Werner PO Box 96 Richville MN 56576 Pamela Moe, Clerk Rush Lake Township 43394 Round Lake Dr. Ottertail MN 56571 NA City Clerk (if located within 2 miles of a city) City of Richville, Leslie Lee, Clerk, 611 3'^'* St. SW, MN 56576 Otter Tail Water Management District—Email Notice if it is in the district - ottertailwatermanaQement@outlook.comE UJ Lake Improvement District (If project is located on their lake, mail notices to the Lake Improvement District) Big McDonald Lake Improvement Dist., PO Box 81, Dent, MN 56528 Devils Lake Imp.

This meeting is scheduled for Thursday, August 11. 2022 at 6pm. In regards to building a new grain bin, if this will increase the demand for the use of his corn dryers, we request that he start using some sort of collection or filtration system. We believe that the corn dust represents a health concern for us and wildlife and possible property damage. We have attached 10 pictures of the damage Mr. Werner's current corn dryers are doing to our property. Each picture shows lots of corn dust covering our home, deck, concrete and our vehicles. Each year since the installation of the corn dryer we have had to deal with piles of corn dust. On days he is drying corn, it looks like it is snowing in our yard. When the wind is just right, its difficult to even walk outside, corn dust gets in our eyes and we breath it in. We are unsure of possible damage to our roof and singles, not to mention possible damage to the paint on all of our vehicles. We feel some sort of filtration/collection system on the corn dryer would work and then we would be ok with a new grain bin. Thank you for your time. If you have any questions please call us at 218-346-6309. Sincerely, Jeff and Sharon Dickerson 2 SiTiMiiM" ^ •» •IS SSZmmSSUZSS?‘■^V:' •»r»■iwr'"^ -■ S->t«- «>/-■ .1^.;,. *; - •'*S'.;^asgar.£a«e^rn-iBMiajiiiiirj.i jiaaaBMBMiptagfc________jr)3^SL>'vH;vi;i^8®BiBSSSi5*iiSB6<^i£gS ■^a5S^t;:55S4:S«a^^8SSsaiiiaS3435&^^ ii; :. .i;-v;;^ .V.
