Otter Tail County Ordinance: X Shoreland Mgmt. u Sanitation, j Subdivision, u WECS LI Dock & Riparian Use l1 Setback Ord. Ordinance Section Citation: III. 4. A., IV. 8. B. and IV. 12. 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: Provide a screen porch as their parents will be moving in and are both in wheel chairs and by placing the enclosed screen porch in this location which has a sliding door that will allow wheel chair access to the proposed screen porch. This is also no closer to the lake than the existing. 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). □ Yes, the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official control... X No, the variance is NOT in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official control... ...because: The proposal does not meet setbacks 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). n Yes, the property owner is proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner... X No, the property owner is NOT proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner... ...because; The proposal will block the view of the adjacent owners. 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?) □ Yes, the need for the variance is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner.... X No, the need for the variance is NOT due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner... ...because: The intent of the ordinance is to maintain the distance from the structure and the required setbacks. The increase of impervious surface in the shore impact zone with the proposal when there is already issues with ice damage. 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 not maintain the character of the area. Is this request similar to what others have, what are near shore conditions of neighbors, similar sized or number of structures adjacent or in area, etc.) □ 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: 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 compliance with the ordinance requirements may cost considerably more does not constitute a practical difficulty). □ Yes, the need for the variance involves more than just economic considerations.... 0 No, the issuance of the variance is only for economic considerations... ...because: the requested variance.The Otter Tail County Board of Adjustment: APPROVES DENIES Complete and attach After-the-Fact Addendum if this is an After-The-Fact variance request. DATED: September 10, 2020 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. Bradley & Patricia Wagner - Variance Request Denied (6:51 p.m.) Bradley & Patricia Wagner.
