Primers • Fergus Falls. Minnesota V April 12, 2001 Page 4' Mark Lee McCollough - Tabled Mark Lee McCollough, Wyoming, MN, requested a variance to expand our dwelling. We are in a cluster development, which only allows us to expand back, and up. We propose to add 10’ back and complete a 2"'' story to the structure. The entire project will be completed with the least intrusive means possible. The roof pitch will be kept to a maximum of 4/12 pitch. No part of the structure will be added toward the lake and the impact on the area should be nil. It should be noted that the proposed development would be less than 100’ from the lake. The property is described as part of Government Lot 2, Section 23 of Leaf Lake Township by East Leaf Lake. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After discussion and consideration, motion was made by David Holmgren, second by Rod Boyer and unanimously carried, as per the applicant’s verbal request, to table the applicant’s variance hearing until the May 10, 2001 meeting of the Board of Adjustment. Richard Arntson - Approved Richard Arntson, Pelican Rapids, MN, requested a variance of 7’ from the required ordinary high water level setback of 75’ for the construction of an addition 68’ from the ordinary high water level. The property is described as Lot 14, Forsgrens First Addition to Outlet Beach, Lake Lida in Lida Township. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After discussion and consideration, motion was made by Steve Schierer, second by David Holmgren and carried, with Mark Steuart voting no and with Cecil Femling abstaining, to approve a variance of 7’ from the required ordinary high water level setback of 75’ for the construction of an addition 68’ from the ordinary high water level. Hardship is a substandard lot of record. Martin Baker - Approved with condition. Martin Baker, Pelican Rapids, MN, requested a variance to replace an existing 1971 14’ by 80’ mobile home with a 2001 28’ by 48’ mobile home. The new mobile home would be placed in the exact same location as the old home. The property is described as part of Lot 10, Oak Haven Beach Second Addition, Tamarac Lake in Scambler Township. A letter from Janice Venaas expressing concerns with the applicant’s property was read for the record. The audience was polled with Wallace Erdman speaking to the variance as requested. Mr. Erdman noted that it was important to the property owners in the immediate area that the old unit must be removed from the premises. After discussion and consideration, motion was made by Cecil Femling, second by Steve Schierer, and unanimously carried, to approve the variance as requested with the condition that the existing 14’ by 80’ mobile home must be legally removed from the premises. It was noted that the new unit would be no closer to the ordinary high water level than the existing unit and that the required side lot line setbacks would be maintained. It was also noted that the applicant’s proposal is a needed improvement. Hardship is a substandard lot of record. Scott and Christie Lindemann - Denied Scott and Christie Lindemann, Ottertail, MN, requested a variance to subdivide, by metes and bounds description, an existing 5.01-acre parcel into three tracts. The minimum size required for metes and bounds parcels within the shoreland area is 5 acres. The property is described as Sub Lot 2 of Government Lot 4, Section 23 of Rush Lake Township by Rush Lake. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After discussion and consideration, motion was made by Mark Steuart, second by Steve Schierer and unanimously carried, to deny the variance as requested as no adequate hardship had been shown that would allow the granting of the variance as requested and platting and review by the Planning Commission would be a preferable course of action for the applicants.

Section 23, Township 137, Range 43-Scambler Township Lake No 56-931, Lake Name-Tamarac, Class RD I am currently out of state and will be out on the date of the scheduled hearing, therefore I am herewith submitting my concerns in letter written form and request that each be taken into consideration for proper satisfaction prior to the possible issuance of a variance permit. The following findings are my concerns regarding the foregoing described property and the application for a variance to be heard at a hearing on Thursday, April 12, 2001, at 8:30pm: 1.) The described property has been the subject matter of discussions at a number of Scambler Township meetings, attended by some of the Oak Haven property owners because of the numerous quantity of unlicensed/unoperateable/Junk automobiles, and discarded household appliances on this property and on adjoining property that the current residents/occupants have accumulated thereon. 2.) The sewage system on this parcel is outdated and must be brought up to code to stop the seepage of raw sewage to the surface on this property. On at least one occasion, dirt was placed on top of the sewage tank in an attempt to firm up the contaminated surface. The well and the sewer system must be brought up to code. 3.) In an attempt to avoid the further accumulation of unsightly and unnecessary “junk” on this property or on either of the adjoining parcels, I, as a property owner on Oak Haven Beach hereby request that one of the restrictions (orders) that be put in place, and adherred to, PRIOR to the conditional granting of the “Variance,” is a Mandate to the applicant that “The complete and absolute removal of the replaced mobile homes from any land parcel in the area” is a stipulated requirement and strict compliance is an obligation and a condition of the issuance of this variance, that MUST be met. These “trailer houses,” if allowed to remain in the area, would attract and become a haven for rodents, thereby creating a nuisance and a health hazard for children and residents. Because the lot is of insufflcient size to allow the placement of a 28’ by 48’ mobile home on this parcel without first obtaining a variance, the replaced “trailer houses” must be removed from this parcel and any adjoining parcel. 4.) Determination must be made to ascertain if the “Contract for Deed” on this parcel has been fully and properly paid-in-full, thereby granting ownership to the current occupant who is also the subject applicant for the “Variance.” Oak Haven Beach is a very nice. Oak Tree laden area with mostly very well maintained homes, cabins and yards that reflect the owners pride in ownership. It has been my past experience that trailer houses and the yards of same, often reflect the owners/occupants lack of respect for neighboring houses/cabins. Permanent structures usually are owned by persons that put forth great amounts of time, effort and expense to maintain a clean and healthy environment for the surrounding area of residents and visitors. A drive through this Oak Haven Beach locale serves as a documentation to the aforestated sightings and the noted past experiences. If each and every one of my foregoing expressed concerns are correctly satisfied to meet law and environmental standards, then and only then, would I give my approval for the updated version of a trailer house to be placed on this parcel of land. A new model trailer house would be a welcome upgrade to the subject site.
