Motion
Motion was made by John Everts, seconded by Craig Anderson and fail to carry with Cecil Femling,
Randall Mann and Leona Zimmerman voting no, to approve the variance as requested noting that the
proposed addition will be well behind the minimum setback from the ordinary high water level as it
relates to the front of the dwelling, no visual obstructions will be created by this addition as there is a
resort on the west side and the dwelling to the east is already closer and the unique shape of the
applicant’s property with the condition that no additional structures ahead of the building line will be
permit in the future. Hardship is a substandard lot of record. After additional discussion and
consideration, motion was made by Craig Anderson, seconded by Randall Mann, and carried with John
Everts voting no, to deny the variance as requested as no adequate hardship had been shown.

The following variance requests were heard:
Vivian Kugler -
Vivian Kugler, Erhard, MN, requested a variance of 50' from the required ordinary high water level
setback of 200’ for the location of a building site 150’ from the ordinary high water level. The property is
described as a 71.95-acre tract in Government Lots 6 and 7, Section 15 of Friberg Township by Evans
Lake. The audience was polled with Duane Mavis, Friberg Town Clerk, stating that the township had
no objections to the variance as requested. Randall Mann stated that he would abstain from any action
considered by the board because he is related to the applicant. After much discussion and
consideration, the applioant requested permission to withdraw her variance application. The Board of
Adjustment acknowledged and accepted this request. It was noted that if this variance were granted in
would establish a precedence for this 71.95 acre tract and it is not the practice of the Board of
Adjustment to vary the high water level setback for dwellings constructed in areas of new development.
Newly created subdivisions should consider and meet the requirements of the existing ordinances and
should not need variances for development.

will be well behind the minimum setback from the ordinary high water level as it relates to the front of

Duane W. Matz - Approved
Duane W. Matz, Et. Al., Maple Grove, MN, requested a variance of 127' from the required ordinary high
water level setback of 200' for the location of a building site 73' from the ordinary high water level or

The granting of this amended variance will keep the structure out of the shore impact zone. Hardship is
the topography of the applicant's property. The granting of the amended variance will provide a good
building site and will provide a reasonable use of the applicant's property.
