(6:53 p.m.) Richard H. Lange, part of Government Lots 2 and 3, Section 33 of Tumuli Township by South Ten Mile Lake, requested a variance of 50’ from the required ordinary high water level setback of 100’ for the placement of a new dwelling 50’ from the ordinary high water level. The existing cabin is located 38' from the ordinary high water level. The proposed structure would be 38’ wide and would be setback 50’ from the ordinary high water level and 30’ from the road. The property is 118’ deep and contains 24,780 square feet of area. The applicant noted that the depth of the lot is 125’. The audience was polled with Larry Goetzinger speaking for the variance as requested. After discussion and consideration, Steve Schierer made a motion to deny the variance as requested. The motion died for lack of a second. After additional discussion, Les Estes made a motion, second by Michael Harris, to approve the variance as requested. This motion failed with Randall Mann, Steve Schierer and Carl Zick voting no. After additional discussion and consideration, motion was made by Steve Schierer, second by Paul Larson and carried with Michael Harris voting no, to approve a variance of 50’ from the required ordinary high water level setback of 100’ for the placement of a new dwelling 50’ from the ordinary high water level with the understanding that the Board’s approval is based on the applicant voluntarily agreeing to remove the top portion of the existing boathouse. The Board noted that no more than 25% of the eligible area can be covered with impervious surfaces. I David A. Schliesman - Approved the variance as requested. (7:10 p.m.) David A. Schliesman, Lot 17 Block 1 Marion Lake Lodge, Marion Lake in Dead Lake Township, requested the following: We are requesting a string line setback for our proposed new structure. Meeting the existing setback would obstruct our lake view due to the existing structures on the adjacent properties. No part of our proposed structure will be closer to the lake’s high water mark than our existing structure or the adjacent neighbors. We are proposing a 2 - story structure that is similar in character to the other recently constructed buildings in the neighborhood. We request the same rights and privileges as our adjacent neighbors and surrounding properties. Appearing with the applicant were Jay Schliesman and David’s Father. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the variance as requested. A letter from Steve and Laura Kolar in support of the variance as requested was read for the record. After discussion and consideration, Michael Harris made a motion second by Steve Schierer and unanimously carried, to approve the proposed development as described in the variance application dated November 8, 2007 and as depicted on the drawing submitted with the application. It was noted that the varianoe as approved does not directly or indirectly grant any other variances for the proposed development. Harvey and Bonnie Gilbertson - Denied. (7:15 p.m.) Harvey and Bonnie Gilbertson, Lot 50 Provan Beach and Lot 2 Block 2 Black Dog Addition to Provan Beach, Pelican Lake in Dunn Township, requested the following: Requesting the square footage for the 25% impervious surface be calculated on the legal lot side of 66’ by 198’ (13,068 square feet), rather than from the high water mark (12, 267 square feet). This would provide additional 201 square feet for landscaping. (201 square feet additional impervious) Steve Langlie, Surveyor with Anderson, Howe & Langlie, Inc. appeared with the applicant at the public hearing. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the variance as requested. After discussion and consideration, Michael Harris made a motion, second by Steve Schierer and unanimously carried to deny the variance as requested as no adequate hardship unique to the property has been shown that would allow for the granting of the variance as requested and the granting of the variance as requested would establish precedence. David and Joyce Ramage - Denied. (7:25 p.m.) David and Joyce Ramage, Lots 4 and 5 Martin Knoll, Pelican Lake in Scambler Township, requested a variance of 7’ from the required side lot line setback of 40’ for the placement of a 14’ by 16’ deck 33’ from the side lot line. John Strinden represented the applicants at the public hearing. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the variance as requested. After discussion and consideration, Michael Harris made a motion, second by Steve Schierer and unanimously carried, to deny the variance as requested as no adequate hardship unique to the property had been shown that would allow for the granting of the variance as requested and noting that had this after the fact request been submitted prior to the placement of the deck in its current location a variance would not have been given for a location which did not meet the required side lot line setback. Stephen and Laura Kolar 1858 Summit Avenue Saint Paul, Minnesota 55105 Q0/ Wayne Stein Otter Tail County Government Services Center 510 Fir Avenue West Fergus Falls, Minnesota 56537 November 30, 2007 Dear Mr. Stein: We received a notice of an application for a variance by David A. Schliesman, Lot 17 Block 1 Marion Lake Lodge, 39790 Marion Lodge TraiL We own the property immediately to the east of the Schliesman property. We write in support of their request for a string line setback for their proposed new structure. If their new structure were to be set back further than their existing structure, our cabin and the one to the west of the Schliesman property would prevent almost any view of the lake for them. The Schliesmans lived on Marion Lake and loved and respected it for many, many years before we built our cabin. It is our hope that they will be allowed to build a structure to accommodate their larger family while still enjoying a view of the lake they love.
