Application of Merlyn and Kathleen Lokken
From:
To:
Date:
Subject:
Wayne;
Thank you for taking time on the phone to explain the above applicants request for a variance that is
scheduled for a hearing with the Otter Tail Board of Adjustment on August 4, 2005 at 7:30 pm. I'm not
able to make the meeting, however I have the following concerns and questions about the following
projects proposed by Mr. and Mrs. Lokken:
1. Construction of a 32' by 24' addition behind the existing house
2. Construction of a new porch roof over the the existing south deck
My first question is the amount of impervious surface covered by the existing house, garage, driveway,
shed, etc. Is there a maximum amount of area that a person can construct buildings? The existing lots
south of the Lokken's have a building area that is 5-10% of the lot area. The request to construct an
addition and a roof over the existing south deck will cover an area I believe will be greater than 25% of the
lot area. This type of "congested" construction will look out of place with the existing 'character' of the
surrounding neighborhood if the coverage is over 25% of the lot area.
Another concern I have is the increased amount of impervious surface on the lot. As you may be aware,
the next door neighbor to the south, Mr. Vandenberg, has a request to the Shoreland Management Board
on August 10th? to consider adding 195 cubic yards of fill on his lot. At the previous Board meeting in
June, the Lokken's expressed concern regarding existing drainage on their lot. Their proposed addition
and roof over the existing south deck will result in loss of approximately 900 sq ft of porous ground. The
runoff from the new roofs will exasperate the existing drainage problem and result in more storm water
entering the lake/backwater area. The water quality of the lake will suffer!!
As you explained on the phone, the interior design of the addition is not known at this time. A concern I
have is that the existing septic system is adequate to handle any additional bathroom, kitchen area, etc.
You mentioned that even if the variance is approved, the Lokken's will need to identify the proposed use of
the addition and modify or upgrade the septic system as needed. I want to go on record opposing any
expansion of the existing drainfield on my property.
Thank you again for your time and expertise in this matter, as I explained, I don't concur nor oppose the
Lokken's request for a variance, I would like my concerns outlined above to be addressed by yourself or
the Board of Adjustment before a decision is made. Please email me with the Board's August 4th
decision on the Lokken's variance.
Sincerely,
Bernard Voss

enter it in the record of the August 4th meeting. ^
