(8:50 p.m.) Steve Jensen, part of Government Lot 4, Section 28 of Amor Township by Otter Tail Lake, requested the following: This is an application for a variance to subdivide, without platting, a 6.44 acre tract into two metes and bounds parcels of 2.5 acres and 3.94 acres. The majority of the Jenson property to be subdivided does not adjoin, but is located within 1,000 feet of, the shoreline of Otter Tail Lake. The subdivided tracts will comply with the size and width requirements of residential back lots as required under the ordinance. It is not possible to plat the property in accordance with the subdivision control ordinance because the access to the Jenson property from Augustana Drive is not 66’ wide. It is 40.5T wide as measured along the southeasterly line of the property where it joins Augustana Drive. The rest of the Jenson property is separated from Augustana Drive by two metes and bounds tracts, which lie, between the southeasterly line of the Jenson property and Augustana Drive. Other parties, not the Jensons, own those two metes and bounds tracts. Therefore, access to the Jenson property is limited solely to the westerly portion of the tract where it adjoins Augustana Drive. The limited access to the property constitutes a hardship under the ordinance since there is no other access to the property and there is not sufficient property to provide 66’ wide access. The variance request is reasonable and the variance should be granted under these circumstances for the proposed subdivision. Jim Peterson, Surveyor, and Chris Svingen, Attorney, appeared along with the applicant at the public hearing. The audience was polled with Mike Holstrom, Amor Township Supervisor speaking in favor of the variance as requested. After consideration and discussion, motion was made by Cecil Femling, second by Randall Mann and carried with Steve Schierer abstaining and with Mark Steuart voting no, to approve the proposed subdivision as depicted on the registered surveyor’s drawing, which was submitted with the variance application, with the condition that the easement area identified for ingress and egress to Parcel “A” must be legally recorded. It was noted that the two proposed lots meet the minimum size requirements for platted back lots, have building sites, which should not require additional variances for development, and have adequate room for two onsite septic systems. Hardship is the terrain and the inability of the property owner to provide the required 66’ access which would be necessary for the applicant to plat the property. Robert B and Kelly A Harris - Approved with condition. (8:11 p.m.) Robert B and Kelly A Harris, part of the Southeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter and part of the East Half of the Southwest Quarter, Section 10 of Elmo Township, requested a variance to subdivide an existing 4.22 acre parcel into two tracts of less than 2.5 acres each. Once parcel would be 2.14 acres and the other parcel would be 2.08 acres. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After consideration and discussion, motion was made by Cecil Femling, second by Steve Schierer and carried with Paul Larson voting no, to approve a variance to subdivide an existing 4.22 acre parcel into two tracts of less than 2.5 acres as depicted on the drawing dated May 13, 2003 with the condition that a registered surveyor’s drawing must be provided at the time of conveyance. It was noted that the proposed lots will exceed the minimum size required for platted lot outside the shoreland area and that both lots will have access to a public road. Leo Janu - Denied. (8:19 p.m.) Leo Janu, part of Government Lots 1 and 2, Section 7 of Gorman Township by Silver Lake, requested a variance to subdivide, by metes and bounds description, a 2.4-acre parcel from an existing 46.28 acres tract. Minimum size for metes and bounds parcels within the shoreland area is 5 acres. Scott Walz, Surveyor, appeared along with the applicant at the public hearing. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After consideration and discussion, motion was made by Steve Schierer, second by Paul Larson and unanimously carried, to deny the variance as requested as the proposed lake shore lot should go through the platting process and should be reviewed by the Planning Commission to determine if there is adequate area for building development. The members of the board expressed concerns with the amount of wetlands and the elevation of the proposed lot.
