The property is described as Lot 1, Block 1, Haugen’s Point, Pelican Lake and Bass Lake in Dunn Township. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After consideration, motion was made by Craig Anderson, seconded by John Everts and unanimously carried, to deny the variance as requested as no adequate hardship had been shown, the granting of the variance would establish a precedence for side lot line setbacks on back lots within this immediate area and the granting of the variance would create a substandard situation. Arland Gordon Erlandson - Approved Arlan Gordon Erlandson, Detroit Lakes, MN, requested a variance to subdivide, without platting, a parcel of less than 5 acres (approximately 37,402 square feet) from an existing 49.65 acre parcel. The applicant also requests a “3’ width at the building line.” The property is described as part of Government Lot 1, Section 2 of Dunn Township by Little Pelican Lake. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After consideration, motion was made by Randall Mann, seconded by Cecil Femling and unanimously carried, to approve as a buildable lot the subdivision, by metes and bounds description, a parcel having a total lot area of approximately 37,402 square feet and having a lot width at the building line of approximately 147’. It was noted that this parcel would be adjacent to an existing substandard development. It was also noted that the applicant’s request is a reasonable request. John and Mary Simko - Approved John and Mary Simko, Sioux Falls, SD, requested a variance of 10’ from the required road right- of-way setback of 20’ for the placement of 30’ by 26’ garage 10’ from the road right-of-way. Frost footings were installed 10’ from the road last fall. The property is described as part of Lot 4, Eagle Lake Beach, Eagle Lake in Eagle Lake Township. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After consideration, motion was made by Craig Anderson, seconded by Robert Schwartz and carried with John Everts abstaining, to approve a variance of 10’ from the required road right-of-way setback of 20’ for the placement of the proposed garage 10’ from the road right-of-way with the condition that the vehicle ingress and egress must be at a right angle to the road. It was noted that the applicant’s lot does contain a bluff. Michael David Heiser - Approved Michael David Heiser, Eagle Bend, MN, requested a variance of 5’ from the 18’ maximum height of a non-dwelling structure for the construction of a 40’ by 56’ shop having a maximum height of 23’. The property is described as Government Lot 12, Section 22 of Eastern Township by Lake Mary. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After consideration, motion was made by John Everts, seconded by Randall Mann and unanimously carried, to approve a variance of 5’ from the 18’ maximum height of a non-dwelling structure for the construction of a 40’ by 56’ single story shop approximately 200’ from the township road and having a maximum height of 23’. It was noted that the height of the structure is needed to accommodate the size of the overhead doors that are required for a semi-truck entrance. It was also noted that the applicant has a very large parcel on an undeveloped lake and that the structure will be setback approximately 400 to 500’ from the lake. It was also noted that the placement of this structure in this location will not set a precedence for this immediate area nor will this structure obstruct the view of future lake development. April 10,1997 Page 4 Douglas N. Krieger - Approved Douglas N. Krieger, Pelican Rapids, MN, requested the following: “Due to the indicated depth of our lot, in order to build the home that we want, we will require a variance to allow 10.25’ of the Southwest corner of our house and 14’ deck to extend beyond the setback point as indicated on submitted drawing”. The property is described as part of Lot 1 and all of Lot 2, Henry’s Hill Subdivision of Government Lots 3 and 4, Section 27 of Dunn Township by Franklin Lake. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. Letters from the following individuals in favor of the applicant’s request were read for the record: Louis Krieger, Esther H. Henry, Andrew (Butdi) Vender Plaats and Roger L. Cross. In addition, a letter from Judy Sumpter, Dunn Township Clerk, indicating township approval of the applicant’s request so long as the structure is at least 36’ from the edge of the township road. After consideration, motion was made by John Everts, seconded by Cecil Femling and unanimously carried, to allow the use of the string line as depicted on the applicant’s drawing. The string line would be applied from the house on the point, which is two lots to the west of the applicant’s lot, to the house on the lot immediately to the east of the applicant’s lot. Hardship is a substandard lot of record. It was noted that this is a good location for the placement of this dwelling and that the dwelling located on the first lot to the west is out of place making it impractical to use when determining the string line. Gerald M. Hall - Approved Gerald M. Hall, Oxbow, ND, requested a variance of 41’ from the required ordinary high water level setback of 75’ and a variance of 3.5’ from the required shore impact zone setback of 37.5’ for the construction of a 20’ by 24’ two story addition to an existing dwelling approximately 34’ from the ordinary high water level at its closest point. The property is described as Lot 3, Block 2, Oak Grove Summer Resort, Pelican Lake in Scambler Township. Mark Neslon, Architect, appeared along with the applicant at the public hearing. Wally Senyk, County Attorney, reviewed, for the benefit of the board members, the applicant’s past variance requests and past development of this property. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After consideration, motion was made by John Everts, seconded by Craig Anderson and unanimously carried, to approve a variance of 4T from the required ordinary high water level setback of 75’ and a variance of 3.5’ from the required shore impact zone setback of 37.5’ for the construction of a 20’ by 24’ two story addition to an existing dwelling approximately 34’ from the ordinary high water level at its closet point as depicted on the architect’s drawing. It was noted that the new construction will be behind the existing setback line, that the existing deck will be removed, a portion of the existing structure (10’ by 14’) will be demolished as depicted on the architect’s drawing, most of the new deck will be out of the impact zone, the new deck will not exceed 3' in height and the new construction will be no closer to the ordinary high water level than the existing structure. It was noted that the overall plan is an improvement over the existing situation. Landis M. Weaver - Approved Landis M. Weaver, Ottertail, MN, requested a variance of 8 to 10’ from the required ordinary high water level setback of 75’ for the addition of a 30’ by 34’ canvas awning, to an existing upper deck, approximately 65 to 67’ from the ordinary high water level. Additional information concerning the applicant’s request is available at the County Auditor’s office. The property is described as part of Government Lot 3, Section 21 and part of the Northwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter, Section 28 of Otter Tail Township by Otter Tail Lake.
