This will allow us to utilize deck better creatine safer access and better traffic flow. With this request we are proposing to remove another portion of the deck and a portion of our existing sidewalk this will bring our impervious surface which is currently at 40.25% down to 38.71%. Otter Tail County Ordinance: X Shoreland Mgmt. □ Sanitation. □ Subdivision. DWECS □ Dock & Riparian Use □ Setback Ord. Ordinance Section Citation: III. 4. A., IV. 8. B. 1. & IV. 12. D. A variance may be granted only where the strict enforcement of county land use controls will result In a "practical difficulty". A determination that a practical difficulty exists is based upon consideration of the following criteria: The applicant identified the following practical difficulty: Want to make the deck larger for convenience and because of the traffic coming from the doorway and want to increase by 33" which will allow them to put a table on the deck. They will be removing impervious surface. Both neighbors are in support of our variance request. Otter Tail County Board of Adjustment - Variance Question Findings 1. Is the variance in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official control? (The board shall consider the purposes and intent of the official control). X Yes, the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official control... □ No, the variance is NOT in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official control... ...because: The addition does not encroach any further to the iake than the existing structure. 2. Is the property owner proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the official control? (The board shall consider what reasonable use of the property is lost (practical difficulties) by the strict enforcement of the official control). X Yes, the property owner is proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner... □ No, the property owner is NOT proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner... ...because: There are similar structures and land uses in the neighborhood with similar setbacks as note during the Board of Adjustment members onsite visit. 3. Is the need for a variance due to the circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner? (The board shali consider what circumstances are unique to the property, such as lot size, lot configuration, wetland, steep slope, shore impact zone, bluff, floodplain, floodway, etc. One ar more should be stated on the record. What differentiates this parcel from others? Does this lot have a feature that does not affect all parcels similarly?) X Yes, the need for the variance is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner.... □ No, the need for the variance is NOT due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner... ...because: This is an existing lot of record with limited area for meeting setbacks. 4. Will the issuance of the variance maintain the essential character of the locality? (The board shall consider and state for the record why the request does or does not maintain the character of the area. Is this request similar to what others have, what are near shore conditions of neighbors, similar sized or number of structures adjacent or in area, etc.) X Yes, the issuance of the variance will maintain the essential character of the locality.... □ No, the issuance of the variance will NOT maintain the essential character of the locality... ...because: There are similar land use patterns and use of property in the vicinity of the request. 5. Does the need for the variance involve more than just economic considerations? (The board shall consider if economics played a role In the request. The fact that coming into compliance with the ordinance requirements may cost considerably more does not constitute a practical difficulty). X Yes, the need for the variance involves more than just economic considerations.... □ No, the issuance of the variance is only for economic considerations... ...because: The addition is a minimum expansion to an existing legal non-conforming deck for personal use and safety. The Otter Tail County Board of Adjustment: APPROVES the requested variance.DENIES Complete and attach After-the-Fact Addendum if this is an After-The-Fact variance request. DATED: July 9, 2020 Board of Adjustment Chair The Board of Adjustment may impose conditions in the granting of variances. A condition must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. (Mitigating impervious surface with storm water management, deep rooted vegetative buffers, rain gardens, etc.) It is the Board of Adjustment's job to apply appropriate legal standards to a specific fact situation. Variances are meant to be an infrequent remedy where an ordinance imposes a unique and substantial burden.

SQUARE FEET PERCENTAGE TOTAL LOT COVERAGE BY IMPERVIOUS STRUCTURES 4,226.36 40.25% TOTAL AREA OF LOT IN SQUARE FEET 10,500 sq. ft. NOTES 1.) We anticipate removing the deck section shaded in a darker beige, as a condition for securing approvai for the proposed expansion of the deck. We wouid be removing impervious structures currentiy in piace that cover 116 square feet and wouid be adding 43.20 square feet of new impervious structure from the expansion of the deck. This change in the percentage of the lot covered by an impervious structure wouid decline from 40.25 % to 38.71 %. This is not a large reduction in the percentage of the lot covered by impervious structures Oust under a 2% reduction of the total presently covered), but it is an improvement that would not otherwise occur. And it is almost twice the square footage of the lot covered by the proposed deck enlargement itself. We understand that Board Members may at their individual discretion decide to visit the property involved in this request for a variance. A staff member suggestedthat we plant some marking flags to designate where the proposed deck extension would be located and which might illustrate visually the space which would be the area of the proposed deck expansion. I will mark the area with blue flags. Blue is a color not used for underground electrical, gas, fiber optic, or by any other utility service we know of and is therefore unlikely to be confused with flags used to mark any other activity that would be flagged. 2.) We anticipate removing the sidewalk section shaded in a darker blue, as a condition for securing approval for the proposed expansion of the deck. We would be removing Impervious structures currently 88.16 square feet and adding 43.20 square feet of the new enlargement of the deck. This change would reduce the area covered by Impervious sidewak structures a little more than 2% of the area currently covered by impervious structures on this lot. That is not a large change, but it is an improvement that would not otherwise occur. And it is approximately twice the square footage of the lot covered by the proposed deck enlargement itself. Taken together, the removal of the portion of the deck discussed in Note #1 above and the removal of the portion of the sidewalk discussed in Note #2 above would lead to a net offset of 161.56 square feet of currently covered by impervious structures on this lot. That is approximately 3.74 times the 43.20 square feet that our proposed deck extension would involve. 3.) Regardless of whether or not we are permitted to add an additional 43.20 square feet of new impervious structure to the deck, we intend to convert from propane to natural gas. A feeder gas line has recently been added along the roadway, and metered natural gas will beavailable in the next year or so. This will entail adjusting our furnace, our dryer, and our stove to permit those appliances to use natural gas. This will permit us to have a metered supply of fuel delivered insteadas needed automatically and relieve us of the need to order and store bulk propane deliveries. But it will also permit us to have the bulk propane tank removed from the premises. That tank measures 31" by 91" (2.58'X 7.58'), orapproximately 19.56 sq. ft. While this conversion is not part of our deck proposal because we intend to do this whether or not a variance is granted, it will be done during the same time frame when the work on the deck goes forward. And that means we will have to budget and meet expenses just as if this were all part of the same project, whether or not the deck is extended or remains at its present dimensions. 4.) The Appraisal performed at the time of the sale in late 2018 established and recorded the area of the lot as "10,500 square feet + or -." That is the basis I have used in determining the percentage of the property covered by impervious structures.
