Motion
Jim and Tom Mueller - Denied. (7:20 p.m.)
Motion was made by Steve Schierer, second by Mark Steuart 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 noting that there is adequate room to place the proposed structure 10’ from the side lot
line. It should be noted that the Board of Adjustment did express concern over the amount of impervious surfaces and
did questions whether the maximum allowable coverage would be exceeded by the addition of the proposed garage.

easier vehicle maneuvering.
As an added note, there is no road right of way staked out as requested. As far as we
know there is no road right of way as many years ago Fair Hills Resort built the existing
road and entry from HWY 20 to alter the entry road that used to come in across the south
edge of their golf course. Most of the road is built on Fair Hills property. Also, it would
not have any effect on the location of the proposed garage.
This may be superfluous but is included as an added explanation. We have considered
the following:
A 20’ X 23’ garage with an east-facing door built with the current 1-foot setback with
walls parallel to the walls of the existing structure. This would have blocked light to
our neighbor’s guesthouse windows. Also requesting a 1-foot setback continuance
would probably be frowned upon.
1.
Same as above but with the requested 6 foot setback. This would protrude 4 feet
further into the yard than the existing structure blocking the view of the yard from the
house and reducing the usable recreational area making it difficult if not impossible to
play the above mentioned games. It would also make temporary vehicle parking and
maneuvering much more difficult.
2.
We did reduce the size to the minimum we require to store our two boats (18’ X 22’) and
placed the door to the north for the reasons stated in the variance request paragraph.
We thank you for your kind consideration of this request and hope for your favorable
consideration.

Mr. Randy Mann
Ottertail County Board of Adjustments
Ottertail County Courthouse
Fergus Falls, MN 56537
Gentlemen;
We would like to request a rdiearing of our case from the April 10, 2003 meeting of the board at which our
application for variance was denied. From the information we received about the meeting and after
listening to the audiotape of the meeting we feel that there were some misunderstandings about the
application that need to be addressed.
After listening to the tape of the meeting it was implied that the diagram which accompanied our
application was incorrect. We rechecked all the measurements and found no major errors in any of the
listed dimensions.
There was discussion as to the impervious surface exceeding the allowable 25%. This is not correct. There
was also discussion as to added concrete/asphalt for a driveway from the existing drive to the proposed
garage. This was not shown on the diagram and there is no intention to add a driveway. The existing drive
was installed strictly to control erosion. You expressed concern about a fire hazard with the closeness of
the proposed garage to our neighbors existing building. I have dealt with the Indianapolis, fN zoning board
of adjustmait and the variance was granted with the provision that two hour 5/8” flame-retardant sheet rock
be installed on the inside wall facing the neighbor’s property. This can be done in this case also. As to the
hardship issue, the board indicated it was an inconvenience and that the proposed garage could be built
further into the yard to comply with the 10’ setback. We consider this a hardship as this robs us of part of
the only open space where grandchildren and guests can set up games such as volleyball, badminton and
croquet and have sufficient room to play.
Regarding the statement on the tape of the meeting that the listed dimensions for the patio were incorrect,
they were checked and found to be basically accurate. We did make an error in calculating the total square
feet of the patio by 240 square feet. Taking this into account, recalculating the impervious surface
coverage goes from 22.6% to 24.4% which is still within limits of code.
tiiFor the above reasons a rdiearing of our original variance request is sought for your September 13
meeting while we are still at the lake to respond to any questions or concerns you may have.

Steve Nelson - Approved as requested. (7:12 p.m.)
Steve Nelson Et. AL, part of the Northwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter, Section 9 of Perham
Township, requested a variance to subdivide, by metes and bounds description, an existing 5-acre parcel
into two tracts. One tract would be 3.5 acres and the other tract would be 1.5 acres. A letter from the City
of Perham advising the applicant of the need to comply with the City of Perham’s airport zoning ordinance
was read for the record. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After
consideration, motion was made by Cecil Femling, second by Paul Larson and earned with Rod Boyer
voting no, to approve a variance to subdivide, by metes and bounds description, an existing 5 acre parcel
into two tracts as identified on the registered surveyor’s drawing, which was submit with the applicant’s
variance application.
Jim and Tom Mueller - Denied. (7:20 p.m.)
Jim and Tom Mueller, Lot 46, Minnie H. Barry’s Addition to Killarney Beach, Pelican Lake in Dunn
Township, requested the following; We are requesting a side (west) setback of 6’ rather than 10’ so that the
east and west walls of.the proposed 18’ by 22’ garage will continue the same line as the existing guest
house part of the structure. The proposed 18’ by 22’ garage would have a north-facing door. This would
preserve our view of the yard and as much green space as possible. The steep hill in back and the
location of the septic system necessitate construction in the proposed area. It also makes for continued
easy entry to the back yard and easier vehicle maneuvering. Paul Horvick represented the applicants at the
public hearing. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After
consideration, motion was made by Steve Schierer, second by Mark Steuart 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 noting that there is adequate room to place
the proposed structure 10’ from the side lot line. It should be noted that the Board of Adjustment did
express concern over the amount of impervious surfaces and did questions whether the maximum
allowable coverage would be exceeded by the addition of the proposed garage.
Mary A. Smith - Approved as requested. (7:28 p.m.)
Mary A. Smith, Lot 8, Kimber Beach, Blanche Lake in Girard Township, requested a variance of 4’ from the
required west side lot line setback of 10’ for the enclosure of an existing deck and for an 1T by 29.4’ deck
extension each being located 6’ from the lot line. Rick Bladow represented the applicant at the public
hearing. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the request. After consideration,
motion was made by Steve Schierer, second by Rod Boyer and unanimously carried, to approve a
variance of 4’ from the required west side lot line setback of 10’ for the enclosure of an existing deck and
for an 1T by 29.4’deck extension each being located 6’ from the lot line. It was noted that the applicant’s
proposed project will be no closer to the side lot line than the present structure and that the proposed
development does not obstruct the view from the neighboring properties.
