BOX 406 FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA 58107-0406 July 15, 1998 Mr. Bill Kalar Land & Resource Management 121 East Junius Fergus Falls, MN 56537 Dear Bill: Good talking to you today and as I promised I am enclosing three pictures of my boat house on Pelican Lake in Ottertail County. On picture #11 hope that you can see there is about 5” of water in the boat house. On picture # 2 you can see the banks on either side of the boat house. On picture # 3, because of the high water you can see the amount of sand that washes up on a windy day. I would like to raise the boat house 1 foot. After I raise it 1 will pour a new floor to keep water out. With this kind of operation we can use the existing doors and utilities on the inside. I would appreciate a response soon, if possible, so 1 could start the operation.

Motion by Lindquist, second by Portmann, and unanimously carried to approve an extension on the preliminary plat of MAET-BOH Development in Clitherall Township until November 1, 1998. Conditional Use Permit - Proposed Golf Course Land & Resource Director, Bill Kalar, reported that approval of a CUP for a proposed golf course (Charles & David Will, Stalker Lake, Tordenskjold Township) was conditioned upon a performance bond. Additional staking of greens and tee boxes was required before a bond amount could be set. Mr. Kalar informed Chuck Will of this requirement. This CUP has been pending for over a year at this point and Mr. Kalar requested some type of resolution since Mr. Will has not contacted the Land & Resource office. Motion by Lindquist, second by Portmann, and unanimously carried to rescind the original approval and deny the CUP of Charles and David Will as described above. Request to Raise a Boathouse Commissioner Lee reported that a request had been received to raise the foundation and wooden portion of a boathouse on Pelican Lake due to the high water level - the floor of the boathouse is flooding. Mr. Kalar noted that under the terms of the SMO, a site permit and variance would be required because the outside dimensions would be changed. Motion by Lee to waive the variance requirement for Warren Diederich on Pelican Lake to raise the floor and the wooden portion of his boathouse due to excessive high water. The County Attorney stated that the County Board does not have the authority to waive a variance requirement. Chairman Lee withdrew the motion. fiSiSfP 4%"7T t 4 /i, ' uof r I /"• t-IJ / J f‘ \L-^ '.k. :- ?* ••i]«.-^1 • •« f*fi c •;^‘^.7.'i'. :*Z^i i -#1 ..iCEiVSD gue 16 19SS lA'lD&RESOUnCE yjL Fv ^1 LS: Ij)1 ; 49h JmI . --w^i*' ^. ti “ M r' ‘i w»I.f ",»■•••»##-fj. - -Xw'j h»-‘. —-46»L-ki ■^-1 ^;i &S-3^ ^ccervEO ■JUL' 16 1SS8 U.'iO& RESOURCE 1SCEIVED r 'JUC 16 1999 PLSOURCEa c
