(8:45 p.m.) April 9, 2015 Meeting - After consideration and discussion, Ward Uggerud made a motion, second by Paul Larson and carried with Rick Wilson voting no, to approve the variance as requested in the application dated October 21, 2014 and as depicted on the supporting documentation provided with the application with the condition that the applicant cannot exceed what would be permit when applying the State wide density calculation standards for commercial/resort use. The approval of the requested variance was considered a good trade as it removes an older structure from the waterfront area, which would be a good improvement and relocates/places four RV units/sites in the second tier. These sites would mostly likely be rented as seasonal sites. The applicant’s proposal places development back away from the lake. The applicant’s request was viewed as a reasonable request and is not an unreasonable use of the applicant’s existing property.

They have asked me to meet with them this winter to work on a new county rule for RCU density. Since a new density rule for RCUs would greatly impact my request for variance, I feel it would be better to postpone my request for variance until this spring. However, I would be able to attend in the December meeting if you feel that would be better. Thanks -Ron On Wed, Nov 12, 2014 at 3:58 PM, Ron Grams <rongrams@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Wayne: I received notice for the Hearing for Variance scheduled for tomorrow November 13, 2014 where 1 am representing my request for variance for Sunrise Properties (Linden Park Resort).

Thank you -Ron Grams (320)291-9494 scah::ed1 November 13,2014 Page 2 Donna Hogberg - Approved the variance application as requested. (Continued) (6:48 p.m.) After consideration and discussion, Paul Larson made a motion, second by Ward Uggerud and unanimously carried, to approve a variance of 40’ from the required side lot line setback of 65' and to approve a variance of 18’ from the required ordinary high water level setback of 20’ for the placement of an 8’ by 20’ deck 25’ from the side lot line and 2’ from the ordinary high water level. The hardship/practical difficulty is the terrain features of the applicant’s property and safety concerns for the property users. The variance as approved will provide the applicant with a reasonable use of the property. It was also noted that if the applicant had constructed a platform it would have been a legal structure not requiring a variance; however the addition of the handrails created the need for the variance. The handrails are needed for safety. Sunrise Properties - Tabled per applicant’s request. (6:58 p.m.) Sunrise Properties, Lots Six and Seven, Block B Hursh’s First Addition to Linden Park and part of Government Lots 1 and 2, Section 26 of Girard Township by East Battle Lake, requested the following: Relocating structures from tier 1 to tier 2.

Glenn Howe, Surveyor represented the applicant at the public hearing. A letter from the Richard West, Otter Tail County Highway Engineer stating that if the variance is granted the easement would be released was read for the record. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the variance as requested.: After consideration and discussion, Steve Schierer made a motion, second by Rick Wilson and unanimously carried, to approve a variance of 50’ from the required ordinary high water level setback of 200’ for the location of a future building site 150’ from the ordinary high water level and to deny the variance as requested for the primary septic system. The hardship/practical difficulty is the unique shape of this approximately 8 acre parcel.

(7:22 p.m.) Sam and Gwen Humann, part of Government Lots 6 and 8, Section 25 of Dead Lake Township by Dead and Alice Lakes, requested the following: Replace existing dwelling and detached garage with new dwelling with attached garage at 75’ from the ordinary high water level.

The septic system being 3’ from property line and 12’ from the dwelling, required setback is 10’ from property line and 20’ from dwelling. Patricia Stock, A-1 Septic appeared with the applicant at the public hearing. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the variance as requested: After consideration and discussion, Rick Wilson made a motion, second by Thomas Lee and unanimously carried, to approve a variance of 7’ from the required lot line setback of 10’ and to approve a variance of 8’ from the required 20’ setback from a dwelling for the placement of a septic system 3’ from the lot line and 12’ from the dwelling. The variance as approved will provide the applicant with a reasonable use of her property. It was also noted that the proposed location is the best, if not the only location for the proposed system as stated by a licensed system designer/installer.
