PAUL, MINNESOTA • 55155 February 7, 1977 DNR INFORMATION (612) 296-6157 Mr, § Mrs. Dallas Hagemeister Route 1 Vergas,56587 Dear Mr. § Mrs. Hagemeister: ORDER OF THE COflMISSIONER, APPLICATION 77-1094, LOON LAKE, OTTER TAIL COUNTY The Department of Natural Resources has reviewed your application for a permit to place about 566 cubic yards of fill for.road im.provement in the public waters of Loon Lake, Otter Tail County, at your property located in T 137N, R 41W, Section 35. It has been determined that your application as proposed must be denied based on the following findings of fact: 1. The proposed area to be filled is a bass-panfish spawning area and Loon Lake does not have many good spawning areas. 2. The Otter Tail County Land and Resources Office is not in favor of such fill. 3. The proposed fill would expand your private property holdings at the expense of losing a public resource area. 4.The Department of Natural Resources discourages the placement of fill in public waters if such fill is not designed to recover shoreland lost to erosion or to raise developments constructed at too loAv an elevation. 5. The present road still serves to provide suitable access, via a single lane, to the land you own on the peninsula. Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 105,45, quotes in part as follows: "In all permit applications, the applicant has the burden of proving that tlio proposed project is reasonable, practical, and will adequately protect public safety and promote the public welfare." In view of our observations, we cannot conclude that your proposal is indeed reasonable, practical, and will promote the public welfare; therefore, the proposal presented in the application is in all respects denied.
