Tuffy’s Pet Foods Tax Abatement Request
Perham City Administrator, Bob Louiseau, reviewed the Tuffy's Pet Foods abatement request.
County Attorney, David Hauser, stated that he has reviewed the development agreement and it is
consistent with the proposal. He advised two additions to the proposed resolution; 1) the
proposed tax abatement should only be effective so long as the property is operating as a pet food
production facility, and 2) the Development Agreement needs to be specifically adopted within the
resolution because the resolution should set the terms of the abatement. Mr. Hauser read, for the
record, comments from the County Auditor regarding the requested abatement. Motion by Nelson,
second by Froemming, to accept the tax abatement as proposed by the Tuffy's Pet Foods
business and approve the resolution with the two additions suggested by the County Attorney.

Dear Gentlemen/Madame(s),
The purpose of this letter is to address the request of a conditional use permit from Wee Villa LTD
PartnershipAVee Villa Resort.
After careful consideration we are opposed to this request for the following reasons:
1) As permanent, homestead property owners, living on Long Lake, on County Highway 27 North
of Fergus Falls,(56-784) RD we have reviewed the various project descriptions stated on the application
submitted by Wee Villa Resort, Cory Heit. The signees of this letter are in opposition to the request, (#3) to
change the 40' x 64' garage to a commercial use for a used car license dealership, |even if the vehicles will be
contained within the existing building.
2) Long Lake is a small recreational fishing lake, 2 miles long, Vz mile wide which means that a used
car dealership would not enhance the beauty, serenity, and pastoral atmosphere of this area. What could
happen, is that lives could be endangered when drivers test drive up and down Highway 27, noise levels will
increase, and a used car dealership is not compatible with the residential nature of the property owners of
Long Lake.
3) As property owners our convictions are that the use of the land around Long Lake should be
strictly regulated to resort and country living; and any business should not enviromnentally impact the lake.
We believe that this type of business should be conducted where there is commercial allocated spacing,
proper disposal of gasoline, oil, and body parts of vehicles that are no longer needed.
4) Request number “1" requests replacement for a manufactured home. Some of the questions that
arise include, “Is the purpose of the manufactured home to be a family dwelling?’’; “Is the purpose of the
manufactured home to be an office to conduct used car business, or is the manufalctured home to be both an
office and home?”
5) If the screened in deck is for “one of the privately owned cabins” is there a reason that Wee Villa
is requesting a 10' variance for the screened in deck? Should the request for this variance be made by the
cabin owner?
