Requesting a variance of 50’ from the required ordinary high water level setback of 200’ for the placement of these two proposed cabins 150’ from the ordinary high- water level. Wayne/Stein/ Board of Adjustment Secretary Date: August 16, 2002 ; r- Weslake Resort, Inc. on beautiful West Lost Lake 28507 Cty Hwy 35 Underwood, Minnesota 56586 800-258-9056 218-826-6523 Attachment to August 14, 2002 Variance Request The reason for this request is to avoid removing aquatic vegetation in order to add a second swimming beach area and to allow Weslake Resort to expand thus bringing more guests to the Otter Tail County area on a year round basis. By allowing this variance, summer resort guests would have a clear line of site to the current swimming beach and dock area which is extremely important to families with children whom these cabins are being built for. If these cabins were to be built behind the 200 foot setback, we would need to clear a second beach area which would require the removal of 40 to 50 feet of aquatic vegetation. Additional expenses would be incurred for a second weed roller, swim raft, life jackets and water toys. The vehicle parking would also become much more congested posing a risk to small children in particular. The proposed location for these two cabins is already a groomed lawn area so no additional “clear cutting” would be required. r o\\ t’ \\ V\ \\ \\
