James E. and Theresa Cross - Approved the variance as requested with conditions. (7:35 p.m.) James E. and Theresa Cross, part of Government Lot 6, Section 21 of Hobart Township by Rose Lake, requested the following; We are requesting a variance to split off (sell) a 15’ by 55’ parcel from our existing .97 - acre tract in order to attach it to the adjacent .19 acre tract owned by Judith A.

Tim and Judith Giuliani represented the applicants at the public hearing. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the variance as requested. After discussion and consideration, Steve Schierer made a motion, second by Michael Harris and unanimously carried, to approve the variance as described in the variance application dated July 7, 2007 and as depicted on the drawing submitted with the variance application with the following conditions; 1.) a registered surveyor’s drawing must be provided at the time of conveyance and 2.) a legally recorded easement must be granted to the Matson property before the property transfer can be legally recorded.

Existing grade goes up severely behind two existing sheds. Existing sheds will be moved off site. Request is for 84’ setback verse 100’ to allow useable garage orientation given site, and to minimize impact on toe of bluff. Site work along back of garage is estimated at 15-20 cubic yards. Garage being a maximum of 15’ into bluff. Jay Paulson, High Point Homes, represented the applicants at the public hearing. The audience was polled with no one speaking for or against the variance as requested. A letter from Owen Thompson and an email from Eirk Torgerson in support of the variance as requested were read for the record. Mark Ronning, Land and Resource Department noted that the proposed building site is not within a bluff area. After discussion and consideration, Randall Mann made a motion, second by Paul Larson and carried with Robert Schwartz voting no, to deny the variance as requested as no adequate hardship unique to the property had been shown that would allow for the granting of the variance as requested and noting that there is adequate room to provide the applicants with a reasonable use of their property that would not require the granting of a variance. Otter Tail County Government Services Center Board of Adjustment ^65 ^////'V RE: Variance Hearing August 2, 2007 This is in regards to the variance applied for by Tom Hanson for Lot 4 Otter Tail River Park, 36119 County Highway 72. There has been no green variance sign posted as to the variance as required by the Board of Adjustment. This has been the case in the past by this person for other variances he has applied for. I did notify the board on a previous application and all they said was they are supposed to display it. Isn’t he supposed to follow the rules as the others that have applied for variances have to do? Doesn’t there seem to be a problem with him following the rules? This is the second time, to my knowledge; he has applied for the variance after the fact. Why is it that if you have enough money to pay the fine it is OK? I feel if the board would crack down on these persons and make them tear down what has already happened people wouldn’t be so inclined to build and then ask for a variance after the fact. ^ lam asking that the board start being a little stricter with the Shoreline Rules and that it could start with this repeat offender and this variance.
