Comments from the lake associations: <br /> Cullen Lakes Association: <br /> We find the allowing of one water oriented accessory structure on a riparian lot to be <br /> reasonable, especially since they may not be located in the SIZ and they must be at least <br /> 20 feet from the side property lines. Speaking of that, why include "boat houses" in the <br /> definition of a water oriented accessory structure since such structures may not be <br /> adjacent to the lake? I've always wondered about that definition(I think it's even the <br /> DNR's language). <br /> Thank you for reaching out to the lake associations within your jurisdiction. <br /> Ann Beaver <br /> Cullen Lakes Association president and chair of its Land Development Committee <br /> East Twin Lake Association: <br /> (10-7-20) The East Twin Lake Association Board met last week to discuss the idea of <br /> changing current ordinance rules to begin permitting an accessory structure on lake front <br /> properties. <br /> It is our understanding that the discussion does not include the first 37.5 feet from the <br /> ordinary high water line. There would be no changes in that area. We strongly agree <br /> with that decision. <br /> We are then talking about the area between 37.5 and 75 feet from the ordinary high water <br /> line. Following discussion among our board, we do not support allowing structures to be <br /> added in this area. Our decision was based on the following: <br /> There is no hardship created by not allowing structures in this area. <br /> Current residents followed the rules regarding structures once they were put into <br /> effect. To change now would be unfair. <br /> Since we are talking about an area which already starts at 37.5 feet behind the <br /> ordinary high water line, we are looking at an area of only another 37.5 feet. It <br /> does not seem to create any hardship to maintain this space as structure free. <br /> With permits, structures can be added beyond the 75 foot line. <br /> Allowing structures in this area would block neighbor site lines which they have <br /> enjoyed for many years. <br /> Based on the above,the ETLA strongly recommends that no change be made to the <br /> current rules <br /> Thanks for giving us an opportunity to respond. <br /> Tom Adams <br /> Pequot Lakes Staff Report 6.i-2 <br /> November i9,2020 <br />
