Board continues Stroup shoreline shed case; asks for survey and application amendment
Summary
The board continued Mark Stroup’s after‑the‑fact shed variance, asked for a surveyor impervious‑surface calculation and amendment to include additional structures and a fence, and noted that fence variances cannot be heard without prior advertisement.
The Morrison County Board of Adjustment continued an after‑the‑fact variance application from Mark and Theresa Stroup for a shed that encroaches on a septic holding tank and property lines at Lake Alexander. Staff reported that four structures without permits had been discovered and that two small sheds the applicants had said they would remove remained on site; staff also flagged a fence that appears to be placed near the property line and would require recorded agreement or a separate review.
Mark Stroup provided new documentation at the hearing: a septic pumping and compliance inspection receipt and a revised site plan with exact measurements. Staff calculated the applicant’s submitted impervious total at 24.8% including the new shed, which places the parcel near the county’s shoreland impervious threshold. Board members and staff concluded a surveyor‑prepared impervious‑surface calculation and an amended application that enumerates all buildings and the fence are necessary before final action.
Clint moved, and George seconded, to continue the application pending a surveyor’s impervious‑surface calculation and amendment; the board voted 4–1 to continue. Staff will send a letter outlining the materials the applicant must provide; the continuation avoids a reapplication fee.
