Commission approves 12×24 patio variance near Leech Lake for Jamie Michael
Summary
Jamie Michael received unanimous Planning Commission approval for a 12×24 patio at a 66‑foot setback from Leech Lake; conditions include a 15‑foot buffer, stormwater planning and an as‑built drawing.
The Planning Commission unanimously approved (7-0) a variance for Jamie Michael to construct a 12'×24' patio at a 66‑foot setback from the OHWL of Leech Lake (PID# 28-338-0150).
Commission findings noted the patio was part of original planned design and that the parcel’s characteristics support a practical difficulty determination. The approval includes standard environmental conditions: a 15‑ft no‑mow vegetative buffer outside the 20‑ft recreation/access corridor, coordination with the Cass Soil & Water Conservation District on stormwater management, no run‑off to the lake, and provision of an as‑built drawing post‑construction. The variance is effective until March 9, 2028 unless extended.
