Commission approves Dalbecks’ variances for lake and wetland setbacks
Summary
The commission approved several variances for Brian and Barbara Dalbeck to rebuild a full‑time residence after water damage, granting reduced lake setbacks and wetland setbacks with three staff conditions.
Brian and Barbara Dalbeck asked the commission for multiple variances to allow them to replace and repair an existing nonconforming dwelling on North Long Lake. Staff explained the property history and the requested relief: a 25‑foot lake setback where 75 feet is required (south side), a 63‑foot setback where 75 feet is required (northeast corner), and wetland setbacks of 13 and 11 feet where 15 feet are required.
Commissioners who had visited the on‑site noted the site’s tree cover and topography and said they did not expect significant impacts to the lake from the proposed work. One commissioner moved to approve the variances "per the findings of fact that have been reviewed this evening and with the 3 conditions contained in the staff report," and the motion passed.
The approvals were contingent on the three staff conditions listed in the packet; staff reminded the applicants they must obtain the required land‑services permits before starting construction.
