Summary

During a packed agenda the commission approved a string of variances and preliminary plats — including Leffler Acres (three-lot preliminary plat) and multiple lake-setback variances — generally with conditions and unanimous roll-call votes; applicants were reminded that permits and final septic designs are required before construction.

The commission approved a series of variances and plats on Aug. 21, including a variance and recommendation for Leffler Acres (three-lot preliminary plat) and multiple lake-setback variances for residential additions and septic placements. Most measures passed by unanimous roll call, and the board attached conditions requiring permit submittals and, where applicable, septic design documentation before construction begins.

For example, the board approved a 33-foot road-right-of-way variance for the Perry and Shirley Leffler preliminary plat, and recommended the preliminary plat to the County Board with three conditions; Mission Lakes Association had asked the commission to ensure there would be no encroachment on wetlands. The board also approved lake-setback variances and additions for several property owners (including Galati and Davis applications) with specific conditions, and emphasized that any change to approved designs (structure size, septic layout, or location) would require a return to the board.
