Board approves lakeside variance and notes shoreline permit from Game, Fish and Parks
Summary
The board granted variance 2026-010 for a lakeside residence with a support-post 7 feet from the highest known water elevation and noted the applicant received a shoreline modification permit from South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks for required fill and retaining-wall work.
The board approved variance 2026-010 for construction of a lakeside residence where a support post would be located 7 feet from the highest known water elevation, well inside the standard lakeside setback.
Staff explained the property’s highest-known-water mark sits in a depression on the lot and that the project includes fill to raise the lowest floor at least 36 inches above that elevation; the applicant applied for and received a shoreline modification permit from South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks to add fill and construct a retaining wall at the lakeside.
Board findings granted the variance as a minimum necessary to allow reasonable use of the lot and required compliance with the shoreline permit and other safeguards; the motion passed by roll call.
