Commission grants variance for garage addition on Lower Whitefish Lake
Summary
Daniel Welch received approval for a variance to add 1,910 sq ft to a detached garage with a 65‑ft lake setback where 75 ft is required; staff recommended four conditions including permit, erosion control, stormwater and as‑built survey.
Crow Wing County’s Planning Commission approved a variance on Aug. 20 for Daniel Welch to build a 1,910‑square‑foot addition to a detached garage on Lower Whitefish Lake, reducing the required lake setback from 75 ft to 65 ft.
Staff reported the parcel is approximately 6.22 acres, the existing barn was built in 1985 under prior standards and the proposed addition is oriented away from the lake. Ideal Township recommended approval and staff recommended four conditions: obtain a land‑use permit prior to construction; submit an erosion and sediment control plan; submit a stormwater management plan; and provide an as‑built survey demonstrating compliance with variance conditions once construction is finished.
The applicant confirmed understanding of conditions and permits; the board moved and approved the variance with the recommended conditions.
