City of Battle Lake Scott Peterson Variance

Pursuant to City Code #150.102 of the City of Battle Lake, Scott and Connie Peterson are requesting a variance from impervious surface to go from 31% to 35% for their property located at 204 East Dunton Ave.  As this property is within 1000 of the lake, the maximum impervious allowed without a variance is 25%.  The existing yard channels water toward the house resulting in a leaky basement.  In addition, the surface is very uneven and presents a safety concern.  Allowing us to put in a sidewalk graded to channel water away from the house would solve both problems.  This solution would additionally and significantly beautify the property and bring it up to neighborhood standards.    Details for the above application are available for inspection at the City Clerk’s office at 108 Main Street East, Battle Lake, MN, or on the City’s website:  www.BattleLakeMN.org. The Battle Lake Planning Commission will review the request on Tuesday, June 4, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. at Battle Lake City Hall and make recommendations to the City Council. The City Council will conduct a hearing at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, in the City Council Rooms. Any objections to the granting of this variance may be made in person or via remote access, at the time of said Hearing, or by a letter sent to the Clerk-Treasurer of the City on or before, Tuesday, June 11, 2024,  Remote access to either meeting can be received by contacting the City Clerk for log-in information. Both meetings are also open to the public in person.    By order of the City Council Valerie J. Martin, Clerk-Treasurer (Published May 22, 2024)
