Septic System Management Plan
for Above Grade Systems
The goal of a septic system is to protect human health and the environment by properly treating wastewater
before returning it to the environment. Your septic system is designed to kill harmful organisms and remove
pollutants before the water is recycled back into our lakes, streams and groundwater.
This management plan will identify the operation and maintenance activities necessary to ensure long-
term performance of your septic system. Some of these activities must be performed by you, the
homeowner. Other tasks must be performedby a licensed septicmaintaineror service provider. However,
it is YOUR responsibility to make sure all tasks get accomplished in a timely manner.
The University of Minncsota’s Septic System Owner '3 Guide contains additional tips and recommendations
designed to extend the effective life of your system and save you money over time.
Proper septic system design, installation, operation and maintenance means safeand clean water!

Homeowner Management Tasks
These operation and maintenance activities are your responsibility. Chart on page 6 can help
track your activities.
Your toilet is not a garbage can. Do not ?ush anything besides human waste and toilet paper. No wet
wipes, cigarette butts, disposal diapers, used medicine, feminine products or other trash!
The system and septic tanks needs to be

checked every 12 months
Your service provider or pumper/maintainer should evaluate if your tank needs to be pumped more or less
often.
Seasonally or several times per year
Leaks. Check (listen, look) for leaks in toilets and dripping faucets. Repair leaks promptly.
Soil treatment area. Regularly check for wet or spongy soil around your soil treatment area. If
surfaced sewage or strong odors are not corrected by pumping the tank or ?xing broken caps and
leaks, call your service professional. Untreated sewage may make humans and animals sick. Keep
bikes, snowmobiles and other traffic off and control borrowing animals.
Alarms. Alarms signal when there is a problem; contact your service professional any time the
alarm signals.
Lint?lter.If you have a lint ?lter, check for lint buildup and clean when necessary. If you do not
have one, consider adding one after washing machine.
Ef?uent screen. If you do not have one, consider having one installed the next time the tank is
cleaned along with an alarm.
Annually
Water usage rate. A water meter or another device can be used to monitor your average daily water
use. Compare your water usage rate to the design ?ow of your system (listed on the next page).
Contact your septic professional if your average daily ?ow over the course of a month exceeds 70%
of the design flow for your system.
Caps. Make sure that all caps and lids are intact and in place. Inspect for damaged caps at least
every fall. Fix or replace damaged caps before winter to help prevent freezing issues.
Water conditioning devices. See Page 5 for a list of devices. When possible, program the recharge
frequency based on water demand (gallons) rather than time (days). Recharging too frequently
may negatively impact your septic system. Consider updating to demand operation if your system
currently uses time,
Reviewyottr water usage rate. Review the Water Use Appliance chart on Page 5. Discuss any major
changes with your service provider or pumper/maintainer.
During each visit by a service provider or pumper/maintainer

Make sure that your service professional services the tank through the manhole.
(NOT though a 4” or 6” diameter inspection port.)
Ask how full your tank was with sludge and scum to determine if your service interval is
appropriate.
Ask your pumper/maintainer to accomplish the tasks listed on the Professional Tasks on Page 4.

OF MINNESOTA
Professional Management Tasks
Theseare the operation and maintenance activities that a pumper/maintainer performs
to help ensure long-
term performance ofyour system. At each visit a written report/record must be provided to homeowner.
Plumbing/Source of Wastewater
Review the Water Use Appliance Chart on Page 5 with homeowner.
Discuss any changes in water use and the impact those changes may have on the septic system.
Review water usage rates (if available) with homeowner.
Septic Tank/Pump Tanks

Manhole lid. A riser is recommended if the lid is not accessible from the ground
surface. Insulate
the riser cover for frost protection.
Liquid level. Check to make sure the tank is not leaking. The liquid level should be level
with the
bottom of the outlet pipe. (If the water level is below the bottom of the outlet pipe, the tank
may
not be watertight. If the water level is higher than the bottom of the
outlet pipe of the tank, the
ef?uent screen may need cleaning, or there may be ponding
in the soil treatment area.)
Inspection pipes. Replace damaged or missing pipes and caps.
Baf/les.Check to make sure they are in place and attached, and that inlet/outlet baf?es are clear of
buildup or obstructions.
Ef?uent screen. Check to make sure it is in place; clean per manufacturer recommendation.
Recommend retro?tted installation if one is not present.
Alarm. Verify that the alarm works.
Scum and sludge. Measure scum and sludge in each compartment of each septic and
pump tank,
pump if needed.
Pump and controls. Check to make sure the pump and controls are operating correctly.
Pump vault. Check to make sure it is in place; clean per manufacturer recommendations.
Alarm. Verify that the alami works.
Drainback. Check to make sure it is draining properly.
Event counter or elapsed time meter. Check to see if there is an event counter or elapsed
time
meter for the pump. If there is one or both, calculate the water usage rate
and compare to the
anticipated use listed on Design and Page 2. Dose Volume: 138 gallons: Pump run time:
57 Minutes
Soil Treatment Area

Inspection pipes. Check to make sure they are properly capped. Replace caps and
pipes that are
damaged.
Surfacing ofef?uent. Check for surfacing ef?uent or other signs of problems.
Lateral ?ushing. Check lateral distribution; if cleanouts exist, flush and clean at recommended
frequency.
Vegetation Check to see that a good growth of vegetation is covering the system.

The goal of a septic system is to protect human health and the environment by properly treating wastewater
before returning it to the environment. Your septic system is designed to kill harmful organisms and remove
pollutants before the water is recycled back into our lakes, streams and groundwater.
This management plan will identify the operation and maintenance activities necessary to ensure long-
term performance of your septic system. Some of these activities must be performed by you, the
homeowner. Other tasks Inust be performedby a licensedseptic maintainer or service provider. However,
it is YOUR responsibility to make sure all tasks get accomplished in a timely manner.
The University of Minnesota’s Septic System Owner '3 Guide contains additional tips and recommendations
designed to extend the effective life of your system and save you money over time.
Proper septic system design, installation, operation and maintenance means safeand clean water.’

Homeowner Management Tasks
These operation and maintenance activities are your responsibility. Chart on page 6 can help
track your activities.
Your toilet is not a garbage can. Do not flush anything besides human waste and toilet paper. No wet
wipes, cigarette butts, disposal diapers, used medicine, feminine products or other trash!
The system and septic tanks needs to be

checked every 12 months
Your service provider or pumper/maintainer should evaluate if your tank needs to be pumped more or less
often.
Seasonally or several times per year
Leaks. Check (listen, look) for leaks in toilets and dripping faucets. Repair leaks promptly.
Soil treatment area. Regularly check for wet or spongy soil around your soil treatment area. If
surfaced sewage or strong odors are not corrected by pumping the tank or ?xing broken caps and
leaks, call your service professional. Untreated sewage may make humans and animals sick. Keep
bikes, snowmobiles and other traffic off and control borrowing animals.
Alarms. Alarms signal when there is a problem; Contact your service professional any time the
alarm signals.
Lint?lter.If you have a lint ?lter, check for lint buildup and clean when necessary. If you do not
have one, consider adding one after washing machine.
Ef?uent screen. If you do not have one, consider having one installed the next time the tank is
cleaned along with an alarm.
Annually
Water usage rate. A water meter or another device can be used to monitor your average daily water
use. Compare your water usage rate to the design ?ow of your system (listed on the next page).
Contact your septic professional if your average daily flow over the course of a month exceeds 70%
of the design ?ow for your system.
Caps. Make sure that all caps and lids are intact and in place. Inspect for damaged caps at least
every fall. Fix or replace damaged caps before winter to help prevent freezing issues.
Water conditioning devices. See Page 5 for a list of devices. When possible, program the recharge
frequency based on water demand (gallons) rather than time (days). Recharging too frequently
may negatively impact your septic system. Consider updating to demand operation if your system
currently uses time,
Review your water usage rate. Review the Water Use Appliance chart on Page 5. Discuss any major
changes with your service provider or pumper/maintainer.
During each visit by a service provider or pumper/maintainer

Make sure that your service professional services the tank through the manhole.
(NOT though a 4” or 6” diameter inspection port.)
Ask how full your tank was with sludge and scum to determine if your service interval is
appropriate.
Ask your pumper/maintainer to accomplish the tasks listed on the Professional Tasks on Page 4.

Review the Water Use Appliance Chart on Page 5 with homeowner.
Discuss any changes in water use and the impact those changes may have on the septic system.
Review water usage rates (if available) with homeowner.
Septic Tank/Pump Tanks

Manhole lid. A riser is recommended if the lid is not accessible from the ground surface. Insulate
the riser cover for frost protection.
Liquid level. Check to make sure the tank is not leaking. The liquid level should be level with the
bottom of the outlet pipe. (If the water level is below the bottom of the outlet pipe, the tank may
not be watertight. If the waterlevel is higher than the bottom of the outlet
pipe of the tank, the
ef?uent screen may need cleaning, or there may be ponding in the
soil treatment area.)
Inspection pipes. Replace damagedor missing pipes and caps.
Ba?les. Check to make sure they are in place and attached, and that inlet/outlet baffles are clear of
buildup or obstructions.
Effluentscreen. Check to make sure it is in place; clean per manufacturer recommendation.
Recommend retro?tted installation if one is not present.
Scum and sludge. Measure scum and sludge in each compartment of each septic and
pump tank,
pump if needed.
Pump and controls. Check to make sure the pump and controls are operating correctly.
Pump vault. Check to make sure it is in place; clean per manufacturer recommendations.
Drainback. Check to make sure it is draining properly.
Event counter or elapsed time meter. Check to see if there is an event counter or elapsed time
meter for the pump. If there is one or both, calculate the water usage rate and
compare to the
anticipated use listed on Design and Page 2. Dose Volume: gallons: Pump run time:
Minutes
Soil Treatment Area

Inspection pipes. Check to make sure they are properly capped. Replace caps and pipes that are
damaged.
Surfacing ofef?uent. Check for surfacing ef?uent or other signs of problems.
Lateral ?ushing. Check lateral distribution; if cleanouts exist, ?ush and clean at recommended
frequency.
Vegetation Check to see that a good growth of vegetation is covering the system.

Variance Application 30-V-23 by Michel Solien: Part of Gov't Lot 3 and 4, Section 8, Township 141, Range
34, Lake Emma Township on Pickerel Lake, a recreational development lake. Parcel 16.08.00710. Applicant is
requesting Part 1: a variance from the requirement in Section 402, Item 7.D of the Shoreland Management
Ordinance (SMO) that a recreational vehicle campground must have a centralized subsurface sewage
treatment system and Part 2: a variance from the 150’ ordinary high water mark drainfield setback requirement
in Sections 502.2, 801.3, and 1013.7.A of the SMO.
Enclosed Document(s):
 30-V-23 application
 2020 aerial imagery w/2’ elevation contours overlain
The two parts to this application are septic system-related and for a proposed 47 RV campground for which a
conditional use permit is planned to be requested in the next month or two. The SMO requires that all the sites
in an RV campground be serviced by a single SSTS. Part 1 of the application requests a variance from this
requirement as the applicant’s SSTS designer proposes using two separate SSTS to service the proposed RV
campground. Part 2 of the application seeks a variance from the 150’ OHW setback for one of the proposed two
drainfield mound locations. Each drainfield is proposed to be made up of three separate mounds that would be
dosed through a time-dosage system to allow each mound to have a resting period.
Staff is supportive of the Part 1 request as having two systems vs one means that one system is still operational
if the other goes down rather than having the entire campground be affected if a single system would ever have
an issue. Staff is not supportive of Part 2 as the property is 26.5 ac., ~1100’ wide on average, ~700’ deep on
average, and the topography and soils allow ample room meeting setbacks where a drainfield can be placed. It
is the proposed RV campground layout that is driving the need for the OHW setback variance.
Below are the findings of fact questions for your consideration:
Part 1
1. Is the variance in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official controls?
Yes ( X ) No ( )
Why or why not? Having two SSTS rather than one allows part of the campground to remain operational if
one of the SSTS has issues vs. having the entire campground being affected if there is an issue with a
single SSTS being used. Having two drainfield sites also disperses the effluent and allows the soil loading
to be distributed and the volume of effluent handled by a given drainfield to be lessened. This reduces the
potential for the effluent to enter the groundwater before being effectively treated.
2. Is the property owner proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by an official
control?
Yes ( X ) No ( )
Why or why not? Not putting all one’s eggs into a single basket in terms of having two drainfields vs. one is
a reasonable proposal that offers a higher likelihood of environmental protection. There will still be only two
SSTS servicing the RV sites that will have water/sewer hook-ups so the ordinance’s objective of
centralized SSTS is still being met.
Page 735 of 785

Staff Report
3. Is the need for a variance due to circumstances unique to the property and not created by the current or
prior property owners?
Yes ( X ) No ( )
Why or why not? The topography of the property is rolling hills, valleys, and swales which lends itself to
separate SSTS making more sense to install as that keeps the system designs as simple as possible and
simple designs are less susceptible to having issues that affect performance than more complicated systems
with more moving parts.
4. Will the issuance of the variance maintain the essential character of the locality?
Yes ( X ) No ( )
Why or why not? Whether the proposed RV campground has one or two septic systems will not harm the
locality’s character as a septic system is a standard accessory component to any commercial or residential
use that generates sewage. If anything, splitting the required septic system sizing into two systems will
mean that the proposed mound drainfields will be smaller in size and thus less aesthetically obtrusive than
one large single drainfield.
5. Does the stated practical difficulty involve more than just economic considerations?
Yes ( X ) No ( )
Why or why not? Economics are not cited in the application as a practical difficulty.
Part 2
1. Is the variance in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official controls?
Yes ( ) No ( X )
Why or why not? The lot is 26.5 ac. in size and an average of 1100’ wide x 700’ deep. There are no
topographic or soils constraints that prevent a drainfield from meeting the 150’ OHW setback. When
permittable options exist, no practical difficulty exists and thus granting a variance from the 150’ OHW
setback would not be in harmony with the ordinance’s intent.
2. Is the property owner proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by an official
control?
Yes ( ) No ( X )
Why or why not? Given the lot size, dimensions, topography, and soils conditions mentioned in the answer
to question 1, seeking relief from the 150’ OHW setback when there is ample room on the property to meet
the setback is not a reasonable request.
3. Is the need for a variance due to circumstances unique to the property and not created by the current or
prior property owners?
Yes ( ) No ( X )
Why or why not? The property is 26.5 ac. in size and averages 1100’ in width and at least 700’ in depth.
There are no topographic or soils constraints preventing all needed SSTS drainfields from meeting the 150’
OHW setback. The need for the variance is due to how the applicant would like to lay out the proposed RV
campground.
4. Will the issuance of the variance maintain the essential character of the locality?
Yes ( X ) No ( )
Why or why not? The proposed drainfield site that will not meet the 150’ OHW setback will be at least 100’
from the ordinary high water mark and surrounded by a mature Norway Pine plantation so it will not be
visible from the lake, Holly Road, or nearby properties.

Variance, Parcel No. 16.08.00710
To Whom It May Concern,
I am a property owner on Pickerel Lake and I am concerned about having an RV park on the lake.
Forty seven lots seems like it would draw a lot of extra road traffic and Holly Road is in bad shape
as it is. In other words, the road is NOT being taken care of properly. Also, I’m concerned about
all the boats on the lake and the extra pollution they will cause. The lake is too small to
accommodate that much boat traffic.
Also, I definitely am against a sewage treatment system to allow for 47 RV lots.
I am requesting that this variance be denied because of road traffic on a road that is NOT being
taken care of. Extra boat traffic on a small lake and the sewage system that’s being requested.
If you have any questions please contact me at 952-250-5987.
Thank You,

RE: Proposed RV park on Pickerel Lake
We have recently been noti?ed that there is an RV park proposal consisting of 46 units
to be built at the west end of Pickerel Lake.
We have been homeowners on this lake for 55 years. We have been tax payers on this
lake for 55 years. This is a small, quiet lake. There is not room for 46 more boats,
people, campers, etc. There is a public landing that anyone can use.
The area of the lake where the proposal is being made has a lot of loon habitat and a
large eagle nest that has an eagle family in it each time you drive around the lake.
I'm also concerned about the amount of wake boards that may enter the lake. We can
handle a few, but they can cause so much damage to the lake shore.
I would also assume that in order for this to happen, there would be hundreds of trees
cut down destroying more habitat.
What gets destroyed can not come back.
Sincerely,

Dear Eric,
I am writing in opposition to the 47 RV Campsite proposal on Pickerel

Lake.
I have owned property on the lake for almost 8 years. The lake is very
clean. Not only are my concerns about the septic variance, I am also
concerned about the lakes shoreland development. The lake is roughly
310 acres and the shoreline for the proposed RV site is only 3 foot deep. It
has lots of lily pads and vegetation for the fish. Basically, this will destroy
the natural shoreline. I'm sure they will want to make a swimming beach,
boat and parking docks. They will have to use chemicals to remove
weeds, herbicides for tick control, there will be run off from the sites,
etc. RV's have a lot of sewer usage.
My other concern is boat density (# boats/acre). Increased boat traffic can

contribute to water pollution.
Also, if you add another 47 boats on the lake, this lake will be overfished
and the loons and eagles will leave. That's probably a DNR issue.
Anyway, please take my concerns at heart and I believe by implementing

regulations, promoting responsible boating practices, and limiting the
number of participants can help recreational activities with environmental
preservation.
Please vote NO to stop this development. If you need to reach out to me

with any questions, please email tammi.soehl@gmail.com

RE: Variance Application 30-V-23 by Michel Solien for Parcel 16.08.00710
Please be advised that we strongly oppose the proposed development of a campground by Michel Solien
on Parcel 16.08.00710 on Pickeral Lake.Accordingly, we oppose the granting of any variances that would
further his efforts to develop the proposed campground.
We have owned property on the south shore of Pickeral Lake since 2003. Pickeral Lake is a small (311
acres), shallow lake that cannot possibly handle the stress that will be introduced by the proposed
campground. As stated in Section 201 of the Hubbard County Shoreland Management Ordinance No. 17
("Ordinance”), Pickeral Lake is a Recreational Development Lake. As you know, Section 302, Paragraph 2
of the Ordinance stipulates criteria to protect Recreational Development Lakes from development that
would be unsuitable. We believe that the proposed development of a campground on Parcel
16.08.00710 would be highly unsuitable and therefore violates the Ordinance. In particular, the
proposed development is not consistent with other existing development and use. Further, it would not
promote the bene?cial use of public water to the general public as an excellent public access already
exists for that purpose. Furthermore, that portion of the lake is not suitable for the launching of
watercraft. Finally,a campground would adversely affect the bene?cial use of Pickeral Lake by existing
riparian owners. We riparian owners would expect our quiet enjoyment of small Pickeral Lake, as well as
our property values, to be adversely affected if this unsuitable development proceeds.
We are highly concerned about any variances to the Ordinance provisions for septic systems that would
harm the surface water quality of Pickeral Lake. Accordingly,we request that you not approve Variance
Application 30-V-23 that would lessen such requirements for Parcel 16.08.00710. Such a proposed
variance would con?ict with the law and spirit of the Ordinance.
Please do not grant any variances or conditional use permits that would allow this proposed unsuitable
development to proceed.

RE: Variance 30-V-23
Dear Mr. Buitenwerf,
We are submitting a written objection for the proposed Septic Variance for a 47—unitcampground
being proposed on the west end of Pickerel Lake.
we have many concerns:

0 What is the reason for asking for multiple septic systems over one centralized septic system as
is recommended by current zoning regulations?
0 There are currently, approximately 85 dwellings on Pickerel Lake
0 A campground of 47 sites is a potential increase of 55% for boating, ?shing, and water sports
O Has an environmental study been done on how this would impact Pickerel Lake (311 acres of
water surface)? And if not, shouldn't one be done before approving any variance?
O Pickerel Lake is currently free of invasive species, will all boats from the campground be
inspected and cleared before launching?
- Things that should be considered are:
0 Soil type and slope to the lake
0 Potential leaching that may impact the aquifer that feeds this lake and ultimately, who is
responsible if a there is leaching into the lake?
This is a pristine spring—fedlake. Any problems could immediately and irreparably damage
the lake
No launch site is shown on the proposal, which means that campers would need to use the
public access to launch a boat
I The current public access is small, enough room to turn around, but not much more
I Location of the current public access is limited by water on all sides, so could not be
enlarged for increased usage
Routes to public access will increase wear and tear on the Holly Road, 270"‘,Happy Drive,
Hoff Trail, and Hannah Lane depending on which route is taken, whose responsibility is it for
the increased upkeep on these roads?
I Holly Road to 270*to County Road 4 to Happy Drive to HoffTrail to Hannah Lane
I Holly Road to County Road 40 to County Road 4 to Happy Drive to HoffTrail to Hannah
Page 746 of 785

o Speci?c items about this property are:
0 Almost the entire length of the shoreline consists of lily pads and cat tails, and
environmentally presents as wetlands
0 How much of this natural environment would be destroyed for lake access for this proposed
campground, dock, and boat slips as shown on the drawing? How many feet out from the
shore is the proposed clockand boat slips?
The proposal also shows a swimming area. How many feet of the natural environment is
proposed to be destroyed? How much sand is proposed to be brought in to create a non-
existent swimming beach?
This property is heavily wooded close to the lake, how much of the land will be cleared?
There is a small island off the adjacent Lot 4 that Ioons use to nest most years. How will the
potential increase of activity in this area, impact their nesting time?
There is an existing bald eagle's nest on adjacent Lot 4. with potential increase of activity in
this area, is there the possibility that the bald eagles with eventually be impacted? Even
though bald eagles are no longer an endangered species, they are still protected under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act according to the US
Fish & WildlifeService. Have these Acts been checked for zoning regulations?
For the above stated concerns and questions, we respectfully request that this variance is not

To whom it may concern,
This is in regard to the proposed variance application 30-V-23. This variance is for the
sewage treatment and drain?eld on Pickerel Lake.
Speaking for the homeowners on and around Pickerel we are vehemently opposed to
the variance as well as the campground. There is no reason for the variance other than
to add more space for more campsites. There is no possible upside for the environment
by granting this variance.
The potential for sewage leaks into the environment is there, it is impossible to believe
a breach of some sore won’t happen. This is a very shallow part of the lake and the
environment needs to be protected at all costs. The eagle nest on this part of the lake
will most likely be negatively affected as well as other wildlife and the environment in
general.
The additional boat and vehicle traffic generated by this campground with be a further
detriment to the environment. Giving a variance for a sewage treatment system so close
to the lake is unnecessary and will eventually impact the surrounding environment.
My family has been on Pickerel Lake since the early 1970’s and have been good
stewards of the land. I am asking you to do the same. Additionally, I would request an
Environmental Impact Study be initiated for the whole project as well as the proposed
septic variance.
I plan on being at the Board of Adjustment walk thru on August 24th and look forward
to hearing the rationale for even considering granting the variance request.

Re: Hubbard County Planning Commission I Board of Adjustment Monday, August 28, 2023
Variance Application 30-V-23 by Michel Solien: Part of Govt Lot 3 and 4, Section 8, Township 141, Range 34, Lake
Emma Township on Pickerel Lake, a recreational development lake. Parcel 16.08.00710. Applicant is requesting Part 1: a
variance from the requirement in Section 402, Item 7.D of the Shoreland Management Ordinance (SMO) that a recreational
vehicle campground must have a centralized subsurface sewage treatment system and Part 2: a variance from the 150’
ordinary high water mark drainfield setback requirement in Sections 502.2, 801.3, and 1013.7.A of the SMO.
Board of Adjustment members,
lam opposed to the variance requested. It appears to be done for economic gain and the land in
question has sufficient suitable area for reasonable septic needs. The applicant is maximizing
development economic potential at the expense of the balance of parcels on Pickerel Lake. I am not
opposed to reasonable development, and expected the 7 or 8 parcels that were previously laid out and
signed for lots to develop into future cabins.
Other than the applicant property, there are approximately 80 lake access parcels on Pickerel. The
application proposal is for over one—halfagain as many sites as exist. The septic treatment needs will
increase proportionately having unknown detrimental effects.
The increased use of boat traffic from the proposed pier will result in degradation of the existing public
landing. The proposed pier will not be able to accommodate the potential boating needs for the number
of RV sites. This will lead to unwanted beaching for restroom breaks or using the lake inappropriately.
The existing landing already has no restroom facilities. Perhaps the applicant should provide their own
launch area and porta—potties as needed.
The proposed septic system is sized for campground use. The rules are antiquated for the potential year-
round use of todays modern RVs. Modern RVs are being manufactured as Tiny Homes and for four
season living. Many have dishwashers, full laundry, multiple baths and accommodate large groups of
people. This is far from the tent and old RV the septic rules of the past were designed for.
I feel the County should address the non—septic issues this application will create with a conditional use
permit. I have a hard time equating the number of cabins that would be presently allowed with this
proposal for over 47 RV/cabins. A moratorium on these RV campgrounds is in order to study this issue.

Variance Application 3OV—23
Dear Mr. Buitenwert,
Joyce and I have enjoyed the Park Rapids area most of our lives, as visitors, campers, seasonal RV site owners and
?nally a Pickerel Lakeresidence for the past 16 years.
We were saddened to hear about the Decision HillsCampground Proposal to construct a 40+ unit RV Park on the
SW shore of PickerelLake. Pickerel Lake, a 310—acre lake, simply cannot sustain a project of this magnitude.
Our questions and concerns are many.

0 Disrupting natural habitat. Wildlifeabounds; deer, bear, racoon, fox, loons, and we have enjoyed
a nesting eagle and its babies for the past 10+ years as well.
0 Destroying the natural shoreline. This area of the lake is 5' or less and full of natural vegetation
key to PickerelLake eco system.
0 increased watercraft usage will contribute to lake accidents and shoreline erosion.
0 Introducing increased watercraft will lead to more AISinvading PickerelLake.
0 The boat access is already too small to accommodate the many visitors that come to enjoy the
lake.
0 Willa 6' path to the HW requirement be enforced?
0 VRBO/Airbnb—wil|the State, County and Township rules apply?
These are just a few of our questions and concerns.
As a small-town business owner for nearly 40 years, I know and understand the economics of bringing more people
to the Park Rapids area. With the recent boom in campground’s usage, it is evident that more areas are needed to
accommodate these visitors. HOWEVER,Pickerel Lake is not a good fit for a 40+ unit RV site, a larger lake
perhaps.
As such, we are opposed to the project.
Mr. Buitenwert, we want to thank you in advance for your DENYINGMr. Solien’s variance re uest.
Altering any sewage treatment system requirements in this case is unthinkable.

Dear Environmental Services:
As a property owner on Pickerel Lake near Emmaville, MN, it has come to our attention that
another property owner on this lake is requesting Part 1: a variance from the requirement in
Section 402, Item 7.D of the Shoreland Management Ordinance (SMO) that a recreational
vehicle campground must have a centralized subsurface sewage treatment system and Part 2: a
variance from the 150’ ordinary high water mark drain?eld setback requirement in Sections
502.2, 801.3, and 1013.7.A of the SMO.
We wish to let it be known that we are adamantly opposed to approving these variance
requests. Subsurface sewage treatment system and drainfield regulations have been thoroughly
researched by experts and applied by county officials to protect the environmental integrity and
preservation of our natural resources and public health. To grant an individual any variance
fromthese regulations is not in the best interest of the public locally or regionally.
i
btherHubbard County rural and lake property owners have spent and will continue to spend
many thousands of dollars to create and maintain compliant subsurface sewage treatment
systems. Any further development in the county should be obligated to follow the regulations
currently in place.
We are con?dent the Hubbard County officials responsible for a decision on this matter will
make the right decision to protect our natural resources and public health by declining the
requests for variances on the centralized subsurface sewage treatment system and drain?eld
setback requirements at 25848 Holly Road, Park Rapids, MN legally described as Part of Gov’t

Pickerel Lake is a small, relatively quiet lake and a home for much wildlife including Bald Eagles and
families of Loons. The west end of the lake is very shallow.
The proposed RV park for the west end of the lake will impact this lake, the natural environment and the
wildlife.
It is your responsibility to assess the applicant's request for variance from requirements of the Shoreland

To all concerned parties,
My name is Lorin Stephenson, my wife and I own 17981lvy Dr on PickerelLake. I

recently became aware of a proposed campground on Pickerel Lake. I have many
concerns with this proposal. First of all, I believe that Pickerel Lake is too small a
body of water to accommodate that many extra people, and would quickly
exhaust the limited resources of Pickerel Lake.Also, the road on the west side of
the lake is very narrow for heavier traf?c, and inevitably while trying to pass, some
one is going to end up in the water. I think the noise and other pollution this
would create would be excessive. Boat traffic on weekends on Pickerel is about all
the lake can handle now. More boats and jet skis would be detrimental to the
health of the lake, and would be downright dangerous. As far as granting a
variance for setbacks and sewage, that's a terrible idea that close to any body of
water, especially with a high concentration of people.
Thank you, KimStephenson

Dear Mr. Buitenwerf:
We are respectively writing in regards to Variance Application 30-V-23 by applicant: Michel Solien at property address:
25848 Holly Road, Park Rapids, MN 56470. He is proposing to build a 47 site RV park with a marina. As permanent residents
on Pickerel Lake, our concerns are as follows:
Q1
0 Sewage: We are in absolute agreement with the staff study findings to deny the request for a variance to 150
feet for sewage set back requirement. What safeguards will be in place to prevent lake contamination if the
system fails? What water level is being used to determine the setback distance starting point? Twenty years ago,
the water was 6-7 feet higher than the current level.
0 Environmental Disturbance: Heavy machinery used in the construction process will compact the soil, making it
difficult for water absorption that supports plant life. The proposed plans for the RV park will necessitate the
removal of vegetation and wildlife habitat. This will lead to erosion and sedimentation which will have a direct
impact on aquatic species and the swans and loons that have nested on that part of the lake for decades.
The high demand for water for 47 RV sites will also put a strain on groundwater sources. By adding these sites,
you are essentially increasing the number of residents on the lake by 50%.
0 Increased Road[Boat Traffic: Who will take on the responsibility of upgrading or maintaining the roads when a
new development goes in? The RV traffic will cause damage to gravel roads that were not built for heavy vehicle
traffic, thus a heavier road to be built. This would include Happy Drive, Hoff Trail and Hannah Lane which are
privately maintained gravel roads that lead to the public access.
Additionally, the public access is only minimally maintained, cannot be expanded and its size is not suitable for
an increased load. Has there been an environmental study done to determine if a lake the size of Pickerel can
sustain this level of traffic following the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources guidelines of 20 acres per
boat with high—speed watercraft? The increase of transient boat traffic will also greatly increase the likelihood
of the introduction of Aquatic Invasive Species to a lake that is currently free of them.
0 Noise Pollution: Will Mr. Solien be living onsite to implement and enforce noise regulations? Prolonged
exposure to noise can harm reproductive success and stress levels of local wildlife.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello Mr. Buitenwerf,

We are opposed to a RV Park being possibly permitted to build on Pickerel Lake. Especially, one asking for variants to
push the limits of the land & lake.
Access to the land via Holly Road, so many docks on a small lake, future control over proper use and upkeep of the land
are all concerns of ours. We are battling invasive species staying out of our lakes as it is, Blue Lake will be an easy stop
for these campers to boat at and we fear Pickerel Lake along with Blue Lake will have negative impacts for the lakes
themselves and existing property owners.
There is the new park going in on county road 4, the old ski lodge, and ManTrap's RV park, this is enough for the area.
We do not feel opening up so much lakeshore on a small lake for a campground is necessary for the community and the
other Pickerel Lake shore owners.

SUBJECT: STRONG OPPOSITIONTO CAMPGROUNDON PICKERALLAKE Park Rapids, MN 56470
SUBJECT: STRONGOPPOSITION TO CAMPGROUNDON PICKERALLAKE
I am writing to express my strong concerns and objections regarding the proposed RV campground
park development within our community. While I understand the importance of progress and
growth, I firmly believe that allowing such a development would have significant negative impacts on
our neighborhood and the surrounding environment.
1. Traffic Congestion: The construction of an RV campground park will lead to increased traffic
congestion. This could result in safety hazards to those that want to enjoy the lake. And will
also contribute to noise pollution.
2. Environmental Concerns: The establishment of an RV campground park on a lake that is only
310 acres would lead to environmental degradation, particularly if it is not designed with
sustainable practices in mind. Increased waste generation, potential harm to local wildlife,
and alteration of natural habitats could have lasting negative effects on our ecosystem.
3. Quality of Life:Our community is known for its tranquility and peaceful atmosphere. The
introduction of an RV campground park, with its potential for noise from RV generators,
increased foot traffic, and other associated activities, could compromise the quality of life
that residents have come to cherish Pickeral Lake.
4. Property Values: The presence of a campground park could potentially lead to a decrease in
property values for residents in the vicinity. The sight of an RV park and the potential for
increased traffic may not align with the desires of potential homebuyers.
My family has owned property/Cabin for over 50 years on Pickeral Lake, being a little girl at only 1
the memories and enjoyment that I have experienced can never be replaced. Knowing that, my
grandchildren, nieces, and nephews are also learning to appreciate the beauty and tranquility of the
lake. I urge you to carefully consider these concerns before deciding on whether to approve the
development of the RV campground park. I believe that it is essential for our community's wel|—
and |ong»term sustainability that we prioritize thoughtful development that aligns with the being
values
and needs of our residents. I kindly request that you consider the voices of the residents who will be
directly impacted by this decision. Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope that you will

Dear Sir or Madam:
This letter is to provide comment for the Public Hearing for Variance, Application 30—V—23.My wife and
1, Amy and Chris Jackson, are property owners on Piekerel Lake. Our property is located at l7929 Ivy
Drive.
We were very recently made aware of the referenced hearing. We propose to voice our strong opposition
togranting the requested variances listed as Parts I and 2 under the Purpose section ofthe llearing
Notice.
EPA regulations regarding septic system setbacks from water bodies were set in place for obvious
reasons. An RV Park of this proposed size will generate a large volume of sewage. When the system does
fail, as it eventually will at some point, the resulting leakage will make its way to the Lake. lfthe setback
is allowed to be less than I50’ there will be less response time, creating the potential for a larger spill. /\
non—eentralizedsystem places the bulk ofthe storage closer to the lake as well. ljndetected leakage would
have easy access to shallower groundwater, and being closer to the lake, and the scale ofthe resulting
contamination could be devastating to the lake's eco-systems. Not only are septic system failures
dangerous to the surrounding eco-system, but spills are also a direct health hazard to anyone, or any
animal exposed to it. Spills can also contaminate groundwater, wells, and surface waters. Mitigation
would also have cost impacts on public and private entities. All these negative impacts can be easily
avoided by denying the requested variances. We strongly implore the Board to deny both requested
variances, not only for the welfare of current Piekerel Lake residents and property owners, but also
anyone who uses the lake.
In addition to denial of the requests, we would respectfully ask the Board to consider denial ofthe RV
park in total. The reasons for this request are many:
I Pickerel Lake is a small lake; it cannot reasonably nor safely sustain a high volume ofadditional
boating traffic. The additional personal watercraft and boat traffic will increase the risk of
accidents and loss.
I Additional lake traffic will also increase the amount ofshoreline erosion due to increased wake
activity.
0 The park would most likely require some sort of deck facilities for the guests. Given the shallow
depth of that end of the lake, a large portion of vegetation would need to be removed. Chemical
treatment for these lake weeds would be the most effective method of control but could very
realistically have a detrimental effect on aquatic life as well.
0 Precipitation run off from the paved areas ofthe park will wash contaminants into the lake over
Page 767 of 785

I Hubbard County Road Department will be facing greatly increasedcosts to maintain Holly Road,
Half Moon Road, and 270"‘Street from the increased,and heavy, multi-axlevehiculartra?ic.
I lncreased vehicular traffic at the intersectionsof Holly Road and County Road 40, Half Moon
Road and County Road 40, and Holly Road and Half Moon Road give serious rise to increased
vehicular accidents due the design and limited sight visions at said intersections.
0 There is risk of some campers not using the dump station at the park, opting instead to illegally
dump gray and black water directly onto the county roads, due to long lines at said dump station.
0 The serenity and pristine nature of Pickerel Lake would be forever marred and degraded by the
proposed large number of lots and resulting larger number of campers.
0 The eco-system would be placed under a high degree of stress through high ?shing pressure,
higher general lake traffic, and a larger number of people in the area. Lake wildlife currently
includesloons and bald eagles. The higher presence of people on this lake may have detrimental
effects on their abilities to safely and successfully rear offspring.
For these reasons, we are humblysubmittingour opposition to the requested variances and respectfully
ask that the Board deny requests regarding this application.
We currently live in Lincoln, Nebraska, but regularly visit our property on the lake. If you have questions
regarding the above points, please let us know. We can be reached at 308-238- I749, or

I have a lake home on Pickerel Lake for the past 45 years. l choice to avoid the over populated, dirty, crowded lakes
near Detroit Lakes and area to its south. i choice Pickerel because it was less coveted than other lakes in the area. It
was less attractive and more natural and less spoiled. large areas of the lake were native wetlands which were likely
never to be develop because of the shallow swampy shoreline.
Now were have a developer (the second in as many decades) who knew the development they planned was not
allowed by the zoning regulations. In this case the land was zoned for 5 lots for possible lake homes allowing limit
changes to the shoreline, due to it being a protected wetland. The developer now has plans for ten times that number
homes with nearly concrete RV pads. Fifty RV pads will have ten times the impacted on the lake's character and its the
native wetland. The developer is asking to change the the land usage from 5 single residential homes to fifty "smalls
homes" and they will be homes, not a campground! As "Small Homes" the county must taxed at a higher rate as
required by law. It is not going to be a campground. individual pads with individual year around sewage and water are
not characteristics of camp grounds, but housing development.
Hubbard County needs to stop granting variance to developers who know the rules before making their investing.
Pleading for a variance to do zoning laws may be business as usual for developers, but but for the zoning board to grant
makes a mockery of Hubbard County rules and regulation.
I Most voice my strongest objections to granting this Variance.

RE: Application 30-V-23

To Hubbard County,
I would oppose granting a septic variance for this application. It makes no sense to allow a variance for a
commercial enterprise when the variance is only being requested as a means to increase pro?ts.
Variances should be reserved for situations where there are no reasonable alternatives. This situation has
alternatives.
Before this proposed park proceeds, I would like to see data showing what impact lakeside RV parks have on
different lake classes. At what ratio of sites to lake acreage do these parks become problematic?
The number of sites proposed seems more suited to a 5000 acre lake than to one of 300 acres. The current
plan has the potential to have this property's guests outnumber the existing lake residents on any given day.
Such a sudden and substantial addition to the number of neighbors who would share our lake is going to have a
major impact on what we see, hear, and how we experience life at the lake.
Sincerely,
Mary Griebler

To Whom this Concerns:
Trustees ofthe Hubbard County Environmental Services
This letter is to address the concerns raised with the application submitted for a variance from the
requirement in Section 402, Item 7.D of Shoreland Management Ordinance (SMO) that a recreational
vehicle campground must have a centralized subsurface sewage treatment system and Part 2: a variance
from the 150’ ordinary high water mark drain?eld setback requirement in Sections 502.2, 801.3, and
1013.7.A of the SMO for the property address of 25848 Holly Road, Park rapids, MN 56470 (legal
description: Pat of Gov't Lot 3 and 4, Section 8, Township 141, Range 34) parcel ID 16.08.00710. The
concerns are with granting permission to develop the fore-mentioned property this type of access for
development are as follows:
1. Nutrient Pollution: Subsurface sewage treatment systems, if not properly managed, can contribute to
nutrient pollution. Nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus from treated wastewater can leach into the
groundwater and ?nd their way into the lake. Excessive nutrient levels can lead to algal blooms, oxygen
depletion, and eutrophication in the lake, disrupting the natural balance of the aquatic ecosystem.
2. Groundwater Contamination: Even with setback requirements, there's a possibility of groundwater

contamination due to inadequate treatment, system failures, or poor maintenance. Contaminants form
sewage can seep into the groundwater which may eventually ?ow into the groundwater, which may
eventually ?ow into the lake, affecting water quality and aquatic life.
3. Habitat Disruption: Construction and maintenance activities associated with subsurface sewage
systems can disrupt terrestrial habitats near the lake. Clearing land, digging trenches, and installing
infrastructure can disturb soil, vegetation, and wildlife habitats, potentially leading to habitat loss and
fragmentation.
4. Erosion and Sedimentation: Improperly managed construction and maintenance activities can
contribute to soil erosion and sedimentation. Sediments can be carried into the lake, leading to
increased turbidity and reduced water clarity. This can impact aquatic plants, ?sh spawning areas, and
other aquatic organisms that rely on clear water conditions.
5. Invasive Species: Human activity related to sewage system installation and maintenance can
inadvertently introduce invasive plant species to the area. Invasive species can outcompete native
vegetation and disrupt the balance of the local ecosystem, affecting both terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
6. Wetland Impact: Lakes are often interconnected with wetlands, which provide essential ecosystems
services like water ?ltration and ?ood control. If subsurface sewage are allowed too close to wetland
areas, there's a risk of wetland degradation or loss, which can have cascading effects on the lake's water
quality and biodiversity.
7. Climate Change Vulnerability: Climate change can exacerbate the risks associated with subsurface
sewage systems. Increased precipitation, ?ooding, and storm surges can overwhelm sewage systems,
Page 773 of 785

leading to malfunctions and the release of untreated sewage into the environment. This can have
detrimental effects on both land and lake habitats.
8. Public Health Concerns: Inadequate sewage treatment can pose risks to public health, especially if
pathogens and contaminants make their way into the lake. Swimming, ?shing, and other recreational
activities could be impacted, affecting both residents and visitors.
9. Long-Term Sustainability: While setback requirements aim to reduce immediate risks, the |ong—term
sustainability of subsurface sewage systems must be considered. As the population grows and land use
patterns change, the cumulative impact of multiple impact of multiple systems in the area could still lead
to environmental degradation over time.
Placing an RV campground with septic facilities near a quiet small lake can have signi?cant negative
impacts on the tranquility and overall ambience of the area. Here's how such a development could
potentially disrupt the peacefulness of the lake environment:
1. Noise and activity: RV campgrounds tend to attract a higher volume of visitors compared to
natural, undeveloped areas. Increased human activity, including loud conversations, vehicle
traf?c, generators, and recreational activities, can create a constant background noise that
contrasts with the serene and tranquil sounds of nature typically associated with a quiet lake.
2. Visual disturbance: RVs, tense and campground infrastructure can disrupt the visual harmony of
the lake and its surroundings. The natural beauty of the area could be marred by the presence of
structures, vehicles, and arti?cial lighting. These visual disruptions can detract from the peaceful
and calming experience that visitors seek in such tranquil environments.
3. Light pollution: RV campgrounds often require lighting for safety and convenience. However,
these arti?cial lighting can lead to light pollution, which not only affects the view of the night sky
but also can disrupt the natural nocturnal behaviors of wildlife and disturb the tranquil ambiance
that quiet lake environment should provide.
4. Increased traffic and congestion: The establishment of an RV campground could lead to
increased traf?c and congestion in the surrounding area. This not only affects the visual and
auditory aspects of the lake environment but also introduces potential safety concerns and
reduces the overall sense of solitude that many visitors seek.
5. Water and air pollution: septic systems used by the campground could pose a risk of nutrient
pollution and potential leaks, which may affect the lakes’ water quality and aquatic ecosystem.
Improperly maintained or failing septic systems could lead to unpleasant odors and
contamination of the surrounding area, further diminishing the tranquil atmosphere.
6. Wildlife disturbance: the increased human presence and activities associated with RV
campground can disrupt the natural behavior of wildlife that depend on the lake and its
surroundings. Nesting birds, for instance, could be driven away by noise and disturbance,
impacting the delicate ecological balance of the area.
7. Recreational pressure: an in?ux of visitors from the RV campground could lead to overuse of the
lake and its resources. Increased boating, ?shing, swimming, and other recreational activities can
place stress on the lakes ecosystem and diminish the sense of tranquility that comes from
experiencing a less frequented natural environment.
8. Loss of privacy: for nearby residents and property owners the presence of an RV campground
could compromise their sense of privacy and seclusion. Views of the lake and peaceful natural

Dear Mr Buitenwerf.
My family has owned property on Pickerel Lake in Hubbard County for over 50 years. My mom
and dad, Arvin and Mary Packer have been excellent stewards of their land having great respect
for the undeveloped lakeshore that they own and the crystal clear water. It is their and my
concern regarding the proposed variance for a drainfield setback on a proposed campground with
up to 40 some units that I am writing to voice my opposition.
I was kayaking with my wife just a few weeks ago on Pickerel and I commentedthat the lake has
been so clean and clear since the first time I swam in the lake as a kid some 50 years ago. My
own kids were swimming in the lake just yesterday. It is beyond my comprehension how
anyone would even propose a drainfield closer to the water than allowed. What would happen if
it were to fail? Would the lake be tainted for years? Who would be responsiblefor cleanup
costs.
Please do not risk this gem of a lake with this variance.
Sincerely, ,

My Family And I have a cabin on Pickerel Lake sense 1965 , we have heard of this camp ground trying to be built
on Pickerel Lake near us,
I would like to start out by saying that I am very much not in favor of this hole camp ground idea. I think the lake is to
small for this kind of boat traffic.
I also wanted the board to be aware of the Eagle nest in the trees at east end of this project. I do know there are some
rules about building close to them and would like that checked out.
I know this meeting is for septic concerns at this time for Application # 30—V—32 Parcel ID 1608007810 , the idea that
they are putting a mound system at the front of the building slte,which is on the lake side is bad enough, but trying to put
it closer to the like than normally allowed seems to me to be a bad idea , after reading the staff reports ,I have to agree
with them and would like to see it denied.

I am totally against this variance. First of all this is a quote: "Variances should be rare and for reasons of exceptional
circumstance.“ The burden of proof that a variance is warranted lies with the applicant, not the board, planning
commission, or staff.
People buy their properties with rules and regulations established before they purchase the property. Just because you
want to put a 47 spot RV park plus 10 campsites does not mean you should get tojust apply for a variance and be able to
put that large ofa septic system in.
I bought on this lake because ofthe up north feeling. I do not want this lake to have the feeling ofa city lake or
overpopulated.
Concern at this answer: under the staff report
(4. Will the issuance of the variance maintain the essential character of the locality
The proposed drain?eld site that will not meet the 150’ OHW setback will be at least 100’ from the ordinary high water
mark and surrounded by a mature Norway Pine plantation so it will not be visible from the lake, Holly Road, or nearby
properties.)
Just because something is not visible does not mean it will not change the essential character.
The septic location for the intended use will destroy the natural resource of the land. A septic system this large will have
drainage pipes routed to all 47 spots for RV use. These RV pads are probably going to be concrete. so an impervious
surface which will cause all water to drain into the lake. You start cementing to much ofyour ground. you disrupt the
natural ?ow of rain and where the run of goes.
RV‘s today have a lot of sewer usage. The new ones all have washers and dryers, dishwashers and l to 3 bathrooms, some
with jacuzzi tubs. Really they use much than a house.
Most RV’s today are made for the winter months.so this will not be a seasonal park.
Just because there aren't policies to protect this from happening now is no reason to not start now and make them an
example.
Thank You,
Theresa Zolninger

I, Michael Eichenauer, have been a resident on Pickerel Lake since 1972 and I have seen this lake
change from small boats to large pontoon/recreational boats operating on this small 340-acre lake. I
am opposed to the variance application of 30—V—23
on the southwest corner of Pickerel Lake. If
approved, it will bring much more boat traffic along with a larger chance of incoming invasive species.
Secondly, the public access road is small and mostly maintained by the south shore lake
association not by the DNRor township. There is little parking available and wouldn't
accommodate the volume of vehicles and trailers that would possibly use the launch.
Thirdly, there is an established eagle nest on the lake front of the property. Per my research, the
MN DNRguide states that you can only be between 330-600 feet away from the eagle nest. No
construction can occur within 330 feet unless the contractorhas permits to override this law.
The proposed variance would allow the developer to build directly on top of this nest zone which
is totally unacceptable.
Fourth, the section of lakeshore is all cattails, weeds and lily pads with a base of muck and mud. I
am sure this would not be ideal for those families looking to use the beach for swimming. If this
application would be approved, I could see a dramatic negative change to the flora and fauna in
and around our lake.
Lastly, within 5 miles from our lake there are at least a dozen RV camps (the larger
being...Vagabond Village, Breeze Campgrounds, Hoosier Beach Resort, Mantrap Lake
Campground, Sleeping Fawn Resort, Whippoorwill Resort and Pine Park Resort). This area does
not need more.
We are a second—generation family here on the lake and hope that the natural beauty and peace
of the lake will still be there for our children and grandchildren when they inherit our property in
the future.
Thank you for your time and attention,
Vlichael P. and Lisa M. Eichenauer

My name is Tim Olson and I am writing from my permanent address: 816 Fairview Ave
N, Saint Paul, MN 55164. I am a trustee of 17742 Happy Dr, Park Rapids, MN 56476.
which has endured in my view as my real home for all 30 years of my life and part
of my family tradition since 1968.
I am writing to voice support to the findings of the environmental staff; which

under part 2 could not support a variance to the 150' setback.
Of my environmental concerns for this project the setback is substantial. Given

the soil composition along pickerel and surrounding area I would be concerned
about filtration particularly; increased unnatural eutrophication, greater
chemical and waste leakage and drain field seepage to the lake.
I believe this septic system setback poses a high risk to altering the background
pH and natural chemical balance of the lake. In my view this variance and waste
treatment proposal has a negative recreational and environmental impact which
runs counter to the projects stated goals.
It is my hope that the Hubbard County Planning Commission agrees with these
environmental findings and moves to deny the variance as proposed.
Thank you for your consideration and time,

I was surprised and concerned to learn of the proposal for an RV park on the north end of Pickerel Lake.
My family and l are strongly against this proposal for a number of reasons.
We have been on this lake for 30+ years and one of the main reasons we decided to make this our
second home was because ofthe quiet, serene nature of this small gem of a lake. The addition of 47 RV
sites would drastically change the nature of this small lake, increasing boat traffic, jet skis and fishing
pressure. I can't fathom a development of this size on a lake as small as Pickerel.
Pickerel Lake has maintained a very natural shoreline with residents taking pride in the health of our
lakeshore and water quality. We are good stewards of this lake and are very concerned that this
development will change the lake we know and love.
Thank you for listening to the concerns of my family and me.
