The Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners approved lake property projects near Perham, Pelican Rapids, rural Battle Lake and other areas across the county last week.
The county board followed recommendations of the county planning commission, which held its meeting on April 11.
Approved was a West McDonald Lake project requested by Stacey and Amy Hoiberg regarding altering of topography to accommodate a small walkout entry to a basement. As a condition to the approval, the owners must have a Minnesota-licensed sewage system designer identify an alternative onsite drain field.
