Project Description

Please describe your proposed project:
We are proposing to build a 25 x 36 slab on grade cabin with an attached 8 x 25 porch and a 5 x 25 deck on the upper level. This new structure will fully meet all codes and replaces the 24 x 24 1920s cabin which has been in my family since 1930 and is not up to present day standards.  For the first time in all these years, our new cabin will have HVAC, running water, bathroom and kitchen. This year round cabin has been a long time coming and we proudly embrace our history with the area where my Grandfather, my mother and now my grandchildren enjoy the beauty and lifestyle. Our new cabin will be built on Lot 26 in the approximate location as the old structure. Although we preferred not to remove large pines and other trees, in order to meet the setback requirement we have chosen to shift the cabin footprint closer to 190th Place. This 190th Place setback takes into consideration that Cady property includes that road and some land on the opposite side on the steep hill. Our builder Ben Horton has staked the site to meet requirements. He has called Jody Grund and requested to be there for a site visit. Call him at 218-390-1593. He has left Jody a message. 
It appears that in order to meet the 75 ft setback from the shoreline (lagoon) by shifting the new cabin toward the road, we will need to take out an additional 100-year-old pine. During the site visit please see if we can move the cabin location any further toward the shoreline so that the tree can be saved. 
Thank you for your consideration.
