"and the beat goes on",,,
douglas county inspectors,,,
another example of more restrictions and inspectors to come..
in douglas county before you can do home improvements like add a deck you have to have inspectors out to test your sewer system and if not up to the newest requirements it has to be replaced..
before you put the new steps or handrail on your dream home you will have to put in a new sewer system or what ever else they mandate.
that sewer system that use to cost us less than a thousand dollars now costs almost ten thousand. material and labor are about the same but permits ,engineering and inspections cost 7 or 8 thousand.
and to make this even more laughible,,, the lake home owners who paid the big bucks on lake miltona and put in these new systems now get to pay again as the commisioners are now planning on putting sewer lines around the lake.

keeping up with the californiens,,,
everyone,, i am so glad to see that you have become like the californians.. it took you long enough. way back in the 60,s and 70s, cal began the landuse restrictions that it has taken 40ty years to reach the NORTHWOODs of minnesota.
the saying "think outside the box"implies trying new approaches,,, ottertail county commisioners are still wanting to get in the box and be like the californians.
just to give you the heads up on what else to expect in the coming years.
there are NOW 26 separate inspections by the county inspectors for a normal new home construction. those prividged enough to be able to build,, find these permits cost them 8 to 12 thousand dollars. this money goes to pay the many new inspectors and staff(cars too) to enforce these laws.
(creating more good government paying jobs).
....
i use to speak with pride of how in ottertail county they did not have building permits.
i though it turned out pretty nice...
but then,,,, "trouble in paradise".
BUT TAKING AWAY MANS ABILITIES TO BETTER HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY ON HIS OWN LAND IS A REAL SIN.
repeal this and stop taking away OUR RITES to OUR LAND!
my tent is 12 by 12,,, they want to come out and measure this and tell me to pack it up or go to jail... thats a crime..
and if my son wants to live in my rv parked next to my cabin for the summer,,,that is my business and not the county commisioners.

hey all, here is another.. when gas gets near 4 dollars a gallon and you can no longer leave the rv parked at the lake lot you bought,, just think of the extra gas required to drive that big rig back and forth.. more gas used,,, high prices..
and then all those mega cabins built as great investment properties.. they need heat year round and yet get used only a few months.. we are told to turn the heat down to conserve and to drive less and to turn the lights off when not in use but yet they build homes that no one lives is and then waste energy and drive land and home prices up and cause a need to enact regulations to prevent polution and yet i see that rich guy in his mega cabin burning his leaves on the beach and causing even more pollution.
disgusted with the commissioners
it is time for a good house cleaning in fergus.
