In Re the Excavation of Erickson Lake Ex Rel. Lahman · 1986 2 citations

Relators incorrectly analyze the permit law. Minn. Stat. § 105.45 (1984), which governs issuance of permits, states that permits shall be granted if the commissioner determines “the plans of the applicant are reasonable, practical, and will adequately protect public safety and promote the public welfare.” The state does not have the burden of proving the public will be harmed by relator’s action. Minn. Stat. § 105.45 specifically states “the applicant has the burden of proving that the proposed project is reasonable, practical, and will adequately protect public safety and promote the public welfare.” Although re-lators proved their activities have improved the lake, they did not alleviate concerns that a marina might be built or that riparian rights would be extended to nonriparian land owners. See Minn. Rules § 6115.0200, subp. 3B (1985). Given the commissioner’s expertise in the area, we will not say the commissioner erred in determining relator’s plan did not adequately protect the public welfare.
