FLINT â An encroachment variance was the best option that Steuben Lakes Regional Waste District could come up with for a Little Otter Lake property owner. Superintendent Bryan Klein allowed property owner Theresa Steele to run her line from her grinder pump to the road on Steeleâs property at Lane 150 Little Otter Lake in rural Fremont. Steeleâs request was to have the line run under her deck, which is on blocks, to the road. âHer property is 70 to 80% wetlands,â Klein said during a meeting of the SLRWD Board of Trustees on Wednesday. âItâs difficult to really do anything here.â
