SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Dick Peterson called the Board of Adjustment to order on Thursday,
February 15, 2007 at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall. Members present were Larry
Klingbile, Matt Kurtenbach, Jay Vanduch, a-Jim Pederson, and D. Peterson. David Rusten and a-
Mike Keating were absent. Others present were Shawn Knapp, Zoning Administrator Dan
Hanson, and others.
Item #3 – Shawn Knapp, representing Gary Jensen, stated that the prior use of the building was
for motor vehicle repair. Hanson informed the Board that a motor vehicle repair operation was
permitted in the B-3 District prior to 1995. The zoning ordinance was amended in 1995 to allow
this use only as a special exception. In January, the building was destroyed by fire so only a
conforming use could be reestablished.
The Board generally agreed that the use was compatible to abutting uses.
Item #4 – Knapp stated that they wanted to reuse the existing slab from the former building. In
order to do that, they had to expand the length and width of the new building and install a new
perimeter foundation. D. Peterson noted that Jensen owned the land to the north of the B-3 zoned
lot. Kurtenbach felt the variance was appropriate since it would only impact the petitioner’s other
parcels.
The meeting was adjourned.
