SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Dick Peterson called the Board of Adjustment to order on
Thursday, May 3, 2007 at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall. Members
present were David Rusten, Larry Klingbile, a-Jim Pederson, and D. Peterson. Jay
Vanduch, Matt Kurtenbach, and alternate Mike Keating were absent. Others
present were Danelle Goens, Kay Patrick, Mark Washechek, Craig Osvog, City
Engineer Jackie Lanning, Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson, and others.
Item #5 – Goens stated that her garage burned from arson about one month
ago. She wanted to rebuild a larger garage in approximately the same
location.
D. Peterson felt that the adjacent properties would not be adversely
affected.
Item #6 – Kay Patrick, representing Asbrook Properties, stated that the parking
lot needed to be removed and replaced. The existing parking lot was paved to
the sidewalk. She felt the lot needed to be resurfaced the same way to allow for
snow removal. In addition, if the variance were denied, it would inhibit access to
the parking stalls.
Mark Washechek, a neighbor, was not opposed but noted that any
increase in surfacing contributed to flooding in the area. Craig Osvog, an
adjacent property owner, remarked that several properties in the area had
landscape strips. He felt that snow could be trucked out or, if there wasn’t
sufficient parking for the apartment, the owner could reduce the number of
units.
J. Pederson asked if vehicles backed over the sidewalk. Patrick replied no
because there was sufficient back-up space with the existing lot.
Hanson stated that the distance of 53 feet shown on the plan was more
room than was needed for a parking stall and driving aisle. He illustrated that a
stall length at 20 feet and a driving aisle width of 24 feet was an acceptable
parking lot design. This left several feet on the west side of the sidewalk that
could be landscaped.
J. Pederson felt the required 20 foot setback would impact the property
too much. Rusten favored a smaller landscape strip that would separate the
sidewalk from the parking lot.
The meeting was adjourned.
