SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Dick Peterson called the Board of Adjustment to order on
Thursday, September 6, 2007 at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall.
Members present were Larry Klingbile, David Rusten, a-Mike Keating, a-Jim
Pederson, and D. Peterson. Matt Kurtenbach and Jay Vanduch were absent.
Also present were Jen Petersen, Joe Fishbaugher, Stephen Van Buren City
Manager Dennis Falken, Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson, and others.
Item #3 – Jen Petersen stated she wanted to utilize the entire 3,000 square feet in
the building. Rusten asked if she had an alternate plan. Peterson responded that
there was not any adjacent land available for purchase.
Jim Pederson asked how many employees worked at the business. Jen
Petersen replied 10, but not all worked at the same time. Jim Pederson asked
now many customers could be served at one time. Peterson replied 10.
Dick Peterson asked if parking spaces could be established in the loading
zone. Hanson replied yes, but only one (1) space would count as tandem
parking for a commercial enterprise. Keating was concerned about customer
“spill-over” onto the public street. Hanson noted that parking can be established
off-site for a business if there is a cross-easement agreement in place and the
granting business has extra parking spaces to lease out.
Item #4 – Fishbaugher stated he was unaware that building a deck required a
permit. He added that he had replaced an existing deck.
Stephen VanBuren, a neighbor, supported the request. He felt the new
deck was better constructed and was more appealing. VanBuren felt it was an
asset to the Fishbaugher property.
Klingbile noted that the actual encroachment involved 2.2 feet and other
similar variances for decks were granted in the past.
The meeting was adjourned.
