SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Dick Peterson called the Board of Adjustment to order
on Thursday, December 6, 2007 at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City
Hall. Members present were Matt Kurtenbach, David Rusten, Larry
Klingbile, Matt Kurtenbach, a-Jim Pederson, and Peterson. Jay Vanduch
and a-Mike Keating were absent. Also present were Roger DeGroot, Les
Rowland, George Mollner, and Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson.
Item #3 – Roger DeGroot, Superintendent of the Brookings School District,
stated that the outdoor track would be expanded with more running
lanes. The design left room in the southwest corner of the oval for a
storage building.
J. Pederson inquired if there were no other place to locate the
building. Less Rowland, of Banners, replied that the building needed to be
close to the start area of the track. DeGroot added that placing the
building inside the track oval would obstruct the view of runners on the
track. Locating the building to the south would interfere with the ball field.
Rusten asked if the east side could be used. DeGroot responded that
another storage building was planned for that area.
J. Pederson had several concerns with the proximity of the building
to the sidewalk such as appearance, possible graffiti attractant, and snow
removal. Klingbile was concerned with access from Medary Avenue to a
building this close to the right-of-way.
Kurtenbach felt the project was unusual and that the ratio of
buildings to land area was very low. He favored a modification to the
proposal to create more distance from the sidewalk.
Item #4 – Mollner stated the house was placed at the minimum front yard
setback. He added that the deck had been reduced from 10’ x 10’ to
8’ x 8’.
Kurtenbach and J. Pederson were concerned about the compact
design of the subdivision. Klingbile noted that there was some irregularity
with the lot since the rear lot line was angled.
The meeting was adjourned.
