SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Dick Peterson called the Board of Adjustment to order on
Thursday, March 20, 2008 at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall. Voting
members present were David Rusten, Larry Klingbile, Jay Vanduch, a-Jim Pederson,
and D. Peterson. Matt Kurtenbach and a-Mike Keating were absent. Also present
were Robert Krupa, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, City Planner Dan Hanson and
others.
Item #3 – Bob Krupa, of RDG Planning and Design represented the First United
Methodist Church. He stated that the master plan involved a community life center
phase between the alley and 6th Street. The project would not add activities to the
site but merely provide more space for what the church already did. He added that
the gymnasium would be difficult to fit on the lot without a variance.
Vanduch asked how a hardship came into play with the request. Krupa
responded that parking on the site would be substantially reduced without a
variance. D. Peterson asked if the location of the proposed building was in-line with
the setback of the existing church. Krupa replied yes and added that the design
would promote a “campus” like setting. D. Peterson inquired about the adjacent
parking lot. Hanson responded that the lot was established a few years ago by
Brookings County. The lot is used by the First United Methodist Church, the
Presbyterian Church, and others on Sundays and evenings.
The meeting was adjourned.
