SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Dick Peterson called the Board of Adjustment to order on
Thursday, August 7, 2008 at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall. Members
present were Larry Klingbile, David Rusten, Jay Vanduch, a-Jim Pederson, and
Peterson. Matt Kurtenbach and a-Mike Keating were absent. Also present were Brian
Gatzke, Doug Odegaard, Chris Nelson, Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson, and others.
Item #3 – Brian Gatzke stated that his plans were to either repair or remove the
building. He noted that the building was used for storage.
J. Pederson asked what the specific plans were for the rear wall. Gatzke stated
that it was attached to the adjacent building now, but there was no common wall
agreement. He would likely detach it, and build a firewall.
Item #4 – Odegaard stated he had an option to build an accessory building in his
rear yard or add on to his existing garage. He proposed the garage since it had
electricity. Hanson explained that the separation rule between a house and a
garage did not exist when the lot was developed. Today, accessory buildings must
have the same setback that is required of the principal building if there is less than 10
feet of separation
Item #5 – D. Peterson asked for the zoning background on this subdivision. Hanson
responded that this area was developing when the front yard setback was changed
from 25 to 30 feet. Therefore, some houses were set at the 25 foot setback line.
Building in-line was still permitted by right, but this did not pertain to new accessory
buildings.
Vanduch noted that the petitioner’s house was two feet (2’) further back than
the proposed garage. Rusten remarked that the adjacent house to the east was built
25 feet from the front lot line.
Vanduch asked what the hardship was. Nelson replied that setting the garage
back would result in removal of a portion of the patio and reduce the rear yard area.
The meeting was adjourned.
