SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Dick Peterson called the Board of Adjustment to order on
Thursday, November 20, 2008 at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall. Voting
members present were Larry Klingbile, David Rusten, alternate Jim Pederson,
alternate-Mike Keating, and Peterson. Jay Vanduch was also present. Matt
Kurtenbach was absent. Also present were Padu and Kristie Krishnan, Justin Skogen,
Dusten Hendrichson, City Planner Dan Hanson and others.
Item #3 – Padu Krishnan stated that his family had run out of living space. The
proposed addition would include bedrooms on the second floor over a new and
larger garage. Kristie Krishnan remarked that the house had some water problems in
the basement so they wanted to relocate the bedrooms. She added that their corner
lot limited their options for expansion.
Padu Krishnan pointed out that a relocation of the driveway from 17th Avenue
South to Terrace Drive would improve safety in the neighborhood. Kristie Krishnan
noted that a house across the street had a “bump out” garage design that was
similar to their proposal.
Klingbile asked for the total size of the addition. Krishnan replied 26’ x 41’. D.
Peterson felt the proposed encroachment did not adversely impact the
neighborhood.
Item #4 – Justin Skogen of Forest Holdings, LLC stated that they wanted to maintain a
driving lane and a row of parking stalls on the east side of the building so the building
would need to be shifted to the west. He added that only a portion of the west side
would encroach into the setback.
Rusten asked if the restaurant was a standard size model or custom design.
Skogen replied standard.
Hanson explained the lot area requirements for lots abutting a frontage road.
Skogen stated he was in the process of acquiring more land to reach the 30,000
square foot minimum.
Item #5 – Dusten Hendrichson of Dakota Roofing stated the deck was already built.
He originally had the deck on the rear of the house but changed his mind later. He
3

noted that the deck was not shown on the building plans for the house, and he
wasn’t aware that he needed a permit.
D. Peterson and Klingbile considered the deck location in the front yard to be
unusual compared to other decks in the area. Klingbile noted that other variances
had been granted for decks, but none for encroachment into a front yard.
The meeting was adjourned.
