Members present were Larry Klingbile, Matt Kurtenbach, alternates - Mike Keating and Jim Pederson, and D. Peterson. David Rusten and Jay Vanduch were absent. Also present were Brian Gatzke, Al Kuechenmeister, and Planning and Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson. Item #3 – Gatzke presented the plan of the existing house and lot. The house was very close to the front lot lines. He also showed photos of extensive damage to the house due to broken water lines. He proposed to demolish the house and build a new two- family house on the lot. The lot would accommodate seven (7) vehicles, and the building would meet all setback requirements. Merle Gulbranson, a neighbor, opposed the request. He felt the owner knew the lot could only accommodate a single-family home when he bought it so it should stay that way. He also felt that there was too much on-street parking in the neighborhood now. Kurtenbach noted that the request met all the other ordinance requirements regarding setbacks and on-premise parking. Gatzke commented that vehicles that parked on the street were from other properties that had little to no on-premise parking. J. Pederson asked how many bedrooms would be in each unit. Gatzke replied three (3). D. Peterson remarked that parking in the neighborhood was the major issue but felt the proposed plan would have a minimal impact on the area. Kurtenbach noted that other properties in the neighborhood contained two-family dwellings. Gatzke added that a privacy fence would be installed between the parking area and adjacent properties. Item #4 – Al Kuechenmeister was present to request a reconsideration of the vote to deny his variance request at the previous meeting on December 18, 2008. No action was taken by the Board. The meeting was adjourned. 3 ______________________ __________________________ Dan Hanson, Secretary Dick Peterson, Chairperson Planning & Zoning Administrator
