SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson David Rusten called the Board of Adjustment to order on
Thursday, May 20, 2010, at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall. Voting
members present were Larry Klingbile, Matt Kurtenbach, Dick Peterson, Jay
Vanduch, a- Jim Pederson, and Rusten. Alternate Jason Hoffelt was also absent.
Matt Kurtenbach was absent. Others present were Jack Petersen, Ron Koerner,
Community Development Director Mike Struck, and Planning and Zoning
Administrator Dan Hanson.
Item #3 – Jack Petersen stated that he removed an existing fence that was in
the same location because it was in disrepair. The adjacent neighbor, Duane
Sander, worked with him to build the new fence that was shown in the photos.
J. Pederson asked if the fence height was the same. Jack Peterson was
not sure. He added that he had reconstructed without knowledge of the current
regulations. D. Peterson commented that the lower eight foot long section
could be removed. Rusten noted that the existing curb for the parking lot would
deter a motorist from “cutting the corner”. Vanduch felt the sight lines were
maintained with the current proposal.
Jack Peterson remarked that his business was the only one on the block so
they wanted to create a separation from the residential uses.
Item #4 – Ron Koerner stated he built his house a of couple years ago. The lot
sloped in the rear, and drainage between his house and his neighbors was an
issue. In order to meet the regulations, he would have to build steps from his
patio doors down to the deck.
Rusten noted that the deck height varied due to the slope of the yard.
The elevations indicated 46 inches in the southeast corner and 36 inches in the
northeast corner. J. Pederson commented that the rear yard could be filled and
a retaining wall installed in order to conform to the regulations. Koerner
responded that it would be more difficult to manage the drainage if a wall were
built.
The meeting was adjourned.
