SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson David Rusten called the Board of Adjustment to order on
Thursday, September 16, 2010, at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall.
Members present were Larry Klingbile, Dick Peterson, a-Jim Pederson, a-Jason
Hoffelt, and Rusten. Matt Kurtenbach was also present. Jay Vanduch was
absent. Also present were Daren McKeever, Larry Sax, Joel Edman, Dave
Bertelson, Woody Franklin, Community Development Director Mike Struck,
Planning and Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson and others.
Item #3 – Daren McKeever, representing McKeever, Inc., stated that the lot was
200 feet deep by 500 feet long. The building faces south so the lot depth was
shallow. The additional driveway would allow a semi-trailer to more easily access
a proposed building.
J. Pederson asked how the driveway would be used. McKeever replied it
would be an entrance for trucks that would turn west into the lot and then back
up to loading docks. The Board did not feel future access onto 32nd Avenue
South was necessary if a third access drive was approved.
Item #4 – Sax stated he adjusted the size of his project down to a 1’9” variance.
There would be over 10 feet of separation between his proposed garage and
the adjacent house.
J. Pederson noted that other properties had received similar variances in
the past in the neighborhood. D. Peterson received a call from a neighbor
supporting the variance request.
Item #5 – Joel Edman of Edman Enterprises stated he wanted to build a row of
storage garages along the back side of his lot. He currently had a concrete pad
that extended at least 35 feet behind the car wash.
Dave Bertelson of Mills Construction was not opposed to the variance but
was concerned about additional drainage off the lot. He felt maintaining the 20
foot setback would allow for some stormwater detention on-site. Woody
Franklin, owner of the property to the east, felt the building would create clutter
and be detrimental to his property’s value.

J. Pederson asked what the distance was between the car wash and the
proposed building. Edman replied about 58 feet. J. Pederson asked if less space
could work. Edman was unsure. Klingbile asked if the rear 10 feet would be
paved. Edman answered no. Klingbile asked if the south portion that was 20 feet
wide could be eliminated and the north portion moved west. Edman thought it
was possible, but the access for both buildings would be tighter. Kurtenbach felt
the project could be built without a variance.
The meeting was adjourned.
