SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson David Rusten called the Board of Adjustment to order on
Thursday, May 5, 2011 at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall. Members
present were Jason Hoffelt, Matt Kurtenbach, Jim Pederson, Dick Peterson, and
Rusten. Alternate members a-Jere Heib, and Mary Kidwiler were also present.
Also present were Jesse Ayala, Sarantis Theodosopoulos, City Manager Jeff
Weldon, and Community Development Director Mike Struck.
Item #3 – Ayala stated he wanted to build a 12’ x 10’ deck that would extend
into the rear yard setback. The homes in this addition are ICAP projects, and the
housing packages are limited. D. Peterson stated that the ICAP program limited
the types of house packages available. The buildable area of the lot is unique
compared to the other lots in this addition. Kurtenbach felt the irregular shaped
lot was due to the drainage area and was not customary to other properties in
the area.
Item #4 -City Manager Jeff Weldon stated that the City is planning to construct
a multi-bay garage for municipal vehicles and an employee parking lot. The
irregular shaped lot limited the use of the parcel.
Sarantis Theodosopoulos, an adjacent property owner, opposed the
request and felt the side yard variances requested were too excessive.
The Board received a letter from another adjacent property owner, Craig
Kreyger. Kreyger opposed the position of the building. He felt the building could
be better positioned along the rear property line.
The meeting was adjourned.
