SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson David Rusten called the Board of Adjustment to order on
Thursday, May 19, 2011, at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall.
Members present were Jim Pederson, Dick Peterson, alternate-Mary Kidwiler,
and Rusten. Jason Hoffelt, Matt Kurtenbach, and alternate Jere Heib were
absent. Also present were City Manager Jeff Weldon, City Engineer Jackie
Lanning, Community Development Director Mike Struck, and Planning and
Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson.
Item #3 – City Manager Jeff Weldon requested a review of the variances that
were approved at the May 5, 2011, meeting. He referenced a letter from City
Engineer Jackie Lanning and a modified site plan that had been provided for
the Board.
Lanning explained that the rear lot line was actually located in the bank
of the railroad bed. She also pointed out that a retaining wall existed at the rear
of the lot too. Both issues made it difficult to position the building close to the
rear lot line.
A modified proposal brought the building forward and shortened the
length. This design resulted in a five foot (5’) setback on the east, a seven foot
(7’) setback on the west and a 14.5 foot setback from the real lot line.
Rusten noted that the modified plan was still consistent with a design that
was favored by an adjoining property owner at the May 5, 2011, meeting.
The meeting was adjourned.
