SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson David Rusten called the Board of Adjustment meeting to
order on Thursday, June 16, 2011, at 5:00 PM in the Community Room at City
Hall. Voting members present were Jim Pederson, Dick Peterson, Jason Hoffelt,
alternate-Jere Hieb, and Rusten. Matt Kurtenbach and alternate Mary Kidwiler
were absent. Also present were Sharon and Stuart Webster, Paul Kruse,
Community Development Director Mike Struck, and Planning & Zoning
Administrator Dan Hanson.
Item #3 – Stuart Webster, owner of the property, stated that a boulevard tree
had been damaged in a storm and had fallen against his pylon sign and
destroyed it. He pointed out that his office building and the adjacent office
building were very close to the front lot line which obscured the sign. He felt
visibility was very important. A replacement sign would actually be set back one
foot (1’) further than the original sign due to a change in design.
D. Peterson noted that the variance request was not self-created, and the
sign was only replacing an existing sign. He supported the variance. J. Pederson
concurred with D. Peterson since the sign had been in this location for many
years.
The meeting was adjourned.
