SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson David Rusten called the Board of Adjustment meeting to order
on Thursday, July 7, 2011, at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall. Members
present were Jason Hoffelt, Dick Peterson, alternate-Jere Hieb, alternate Mary
Kidwiler, and Rusten. Matt Kurtenbach and Jim Pederson were absent. Also
present were Shane Clarembeau, Jack Larson, Community Development Director
Mike Struck, and Planning & Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson.
Item #3 – Shane Clarambeau, CEO of Brothers Pharmacy, stated that he wanted
to move the existing pylon sign closer to the front lot line so it could be seen easier
by motorists. The building blocked the view of the sign from the east, and the stop
lights obstructed the view from the west.
D. Peterson asked if the sign could be elevated. Hanson replied yes. D.
Peterson concurred that there were sight obstructions. Heib considered the
request very similar to a previous request along 6th Street. Kidwiler felt improving
the visibility would increase safety since motorists would take less time to read the
sign.
Item #4 – Larson noted that the width of his attached garage was 32 feet. He
constructed a 30’ x 30’ detached garage in his rear yard. He pointed out that the
small triangular area on the map was the only area in need of a variance.
Rusten asked Larson if he was aware that he would need a variance when
he applied for a building permit to build his garage. Larson did not recall if he did
or didn’t know.
D. Peterson had a concern with the request due to the amount of concrete
surfacing that was proposed in the front yard since it was 11 feet wider than
allowed by ordinance.
The meeting was adjourned.
