SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson David Rusten called the Board of Adjustment meeting to
order on Thursday, May 17, 2012, at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall.
Members present were Jim Pederson, Dick Peterson, a-Mary Kidwiler, a-Seth

were Ben Aesoph, Les Tuma, Community Development Director Mike Struck,

disrepair. He wanted to remove the porch and remodel the inside of the house.

appropriate.
