This was the time set upon application for a public
hearing for a zoning variance for Ronald Waterland, 801 Glover, to construct a
deck on the front of his house with less than the required front-yard
setback. The Planning Commission took no
action as Waterland was not in attendance at the meeting.
Waterland advised that he did not attend the
Commission meeting because he was not notified of the date of said meeting. He wants to build a 6’ deck off the front of
his house due to safety concerns.
Green advised that she would request that this be tabled
& sent back to the Planning Commission so they can have a recommendation.
Jacobson advised that she would hate to hold this up
beings the side deck is already done.
Building Inspector
Green questioned if the council felt this request
qualified as a hardship.
Jacobson advised she felt it did because what was
currently in place is not functional and also because of the time it would take
to go back to the Planning Commission.
Motion by Patterson, second by Chaplin & carried
to approve said request.
This was the time set upon application for a public
hearing for a Use on Review for Heather Kreutz, 1407 Willard, to operate a home
daycare business at this location. The
Planning Commission approved this request contingent upon the state licensing
it. Motion by Chaplin, second by Green
& carried to approve said request.

Thad Olson was not present to address the letter he
received from the City. However,
Building Inspector Rovere advised that things have not changed since the letter
was sent. Also, Olson was not the only
person to receive such a letter; 6-7 other people received the same letter. Mike Strain had advised Rovere that he has
taken responsibility for the Dolan Creek area referred to in Olson’s
letter. No action was taken.
Mike Brandt appeared before the council to voice his
concerns with the possibility of traffic being diverted through the Allison
subdivision during the rally. He feels
this would be unsafe for bikers and would affect about 55 residences and 3
churches. The City shouldn’t allow
bikers to bypass the town and miss the vendors.
He is definitely opposed to opening
Mayor Zeigler advised that this was a
Zeigler also advised that he had concerns on the turn
lane coming off of the exit because the people in the lanes aren’t going to
know what they are doing. However, DOT has
said they would have someone there to monitor it so they can begin to merge the
traffic onto Junction if it is too confusing.
Police Chief
Jacobson advised that if it were opened and
publicized that it’s open, it could be a problem. When you get past the gate, it gets very
rough and could be very dangerous. She
has seen very few bikes on that road because of its deterioration.
Mayor Zeigler advised that these comments had been taken
seriously but he could not promise that
