VII. ACTION ITEMS
A. Variance to the maximum number and area of accessor y structures to allow for
construction of a 42 x 88 ft. accessory structure t o be located at 1288 Main St.
Associate Planner, Paul Bengtson, presented the sta ff report. Staff recommended denial
of the variance request based on the findings of fa ct.
Staff noted that fabric structures are allowed in t he city within the guidelines of accessory
structures. Staff has historically treated tempora ry structures the same as permanent
structures.
Applicant Sandy Nordstrom and Ken Schienbein, 1288 Main Street, were available to
address the board. Mr. Schienbein described the ma terials of the proposed structure.
Board members questioned whether it would be legal for the city to approve the variance
if the findings of fact are not met.
The board pointed out that the issue of leased land poses a unique situation for this
request. Any result would set a precedent for futu re adjacent leased property.
Staff explained that a variance is recorded with th e property and not the owner.
Ms. Nordstrom explained that one existing concrete building on her site is rented out for
storage and the other building is used for horse st alls. She pointed out that the 17 acre
site they lease is landlocked and not accessible by vehicles.
Mr. Nelson made a MOTION to recommend approval of a variance to the maximum
number and area of accessory structures to allow fo r construction of a 42 x 88 ft.
accessory structure to be located at 1288 Main St.
Motion failed for lack of a second.
Mr. Pogalz made a MOTION to recommend denial of a v ariance to the maximum
number and area of accessory structures to allow fo r construction of a 42 x 88 ft.
accessory structure to be located at 1288 Main St. Motion was supported by Mr. Hyden.
Motion passed 5-1. (Nelson)
