\"This year, I'm going to take advantage again by doing some ash tree removal down in Memorial Park,\" Schroeder said. \"I'm going to remove 12 down there, and we're going to put back 15 trees back in.\" He described the work as part of the city's proactive plan for emerald ash borer mitigation.

Schroeder said the city has applied for the community forestry grant annually. He told commissioners the grant can be used for multiple forestry-related items (inventory, software, removal, replacement) but he opted to use it for tree replacement this year because of the short application timeline. He said the city’s total cost would be $2,450 under a 50% match and stated the program's maximum allotment is $5,000.

The commission approved the grant application and authorized Schroeder to sign.

The commission also approved a streetscape change order to add an irrigation pump for features installed on Dakota Avenue; Bennett said the pump \"is going to be in the monument by post office. It'll be out of sight.\" A separate change order for lift-station improvements submitted by TLC Olsen Construction was approved for $5,745 to complete concrete work.

Progress payments were approved: Pay Application No. 12 from BX Veil Construction for the Dakota Avenue improvements and Pay Application No. 15 from Northstar (doing business as Century Crane) for the Heron transfer station.

City planning staff presented both requests to the board. \"We recommended approval,\" Barry Cranston, city planning staff, said while explaining the Hanson request and the Rivera application. Cranston said the Hanson variance was sought because of underground utilities on the west side of the lot and that the proposed building would align with adjacent properties. For the Rivera request, Cranston said tattoo parlors are not permitted in the city's business zoning without a variance and that no opposition had been received.

Both requests were recommended by the planning staff, the building inspector and the hearing examiner. Cranston said the building inspector initially recommended denial for the Hanson request but withdrew that opposition after learning the new structure would align with the existing building to the north.

Property owner Cody Hanson spoke briefly at the hearing. \"Nope. That sounds very good. Okay,\" Hanson said when given the chance to add to the presentation. Hanson’s request would allow a new commercial building to be built up to the lot line on the east side of the property where the zoning code requires a 20-foot yard setback.

On the Rivera application, Cranston said the city received no opposition and that staff recommended approval.

Both motions were approved by roll call. The board recorded unanimous affirmative votes on each item.

Planning staff noted one condition on the Hanson approval: no overhangs into the public right-of-way; the approved structure must maintain at least one foot clearance where it abuts the right-of-way.

The hearing concluded with the board returning to the city commission for the remainder of the agenda.","The Huron Board of Adjustments approved a setback variance for a commercial building at 79 Lincoln Ave SW and a use variance to allow a tattoo and piercing business at 1506 Dakota Ave S.
