Planning staff said the house will be moved from 3280 Newell Street and that because it is a relocated structure the layout options are constrained; staff recommended approval because the home will match neighborhood character and because meeting the long-dimension setback would make the proposed move infeasible. Staff reported two calls in favor of the request and no recorded opposition.
Jared Hottle of EIC Enterprises said he is under a purchase agreement for the lot and expects to close in December; he told the board the house includes an attached garage that will likely be transported in two pieces and reassembled on site. Eric Schroeder of the City of Waterloo explained the city currently owns the Newell Street property and that a development agreement would allow the applicant to move the house so the city would not have to demolish it. City Engineer Jamie Knudson reminded the applicant to obtain necessary permits, bonds and route approvals for moving the structure and to coordinate with utilities, police and fire.
A board member moved to approve the setback variance; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Waterloo Board of Adjustment Meeting - Tuesday, September 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Board of Adjustment approved a variance allowing a house moved from Newell Street to be placed 17 feet from Long Hill Avenue (three feet closer than required) at a lot adjacent to 632 Campbell Avenue.","taxTitle","Waterloo, Black Hawk County, Iowa","taxId",3694,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5976026,"Board denies Masjid Al Noor request to extend temporary parking and gravel-turnaround variances",804,1513000,2317000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5822491-a61fd9796acab5e6f6d016e73976edc1&start=1513&end=2317","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5822491-a61fd9796acab5e6f6d016e73976edc1/thumbnail_1513000.jpg","/articles/5976026/Waterloo/Black-Hawk-County/Iowa/Board-denies-Masjid-Al-Noor-request-to-extend-temporary-parking-and-gravel-turnaround-variances","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5976026-af33d95b68690bc7c86b829182995718/orig.mp4?Expires=1775383353&Signature=JPSEu42oly5HU317MrsaZb9VSsS7JxWjqHXNWFtoR0pjN8yvVAAauO~RP5SzvwG8bH8YLh40CVriVIqJKmngc9eQvPqXCyDzsYesg-le-zw6jWAHBiT7x2fbZBCr84763dEKDJY3-wFLfsN2~6DYYx5rqh7mwulsScByBzjOR3jm2iCbjbjGXp4ipAGzf9FFf-AcJo5gWi9XPM1Skcs4wDwxpbN3cmr412oeTyzzvwoveU97nP5tMiuTNlm2HeVSR~PXrX8ZNTnu98F7pVrEKKmGMQezHIUkAdyJ1MiHYjS2KO1UcJPKb-cydjol1wBcu8qGDenu8gbli-9Czh95RA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Adjustment on Sept. 23 denied a request by Masjid Al Noor (Waterloo Cedar Falls Islamic Center) to extend temporary variances that would allow a parking lot with 65 spaces — 25 fewer than the 90 required — and permit gravel in a truck-turnaround area at 2110 Sager Avenue.
Planning staff told the board the site previously had temporary variances and that the board granted a temporary variance on Jan. 28, 2025, that expires Sept. 30, 2025. Staff said the applicants have met repeatedly with planning and engineering staff and are fundraising to complete a hard-surfacing project; staff recommended a one-year extension on the condition that gravel areas be removed within six months. Planning staff also reported the applicants submitted a construction quote of roughly $111,000 and have raised about $10,000 (less than 10% of the quoted cost). The staff report noted two phone calls opposing the request.
Board members — including City Council member Dave Boesen (appearing online) and City Engineer Jamie Knudson, who spoke during the discussion — expressed concern that the group had years to complete the work (the transcript references an initial temporary approval dating to 2011) and that the fundraising progress and timeline were not sufficient to justify another extension. One board member said, “Raising a $100,000 in a matter of months seems not feasible.” After discussion a board member moved to deny both requests (parking-count variance and hard-surfacing/turnaround gravel variance), the motion was seconded and the board voted to deny the requests by voice vote.
The denial restores enforcement of the underlying parking and surfacing requirements; planning staff noted denial could lead to citations if the property remains nonconforming and the applicant does not complete the required hard surfacing.","Board of Adjustment denied a request by Masjid Al Noor/Waterloo Cedar Falls Islamic Center for a temporary extension of variances at 2110 Sager Avenue that would allow 65 parking spaces and gravel turnaround space; board cited long delay in completing hard surfacing and limited fundraising progress.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5976031,"Board backs 120-square-foot monument sign with digital panels at Kimball Avenue property",973,537000,1510000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5822491-a61fd9796acab5e6f6d016e73976edc1&start=537&end=1510","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5822491-a61fd9796acab5e6f6d016e73976edc1/thumbnail_537000.jpg","/articles/5976031/Waterloo/Black-Hawk-County/Iowa/Board-backs-120-square-foot-monument-sign-with-digital-panels-at-Kimball-Avenue-property","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5976031-e10a024b9a7666d296dbfe0ccbf9c1be/orig.mp4?Expires=1775383354&Signature=IOUjuVVFUmXcfFA7xniU3BzzRwZ360W6LayDSXlcMan9rviv8eXc02mICTcQkxAzu3WdHMiAnu6BWuD60~aFhDHta1VCBYvd38fEl1Htx4zR2FnglB8KRVQxzKrofT67ue5sXGHNK2ryPtJoTN5d7tK4D8Yit05lkRHDjaLQsExH6lhpwo1-ElIsNnpy-qp7wWvtnmiA34LOabzjcZQOKheakIOlewK34C0uM2p2yEd5y2zxbKz3quv6~sLY0a8jZPIM4ZYgm19S0BFctquC4~pxtAND4bTNfrml6VMS9cz3dYs9RrBoCj73Zci77rVaPX4rPZYXZ9FSflnqh-ZGFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waterloo Board of Adjustment voted Sept. 23 to recommend approval of a variance allowing a 120-square-foot monument sign with two digital message boards at 3430 and 3434 Kimball Avenue in an R-4 Multiple Residence District. Staff said the monument sign will be V-shaped with LED panels on both sides and would be placed near the northeast corner of the lot.
Planning staff explained the R-4 sign rules limit freestanding monument signage by street frontage (one square foot per five feet of frontage), and that with about 110 feet of frontage the property is currently limited to 22 square feet of sign area. Staff said existing language in the ordinance treats several sign types under a single 64-square-foot cap and that the department is preparing amendments to clarify allowable signage in R-3 and R-4 districts, but that amendment work has no firm timeline.
Michael Southall, owner of the property at 3434 Kimball Avenue, told the board he has discussed the sign with the dentist who currently leases the front building and said he can reserve part of the LED display to keep that business name visible. Southall said the monument structure will be purchased from a vendor in Jacksonville, Florida, and that he will secure a local contractor and sign permit for LED installation before construction. Planning staff recommended approval on grounds that the lot sits along a major road and is flanked by other businesses; the board’s recommendation includes a condition that the existing sign be removed within six months of the new sign’s completion.
Board members asked about sight lines and whether approving a variance now would be premature while staff considers ordinance changes; planning staff said there were no line-of-sight concerns from the proposed location and that waiting for ordinance amendments could take many months. The board moved, seconded and approved the recommendation by voice vote.","The Board of Adjustment recommended approval of a variance to allow a 120-square-foot V-shaped monument sign with two LED message boards at 3430–3434 Kimball Avenue, with the condition that the existing sign be removed within six months of the new sign’s completion.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5976036,"Board approves variance for Habitat to add 20x24 garage at 402 Allen Street",387,145000,532000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5822491-a61fd9796acab5e6f6d016e73976edc1&start=145&end=532","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5822491-a61fd9796acab5e6f6d016e73976edc1/thumbnail_145000.jpg","/articles/5976036/Waterloo/Black-Hawk-County/Iowa/Board-approves-variance-for-Habitat-to-add-20x24-garage-at-402-Allen-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5976036-5b05e9294d3c916bfda3bc1c7c529b0f/orig.mp4?Expires=1775383354&Signature=Cry69gkPUR3iQXaeUom74BWjd0SduSYAtJ87feCEc-srNGDTR2VuM~zb-wS3Sji4Hcdyi7MCxScZbYaiRbkp2vnpU8Fqv-2qkrum1WiZtUuZQfHOvHCU8nj13Kddt3BzBGQVDhyc~KS4l3J9Ds-gPpA7U8IJ3PgW4zYzBhrdNGM8oXPu~y~KdV7AIWP4dsRNzpnVbI4eBELNrdv5bVtNZBI5NlBmD44c~pUVKxRgpJ~hVw~ne92GjQ~KGeeGr-WI3AT9qVWCBHTe4UUPiB9uFBG23CoExrvTdXrmUza5RsCUJxXx9qDC4jnaMlWdHWxADnfhxFe6-IOIWWf3f5Jkxw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board of Adjustment Vice Chair John Beckman and a majority of members approved a variance Sept. 23 allowing Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity to construct a 20-foot by 24-foot detached garage at 402 Allen Street that will increase lot coverage above current zoning limits. The variance authorizes roughly 480 square feet of rear-yard coverage and raises total lot coverage to about 1,943 square feet (approximately 39 percent), above the 35 percent (1,750 square feet) maximum and above the 30 percent rear-yard maximum (450 square feet).
Staff told the board the property is in the C-1 Neighborhood Commercial District and has been zoned C-1 since 1969. Planning staff reported the lot currently has about 1,463 square feet of coverage, leaving roughly 287 square feet before the 35 percent limit; adding a 480-square-foot garage would put the total at about 1,943 square feet, exceeding the 35 percent maximum by about 193 square feet and the 30 percent rear-yard maximum by about 30 square feet. Staff recommended approval, saying the proposed garage would not be out of character for the neighborhood and that no public opposition had been received.
Andy Conger, construction director for Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity, said the organization prefers to preserve trees where possible and that a two-car, 20-by-24-foot garage would be “more appealing to prospective buyers” than a smaller 14-by-24 option. There were no speakers at the meeting who opposed the request. A board member moved to approve the variance, the motion was seconded, and the board voted in favor by voice vote.
The board’s approval was limited to the variances as presented; no additional conditions were recorded in the meeting minutes. The applicant will need to follow the city’s permitting processes for any work authorized by the variance.","The Waterloo Board of Adjustment approved a variance allowing Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity to build a 20-by-24-foot detached garage at 402 Allen Street, increasing lot coverage above the zoning limits.","actionData","errors"]
