The Wabasha County Board of Adjustment on Feb. 8 conditionally approved a variance request from property owners James and Susan Smith to expand a nonconforming structure with a 15-foot by 42-foot, two-story above-grade addition.
The motion to grant the variance was made by board member Patrick Judge and seconded by board member Dave Windhorst; the minutes record that the motion "carried." The board's chair, Jon Beckman, had called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. At the time of the vote, members Tim Janikowski, Patrick Judge and Dave Windhorst were present.
The variance was granted under the authority cited in the minutes as Chapter 394.36, Subd. 4, Minn. Stats. The board attached three conditions to the approval: the variance applies only to the 15'x42' two-story addition as described; the project must be undertaken only in accordance with the plans and specifications submitted with the application or as outlined in the conditions; and the addition and property must comply with all other requirements of the Wabasha County Zoning Ordinance. The minutes further state that a Building/Land Use Permit must be obtained from Wabasha County before construction may begin.
Earlier in the brief meeting, the board approved the published agenda and the Jan. 11, 2022 meeting minutes. The board adjourned at 7:06 p.m.
No vote tallies by individual board member are listed in the minutes; the record denotes only that motions "carried."
