Grafton council approves first reading to rezone Dakota Addition, schedules July 8 public hearing
Summary
The council approved first reading of an ordinance to rezone property in Dakota Addition to permit an apartment complex and referred two lots to Planning & Zoning for recommendation; the council also discussed, but did not act on, a resident’s fence request for an easement.
The Grafton City Council approved first reading on June 10 of an ordinance to amend the zoning map for property in Dakota Addition to allow construction of an apartment complex on two lots north of First United Bank, and set a public hearing for July 8, 2024.
Mayor Chris West said interest has been expressed in building an apartment complex that will require rezoning from industrial to multi‑family. The council voted on a motion by Greg Young, seconded by Dave Fellman, to approve first reading and set the public hearing; all members present voted in favor.
Separately the council moved, seconded, and referred the rezoning of Lots 3 and 4, Block 3, Replat of Dakota Addition to the Planning & Zoning Commission for recommendation (motion carried unanimously).
Administrator Nick Ziegelmann also summarized a letter from Bonnie Hanson‑Yantes requesting a fence on a 10‑foot easement; Ziegelmann noted a 30‑foot flower bed that intrudes 2 feet into the easement. City Attorney Nick Hall advised that Ms. Hanson‑Yantes may petition the Planning & Zoning Commission but that the request likely would not qualify for a variance. The council took no action on the fence request.
The rezoning ordinance will return for additional consideration after the July 8 public hearing and Planning & Zoning recommendations.
