Davison County Planning Commission recommends setback variance and approves three plats for County Commissioners
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a 25-foot variance to allow a proposed shed to be sited 50 feet from a south property line and recommended approval of three plats — Franny's Tracts 1 & 2, Wild Oak Lot 1, and Backlund Addition Lots 1–3 — forwarding them to the County Commissioners.
At its April 1, 2025 meeting the Davison County Planning Commission recommended approval of a variance requested by Curtis (Curt) Wieczorek and recommended three plats to the County Commissioners.
The commission voted to recommend a variance that would reduce the front-yard setback from 75 feet to approximately 50 feet for a proposed shed on a parcel in Section 27, T101N, R62W. Deputy Director of Planning & Zoning Karen Wegleitner explained the application; applicant Curtis Wieczorek told the commission the existing building predated the ordinance and that locating the replacement at the same distance from the south property line preserves access for semitrailers. Commissioner Chris Nebelsick moved to recommend approval to the Board of Adjustment; Commissioner Lewis Bainbridge seconded. Roll call recorded Haines, Thiesse, Gosmire, Bainbridge, Nebelsick, Blaalid and Anderson as voting aye and the motion carried.
The commission also recommended approval of a plat application from the Francis W. & Celine M. Fergen Trust to split land into Franny's Tracts 1 and 2 in the NW1/4 of Section 27, T101N, R60W; the applicants said they plan to keep Tract 1 as pasture and Tract 2 as farm and do not anticipate immediate building. Commissioner Lewis Bainbridge moved to recommend approval to the County Commissioners, seconded by Dave Anderson; the roll-call vote recorded all listed commissioners as aye and the motion carried.
Separately, the commission recommended approval of two plats submitted by GL Wild Oak, LLC in areas within the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction and subject to city ordinance. Chase Kristensen, who said he is purchasing the Wild Oak golf course, answered questions about deed restrictions and explained Lot 1 is being platted to be exempt from the deed restrictions. For the Backlund Addition plat (Lots 1–3 of Tract C), Kristensen said he will purchase Lot 1 while Lots 2 and 3 will remain with current owners for now. Motions to recommend both plats to the County Commissioners passed by recorded roll-call votes.
No further public comments were recorded. The commission set its next meeting for May 6, 2025 at 7:00 P.M. and adjourned at 7:24 PM.
