Heidelberg council authorizes land‑use inquiry and parcel split to contain feedlot structure
Summary
The council authorized a land‑use inquiry and a parcel‑split to address a feedlot structure that crosses a lot line, and directed the clerk to notify county officials; property owners are obtaining a survey and variances may be required.
The Heidelberg City Council on Feb. 2, 2025 authorized a land‑use inquiry and parcel‑split process for parcels 07.030.5110 and 07.030.5000 after members discussed a feedlot structure that currently crosses the existing lot line.
Council member Randy Odentha moved to approve the land‑use inquiry and parcel‑split as presented; Council member Ted Odenthal seconded the motion. The council voted unanimously to carry the motion.
Council members discussed that one feedlot structure crosses the current lot line, meaning a lot‑line adjustment is needed so the feedlot is contained on a single parcel. The discussion identified that property owners may need variances related to separation distances, setback requirements, minimum lot size, and buildable area depending on the survey results. The property owners are obtaining a professional survey to document current boundaries.
Clerk/Administrator Tracy Prochaska was authorized to notify Le Sueur County about the proposed lot‑line adjustment and variance requests so the county can advise on permitting and next steps. No specific variance decisions or vote tallies beyond the motion to authorize inquiry were taken at the meeting.
Next steps: the council will await the property owners’ survey and any county guidance or formal variance applications before scheduling additional action or public hearings.
