Leah Bittner seeks variance to add front deck and move fence at 308 S. Main St.
Summary
At a Lamberton City Council public hearing Aug. 12, 2024, resident Leah Bittner requested a variance to build a front deck inside the 30-foot setback and to relocate a rear fence to the side lot line at 308 S. Main Street; council discussed the proposal but the minutes record no formal vote or decision.
Leah Bittner asked the Lamberton City Council at a public hearing on Aug. 12, 2024, for a variance allowing a new front deck to be placed inside the 30-foot front-yard setback and for a fence to be built directly on the side-yard lot line at 308 S. Main Street.
The request covers Lots 4 and 5 of Lamberton & Syke's First Addition to the Village (now City) of Lamberton, Redwood County, Minnesota. According to the minutes, Bittner said the property already exceeds the city's 30% lot-coverage limit and that the proposed deck and fence would increase coverage further.
The hearing record shows the applicant explained the project and council and staff discussed the setback, fence placement and existing lot coverage. The minutes do not record a motion, a vote or any conditions attached to the request; they note only that “discussion was held.”
Mayor L. Sik and council members L. Bittner, D. Irlbeck and D. Knutson were listed as present; staff in attendance included Clerk Valerie Halter, J. Thram and A. Vogel. The public meeting was called to order at 7:15 p.m. and adjourned at 7:23 p.m. Minutes were submitted by Clerk Valerie Halter.
Because the minutes do not list a formal outcome, any permit, condition or final determination on the variance is not specified in this record. Further action—such as a formal vote, written decision or building-permit approval—would be required to grant the relief requested.
