Summary

Applicants received council approval to build a 1,008 sq. ft. house with a 520 sq. ft. attached garage at 815 North Second Street; the motion passed with one council member voting no and one abstention, and members asked for survey verification of property lines and setbacks.

Mark Etrheim and David Prestby asked the council to approve a building permit to construct a 1,008-square-foot single-family home with a 520-square-foot attached garage at 815 North Second Street. The applicants said the property would be surveyed to verify property lines.

Mayor Jean Meyer moved to approve the construction, including the garage and retaining wall; Bill Fitzpatrick seconded the motion. Council discussed the need to verify property lines and compliance with setback requirements; Council member Tim Klug explicitly requested that members examine the survey to confirm setbacks. The motion passed with Council member Barb Hurley voting nay and Council member Pam Walhovd abstaining.

Council also noted an outstanding old-business item: a subdivision request from Jerry Walhovd that remains tabled pending additional information about an alley affecting lot depth; the council agreed to submit a resolution in October and to hold a public hearing in November.
