Board of Adjustment approves setback variance for garden shed at 104 Gauge Avenue SE
Summary
The Board of Adjustment and Appeals in Madelia approved a variance reducing the north setback to 4 feet and the east setback to 2 feet to allow a 12-by-10-foot garden shed at 104 Gauge Avenue Southeast; the planning commission recommended approval and the only public comment reported raised no objection.
The Board of Adjustment and Appeals approved a setback variance to allow a 12-by-10-foot garden shed at 104 Gauge Avenue Southeast in Madelia.
The chair said the applicant, identified in the transcript as "Tyler," requested the north setback be reduced from 7 feet to 4 feet and the east setback from 10 feet to 2 feet to place the shed in the property's northeast corner. The chair told the board the planning commission had recommended approval and that the public hearing had been held at 6:15 p.m.
The chair reported the only public comment the office received (named in the transcript as "core") indicated no objection: "they didn't have any problems with it," the chair said. After brief remarks, a motion to approve the variance was made and carried on a voice vote; the chair stated, "all those in favor say I" and "motion carries." The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or the names of the motion's mover and seconder.
The board closed the public hearing and the board of adjustment session after the vote. No further conditions, appeals information, or formal timeline for implementation were specified in the hearing record.
The decision lets the property owner place the 12-by-10 garden shed closer to the north and east property lines than current setback rules would normally allow.
