Silver Creek P&Z approves variance for Endicott Ave lakeshore parcels
Summary
The Silver Creek Township Planning and Zoning Commission on Sept. 3 approved a variance to alter two divisions at 9571 and 9611 Endicott Ave NW despite one resulting parcel exceeding the township prime-soils cap and having less than the required lake frontage; the vote was 7-0.
Planning and Zoning Chairman Chris Klein called the Silver Creek Township Planning and Zoning Commission to order Sept. 3, 2024, and the commission approved a variance to alter two lakeshore divisions at 9571 and 9611 Endicott Ave NW (Millstone Lake).
Under the variance request, one altered division would contain approximately 5.7 acres of prime soils, exceeding the Wright County Code limit of 2.5 acres for prime soils per division, and would provide about 285 feet of lake frontage, short of the 300 feet required under Sections 155.026 and 155.048(B) of Chapter 155, Title XV, Land Usage & Zoning of the Wright County Code of Ordinances. The property owners are listed in the record as Rodney W. Hebrink, Carol J. Hebrink JREVTR and Dustin McCormack; Kelsea McCormack was identified as the buyer and Rod Hebrink as the seller and both were present to explain the request.
P&Z Member Mike Helman moved to approve the variance and P&Z Member Brandon Geyen seconded; the commission voted unanimously, 7-0, to grant the variance. The motion and vote were recorded by Clerk-Treasurer Alana Paumen.
The meeting record indicates applicants presented explanations for the alteration during the public agenda item; the minutes do not include verbatim applicant testimony or conditions attached to the approval beyond the variance request description.
