Silver Creek P&Z approves variance for Endicott Ave NW properties that exceed prime-soil limit
Summary
The Silver Creek Township Planning and Zoning Board unanimously approved a variance Sept. 3, 2024, allowing altered divisions for parcels on Endicott Avenue NW even though one resulting lot would contain 5.7 acres of prime soils (2.5-acre maximum) and have 285 feet of lake frontage (300 ft. required).
Planning and Zoning Chairman Chris Klein presided as the Silver Creek Township Planning and Zoning Board unanimously approved a variance for properties at 9571 and 9611 Endicott Avenue NW during its Sept. 3 meeting.
The application, filed for parcels listed as part of Government Lot 2, Section 17, Township 121, Range 26 in Wright County, cited Sections 155.026 and 155.048(B) of Chapter 155 (Title XV, Land Usage & Zoning) of the Wright County Code of Ordinances as the basis for requesting a variance. According to the record, altering one division would result in 5.7 acres of prime soils (the ordinance maximum is 2.5 acres) and would leave 285 feet of frontage along Millstone Lake (300 feet is required). The property owners are listed as Rodney W. Hebrink, Carol J. Hebrink JREVTR and Dustin McCormack; the buyer present was Kelsea McCormack.
Applicant Kelsea McCormack and seller Rodney Hebrink were present and provided an explanation of the request to the board. After discussion, member Mike Helman moved to approve the variance; member Brandon Geyen seconded the motion. The board voted 7-0 to carry the motion.
Earlier in the meeting the board approved the agenda on a 7-0 vote (motion by Helman, second by Geyen) and approved minutes from the Aug. 6, 2024 meeting (motion by Tom Vanek, second by Helman), with Justin Hall and Jesse Dickinson recorded as abstaining because they were not present at the earlier meeting. Member Brandon Geyen moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Tom Vanek; the adjournment carried 7-0.
No additional conditions, appeals timelines, or staff reports are noted in the meeting record provided. The board took no other formal actions on related permits or on changes to the county ordinance during this meeting.
