Council approves variance for Turkey Valley Farms to install condenser closer to property line
Summary
Planning staff said the condenser platform would sit 5 feet from the side property line (10 feet required); the planning commission recommended approval and the council voted to grant the variance after asking about neighbor notification and potential fan noise.
The Marshall City Council approved a variance adjustment permit for Turkey Valley Farms to allow a condenser platform to be installed five feet from the property line where a 10‑foot side yard is normally required.
Planner Ilya Grama told council the site is a corner lot in a general industrial district, adjacent to a railroad right‑of‑way, and that the proposed platform would serve an adjacent freezer building. Grama said planning staff and the planning commission recommended approval following a public hearing.
Council members asked about the radius used for notifying neighboring property owners; Grama said the required notification radius is 350 feet. Council also raised concerns about potential noise from fans; Grama said no public comments were received at the hearing. On a motion and second, council voted to approve the variance; the motion passed.
The approval includes the planning commission’s recommended conditions; the transcript does not list specific additional permit requirements or a roll‑call tally.
