Summary

Appraiser Kate Immenschuh told the board that the zoning appeals board approved a variance classifying the Vanderputten building as agricultural, but she disagrees because the building houses woodworking and furniture sales and her office still needs an elevation certificate and wet floodproofing documentation.

Appraiser Kate Immenschuh reported to the board that a compliance application and floodplain application were on file for the Vanderputten building and that the zoning appeals board has approved a variance classifying the structure as agricultural. Immenschuh said she disagrees with that classification, noting the building appears to be used for woodworking and selling furniture. Her office still requires an elevation certificate and an engineer‑approved wet floodproofing application before completing its review.

The Board asked County Counselor Todd Luckman to draft a letter asking the property owner to appear at a meeting to discuss the use and outstanding documentation. Kate also submitted photos related to a Neighborhood Revitalization applicant who has not completed remodeling within the required time frame, and staff will follow up as needed.
