Jay Henry Properties seeks conditional-use permit and setback variance in Madelia; hearing adjourned
Summary
City staff presented an application from Jay Henry Properties for a conditional-use permit and a setback variance to allow equipment in an R-1 zone; staff cited City code and found no violations, and the hearing was adjourned without a decision.
City staff opened a public hearing on an application from Jay Henry Properties to allow a conditional use and a setback variance at a residential property in Madelia. A staff member said, "Josh Henry of Jay Henry Properties is requesting conditional use permit and a setback variance for the construction of a forklift in an R 1 at 115." The staff presentation cited the Planning and Zoning Commission's review and City of Madelia code sections as the regulatory basis.
The staff member read code language and the commission's findings, saying that the property is zoned R-1 and that "no dwelling or other building shall be closer than 25 feet to the lot line on which it faces." Staff further stated that "the proposed living area will not be detrimental to the district" and that no undue adverse impacts on governmental facilities, utility services, or public health and safety were identified. The presentation noted nearby multifamily units, corner-lot sight-line considerations and a review of state-aid road regulations; staff reported "no violation was discovered" in that review.
Before public comment began, staff asked whether there were any objections to the two requests on the table and invited speakers, saying, "So tonight, we are here to hear from the public if there is any objections in regards to the 2 requests that are on the table." Commission members set a five-minute time limit for public commenters. The transcript records a motion to adjourn the public hearing that passed by voice vote; no approval or denial of the conditional-use permit or setback variance appears in the record provided.
The record contains an address inconsistency: the hearing record alternately lists the site as "115 Peninsula Avenue Southwest" and as "115 Bentall Avenue Southwest." The transcript does not record any public testimony or a final decision; next procedural steps or a date for continuation were not specified in the provided record.
