BOA 12-4111 (4944 W. PERSIMMON ST./LHC FELLOWSHIP, 437): Submitted by
JORGENSEN AND ASSOCIATES for properties located at 4944 WEST PERSIMMON
STREET. The property is zoned R -A, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTRIAL and contains
approximately 3.99 acres. The request is for a variance from the lot area and lot width
requirements to allow the property to be split into two tracts.
Andrew Garner, Senior Planner gave the staff report.
Dave Jorgensen, applicant, was present for any questions
Board Member Kohler asked about the shape of the lots and the lot width variance.
Dave Jorgensen, applicant, discussed the reasons for the lot line location and that they
could potentially angle the line.
Board Member Knight discussed that Tract B should be larger because it was
constrained by a floodplain.
Dave Jorgensen, applicant, discussed the slope of the lot to the west and the sewer
connection.
Board Member Niehues discussed that it is logical to have a straight lot line as
proposed.
Board Member Knight discussed that because of the floodplain on that one tract she
viewed it as a hardship.
Board Member Kohler discussed the various options and the requirement for a hardship
for the variances and that we shouldn't be giving variances unless they are needed.
Motion #1 (Lot Area):
Board Member Niehues made a motion to approve the lot area variance as
recommended by staff. Board Member Stein seconded the motion. Upon roll call, the
motion passed with a vote of 5-0-0.
Motion #2 (Lot Width):
Board Member Knight made a motion to approve the lot width variance as
recommended by staff. Board Member Stein seconded the motion. Upon roll call, the
motion was denied with a vote of 2-3-0.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 4:30 PM.
