dog kennel at 6551 LaBeaux Avenue NE. Dal eiden seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Ralph Ackerman explained that he has had the dog kennel in
operation for the past two years. He explained that before he
opened the business, he had spoken to the previous administrator
about any permits he may need. The previous administration did not
address the question, so Ackerman assumed that he did not need a
permit. He contacted City Hall after the new clerk assumed duties
and learned that a conditional use permit was required in order to
comply with City ordinances.
Ackerman explained that he buys and breeds puppies at the
business. At this time he has no pI ans for expansion of the
business.
Linda reported that the City had received no letters either
in favor of or opposed to the dog kennel operation. There were no
comments from the audience.

grant Ralph and Helen Ackerman a Conditional Use Permit to operate
a dog kennel at 6551 LaBeaux Avenue NE. Hall er seconded the

PUBLIC HEARING
August 1, 1991
Albertville City Hall
7:30 PM
PRESENT: Commission Members Donatus Vetsch, Mark Daleiden,
Torn Haller, Clerk Linda Houghton
ABSENT: Commission Members Rick Bishop and LeRoy Berning
Chai rman Hall er call ed the publ ic hearing to order. The
purpose of the public hearing is to consider a variance request
from the required minimum floor area for Jim Hennum.
Citizens attending the public hearing are Tim Philips, Jim
Zachman, Bryan Carlson, Carolyn Bauer, Kathy Carron, Keith Carlson,
Daree and John Nelson, and Mike Potter.
.
Jim Hennum presented his proposal to build a 24' X 36' single
family house at 5484 Lander Avenue NE. The house will have a 23'
X 36' basement, which will also require a variance from the Zoning
Ordinance. Hennum explained that there are other houses, which
must have been built prior to the adoption of the current
Ordinance, wi thin the Ci ty. The buyers for the house have
financing avai I abl e onl y to cover the 864 square foot house.
Hennum indicated that a hardship exists because the buyer cannot
get additional financing for a larger house.
Chairman Haller asked for comment from the public. Several
residents in attendance opposed the variance request because they
feel that a smaller home in their area would depreciate the other
larger homes already there. No one in attendance was in favor of
the variance being granted.
Clerk Linda Houghton presented a letter dated July 26, 1991,
from Mr. & Mrs. Aaron Eull objecting to the proposed variance.
Haller made a motion recommending the City Council deny Jim
Hennum's requests for a variance on the minimum floor area and the
variance for a minimum basement size for a house at 5484 Lander
Avenue NE because the Commission finds the only hardship presented
is of economic nature, which is disallowed under the Ordinance.
Daleiden seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Dal eiden made a motion to close the publ ic hearing on the
variance requests. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Chairman Haller opened the public hearing to consider the
. division of the parcel of land located at 5491 Lander Avenue.
Parcel owner Jim Hennurn explained that the lot is almost 1000
feet long by 82 feet wide. He is proposing to split the lot into
,.
.
~ two parcels. The front portion of the lot will be the same depth
at the adjoining lot.
Several members of the audience raised concerns over the fact
that a drainage ditch goes across the lot and in order to build on
the proposed lot, this ditch may have to be filled in. Mike Potter
explained that the drainage issue would be addressed before a
building permit would be issued for the lot.
Chairman Haller indicated that the drainage issue should be
addressed before the Commission acts upon the request.
Daleiden made a motion to continue the public hearing on Jim
Hennum's proposed lot split until August 13 at 7:30 PM to allow the
Commission to get more information from the Ci ty' s engineering
firm. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
