Plans Commission

PUBLIC HEARING / PLANS COMMISSION November 3, 2022 The regular meeting of the Plans Commission was called to order at 6:30 p.m. by President Kim Blumer in the Albany Village Hall. Members present were: Blumer, Eileen Althaus, Michelle Monson, David King and Paul Rhyner. Absent: Larry Ommodt. Also present: Kathy Delikat, John Koopmans and Kathleen Harwood. Proof of posting was verified. MINUTES: Motion by Monson, seconded by King, to approve the minutes of the previous meeting as printed. Carried. PUBLIC HEARING-REZONE PROPERTY AT 104 NORTH JACKSON STREET: Delikat presented her plan to build a two-story duplex as a safe home for domestic violence victims. She had a plan that provided two options, both of which will meet the setbacks. Brian Flannery had mentioned an easement with TDS on file that may impact the setbacks, but a certified survey would show this. Koopmans mentioned the TDS box is at the back of the property and recalls a 10’ easement, which appears Delikat should still have the room to meet that setback as well. Koopmans and Harwood were both present in support of the rezoning. Brewer indicated she had not heard from anyone else regarding the rezoning in that area. Motion by Monson, seconded by Althaus, to approve the rezoning of the property from an R-1 to an R-4, continent on Delikat completing a certified survey prior to obtaining the building permit. Carried. FENCE PLANS: There were none. CHICKEN PERMITS: There were none. FUTURE ITEMS: Rhyner questioned the property located at 209 East Main Street as it was listed for sale and wanted clarification that the conditional use for a duplex that was granted on July 7, 2022 was no longer available. It was confirmed that the property was listed for sale as single-family and no one has come forward asking for something different than a single-family property. ADJOURN: Motion by Rhyner, seconded by Monson, to adjourn. Carried. MICHELLE C. BREWER 6:41 p.m.
