Notice of Meeting

July 02, 2022

LAKE PARK BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE ON THE CONSIDERATION OF TWO VARIANCE REQUESTS. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 20.6 of the Lake Park Zoning Ordinance the Board of Adjustment will conduct a public hearing on July 14, 2022 at 6:30pm. at Lake Park City Hall. The first hearing is for property owned by Greg & Patti Wildeman, 18 Ave E West, Lake Park IA 51347. The property is legally described as Lake Park Second Addn. Lot 19 & 20. The owner is requesting a variance to allow an accessory building as the only principal structure on a platted lot. Current zoning regulations do not allow this without the lot being joined with the principal structure lot through deed restriction.

The second hearing is for property owned by Luke Bombei, 403 N. Market St., Lake Park, IA 51347. The property is legally described as Lake Park Myricks Subdivlot 1. The owner is requesting side yard setback variances to build a new garage. The request is a 5ft variance on the south side and a 3ft variance on the north side.  Current zoning regulations, for an accessory building, require a 5ft setback from the property line and 5ft from any existing structures.

 Written comments are accepted and should be sent to City Hall, PO Box 536, Lake Park, IA 51347.

June 27, 2022

Dear Landowner,

Thank you for protecting Silver Lake by stabilizing your shoreline.  We are happy to be able to assist some landowners with grant dollars from the Water Quality Commission.

This letter is to explain some of the items we will be expecting in your application. 

  1. The application and award will be for landowners only.
  2. Best Management Practices shall be used.
  3. Landowners shall consult with John Wills, Water Quality Commission coordinator (712.336.3782 Ext 3) and/or Mike Hawkins with Iowa Department of Natural Resources (712.330.1849), on their project.
  4. Applications will be accepted up to and including August 1, 2022
