The Humboldt County Zoning Board of Adjustment met last week and for the second time, denied a special exception use for Mitch Fridolfson of Humboldt.
Fridolfson would like some answers why? Those answers haven’t been forthcoming, he says.
The Board of Adjustment is comprised of Chair Tim Burres, Louis Fallesen, Harley Friesleben and David Lee. There is currently one opening on the five-member board.
Humboldt County Zoning Administrator Randy Krecklow outlined several options under Humboldt County Zoning Ordinance No. 26.
On July 26, the Board voted 4-0 to not review its earlier decision and once again deny Fridolfson’s request.
Fallesen made the motion and Lee seconded with Friesleben and Burres concurring.
Fridolfson contends that the Board of Adjustment violated the Iowa Open Meetings Law at its May 2 meeting.

Plans to develop the new Three Rivers Industrial Park in northwest Humboldt moved forward Monday night (Aug. 1) after action by the Humboldt City Council.
They voted unanimously to approve resolution 2022-48 to approve Humboldt County Development Association’s (HCDA) application for annexation of the western portion of the proposed industrial park.
The city will be automatically annexing the adjacent portions of Kentucky Avenue and 215th Street, but only to the centerlines of each roadway. The annexation is categorized as a 100 percent voluntary annexation, which means all property owners included in the annexation (HCDA), consent to annexation.
There was a question about the annexation and a proposed change by the HCDA of the composite site from the southwest corner of the property to the northwest.

Submitted by admin on Wed, 08/03/2022 - 4:42pm

Water in Gilmore City is once again safe to drink. The city made that announcement at 1 p.m. this afternoon (Wednesday, Aug. 3).
According to Gilmore City City Clerk Melissa Ubben, a leak in a hose reduced the chlorine levels early Tuesday morning, so the do not drink order was issued.
Water pressure and chlorine levels were back up to the specs by 1 p.m. Wednesday and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources told the city that testing was fine and water was once again safe to drink.
The city of Gilmore City appreciates the patience of residents during this very hot time when water is in high demand.
