2020 rule change could invalidate Board of Adjustment decisions

Submitted by admin on Thu, 11/09/2023 - 4:36pm

At left is Humboldt County Zoning Administrator Randy Krecklow and at right is Humboldt County District 5 Supervisor Dave Lee of Dakota City, who also sits on the County Zoning Board of Adjustment. It was reported Monday that Lee (Dakota City), Harley Friesleben (Renwick) and Billie Scott (Livermore) would be ineligible to serve under a 2020 rule change because they all live in incorporated areas of the county. Other Board of Adjustment members are Tim Burres (rural Humboldt) and Louis Fallesen (rural Humboldt).

BY APRIL KELLEY
A 2020 rule change could affect all decisions made by the Humboldt County Zoning Board of Adjustment since July 2020, it was reported at Monday's Humboldt County Board of Supervisors meeting.
According to Supervisor Dave Lee who serves on both the Board of Supervisors and the Board of Adjustment, the new rule was enacted in 2020 but was not disseminated properly to the local board.
Supervisor Dave Lee told those assembled that they have recently been told that in order to be on the Zoning Board of Adjustment, you have to live in the county, not in an incorporated area of a town.
“Cole’s (Anderson) lawyer reminded (County Attorney) Jon (Beaty) of that … and so therefore that meeting was null and void,” Lee said.
