Jim Kahle and Mary Kahle met with the Board to discuss the possibility of receiving a variance to the county’s subdivision ordinance on a parcel located in the W1/2 of the E1/2 of the SE1/4 of 28-82-10. Irene Kahle, the owner of the property, would like to allow for the construction of a new residence by a non-family member. A split would be required and due to a previous split in the 40-acre aliquot part, a subdivision plat would be required. The owner has no intentions of creating a rural housing development. Jim Kahle explained that allowing another residence to be constructed on the parcel would provide for continuous oversight of his mother. Supervisor Wiley questioned what the hardship in this situation would be due to the county’s ordinance only providing for a variance in cases of undue hardship. Kahle responded that the hardship would be that his mother would not be able to continue living in her home. Wiley questioned what issues may arise in the future if the properties transferred. Kahle responded that any transfer of his mother’s property would be to immediate family members and that no problem is anticipated. Supervisor Hertle stated that he had no concerns with granting the request. Moved by Hertle, seconded by Wiley, to adopt Resolution #14-32, VARIANCE TO THE BENTON COUNTY SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE. Voting aye were Frese, Hertle, and Wiley. Nays none. Motion carried.

The Board discussed property values for insurance purposes. No action was taken.

Moved by Hertle seconded by Wiley, to adjourn. All members voting aye thereon. Motion carried

Donald H. Frese, Chairman
