Meeting to be held in person at City Council Chambers (416 9th St). You may watch via YouTube Live.
The Board of Adjustment (BOA) is a quasi-judicial body composed of 7 members. 5 are appointed by the
Mayor and confirmed by the City Council; 2 members are appointed by the O'Brien County Board of
Supervisors. Decisions by the BOA can be appealed to court, but cannot be appealed to the City
Council.
Here's the link to our Zoning Code - updated March 29, 2021. Here is the link to the 2010 Subdivision

The Board’s role is only to approve or deny the request. The Board is also allowed to require stipulations
of approval to the extent allowed by code. If the request is denied, the City (not the Board) must
determine if and what actions it wants to take regarding an applicant’s unauthorized activities.
