PLANNING/PUBLIC WORKS:
1) CONSIDER APPEAL OF THE DECISION BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS TO
DENY ACCESS PERMIT FOR AMENDED RECORDED EXEMPTION, AMRE-415 -
DAVID HOFMEISTER, C/O JOHN HOFMEISTER: Dawn Anderson, Department of Public Works,
reviewed the request for an access along County Road 5, just north of State Highway 56. The appellant
is proposing a new Residential access because he recently purchased Lot A, is removing the existing
mobile home and plans to build a new home on the lot. Ms. Anderson stated when the RE was originally
approved, there was one property owner for both lots and the shared access was sufficient. The appellant
requested a 60-foot-wide access point moved further north to avoid potential issues with or future property
owners of Lot B. She stated it would be a financial hardship to build the driveway to the new home due
to the costs for removal of the large established trees. Ms. Anderson stated the distance from the existing
access to the proposed access is approximately 300 feet. She stated CR 5 is a gravel local road and the
ADT is 371 vehicles per day, with 18% trucks. She recommended if the Board approves the proposed
access point, the plat needs to be updated to remove the 30-foot access easement. a In response to
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Ms. Anderson explained for an agricultural access, the Code allows 36 feet or
commercial access is 40 feet maximum. Commissioner Cozad confirmed when the plat was approved
there were two (2) access points. One access was shared between Lots A and B and the other access
was an access point for Lot B, so their request isn't an increase in the number of accesses, since they
are just relocating the access point.
John Hofmeister, appellant, stated his brother has heavy haul equipment and using the shared
access will make it difficult to drive the large trucks on the property, however, if there is an issue, they
will accept the 40-foot access point. He explained his father currently owns Lot B and they don't want
issues in the future if the property is sold.
In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Hofmeister stated he will accept the 40-foot access
and confirmed neither property owner has any issues with correcting the plat. Commissioner Kirkmeyer

moved to grant the 40-foot-wide access point, 20 feet south from the lot line, and correct the plat to
remove the 30-foot shared easement. Commissioner Cozad seconded the motion. Commissioner
Kirkmeyer commented they are working to get the access permit process more efficient. There being no
further discussion, the motion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
Consent Agenda. Code Ordinance #2018-11 was approved on First Reading.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted
by the Clerk to the Board.
There being no further business, this meeting was adjourned at 9:39 a.m.
