Bismarck Board of Adjustment 2026-11-05

The Bismarck Board of Adjustment meeting, held November 5, 2026 (the title date; metadata lists November 6), approved the prior meeting minutes with corrections. The board then considered Ralph Rohman’s request for a variance at 414 West Avenue to replace an existing accessory building with a 1,672-square-foot garage, exceeding the 1,200-square-foot limit. After discussion, the board voted to deny the variance, finding no hardship that justified the additional area. Staff noted the applicant could work with them on a revised design or reapply. The board also noted that its December 3 meeting would depend on whether agenda items arise. No procurement, contracting, or spending activity was identified.
