Board of Adjustment - January 12, 2026

The City of Dickinson Board of Adjustment held a meeting on January 12, 2026, where they addressed two variance requests related to property development and zoning regulations. The first variance approved was to reduce the front yard setback on a mobile home zoned lot from the required 25 feet to 18.22 feet to accommodate a garage placement that was constructed without a permit. The board approved the variance after confirming the garage's location relative to existing structures and neighborhood norms. The second variance involved reducing the required 15-foot landscape buffer on an R3 zoned lot to zero feet to allow the addition of approximately 15 parking spaces for low-income apartment housing managed by 23rd Street Apartments LLC, a subsidiary of AEL Corporation. The board approved this variance with conditions, noting that professional landscaping would be used to maintain aesthetics and drainage. Both motions passed unanimously, enabling the continuation of the respective projects with compliance to city codes and public safety considerations.
