SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 2, 2011
A special meeting of the Fairfax City Council was held Friday, December 2, 2011 at
Fairfax City Hall. Mayor Jason Rabe called the meeting to order at 5:30 PM. Council members
present: JoAnn Beer, Travis Otto, and Marianne Wainwright. Bernie Frieden and Marc Magers
were absent. Shane Wicks entered the meeting at 5:34 PM. Other city staff present: Kathy
Everett. Residents in attendance: Cory Stockton and Gary Stockton.
Motioned by Beer, seconded by Otto to approve the agenda. Ayes: Beer, Otto, and
Wainwright. Nays: None. Absent: Frieden and Magers. Motion carried.
Mayor Rabe stated that the Board of Adjustment approved a variance to allow Cory
Stockton to build a 26’x26’ detached garage in a side yard, and five feet from an existing
structure at 429 Front Street. The placement of the garage will result in an encroachment into the
existing sewer easement, and council action is needed to allow the garage to be built as planned.
Motioned by Otto, seconded by Beer to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2011-80, A
RESOLUTION APPROVING A BUILDING ENCROACHMENT INTO A SANITARY
SEWER EASEMENT, LOCATED ON LOT 5, SELZER’S LAKESIDE ADDITION TO
FAIRFAX. Ayes: Beer, Otto, and Wainwright. Nays: None. Absent: Frieden and Magers.
Motion carried. Mayor Rabe declared RESOLUTION 2011-80 duly adopted.
The city engineer has determined the sewer line located on Lot 5, Selzer’s Lakeside
Addition to Fairfax, is not centered in the existing sewer easement and that changing the location
of the easement would be beneficial to the city and the homeowner. The City would vacate the
existing sewer easement, and require the homeowner to dedicate a portion of Lot 5 to a new
sanitary sewer easement. In order to consider vacating a sanitary sewer easement, a public
hearing must be held.
Motioned by Beer, seconded by Wainwright to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2011- 81,
A RESOLUTION SETTING TIME AND PLACE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING
CONCERNING VACATING A SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT. Ayes: Beer, Otto, and
Wainwright. Nays: None. Absent: Frieden and Magers. Motion carried. Mayor Rabe declared
RESOLUTION 2011-81 duly adopted.
