PUBLIC HEARING for a VARIANCE
The Dakota County Zoning Board of Adjustment will hold a public hearing regarding a request for a variance under Section 8 of Ordinance 50: Shoreland and Floodplain Management. The variance will be evaluated using criteria listed in Subpart 8.02 (J) of Dakota County Ordinance No. 50.
The public hearing will be held on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. in Room 334 of the Dakota County Western Service Center, 14955 Galaxie Avenue, Apple Valley, Minnesota.
The variance request is a setback variance from the Cannon River for property owned by Chad and Rebecca Blonigen. The property is located on the Cannon River in Sciota Township. The property is legally described as PT OF W 1/2 OF NE 1/4 COM INT S R/W RR & E LINE OF W 1/3 OF E 1/2 OF NE 1/4, Section 14, Township 112, Range 19.
