NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR VARIANCE
TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 250 FEET OF THE CRESCO FITNESS CENTER LOCATED 316 3RD AVENUE EAST IN CRESCO, IOWA AND TO OTHER PERSONS WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
An application for a variance to the City Zoning Ordinance has been filed with the Board of Adjustment by the Cresco Fitness Center.
The property is situated in the R-2 zone and is located at 316 3rd Avenue East in Cresco, Iowa.
Legal description: BLK 6 CRESCO PLAT. The parcel number is 320010600000000.
The request, if approved, would authorize the construction of a pergola to the south side of the swimming pool.
The Enforcing Officer was required, under the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, to deny the permit because the pergola will encroach on the front (south) yard set back by 25 feet (25’ 0”.) The Cresco City Code requires fifty (50) foot front yard setback.
However, the Board of Adjustment, under certain conditions and safeguards, may have the authority to grant the request.
The Board of Adjustment will hold a public hearing on Wednesday May 27, 2026, at 6:00 P.M. in the City Hall, at which time you may submit your views on the matter in person, by writing or by representative. A copy of the application for variance is on file with the City Clerk.
You are further notified that any person not objecting in writing, or at said hearing, shall be deemed to have consented to the granting of the requested variance by the Board of Adjustment.
