Staff member Grama said the container had previously been granted a temporary variance on Feb. 27, 2024, allowing it to remain through Aug. 27, 2025, and that the applicant requested a two-year extension while organizing the facility. The zoning code (Chapter 5, 10-5-1[e]) prohibits storage containers on private property for more than 60 cumulative days in any 12-month period unless a temporary variance is granted, staff noted.
The applicant (representing RPM Motor Company) said management changes and a relocation of parts of the business require time to reorganize and to keep the site tidy. Board member Bovey criticized prior delays, noting the property has been the subject of citations and court delays and that the business had had roughly 2½ years to resolve the issue. “I just find it difficult to … grant another 2 year variance,” Bovey said.
Staff member Schrader told the board that staff had recommended two years based on the applicant’s logistics but agreed a one-year extension would be reasonable. The board considered a one-year extension motion but the motion failed on a split vote; after further discussion, the board set a firm removal deadline of Oct. 31, 2025 (a 60-day extension from the existing Aug. 27 deadline) and ordered the structure removed by that date.
The board’s final decision was enforcement-focused: the temporary variance will expire and the storage container must be removed by Oct. 31, 2025. Staff and board members discussed enforcement scheduling and the possibility of code citations if the container remains after the deadline.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Waterloo Board of Adjustment Meeting - Tuesday, August 26, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Board denied a proposed multi-year extension for a storage container at RPM Motor Company, declining staff's two-year recommendation and rejecting a one-year motion; the board later granted a limited removal extension to Oct. 31, 2025.","taxTitle","Waterloo, Black Hawk County, Iowa","taxId",3694,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6007073,"Board allows city to rebuild garage on Liberty Avenue at zero setback with conditions",580,816000,1396000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5822524-aac212785909be18c0179aa0d7e0dd7f&start=816&end=1396","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5822524-aac212785909be18c0179aa0d7e0dd7f/thumbnail_816000.jpg","/articles/6007073/Waterloo/Black-Hawk-County/Iowa/Board-allows-city-to-rebuild-garage-on-Liberty-Avenue-at-zero-setback-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6007073-3ef26c4a24d9f4ede7a5c74ee6f0ae14/orig.mp4?Expires=1770698805&Signature=apeffHIRdAmC6vRb5EaxXYyXLQQ1CiRTPedLXe7BCTsNQlEnC~a4mD9UtuLS5K4NyVXU5n~uhPJHZPfe7ksQdsqW~-KklS1lFnDsKZTw2ejbWJKUkR~S4Kc8TC0OhRewjuvlm~TvCNrC-czOEQdiaqeyKUOEs3qOdVbYHQZEFrAxRFgI2HjeswXK~i8iCm2KMyqFw16SFgiTL5zbe1H1cxTH4HPAPMq0qyHtEp4-JB9gi7nQe7ImUaA2cQe4dofeHqbjnHA0iquOKUAeVMHUE5jOOYVZ6KOuHfTb28t-uTj9PIzZFyWqv9Q9gEWD0r7EcIzdFJK5NLZCwP8WB6QOUw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waterloo Board of Adjustments on Aug. 26 approved a variance permitting the City of Waterloo to rebuild an accessory garage at 1515 Liberty Ave. at a 0-foot setback, 3 feet less than the 3-foot setback required in the R-2 (single- and two-family) residence district.
Tamala, a city staff member, told the board the property has been zoned R-2 since 1969 and that the existing accessory structure already sits at the lot line; the city intends to rebuild the garage in the same location. Staff recommended approval and asked that gutters and downspouts be installed so water would not shed onto the neighboring property.
Rudy Jones, community development director, described planned repairs and broader home rehabilitation the city intends at the property, including shoring footings, repairing water-damaged areas and installing a new driveway. Jones said the garage alone could cost about $2,025,000 and that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides an allowance of roughly $140,000–$150,000 for substantial rehabs; he said final house rehab budgeting had not been established.
Board discussion noted adjoining properties also have accessory structures at the lot line and that rebuilding the garage in place preserves access behind the structure; one board member suggested requiring gutters “will be required” rather than optional language to ensure runoff is directed away from neighbors.
A motion to approve the City of Waterloo’s variance passed by voice vote. The board approved the variance with the condition that gutters and downspouts be installed and directed away from the neighboring property to avoid creating water problems.","The Waterloo Board of Adjustments approved a variance letting the City of Waterloo rebuild an accessory garage at 1515 Liberty Ave. at a 0-foot setback, and required gutters/downspouts be directed away from neighboring property to prevent water issues.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6007077,"Board of Adjustments OKs setback variance for ENA Properties building on Jefferson Street",546,265000,811000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5822524-aac212785909be18c0179aa0d7e0dd7f&start=265&end=811","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5822524-aac212785909be18c0179aa0d7e0dd7f/thumbnail_265000.jpg","/articles/6007077/Waterloo/Black-Hawk-County/Iowa/Board-of-Adjustments-OKs-setback-variance-for-ENA-Properties-building-on-Jefferson-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6007077-ef4066f0ccfcf38f2e41e89d1c6d0505/orig.mp4?Expires=1770698805&Signature=jtF~CTpmRbCLLPeQod~Kj5f~CVlejF4xq2geh8Hi6ToE47UOG6GzjY6V7PJsxx5XDGqXHgmN2FEF0K8PWFa3BlTea~~EZImtDJ9SxxH4tRF-uOClvFhKZ5twuWOjOLgElIFy5mRdxLrNymYHfv1Cjc2HT9-lDt0LBJDddxGtf5x0m4eVAMoZY2Ap-QgFJyl1Rh3Yk3m87s1r4r76cWYn4qfmsdAxPrN50IonRycWzMU4lXyunkw0skzoVuuRZdeKSVavmo7tSe3vQNORfnVMEjk3lPVs5~dvTlXN6aar~HanDzpPj9jJ~2t60sUzthmpxUA7~OEJ2V0SU~SzfNLg-A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waterloo Board of Adjustments on Aug. 26 approved a variance allowing ENA Properties LLC to construct a 9,975-square-foot building with a 10.95-foot front-yard setback at a lot adjacent to 1825 Jefferson Street.
Staff told the board the request reduces the required 25-foot front-yard setback by 14.05 feet and would not appear to negatively affect traffic or the commercial character of the area. The property is in the M-1 Light Industrial District and has held that zoning designation since 1969.
City staff said the proposed setback mirrors other small setbacks on the block and noted the applicant must meet modern stormwater detention requirements during the building-permit process. Christian (staff) summarized the recommendation: the variance should be approved because the applicant would otherwise have to build a smaller building, other nearby buildings have smaller setbacks, and there has been no opposition.
Applicant Edis Peduzovich told the board he owns adjacent property and plans to consolidate operations. “We would be moving from University … down to Jefferson having the whole location … for storing cars, sports and exotic cars,” Peduzovich said, describing the new building as a consolidation of existing storage and detailing operations.
No members of the public spoke in opposition. After discussion the board voted to approve the variance; the chair announced, “Motion carries.”
The board’s approval is limited to the setback relief described; the applicant must obtain all required building permits and comply with applicable stormwater and other city codes as part of the permit review and construction process.","The Waterloo Board of Adjustments approved a variance allowing ENA Properties LLC to build a 9,975-square-foot structure with a 10.95-foot front-yard setback, citing nearby buildings with smaller setbacks and no opposition.","actionData","errors"]
