Sioux Falls Board of Adjustment to consider variance today

The new Subaru dealership on 85th & Minnesota is asking to change their buffer zone from 10′ to 0′ feet, essentially allowing them to park vehicles right up to Minnesota Avenue. As if it wasn’t bad enough they put up Pirate flags (that had to be taken down) and Walmart continues to build on land that may have been illegally re-zoned internally by a director acting alone, that area of town is becoming a real clusterf’ck.

The meeting is at 6 PM tonight at Carnegie Hall.

Who is running for Sioux Falls city council? Not Jeff Barth

You may or may not know this, but several councilor’s terms will be up this Spring (2016). Anderson, Jamison, Karsky. Staggers can run for another term, but he has not decided yet. That means that 4 seats could be up for grabs.

Honestly, I have no idea who is running. I of course have had friends encourage me (again) but I could only run for Kermit’s seat (at Large). I live in central district, and the three other seats are district seats.

Yesterday while meeting with the Rogue Dems for lunch, across the street from the Paul Dudley House, we had the pleasure of meeting a gentleman that is ‘considering’ running for Karsky’s empty seat (NW district), I promised I would not ‘blog’ about it, because he hasn’t made up his mind yet. But I was impressed by his resume and demeanor, and the fact that he is an independent. He does need to learn a little about city politics though.

I asked Jeff Barth if he was considering running for city council, and he responsed, “No way, I would have to take a cut in pay and wouldn’t have any authority.”

IL Wiederman Memorial Service • 9/20/2015

IL may have had a big mouth and large stature, but he had a gigantic heart that quietly cared for others. I was truly moved by all of the stories told at his service. I hope you watch.

Whether you knew him as Wedemann – Wiederman – Wiedermann – Weiderman – IL – Lawson, who cares… We called him a friend.
