Members present were Justin Hyde, John Gustafson, Dave Kurtz, Mike Cameron, Larry Fjeldos, Greg Fargen, and O’Brien. Curt Ness and Sandra Moore were absent. Also present were Paul Moriarty, Floyd Havrevold, Brian Darnall, Shirley Wheeler, Ryan Krogman, Dan Billet, Jerry Kincade, Teresa McKnight, Emil Klavetter, Sarah Woodard, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, Planning and Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson, and others. Item #5 – Hyde inquired if the plats were in compliance with preliminary plats. Hanson replied yes. Kurtz asked if the easements shown on the plats were correct. Hanson replied yes. Item #6 – Paul Moriarty stated that the land to the north and east of this parcel was zoned I-1. He added that land to the west across the diagonal was zoned Ag. Hyde indicated that the I-1R regulations required site plan approval by the Planning Commission and the City Council, but the I-1 did not. He asked what the difference was for setbacks. Hanson responded the I-1 requires 20 feet all around while the I-1R requires 60 foot front yards and 50 foot side and rear yard setbacks primarily to accommodate the perimeter landscape requirements. Item #7 – Brian Darnall, an adjacent property owner, stated the neighborhood was mostly single-family homes. He felt adequate parking was an issue and that three (3) unrelated persons was appropriate for this property. He felt, if approved, the boardinghouse would not convert back to a single-family dwelling. Myrna Brown and Shirley Wheeler, two neighbors, opposed the request for similar reasons as Darnall. Hyde asked about a parking plan. Havrevold responded that he would establish a gravel parking lot if the request were approved. He added that the house had four (4) bedrooms and parking in the rear yard. Hyde felt that surfaced parking could improve the property. C:\Documents and Settings\bfoster.CITYOFBROOKINGS\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKC\PC- 2007-05.doc 5 Hyde remarked that the property met or exceeded the standards. The parking was adequate, and a change from three to four persons would not cause a spike in traffic. He felt there would not be an adverse impact on the neighborhood. Fjeldos felt there would be some impact based on the testimony. He felt the request would affect the neighborhood more particularly if additional boardinghouses were approved in the future. Item #8 – Ryan Krogman, representing Dean Krogman, stated the business district expansion would partly be in an area that would contain a detention pond. Therefore, no commercial development would occur in the requested area. The rezoning from R-1B to R-2 would serve as a buffer to the B-2 District. The R-2 zoning would reduce the setback and allow for more buildable area since these lots were smaller. Dan Billet, a neighbor, was not opposed to the rezoning but had questions regarding future access to Main Avenue. He was unaware that the corner was already zoned business. Kurtz supported the B-2 expansion and felt the R-2 rezoning proposal was an appropriate buffer to the business district. Item #9 – Kincade stated that 85% of the business would be outside of the home. The portrait studio inside the home would be used only one or two times per week. Kurtz asked if film or supplies would be sold. Kincade replied no. Hyde asked if any remodeling would be done. Kincade answered that the room in the basement would be finished. Hyde asked if any chemicals, odors, or vibrations would come from the occupation. Kincade replied no because the operation was all digital. Hyde inquired if the home would be Kincade’s residence. Kincade replied yes. Item #10 and #11- Teresa McKnight, Executive Director for the Innovation Campus, stated they were one of several owners within the Tax Incremental District (TID). She stated companies were interested in locating to Brookings, and it was in the city’s best interest to develop the area at one time rather than piecemeal. Emil Klavetter, representing Brookings County, stated they would not oppose the creation of the TIDs even though the County would not receive the tax increment from the property until bonds were paid. Sarah Woodard, representing a property owner in the TID, supported the creation of the TID. O’Brien asked if notices had been sent to the taxing authorities. Hanson replied yes. Hyde asked what happened when the bonds were paid. Hanson C:\Documents and Settings\bfoster.CITYOFBROOKINGS\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKC\PC- 2007-05.doc 6 replied that the TID ended. Fjeldos was concerned about the percentage of land needed to be blighted. Hyde noted that 25% of an area was the maximum needed to declare an area as “blighted”. Gustafson was concerned about adding several developed properties to the south in TIC #1. Hanson commented that a district must have contiguous boundaries, and one parcel on the south end could be redeveloped. If this occurred, the tax increment from that parcel would be important for paying off the bonds. Fargen understood that, tax-wise, there would be no impact on a property owner whether they were in or out of the district. Cameron supported the boundaries as proposed. The meeting was adjourned. _______________________ _________________________ Dan Hanson, Secretary Sean O’Brien, Chairperson C:\Documents and Settings\bfoster.CITYOFBROOKINGS\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKC\PC- 2007-05.doc 7
