County Planning Commission members present were Chair Duane Knutson, Randy Jensen, Darrell Kleinjan, Darrell Nelson, Robert Rochel, Mary Kidwiler, and Jeff Robbins. Emil Klavetter was absent. City Planning Commission members present were Curt Ness, David Kurtz, Stacy Howlett, Al Gregg, Al Heuton, and Fargen. John Gustafson, Mike Cameron and Larry Fjeldos were absent. Others present were Brookings County Zoning Officer Bob Hill, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, City Planner Dan Hanson, and others. Item #2 – Hanson stated that the amendment would be similar to the same use that is currently allowed in the city as a conditional use. He noted that four (4) larger areas the Joint Jurisdiction Area were zoned R-1A, Nelson Addition, Southern Estates Addition, and two (2) unplatted acreages. The use had several standards that would have to be met prior to approval. These included a minimum lot area, area minimums for each horse, pasture location, separation requirements from adjacent houses, and prohibiting certain types of fencing. Heuton asked how the use would be treated if a landowner did not charge a fee for maintaining someone else’s horse. Hanson replied that the horses per acre density would still be enforced as if it were the landowner’s animal. Bob Hill, County Zoning Officer, remarked that a horse or colt would be considered as one animal unit. Gregg asked how this amendment would impact existing stables. Hanson responded that those uses would be allowed to continue as they had in the past. The meeting was adjourned. _______________________ _________________________ Dan Hanson, Secretary Greg Fargen, Chairperson Brookings City Planner
