SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Alan Gregg called the regular meeting of the City Planning
Commission to order on July 6, 2010, at 7:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City
Hall. Members present were Wayne Avery, Mike Cameron, Donna DeKraai,
Greg Fargen, Al Heuton, Dave Kurtz, John Sydow, and Gregg. John Gustafson
was absent. Others present were Mark Whaley, Connie Swain, City Engineer
Jackie Lanning, City Manager Jeff Weldon, Community Development Director
Mike Struck, Planning and Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson and others.
Item #3 –
3a. Fargen noted that the right-of-way proposed on the plat coincided with the
major street plan.
3b. Hanson indicated that the plat created two lots, each containing a single-
family dwelling.
3c. Hanson stated that the plat would consolidate several lots into two lots, one
on each side of the alley.
3d. Cameron asked about any required utility and drainage easements.
Lanning responded that the easement shown conformed to the drainage
easements proposed for the area.
Item #4 – Mark Whaley stated that he currently rented the land on the corner
where he conducted his business. His business was expanding, and he
purchased the property south of the lot he was renting. His plan was to use the
north 40 feet for his business and continue to rent the south portion for residential
purposes.
Fargen asked about access to the lot. Whaley replied that he would use
the alley. Fargen asked about the garage on the lot. Whaley responded that it
would be used by the tenant. Fargen inquired about outdoor storage. Whaley
answered that some outdoor storage would be located on the south lot. Kurtz

asked about the future of the house. Whaley had no other plans now other than
to rent it for residential uses.
Item #5 – Connie Swain, Executive Director of Brookings Area Habitat for
Humanity (BAHFH), stated the building would be used for an office for four (4)
full-time employees. Students would also work two to four hours a week as
volunteers. The office would operate from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Monday
through Friday. There would be one evening board meeting each month on
Thursday nights.
The garage and lot would not be used for any equipment storage, and
customers would occasionally visit to fill out application forms. BAHFH and First
Lutheran Church had a lease and a mutual agreement to allow ingress and
egress across the church’s property.
DeKraai inquired if the proposed use would generate more traffic than
the previous use. Swain did not believe it would. Kurtz asked about the lease.
Swain responded that if the lease is terminated, the house must be moved or
demolished. Heuton asked if 8th Street was a collector street. Hanson replied yes.
Cameron asked if BAHFH employees would park in the driveway. Swain
answered that they would use the church’s parking lot.
Item #6 – Hanson stated that adjoining land had been annexed in 1967, 1991,
and 1993. The parcel consisted of about 83 acres.
Kurtz noted that the area met the annexation criteria and was included
for development in the Vision 2020 Future Land Use Plan.
The meeting was adjourned.
