SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Al Heuton called the regular meeting of the City Planning
Commission to order on June 7, 2011, at 7:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City
Hall. Members present were Wayne Avery, Donna DeKraai, Alan Gregg, John
Sydow, and Heuton. Hal Bailey, Mike Cameron, Greg Fargen, and John
Gustafson were absent. Others present were Scott Hodges, John Folkerts,
Beverly Dobbs, Community Development Director Mike Struck, City Engineer
Jackie Lanning, Planning and Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson, and others.
Item #3a – Gregg inquired about a drainage plan. Lanning replied that the City
was in the process of developing the plan. She noted that 2/3 of the land flows
west. Therefore, a regional detention pond would be designed along the west
edge. The remaining drainage would be directed to a smaller pond on the east
side.
Item #3b – Scott Hodges, representing BlairHill Properties, LLC, was present to
answer any questions. Hanson stated that the plat was identical to the
approved preliminary plat.
Item #4 – The following people were in attendance to discuss the application for
a Conditional Use by R & B Properties, LLC:
Cheryl Schrader 712 4th Street 697-5974
Mel Schrader 712 4th Street 697-5974
Linda Hoffelt 609 5th Street 692-4549

Bob Fishback 423 8th Street 692-5273
Elizabeth Gabriella 1211 3rd Street 695-1237
Item #5 – Hanson pointed out several elements of the preliminary plan were
addressed in the staff report. He recommended that Acadia Avenue be
widened to 70 feet since it had the potential for serving as a collector street.

The lots had sufficient size to meet the local R-1A District regulations and state
requirements for individual wastewater systems.
Heuton asked if future platting may result in reduced lot areas. Folkerts felt
development was more probable after the land was annexed. This would also
provide for a municipal sewer system which would allow smaller lots.
Item #6 – Hanson summarized the information that had been compiled
regarding the south campus neighborhood. The Planning Commission had
discussed this area at several previous meetings. Two areas were proposed for
inclusion on the Future Land Use Map as future business districts. One (1) acre
abutted Medary Avenue which was classified as a minor arterial street. The
majority of the block was currently zoned for business. The other area would
extend the current business district north of 14th Avenue to 7th Street. This area
had become depressed through a lack of maintenance to certain properties.
Beverly Dobbs, 131 Jefferson Avenue, asked if apartments could be
constructed in the business district. Hanson replied that some business districts
permitted apartments, but it would typically be allowed only by Conditional
Use.
Heuton noted that the housing on 14th Avenue was rundown compared
to housing on Medary Avenue. He wanted to revisit the information from the
May meeting before deciding. DeKraai remarked that changes were
continuing to take place in the neighborhood with the redesign of 13th Avenue
next to the parking lot and the purchase of additional property by SDSU.
The meeting was adjourned.
