Subject: Sole Source Justification for the Purchase of the Asphalt Zipper bucket mounted
portable Asphalt Milling / Pulverizing / Reclamation / Trenching line of High Powered
Attachment Machines and replacement parts.
To Whom It May Concern:
Asphalt Zipper, Inc. (“AZI”) is the sole manufacturer of the Asphalt Zipper line of bucket-
mounted portable machines. These models include the AZ 212, AZ 300, AZ 360, AZ 400, AZ
500, AZ600, AZ800 and other models. Asphalt Zipper machines are very portable (each is
transported on its own custom transport/storage trailer) and powerful (each is powered by its own
independent EPA compliant turbo diesel engine or EPA compliant gasoline engine) and each
feature our patented “Versa Mount” universal bucket mounting / hydraulic bucket clamping
system.
The proprietary designs, features and manufacture of all Asphalt Zipper bucket mounted
attachments are protected by United States Patents #7036252, #7066555 and #7144087 with other
U.S., Canadian and other international patents pending. This patented bucket mount system
allows the Asphalt Zipper to be mounted to a wide variety of front-end loaders, and backhoes.
This benefit not only gives our customers the ability to use different loaders or backhoes on the
job site, but also if the customer’s host equipment breaks down the Asphalt Zipper can easily be
mounted to a rental or loaner loader or backhoe. There are other companies that manufacture
asphalt pulverizing or grinding machines that are either self-propelled, self-powered or draw
power from the hydraulics of host equipment.
Also, the component replacement parts are unique to Asphalt Zipper and its proprietary designs
and are supplied by Asphalt Zipper direct to owners of our equipment.
No other attachment self-powered Asphalt pulverizing machine uses a bucket mounting or bucket
clamping system. Asphalt Zipper, Inc. has been manufacturing self-powered bucket mounted
attachment machines since 1994 and has manufactured and sold over 2,300 machines in North
America.
In the United States, Asphalt Zipper, attachment machines are sold factory direct to each
customer through Asphalt Zipper’s factory based and locally based sales employees. This unique
sales approach allows Asphalt Zipper to sell to customers all across the United States at the same
low price.
The vast majority of Asphalt Zipper customers report complete satisfaction with the capability
and affordability of owning and operating their Asphalt Zipper machines.
Respectfully,
Douglas M. Angus
General Manager & CFO

We have been in contact with Bowes and they have requested we hold a pre-construction meeting in

Discussion and possible action on Resolution 17-041, a Resolution amending the City of Brookings
Investment Policy pertaining to local bidding preference.
Summary:
This amendment would provide specific criteria which would allow qualified local financial institutions
a preference when awarding investment bids. Section 6.3 is amended to add a provision that would
allow the closest, non-successful, local bidder the opportunity to match the high, non-local bidder.
This post-bid match opportunity would only occur when the high bidder was a non-local institution.
There would be no preference recognized among all local bidders. The purpose of this is to strike a
balance between giving local financial institutions credit for their community investments to the local
economy and still preserving the fiduciary responsibility of attempting to receive the highest rate of
return possible.

1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of “The City of Brookings Investment Policy” is to set investment
objectives, policies, establish guidelines, and define responsibilities for the
investment of funds for the City of Brookings.
2.0 POLICY
The policy of the City of Brookings is to invest idle public funds in a manner
based upon state law, that will provide the maximum security, sufficient liquidity,
and competitive investment return to meet the daily cash flow demands of the
City. The primary goals are:
A. To ensure compliance with all Federal, State, and local laws governing the
investment of public funds under the control of the City Manager.
B. To protect the principal monies entrusted to the City’s Finance
Department.
C. Achieve a reasonable rate of return within the parameters of prudent risk
management while minimizing the potential for capital losses arising from
market changes or issuer default.
3.0 SCOPE
This policy applies to the investment of all funds of Brookings, South Dakota.
Except for funds held in trust or special funds that are otherwise specifically
provided for, the city will consolidate the balances from all funds to maximize
investment
3.1 Pooling of Funds
Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds the City of Brookings will
consolidate cash balances from all funds, including utilities and hospital, to
maximize investment earnings and meet the liquidity requirements of the city
subject to the primary objective of providing security of principal. Investment
income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective
participation of capital in the overall portfolio in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
4.0 OBJECTIVE
Pursuant to South Dakota Codified Law, Chapter 4-5-8 it is the policy of the City
of Brookings to invest funds in a manner to meet the daily cash flow demands of
the City. The primary objectives, in priority order, being: a) Safety of Principal b)
Liquidity c) Return on Investments:
3
A) Safety of Principal
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the
preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to
mitigate the following risks.
1. Credit Risk
The City of Brookings will minimize credit risk, which is the risk of
loss due to the failure of the investment issuer or backer, by limiting
the portfolio to the types of investments listed in section8.
Authorized and Suitable Investments of this policy and diversifying
the investment portfolio to diminish the impact of potential losses
from any one type of investment or from any one individual issuer.
2. Interest Rate Risk
The City of Brookings will minimize interest rate risk, which is the
risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to
changes in market interest rates, by structuring the portfolio to meet
the cash requirements of ongoing operations, thereby mitigating the
need to liquidate securities at a loss prior to maturity.
3. Concentration Risk
The City of Brookings will minimize Concentration of Credit Risk,
which is the risk of loss due to having a significant portion of
resources invested in a single issuer, by diversifying the investment
portfolio as described in section11. Diversification so the impact of
potential losses from any one type of security or issuer will be
minimized. Investments issued or explicitly guaranteed by the U.S.
government and investments in mutual funds, external investment
pools, and other pooled investments are excluded from this
requirement.
4. Custodial Credit Risk
The City of Brookings will minimize Custodial Credit Risk for
deposits, which is the risk that in the event of the failure of a
depository financial institution the deposits or collateral securities
that are in the possession of an outside party would not be able to
be recovered, as addressed in section10. Collateralization.
The City of Brookings will minimize Custodial Credit Risk for
investments, which is the risk that in the event of the failure of the
counterparty to a transaction the value or collateral securities that
are in the possession of an outside party would not be able to be
recovered, as addressed in section9. Safekeeping and Custody.
4
B) Liquidity
The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all
operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is
accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature
concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity).
Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the
portfolio should include securities with active secondary or resale
markets (dynamic liquidity). Alternatively, a portion of the portfolio may be
placed in money market mutual funds or local government investment
pools which offer same-day liquidity for short-term funds.
C) Return on Investments
The portfolio shall be designed to obtain a reasonable rate of return
throughout budgetary and economic cycles. The return on investments is
to be accorded secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity
objectives described above. The core of investments will focus on
relatively low risk securities with an expectation of earning a reasonable
return relative to the risk being assumed. Securities shall not be sold prior
to maturity, with the following exceptions:
A security with declining value may be sold early to minimize loss of
principal.
A security may be exchanged to improve the quality, yield, or target
duration in the portfolio.
A security may be sold in order to satisfy liquidity requirements.
When selling a security prior to maturity, the City Manager shall provide an
explanation for any gains or losses.
Policy compliance does not provide a benchmark to meet or exceed, but is
a model to follow. The City will benchmark its portfolio performance to the
appropriate “treasuries constant maturity” rate based on portfolio
maturities of the investment plan.
5.0 Standard of Care
5.1 Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the
"prudent person" standard and shall be applied in the context of managing
an overall portfolio. Investment officers, acting in accordance with written
procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall
be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk
or market price changes.
The “prudent person” standard states that “Investments shall be made
with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which
5
persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the
management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment,
considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable
income to be derived.”
5.2 Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain
from personal business activity that could conflict with the proper
execution and management of the investment program, or that could
impair their ability to make impartial decisions. Employees and investment
officials shall disclose any material interests in financial institutions with
which they conduct business. They shall further disclose any personal
financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of
the investment portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from
undertaking personal investment transactions with the same individual
with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City of Brookings.
The City Investment program shall be managed in a professional and prudent
manner worthy of the public trust and review.

investment transactions resides with the City Manager. The Finance
Director, under the general direction of the City Manager, shall be

his/her ability to make impartial decisions. The Finance Director acting in

risk or market price changes, provided deviations form expectations are
reported in a timely fashion and the liquidity and the sale of investments
are carried out in accordance with the terms of this policy. Investments
shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then
prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion, and intelligence
exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but
for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as
the probably income to be derived.

GLOSSARY
AGENCY: A debt security issued by a federal or federally sponsored agency. Federal
agencies are backed by the full faith and credit of the U. S. Government. Federally
sponsored agencies (FSAs) are backed by each particular agency with a market
perception that there is an implicit government guarantee. An example of a federal
agency is the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA). An example of an
FSA is the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA).
BENCHMARK: A comparative base for measuring the performance or risk tolerance of
the investment portfolio. A benchmark should represent a close correlation to the level
of risk and the average duration of the portfolio’s investment.
BROKER: A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a commission.
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT (CD): A time deposit with a specific maturity evidenced
by a certificate. Large-denomination CDs are typically negotiable.
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNT REGISTRY SERVICE (CDARS): A program
with an approved depository that removes the need for collateral by providing full FDIC
insurance for certificates of deposit.
COLLATERAL: Securities, evidence of deposit or other property which a borrower
pledges to secure repayment of a loan. Also refers to securities pledged by a bank to
secure deposits of public monies.
COUPON: (a) The annual rate of interest that a bond’s issuer promises to pay the
bondholder on the bond’s face value. (b) A certificate attached to a bond evidencing
interest due on a payment date.
CREDIT RISK: The risk to an investor that an issuer will default in the payment of
interest and/or principal on a security.
DELIVERY VERSUS PAYMENT: There are two methods of delivery of securities:
delivery versus payment and delivery versus receipt. Delivery versus payment is
delivery of securities with an exchange of money for the securities. Delivery versus
receipt is delivery of securities with an exchange of a signed receipt for the securities.
DIVERSIFICATION: Dividing investment funds among a variety of securities offering
independent returns.
DURATION: A measure of the timing of the cash flows, such as the interest payments
and the principal repayment, to be received from a given fixed-income security. This
calculation is based on three variables; term to maturity, coupon rate, and yield to
11
maturity. The duration of a security is a useful indicator of its price volatility for given
changes in interest rates.
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION (FDIC): A federal agency that
insures bank deposits, currently up to $100,000 per deposit.
FIDUCIARY: Person, company, or association holding assets in trust of a beneficiary.
INVESTMENT POLICY: A concise and clear statement of the objectives and
parameters formulated by an investor or investment manager for a portfolio of
investment securities.
LIQUIDITY: A liquid asset is one that can be converted easily and rapidly into cash
without a substantial loss of value. In the money market, a security is said to be liquid if
the spread between bid and asked prices is narrow and reasonable size can be done at
those quotes.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT POOL (LGIP): The aggregate of all funds from
political subdivisions that are placed in the custody of the State Treasurer for investment
and reinvestment.
MARKET RISK: The risk that the value of a security will rise or decline as a result of
changes in market conditions.
MARKET VALUE: The price at which a security is trading and could presumably be
purchased or sold.
MATURITY: The date upon which the principal or stated value of an investment
becomes due and payable.
MONEY MARKET:The market in which short-term debt instruments (bills, commercial
paper, bankers’ acceptances, etc.) are issued and traded.
PORTFOLIO: Collection of securities held by an investor.
PRUDENT PERSON RULE: An investment standard. In some states the law requires
that a fiduciary, such as a trustee, may invest money only in a list of securities selected
by the custody state---the so-called legal list. In other states the trustee may invest in a
security if it is one which would be bought by a prudent person of discretion and
intelligence who is seeking a reasonable income and preservation of capital.
QUALIFIED PUBLIC DEPOSITORIES: A financial institution which does not claim
exemption from the payment of any sales or compensating use or ad valorem taxes
under the laws of this state, which has segregated for the benefit of the commission
eligible collateral having a value of not less than its maximum liability and which has
been approved by the Public Deposit Protection Commission to hold public deposits.
12
RATE OF RETURN: The yield obtainable on a security based on its purchase price or
its current market price. This may be the amortized yield to maturity.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (RP OR REPO): A holder of securities sells these
securities to an investor with an agreement to repurchase them at a fixed price on a
fixed date. The security “buyer” in effect lends the “seller” money for the period of the

Dealers use RP extensively to finance their positions. Exception: When the Fed is said
to be doing RP, it is lending money that is, increasing bank reserves.
SAFEKEEPING: A service to customers rendered by banks for a fee whereby
securities and valuables of all types and descriptions are held in the bank’s vaults for
protection.
SPECULATION:Assumption of risk in anticipation of gain but recognizing a higher
than average possibility of loss.

Treasury to finance the national debt. Most bills are issued to mature in three months,
six months, or one year.

direct obligations of the U. S. Government and having initial maturities of more than ten
years.
TREASURY NOTES: Medium-term coupon-bearing U. S. Treasury securities issued as
direct obligations of the U. S. Government and having initial maturities from two to ten
years.
VOLATILITY: A degree of fluctuation in the price and valuation of securities.

The vacant property is located at the intersection of Main Avenue South and 32 nd Street South of the
northeast side. The land was zoned B-2 in 2011 and the lots were platted in 2015. The B-2 District

OFFICIAL MINUTES
Chairperson Al Heuton called the regular meeting of the City Planning Commission to
order on Tuesday, April 4, 2017, at 5:30 PM in the Chambers Room #310 on the third
floor of the City & County Government Center. Members present were Tanner Aiken,
James Drew, Greg Fargen, Alan Gregg, Alan Johnson, Ryan Murphy, Lee Ann Pierce,
Kristi Tornquist and Al Heuton. Also present were City Planner Staci Bungard,
Community Development Director Mike Struck, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, John
Mills, Dustin Beringer, Branch Supervisor at Graybar, and others.
Item #5a –David Jones, Jason Merkley, Foerster Testing Limited, LLC and Prairie
Hills, LLC has submitted a petition to rezone Lots 4, 5, & 6, Block 17, Prairie Hills
Addition and the SW1/4 of the SE1/4 excluding platted area, in Section 2-T109N-r50W
from a Business B-2 District to a Business B-3 Heavy District.
(Pierce/Fargen) Motion to approve the rezone request. Tornquist voted no. All others
voted aye. MOTION CARRIED.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #5a–John Mills explained that this request is to coincide with a request for a use
that wasn’t allowed in the current B-2 zoning. Pierce wondered what other heavy
business uses could be allowed if the rezone request is approved. John explained that
the B-3 zoning would allow retail use that might have a lot of inventory outside or
equipment sales. Bungard stated that temporary storage facilities would be allowed, a
contractor shop, a lumber yard, and a motor vehicle and repair shop. Tornquist
wondered if a better option would be to keep the zoning as a B-2, but allow certain
Conditional Uses? Heuton doesn’t feel that there will be much development to the
South or East and that protecting this area with zoning probably isn’t necessary. Struck
explained that all the B-2 Zoning uses are still allowed in the B-3 Zoning, with some
additional uses. In addition, there have been people looking for land which is zoned B-
3.

Introduction and First Reading on Ordinance 17-010, an Ordinance pertaining to a Conditional Use
Permit for outdoor storage, on Lot 3 Le Fevre Addition, also known as 3100 6th Street. Public
Hearing: May 9, 2017.
Summary:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to establish a storage yard for Graybar in a
Business B-3 Heavy District.
Background:
The property is located along Lefevre Drive south of 6th Street. Graybar is an existing business that
sells electrical materials to contractors and it is classified as a wholesale business in the B-3 District.
The B-3 District allows for an outdoor storage yard as a conditional use with the following standards:
Such uses shall screen all outdoor storage from adjacent properties. Outdoor storage shall not be
located in the front yard or stacked higher than the fence height. Any lighting of the storage yard
shall not cause a glare onto residential properties. Internal circulation shall be provided for loading
and unloading areas.
The site plan shows the outdoor storage area in the rear yard with a six (6) foot high fence
surrounding the storage area. All truck delivering supplies will be using an internal circulation pattern.
A conditional use is defined as a use which, because of its unique or varying characteristics, cannot
be properly classified as a permitted use in a particular district. After due consideration, as provided
in this chapter, of the impacts of such use upon neighboring land and of the public need for the
particular use at a particular location, such conditional use may or may not be granted.

OFFICIAL MINUTES
Chairperson Al Heuton called the regular meeting of the City Planning Commission to
order on Tuesday, April 4, 2017, at 5:30 PM in the Chambers Room #310 on the third
floor of the City & County Government Center. Members present were Tanner Aiken,
James Drew, Greg Fargen, Alan Gregg, Alan Johnson, Ryan Murphy, Lee Ann Pierce,
Kristi Tornquist and Al Heuton. Also present were City Planner Staci Bungard,
Community Development Director Mike Struck, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, John
Mills, Dustin Beringer, Branch Supervisor at Graybar, and others.
Item #6a – John Mills has submitted an application for Conditional Use on Lot 3,
LeFevre Addition, also known as 3100 6th Street. The request is to establish an outdoor
storage yard as part of a wholesale trade business.
(Pierce/Fargen) Motion to approve the Conditional Use application. All present voted
aye. MOTION CARRIED.
(Tornquist/Pierce) Amendment to the motion to require that the fencing be slat fencing
and 8’ in height. The motion as amended was voted on. All present voted aye.
MOTION CARRIED.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #6a–John Mills explained that due to the construction work that the SDDOT is
completing, the service road to Graybar is going to be removed. With the removal of
this service road, Graybar needed to complete some changes to their current building
and a loading dock had to be moved to the west side of their building on the southwest
corner to allow for proper ingress and egress. Jon explained that during the
remodel/construction phase, Graybar decided to explore some other business options
and one of those was to store a variety of pipe and conduit on racks, outdoors. With
this, they are needing to establish a storage yard for Graybar in a Business B-3 District.
A storage yard is allowed with a Conditional Use permit. Heuton wondered what type of
fencing will be utilized. John explained that they planned for an 8 foot high, chain link
fence. Tornquist is concerned that the storage will not be screened from the public with
a 6 foot chain link fence. And she feels that the storage area should be completely
screened with a slat fence. Jon noted that the neighbors have fences that do not block
the view 100%.

Introduction and First Reading on Ordinance 17-012, an Ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance
of the City of Brookings pertaining to Section 94-1 Definition of Yard, Primary Front, for the purposes
of administration of the Zoning Ordinance. Public Hearing: May 9, 2017.
Summary:
The City of Brookings is requesting an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to allow greater flexibility
in establishing the primary front yard in a corner lot situation.
Background:
Currently the ordinance states the primary front yard is the narrower front yard on a corner lot and the
rear yard is opposite from and most nearly parallel to the primary front yard. Recently, a contractor
presented a case to the Board of Adjustment due to the primary front yard definition. After the
meeting, several board members recommended staff research other zoning ordinances to see if
some flexibility could be permitted in determining the primary front yard, which in turn determines the
rear yard. The rear yard setback is typically greater than the side yard setback distance.
The proposed ordinance amendment would allow the owner to determine the primary front yard, with
the consent of the Community Development Department, at the time the primary structure is
permitted. The primary front yard would be documented in the building file and would remain for the
life of the primary structure. Any subsequent accessory structures or additions to the primary
structure would need to comply with the primary front yard established with the original permit for the
primary structure. The ordinance amendment is designed to allow some flexibility for the placement
of structures on corner lots while maintaining the general character for the neighborhood.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission voted 9-0 to recommend approval of the zoning ordinance amendment.

Public Hearing and Action on Ordinance 17-008, an Ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance of
the City of Brookings and pertaining to Section 94-396 Wireless Communication Facilities for the
purpose of administration of the Zoning Ordinance.
Summary:
The City of Brookings is proposing an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance primarily to include
definitions and regulations for Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and Small Cell Facilities.
Background:
The current ordinance pertaining to wireless communication facilities was most recently revised in
2005. Due to new technology and changes within the industry an amendment is necessary. The
ordinance amendment allows for smaller wireless facilities, such as those needed for cell phone
service.
New telecommunication facility poles may be built to a maximum of 35 feet in height when located
within the public right-of-way or to a height consistent with adjacent utility or street light poles. New
facilities may be co-located on existing poles without a height restriction. The ordinance requires a
permit issued by City staff for any new wireless communication facility to ensure the requirements are
met.
SDN Communications provided some information that is included in the attachments. There is

the siting of wireless communication facilities (WCFs) in a manner that will protect the
public's health, safety, and welfare and maintain the aesthetic integrity of the
community.
(1)Permit required.An application for a building permit is required prior to the
construction of any WCF. Compliance with all applicable building codes,
navigation hazard requirements, Federal Aviation Administration Regulations
and section 94-164 must be achieved before a permit will be issued.
(2)Definitions.The following definitions shall apply:
Amateur radio operator tower:A structure used for the transmission, broadcast
or reception of amateur radio or citizen band signals.
Antenna:Any device that radiates or captures electromagnetic wave signals
including digital and analog voice and data signals or video or microwave signals.
Antenna support structure:An existing building or structure such as, but not
limited to, utility poles, signs, elevated water tanks and steeples that support
wireless communications facilities.

broadcast communications. This term does not include offices or studios.
Co-location/site sharing:Use of an antenna support structure or
telecommunications tower by two or more wireless license holders or by one
wireless license holder for more than one type of communication. This includes the
placement of a WCF on a structure owned and operated by a municipal or public
utility.
Distributed Antenna System (DAS): A system consisting of: (1) a number of
remote communications nodes deployed throughout the desired coverage area,
each including at least one antenna for transmission and reception; (2) a high
capacity signal transport medium (typically fiber optic cable) connecting each node
to a central communications hub site; and (3) radio transceivers located at the hub
site (rather than at each individual node as is the case for small cells) to process or
control the communications signals transmitted and received through the antennas.
Equipment facility:A structure used to contain ancillary equipment for a WCF,
such as cables, wires, lines, cabinets, pedestals and similar devices.
Height:The distance measured from the original grade to the highest point on
the WCF, including the antenna(s).
Small Cell Facility:A wireless service facility that either meets both of the
following qualifications or is within a stealth design that is consistent with the design
guidelines:
1. Each antenna is located inside an enclosure of no more than five (5) cubic
feet in volume or, in the case of an antenna that has exposed elements, the
antenna and all of its exposed elements could fit within an enclosure of no
more than five (5) cubic feet, however, the maximum dimensions of the
antenna shall not exceed 36” in height and 16” in diameter; and
2. Primary equipment enclosures are no larger than seventeen (17) cubic feet in
volume. The following associated equipment may be located outside of the
primary equipment enclosure and, if so located, is not included in the
calculation of equipment volume: electric meter, concealment,
telecommunications demarcation box, underground enclosures, back-up
power systems, grounding equipment, power transfer switch, and cut-off
switch.

neighborhood environment at a given location and the ability to camouflage or
conceal the presence of wireless communication facilities when attached to antenna
support structures.
Telecommunications tower:Any pole, spire, structure or combination thereof,
including supporting lines, cables, wires, braces and mast, designed and
constructed primarily for the purpose of supporting one (1) or more antennas,
including self supporting lattice towers, guyed towers or monopole towers. A
communication tower may include, but not be limited to, radio and television
transmission towers, microwave towers, common carrier towers, cellular telephone
towers and personal communication service towers.
Temporary WCF:A WCF that is placed in service for less than 180 days.
Wireless communications facilities:One or more antenna, tower, base station,
mechanical and/or electronic equipment, conduit, cable, fiber, wire, and associated
structures, enclosures, assemblages, devices and supporting elements that
generate, transmit or produce a signal used for communication that is proposed by
an entity other than the Metropolitan Government, including but not limited to
radio/tv/satellite and broadcast towers, telephone service, including new microwave
or cellular towers, PWSF, DAS, small cell facilities and COW’s.
(3)Siting and co-location criteria.The siting and co-location of all WCFs shall be
subject to the following criteria before consideration will be given to a new site:
a. WCFs shall be located on existing antenna support structures, such as
utility poles, light poles, signs, elevated water tanks, buildings and other
WCFs; or
b. WCFs shall co-locate or site share upon existing telecommunication towers;
or
c.WCFs shall consider the use of public property and structures.
d. If an applicant has shown a good faith effort to co-locate but has found it not
to be feasible, a written statement indicating the reasons why co-location is
not feasible shall be provided.
(4)Application requirements.The following information is required prior to the siting
of all WCFs. Installing antenna(s) on existing WCFs and amateur radio operator
towers are exempt from these requirements.
a. In business and industrial districts, a scaled drawing or aerial map, showing
the subject property and all properties within one and one-half times the
height of the proposed tower and the location of all existing buildings and
structures, and the exact location of the tower and equipment facility. In
residential districts, a WCF on an existing antenna support structure shall
be considered through administrative review. A proposed
telecommunication tower shall be considered through the conditional use
permit process. An application shall be accompanied by a scaled drawing
or aerial map showing the subject property and all properties within three
times the height of the proposed tower and the location of all existing
buildings and structures and the exact location of the tower and equipment
facility.
b. Written documentation under a licensed engineer's stamp verifying the
need for a guyed-lattice tower when no other means of antenna support
structure is available due to technical engineering constraints.
(5)Development standards.
a.Location and setback.
1.Antenna:Antenna(s) that are attached to support structures are exempt
from the setback requirements in the district in which they are located.
The antenna(s) may extend up to five feet horizontally beyond the edge
of the support structure provided it does not encroach over the property
line.
2.Telecommunication towers:A telecommunication tower shall meet the
setback requirements for the district in which it is located. A
telecommunication tower shall also be constructed on a lot so that it is
as far away as possible from existing off-site buildings, and in no event
nearer to any residential building than a distance of one hundred
percent of the height of the tower. A telecommunications tower shall not
be closer to a residential district boundary line than one hundred
percent of its height. Where telecommunication towers are required to
meet FAA paint and/or lighting regulations, the distance between them
shall not be less than one-half mile.
3.Equipment facilities:All equipment facilities shall meet the setback
requirements for the district in which they are located.
4.Amateur radio operator tower:All amateur radio operator towers shall
meet the setback requirements for the district in which they are located.
b.Height.
1. Antenna(s) attached to antenna support structures may not add more
than 20 feet in height to the existing building or structure to which it is
attached. In residential districts, the maximum height including the
antenna support structure and the antenna(s) is 100 feet.
2. Telecommunication towers:
(i) In all industrial districts the maximum height is 200 feet.
(ii) In all business districts, except the RB-4, B-2A and B-5 districts, the
maximum height is 100 feet.
(iii) In the agricultural/conservation district, as depicted on the adopted
future land use plan, the maximum height is 200 feet.
(iv) In residential districts, the maximum height shall be determined
through the conditional use permit process.
3. Amateur radio operator towers shall have a maximum height of 35 feet.
Exception: For every one additional foot in from the side or rear building
setback lines, one additional foot in height may be added, to a
maximum height of 60 feet.
4. Broadcast towers may be erected to a height as approved by the city
council upon conditional use review.
c.Screening and landscaping.Telecommunication tower sites and equipment
facilities shall be screened when there exists a clear view from adjacent
residential uses. A fence, wall, berm, shrubbery or tree plantings shall be
installed to a sufficient height along the perimeter or in appropriate areas in
order to reduce the visual impact of the tower base and buildings. Existing
mature tree growth and natural landforms shall be preserved to the
maximum extent possible and may be a sufficient buffer. If a chainlink fence
is erected, the fence shall have wood or plastic slats woven into the fence,
open mesh windscreens installed or additional shrubbery or tree plantings
located outside the fence.
d.Illumination.Towers shall not be artificially lighted unless required by the
FAA or other governing authority. Security or safety lighting for equipment
facilities is permitted.
e.Design.Towers shall be of a neutral color unless otherwise required by the
FAA. Antenna(s) installed on support structures shall be of a neutral color
that is the same as or compatible with the support structure. Buildings and
other structures shall be made of exterior materials and colors that will
blend the facilities to the natural setting and built environment. In residential
districts, aesthetics is a high priority. Therefore, only a monopole design
shall be permitted. In addition, incorporating stealth design into the tower
and equipment facilities whenever possible will be an important factor in the
review of any conditional use permit application.
f.Maintenance.Telecommunication towers, antenna support structures, and
WCFs shall be maintained in compliance with Electronic Industries
Association/Telecommunications Industries Association Standard (EIA/TIA)
222 Revision F Standard entitled "Structural Standards for Steel Antenna
Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures" as it may be updated or
amended.
g.Abandonment.Any wireless communication facility that is no longer in use
shall be reported to the city by the facility owner. If a WCF is not operated
for a continuous period of 12 months, it shall be considered abandoned and
the owner shall remove the WCF within six months.
h.Development Standards for Small Cell Facilities and Distributed Antenna
Systems (DAS):
1. The applicant shall demonstrate that through location, construction, or
stealthing, the proposed facility or network of facilities will have
minimum visual impact upon the appearance of adjacent properties
and the views from adjacent residential neighborhoods and the
pedestrian environment, while retaining viable opportunities for future
collocation, provided applications for designs consistent with the
design guidelines provided for in subsection 5.e of this section shall be
deemed to have met the requirement of this subsection.
2.Documentation of the number of other users that can be
accommodated within the design parameters of the
telecommunications facility as proposed.
3.A statement indicating the owner's commitment to allow feasible
shared use of the facility within its design capacity for collocation.
4.The proposed site plan and design plans meet or exceed all applicable
standards, including without limitation those of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), American National Standards
Institute (ANSI), and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) standards for power density levels and structural integrity,
American Concrete Institute (ACI), American Standards Testing and
Materials Institute (ASTM), the National Electrical Code, and the
American Steel Institute. The telecommunications facility must comply
with building codes and other federal, state, and local regulations,
Applicant must also comply with applicable Historic Preservation
ordinances of the City.
5. With respect to telecommunication facilities within public rights-of-way.
a. Support structures and above-ground transmission equipment
shall be located outside the pedestrian portion of any sidewalk.
b. New telecommunication facility support structures may not be
erected to a height greater than the height surrounding utility
poles or street lights, whichever is greater. If no utility poles are
present, the total height shall be built to a maximum height of
35’, including antennas, lightning rods or other extensions. All
new proposed structures, or a stealth telecommunications
support structure replacing an existing support structure or
alternative structure, within the right-of-way shall be designed
for a minimum of two wireless communication facility providers.

public's health, safety, and welfare and maintain the aesthetic integrity of the
community.
(1)Permit required.An application for a building permit is required prior to the
construction of any WCF. Compliance with all applicable building codes,
navigation hazard requirements, Federal Aviation Administration Regulations
and section 94-164 must be achieved before a permit will be issued.
(2)Definitions.The following definitions shall apply:
Amateur radio operator tower:A structure used for the transmission, broadcast
or reception of amateur radio or citizen band signals.
Antenna:Any device that radiates or captures electromagnetic wave signals
including digital and analog voice and data signals or video or microwave signals.
Antenna support structure:An existing building or structure such as, but not
limited to, utility poles, signs, elevated water tanks and steeples that support
wireless communications facilities.
Broadcast tower:A structure for the transmission of radio or television
broadcast communications. This term does not include offices or studios.
Co-location/site sharing:Use of an antenna support structure or
telecommunications tower by two or more wireless license holders or by one
wireless license holder for more than one type of communication. This includes the
placement of a WCF on a structure owned and operated by a municipal or public
utility.
Distributed Antenna System (DAS): A system consisting of: (1) a number of
remote communications nodes deployed throughout the desired coverage area,
each including at least one antenna for transmission and reception; (2) a high
capacity signal transport medium (typically fiber optic cable) connecting each node
to a central communications hub site; and (3) radio transceivers located at the hub
site (rather than at each individual node as is the case for small cells) to process or
control the communications signals transmitted and received through the antennas.
Equipment facility:A structure used to contain ancillary equipment for a WCF,
such as cables, wires, lines, cabinets, pedestals and similar devices.
Height:The distance measured from the original grade to the highest point on
the WCF, including the antenna(s).
Small Cell Facility:A wireless service facility that either meets both of the
following qualifications or is within a stealth design that is consistent with the design
guidelines:
1. Each antenna is located inside an enclosure of no more than five (5) cubic
feet in volume or, in the case of an antenna that has exposed elements, the
antenna and all of its exposed elements could fit within an enclosure of no
more than five (5) cubic feet, however, the maximum dimensions of the
antenna shall not exceed 36” in height and 16” in diameter; and
2. Primary equipment enclosures are no larger than seventeen (17) cubic feet in
volume. The following associated equipment may be located outside of the
primary equipment enclosure and, if so located, is not included in the
calculation of equipment volume: electric meter, concealment,
telecommunications demarcation box, underground enclosures, back-up
power systems, grounding equipment, power transfer switch, and cut-off
switch.
Small Cell Network: A collection of interrelated small cell facilities designed to

neighborhood environment at a given location and the ability to camouflage or
conceal the presence of wireless communication facilities when attached to antenna
support structures.
Telecommunications tower:A self-supporting structure designed and
constructed specifically to support antenna(s) and may include a lattice, guyed-
lattice, monopole or similar structure. This term does not include towers attached to
existing buildings or structures. Any pole, spire, structure or combination thereof,
including supporting lines, cables, wires, braces and mast, designed and
constructed primarily for the purpose of supporting one (1) or more antennas,
including self supporting lattice towers, guyed towers or monopole towers. A
communication tower may include, but not be limited to, radio and television
transmission towers, microwave towers, common carrier towers, cellular telephone
towers and personal communication service towers.
Temporary WCF:A WCF that is placed in service for less than 180 days.
Wireless communications facilities:Any cables, wires, lines, antennas, antenna
arrays, shelters, towers or other equipment associated with the transmission or
reception of telecommunication signals. One or more antenna, tower, base station,
mechanical and/or electronic equipment, conduit, cable, fiber, wire, and associated
structures, enclosures, assemblages, devices and supporting elements that
generate, transmit or produce a signal used for communication that is proposed by
an entity other than the Metropolitan Government, including but not limited to
radio/tv/satellite and broadcast towers, telephone service, including new microwave
or cellular towers, PWSF, DAS, small cell facilities and COW’s.

to be infeasible, a written statement indicating the reasons why co-location
is not feasible shall be provided.
(4)Application requirements.The following information is required prior to the siting
of all WCFs. Installing antenna(s) on existing WCFs and amateur radio operator
towers are exempt from these requirements.
a. In business and industrial districts, a scaled drawing or aerial map, showing
the subject property and all properties within one and one-half times the
height of the proposed tower and the location of all existing buildings and
structures, and the exact location of the tower and equipment facility. In
residential districts, a WCF on an existing antenna support structure shall
be considered through administrative review. A proposed
telecommunication tower shall be considered through the conditional use
permit process. An application shall be accompanied by a scaled drawing
or aerial map showing the subject property and all properties within three
times the height of the proposed tower and the location of all existing
buildings and structures and the exact location of the tower and equipment
facility.
b. Written documentation under a licensed engineer's stamp verifying the
need for a guyed-lattice tower when no other means of antenna support
structure is available due to technical engineering constraints.
(5)Development standards.
a.Location and setback.
1.Antenna:Antenna(s) that are attached to support structures are exempt
from the setback requirements in the district in which they are located.
The antenna(s) may extend up to five feet horizontally beyond the edge
of the support structure provided it does not encroach over the property
line.
2.Telecommunication towers:A telecommunication tower shall meet the
setback requirements for the district in which it is located. A
telecommunication tower shall also be constructed on a lot so that it is
as far away as possible from existing off-site buildings, and in no event
nearer to any residential building than a distance of one hundred
percent of the height of the tower. A telecommunications tower shall not
be closer to a residential district boundary line than one hundred
percent of its height. Where telecommunication towers are required to
meet FAA paint and/or lighting regulations, the distance between them
shall not be less than one-half mile.
3.Equipment facilities:All equipment facilities shall meet the setback
requirements for the district in which they are located.
4.Amateur radio operator tower:All amateur radio operator towers shall
meet the setback requirements for the district in which they are located.
b.Height.
1. Antenna(s) attached to antenna support structures may not add more
than 20 feet in height to the existing building or structure to which it is
attached. In residential districts, the maximum height including the
antenna support structure and the antenna(s) is 100 feet.
2. Telecommunication towers:
(i) In all industrial districts the maximum height is 200 feet.
(ii) In all business districts, except the RB-4, B-2A and B-5 districts, the
maximum height is 100 feet.
(iii) In the agricultural/conservation district, as depicted on the adopted
future land use plan, the maximum height is 200 feet.
(iv) In residential districts, the maximum height shall be determined
through the conditional use permit process.
3. Amateur radio operator towers shall have a maximum height of 35 feet.
Exception: For every one additional foot in from the side or rear building
setback lines, one additional foot in height may be added, to a
maximum height of 60 feet.
4. Broadcast towers may be erected to a height as approved by the city
council upon conditional use review.
c.Screening and landscaping.Telecommunication tower sites and equipment
facilities shall be screened when there exists a clear view from adjacent
residential uses. A fence, wall, berm, shrubbery or tree plantings shall be
installed to a sufficient height along the perimeter or in appropriate areas in
order to reduce the visual impact of the tower base and buildings. Existing
mature tree growth and natural landforms shall be preserved to the
maximum extent possible and may be a sufficient buffer. If a chainlink fence
is erected, the fence shall have wood or plastic slats woven into the fence,
open mesh windscreens installed or additional shrubbery or tree plantings
located outside the fence.
d.Illumination.Towers shall not be artificially lighted unless required by the
FAA or other governing authority. Security or safety lighting for equipment
facilities is permitted.
e.Design.Towers shall be of a neutral color unless otherwise required by the
FAA. Antenna(s) installed on support structures shall be of a neutral color
that is the same as or compatible with the support structure. Buildings and
other structures shall be made of exterior materials and colors that will
blend the facilities to the natural setting and built environment. In residential
districts, aesthetics is a high priority. Therefore, only a monopole design
shall be permitted. In addition, incorporating stealth design into the tower
and equipment facilities whenever possible will be an important factor in the
review of any conditional use permit application.
f.Maintenance.Telecommunication towers, antenna support structures, and
WCFs shall be maintained in compliance with Electronic Industries
Association/Telecommunications Industries Association Standard (EIA/TIA)
222 Revision F Standard entitled "Structural Standards for Steel Antenna
Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures" as it may be updated or
amended.
g.Abandonment.Any wireless communication facility that is no longer in use
shall be reported to the city by the facility owner. If a WCF is not operated
for a continuous period of 12 months, it shall be considered abandoned and
the owner shall remove the WCF within six months.
h.Development Standards for Small Cell Facilities and Distributed Antenna
Systems (DAS):
1. The applicant shall demonstrate that through location, construction, or
stealthing, the proposed facility or network of facilities will have
minimum visual impact upon the appearance of adjacent properties
and the views from adjacent residential neighborhoods and the
pedestrian environment, while retaining viable opportunities for future
collocation, provided applications for designs consistent with the
design guidelines provided for in subsection 5.e of this section shall be
deemed to have met the requirement of this subsection.
2.Documentation of the number of other users that can be
accommodated within the design parameters of the
telecommunications facility as proposed.
3.A statement indicating the owner's commitment to allow feasible
shared use of the facility within its design capacity for collocation.
4.The proposed site plan and design plans meet or exceed all applicable
standards, including without limitation those of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), American National Standards
Institute (ANSI), and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) standards for power density levels and structural integrity,
American Concrete Institute (ACI), American Standards Testing and
Materials Institute (ASTM), the National Electrical Code, and the
American Steel Institute. The telecommunications facility must comply
with building codes and other federal, state, and local regulations,
Applicant must also comply with applicable Historic Preservation
ordinances of the City.
5. With respect to telecommunication facilities within public rights-of-way.
a. Support structures and above-ground transmission equipment
shall be located outside the pedestrian portion of any sidewalk.
b. New telecommunication facility support structures may not be
erected to a height greater than the height surrounding utility
poles or street lights, whichever is greater. If no utility poles are
present, the total height shall be built to a maximum height of
35’, including antennas, lightning rods or other extensions. All
new proposed structures, or a stealth telecommunications
support structure replacing an existing support structure or
alternative structure, within the right-of-way shall be designed
for a minimum of two wireless communication facility providers.
c. Telecommunication facilities shall be constructed consistent
with the design requirements of the Community Development
Department, and, where applicable, the Historic Preservation

Re: City of Brookings Proposed Ordinance 17-008 Amending Zoning Code Section 94-396 Wireless
Communication Facilities
Dear Council Members:
Our law firm has been retained by Verizon Wireless to represent it in its wireless network development in
Brookings and throughout the surrounding area. As part of that work, we have been asked to provide
comments regarding a draft ordinance that the City is considering. Recently, the Planning Commission
heard a presentation by Verizon Wireless's local fiber provider, SDN. We appreciate the opportunity to
provide these comments in preparation for the upcoming public hearing, as our client works to improve
wireless service in the City of Brookings.
Introduction. Forward thinking cities like Brookings recognize that small cells should be regulated
differently from traditional, macro installations. Small cells are an important tool for all carriers to expand
critical network capacity to meet consumer's ever-increasing telephone and data demands. Of course,
almost everyone has a cellphone, smartphone or tablet device that we rely on every day. In fact, nearly
50% of adults in the United States have only a wireless telephone, with no traditional landline telephone
at all.

adequate network capacity and fixing coverage gaps. created by topography or surrounding buildings.
Only by providing small cell facilities in relatively close proximity to its customers can Verizon Wireless
resolve these issues.
Wireless devices only work when there are antennas in relatively close proximity to the wireless caller.
Wireless voice and data services are in high demand in Brookings. Certainly, emergency responders such
as police and fire personnel use their devices when on the scene or traveling to it. But smartphones are
just as likely to be used by the average citizen - to check for storms while hunting, golfing or boating, to
read e-mail between innings of a little league game or even to get directions while visiting an unfamiliar
place. In order to work properly, the antennas need to be wherever the people are.
Recently, we received a copy of the proposed amendments to Section 94-396, which outlines how the
City intends to regulate small cell installations. Having reviewed the ordinance, we can see how much
time and careful thought has been devoted, and we have some additional information, as well as a few
suggestions, for your consideration.
Light poles are to be included as an antenna support structure, and replacement light poles
are not to be treated as new structures. As you can see from the enclosed redline, we have very
few revisions to recommend. These revisions stem from our experience with small cell deployment
throughout the upper Midwest during the past few years. In most cases small cells are best installed on
existing light poles, but standard light poles are not typically engineered to support additional equipment.
As a result, small cell installations often involve the replacement of streetlight poles in the right-of-way.
The City has defined "antenna support structure" as "an existing building or structure such as, but not
limited to utility poles, signs, elevated water tanks and steeples that support wireless communications
facilities." Our suggested revisions clarify that light poles would also qualify as an antenna support
structure, and that structures need not have existing antennas installed on them in order to qualify as an
antenna support structure under the ordinance. Also, because small cell installations often involve
replacement of an existing utility pole, sign, etc. we suggest language to further clarify that such a
replacement did not render the light pole as necessarily being classified as a "new" support structure,
which have less favorable treatment under the ordinance's siting preferences. In essence, this would
leave the city with the ability to take advantage of the size and location of its existing light poles to install
small cell antennas, even if the pole must be replaced in order to make this possible. The replacement
poles would always remain the property of the City, of course.
Sm all cell wires, cables or lines within the rights of w ay are excl uded from setbacks. Because
equipment facilities must meet setback requirements elsewhere in the existing code (see subdivision
(5)(3)), and since setback is often measured in terms of the location of the installation from a lot line that
borders a public right of way, it makes sense that the concept of setbacks should not apply to small cell
installations within the public right of way. Therefore, the enclosed redline includes a provision that
exempts wires, cables, and lines, from the definition of equipment facilities. This is consistent with the
intent of the ordinance that small cell installations be allowed in the public rights of way, rather than
being setback from them. See subdivision (S)(a)(l).
Application requirements should apply throughout the City. The proposed ordinance specifies
the process for approving a new WCF on an existing antenna support structure in a residential district,
but does not explain the process for any other district. In an effort to clarify the standards for other
districts, we propose that small cell installations on new or existing antenna support structures in all
zones be subject to administrative review. While there were discussions before the Planning Commission
2 Id. at Table 2, p. 7.
City of Brookings
Proposed Ordinance 17-008
Aprill~ 2017
Page3of 3
+++++ Moss & Barnett
to the effect that small cells might not be permitted in the public right of way in the central business
district, our review of the City Code revealed no provision that would ban these installations in that
location. Even so, we propose including language that clarifies that compliance with this Section satisfies
other City Code provisions regarding the City Engineer's approval of awnings and poles in the public right
of way in the central business district. With respect to the mapping requirement, we have also suggested
language to clarify that any application for a WCF must accompany a scaled drawing or aerial map
depicting existing buildings and structures as well as the proposed installation.
Other design possibili ties in residential districts. The proposed ordinance provides that "[i]n
residential districts, aesthetics is a high priority. Therefore, only a monopole design shall be permitted."
See subdivision (5)(e). Many cities we have worked with are concerned about the aesthetics of these
installations, and Verizon Wireless is willing to work with City Staff to achieve designs that meet this
important goal. However, our experience has shown that codes that mandate one design type do not
allow the flexibility necessary to meet this important goal. For example, the City might achieve a better
aesthetic result by approving a small cell facility as part of a church steeple, an emergency call box, a
school scoreboard, or on top of a firehouse. Therefore, we propose giving the City greater flexibility to
approve alternative designs during the administrative review or conditional use process.
Conclusion. Enclosed is a redline reflecting these preliminary suggestions. Please let us know if you
would like more detailed suggestions to the proposed ordinance. We plan to attend the City Council
meeting on April 25, 2017, to answer any questions related to our suggestions or more general questions
regarding the development of the Verizon Wireless network. If any reader of this letter has questions,
please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to working with you to continue improving Verizon
Wireless service in Brookings.

OFFICIAL MINUTES
Chairperson Al Heuton called the regular meeting of the City Planning Commission to order
on Tuesday, February 7, 2017, at 5:30 PM in the Chambers Room #310 on the third floor of
the City & County Government Center. Members present were James Drew, Greg Fargen,
Alan Gregg, Alan Johnson, Ryan Murphy, Lee Ann Pierce, Kristi Tornquist and Al Heuton.
Absent was Tanner Aiken. Also present were City Planner Staci Bungard, Community
Development Director Mike Struck, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, Vernon Brown and Jerry
Anderson from SDN Communications and others.
Item #6 – The City of Brookings has submitted ordinance amendments to Section 94-396,
pertaining to Wireless Communication Facilities.
(Gregg/Fargen) Motion to approve the zoning ordinance amendments. All present voted aye.
MOTION CARRIED.
(Tornquist /Drew) Amendment to the motion with a change to Section 5h.1 to reference “5.e”
and not 5.f.
The motion as amended was voted on. All present voted aye, Johnson absent.
MOTION CARRIED.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #6–This amendment is to include definitions for administration of the Zoning
Ordinance. Definitions and regulations for Distributed Antenna Systems and Small Cell
Facilities, specifically wireless communication facilities placed on private property. Due to
new technology and changes within the industry an amendment is necessary. The
amendment allows for smaller wireless facilities, such as those needed for cell phone towers.
City Staff would need to issue a permit to ensure the requirements are met.
Vernon Brown explained that this change is important especially in this part of the world
where “cell phone only” users are high in numbers with the student base we have here.
Vernon explained where these poles would be placed in the City and on Campus. Fargen
wondered who would control who would be allowed to utilize the poles. Vernon explained
that SDN would own the poles and would lease the pole to other providers. Jerry Anderson
explained that the devices on the poles will only measure about 18 inches and the devices
will provide additional coverage for about a 750 foot circumference around the pole. Gregg
wondered if these towers would improve cell usage in other parts of town. Jerry stated that it
would be a benefit to everyone, but not inside places like the Swiftel Center. But there are
other options available for those buildings. Heuton wondered if they would ever anticipate
more than two providers on a pole. At this time, SDN is focusing on Verizon and they would
like to have a five foot area between each device on a pole. And with this in mind, a third
device would be too close to the ground. It has been asked if the downtown poles could be
50 feet and located in the alleys. Jerry explained that due to the recent upgrades downtown,
it has been suggested that the poles be located in the alley’s, but for this to happen it would
be best if the poles could be 50 feet in height to be above the buildings. Vernon noted that
the proposed amendment only allows for 35 foot poles and he noted that the downtown poles
would exceed this. Tornquist asked if maybe a 50 foot pole would be a better route to go in
the ordinance. Jerry stated that 35 foot poles fit best in the residential areas. They blend in
with the height of street lights at this height. Tornquist asked what the process would be if
someone wanted to go higher than the 35 feet. Struck stated that the City Attorney stated
that a variance would need to be applied for if the pole were to be in the right-of-way. Pierce
wondered how we would monitor other companies coming in and placing these towers in
town. Struck explained that the City has to permit these poles and the City isn’t going to limit
another company from coming in. The poles will typically be placed in the public right-of-way,
so the City will have control over where these will be placed. In addition, everyone will be
required to go through all the same processes. Drew wondered if BMU would have any say
in the permitting process. Lanning explained that BMU would have to complete a portion of
the application.
Enjoy the Uptime.

Q: What is a small cell, and how will it bene t me?
A: Many of us have experienced the frustration of trying to text a photo or pull up a website when we’re at a crowded event or in an area with a weak
mobile data signal. While that’s a momentary frustration, lack of data capacity could become a matter of public safety as 911 systems begin to accept
emergency text messages and videos. That’s why SDN Communications is deploying small cells for Verizon Wireless in many communities. The new tech-
nology will improve data coverage in areas where crowds gather or there is a geographic gap in service. Unlike the large macro cell towers that deliver
service coverage for up to 40 miles, small cells enhance data capacity in targeted areas up to 1,500 feet. They’re most often used in areas crowded with
many cell phone users, such as schools, colleges, fair grounds, downtown shopping districts, or hospital campuses. This technology improves capacity for
users in high-density areas and can have far-reaching bene ts for a community by relieving data congestion on a macro tower.
Q: What do small cells look like?
A: SDN Communications is working with Verizon Wireless to deploy small cell technology. The equipment is mounted
on 32-foot, metal poles. The majority are being placed along the public right of way, which is where other public
utilities, such as street lights, electricity, telephone, broadband, water, and sewer are placed. The small cell poles are
similar to light poles lining city streets.
Q: What is the bene t of small cell technology?
A: Small cells improve the speed and reliability of mobile wireless coverage. Increasingly, people rely on their mobile devices to surf the Internet, watch
video and access data-rich applications. By 2019, the wireless industry expects mobile data tra c to be six times greater than 2014, according to the
Cellular Telephone Industries Association (CTIA). More wireless infrastructure is needed to meet this explosive growth.
Small cells are an essential layer of wireless infrastructure and are needed to deploy 4G wireless technology, which can o er speeds up to 30 Mbps. That’s
faster than most public Wi-Fi. 4G LTE can even top the speeds many people receive at home.

Q: How does small cell technology support emergency communication?
A: Americans rely on their mobile devices for emergency communication. Small cells are essential to support Next Generation 911, which will enable
users to text and send photos and videos to rst responders. In addition, many schools and employers use texts or emails to send emergency
noti cations. Small cells are necessary to support the delivery of vital, lifesaving mobile communication.
Q: What is a public right of way?
A: Typically, the public right of way is a narrow strip of land next to the street including the sidewalk. Sometimes it’s called the boulevard. That land is
maintained by the homeowner but technically owned by the public and reserved for utilities, such as street lights, electricity, telephone, broadband,
water, and sewer infrastructure. Local governments, not the homeowner, decide which utilities are allowed in that public right of way.
Most of the small cell poles SDN will deploy will be in that public right of way. SDN is an existing broadband provider in these communities and will
leverage existing, underground ber optic cable to support the small cell deployment.
Q: Will my boulevard landscaping be damaged during the small cell install?
A: Small cell pole installs should have minimal impact on the landscape. SDN’s professional contractor has a good reputation and xes any damage done.
For more information about small cells and public right of way, check out this video:
https://sdncommunications.com/small-cells/
The boulevard or narrow strip of land between the sidewalk and street is the public right of way,
which is where most small cells will be deployed.

Q: Why is it necessary to erect new poles? Why can’t the small cell equipment be mounted to existing light or telephone poles?
A: The small cell equipment is heavy and requires a structurally sound pole and foundation. The base and pole of existing structures would likely need
to be replaced to support the heavy equipment. Small cells support essential 911 service and require immediate response if the equipment is damaged
or needs repair. SDN selected a uniform, 32-foot monopole design to provide consistency and direct power access to enable quick and e cient service,
repair and maintenance.
Q: Can the small cell poles support multiple wireless carriers?
A: Yes, SDN’s small cell poles can accommodate up to two wireless carriers. Colocation of small cell equipment can reduce the need for additional poles,
while simultaneously meeting the data coverage needs of mobile users.
Q: Is small cell technology coming to my community?
A: SDN is currently working with the communities of Sioux Falls, Yankton, Brookings, Aberdeen, Sturgis, and Sioux City to deploy small cell technology.
If your community isn’t on this list, it could be in the future. As mobile data tra c continues to grow, it is likely more communities in the Northern Plains
will be selected to receive this next layer of wireless infrastructure.

Action on Resolution 17-048, a Resolution Amending the Fee Schedule of the City of Brookings,
South Dakota (Small Cell, DAS, and Wi-Fi Facilities Permit).
Summary:
This resolution will amend the fee schedule of the City of Brookings, South Dakota (Small Cell, DAS,
and Wi-Fi Facilities Permit).
Background:
SDN Communications of Sioux Falls is under contract with Verizon Wireless to install several small-
cell towers around Brookings. The towers would be installed this spring. The installation of small-cell
towers will equip Verizon with the ability to expand coverage in Brookings. The towers are typically
35’ tall, which are designed to go in the Right-of-Way (ROW) so they are treated like all other utility
operations. They also do not need extensive permitting typical of larger towers that cannot be in the
ROW.
A permit was drafted to ensure concerns about issues were addressed before the towers are
installed, such as aesthetics, ROW occupation and competition for space in the ROW, and
neighborhood transparency on the tower locations. This permit is attached to Ordinance 17-008, an
Ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Brookings and pertaining to Section 94-396
Wireless Communication Facilities for the purpose of administration of the Zoning Ordinance.
This $100 permit fee will be applied to all future applications for Small Cell, DAS, and Wi-Fi facilities.
Fiscal Impact:
The Small Cell, DAS, and Wi-Fi facilities permit fees will be collected and deposited into the
engineering department budget.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

Action on Resolution 17-040, a Resolution Repealing and Replacing Resolution 15-079 Pertaining to
the Sale of Surplus Real Property.
Summary:
In July, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution 15-079 which prescribed a process by which City
would dispose of surplus commercial/business land. This resolution constitutes an amendment by
which another option is added to the existing options prescribed in Resolution 15-079.
Background:
Resolution 15-079 prescribes the methods by which property is to be disposed of for business or
commercial purposes as being done by: (1) sealed bids and a public auction; or (2) a Request for
Proposal (RFP).
The amendment clarifies the property subject to this process as being zoned B1-B4 or Planned
Development District (PDD). It also adds a third method by utilizing the authorizing provisions
prescribed in state law which allows a disposal through transferring to a local non-profit economic
development agency. The Council could utilize any of these three methods for land so zoned.
If approved, this resolution would repeal Resolution 15-079.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.

development policy:
I.Sealed Bids, Public Auction, or through a Licensed Real Estate Broker whereby
the City Council may stipulate terms and conditions of an accepted bid and such
terms and conditions shall be considered pre-bid stipulations that shall be made
known prior to the auction/bid date. Such conditions may include but not be
limited to:
a. Terms and conditions of payment of accepted bid.
b. Bid security and payment security.
c. A development/re-development plan acceptable to the City Council.
d. Performance deadlines and other guarantees of the development/re-
development.
e. Reversionary provisions of the parcel(s) for failure to perform.
II.Request for Proposal whereby the City Council may include terms, conditions
and/or an end-use development plan parameters, requirements, or other
provisions to be offered by respondents for the City Council to consider.

Discussion and Possible Action on the 6th Street shared-use Bicycle Transportation Path Design on
the north side of 6th Street between Main Avenue and Medary Avenue.
Summary:
This discussion will pertain to specifying the width of the shared use path to be either eight feet (8’) or
ten feet (10’), and maintenance responsibility of the path.
Background:
The SD DOT has requested direction from the City of Brookings on the width of shared-use bicycle
transportation path, which will be located on the north side of 6th Street between Main Avenue and
Medary Avenue. From the Bicycle Master Plan, the ideal width for a bicycle path is 10 feet.
However, the adopted Master Plan describes the price estimate for the 6th Street shared use path as
an eight-foot width. This discussion will pertain to the City’s recommendation on the width of the
shared-use path.
This discussion will also pertain to the maintenance responsibilities for the shared use path, such as
snow removal.
A notice was mailed to the property owners on the north and south sides of 6th Street between Main
Avenue and Medary Avenue.
Fiscal Impact:
Not determined at this time.
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending a width of eight feet as a reasonable compromise to accommodate all of the
above design considerations. A formal recommendation from the Bicycle Advisory Committee was
also requested so the Council has input from the committee.

Staff Memo: Packet Item for the Bicycle Advisory Committee Meeting
As part of the Highway 14 (6th Street) improvement project for the section of Main
Avenue to Medary Avenue, the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SD DOT)
intends to install a shared bicycle-pedestrian lane on the north side of the highway.
This lane will be separated from the travel lane by a boulevard green space to
accommodate signage, trees, driveway approaches, and lighting.
The SD DOT has requested direction from the City of Brookings as to the width of
shared lane to incorporate into their design specifications for the project. The City
Council will consider this issue at their April 25 Council meeting but is asking the Bicycle
Advisory Committee for a recommendation on the width.
The standard sidewalk width for residential streets varies between four and five feet
depending upon when the sidewalk was installed and other pre-existing constraints of
the right-of-way at that specific location. As the Committee is aware from the Plan, the
ideal width for a bicycle lane is 10 feet. However, the attachment from the Plan
describes the price estimate for this location as that of an eight-foot width.
Residents have previously expressed concerns about the potential extra effort to
maintain this width compared to other pathways in the community. Other concerns
about an excessive width at this location is the corresponding loss of green space on
the boulevard as well as front yards. This loss of green space on the boulevards
reduces snow storage and depending upon the specific location, could place bicyclists
and pedestrians closer to the traffic lanes. It also could reduce space for future tree
plantings in some locations.
Staff is recommending a width of eight feet as a reasonable compromise to
accommodate all of these design considerations; but a formal recommendation from the
Bicycle Advisory Committee is requested so the City Council has input from the
committee.
The determination of responsibility for snow and ice removal is a maintenance and
operational issue and for the City Council to decide; and is not within the purview of the
Committee.

51Brookings Bicycle Master Plan \\ Chapter 6: Funding and ImplementationPlanning-level cost estimates have been developed for each bikeway facility type. Per-mile cost estimates were developed conservatively – in some cases projects will cost less, especially when incorporated into a larger project. For example, when incorporating a bike lane striping project into a planned resurfacing or seal coating project, up to $19,000 per mile in cost savings may be realized in unspent pavement marking eradication, mobilization, and engineering items. Note that updated engineering cost estimates will need to be developed for each project during detailed design. Design considerations should include, but are not be limited to, motor vehicle speed, motor vehicle traffic volumes, anticipated users, minimizing conflicts between users, right-of-way width, tree preservation, parking retention/removal, intersection controls (stoplight, stop sign, uncontrolled), utilities, intersections (driveways, roadways, shared-use paths), sight triangles, design speed, lighting, and effects to historic and private property.A summary of the project types estimated are listed in Figure 6.4. A more detailed description of the work included in each project type follows. Estimates generally include engineering and crew mobilization costs wherever applicable, but they do not include right-of-way acquisition or inflation.Project TypePlanning-Level Cost Estimate, per mileBicycle Boulevard*$45,000 – $163,750Buffered Bicycle Lanes$55,800 – $77,500Corridor Planning Study (1) – Along Existing Street $13,500 – $18,750Corridor Planning Study (2) – Along Independent Trail Alignment$11,700 – $16,250Separated Bicycle Lanes$547,200 – $760,000Shared-Use Path (1) – Along Existing Street $492,300 – $683,750Shared-Use Path (2) – Along 2025 Trail Loop $441,900 – $613,750Shared-Use Path (3) – Substitute 5' Concrete Sidewalk With 8' Asphalt Path In A Planned Reconstruction Project$112,500 – $156,250Standard Bicycle Lanes$48,600 – $67,500Standard Bicycle Lanes (With Extended 5' Gutter Pan) $515,700 – $716,250Stoplight (1) – Add Ramp Widening To A Planned Signal Replacement Project$12,600 – $17,500Stoplight (2) – Add Ramp Widening, Bicycle Push Buttons, And Bicycle Signal Head To A Planned Signal Replacement Project$14,400 – $20,000Stoplight (3) – Add Bicycle Push Button Pedestals To A Planned Signal Replacement Project$1,800 – $2,500Wayfinding – Existing Shared-Use Path $12,600 – $17,500Figure 6.4 Planning-level cost estimates for bikeway projects reflect a high-level approximation.
