Brookings Affordable Housing Task Force Report.
Background:
The City Council created the Brookings Affordable Housing Task on November 24, 2015 with the
following action:
A motion was made by Council Member Bacon, seconded by Council Member Niemeyer,
that creation of an Affordable Housing Task Force be approved. Friendly amendment offered
by Mayor Reed: Replace lines 1 and 6 with “Meetings shall be held at least monthly for a
duration not to exceed 24 months from the first meeting.” Bacon & Niemeyer agreed to the
amendment. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes: 7 - Reed, Corbett, Hansen,
Niemeyer, Thorpe, Meyer, and Bacon.
A charter provided guidance to the task force on their purpose and include five objectives for the task
force to address. The task force held their first meeting on February 10, 2016 and held 15 official
meetings over the past 19 months. In addition, a special purpose workshop, devoted to learning
about housing and land trust funds, was held.
This task force report has been developed as a means of increasing awareness of the need for
affordable housing, generating support of affordable housing projects, and encouraging public/private
partnerships in the identification and implementation of affordable housing solutions. The Brookings
Affordable Housing Task Force (BAHTF) analyzed the current housing market, examined trends in
the housing market and economic opportunities of the City, identified shortcomings in affordable
housing countywide, and proposes strategies to address affordable housing.
The BAHTF focuses on the status and interaction of four (4) fundamental conditions within the
community:
·The rental and homeowner housing market;
·Economic trends, specifically in terms of household income;
·The provision of financial assistance for dwellings; and
·Public policies and actions affecting affordable housing.
The methodology employed to undertake the BAHTF Report includes research of best practices, tax
programs, and examples from comparable university communities related to affordable housing.
Statistical data was compiled from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, HUD
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy, and local real estate and mortgage professionals.
The task force had opportunities to learn about special programs from guests related to housing and
land trust funds, energy efficiency programs for manufactured housing, and smart growth initiatives.
The recommendations are divided into two tiers with Tier 1 representing strategies that could be
implemented within a 12 to 18 month time-frame. Tier 2 strategies are long-term implementation

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
NEED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Every resident of the City of Brookings deserves a decent, safe, sound and affordable place to live, in a
neighborhood that provides opportunities to succeed. The market alone is not always able to meet that
need, and, accordingly, governments at all levels must work together to help. The City’s shortage of
affordable housing has reached a breaking point. Much of the housing in the City is not affordable to
low- and moderate-income households and working families who are oftentimes cost burdened by 30%
or more in their housing costs.
This task force report has been developed as a means of increasing awareness of the need for affordable
housing, generating support of affordable housing projects, and encouraging public/private partnerships
in the identification and implementation of affordable housing solutions. The Brookings Affordable
Housing Task Force (BAHTF) analyzed the current housing market, examined trends in the housing
market and economic opportunities of the City, identified shortcomings in affordable housing
countywide, and proposes strategies to address affordable housing.
The BAHTF focuses on the status and interaction of four (4) fundamental conditions within the
community:
The rental and homeowner housing market;
Economic trends, specifically in terms of household income;
The provision of financial assistance for dwellings;
Public policies and actions affecting affordable housing;
The methodology employed to undertake the BAHTF Report includes research of best practices, tax
programs, and examples from comparable university communities related to affordable housing.
Statistical data was compiled from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, HUD
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy, and local real estate and mortgage professionals. The
task force had opportunities to learn about special programs from guests related to housing and land
trust funds, energy efficiency programs for manufactured housing, and smart growth initiatives.
GOALS AND PRIORITIES
Adopt an agreed-upon definition of “affordable” to be used as a mainstay for the Task Force’s
work around owner-occupied and rental housing.
Evaluate the affordable housing needs at all levels by developing an understanding of the
community’s housing situation with a global focus on workforce housing, first time home
buyers, low and moderate income individuals & families, veterans, disabled, and elderly for
owner-occupied and rental housing.
Investigate the various tools, policies, procedures, means, and methods that could be employed
by the City of Brookings to alleviate the challenges of affordable housing including but not
limited to modified zoning policies, higher density incentives, public/private partnerships and
the utilization of affordable housing trust funds.
Develop a comprehensive plan to address the housing affordability challenges of the
community.
3
Make a recommendation to the City Council based on a comprehensive plan addressing the
housing affordability challenges of the community for governing body action by submitting a
final report which may include draft resolutions or ordinances for subsequent action.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEEDS:
Demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the county were evaluated as a basis for
determining and identifying affordable housing issues in the City. Approximately 43% of Brookings
households earn less than $35,000 per year. In an effort to account for the SDSU student influence on
housing in Brookings, the task force looked into more detailed income and housing data for families.
One out of four family households have a gross annual income of less than $35,000. An annual income
of $35,000 equates to a maximum of $875 available for monthly housing costs utilizing 30% of gross
income. The task force determined spending more than 30% of gross household income means a
household is housing cost burdened. It is important to note that affordable housing should address
both owner-occupied and rental occupied housing opportunities. Some of the findings as presented in
the tables, maps, data and analyses of the BAHTF are summarized below and include the following:
Income and Poverty
The BAHTF reviewed information contained in the 2015 Research on Brookings Poverty Rates
and Availability of Affordable Housing conducted by the Brookings Sustainability Council.
The report, under the principle of regional economy, determined that an indicator that
measured the percent of residents to be living in poverty was 22.4%. The benchmark report also
determined 33% of homeowners and more than 50% of renters are living beyond their means.
The Sustainability Council’s report articulated South Dakota State University students influence
the community but did not have an adverse impact on the poverty rating. People who live in
group settings, such as care facilities, nursing homes, jails and first and second year SDSU
students, who live on campus, are not part of the poverty figures by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Rental and Owner Occupied Housing Stock and Housing Costs
54% of Brookings renter occupied housing units spend more than 30% of their household
income on housing costs, 13% higher than the South Dakota average.
18% of Brookings owner occupied housing units spend more than 30% of their household
income on housing costs slightly less than the state average of 18.4%
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The BAHTF recommendations are divided into a tiers, with Tier I representing strategies implemented
within 12 to 18 months. Tier II recommendation would require more time for implementation,
however, it should be noted these strategies could begin the exploratory phase at any time. Tier I
recommendations primarily revolve around a review of existing City policies (ordinances) and
procedures (permitting) and changing those negatively impacting the creation of more affordable
housing. Additional Tier I recommendations focus on educational components, whether it be consumer
expectations, awareness of housing programs, or identifying the correlation between tax policy and
housing costs.
4
Tier II recommendations involve incentives and may take a little longer to implement as programs and
budgeting will need to be developed. These recommendations range from hiring independent
consultants to analyze the housing market and regional storm water management solutions to
incentives for subdivision design, employee bounty programs, infill development, and concepts untested
in the Brookings market.
5
CHARTER/MISSION
Created in November 2015, the role of the Brookings Affordable Housing Task Force (BAHTF) is to advise
the City Council, City Manager, and City Boards on housing-related issues; help advance the creation and
availability of affordable housing for middle and low income residents of Brookings; and deliver
proposals to the City Council on potential incentives for the creation of affordably priced single family
dwellings and affordable rental units for middle income residents of Brookings.
BAHTF OBJECTIVES
Adopt an agreed-upon definition of “affordable” to be used as a mainstay for the Task Force’s
work around owner-occupied and rental housing.
Evaluate the affordable housing needs at all levels by developing an understanding of the
community’s housing situation with a global focus on workforce housing, first time home
buyers, low and moderate income individuals & families, veterans, disabled, and elderly for
owner-occupied and rental housing.
Investigate the various tools, policies, procedures, means, and methods that could be employed
by the City of Brookings to alleviate the challenges of affordable housing including but not
limited to modified zoning policies, higher density incentives, public/private partnerships and
the utilization of affordable housing trust funds.
Develop a comprehensive plan to address the housing affordability challenges of the
community.
Make a recommendation to the City Council based on a comprehensive plan addressing the
housing affordability challenges of the community for governing body action by submitting a
final report which may include draft resolutions or ordinances for subsequent action.
WHAT IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING?
BAHTF was tasked with defining “affordable housing”. After much deliberation, the group agreed to use
the following definition as our starting point:
AFFORDABLE HOUSING: Families who pay more than 30 percent of their gross income
for housing (principal/rent, interest, taxes, insurance, and utilities) are considered cost
burdened and may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing,
transportation and medical care.
(https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/comm_planning/affordablehousing/)
This definition is consistent with the HUD definition and lender policy. While the definition of affordable
housing utilizes 30 percent of gross income, it is equally important to acknowledge there are people
who choose to spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing-related costs due to personal
priorities.
ESTABLISHING NEEDS IN THE BROOKINGS MARKET
The City of Brookings had 8,369 occupied housing units in 2015. Brookings is unique for South Dakota in
that 51.4% of occupied housing units are renter-occupied compared to 48.6% owner-occupied. The first
assumption often made is this number is skewed based upon the SDSU student influence on the rental
6
market. While this may certainly be true, it may not be the only reason why Brookings has a higher
renter-occupied than owner-occupied real estate market.
The median household income for Brookings is $41,061, which means half of the households make more
than $41,061 and half make less. Another way to view median household income data is to calculate
the costs available monthly for housing based upon the affordable housing definition. Applying the
thirty percent figure to median household income and then dividing it by twelve months equates to
$1,026 available to meet monthly housing expenses.
The Census Bureau defines a household as all the people who occupy a housing unit (such as a house or
apartment) as their usual place of residence. A household includes the related family members and all
the unrelated people, if any, such as lodgers, foster children, wards, or employees who share the
housing unit. A person living alone in a housing unit, or a group of unrelated people sharing a housing
unit such as partners or roomers, is also counted as a household. The count of households excludes
group quarters.
The Census Bureau further breaks down the type of household into family and non-family. For purposes
of this report, the task force focused on the definition of a family household as defined by the Census
Bureau. A family household includes one or more people living in the same household who are related
to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. All people in a household who are related to the
householder are regarded as members of his or her family. A family household may contain people not
related to the householder, but those people are not included as part of the householder's family in
census tabulations. Thus, the number of family households is equal to the number of families, but family
households may include more members than do families. A household can contain only one family for
purposes of census tabulations. Not all households contain families since a household may comprise a
group of unrelated people or one person living alone.
Table 1 is a representation of owner-occupied households currently spending 30% or more of their
income on housing. Estimating taxes, insurance, and utilities at $442 per month, provides a monthly
range based upon income available for housing. When comparing the affordable home price range to
the Brookings Multiple Listing Service (MLS), it is clear there are few ownership options available in the
market to households earning less than $35,000. Homeownership becomes more realistic in the
$35,000 - $49,999 income range, however, even in this income bracket, homeownership can strain a
household budget based upon the available options within the price range.

While the percentage of total owner-occupied (18%) households spending 30% or more on housing is
significant, the data portrays an alarming trend on the total renter-occupied households. Fifty-one
(51%) percent of renter-occupied households spend 30% or more of their income on housing. Once
again, the influence of SDSU students on the rental market is assumed to be a contributing factor,
especially at the lowest income level. The interesting data pertains to an affordable rent range when
factoring out expenses such as insurance and utilities. An individual making $14.42 per hour, or $30,000
annually, could afford a monthly rent of $450 based upon the assumptions outlined in Table 2.

Brookings’ workforce issues are projected to continue over the next decade. Nearly 4,600 employees
will be eligible to retire in the next 10 years. The ability to fill those openings as well as any business
expansions will be directly related to the availability of housing. Utilizing the median earnings from
Table 3. and applying those hourly earnings into the appropriate annual income in Tables 1 and 2
provides a snapshot of what future housing needs will be just to fulfill the needs of business and
industry today.
An example scenario is provided with the following assumptions:
Household includes two production workers making $16.36 per hour.
$16.36 x 2080 = $34,028.80 x 2 = $68,057.60
$68,057.60 x 30% = $20,417.28 / 12 months = $1,701.44 available monthly housing expenses
Based upon the scenario, the two income household would fall within the affordable housing price
range of $187,000 to $330,000. There were 45 homes for sale in Brookings ranging in price from
$151,000 to $300,000 as shown in Table 9. The number of annual openings for production workers is
106 with 436 eligible for retirement within the next 10 years. Assuming all the homes in this price range
were purchased by production workers earning the median income, the existing housing stock would
accommodate ninety of the production workers.

Reviewing data for selected monthly owner costs as a percentage of household income revealed
Brookings households with a mortgage spending 30% or more of their household income is comparable
to the state of South Dakota. Approximately twenty-six percent of household with mortgages in
Brookings spend 30% or more of their income on housing costs compared to 23.5% for South Dakota.
The percentage reverse when comparing housing costs for owners without a mortgage as only 4.4% of
Brookings owners spend more than 30% of their income on housing costs. Statewide, 11.4% of owner
households without a mortgage spend 30% or more on housing costs. Analyzing the data regardless of
the status of a mortgage reveals Brookings is very consistent with the rest of the state as 19% of owners
expend 30% or more on housing costs compared to 18.4% statewide. The question that remains
unanswered is whether 30% of a household income spent on housing is really affordable. This comes
down to individual choice or circumstance.

Renter-occupied housing portrays a different picture of housing cost burden in Brookings. Fifty-four
percent of Brookings renters are considered cost burdened compared to 41% statewide. The most
significant observation is 46.5% of renters spend 35% or more of their household income on rent. An
assumption can be made this number is inflated due to the influence of South Dakota State University
students in the Brookings rental market.

Table 7 represents the total number of households by income ranges and the adjusted monthly income
available for housing based upon utilizing 30% of gross income. Roughly forty-three percent of
Brookings households have a gross income of less than $35,000, which equates to a maximum monthly
income available for housing of $875. Table 8 provides a slightly better picture of housing affordability
in Brookings by evaluating household income by families. Approximately twenty-eight percent of
Brookings family households have a gross income of less than $35,000, which equates to a maximum
monthly income available for housing of $875. Household income by families may provide a more
accurate portrayal of the housing needs in the community. The Task Force acknowledges South Dakota
State University students are spending a disproportionately higher amount of their income on housing
while pursuing a degree and therefore may be over-inflating the percentages associated with total
households by household income and benefits.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING BARRIERS
The Task Force brainstormed barriers to constructing affordable housing in Brookings, whether
perceived or real. The idea was simply to list as many issues that affect the cost of housing and then
further evaluate the ideas for validity. Upon completion of the list, the Task Force identified the
responsible party or parties that have the most influence over the issue and could most likely influence
change.

Upon identifying potential barriers to constructing affordable houseing, the Task Force began to identify
potential solutions. These solutions are identified in Table 11, Affordable Housing Strategies. Table 11 is
formatted to identify the activity or solution and then provide a description of what the intent of the
activity is trying to accomplish. Each activity also provide obstacles that would need to be overcome as
well as potential adverse impacts of implementing the activity. In some scenarios, an estimated cost
was associated with the activity while others remained blank or simply referenced by the need for
money as it was difficult to associate a dollar amount to an unfamilar program. Finally, each activity was
assigned a governmental entity that would have administrative oversight on implementing the program.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Affordable housing is not a one size fits all solution. Housing solutions will need to be developed across
multiple categories of housing to address the affordability issues in Brookings. It should be noted the
following recommendations are intended to be utilized across multiple categories of housing and
include, but are not limited to rental housing, owner-occupied, single-family, multi-family, low density,
high density, subsidized and unsubsidized. All types of housing should be able to utilize one or more of
the following recommendations as a means of diversifying the housing stock through the community.
Some of the following recommendations are deemed to be short term initiatives that can begin to show
progress towards impacting affordable housing while longer term strategies will require more detailed
conversations to occur on much more in-depth opportunities. Some of the solutions we discussed will
be specific to some of the above categories (parking reduction and high density housing for example)
while others will be applicable across many categories (storm water retention for example).
Tier 1 (12 – 18 months)
Implement parking reductions when alternative transportation infrastructure is provided. This
could be expanded to provide further reductions if a certain percentage of the units are
maintained in an affordable price range.
Reduce minimum lot size and height restrictions in the zoning ordinance.
Improve educational programs on affordable housing and styles (i.e. condominium).
Support concentrated neighborhoods with housing, retail, and service mix in key locations of the
community.
Evaluate fee structure for permits and provide waivers for affordable housing.
Explore opportunities to leverage state and federal programs.
Evaluate Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) as an affordable housing option.
Explore creation of Brookings Housing Program/Position.
Lobby Legislature in property tax reforms addressing multi-family rate, platted lots, etc.
Explore private sector partnerships to increase housing density above public parking lots
(income based vs. market).
Initiate a creative subdivision design competition with a monetary incentive (SDSU School of
Design).
Communication amongst various stakeholders (Government, Non-Profit, Private Sector).
Tier II
Incentivize subdivision design incorporating mixed-incomes and housing varieties.
Incentivize infill/redevelopment projects incorporating affordable housing.
Explore a Brookings Housing Trust Fund.
New house tax deferrment program whereby property taxes are phased in over a period of
time.
Explore lease-to-own financing models for homeownership.
Explore a housing rehab program to ensure older housing stock is maintained as a viable
housing solution.
Employee bounty program whereby new Brookings employees are provided a stipend based
upon each completed year of employment while maintaining residency in Brookings (Ex. 3 year
program at $1,000 per year).
Hire a consultant to study regional storm water solutions.
21
Hire an independent consultant to study infrastructure costs and policies and provide a
comparative analysis of how Brookings rates to other Midwest cities.
Create small task force to address specific housing issues:
a.Post graduate transitional housing.
b.Is Brookings housing overpriced in middle to upper price ranges?
Create opportunities for small acreages in the County to help free up existing housing stock
within the community (upward mobility).
Collaboration with outlying communities on housing development with an emphasis on
affordable housing.
CONCLUSION
What started out as a task force simply trying to address affordable housing opportunities in Brookings,
morphed into a much larger, more complex, issue than intended. Affordable housing has a different
meaning for different individuals, thus emphasizing the need to look at the issue from a wholistic
perspective. The recommendations range from zoning policy to legislative review to financial incentives.
Regardless of strategy, the key component to a successful implementation is establishing public-private
partnerships.
The Task Force feels strongly that the community, with leadership from City Council, begin a concerted,
organized effort to address affordable housing needs in our community. We ask the Brookings City
Council to take action on this issue by making impactful policy decisions that address the solutions
outlined in this document and have measurable outcomes for the benefit of the Brookings Community.
Those actions can be as simple as proclaiming Affordable Housing Month, tasking staff and/or the Task
Force to launch a public awareness campaign, and as complex as determining the need for a Housing
staff position for the City to implement the recommendations of the Task Force.

Affordable Housing Task Force Charter
Purpose:
The role of the Brookings Affordable Housing Task Force (BAHTF) is to advise the City Council, City
Manager, and City Boards on housing-related issues; help advance the creation and availability of
affordable housing for middle and low income residents of Brookings; and deliver proposals to the City
Council on potential incentives for the creation of affordably priced single family dwellings and
affordable rental units for middle income residents of Brookings.
Objectives:
1)Adopt an agreed-upon definition of “affordable” to be used as a mainstay for the Task Force’s

Runway 17/35 Improvements, AIP #3-46-0005-029-2017; Midland Contracting, Inc.
Summary:
This resolution will approve Change Order No. 1 (Final) to the Brookings Runway 17/35
Improvements Project for a decrease of $38,848.65 to the contract and adjusting the final completion
date by 15 calendar days to close out the project with Midland Contracting, Inc.
Background:
This project was the reconstruction of the south end of Runway 17/35, which is approximately 1,700
feet long. The project was designed by Helms and Associates and included grading, subbase
course, aggregate base course, underdrain piping, asphalt paving, pavement marking, topsoiling,
seeding and other items of related construction. This project was funded with grant funding of 90%
federal funds, 5% state funds, and the City match was 5%.
The City added work to the project to install rip rap around storm sewer pipe to control erosion, widen
runway striping to match the striping on the north end of the runway, and to raise 3 taxiway lights that
were found to be too low after the paving was complete. The change order also includes the cost to
haul excess millings near the new taxilane construction area to be used as a subbase material. This
change order also adjusts project bid quantities to as-constructed quantities for a total decrease of
$38,848.65. The contractor met the substantial completion date for the project; however, the change
order includes extending the final completion date by 15 calendar days since parts needed to be
ordered for the taxiway light extensions.
The project summary is the following:
Original Contract Price:$732,763.32
Change from Previously Approved Change Orders:$0.00
Contract Price Prior to this Change Order:$732,763.32
Decrease of this Change Order (No. 1):$38,848.65
Contract Price incorporating this Change Order:$691,914.67

Action on Resolution 17-094, a Resolution authorizing the placement of 4-Way Stop Signs at the
Intersection of 22nd Avenue South and 32nd Street South.
Summary:
This Resolution will authorize the placement of 4-way stop signs at the intersection of 22 nd Avenue
South and 32nd Street South.
Background:
The City installed temporary 4-way stop signs at the intersection of 22nd Avenue South and 32nd
Street South during the 6th Street construction project to facilitate detour traffic. The City Engineering
staff performed a recent traffic study on the intersection to determine if the 4-way stop signs should
remain permanently at the intersection. The north side of the intersection is in the City of Brookings
jurisdiction and the south side is in Brookings County jurisdiction. Staff found that the evergreen
trees in the northeast corner of the intersection have grown wider and taller since the previous traffic
study, and they hinder the visibility of south-bound vehicles as they look to the east. A typical vehicle
approaching the intersection south-bound is required to drive ahead of the stop sign to have better
visibility to the east.
Staff reviewed the warrants in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Section 2B.07, Multi-
Way Stop Intersections.Even though the traffic counts and crash data criteria were not met, other
criteria in Section 2B.07 of the MUTCD was reviewed:
“Option: Other criteria that may be considered in an engineering study include:
·The need to control left turn conflicts;
·The need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that generate high pedestrian
volumes;
·Locations where a road user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able to
negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop; and
·An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of similar design
and operating characteristics where multi-way stop control would improve traffic operational
characteristics of the intersection.”
Staff determined that the warrant for Criteria C is met due to the limited visibility on the northeast
corner of the intersection. Option D would also be met during peak traffic times. In addition, the
intersection has been functioning well since the temporary stop signs were installed.
The Brookings Traffic Safety Committee discussed this topic at their October 12, 2017 committee
meeting. The committee voted unanimously to keep the 4-way stop signs, and also recommended
that flashing stop signs be installed, which would need to be budgeted for. The unapproved minutes
are attached.
Since the south side of the intersection is in Brookings County jurisdiction, the Brookings County

Commission will hold a public hearing on an ordinance to approve the installation of the 4-way stop
signs.
Fiscal Impact:
None at this time. The City and County may choose to budget for stop signs with solar-powered LED
blinking lights at a later date.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.

BROOKINGS TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
City & County Government Center, 520 3rd Street
Room 300 (3rd floor)
Thursday, October 12, 2017
12:10 p.m.
The Brookings Traffic Safety Committee held its monthly meeting on Thursday, October 12,
2017 at 12:10pm in the City & County Government Center, Room 300.
Members Present:Skip Webster, Jackie Lanning, John Howard, Kacie Richard, Dave
Erickson, Gary Gramm, Tim Heaton, Brian Lueders and Gregg Jorgenson
Members Absent:Carol Rettkowski, James Weiss, Rodney Farke, Tony Sonnenburg, and Matt
Bartley
Others Present: David Kneip, Greg Fargen
Call to Order: Howard called the meeting to order. Howard also noted that Rodney Farke has
been appointed to the Traffic Safety Committee and Acting Police Chief Dave Erickson is also
on the committee to replace Jeff Miller.
Approval of Minutes:Gramm pointed out that the minutes should be amended to state he
attended the meeting on August 10, 2017. Webster/Jorgenson made a motion to approve the
minutes from the August 10, 2017 meeting incorporating the amendment. All present voted
aye. Motion passed.
Additions to Agenda: None.
Thank you from Mayor Keith W. Corbett: Mayor Corbett spoke to how fortunate Brookings is
to have great volunteers and he is starting a campaign of gratitude to thank people for their time,
talent and treasures. He said above all, people give their time and talent to serve on
committees. He thanked the committee members and noted it takes time for members to look at
the issues and they are spending time away from their families to serve on committees. He
noted the committee tackled a lot of work last year and had a very busy year. He also invited
the committee members to the Mayor’s Holiday Party being held on December 7th at McCrory
Gardens from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.
Old Business:
Discussion on 4-way stop signs at the intersection of 22nd Avenue South and 32nd Street South:
Lanning described that the committee discussed possible 4-way stop signs at this intersection at
their January 15, 2015 meeting. The City did a warrant study in 2015, and the intersection did
not meet the warrants for a 4-way stop sign at that time. She indicated that temporary 4-way
stop signs were installed for the 6th Street reconstruction project due to the increased detour
traffic. Lanning indicated that the north side of the intersection is in City jurisdiction, and the
south side is in the County jurisdiction.
Lanning said she and the Assistant City Engineer performed another traffic study for the
intersection in October, 2017. She said it is difficult for a driver to see to the east when driving
south-bound, and the evergreen trees in the northeast corner of the intersection appear to be
wider and taller than during the previous study. Lanning read from the Manual of Uniform Traffic
Control Devices (MUTCD), Section 2B.07, Multi-Way Stop Applications. “The decision to install
multi-way stop control should be based on an engineering study.” Even though the traffic counts
and crash data criteria were not met, the following guidance was reviewed:
“Option:
Other criteria that may be considered in an engineering study include:
A. The need to control left-turn conflicts
B.The need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that generate high
pedestrian volumes
C.Location where a road user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able to
negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop; and
D.An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of similar
design and operating characteristics where multi-way stop control would improve traffic
operational characteristics of the intersection.
Lanning stated that the warrant for Criteria C is met due to the limited visibility in the
northeast corner of the intersection. Criteria D would also be met during peak traffic times.
Howard stated he has driven through that intersection numerous times and also thought the
stop signs were working well. Webster stated having solar flashing stop signs similar to the
intersection of Main Avenue South and 32nd Street South would be a benefit. Lanning noted
that the east/west stop signs at this intersection have a small red LED flashing light, and she
thought the ones on Main Avenue South were approximately $3500. Webster agreed with
keeping the 4-way stop signs but liked the added safety of the flashing stop signs. Erickson
asked if the current red flashing lights were ineffective and Webster said they were more visible
at night time. Jorgenson asked how long the lights had been on the stop signs and Erickson
thought there were installed at the same time as the stop signs. Erickson said the “stop ahead”
signs would also be helpful to warn the vehicles. A motion was made by Webster, seconded
by Gramm to recommend 4-way stop signs at the intersection of 22
nd Avenue South and
32nd Street South with the recommendation that flashing stop signs similar to the
intersection of Main Avenue South and 32nd Street South be installed. All present voted
aye. Motion passed.

Discussion on request to remove parking on the west side of 13
th Avenue between 6th Street
and 7th Street
Mayor Corbett spoke to this issue. He said that the 600 block of 13th Avenue is one of the main
entrances to SDSU. He parks near ROTC Armory for SDSU football games. He said
sometimes people park on the east and west side of 13th Avenue and it is difficult to drive on
13th Avenue. He said it is also dark on that block, and concerned that students could hit if
vehicles could not see them crossing the street. Greg Fargen, President of BankStar, said he
was not opposed nor in favor but wanted to share his observations. He said the street is very
different in the winter than the summer, and daytime versus nighttime. He said the street is
crowded, but realized the balancing act if parking were removed, it would push the parking
somewhere else. He stated if the City chooses not to remove parking, the committee may
consider lengthening the yellow no parking as it does get congested at the intersection. He
wondered if this item was step one of a longer term issue such as installing a median on that
block of 13th Avenue. He said for the record, the bank would want a curb cut in the median so
customers can take a left turn out of the driveway. David Kneip spoke and he owns the house
on the corner of 6th Street and 13th Avenue. They improved the house and have a family living
in the home. The tenants depend on 13th Avenue to park on because of the curved driveway.
He said when he bought the home, he considered installing a new driveway to the north that
would lead to the back yard along with some other home improvements. He said that he didn’t
know that 13th Avenue parking was a problem, and he was concerned about the tenant wouldn’t
have space to park. The previous tenant allowed vehicles to park along the sidewalk, but their
doors would get damaged because the vehicles were so close. Howard asked about the width
of the street. Lanning stated that 13th Avenue is wider north of 7th Street and has a median
which was constructed by SDSU. She stated that 13th Avenue is 26’ wide from lip of gutter to lip
of gutter. She said that it is the same width as 7th Street, 12th Avenue and 14th Avenue, which
all have parking on one side of the street. She noted there is 25’ of yellow curb at the south end
of 13th Avenue near 6th Street and old faded yellow curb at the north end near 7th Street as
though it had been removed years ago. Lanning noted that the tenant at 1225 13th Avenue and
Mr. Fargen had called, as well as Brian Gatzke who was in favor of removing parking. Kneip
stated it helped when the Traffic Safety Committee removed parking near the driveway at 6th
Street so vehicles can’t park so close to 6th Street. She noted sometimes the committee had
removed parking for 40’ near intersections to improve visibility. Howard was concerned that the
street is crowded especially around 4:00. Jorgenson asked what the ultimate goal was for that
street. Lanning said there had been some discussions about moving the traffic signal from 12th
Avenue to 13th Avenue, but the SDDOT is leaving the signal at 12th Avenue. She said widening
13th Avenue isn’t on the City’s plan right now and not has been budgeted. Kneip mentioned that
the median project would require them to remove the house due to the stacking vehicles. The
committee discussed that one-way streets were discussed at one time, but some property
owners were not in favor of it. Richard stated that there are a lot of vehicles that park on that
street especially at night. Corbett mentioned that people have asked him about parking on 13th
Avenue, and SDSU President Dunn had also brought it up. Webster said that traffic is the
committee’s problem, especially if it was causing a safety issue. Jorgenson stated it looked like
there was parking in the alley that people could use and the committee discussed the driveways
along 13th Avenue. Kneip noted that he thought that area was rezoned to allow “Dinky town”
style development. Lueders said he struggled with removing parking as the guests would have
nowhere to park and many other streets are the same width. Lanning was concerned that other
streets are the same width and also have parking on one side and removing parking may push
the parking issue onto other blocks. Webster said the committee could discuss parking at a
later meeting to find out more what SDSU has in mind. Howard said the committee could think
about the issue and look at it closer when there are more members at the next meeting.
Lanning stated she had mailed a notice to the property owners on that block and noted that
November would be too late in the season to paint yellow curb. Richard asked how much the
painting and sign would cost and Lanning stated the painting was a minimal cost, and a new
sign would be needed. Kneip noted that there already is 40’ of parking removed on the south
end of the block if the driveway width is included. Jorgenson noted that removing parking at the
intersection would help the intersection visibility, but that was not the original concern. Howard
did not want to rush into a decision and Jorgenson hated to remove parking for the sake of
removing parking. Erickson noted that an officer does ticket that area all the time.
A motion was made by Lueders, seconded by Heaton, to remove 25’ of parking on west
side of 13th Avenue south of 7th Street, and to move this item to old business at the next
meeting. All in favor voted aye. Motion passed.
Discussion on Traffic Safety Committee Purpose Statement:
Howard attended the Mayor’s coffee and one topic they discussed was the purpose of the
Traffic Safety Committee. He said there were a number of items in the current purpose
statement that the committee has not done and it would be good to update it. Howard asked the
committee to review the purpose statement and to fine tune it to reflect what the committee does
and how they do it. He said, for example, one of the items listed is to coordinate with the school
on safety programs, which the committee has not done. He stated the full committee could
review the statement or it could be a subcommittee. Webster said this was an important topic
and the full committee should be involved. Lanning handed out the current resolution that
outlined the committee’s purpose with duties and responsibilities. Howard asked that the
members review the information and make recommendations at next month’s meeting. He said
the City Council could adopt the changes after the committee made a recommendation.
Member Reports:
Howard said at the end of the mayor’s breakfast, he talked with members from two other
committees. He said he would like to coordinate on a semi-regular basis with the bike
committee and the planning commission. He said it was important to discuss safety when
working on bicycle issues and the other committee members said they could brief the Traffic
Safety Committee at a future meeting.
The next meeting is scheduled for November 9, 2017. Meeting adjourned.

Action on Resolution 17-096, a Resolution awarding Bids on 2017-11STI, Airport Taxilane Project.
Summary:
This resolution will award bids for 2017-11STI, Airport Taxilane Project to Bowes Construction, Inc.
Background:
The City received an application from a pilot to construct an airport hangar this fall, which will include
an agriculture-spraying business. Isaac Wilde is currently leasing space at the Brookings Airport
Terminal and his business would move to this new hangar. The Airport Layout Plan shows a
preliminary design for the ag-spraying area to be located southwest of the City’s Airport Rescue &
Fire Fighting (ARFF) building. This ag-spraying location will allow for an external parking lot for
customers, separate gate access for delivery of ag-spraying materials, and keeps the commercial
area separate from the private pilot hangar area.
The construction project involves installing water mains and services and an asphalt taxilane
extension for the ag-spraying hangar in the location shown on the attached map. The project has a
June 2018 completion date. Helms & Associates designed the project and it includes the following
work:
·Base Bid: grading, asphalt paving, and lighting work for taxilane
·Alternate 1 (Water Main Work): water main and services
The City held a bid letting on Tuesday, October 17, 2017 and received the following bid:
Bowes Construction, Inc.: Base Bid:$33,585.38
Alternate 1:$22,774.00
Total Base Bid + Alternate 1:$56,359.38
The City budgeted $100,000 for taxilane improvements for 2018. The City is proposing to use
Second Penny Funds to be able to start construction this fall to accommodate the hangar
construction schedule. Helms & Associates will also be designing a separate project to install
sanitary sewer to the ag-spraying hangar area, which will be bid separately.
The total low bid of the Base Bid plus Alternate 1 is $56,359.38, which is approximately 43% lower
than the Helms & Associates Engineers Estimate of $100,057.00.
Fiscal Impact:
The City will enter into a contract with Bowes Construction, Inc. for the low bid amount of $56,359.38
for the Base Bid and Alternate 1 (Water Main Work).

fully reconstruct the building.
Background:
The property is located at the northeast corner of 22nd Avenue and Minnesota Drive. Dairy Queen

2 District.
The area contains a mix of commercial uses. The B-4 District is intended for larger lot commercial
development primarily along 6th Street near the Interstate and near the Highway 14 Bypass. The B-2
District is designed to provide a variety of commercial uses that are less intensive than some uses
allowed in the B-4 District.
Findings of Fact:
1. The Comprehensive Plan is used for guidance when reviewing a rezoning request.
The Comprehensive Plan provides the following guidance:
a.The area is shown for business/commercial uses.
b.Generally supports rezoning to bring parcels into zoning conformance where
appropriate.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission voted 8-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning request.

OFFICIAL MINUTES
Chairperson Al Heuton called the regular meeting of the City Planning Commission to order
on Tuesday, October 3, 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, Lee Ann Pierce, Kristi Tornquist, Eric Rasmussen and Heuton.
Absent was Alan Johnson. Also present were City Planner Staci Bungard, City Engineer
Jackie Lanning, Ryan McKnight, Jeremy Scott, Blake Hoffman, Nacasius Ujah, Matt
Anderson, Jordan McCaskill, Joseph Mohr, Tanner Nelson, Jacob Rohlik, and others.
Item #5b -Frauenshuh Hospitality Group of Minnesota LLC has submitted a petition to
rezone Lot 1A of Lot 1, Block 1, Except the North 41 feet thereof, Mayland’s First Addition,
also known as 520 22nd Avenue, from a Business B-4 Highway District to a Business B-2
District.
(Aiken/Fargen) Motion to approve the rezone request. All present voted aye. MOTION
CARRIED.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #5b –This rezone request is for future development improvements. Dairy Queen
currently occupies this parcel. The property is nonconforming in the B-4 District and the
building does not meet the required setbacks in the B-4 District but does in the B-2 District.
The B-4 District is intended for larger lot uses specifially along the 6th Street near the
interstate. Where the B-2 District was designed to provide a variety of commercial uses
which were less intensive uses than in the B-4 District.
Ryan Schiller, Director of Operations for Fishback Financial Corporation wonders the
reasoning for this request. Bungard explained that at this point, they are not able to complete
improvements to their property. However if the rezone request is approved, they would be
able to improve this. Fargen asked for the differences between the B-2 and B-2A Districts.
Bungard explained that B-2A is directed more towards office uses and restaurants could also
be there. However, the signage requirements would restrict them from being in a B-2A
District.
