Introduction and First Reading on Ordinance 17-031, an Ordinance Revising Article IV, Site Runoff
and Sediment Control, of Chapter 72, Storm Drainage, of the Code of Ordinances of the City of
Brookings and Pertaining to Operation and Maintenance of Best Management Practices in the City of
Brookings, South Dakota. Public Hearing: January 9, 2018.
Summary:
This ordinance pertains to the operation and maintenance of Best Management Practices (BMPs)
that prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to the waters of the state, such as drainage
facilities and detention ponds.
Background:
The South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources provided an annual review of
the City of Brookings Small MS4 Storm Water Management Program which is related to water quality.
SDDENR commented that the City needed requirements to ensure adequate long-term operation
and maintenance of BMPs, such as drainage facilities and detention ponds.
The City of Brookings requires the individual BMP property owner to maintain each specific BMP,
such as mowing, sediment control and other maintenance. The Engineering Department staff
reviewed the current ordinance pertaining to maintenance of BMPs and updated the ordinance to be
more specific to meet the DENR requirement.
This ordinance will amend Division Post Construction Site Runoff Erosion and Sediment Control, of
Article IV, Site Runoff Erosion and Sediment Control, of Chapter 72, Storm Drainage, by adding a
section to the ordinance to clarify operation and maintenance requirements.
Fiscal Impact:
None.

minimize stormwater runoff rates and volumes and to prevent, control, and minimize
stormwater pollution. Non-structural BMPs may include ongoing treatment
requirements, operating procedures, and practices to control site runoff, spillage or
leaks, sludge or water disposal, or drainage from raw materials storage. BMPs may
also be temporary, such as BMPs put into place during construction and maintained
until the site is permanently stabilized.
Sec. 72-75. – Operation and Maintenance of BMPs
Permanent structural and/or nonstructural BMPs shall be implemented to control and
minimize stormwater runoff rates and volumes and to prevent, control, and minimize
stormwater pollutants as required in this Chapter.
(1) It is a violation for any owner to improperly construct or operate or fail to
maintain the proper function of privately owned structural BMPs. Maintenance
activities include, but are not limited to, removing trash and debris, reseeding,
mowing, pest control, removing sediment accumulation, removing vegetation,
replacing filter media, and repairing eroded areas.
(2) It is a violation for any owner to place or deposit debris, yard waste, garbage, or
other materials that are incompatible with the function of the BMPs, or permit
such items to be deposited in any manner on privately owned structural BMPs.
(3) The owner shall immediately notify the City Engineer of any discharge of a
pollutant, debris, yard waste, garbage, excessive sediment, or materials
incompatible with BMPs, including from a privately owned BMP, into the City’s
municipal storm water drainage system. This notification shall include the
location of the discharge, type of pollutant, concentration and volume, if known,
and corrective actions taken by the owner. The owner shall document and submit
to the City Engineer all pertinent information.
(4) In the case of any physical failure, including, but not limited to, structural,
equipment, or media failure (e.g., failure of BMP fixtures including, but not limited
to, screens, riprap, aerators, design features, and fences) of a privately owned
structural BMP that may cause pollutants to enter the City’s municipal stormwater
system, the owner shall immediately notify the City Engineer of the incident. This
notification shall include the location failure, type and extent of the failure, if
known, and corrective actions taken by the owner. The owner shall document
and submit to the City Engineer all pertinent information.
If privately owned BMPs are constructed, operated, and/or maintained in a manner that
results in discharge of pollutants to the City's storm water drainage system, the City may
require the owner to implement additional structural and/or nonstructural BMPs to
prevent the further discharge of pollutants to the City’s storm water drainage system.

Single Family District to Residence R-3 Apartment District; Residence R-1C to Residence R-2 Two-
Family District; Residence R-3 Apartment District to Residence R-1C Single Family District; and
Residence R-2 Two-Family District to Residence R-1C Single Family District (Timberline Addition).
Public Hearing: January 9, 2018.
Summary:
The applicant is seeking approval of a residential rezoning request to match a new preliminary plat
layout in the Timberline Addition.
Background:
The owner is proposing to rezone land to align with a new preliminary plat design and remedy split
zoning on all proposed lots. The property is currently vacant and is directly west of Timberline
Addition. The land was originally zoned in August 2016; however, the preliminary design has
changed making it necessary to slightly revise the zoning. The applicant is not proposing any new
residential zoning districts rather just shifting the boundaries of the existing districts.
Findings of Fact:
1.The Future Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan shows this general area as residential.
2.City utilities are available to the property.
3.The area is a logical extension of residential land use and fits the current development pattern.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission voted 9-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning request.

request, there will also be a preliminary plat that will be acted on tonight. Rasmussen asked
what the difference is between R-1C and R-1D. Bungard explained that R-1D allows for
smaller lots and lesser setbacks. Tornquist questioned the large lot size that the applicant is
requesting the R-1D District which allows for smaller lots. Bungard explained that these lots
are larger than typical R-1D Districts lots, but by using the R-1D zoning, a larger house will be
able to be put on these lots because of the smaller setbacks.

Introduction and First Reading on Ordinance 17-034, an Ordinance Amending the Landscaping
Regulations. Public Hearing: January 9, 2018.
Summary:
Discussion on amendments to the landscaping regulations.
Background:
Historically, there have been two main components of the landscaping/greenspace requirements in
the City of Brookings. For multi-family uses, the greenspace requirements was based upon 300
square feet per unit regardless of the number of bedrooms within each unit as well as tree plantings
based upon the amount of surfacing occurring on the lot. Commercial and industrial uses had similar
tree planting requirements. The Planning Commission discussed landscaping/greenspace
requirements during the April Planning Commission meeting and provided staff with the following
guidance for drafting changes to the landscaping regulations:
·Landscaping should add value through aesthetic improvements to the property.
·Drainage improvements are acceptable within the yard requirements.
·Plant life and vegetation is viewed as a higher priority than square footage (quality vs.
quantity).
Utilizing the guidance from the Planning Commission, staff drafted landscaping regulations with
similarities to the current surface based requirements.
The most significant change in the greenspace requirements is the removal of the 300 square feet
per unit for multi-family uses. While this reduction appears to be a significant change, the reality is
often the additional greenspace was not usable greenspace in the aspect of it was added to the
setbacks along the perimeter of the property and accounted for a few additional feet in width. In
addition, drainage improvements qualify as meeting the greenspace requirement. If this change is
acceptable, the greenspace requirement becomes the setbacks for the particular district in which it is
located. To ensure the greenspace remains open and free of obstructions, staff is recommending
parking, storage, merchandise and accessory structures are not allowed within the setback area. As
an example, the current zoning regulations allow accessory structures to be five feet from the
property line as well as the conversion of fifty percent of the required landscaped area may be used
for parking spaces in excess of the minimum requirement.
Other notable changes include the addition of foundation plantings, which would be required around
the perimeter of all multi-family buildings and at a minimum along one foundation of a commercial or
industrial use. The intent is to provide additional areas for vegetation to help with runoff from roofs,
provide a visual break along facades, create separation between parking areas and buildings, and
enhance entrances to buildings. The planting strip in commercial and industrial zones is proposed to
be increased from eight to ten feet with a minimum five foot strip along the side lot line. In addition,

File #:ORD 17-034,Version:1
language is proposed to require fifty percent of the rear yard of single and two-family uses to be
maintained in a landscape area.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission voted 7-2 to recommend approval of the landscape ordinance with one
amendment.

pertaining to Landscaping Requirements for the purposes of Administration of
the Zoning Ordinance.
Be It Ordained by the City Council of the City of Brookings, State of South Dakota: that
Chapter 94, Zoning, shall be amended as follows:
Section 1.
Section 94-399 – Landscaping
(a) Purpose and intent.The city recognizes the health, safety, aesthetic, ecological
and economic value of landscaping and screening. The provisions of this section
are intended to:
(1) Add visual interest to open spaces and blank facades;
(2) Soften dominant building mass;
(3) Provide definition for public walkways and open space areas;
(4) Ensure significant tree canopy shading to reduce glare and heat build-up;
(5) Improve the visual quality and continuity within and between developments;

(8) Improve air quality and provide a buffer from air and noise pollution;
(9) Ensure safe and aesthetic treatment of ponding areas;
(10) Enhance the overall aesthetic conditions within the city;
(11) Limit sight line obstructions and drainage conflicts; and
(12) Prevent conflicts with utilities.
(b) Landscape plans.
(1) Except for single family, two family, and property zoned agricultural, airport, or
floodway district, a landscape plan must be submitted:

improve stormwater infiltration. All parking lots with 20,000 square feet or
more of surfacing shall be landscaped in accordance with the following
interior parking lot standards.
a. Twenty percent of the trees required in section 94-399(c)(2) shall be
planted in parking lot islands. Parking lot islands are raised or depressed
non-traffic areas often containing landscape plantings in off-street parking

cover.
c. Walkways, trails, driveways, bus shelters and entrance drives leading to a
parking or loading area may be located within the landscape area.
Walkways abutting driveways shall be clearly delineated and reserved
strictly for pedestrian use.
d. Detention/retention ponds may be located within the minimum landscape
area.
e. Front yards of lots with residential uses shall be devoted entirely to
landscaped area except for the necessary surfacing of driveways and
walkways used to reach parking and loading areas. Walkways abutting
driveways shall be clearly delineated and reserved strictly for pedestrian
use.
(6)Foundation plantings. A minimum planting strip of three (3’) feet shall be
installed along all building foundations. Foundation plantings shall consist
primarily of shrubs, perennials, and native grasses.
Exceptions:
a. Building foundations directly abutting a public sidewalk, public plaza, or
other public hardscape feature shall be exempt from the foundation
plantings.
b. Business and industrial uses shall install plantings along foundations
facing a public right-of-way. However, in business and industrial districts,
corner lots may incorporate the total required square footage of foundation
plantings into a landscape area adjacent to the building foundation along
the street right-of-way with the highest classification or at the primary
entrance to the building.
c. Single family, two-family, and agricultural uses are exempt from
foundation plantings.
(7) Streetscape.In areas where a district or street specific streetscape plan has
been adopted by the City Council, development must provide landscaping as
set forth in the district or street specific streetscape plan. Streetscape
plantings located within the property lines of the site may be credited toward
the required number of trees and shrubs. Streetscape plantings in the public
right-of-way shall not be credited toward the required number of trees and
shrubs. Landscaping placed or removed in the public right-of-way must
receive City approvals for right-of-way plantings and must conform with City
right-of-way planting policies.
(d) Maintenance.
(1)Material maintenance.The property owner must maintain all landscaping and
screening materials shown on the approved landscape plan in a manner
consistent with the intent and purpose of the plan. Approved landscaping and
screening materials that die, become diseased or are significantly damaged
must be replaced at the next appropriate planting period with new materials in
conformance with the approved landscape plan and applicable City Code
standards.
(2)Structure maintenance.Landscaping and screening structures such as fences
and walls must be maintained in good condition, free of graffiti, peeling paint,
decay or warping, must be repaired when needed and replaced periodically to
maintain a structurally sound condition.
(3)Removal.Unless a modified landscape plan is approved, landscaping and
screening materials and structures approved on a landscape plan must not be
removed except when replaced in accordance with this section.
(e)Redevelopment compliance.
(1)Redevelopment or large addition.When either full redevelopment of a site is
proposed or an addition that would increase total floor area on a site by 25
percent or more, a landscape plan for the entire site, demonstrating compliance
with the requirements of this section, must be submitted for approval.
(2)Small addition.When an addition is proposed that would increase total floor
area on a site by less than 25 percent, but would physically impact existing
landscaping, a modified landscape plan for the portion of the site affected by
the addition, demonstrating compliance with the requirements of this section,
must be submitted for approval.
(3) Constrained sites. The City recognizes that highly constrained redevelopment
sites may have difficulty meeting the landscaping requirements. Given that the
City seeks to encourage rather than impede redevelopment, highly constrained
redevelopment sites may seek relief from the landscape standards through the
planned development process. In considering planned development flexibility
to landscape standards, the City shall:
a. Balance the public interest in promoting redevelopment with the public
interest in providing landscaping; and
b. Consider whether reduced landscaping levels are balanced by alternative
methods of providing visual interest to the site including but not limited to
sculpture, public art or higher quality landscaping materials.
Section 2.
Section 94-399, as set forth above, also amends the landscaping requirements
set forth in the density, area, yard and height regulations tables set forth in Sections 94-
126(f), 94-127(f), 94-128(f) and 94-130(f). The following provision, denoted by a single
asterisk (*), shall replace the current provision and shall be included in each density,
area, yard and height regulation table for Sections 94-126(f), 94-127(f), 94-128(f) and
94-130(f):
* Parking lots shall be screened from single-family and two-family residential uses
according to Section 94-401.
Section 3.
Any or all ordinance in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.

OFFICIAL MINUTES
Chairperson Al Heuton called the regular meeting of the City Planning Commission to order
on Tuesday, December 5, 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, Lee Ann Pierce, Kristi Tornquist, Eric Rasmussen
and Heuton. Also present were City Planner Staci Bungard, Community Development
Director Mike Struck, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, Justin Bucher – Banner Associates, and
others.
Item #7b - The City of Brookings has submitted ordinance amendments to Section 94-399
pertaining to Landscaping.
(Rasmussen/Pierce ) Motion to remove from the table. All in favor.
(Pierce/Gregg) Motion to approve the amendments.
(Pierce/Tornquist) Amendment to the motion that Section 1., (c), 6b. (Exceptions to
foundation plantings.) shall read “ Business and industrial uses shall install plantings along
foundations facing a public right of way. However, corner lots in business and industrial
districts may incorporate the total required square footage foundation plantings into a
landscape area adjacent to the building foundation along the street right-of-way with the
highest classification or at the primary entrance to the building. All present voted aye.
AMENDMENT CARRIED.
Motion as amended was voted on. Drew and Tornquist voted no. All others voted yes.
MOTION CARRIED.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #7b – Fargen asked how the city will handle the properties that are already developed
and they want to come forward and make any kind of improvements but they can’t meet the
new requirements. Struck explained that they will be considered non-conforming status and
they will be grandfathered in. These properties are allowed to do a certain amount of
improvements before they are required to meet new requirements. Heuton asked, in this
type of situation, would a property owner be able to apply for a variance if they are not able to
meet the requirements. Struck explained that a variance could be applied for through the
Board of Adjustment.
Pierce questioned item b2. Under Section 1, “Landscape plans must be reviewed and
approved by the Community Development Department.” If a citizen comes in and the city
doesn’t approve their plan, does the citizen have an appeal option in the ordinance? Struck
explained that if there is an interpretation question on any ordinance, a citizen has the right to
appeal this to the Board of Adjustment. Particularly Pierce questioned the “Constrained sites”
portion under Section 1, (e) 3. Struck stated that a developer may proceed through the
Planned Development process if they feel they have a constrained site. Constrained sites
might be considered if the developer has some unusual terrain to deal with or an irregular lot
might cause some issues. Aiken asked if something like large tree preservation would qualify
as a Constrained Sight qualification? Struck explained that this could apply.
Johnson asked if there would be restrictions against gardens and the size of gardens, in
another ordinance? Struck explained that the only restriction the City would have would be
height restrictions.
Tornquist is concerned about Section 1., (c) Landscaping Standards, 6b. Exceptions to
foundations plantings. She wondered why we wouldn’t want to require foundation plantings
on all 4 sides? Struck explained that if there were drive-thru facilities needed, you wouldn’t
be able to have foundation plantings where the drive-thru window is located. Bungard also
added that the drive lane to the drive-thru window would make it impossible to have
foundation plantings. Tornquist wondered if there could be an exception for those that had
drive-thru windows, rather than to allow everyone the option for this exception.
Aiken feels that the amendments have been improved greatly. There are some adjustments
made that are pertinent to tree plantings.

OFFICIAL MINUTES
Chairperson Al Heuton called the regular meeting of the City Planning Commission to order
on Tuesday, November 7, 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, Lee Ann Pierce, Kristi Tornquist, Eric Rasmussen
and Heuton. Also present were Community Development Director Mike Struck, City Engineer
Jackie Lanning, David Jones, Joshua Westwick, and others.
Item #5b - The City of Brookings has submitted ordinance amendments to Section 94-399
pertaining to Landscaping.
(Aiken/Gregg) Motion to remove from the table. All in favor.
(Tornquist/Aiken) Motion to table. All present voted aye. MOTION CARRIED.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #5b – Struck explained that City Staff found some recent projects and they completed a
comparison for the number of trees required based on the old ordinance and the proposed
new ordinance, where the number of trees increased based on the footprint size of the
building. So a smaller office building would only increase by a few trees, but a larger
warehouse type building would have significantly more trees. Staff feels that you would need
to go with a ratio type scenario in order for the tree plantings to be healthy with proper
spacing.

Absent was Alan Johnson. Also present were City Planner Staci Bungard, City Engineer

Item #6a - The City of Brookings has submitted ordinance amendments to Section 94-398
pertaining to Landscaping.
(Gregg/Aiken) Motion to remove from the table. All in favor.
(Aiken/Fargen) Motion to approve the amendments.
(Rasmussen/Tornquist) Motion to table. All present voted aye. MOTION CARRIED.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #6a –The presented amendment is based off public comment and comments from the
Planning Commission. Staff did complete research based on the commission requests. The
most significant change in the greenspace requirements is the removal of the 300 square feet
per unit requirement. For each district, the required setbacks will be the greenspace. This
change will make for more usable greenspace as it will remain open and free from
obstructions. It will create more of a streetscape and have landscaping and plantings around
the perimeter of a sight. Parking, storage, merchandise, and other structures will not be
allowed to be in this setback area. While this reduction appears to be a significant change,
the reality is that the greenspace was not usable.
Other notable changes include the addition of foundation plantings, required around multi-
family buildings. And at a minimum along one side of the foundation on a commercial or
industrial use building. This would eliminate asphalt or concrete parking going right up to the
outside of buildings. Also, the planting strip in commercial and industrial districts is proposed
to go from 8’ to 10’ with a minimum 5’ required strip along the side lot line. The 5’ strip along
the side lot line is an addition in this amendment. Another change is the requirement of 50%
of the rear yard in single and two-family uses to be maintained in landscape area. Heuton
asked if this change would affect an accessory building being added to a single family home,
would they have to be 25 foot off of the lot line? Bungard explained that this wouldn’t apply to
single and two family. Just multi-family. But the 50% requirement could affect someone in
the downtown area if they were wanting to put up a detached garage.
Bungard showed how the greenspace area would affect a current 5-unit and 22 unit
apartment complex. Tornquist asked if additional parking would then be required? Bungard
stated that it would be possible depending on the requirements for the size of the complex.
In the 22 unit apartment complex example, there would be additional perimeter greenspace
required from the current requirements. Tornquist asked if foundation plantings on one side
would still be required? Bungard stated that all sides would be required to have foundation
plantings because it is a residential use.
Aiken commented that some greenspace will be lost in certain areas, but then it will be made
up in other areas such as tree plantings with islands in a parking lot. Bungard concurred with
this statement.
Pierce wondered why is there a height requirement being applied to the conifers? If it is a
newly planted conifer tree, 6 foot is rather tall, and she wonders why a 4 foot tree wouldn’t be
acceptable. Pierce feels that typically residential single-family developments are the only
ones that are going to plant conifers and there could be more of an expense if the 6 foot tree
is required. Bungard stated that conifers could also be planted in multi-family and apartment
developments and business and industrial properties. Pierce then wondered if this
requirement was going to apply to residential single-family developments then? Bungard was
unsure of the reasoning behind the 6 foot height requirement. Aiken explained that the 6 foot
height is a standard requirement. Aiken questioned the requirement of having one tree
planting for the first 4,000 square feet of surfaced area. Is this counting the building square
footage or the footprint of the building as square footage? Bungard recalled that a recent
conversation with City Staff indicated that when you start looking at a larger sight, such as a
large retail business, there will be a significant amount of landscaping area, and that wouldn’t
include the building footprint. Fargen noted that the ordinance states that the landscaping
plan must be reviewed and approved by the Community Development staff. Fargen asked
who is this? Bungard explained that it would be herself, or Mike Struck, Community
Development Director. Fargen is also concerned that the staff report indicates that the
landscaping regulations should help control density. He feels that there are several ways of
controlling density and doesn’t feel that density control should be included in the landscaping
regulations. He does like the idea of quality over quantity in this amended ordinance.
Drew is concerned about the requirement of landscaping around all 4 sides of a multi-family
building. He feels that there are going to be sides of a building that will not receive sufficient
sunlight for proper growth and health of landscaping. And this will cause extra maintenance
work. Additionally, if it is a garage, you are not going to be able to landscape around all 4
sides. He feels the verbiage needs to be adjusted to indicate a situation like a garage where
you cannot landscape on all 4 sides. He feels that the blanket verbiage of landscaping
around all 4 sides needs to be rewritten.
Pierce is concerned about page 3, Item #5b, regarding Minimum Landscape Area. It says
that single family and two family uses may have accessory structures, access drives, and
parking located within the required landscape area provided not less than 50 percent of the
rear yard is maintained in living ground cover. In previous conversations it was discussed that
this requirement is put in to place so people cannot use their whole backyard for parking.
However she is concerned with the properties in the Historic District and around SDSU where
there is a lot of rental properties and there is parking problems. A lot of the landlords have
made additional parking in their backyards to keep parking off the streets. She feels that this
ordinance will discourage property owners from trying to resolve the parking issue.
Additionally there are some smaller homes that do not have driveways in front of the house
and their only driveway or parking is at the rear of the property in the alley.
So the 50% requirement needs to be looked at and maybe lowered. She wonders if this
requirement could be tied to alley accesses. And if you have alley access for parking, then
this number should be different.
Tornquist and Pierce feel that the ordinance is difficult to follow as there are different rules for
different districts.

Item #8b – Pierce is concerned about “Section b, Landscape plans” – 1. Except for single
family and two family uses. She feels that the ag district should also be exempt.
Additionally, “Section c, Landscaping standards” – 3. Minimum tree size. She feels that item
c1. “Conifer trees may only be planted on the perimeter of the site” should be removed since
the only place we have problems with conifer tree plantings is in parking lots. And maybe in
Section c3-4 Interior parking lot landscaping it could state that conifer trees cannot be planted
in parking lots.

Second Reading and Action on Ordinance 17-025, an Ordinance revising Division 3 of Chapter 82 of
the Code of Ordinances of the City of Brookings and Pertaining to Speed Zones in the City of
Brookings, South Dakota.
Summary:
This Ordinance will revise the Brookings City Ordinance for speed limits on 6th Street to be the same
as the speed limits adopted by the State of South Dakota and for speed limit changes on 20 th Street
South between Main Avenue South and Western Avenue South.
Background:
The State of South Dakota recently adopted new speed limits for 6th Street, which is a state highway.
The new speed limit for 6th Street was changed to be 35 miles per hour from 370 feet East of 17th
Avenue to the East City limits of Brookings. The City staff also found that the City Ordinance had not
been updated to reflect a new speed limit on 20th Street South between Main Avenue South and
Western Avenue South. The Traffic Safety Committee recommended at their September 10, 2015
meeting to change the speed limit on 20th Street South between Main Avenue South and Western
Avenue to 25 mph, and the minutes are attached.
The City Ordinance will reflect the new speed limits on 6th Street East of 17th Avenue, and on 20th
Street South between Main Avenue South and Western Avenue South.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.

BROOKINGS TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
City & County Government Center
Thursday, September 10, 2015
12:10 p.m.
The Brookings Traffic Safety Committee held its monthly meeting on Thursday, September
10, 2015, at 12:10pm in the City & County Government Center Suite 230, Room 241.
Members Present:Carol Rettkowski, Tony Sonnenburg, John Howard, Skip Webster, Brian
Lueders, Becky Schmieding, Shayn Damm, James Weiss, Jeff Miller, and Jackie Lanning.
Members Absent:Gary Gramm, Gregg Jorgenson, Tim Heaton, and Pete Kirchhevel.
Others Present: Matt Bartley
Call to Order: Howard called the meeting to order. Webster/Schmieding made a motion to
approve the minutes from the August 13, 2015 meeting. All present voted aye. Motion
passed.
Additions to Agenda: None
Old Business:
Discussion on the speed limit on 20th Street South between Western Avenue South and Main
Avenue South
Lanning stated last month the committee decided to monitor this area after the new
school opened to watch the traffic patterns. Miller stated he has not seen any foot traffic
crossing 20th Street South; however he saw a lot of vehicle traffic going both ways on the
road. He stated after the development was finished, he believed there would be more
pedestrian traffic. Vehicles driving easterly on 20th Street South have limited visibility over the
hill and the speed limit is currently 35 mph. Miller would like the speed limit to be lowered to
25 mph especially with visibility over the hill. Webster agreed and stated the speed limit is 55
mph west of Western Avenue and that vehicles traveling east on 20
th Street South are
traveling at a high speed.
Schmieding asked if a 4-way stop sign at Western Avenue and 20th Street South
would be a better option. Miller said in the future the stop signs may be an option. Lanning
stated the City would need to conduct a traffic study to see if the intersection would warrant a
4-way stop sign. Schmieding asked when 20th Street South is widened in 2017 if there would
be pedestrians crossing the road. She stated if the east end of 20
th Street South is 35 mph,
then making a section of the road 25 mph seemed inconsistent. Rettkowski stated she drove
the area and would like to see signs installed warning of the reduced speeds. Webster/
Rettkowski made a motion to reduce the speed limit to 25 mph on 20th Street South
between Western Avenue South and Main Avenue South. 7 members voted aye, 2
members voted no. Motion passed.
New Business:
Member Reports:
Lanning received a request to look at parking on 13th Avenue between 5th Street and
7th Street which will be on next month’s agenda.
Lanning received a request to have DOT to conduct a traffic study at 13th Avenue and
6th Street to see if a signal is needed at that intersection or if the 12th Avenue signal
could be moved.
Weiss asked if the 3-way stop sign can be removed due to the construction being
completed on 12th Avenue and 8th Street.
The next meeting will be October 8, 2015. Meeting adjourned.

Public Hearing and Action on Ordinance 17-026, an Ordinance amending Section 94-398 of the
Zoning Ordinance, pertaining to fences, walls, and hedges.
Summary:
Staff has prepared an Ordinance Amendment to the fences, walls, and hedges section of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Background:
Currently, the Ordinance prohibits any fence, wall, or hedge above 30 inches in the front yard. A
fence with a horizontal rail design that is 70 percent open may be up to 42 inches in height. The front
yard includes all the yard area between the front of the residence and the front property line. In an
effort to work with property owners, staff is proposing an amendment that will allow fences, hedges,
and walls in the front yard to be maximum height of 4 feet. Any fence, wall, or hedge shall not be
over 30 inches in height in the sight distance triangle, unless the design is at least 70 percent open
for fences.
The Planning Commission tabled the item on September 5, 2017 and again on October 3, 2017.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission voted 8-1 to recommend approval of the ordinance amendment on
November 7, 2017.

OFFICIAL MINUTES
Chairperson Al Heuton called the regular meeting of the City Planning Commission to order
on Tuesday, September 5, 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,
Alan Gregg, Alan Johnson, Lee Ann Pierce, Kristi Tornquist, Eric Rasmussen and Heuton.
Absent was Greg Fargen. Also present were City Planner Staci Bungard, Community
Development Director Mike Struck, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, Mike McClemans, John
Mills, Donald Denure, David Jones, Rick Ribstein, Larry Fjeldos, Kelan Bludorn, Mary and
Orren Erickson, Kathy Larson, John Kratochvil, Tom Becker, Shawn Weber, Josh Westwick,
Stacy Davis, Jolane Tomhave, and others.
Item #8c – The City of Brookings has submitted ordinance amendments to Section 94-398
pertaining to Fences, Walls, and Hedges.
(Tornquist/Aiken) Motion to approve the ordinance amendments.
(Gregg/Rasmussen) Motion to table. All present voted aye. MOTION CARRIED.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #8c –Staff has reviewed the current ordinance and is proposing amendments to the
ordinance to try to balance neighborhood privacy needs with safety concerns keeping a clear
sight distance triangle. Currently fences, walls and hedges can only be 30 inches in height in
the front yard. Unless it is a slotted fence that is 70 percent open, then the height restriction
is 42 inches in the front yard. Staff is proposing an amendment to allow fences, walls and
hedges to be a maximum height of 4 feet in the front yard. However in the sight distance
triangle, the fence, wall or hedge will need to be 30 inches or less unless it is 70 percent
open then it may be up to 42 inches in height. Heuton clarified that the site triangle includes
the right-of-way intersections and the alley.
Josh Westwick, 502 9th Avenue, received a letter from the City regarding the height of his
hedge. He purchased this house a year ago and had/has never heard of this issue until
recently. He feels that the amendments to the site triangle ordinance should itself take care
of the safety issue. Westwick has spoken with several residents in Brookings they were
never aware of the ordinance or they had not yet been contacted by the City that they needed
to take care of the hedge in their yard. Westwick is in favor of an amendment to this
ordinance. However, he feels that the amendment being proposed for Section 94-407,
Intersection Safety Zones, addresses the safety issues that City Staff are concerned about.
He also feels that the word “hedges” should be removed entirely from Section 94-397 upon
the approval of the amendments to the site triangle ordinance Section 94-407. Westwick
feels that if a resident abides to the site triangle ordinance, then the hedge height in a front
yard becomes irrelevant and should not be a concern to the city unless the hedge is hanging
over the sidewalk. And if a height needs to be attached to the ordinance, then he feels that
the height should be 72 inches.
Westwick feels the current ordinance and even the proposed amendments have a negative
impact on his quality of life. He also feels that the lowering of the hedges will have a negative
impact on his residence. Westwick feels that there are benefits to hedges. They provide
greenery, oxygen, privacy, they reduce noise and provide habitat for birds and other species.
Hedges also provide charm and character to properties in the historic districts.
Westwick was told by city staff that the current ordinance mandates that homeowners are not
allowed to have plants, shrubs or bushes that are more than 30 inches in height in front of
the house line, regardless if it is a hedge or not. He asked if this is currently included in the
hedge ordinance. Struck stated that vegetation of fences, walls and hedges pertains to only
the front yard. So if you have landscaping materials, such as taller plants or grasses, they
are not considered a hedge. Westwick asked if a standalone bush was considered part of a
hedge. Struck stated that they look at the continuous vegetation that could create a solid
structure. Westwick wondered if homeowners are allowed to plant gardens in their front
yards, and if so, is this attached to the hedge ordinance. Struck stated that they are allowed
at this time as long as it doesn’t fit under the definition of a hedge. Westwick questioned
what the definition of a low lying tree was. Struck explained that if someone were to plant
evergreens at a distance that could grow together, this would be considered a hedge.
Westwick feels that the hedges on his property are not a safety concern and he shouldn’t be
required to lower his hedges, other than those that are in the site distance triangle. Heuton
asked if there would be a ‘grandfathering’ process with this. Struck explained that the City
will not be going through a grandfathering process as it would be nearly impossible to keep
track of this. Drew asked Westwick what he thinks would be a good height for hedges.
Westwick feels that 48 inches is too low and that 72 inches would be a good height in areas
of the yard that do not affect the safety of others.
Jolane Tomhave also received a letter from the City. She appreciates the safety side of the
ordinance at the site triangles and near the driveways. She hadn’t thought about the safety
side of it and she appreciates that the city brought this to her attention. She has trimmed the
hedges on her property in the site areas but doesn’t agree with the ordinance for the
remaining hedges. Staci Davis, 510 9th Ave, explained that they have a hedge that goes
along an alley way between her house and the alley. When they purchased the house 4
years ago, they weren’t aware of this ordinance. Since they purchased their property, they
have trimmed and lowered the hedge, but she doesn’t agree with a height restriction to
hedges unless it is in the site triangle. Tomhave stated that there are benefits to having
greenery. The greenery does provide as a buffer from sound and dust. But also provides a
habitat for birds. She would like to know what the benefits to cutting down the hedges would
be. She would like to see that the hedges remain taller, other than in the safety areas.
Heuton has always been concerned that fences, walls, and hedges have always been
lumped together. Tornquist wonders why the ordinance doesn’t state anything regarding
hedges hanging over the sidewalk. Struck explained that this is enforced in a different
ordinance. Pierce is empathetic to the vegetation concerns, but the safety concerns are a
bigger issue to her.
Drew asked where the City Staff came up with the 48 inches height. Struck explained that
City staff completed research on other cities to see what they were using. Struck also noted
that some best practice examples noted that the lower height was a benefit to neighbors as
they could see into their neighbors yard and notice if things were out of the ordinary. He also
noted that hedges should not be removed from the ordinance. Hedges can become a bigger
barrier than a fence or wall. Bungard stated that the 48 inch rule in the front yard is a pretty
common height nationwide. Pierce commented that the ordinance, the way it is written, could
be interpreted differently.
Aiken is concerned about the properties that may have a deep, front yard. These hedges
may not be a safety concern on these lots, and these people may have to remove a large
amount of their hedge and it wouldn’t be necessary.
Tornquist asked how tall a fence or hedge could be if it wasn’t in the front yard. Bungard
explained that as long as the fence or hedge is not in the setback area, then it can be at any
height that the property owner would like.

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, Ryan Schiller,
Joshua Westwick, Jolynn Tomhave, and others.
Item #6a - The City of Brookings has submitted ordinance amendments to Section 94-398
pertaining to Landscaping.
(Gregg/Aiken) Motion to remove from the table. All in favor.
(Aiken/Fargen) Motion to approve the amendments.
(Rasmussen/Tornquist) Motion to table. All present voted aye. MOTION CARRIED.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #6b –Bungard explained that these amendments pertain to Fences, Walls and Hedges
in the front yard. Currently there is a 30 inch height maximum in the front yard and the
amendment would increase the height to 48 inches. Additionally, horizontal rail design
language would be removed from this ordinance. So long as these fences, walls, or hedges
do not get into the sight triangle. And fences with a design that would results in 70% or more
opening from the grade to the top would be allowed in the sight triangle. Anything within the
sight triangle would have a height maximum of 30 inches.
Heuton read a letter from Kelly Chromey, a city resident, asking the Planning Commission to
consider increasing the height of hedges to 72 inches. She feels that hedges are
aesthetically pleasing and provide refuge from wind and rain for wildlife. Hedges also play an
important role in minimizing soil loss, regulating water supply and reducing pollution.
Chromey feels that the hedges also prevent pedestrians from encroaching upon people’s
property. And they provide privacy to property owners.
Heuton read a letter from Blake Erickson who is a lifelong resident of Brookings. Erickson
feels that the height of the hedges should be increased to 72 inches. He is a runner and has
always enjoyed the hedges and doesn’t feel that the hedges are a safety concern. Erickson
feels that there are other places in town that have equipment parked along their property
lines and at intersections that obstructs the view for pedestrians. Erickson does agree that
the hedges in the sight triangles should be cut to the 30 inches for safety reasons.
Tornquist read a letter from Jolynn and Thomas Tomhave. The Tomhave’s appreciate that
the commission is considering an increase in the height of hedges, with the exception to the
sight lines. Tomhave’s feel that the hedges provide a much needed barrier from downtown
foot traffic, shade, lush habitat for birds and other species, and beauty to neighborhoods.
Tornquist read letter from Rebecca Kuehl Hybbert who would also like to see the hedge
height be increased to 72 inches. She feels that the higher hedges will help preserve their
properties.
Tornquist also read a letter from Karla Hunter who is in support of the increase to 72 inches
for hedges, as long as street and sidewalk traffic safety is taken in to consideration. 3
reasons that she feels the height should be increased are: 1. Privacy 2. Individuality of
expression and citizen’s rights 3. Greenery is beautiful and provides for biodiversity for
mammals and plentiful greener.
Josh Westwick, 502 9th Ave – He recalls at the end of a previous meeting that City Staff
indicated that if the motion to amend the ordinance amendment, then a discussion could be
held to discuss removing hedges from this ordinance. However, the agenda item tonight
does not reflect any changes from the previous meeting. He is requesting that the
commission again table this item and consider removing the hedges.
Westwick feels that hedges of 72 inches should be allowed on private property for the
following reasons: Hedges provide residential privacy. Hedges reduce noise. Westwick
noted that there is heavy foot traffic by his house during some nights and weekends and the
hedges absorb some of the noise. Hedges provide safety and security. Westwick has a
garden area that is susceptible to vandalism, theft and damage, however he feels that
hedges help keep people on the sidewalk and off of personal property. Hedges provide
charm, character and are aesthetically pleasing. Josh feels that Brookings shouldn’t try to be
like everybody else and change the ordinance to 48 inches, reduction and removal of hedges
will negatively affect the beauty of Brookings. Hedges serve as a natural habitat for birds
butterflies and other species. Hedges have not proven to be a serious safety concern if not
located within the safety zones. Westwick recalled city staff commenting that they haven’t
received complaints regarding hedge heights outside of the safety zones. Westwick feels
that if citizen’s haven’t complained about the hedge height for years, then residents aren’t
concerned if the hedges are 72 inches tall. Reducing the hedge height will impact curb
appeal and decrease property values. This is unfair and is an injustice to him and others with
hedges on their properties.
Westwick found that the American Planners Association stated that if communities are
considering prohibiting or restricting fences, they need to also look at the benefits and
positive values of hedges and fences. Additionally, he has found that there are other cities
that allow for different regulations for fences and hedges. And if the fences and hedges can
be separate in other cities, then they should be able to be separated here also. He would like
the commission to keep the property owners in mind when making a decision on this
ordinance.
Westwick would like to ask that the commission consider an alternative definition to hedge in
the ordinance. Similar details to another city could help define this.
Jolynn Tomhave stated that they have cut down 45 feet of hedge and they wouldn’t want to
cut down anymore. She feels that a 72 inch hedge height should be allowed. She left the
previous Planning Commission meeting thinking that there was new thought and new
movement toward a 72 inch hedge other than in the safety zones.
Pierce feels that Fences, Walls and Hedges being in the same ordinance is a concern. She
isn’t in favor of fences and walls being taller. But a taller hedge does have benefits and they
are aesthetically pleasing. Fargen wondered if they could remain in one ordinance, but break
out the items. Drew feels that a clear definition of “hedge” and “fence” needs to be made.
Heuton doesn’t have an issue with a 72 inch hedge or bush in the front yard. But walls or
fences are a concern to him at 72 inches in height. Aiken also agrees that a 72 inch high
hedge, as long as it doesn’t affect the safety of anyone, isn’t a concern. But a clear definition
of what a hedge is would be beneficial.
Pierce feels that fences and walls could be left at the 30 inch height maximum. Bungard
stated that she has heard concerns from citizen’s that 30 or 36 inches for fences and walls
isn’t high enough and that 48 inches should be allowed. Gregg and Heuton feel that 48
inches is a good height.

Second Reading and Action on Ordinance 17-027, an Ordinance amending Section 42-102 of the
Code of Ordinances of the City of Brookings, SD and pertaining to Transfers to the Brookings Health
System Investment Authority.
Summary:
Brookings Health System (BHS) is requesting a change in the City Investment Policy whereby a
newly-created board comprising of existing BHS board members and the CEO, be authorized to
exclusively invest BHS Funds. Currently, all city funds are aggregated to include City, BMU, and
BHS and invested by the City Finance Director; usually on a competitive placement process. Even
with this process, BHS and BMU have always had access to their funds to meet their cash flow or
expenditure needs.
Background:
State Law places restrictions on the Investment Authority of Public Funds whereby such investment
options are generally more conservative. As a municipal hospital, BHS is currently subject to such
restrictions. This enabling authorization would allow BHS, with City approval, to establish an
Investment Board, specifically a non-profit corporation, to make investments outside these state
restrictions. BHS believes such restrictions impedes their ability to leverage investment opportunities
often associated with non-public hospitals.
Recommendation:
Brookings Health Systems Board recommends approval.

Second Reading and Action on Ordinance 17-028, an Ordinance amending Chapter 2, Article V,
Division 4 pertaining to appointments to the Swiftel Center Advisory Board.
Summary:
Brookings County has approached the City of Brookings and inquired about a change in the
appointment process for membership of the Swiftel Center Advisory Board. The current appointment
process provides for two appointees by the County Board because of the County-owned County
Resource Center (CRC) being attached to the Swiftel Center and an Intergovernmental Operating
Agreement. Now that the City has acquired ownership of the CRC, the County Board does not
believe this appointment process is still necessary. As such, attached is an Ordinance modifying the
appointment process to delete the appointments made by the County and have them made by the
City.
One such appointment expires the end of 2017 and the second expires the end of 2018. It is
recommended to have the City appoint the expiring 2017 member and let the expiring 2018 member
continue to serve out the current term since that appointment pre-dates this amendment.
Fiscal Impact:
None
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.

Second Reading and Action on Ordinance 17-029, an Ordinance amending Chapter 22 of the Code
of Ordinances of the City of Brookings and providing Procedures for the Licensing of Residential
Contractors in the City of Brookings, SD.
Summary:
The City Engineering Department is initiating a Residential Contractor’s License requirement for
contractors who perform residential construction in the Brookings City Limits and the Joint-
Jurisdictional area. The attached Ordinance 17-029 amends Chapter 22 and describes the specific
requirements of the program, which would go into effect in January 2018 if adopted.
Background:
Representatives of the Brookings Regional Builders Association approached City Engineering staff to
discuss their support of a possible residential contractor license program. City staff researched the
larger municipalities in South Dakota and found many of them had a contractors licensing program in
place (see attached chart).
City staff is in support of the residential contractor’s license, which will have a positive impact on the
City’s ISO rating (Insurance Service Office) for insurance rates, it will ensure that all contractors
working in the City and Joint Jurisdictional Area will have liability insurance and workers
compensation insurance, and will create a line of communication between the City and local
contractors.
Staff and the City Attorney drafted a draft ordinance for contractor’s to review. The residential
contractors who have had permits with the City of Brookings were invited to a contractor’s round
table meeting which was held on Thursday, November 16, 2017, and a draft ordinance was included
with the mailing. There was a good discussion about the program with City staff and 14 local
residential contracting firms in attendance.
Staff incorporated modifications and clarifications into the ordinance based on the comments from
the contractors. The Residential Contractor’s License is summarized as follows:
A Residential Contractor’s License is required for any residential builder contracting work performed
in the City’s jurisdiction that also requires a building permit. This work includes, but is not limited to,
concrete work, masonry, carpentry, all building trade contracting including roofing, remodeling, siding,
rough framing; all phases of new construction, alteration, additions; and repair or demolition of
structures. Contractors who perform work that does not require a building permit would not need a
residential contractor’s license, such as sheet rock, painting, flooring, etc.
The following are exempt from the licensing requirements:
a.Employees of a person licensed in accordance with this chapter when they are under
City of Brookings Printed on 12/7/2017Page 1 of 2

File #:ORD 17-029,Version:2
the direction and control of a person or company who holds a residential Contractor’s
license issued by the City.
b.Persons engaged in the following construction trades: mechanical, plumbing, and
electrical, when that person is performing work consistent with that building trade and
applicable City or State license.
c.A dwelling owner for work to be done on their property which he or she occupies as his
or her own home, or will occupy as his or her own home, and when the property owner
is acting as his or her own contractor. A dwelling owner may not build more than one (1)
single family dwelling in a three (3) year period without obtaining a contractor’s license,
unless they occupy the dwelling, a minimum of one (1) year after the final inspection is
approved.
d.A landlord for work to be done on his or her property when the landlord is acting as his
or her own contractor.
e.A residential developer for work to be done on their property when the residential
developer has hired licensed contractors to complete all permitted work.
Contractors will be required to supply Liability Insurance for a minimum amount of five hundred
thousand dollars ($500,000) for each occurrence, worker’s compensation insurance on their
employees if applicable, and proof of their South Dakota excise tax number.
Staff is also proposing to provide a reference manual, titled: “DeWalt Residential Construction Codes”
to all residential contractors applying for the license. The manual is a helpful guide for residential
construction code requirements and provides an educational component for the program, and will be
provided in the year that code changes are adopted. Staff will also perform educational meetings for
the contractors, but the ordinance does not make the educational meetings mandatory.
The attached Ordinance describes the specifics about the licensing program.
Fiscal Impact:
The Engineering Department will receive revenue from the license fees, which will offset education,
reference materials, mailings, and staff time.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.

Public Hearing and Action on Resolution 17-112, a Resolution Levying Assessment for 2017
Assessment of the 2014-02STA, Main Avenue South and 26th Street South Reassessment.
Summary:
This Resolution will authorize 2014-02STA Assessment costs for Prairie Hills LLC, Brookings School
District, City of Brookings, Christie Family Trust, and Taylor properties to be reassessed.
Background:
The Brookings City Council adopted Resolution of Necessity 05-14 on January 14, 2014 for the 2014
-02STA Main Avenue South and 26th Street South Assessment Project, and adopted Resolution 15-
096, Levying Assessment on September 22, 2015. The resolutions along with a Memorandum of
Understanding between Oakwood Equity LLC outlined the payment criteria for the assessment. The
City did not receive the second payment according to the payment criteria and proceeded to assess
the outstanding balance to the remaining lots in Christie Springs Addition and Christie Heights
Addition with the adoption of Resolution 17-034, a Resolution Levying Assessment for 2017
Assessment of the 2014-02STA, Main Avenue South and 26th Street South Reassessment on March
28, 2017. A local development team approached the City of Brookings with the intent to acquire the
Christie Springs Addition and Christie Heights Addition and requested a financial restructuring of the
assessment for these two additions. The Brookings City Council adopted Resolution 17-067, a
Resolution Levying Assessment for 2017 Assessment of the 2014-02STA, Main Avenue South and
26th Street South Reassessment on July 11, 2017.
The financial restructuring entailed levying $150,000 of the Christie Heights Addition assessment to
Parcel 120001095002330 on the south side of 26th Street South, receiving $50,000 cash at the time
of closing, and waiving $245,515.76 of which $10,371.27 was interest the City calculated on the
period of time in which the second payment was not received according to the Memorandum of
Understanding.
Upon passage of Resolution 17-067, staff began the process of reviewing other properties subject to
the assessment in an equitable effort. Staff calculated the equitable adjustment at 45.001% of the
original assessment.
Approval of Resolution 17-115 will provide a 45.001% reduction to all properties subject to the
assessment. The final outstanding balance for each property has been adjusted to reflect any
payments already received.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of this Resolution will include shifting $605,014.58 from assessments to TIF #7.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.

Action on Resolution 17-113, a Resolution Amending the Fee Schedule of the City of Brookings,
South Dakota (Residential Contractor’s License).
Summary:
This Resolution will amend the Fee Schedule to include the annual fee for the Residential
Contractor’s License to accompany Ordinance 17-029 if adopted.
Background:
The City Engineering Department is initiating a Residential Contractor’s License Ordinance for
contractors who perform residential construction in the Brookings City Limits and the Joint-
Jurisdictional area. The proposed Ordinance 17-029 amends Chapter 22 and describes the specific
requirements of the program, which would go into effect in January 2018 if adopted.
Staff reviewed several South Dakota municipalities of similar population that had a residential
contractor’s license program and their fees are as follows:
Aberdeen:$150 initial fee with $100 renewal fee every 3 years
Brandon:$100/year fee for license and $75 testing fee
Pierre:$125/year fee
Spearfish:$75/year fee
Watertown:$60/year fee
The City of Brookings is proposing a fee of $75.00 for the program. The fee is anticipated to cover
staff time to implement the program, hold educational sessions and to purchase reference manuals,
titled: “DeWalt Residential Construction Codes” (approximately 20 dollars) to provide to all residential
contractors applying for the license.
Fiscal Impact:
The license fee will be collected as revenue in the Engineering Department to be used to offset the
above costs.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.
