Action on Resolution 16-043, a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign Amendment Number
2 to an Agreement for Professional Services for Brookings Regional Airport Project No. AIP #3-46-
0005-025-2012, Runway 11/29 Realignment Project.
Summary:
This resolution will authorize the City Manager to sign Amendment Number 2 to an Agreement for
Professional Services for Brookings Regional Airport Project No. AIP #3-46-0005-025-2012, Runway
11/29 Realignment Project.
Background:
The Phase IA of the Brookings Regional Airport Runway 11/29 Realignment project included grading
and site work, removal and salvaging of existing FAA facilities, partial milling of Runway 12/30 and
taxiways, and installation of subbase course and underdrain piping. The project was bid as
additional work under AIP Grant #3-46-0005-025-2012, which was funded by 90% federal funds, 8%
state funds, and 2% City funds. The consultants for the project, Helms and Associates, had
completed the design and construction administration of Phase IA under the original engineering
contract for Phase I. They have submitted Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement for Professional
Services now that the project has been completed and actual engineering costs are determined. The
amendment is for an increase of $11,347.35 for Construction Administration and $23,710.43 for
Resident Engineering, Inspection and Staking for a total increase of $35,057.78.
The amendment is grant eligible, however, it is not known at this time if the Federal Aviation
Administration will award additional grant funds. It is anticipated that this will be 100% City cost as
part of the City’s financial responsibility for the project.
Fiscal Impact:
The amendment is for an increase of $35,057.78 to the Agreement for Professional Services for this
project.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.

Action on a Contract Award for the replacement of seating at the Swiftel Center.
Summary:
The Swiftel Center CIP provides for the replacement of arena seating financed by an Interfund Loan
from the Solid Waste fund which was previously approved by the Council. This action would
purchase the product from Hussey Seating Company through the National Joint Purchasing
Association (NJPA), which the City of Brookings is a member. As a service to members, NJPA
utilizes joint, cooperative purchasing to pre-qualify products and services to meet applicable state
uniform purchasing requirements.
Background:
The retractable and fixed seating on both sides of the arena floor at the Swiftel Center were
purchased by the City when the facility was built in 1999.They were used from the McNichols Arena
prior to its demolition and are estimated to be approximately 40 years old. The City also purchased
additional retractable bleacher seating of wood construction that was surplused from the Brookings
School District as additional seating on the south mezzanine.None of the seating meets current ADA
standards and all three sets of retractable seating are worn out, have been repaired and welded
many times, and are rapidly losing their functionality.Most importantly, they pose a safety liability and
are potentially dangerous.
The Interfund Loan was for $1 .1 million at 1.5 percent interest and a term of nine (9) years.
Repayments would be made from the Public Improvement Fund's allocation to the Swiftel Center CIP
which is limited to $300,000 annually. The annual re-payment would be $131,571 leaving $168,000
cash for other CIP items.The vendor quote for the retractable seating is $969,411.The vendor is
offering an alternate of $297,951 for replacement of all fixed seating. These include installation and
applicable taxes; for a total of $1,267,362. There will also be some limited amount of electrical
modifications.
Fiscal Impact:
Financing would be via the interfund loan from the Solid Waste Fund with repayment from Swiftel
Center’s annual CIP allocation of Public Improvement funds. We may be able to realize some
revenue from by surplus sale of some of existing seating. In addition, we would like to donate some
surplus seating to HFH Re-Store.
Recommendation:
Since the original estimate was $1.3 million, staff is recommending we take advantage of special
pricing on the fixed seating and accept the alternate and do all seating for a price of $1,267,362
utilizing the interfund loan previously approved, and the first year CIP allocation to finance the
project. All seating will then be completed and ADA compliant.

Action on Resolution 16-041, a Resolution authorizing the transfer of real property to Brookings
Economic Development Corporation, Inc. for Economic Development Purposes.
Summary:
The Brookings Economic Development Corporation, Inc. is requesting the City transfer up to 16.5
acres of property in the Svennes Industrial Park for purposes of furthering economic development
opportunities.
Background:
The Brookings Economic Development Corporation, Inc. is working with a local business on a
retention and expansion project. The business is requesting to purchase up to 16.5 acres of
industrial land in the Svennes Industrial Park. The actual land acquisition may be less dependent
upon the completion of a drainage plan, which is currently underway with a local engineering firm.
The land involved in the transaction is proposed to be final platted at the May 3, 2016 Planning
Commission meeting and the unapproved plat is included in the packet for review. The plat
references Lots 1 & 2, Block 11 of Freeland Addition. Lot 1 is approximately 13 acres and is the
preferred acreage, however, due to topography of the site, it is anticipated the drainage
improvements will need to be constructed along the southwest portion of the lot. Pending the results
of the drainage study, Lot 2 may be necessary to accommodate the proposed and future footprint of
the building and associated truck loading areas.
Fiscal Impact:
The City's investment in the property is $28,859.69 per acre. The BEDC is proposing to purchase
the property at $32,812.50 per acre. The City would generate revenue of $3,952.81 per acre with
this land transaction.

Public Hearing and Action on Ordinance 16-010, an Ordinance Revising Article IV of Chapter 72 of
the Code of Ordinances of the City of Brookings and Pertaining to Site Runoff Erosion and Sediment
Control in the City of Brookings, South Dakota.
Summary:
This ordinance pertains to the control of erosion and sediment control from construction site runoff.
Background:
The South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources conducted a compliance
inspection of the City of Brookings Small MS4 Storm Water Management Program which is related to
water quality. SDDENR commented that the City needed requirements for construction site
operators to control waste materials on construction sites. The Engineering Department staff
reviewed the current ordinances and found that the language pertaining to construction site waste
needed to be more specific. This ordinance will amend Division 1, Grading and Construction
Activities, of Article IV, Site Runoff Erosion and Sediment Control, of Chapter 72, Storm Drainage, to
add the underlined sentence to the ordinance as follows:
Sec. 72-68. - Discharge of pollutants from a land disturbance activity with or without a permit.
The landowner or landowner’s contractor, developer or representative is responsible to control waste
such as discarded building materials, concrete washout, chemicals, litter, sediment, and any other
waste that may cause adverse impacts on water quality. Any detectible discharge of pollutants from
a construction or land disturbance activity into the MS4 and/or onto neighboring properties will be
considered an illicit discharge subject to the penalties and remediation provided in this chapter,
regardless of whether a grading permit has been issued and regardless of the size and scope of the
activity.
Fiscal Impact:
None
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.

Action on a Preliminary Plat of Sublots 1-6 of Lot 2, Block 1, Foster Addition.
Proposal: Subdivide a large lot for small business expansion
Background: The Foster Addition was originally platted into two large blocks in 2011. Block 1 was
west of 32nd Avenue and Block 2, to the east, became the home of Bel Brands. Block 1 was further
subdivided into Lots 1-4 by 2014. Lot 1 is now occupied by GHP Systems and Lots 2 & 3 have
development proposals pending. As you recall, both Lots 2 & 3 were recently rezoned to the
Industrial I-1 District.
Specifics: Lot 2 has been redesigned to create 6 industrial lots that will have access to a new cul-de-
sac intersecting with 32nd Avenue. The lots range in size from 32,000 to 51,000 square feet. The
street will have a wider right-of-way width and larger cul-de-sac bulb to accommodate truck traffic.
There is an existing 35’ wide drainage easement (from the original Lot 2) along the north lot line that
will be retained with any future final platting.
City Engineer’s Comments: There are no additional drainage requirements for this plat.
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission voted 8 yes and 0 no to recommend approval of the preliminary plat.

Discussion and possible action on Armory Building Adaptive Reuse Proposals and direct staff to
negotiate terms and conditions leading to a development agreement.
Summary:
3/22/2016 City Council Minutes: “A motion was made by Council member Niemeyer, seconded by
Council Member Thorpe, that action on the Armory Building Adaptive Reuse Proposals be tabled to
April 26 to allow public review and receive feedback on the two proposals. The motion carried by the
following vote: Yes: 6 - Corbett, Niemeyer, Thorpe, Hansen, Bacon, and Meyer; Absent: 1 - Reed.”
Background:
A downtown planning committee drafted the Request for Statements of Interest for an Adaptive
Reuse of the Armory Building. The goal of the planning committee is to adapt the Armory Building
into a better utilized and functional amenity for the community by repurposing the space.
Two proposals were received and subsequent interviews were conducted with representatives of the
following development teams:
1. Gatzke Family Enterprises, Clark Drew Construction, and JLG Architects
2. David Kneip, designArc LLC, and Hitch Studio
A brief summary of each proposal is provided below as well as excerpts from their respective
submittals in the attachment section.
Gatzke Family Enterprises, Clark Drew Construction and JLG Architects:
Propose a two phase project whereby the 1st phase consists of a modern residential multi-
family development on the west side of the Armory with two stories of housing above the
existing public parking lot and possibly the addition of an underground parking lot. It is
projected to accommodate 30 residential units in this phase. The second phase of the project
consist of renovating the Armory building. The Armory would be repurposed into a mixed use
development comprised of community space, commercial space, office space, and housing.
The lower level could accommodate 4 residential units with the remaining space being offered
for commercial, office, storage, or community space. The main level of the Armory could be
repurposed for 12 residential units with office suites available on the east end of the building
and community space where the existing stage resides. The development team is proposing
to utilize the ceiling height to add another floor of residential units and utilize the maintain the
existing office and meeting room for similar purposes. The addition of an elevator on the west
end of the building will make the building accessible and link the public/private parking to the
building. Twenty-eight residential units are projected to be added with phase 2. The two
phases combined would added 58 residential units downtown.

File #:ID 2016-218,Version:2
This proposal emphasizes improving the quality of housing and the number of peopled living
downtown to help shift downtown from a destination location to a part of daily life. The
development team is proposing 77 parking space between at grade and underground, with 38
of those spaces remaining public.
The structure of ownership proposed is a for-profit, private corporation. Ownership will be
responsible for financing renovations.
Kneip, designArc LLC, and Hitch Studio:
Propose a three phase project whereby the first phase entails refurbishing the main level of
the Armory into a convention/meeting venue available for community use. New bathrooms
would be added on the main level as well as repurposing existing offices into a small meeting
room. An elevator would provide accessibility throughout the building and a delivery/catering
access area would be accommodated on the west end of the building. Phase one would
include mechanical, electrical, furnishings and fixtures consistent with providing a modernized,
quality assembly area. A new front entrance vestibule would be designed to provide additional
pre-function space. Phase two would include renovations to the existing upper and lower
levels to provide suitable square footage for potential tenants to build out to fit their needs.
Phase three consists of adding an outdoor terrace and landscaping on the south side of the
Armory. This area is envisioned as a gathering space supporting the interior space. The
proposal acknowledges the public parking lot to the west should remain as public parking
indefinitely.
This proposal emphasizes maintaining the Armory Building as a public use facility whereby the
primary use will be weekend events with the potential to expand to weekdays based upon
need. The Development Team is proposing a non-profit ownership structure and would
support renovation costs via donations, grants, loans, and tax credits. User fees and rental
rates would apply to make the facility self-sustaining.
Both development teams have the experience, expertise, and resources available to accomplish the
vision stated in their respective proposals.
The intent of the City is to transfer ownership of the building to a development team through mutually
agreeable terms and conditions.
Staff is seeking guidance on which proposal to proceed forward with negotiating terms and conditions
leading to a development agreement between the City and Development Team.

Video Outline
Attn: Shari Thornes
Date: April 19th, 2016
Re: City council agenda item; Armory Adaptive Re-use
Dear Council Members,
We have put together a video for you and the Brookings Community about the potential of the armory as a place
for a variety of business and community events which can enrich the quality of life that Brookings has to offer.
In an effort to speak about this potential, we gathered a small group of individuals who are enthusiastic
about the armory and of whom desired to have the opportunity to share their vision.
To provide insight into the content of the video, some of the businesses and organizations represented
within the video will be as follows:
Farmer’s Market
Ellie Elayne Arts
Brookings Community Theatre
Yoga Instruction
Midwest Maidens
South Dakota Small Business Association
Downtown Brookings Community Events
Hitch Event Planning
The video will be approximately three minutes in length and will be uploaded into the Council Agenda
for the April 26th City Council Meeting.
We will also be presenting revisions to our proposal per requested by the City Council. We look
forward to further discussion on the 26th.
Respectfully Submitted,
Les Rowland

Brookings is also the location of South Dakota State University. SDSU is the state’s largest higher
education institution. SDSU attracts students from all 66 counties in South Dakota, all 50 states and 70
countries. This diverse mix of students bring a great mix of cultures to the area.
A great example of an adaptive reuse success story would be the Children’s Museum of South Dakota.
Located near downtown, the Children’s Museum was formerly the middle school within the Brookings
School District. The museum includes multiple interactive spaces, a café and a robotic T-Rex.

Request for Statements of Interest
To: Interested Development Teams
Subject: Adaptive reuse of the former Armory building
Intent
The City of Brookings invites qualified development teams to submit proposals for the adaptive re-use of
the former Armory building located on the corner of Main Avenue and Front Street. Development
teams need to consist of an Investor and Architect. Other professionals that may be included, but not
required within the team, are Contractors knowledgeable with renovation of historical structures,
Landscape Architects, Interior Designers and Urban Planners.
Through the adaptive reuse of the Armory, the City seeks to:
- Activate a currently underutilized site for public and private re-use,
- Complement and enhance the surrounding downtown district, and
- Preserve and enhance the historic structure that is appropriate for an adaptive re-use
development.
The Armory has historical importance as a shared community space for a variety of activities. The
inclusion of a public/community space within the Project Parameters section of this document is meant
to maintain some of this history. This space can be envisioned in multiple ways with multiple functions
bringing people together in a shared space. Inevitably this space would have private benefits bringing
the public in proximity with the private components of the building.
It is the further intent of the city of Brookings to transfer ownership of the building to the development
team through mutually agreeable terms and conditions.
History and Vision of Armory and Downtown
The Brookings Auditorium/Armory opened its doors to the public in February of 1938. This project was
funded through public, private and government dollars. Armories built throughout the United States
originally served as a space where local militia could train, gather, and store equipment. Completed
during the spring of 1937, the Brookings Armory housed Company B, 109th Engineers and the Motor
Transport. The Armory was in use as a military training center from 1938 to 1976 until a new Armory
was built. Since 1937, the building also provided space for community activities such as dances,
basketball, theater and musical performances. Shortly after the relocation of the military training
center, the City of Brookings adapted the building for the Park and Recreation Department offices and
associated recreation activities. The building continued to function in this manner until 2012 when the
Park and Recreation office moved to the new City Government Center. The City still maintains
ownership of the building; however, due to accessibility constraints and lack of spectator seating, the
building no longer functions as a viable recreation space. The present challenges of the building have
made it necessary for the City to consider an alternative use for the building.
3
The Armory has tremendous potential to be rehabilitated as a multi-use commercial, retail, residential
and community space. The Armory is an important amenity that can support a vision for how civic and
public spaces can connect a community through events, daily activities and shared spaces. There is also
a similarity between the role this armory has played in Brookings’ history and the present need within
the downtown for open space to support community activity. This relationship is what gives rise to the
potential that this building offers for connecting people as well as its role within an overall vision for
economic development within the Brookings’ downtown area and the transit arteries connecting it.
Context
Because of its location at the hinge-point of Main Avenue and the railroad, the Armory offers potential
in shaping the vision of the future of Downtown Brookings. An official Downtown Brookings Master Plan
does not exist, but the rehabilitation of the Armory has the potential to instigate future development
and planning based on its latent potential as a space and its strategic location. The armory has a unique
position compared to other downtown buildings based on its relationships to the North to South and
West to East transportation arteries. It is the southern anchor of the downtown historic district and one
of the first buildings encountered upon crossing the railroad tracks from the South. Its unique position
engenders creative possibilities for the building’s reuse, but also for Downtown Brookings’ relationship
to the broader context of the city. The site of the Armory is defined by the building's relationship to its
context across four different zones: 1. Building, 2. Block, 3. Area, 4. Zone. The Armory is located at the
intersection of these four scales, and is uniquely positioned at the hinge point between the downtown
historic district to the north and the future re-development areas to the south.
4
1. Building:
At the building scale, the Armory consists of a lower level,
main level and partial upper level. The main level consists
of an entry atrium, two small office spaces and gym space
with stage. The gym is a double-volume space with
twenty foot ceilings. The gym area is approx. 7,450 sf with
wood flooring. The lower level consists of rooms and
office space ranging from 90 sf to 2275 sf. There are also
non-compliant restroom facilities within the lower level.
The upper level is located directly above the entry/atrium
space. It consists of meeting rooms ranging from 275 to
625 sf. There are currently no restroom facilities located
on the main or upper level.
Building area summary:
• Existing lower level area: +/- 10,380 sf
• Existing main level area: +/- 10,820 sf
• Existing upper level area: +/- 1,765 sf
The building envelope of the Armory consists of masonry construction with an exterior stucco finish.
The existing mechanical, electrical and plumbing services will require updating.
Consideration should be given to the structural, programmatic, and spatial conditions that frame the
adaptive re-use of the armory.
(See Appendix A for plans of the existing building and site.)
2. Block:
At the block scale, the site that surrounds the Armory is bordered by Main Avenue to the east, 3rd street
to the north, and Front Street to the south and west. The block also consists of a public parking lot on
the west side of the property that holds approximately 20+ parking spaces. The City of Brookings
intends to maintain ownership and maintenance of the parking lot however other alternative options
will be considered should it be necessary for the realization of the proposed design solution. ADA
accessibility to and from the building will need to be addressed, as the main floor is approximately four
feet above the adjacent exterior sidewalk. Meeting accessibility requirements may result in the
construction of code compliant ramps and/or elevators depending upon plan proposed.
Consideration should be given to the edges of the block context and how it can begin to define exterior
program through permanent or temporary events.
3. Area:
At the area scale, an industrial area borders the south edge and Downtown Brookings borders the east
and north edges of the Armory block. Adjacent buildings and amenities include: retail, restaurants,
office buildings, drinking establishments, automotive services, grain silos, and the railroad.
5
The Armory is currently within the B-1 Central Business District. The foundation of this district is to
provide a strong supportive retail center. This district places high priority on retail trade, office,
personal service, institutional and entertainment center uses.
To the south, the Armory block lies adjacent to the I-2 Heavy Industrial zone.
Consideration should be given to how the Armory lies next to this industrial area and surrounding roads
as it begins to define the railroad crossing at Main Avenue.
(See Appendix B for full explanation of Business B-1 Central District.)
Historical Context:
The Armory is located within the Brookings Commercial Historical District and is listed on the National
Historic Register of Historic Places. It is desired that the proposed design solution (if economically and
technically feasible) would enable the building to maintain its current historical status in accordance
with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. The reuse of this building could meet
the definition of “Rehabilitation” and may qualify for Federal tax credit and state property tax
incentives, if all program eligibility criteria are met. Rehabilitation within the Standards is defined as
“the process of returning a property to a state of utility through repair or alteration, which makes
possible an efficient contemporary use while preserving those portions and features of the property
which are significant to the historic, architectural and cultural values.”
6
The National Park Service (NPS), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the South Dakota State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO) jointly administer the 20% rehabilitation tax credit program for the
rehabilitation of historic buildings in South Dakota. The program offers a 20% tax credit on the qualified
expenditures of a substantial rehabilitation of a certified historic structure. The tax credit applies to the
building owner’s federal income tax for the year in which the project is completed and approved.
http://history.sd.gov/Preservation/FundingOpps/FedTaxCreditSummary.pdf.
To be certified for Federal tax purposes, the building must be a “certified historic structure.” The
rehabilitation must meet the Standards for Rehabilitation as determined by the National Park Service,
and the rehabilitation must be “substantial.” The project must be income-producing (i.e. owner-
occupied residences will not qualify). The National Park Service and Internal Revenue Service have
written guidance available online to property owners who want more information about the program
and the eligibility criteria. A project must meet all program eligibility criteria in order to use the federal
tax credit program. The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and NPS will evaluate the project for
compliance with the Standards for Rehabilitation.
In addition to the federal 20% tax credit program, the South Dakota Legislature has provided for certain
property tax benefits for the rehabilitation of historic structures. If a historic building qualifies for the
tax benefit, an eight-year moratorium is placed on the property tax assessment of certified
improvements. Property tax assessments may not be increased due to certified rehabilitation of the
building for the eight-year period. As with the federal 20% tax credit program, the State Property Tax
Moratorium program includes a number of eligibility criteria; the property owner must consult with the
7
SHPO before undertaking any work to ensure that the project will meet all of the criteria.
http://history.sd.gov/Preservation/FundingOpps/SPTMOverview2015.pdf.
The proposer will work with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to submit the application to
the National Park Service. The SHPO office is available as a resource to provide guidance and
interpretation of the Secretary of Interior’s Rehabilitation Standards during the design development and
application process. All proposers are strongly advised to consult with SHPO early in the process and
prior to undertaking any work on the building. It can be costly and difficult, and is sometimes
impossible, to correct work that does not meet the Standards for Rehabilitation.

The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation to be used as a guide for this project are as
follows:
1) A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change
to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships.
2) The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive
materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property
will be avoided.
3) Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that
create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements
from other historic properties, will not be undertaken.
4) Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained
and preserved.
5) Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved.
6) Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in
design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be
substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
7) Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means
possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used.
8) Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be
disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.
9) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic
materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will
be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size,
scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment.
8
10) New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner
that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its
environment would be unimpaired.

Local Historic Review: This project will also be subject to a local “11.1 review” by the Brookings Historic
Preservation Commission, pursuant to SDCL 1-19A-11.1.
Accessibility: The City of Brookings requires all city-owned and/or city funded new, remodeled, and
retrofitted facilities comply with the requirements of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act
guidelines and all city ADA related policies, which includes the City ADA Compliance Officer and
Brookings Committee for People who have Disabilities will review and approve the project scope, final
plans, and bid package of all new construction, remodels, and retrofits of City owned and/or funded
facilities. The scope and budget development of capital improvement projects will include the
identification of ADA needs related to these projects to ensure compliance and accessibility standards.
Project Parameters and Preferred Uses
The scope of work will be to repurpose the existing Armory building located in downtown Brookings into
a mixed-use facility. Currently, the City of Brookings has not committed to any single reuse concept and
welcomes creative development teams to provide a vision on how the Armory can enhance the
downtown district. The City of Brookings has been working with a downtown planning committee to
identify fundamental relationships of the downtown that are vital to the stimulation and support of
economic growth. The Armory has been identified as having the potential of providing needed stimulus
to support growth. Items to be considered, but not limited to, as part of the redevelopment of the
building: retail, consumer services, community market place, non-profit space, community artisan
space, entrepreneurial space, start-up space, collaboration space and residential dwellings. Teams are
encouraged to think ‘inside the box’ and consider how to capture and enhance the vertical volume of
space within the building. Because the Armory is located within a walking zone, transparency between
outdoor space and indoor space needs to be considered. Thinking ‘outside the box’ and creating
useable outdoor space is also encouraged.
To ensure a mixed-use development solution that is complimentary to the economics of downtown, the
following shall be used as a suggestion for the amount of potential uses to be provided:
• Development of residential dwellings: max of 30% of overall existing floor area
• Development of retail space: minimum of 30% of overall existing floor area
• Development of entrepreneurial/start-up and/or community space: minimum of 10% of overall
existing floor area
In support of the above suggested alternative mixed uses; the community has had the opportunity to
provide their feedback through electronic survey. The survey was open to the Brookings public for one
week. The results of this survey can be found within the appendix. Overall, the survey indicates that
99% of people who completed the survey believe community space is valuable, 97% believe that
community space located downtown is important, and 88% think the Armory’s location can be easily
9
accessed by vehicle or foot. For further elaboration, people were asked to comment on the types of
activities they would like to see in the Armory. The full extent of comments can also be found within the
appendix. The top activities that responsibilities would like to see included is an indoor market, such as,
Bountiful Basket or other food-based sellers and/or event spaces for all ages: children, teens and adults.
(See Appendix C for community survey results)
(See Appendix D for photos of the existing building)
Open House
The City of Brookings will host a work-through upon request for all interested development teams.
Although the walk-through is not required for consideration, the City strongly encourages all interested
teams to see the facility.

1. Do you think community spaces are valuable?
If no, why? If yes, what do you value in community spaces? What draws you to community spaces
here in Brookings or elsewhere?
Result: Yes – 99
No - 1
Responses:
A space for youth activity or retail space that is not pizza, or a bar, or a second hand store. We need
things in this town for teens to do that is not the boys and girls club.
Bountiful baskets.... so we can continue to get fresh produce to start/stay healthy
Community spaces are a great benefit to the community by allowing groups to use a space that might
not otherwise be available.
I value the sense of warmth and the welcoming spirit behind community spaces; they can help to make
people (especially those new to the community) feel that they belong and are a part of something, help
them to form meaningful relationships, connections, etc.
For events, get togethers. I've had something to do with the armory since I was small...from home
school gym time, acting classes and gymnastics, to now 3 times a week we use it for roller derby. It’s
very important to us.
Fun, attractiveness, inviting
Free community spaces are essential to a vibrant downtown. Right now, I go downtown to get a drink,
food, shopping, etc. If there was a free community space downtown, I could go here without having to
have an excuse to buy something.
Clean, safe, affordable.
The ability to see friends, colleagues and to make new connections.
interesting design, comfortable, proximity to other amenities, easy access for meeting up with friends &
colleagues, lots of places to charge devices and utilize wi-fi, combination of large and small tables for
group meetings of different sizes, variety of seating options, opportunities to seek out more private
corners for reading or studies, at times - live music...
I value space where there is something that all ages can enjoy.
They are places for gatherings, for music and art. They can provide a space for a festival or rummage
sale. It gets the people together in ways they wouldn't if they were just in a store or restaurant.
Spaces for large groups to gather regardless of weather. I belong to a team that needs a flat, clean place
to practice their sport.
Appendix C
It's in a great location, easy to access and it's important to get people together for fun activities that unit
a community.
In a community space I would want to see cleanliness, a bathroom, places to sit (comfy would be great),
an area for nursing moms, good use of the space, bright area with shade but access to the sun, access to
water, meetings, I think these things would draw in people and help grow our community.
Midwest Maidens Roller Derby uses the space for practices 3 times a week year round, as well as for
organization meetings and a community scrimmage.
A place for kids and adults to hang out and just have fun
Family friendly, useful year round, clean environment
A place to get active and involved, up to date, stuff for all ages, or a nice attractive place to hold events
I know parks are available for use but I've never known it was possible to use the armory as well as other
buildings in Brookings.
2. Do you think community space is important to downtown?
If no, why? If yes, what types of community space does downtown need (i.e. market, event space,
theater, etc.)?
Result: Yes – 97
No – 3
Responses:
Farmers markets are greatly needed. Bountiful baskets is looking for a location for food distribution, the
armory would be a good space for the food coop.
As downtown is being developed it would be great to have "play" space or larger public gathering spaces
as an "anchor" of sorts to downtown activities. Bountiful Baskets is in needed of a staging area. This will
bring a flow of individuals as well as fresh produce to downtown Brookings year round.
Groups are looking for space to meet, all the time.
I think an event space would be beneficial.
Perhaps a space centered around food + craft.....a space for 'creatives' :)
It's perfect location for what it is.
Space that offers activity.
Appendix C
Brookings doesn't have many outside spaces downtown that aren't attached to a business i.e. free. It
would be wonderful if we had a market or a shared event space that could house different attractions
(yoga classes, drawing classes, bands, etc.)
I think an affordable arcade and hangout would be good for middle aged kids/teens.
Grocery store, in particular. Yoga spot. Dog exercise area.
It would be wonderful to have a mini indoor market with fresh produce all year round. The more I travel
to other cities (mostly in Europe) the more I love to see these markets. They are truly wonderful.
Live music venues/opportunities would be super helpful...
In an area of the country where the weather is often not conducive to being outdoors, I think an indoor
recreation area would benefit the entire community. Edinborough Park in Edina Minnesota is an
excellent example of a great indoor gathering space. There are indoor gardens with walking paths, a
playground area for young kids, basketball courts, a swimming pool, an indoor track, and a cafe/coffee
shop. I love the idea of a pool with slides and activities for younger children, as well as a deeper
swimming pool area for older children and adults to encourage fitness in the community.
Theater performance space for music and plays. Outdoor seating for dining. Meeting areas for
community organizations or small groups.
Market, space for Bountiful Basket, event space
Event space/more welcoming farmer's market space
Would love to see a farmer's market that could be accessed all year long.
A multipurpose space would be amazing, where vendors could come in on one day for farmers markets
and there could be a safety event one and a children's community play the next!
Market.
Although this might not be the best fit for the armory building, I would love to see a mini golf course
open in Brookings. It would be a great addition for family fun.
It is a central area where everyone is able to get to. Parking is the only problem with this though.
I would like to see something for the young teens. When my kids were young they had the skating rink,
where they could see their friends, have fun, and you knew they were safe. There is not much for this
age group to do and I think it will help keep them out of trouble and encourage positive fun.
Indoor playground -play space
Appendix C
Event space, a market would be neat, or a newer and more active activity space where events are held
for all ages
indoor farmers market during cold months. Alternative space for the community to use.
A nice whole foods/farmers market centralized downtown main st. would draw in more people. Also, an
outdoor event space would be amazing!
3. Do you think the Armory's location can be easily accessed by vehicle or foot
for community space?
If no, how can accessibility be improved?
Result: Yes – 88
No – 12
Responses:
The way they redid the road, leaves, a lot to be desired.
Extra bike racks are always a good idea.
More places to park. It is already hard enough to find a spot downtown business/restaurant area most
times without many people wanting to go into that building. If it was a community center we would be
even more overcrowded.
More parking spaces might be nice
could be improved with safer bicycle access to GET to it, though
First, the parking downtown is problematically limited. Secondly, I have massive reservations about the
safety of south Main St., particularly as it relates to children and biking. I would love to see the bike path
expanded to make the entire downtown, including the library and children's museum, SAFELY accessible
to bike and foot traffic from the rapidly-growing southwest side of town.
More parking spaces. If large events are held there, there is not enough spaces for the people to park.
There are not many parking options
Parking is tuff at that spot
more parking options
I believe parking will be an issue of a large number of people will access the space.
