5:00 P.M. WORK SESSION
Work Sessions are open to the public. During the work session the city staff would brief the council on
items for that particular meeting, introduce future topics, and provide a time for Council members to
introduce topics.
1. Gateway Project Update.
The Gateway Project was first presented as a concept to the City Council during
the April 5, 2011 City Council meeting. Staff has continued to work with
Confluence on developing the concept. Confluence has been working on final
sign designs and survey elevations for the interstate monument signs. City staff
met with officials from DOT and reviewed a preliminary layout for the 6th Street
and 22nd Avenue intersection in regards to the 6th Street reconstruction project
planned for 2014. The preliminary design anticipates significant geometric
changes to this intersection. Staff will continue working with DOT officials during
the design phase to incorporate the gateway improvements.
Enclosed are detailed drawings of the various sign types along with a color
rendering of each type. As was previously discussed, the gateway signage theme
has been expanded throughout the community in terms of park signage and
wayfinding signage. The Park and Recreation Board reviewed the parks systems
signage at their July 18th meeting and provided positive feedback on the signage
theme.
Also enclosed is a budget estimate for the project, spread over a 5-year period.
The total project cost is estimated at $1,869,375. The budget estimate identifies
the schedule of improvement by year. From a financial perspective, a significant
portion of the overall project is planned to occur in the first two years. Year
three has minimal improvements and year four will focus on coordinated
improvements with the 2014 6th Street reconstruction. The final year consists of
installing landscaping and vegetation upon completion of the street
reconstruction.
Confluence continues to work on the construction documents and is planning an
August bid letting for the monument signs and landscaping improvements along
6th Street between 20th Avenue and 22nd Avenue. It is anticipated grade
elevations, footings, and some signs will be installed in 2011 with the remainder
of the first bid package complete by mid-summer 2012.

Mayor’s State of the City Message. Mayor Tim Reed gave following annual “State
of City Message,” (The full presentation is available on the city’s website and on file in
the City Clerk’s Office.):
Economic Health. Brookings continues to do better than nationwide. Brookings County ranked fourth
among the least economically stressed counties in the US According to the AP in May 2010, and by
June 2011, Brookings County ranked ninth. Brookings unemployment is down slightly, but remains
steady in the 2-5% range.
City of Brookings
July 26, 2011
28
First Penny Tax Revenue. YTD May 2011 has shown an 8.82% increase, after remaining flat from
2007-2010.
Observations. Unemployment is steady at 4%, but anticipate job losses with SDSU’s budget decrease.
YTD May sales tax revenue up 8.8%. Consumer Price Index is up 3.8% in May 2011 over May 2010.
Need to be conservative with revenue projections and work to limit expense growth. 2012 Budget Plan
includes a 3% Revenue Growth and a possible 1% GF CIP reduction.
Visitor Promotion. Triple B has shown no growth from 2007-2010. YTD 2011 is up 14% and attribute
that to the concerts at the Swiftel Center and the SD Children’s Museum. As the weekends are full, the
next growth will have to come from weekday visitors.
Need to invest in Brookings. In 2010 Brookings was ranked fifth in quality of life in small mid-west
cities by http:///www.bizjournal.com . Balancing the needs of the community and the capital needs of
city hall is tough but critical to long-term growth. We must continue to preserve 2nd Penny revenues as
an investment fund to improve the economy and quality of life in Brookings.
Our Investment Fund: 75% of 2nd Penny. Revenue has remained flat for the past three years. 2012
Revenue Deb Payment equals $3.8 M cash for capital projects. That is a $100,000 annual growth.
Need to move recurring costs to general fund or other sources over the next 5 years except Street
Repair $500,000/year, Airport Runway Maintenance and Equipment, EdgeBrook Golf Course, SDSU
Growth Partnership/Innovation Campus, and Swiftel Maintenance, Equipment/Annual CIP.
5-Year 2nd Penny Needs. City Growth: $8.2M Street & Infrastructure Development, and $1.6M
Airport Realignment. Investments and Enhancements: $4M Swiftel Center, $.8M Railroad Safety, $.7M
Gateway Project (+$1.5 private donations), $3.2M Recreation Projects, and $.86M Nature Park (+$1.8
private donations).
2nd Penny Bottom Line. 2016 Ending Balance: $-10.7M: TIF up to $3M, which doesn’t include the
SDDOT land, PAC II, or Nursing Home Requests. We no longer have an Opportunity Fund.
Bonding. Constitution Debt Limit of $48.5M. Current Debt is $25M (50%). This will decrease
approximately $1M/year. The Storm Drainage Plan will increase approximately $1M/year. Remaining
Debt of $23.5M.
5-Year 2nd Penny Plan. We need a 5-year plan. During the budget sessions we will need to spend
more time than previous years on the 2nd Penny plan. We need to prioritize: What do we have to
have and when? What optional investments should we make? Do we need to or should we bond?
Opportunities & Strengths. We have a better than average economy. We have focused economic
recruitment and development with Brookings “At the Center of it All”. Conducting Campus &
Community Forums. Open and accessible government improved with the new website. SDSU
Innovation Campus constructing a new wing to hold more incubator and start-up space. Customer
Service Focus. Industrial Land availability. Improved Health Care.
City of Brookings
July 26, 2011
29
Threats & Weaknesses. Industrial Land, Health Care, State funding for SDSU, Regional & National
Economy, and Retail Recruitment.
Just a few of the city’s accomplishments: Fourth largest city in the state, Joint Government Center,
Storm Drainage (2012 halfway to completion), Gateway & Nature Park, another heavy snow year,
Airport (Layout and Design in process), Branding (see it every day – it fits), Infrastructure growth
planning (NSWE), Sustainability Committee, Code Enforcement Improvements, and clean & safe
streets.
On Deck for 2011-2012. City Hall / PD remodeling planning, update of 2020 Comprehensive Plan,
South Fire Station Planning, Volunteer Firefighters Building, and continued lobbying 34-20 project.
Revisiting the Vision. Smart & Balanced Growth: attaining a sustainable, moderate population growth
rate, informed decision-making and creating additional economic diversity; Economic Prosperity:
capturing existing industry growth, building the next general economy, new business formation and
creating a competitive business environment; Quality Amenity Base: building quality of life features that
will entice new residents to the community and creating social environments attractive to new
population targets; Focus on the Future: creating a widely accepted community vision, partnerships, and
community awareness; and Quality Physical Environment: preserving community character, ensuring
high quality/planned future developments and creating a variety of residential, commercial and
industrial developments.
From today’s Mitchell Republic(7/12/2011). “…Brookings is no doubt helped by the remarkable
growth of South Dakota State University and the annual economic jolt the city receives from the arrival
of about 13,000 extra residents each fall. But Brookings’ city and county leaders have also done their
part, as evidenced by the intergovernmental center. It’s that kind of progressive thinking that has
pushed Brookings past Watertown into the No. 4 spot on the list of the state’s most populated cities.
We think Brookings is setting a great example for other cities to follow, and we hope our local officials
take note.”
The Mayor thanked City Manager Jeff Weldon and staff, City Clerk Shari Thornes and staff,
fellow council members, and volunteer board members for their dedicated work.
Resolution No. 82-11. Mayor Reed recused himself and Deputy Mayor Thorpe introduced
this item. A motion was made by Corbett, seconded by Kubal, to approve Resolution No. 82-

Whereas, the Brookings City Council desires a New Airport Layout Plan and Approach Survey,
Project No. 3-46-0005-024-2011; and
Whereas, The City of Brookings is obligated to and hereby agrees to pay for the Agreement for

New Airport Layout Plan and Approach Survey; and
Whereas, The City of Brookings anticipates receiving grant funding for the New Airport Layout

Now, Therefore, Be Resolved, that the Mayor is hereby authorized to sign all documents
related to an Agreement for Professional Services for Brookings Regional Airport Project No.
AIP #3-46-0005-024-2011, New Airport Layout Plan and Approach Survey.
Temporary Liquor License. A public hearing and action was held on a temporary Liquor
License application for Ray’s Corner, 401 Main Ave., for a street dance for ABATE on July 23,
2011. No public comment. A motion was made by Thorpe, seconded by McClemans, to
approve. All present voted yes; motion carried.
Discussion and possible action to award Liquor Operating Agreements. Council
Member Thorpe recused herself and left the dias.
Each city council member provided comment on how many licenses to issue and their
concerns. Topics included duration of the agreement to be shortened to one year rather than
a ten-year agreement; the current and future status of restaurant licenses and their cost; the
possibility of replacing issued licenses with restaurant licenses at the end of that year;
replacement of the temporary license currently held by Bravo’s with a restaurant license; how
many licenses are available; and how many licenses to issue at this time.
ACTION: A motion was made by Reed, seconded by Kubal, to award two licenses in this
round of applications. Discussion: Bezdichek was in favor of issuing all three and within one year
convert at least two into restaurant licenses, which would put two back on the shelf. Reed expressed
concern if it wasn’t feasible to award restaurant licenses in one year. Weldon clarified there are three
new licenses available plus the one Bravo’s currently holds; however, that license is in limbo until the
restaurant license issue is resolved; there is no immediate prospect to solve that dilemma. Legislation
can be introduced, but nothing is guaranteed. The issue remains in limbo until the fee issue is resolved.
McClemans suggested the Council take action to set the restaurant fee, and questioned any national
chain needing a license in the next six months. Council members asked if the fee could be set; yes, but
according to the court case the price would have to be in the $90,000 to $100,000 range. Once a
price is set, it remains in effect for 10 years. The Council is free to change the price after ten years.
Public comment: Lori Sullivan, applicant, expressed concern about a one year agreement and
questioned if one year gave enough time for a fair evaluation of a new business. She also questioned if
the applicants were paying $25,000 for only a one year agreement and felt it was a huge risk. Mayor
City of Brookings

Reed said that year would provide applicants time to finish their plans according to their applications.
Sullivan also asked what happens if the 60/40 food to alcohol percentage doesn’t work for their
business. Britzman felt the State Department of Revenue would enforce that audit percentage. She
was concerned they would have to close at 11:00 p.m. in order to maintain the 60/40 percentage,
which limits their ability to compete with other businesses. She asked if the $25,000 fee would be
swapped out for the restaurant license fee, or would the $25,000 go towards the $100,000 fee.
Britzman thought a restaurant license could be offered in lieu of an operating agreement. It would
involve a transition from one to the other and how the fees would be resolved. The City is more
obligated to issue restaurant licenses according to state statutory guidelines. Britzman will evaluate the
transition process; but noted the City will not have discretion on the restaurant license fee. McClemans
suggested the $25,000 fee be listed as a deposit.
AMENDMENT: A motion was made by McClemans, seconded by Corbett, to issue all three
licenses. Discussion: Corbett noted a license can be called back after 90 days. Bezdichek didn’t think
it was fair to an existing or start-up business to just pull their liquor license. McClemans noted no one
else has applied and a chain franchise wouldn’t be ready in the next six months. Of the four
applicants, one is ready now and the other three will require remodeling. Reed didn’t think a chain
franchise would build without a license guarantee.
Public Comment: Garner Hansen, applicant, noted the City has four local applicants willing to spend a
lot of money. He reminded the council that two applicants said a restaurant license won’t be a good fit
for their applications. All three would generate revenue and urged the Council to issue all three.
On the amendment, Corbett and McClemans voted yes; Bezdichek, Kubal, Niemeyer, Reed
voted no; motion failed.
On the original motion, all present voted yes; motion carried.
Britzman urged the council to not take action on the restaurant license at this meeting.
McClemans suggested setting the $25,000 as a deposit against the restaurant license rather than
a fee. A motion was made by Reed, seconded by Corbett, to have the city attorney bring
correct language to set the restaurant fee in a manner that we can refund it. All present voted
yes; motion carried.
Thorpe returned to the dias.
Educational Wind Tower at Mickelson Middle School. The Brookings School District
requested permission to install an outdoor educational wind tower classroom at the Mickelson
Middle School. Wind Powering America sponsors the Wind for Schools project to raise
awareness in rural America about the benefits of wind energy while simultaneously developing a
wind energy knowledge base in future leaders of our communities, states, and nation.
ACTION: A motion was made by Reed, seconded by Kubal, to grant an exception to the
ordinance for this unique request for educational purposes. All present voted yes; motion
carried.

25th Avenue Improvement Project. For the past two years, the City’s capital budget has
been carrying as a project, the completion of 25th Avenue from its current terminus at 9th Street
north to Innovation Drive. This project has not been initiated as the need is driven chiefly by
the development of adjacent parcels which would benefit from such infrastructure. In addition,
an extension of 10th Street from its current dead-end at Innovation Village Apartments to the
newly-constructed 25th Avenue is needed. The City has now been approached by developers
who are ready to proceed with adjacent private development, thus the need for the street and
utility infrastructure. This project does require a partnership with the City to complete. This
project will open up approximately 40 acres of development for commercial and certain types
of residential uses just off Highway 14 and I-29.
The infrastructure under consideration includes the two streets indicated above with the
addition of associated water, sewer, storm drainage, curb and gutter, and any other private
utilities. These costs would be assessable under our current policy to benefitting property
owners. The streets have been dedicated as public right-of-way by the current owner and such
streets are in the City’s Master Street Plan. Sidewalks and landscaping would be done at the
time of development and not a part of this project. The assessable portion would be the
normal size infrastructure but over sizing would be necessary for water and sewer lines.
Pursuant to their policy, Brookings Municipal Utilities would pay the over sizing costs.
Likewise, the street section would be more extensive than what would be assessable so the
City would pay for “extra width and thickness” pursuant to our policy.
The benefitting parcels are currently unplatted, but would be dissected into three distinct
parcels by virtue of the installation of the streets. One parcel would be approximately 25 acres
in size immediately to the north of Lowe’s and east of 25th Avenue. (Identified as parcel 1) A
second parcel would be approximately 306 feet by 731 feet in size immediately to the west of
25th Avenue and south of 10th Street. (Identified as parcel 2) A third parcel would be
approximately 100 feet by 400 feet in size also to the west of 25th Avenue and just north of 10th
Street. (Identified as parcel 3) Due to its size, this parcel has very limited development
potential. The developers are in the process of acquiring all parcels from the current owner.
ACTION: A motion was made by McClemans, seconded by Bezdichek, to give approval to
move forward with the conceptual design and Memorandum of Understanding for this project.
All present voted yes; motion carried.
Resolution No. 83-11. No action was taken on Resolution No. 83-11, a Resolution
authorizing the Transfer of Real Property to the Brookings Economic Development
Corporation, Inc. pursuant to SDCL 9-27-36 for Economic Development purposes. Council
requested more information on exhibit A and recommendations from the investment
committee on acre rates.
Investment Committee Appointments. A motion was made by Reed, seconded by
Corbett, to appoint Council Member Thorpe, Council Member McClemans and Mayor Reed to
the BEDC Investment Committee as city representatives. The city manager will serve as an ex-
officio. All present voted yes; motion carried.

CONSENT AGENDA #4
C. Action to approve a preliminary plat of a portion of the Christie
Springs Addition in the NE¼ of the NW¼ of Section 2-T109N-
R50W.
Applicant: Oakwood Equity Group
Proposal: Create a large lot for high-density residential use
Background: This eight (8) acre parcel is bordered by 20th Street South on the north.
There are single-family homes on the west and east sides. The petitioner will be
developing the area to the south in the future.
Specifics: The various elements of this plan are addressed below:
Street Design – There are no public rights-of-way planned within the lot. Access will
only be from 20th Street South.
Land Design – The large “block” design caters to a high-density use such as an
apartment complex. The maximum density for this acreage is 24 units per acre or about
192 units. Generally, the density ranges from 50 to 70 percent of the maximum after
parking and landscaping requirements are satisfied.
Open Space – No open space is planned except for what is required by the landscape
regulations.
Drainage Plan – Surface drainage flows to the south and southeast. A
detention/retention pond has been designed south of Lot 1 that would capture runoff
from a future parking lot and roof areas. Stormwater runoff will also be carried in a
linear swale along the north and east sides.
City Engineer’s Comment: A drainage plan is being designed for this development and
the detention pond for Lot 1 is located south of this lot as shown on the site plan. The
drainage plan will need to be approved before Lot 1 can be approved for final plat, and
the final plat will also need to show any utility and drainage easements.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 6 yes and 0 no to recommend
approval of the preliminary plat.

Item #6 – Dean Christie has submitted a preliminary plat of the north 388 feet of the NE¼ of
the NW¼ of Section 2-T109N-R50W excluding the platted areas thereof.
(DeKraai/Cameron) Motion to approve the preliminary plat. All present voted aye. MOTION
CARRIED.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Item #6 – Heuton noted that the previous rezoning discussion involved information for platting
too. He asked for any new data regarding the preliminary plat.
DeKraai asked for the City Engineer’s input on the drainage issues in this area. Lanning stated
that the firm, Short, Elliot, and Hendrickson, Inc. was retained to do an independent review of
future drainage projects. They would so some stormwater drainage modeling in the Indian Hills
Addition and in the area south of 20th Street South. She noted that 20th Street South would be
reconstructed as an urban section road in the near future. Flow-throughs from the north would
go east and then south around the proposed apartment complex. The pipe under 20th Street
South may be modified depending upon the modeling information. All water from projects
south of 20th Street South would flow south.
Fargen asked what the timeline was for urban services to be brought into the area. Weldon
responded that a trunk sewer line had been planned for about three years, but it was
developer-driven. Heuton asked if sanitary sewer already existed in Main Avenue South, would
development timetables change. Wagner replied that it could, but budgets control the rate at
which they develop too.

CONSENT AGENDA #4
E. Action on Resolution No. 84-11, concurring in the Placement of
Stop Signs at Yorktown Drive and Westminster Drive at their
Intersections with Christine Avenue.
The Traffic Safety Committee discussed the issue of placing stop signs at
the intersections of Yorktown Drive and Westminster Drive at their
intersections with Christine Avenue at their January 14, 2011 meeting.
These two intersections are on the west side of the Camelot Intermediate
School and Camelot Park (see attached drawing). There are numerous
pedestrians who use the crosswalks on Christine Avenue for access to
Camelot Park and the school. Christine Avenue is classified as a minor
collector street and Yorktown Drive and Westminster Drive are both
classified as residential streets. The intersections of Yorktown Drive and
Westminster Drive at Christine Avenue would meet the stop sign warrant
in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices under the Section 2B.04
Right-of-Way at Intersections, which states in part:
2B.04 Right-of-Way at Intersections
A. An intersection of a less important road with a main road where
application of the normal right-of-way rule would not be expected
to provide reasonable compliance with the law
B. A street entering a designated through highway or street.
The Traffic Safety Committee voted unanimously to approve a stop sign at
these two intersections. This resolution will approve the installation of a
stop sign on Yorktown Drive and on Westminster Drive at their
intersections with Christine Avenue.

Yorktown Drive and Westminster Drive at their intersections with Christine Avenue.
Passed and approved this 26th day of July 2011.

children to cross at the crosswalks. Lanning stated visibility can be poor around those
intersections because cars will park all the way up to the radius, especially on Yorktown.
Lanning had researched the traffic sign warrants and asked if there were any accidents at either
of those intersections. Larson stated no accidents were on record in the last three years.
Lanning went over the MUTCD stop sign warrants. There haven’t had any problems with
accidents, but this intersection does meet the stop sign warrant of a residential street
intersecting with a collector street, which is:
2B.04 Right-of-Way at Intersections
C. An intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the
normal right-of-way rule would not be expected to provide reasonable compliance
with the law
D. A street entering a designated through highway or street.
Sonnenburg thinks a stop sign at Yorktown makes really good sense to control traffic. Lanning
asked what the pedestrian traffic is like on Westminster Drive. Larson stated she is in this area
everyday and there are many children crossing at the intersections. Lueders/Rettkowski made
a motion to add stop signs at the intersection of Yorktown Drive and Westminster Drive at
their intersections with Christine Avenue. All present voted aye. Motion passed.

7. Action on Resolution No. 85-11, a Resolution Rejecting Bids for
2011-05SSI Pheasant Nest Detention Pond Project.
The Pheasants Nest Detention Pond Project is Project No. 3 of the
drainage improvement projects identified in the Storm Drainage Master
Plan and the project was designed by Banner Associates along with
Confluence for the landscaping component. The project is located on the
southeast corner of 12th Street South and 7th Avenue South, on Block 10 of
Pheasant Nest Addition. The project will entail grading a detention pond
project with sidewalk, storm sewer pipe, drainage structures, erosion
control and landscaping. The project will also allow area for a future dog
park in the southwest corner of the lot. A schematic drawing is included.
The City has received approval from the South Dakota Department of
Environment and Natural Resources for funding from the State Revolving
Fund for this project, which will be a 20 year loan at 3% interest. The loan
payments will be funded with the Storm Drainage Fees.
The bid proposals were sent to several area contractors. The City held a
bid letting at 1:30 PM on Tuesday, July 19, 2011 at City Hall and the
following bids were received:
Rounds Construction Company, Inc., Brookings, SD $459,345.80
The only bid received from Rounds Construction Company, Inc.
$459,345.80 was approximately 93% higher than Opinion of Probable Cost
from Banner Associates for this project which was $237,397.00. The
original construction budget that was submitted to the SD DENR for this
project was $343,335. Since the bid received was much higher than both
the Opinion of Probable Cost as well as construction budget used for the
funding application, it is recommended that the bid be rejected. This
project will be rebid this winter which will hopefully result in more bids
received and a lower project cost.

8. Ordinance No. 13-11: An ordinance rezoning the west 1,115 feet
of the east 1,338 feet of the north 1,409 feet, excluding Lot C,
Christie Addition and Outlots A, 1A, B, and 1B thereof; and the
west 1,085 feet of the east 1,342 feet of the south 193 feet of the
north 1,608 feet all in the NW¼ of Section 2-T109N-R50W from
an A Agricultural District to a Residence R-3 District (20th Street
South and Main Avenue South area).
Public Hearing: August 9th
** No vote is taken on the first reading of an Ordinance. The title of the
Ordinance is read and the date for the public hearing is announced.
Applicant: Dean Christie/Oakwood Equity Group
Proposal: Rezone approximately 38 acres for high-density residential development
Background: This land was annexed into the city in March 2011. All the land is currently
undeveloped. The Future Land Use Plan has designated a residential use for this parcel.
Adjacent land abutting Main Avenue South has been planned for commercial zoning but
would remain in the Ag District at this time.
Surrounding land uses include low-density residential to the north and medium and high-
density residential to the west. However, the west side is planned for single-family
detached homes according to the preliminary plat. Land to the south is outside the city
limits and is currently farmed.
Specifics: The Residence R-3 District allows for a mix of residential densities. The
district regulations indicate the variety of uses allowed. Developers often prefer the R-3
District because it gives them flexibility in creating smaller or variable lot sizes within an
area even if the plan is for single-family dwellings. You may recall that we developed an
R-1C District last year that provided an option for establishing single-family dwellings on
lots with only 50 feet of frontage and 7,500 square feet of area. The preliminary plans
for this area show a lower-density concept for the south 2/3 of the parcel.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 2 yes and 4 no to
recommend not approving the original rezoning request. A 2/3rds majority
of the full membership of the Council would be required to overturn the
Commission and approve the original request.

OFFICIAL MINUTES
Chairperson Al Heuton called the regular meeting of the City Planning Commission to order
on July 5, 2011, at 7:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall. Members present were Wayne
Avery, Hal Bailey, Mike Cameron, Donna DeKraai, Greg Fargen, and Heuton. Alan Gregg, John
Sydow, and John Gustafson were absent. Others present were Jason Pederson, Wayne
Wagner, John Mills, Alan Mack, Dave Fiedler, City Manager Jeff Weldon, Community
Development Director Mike Struck, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, Planning and Zoning
Administrator Dan Hanson, and others.
Item #5 – Dean Christie has submitted a petition to rezone the west 1,115 feet of the east
1,338 feet of the north 1,409 feet, excluding Lot C, Christie Addition and Outlots A, 1A, B, and
1B thereof; and the west 1,085 feet of the east 1,342 feet of the south 193 feet of the north
1,608 feet all in the NW¼ of Section 2-T109N-R50W from an A Agricultural District to a
Residence R-3 District.
(Bailey/Cameron) Motion to approve the rezoning. Bailey and Cameron voted aye. Avery,
DeKraai, Fargen, and Heuton voted no. MOTION FAILED.
(DeKraai/Bailey) Motion to rezone the north 388 feet of the NE¼ of the NW¼ of Section 2-
T109N-R50W, excluding the platted areas thereof, from an A Agricultural District to a Residence
R-3 District. All present voted aye. MOTION CARRIED.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Item #5 – Jason Peterson, of Civil Design Inc., stated that the plan for the north area had
changed. The proposal would involve seven 16-unit apartment buildings with detached,
perimeter garages.
Wayne Wagner, representing Oakwood Equity Group, stated that changes to the housing
market regarding home mortgages could cause people to rent first. Their plan was to establish
high-density housing on the north end and create lower residential densities as they moved
south. The first phase would be the apartment complex since only the north end had access to
sanitary sewer facilities.
Wagner noted that the buildings would have a two-story design for center units and a one-
story design for the end units. Perimeter garages on the north would be set down so only ½ of
the wall would show towards the street. Landscaping and parking exceeded the minimum
requirements. He added that a second phase would involve 4-plexes south of the apartment
complex.
City of Brookings

John Mills, an adjacent property owner, felt the corner properties with the two homes and
some additional land should be reserved for future commercial zoning. He recommended that
enough land be zoned now so it could be property developed. He noted that additional right-
of-way along Main Avenue South and the required buffer zones between residential and
business districts should be taken into consideration since they would reduce the developable
area. Peterson remarked that their plan called for a 27 foot setback between the garages and
the east lot line. Some of this land could be rezoned in the future.
Neighbors to the north of 20th Street South were concerned about drainage. Wagner said he
was aware of their issues, and his project would be designed to take as much drainage as
possible. This water would be directed around the apartment complex. The water within the
complex would go to a detention pond along the south side.
Heuton asked how the planned drainage swale and landscaping plan would work. Peterson
stated that drain tile would allow the land to stay dry. Wagner added that they had designed a
30 foot setback into the project to facilitate a “trickle flow” and still be able to handle a large
storm event.
Fargen inquired if the original land use plan was similar to this one. Hanson replied that high-
density was always proposed in the north end, but the density was lower on the original plan.
Heuton felt that rezoning the entire area now could be premature. DeKraai asked for options.
Hanson remarked that developers have favored the flexibility offered by the R-3 regulations
since one-family, two-family, and apartments can be built under those regulations. There are
other districts that could provide similar densities without the high-density component. He
added that private covenants have been used in other recently developed subdivisions to
control density too. Wagner stated their core product was affordable, energy efficient homes.
He felt the R-3 was appropriate, and the property’s value would be controlled by the density
allowed, and the development’s design. Heuton asked if Wagner was open to phased zoning.
Wagner replied yes, as long as it did not impact the development timetable.
Mills reiterated his concern that not enough land was set aside in the corner for a future
business use. Wagner remarked that he would be willing to come back to the Planning
Commission and rezone a portion of land in this area if the apartment complex plan worked
out.

Second Readings / Public Hearings
9. Public hearing and action on a request to transfer an On-Off Sale
Malt Beverage Alcohol License for Carpy’s Pub, Roger and Verla
Carpenter, owners, from 720 22nd Avenue South to 714 22nd
Avenue South, Brookings, South Dakota, (Legal Description: The
east 77 ½’ of the west 145’ and the north 32’ 9” of the south 655’
of Lot 2, Brookings Mall Addition).
Roger and Verla Carpenter have applied to transfer their current On-Off
Sale Malt License for Carpy’s Pub from 700 22nd Ave. South to a new
location on the west side of the Brookings Mall. The applicants are
requesting a “location only” transfer and not ownership. Please note this
alcohol transfer would also include their video lottery license. If approved,
this license would be effective immediately and then subject to annual
renewal.
A public hearing and City Council action are required for all alcohol related
items including the transfer of an existing business to a new location.
All the required documents have been submitted for this application. Staff
recommends approval.
State Statutes:
SDCL 35-2-1.2 provides all applications for retail licenses ...shall be submitted to the governing board of
the municipality within which the applicant intends to operate...The governing board: "shall have discretion
to approve or disapprove the application depending on whether it deems the applicant a suitable person
to hold such license and whether it considers the proposed location suitable."
SDCL 35-2-6.2 provides the "character" requirements for alcoholic beverage licensees:
"Any license under this title...must be a person of good moral character, never convicted of a felony, and,
if a corporation, the managing officers thereof must have like qualifications. "
Procedure for issuance of licenses:
Procedurally, SDCL 35-2-3 provides that "no license for the on or off-sale at retail of alcoholic
beverages...shall be granted to an applicant for any such license, except after public hearing, upon notice."
SDCL 35-2-5 provides the procedure for the time and place of hearing and for publication of notice. If an
application for a license is refused, "no further application may be received from a person until after the
expiration of one year from the date of a refused application."

City Ordinance:
Chapter 6, Article 2, Section 5-42 of the City Code of Ordinances pertaining to Application Review
Procedure.
Sec. 6-42. - Application review procedure
The city council shall review all applications submitted to the city for available on-sale alcoholic beverage
agreements and for all alcoholic beverage licenses in accordance with SDCL ch. 35-2 (SDCL 35-2-1 et
seq.) and in accordance with the following factors:
(1) Type of business which applicant proposes to operate. On-sale alcoholic beverage operating agreements
and alcoholic beverage licenses may not be issued to convenience grocery stores, gas stations or other
stores where groceries or gasoline are sold unless it can be established that minors do not regularly
frequent the establishment.
(2) Manner in which the business is operated. On-sale alcoholic beverage operating agreements and
alcoholic beverage licenses may not be issued to establishments which are operated in a manner which
results in minors regularly frequenting the establishment.
(3) Extent to which minors are employed in such a place of business. On-sale alcoholic beverage operating
agreements and alcoholic beverage licenses may not be issued to convenience grocery stores, gas stations
or other stores where groceries or gasoline are sold and which regularly employ minors.
(4) Adequacy of the police facilities to properly police the proposed location. The city council shall inquire
of the city manager whether the police department can adequately police the proposed location.
(5) Other factors. The hours that business is conducted shall be considered by the city council in its
review of applications for on-sale alcoholic beverage operating agreements and alcoholic beverage
licenses.
(Code 1996, § 5-20)
State law reference— Local license approval, SDCL 35-2-1.2.
Summary: SDCL and case law support the premise that the decision to issue an alcoholic beverage license
is discretionary. The City can assess the character of the applicant and whether the location is suitable. A
person convicted of a felony is prohibited from applying for a license; therefore, a convicted felon would
fail the character test. In determining suitable location, the Council may involve the determination of
whether the location is suitable consistent with the procedure developed through South Dakota Case
Law. This includes the manner in which the business is operated; the extent to which minors frequent or
are employed in such place of business; the adequacy of the police facilities to properly police the
proposed location, and other factors associated with the sale of alcoholic beverages.

12. Discussion and possible action on Street Width Request for “The
Landing” in Prairie Hills Addition.
Attached is a request from Mills Development Corporation, the developer
of “The Landing at Prairie Hills”, for a variance from our engineer design
standards with regard to street width for a portion of the development.
The streets would service the townhome portion of the project that is
served by proposed streets Goldenrod Trail, Sunflower Road and
Chokecherry Lane. The request is to reduce the width of the streets from
31 feet to 28 feet. These would be city-dedicated streets and would not be
retained privately by the development through an association agreement,
which is what was done at some residences such as Meadow Green, for
example.
Staff recommends approval of the request contingent upon a permanent
parking prohibition for both sides of the streets. If the developer prefers
parking is to be permitted on one or both sides, staff recommends denial
and the minimum street width of 31 feet back-to-back should be retained
as prescribed in our subdivision regulations for the following reasons:
Such narrow streets compromise the efficiency and effectiveness of snow
removal operations. Anything less than 31 feet width with parking makes
for slow and inefficient snow removal. These streets are too narrow for
our equipment. We approved narrower streets in Valley View Addition
with one-side parking based on similar rationale as the Mills request and the
results have been extremely negative. Residents clearly do not like the
narrow streets and the quality of our snow removal operations there are
severely compromised.
The argument that wider streets are more expensive is accurate, but cost-
cutting measures by the developer that results into compromising the
quality and performance of the subdivision improvements, especially where
snow removal is concerned, should not be considered. The construction
standards we have for subdivision improvements are in place for very good
reasons.

What’s more, such narrow streets make it more difficult for fire trucks to
navigate in responding to fire calls with narrow turning radii for such
vehicles. This is further complicated by parked vehicles.
The developer certainly has the right to construct narrower streets that
our subdivision regulations prescribe but they should then remain private
streets if on-street parking is to be permitted. The City should no longer
accept dedicated streets that are weaker than our stands, which have been
determined for valid reasons.

13. Action on Resolution No. 88-11, a Resolution Declaring
Jurisdictional Change of County Road 77 (South Main Avenue)
from 20th Street South to 32nd Street South.
To: Mayor and Council Members, Jeff Weldon, City Manager and Shari Thornes, City
Clerk
From: Steven J. Britzman, Attorney at Law
Date: July 20, 2011
Re: Jurisdictional changes of portions of County Road 77 and County Road 16
Discussion. Both County Road 77 and County Road 16 are presently within the
County highway system, and therefore are within supervision of the County of
Brookings. This includes the duty to “construct, maintain and repair” these roads. The
County, as of this date, has set a date for a public hearing to remove the above-described
sections of these roads from the County highway system.
If the County acts to remove these highways from the County highway system, then the
“responsibility and supervision” of these highways may be assigned to a municipality
pursuant to SDCL §31-17-16, which provides that “secondary highways on the boundary
line of any municipality shall be assigned to such municipality and adjoining civil township
or unorganized territory as provided in §§31-17-5 and 31-17-61.
SDCL §31-17-16 sets forth the procedure for assignment of responsibility for secondary
highways on the boundary line of a municipality, and SDCL §9-45-1 authorizes a
municipality to construct, maintain and repair roads within its jurisdiction. No other
statutes appear to address the change of jurisdiction over a County highway which has
been removed from the County highway system, however the statutes cited within this
memo provide sufficient authority and guidance for the city to accept jurisdiction and full
responsibility for the portions of the roads described above.
131-17-5. Boundary highways – Secondary highway on county line – Assignment of responsibility.
The secondary highways on county lines shall be assigned to the charge of the boards of supervisors of organized
civil townships or the board of county commissioners in the case of unorganized territory as may be agreed upon
by the respective boards of county commissioners and in case of disagreement, as determined by the
transportation commission.
31-17-6. Boundary highways – Secondary highway on township line – Assignment of responsibility.
The secondary highways wholly within one county on lines between organized townships shall be assigned to the
charge of such townships as the respective boards of supervisors may agree, and, in case of disagreement, as the
board of county commissioners shall determine; and those on the line between organized civil townships and
unorganized territory as the board of commissioners shall determine.

said local law enforcement would not stop a parade float because candy was thrown. He
recommended changing the ordinance because it currently isn’t enforceable. He noted that
