CONSENT AGENDA #4
F. Action on Resolution No. 04-10, a Resolution rescinding
Resolution No. 109-09 and pertaining to the annexation of
property in the city of Brookings.
Resolution No. 109-09 was adopted by the City Council on October 27, 2009. In
December, Mr. Dean Christie, owner of the land annexed by Resolution No. 109-09,
came to City Hall and advised that he had entered into a contract to sell his land to
another party earlier in 2009 but the actual transfer of the ownership of the land would
not take place until April 1, 2010. He indicated that he had not sought to annex his
land.
A review of the file indicated the future owners, and not Mr. Christie, had erroneously
signed a “Petition to Annex” which is required to be signed by the owners of not less
than 3/4ths of the value of said land as stated in SDCL 9-4-1. Therefore, the petition
was not legal.
This rescission will render the City Council’s action of October 27, 2009 null and void.
A Petition to Annex, signed properly, is expected later this year on this same parcel.
Resolution No. 109-09
WHEREAS, The City of Brookings is authorized pursuant to South Dakota Codified Law 9-4-1 to annex contiguous
territory upon receipt of a written petition, describing said territory sought to be annexed, signed by not less than three-
fourths (3/4) of the legal voters and by the owner or owners of not less than three-fourths (3/4) of the value of said
territory, and
WHEREAS, The City of Brookings desires to annex the following described property, to wit:
The north 1,580 feet of the east ½ of the NW ¼ of Section 2-T109N-R50W, excluding Lot C, Christie Addition and
Outlots A, 1A, B, and 1B of the NW ¼ of Section 2-T109N-R50W , and
WHEREAS, The aforesaid land is contiguous to the present boundaries of the City of Brookings, and
WHEREAS The City of Brookings has received a Petition For Annexation of Territory signed by the owners of greater
than three-fourths (3/4) of the value of the aforesaid property and by not less than three-fourths (3/4) of the legal voters
residing in said territory, now therefore
BE IT RESOLVED By the City of Brookings, South Dakota, that the property described above is hereby annexed to the
City of Brookings.

Be It Resolved by the City Council of the City of Brookings, South Dakota as follows:
Whereas, Resolution No. 109-09 concerns the annexation of property to the City of
Brookings, and
Whereas, it has been determined that the Petition for annexation was not signed by the owners
of at least three-fourths of the value of the territory sought to be annexed, and
Whereas, State law, particularly SDCL 9-4-1, requires that the Petition for annexation be
signed by the owners of at least three-fourths of the value of the territory sought to be
annexed,
Now, Therefore, based upon the foregoing determination, it is appropriate and necessary to
rescind Resolution No. 109-09, and accordingly,
It Is Hereby Resolved by the City Council of the City of Brookings, South Dakota, that,
upon passage and publication of this Resolution, that Resolution No. 109-09 is hereby

8. Action on Resolution No. 06-10, a Resolution Authorizing Change
Order No. 1 (CCO#1 Final) for Brookings Roof Replacement
Project, BHI Construction, Inc., Sioux Falls, SD.
The Brookings Roof Replacement Project entailed replacement of a portion of the roof
material over the fire truck bay at City Hall, which included removal and replacement of
the EDPM membrane. The project also entailed replacement of the roof material for the
East Fire Station, which included removal of the ballast and membrane, replacement of
the membrane and reuse of the ballast and new aluminum soffit panels over the wooden
soffit. The bid packages included a price per square foot for replacement of deteriorated
or wet expanded polystyrene insulation material.
The project has been completed and is ready to be closed out. The contractor offered a
decrease of $741.00 to install standard EPDM membrane instead of the reinforced
membrane because the specified 45-mil membrane could not be installed on a ballast
roof according to the manufacturer’s warranty. In addition, a large amount of wet
expanded polystyrene insulation was found under the City Hall roofing membrane and
needed replacement. We anticipated there would be some insulation replacement
needed; however, the amount was unknown until the roofing material was removed. The
contract included a price of $1.90 per square foot and the amount removed was 1,008
square feet which was an increase of $8,618.40. The total increase to the project cost
was $7,877.40 with the total project costs as follows:
Original Contract Price: $40,944.00
Change from Previously Approved Change Orders: $0.00
Contract Price Prior to this Change Order: $40,944.00
Increase of this Change Order (No. 1 Final): $7,877.40
Contract Price incorporating this Change Order: $48,821.40
The City’s budget for the roof project was $49,700.00. Even though the final cost
exceeded the contract amount, it was still within the budgeted amount for this project.

9. Public Hearing and Action on Resolution No. 07-10, Levying
Assessment for Street Assessment Project No. 2009-04STA
(East/West Alley from 11th Avenue to 12th Avenue between 1st
Street and 2nd Street)
The Brookings City Council approved Resolution of Necessity No. 50-09 on May 26,
2009, authorizing the City to proceed with bidding for an alley assessment project. This
project consists of an East/West alley located from 11th Avenue to 12th Avenue between
1st Street and 2nd Street. This project is an assessment project with all of the project
costs being assessed to the abutting property owners.
This project has been closed out and this is the final step of the assessment process.
Resolution No. 50-09 included the estimated front foot cost of $38.00 as well as
stipulating the assessment can be paid over a 5-year period at 10% interest. The actual
assessed front foot cost for this alley is $36.59 which is the actual construction costs
plus the 6% engineering and administration fee. This fee was slightly lower than the
estimated amount because the final construction costs were lower than the bid.
A notice and the assessment costs were mailed to all of the affected property owners as
required by state law. This resolution will approve the assessment roll and levy the
assessment. After approval, the City Finance office will bill each of the affected property
owners.

10. Ordinance No. 33-09: An Ordinance pertaining to an application
for a Conditional Use for a major home occupation (manual press
operation) within the City of Brookings at the South 100 feet of
Lots 13 and 14, Block 5, Parkdale Home Addition, 102 West 8th
Street.
Proposal: Establish a major home occupation in a medium-density residential district
Background: Major home occupations must comply with 14 criteria listed in the zoning
ordinance. This list is in your packet. It is important to compare this list to the
information provided by the applicant.
Specifics: The house on this lot has two dwelling units. There is a basement unit and a
main/2nd floor unit where the home occupation would be located.
This home and several other adjacent homes on this block are owned by the same
party. Therefore, a parking area was established northwest of the applicant’s residence
that is used jointly by this house and other abutting residences.
The applicant has submitted a letter and photo regarding the home occupation. A
manual press is a machine that imprints a design or graphic on a T-shirt or other fabric.
Some machines can also imprint mugs, plates, puzzles, etc. It will be important to
determine what the current and future business plan is from the applicant.
The off-site parking area is a legal but unusual aspect of this request. The owner of this
property owns all the homes on the south half of the block. Therefore, a joint parking
lot was established behind the houses.
In addition to any conditions that are warranted based on testimony at the meeting, staff
would recommend approval only to the applicants and only for as long as the parking
area is accessible by the applicants.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 6 yes and 0 no to recommend
approval of this Conditional Use with the conditions listed in the ordinance.

OFFICIAL MINUTES
Chairperson Dave Kurtz called the regular meeting of the City Planning Commission to order on
December 1, 2009 at 7:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall. Members present were Wayne
Avery, Greg Fargen, Larry Fjeldos, Alan Gregg, Al Heuton, and Kurtz. Mike Cameron and John
Gustafson were absent. Also present were Jen Connors, Albert Veen, Cliff Kurtz, Ann Lamer, City
Engineer Jackie Lanning, Community Development Director Mike Struck, Planning and Zoning
Administrator Dan Hanson, and others.
Item #4 – Jen Conners has submitted an application for a Conditional Use to establish a major home
occupation (manual press operation) on the south 100 feet of Lots 13 and 14, Block 5, Parkdale Home
Addition
(Fjeldos/Fargen) Motion to approve. (Fargen/Avery) Amendment to the motion to add the following
conditions:
1. The parking area shown on the site plan shall be accessible at all times.
2. The Conditional Use shall be granted only to the applicant.

4. No retail customer traffic shall be generated on-site.
All present voted aye. AMENDMENT CARRIED.
The motion, as amended, was voted on. All present voted aye. MOTION CARRIED.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Item #4 – Hanson stated that the neighborhood was in a medium-density zoning district. The house
contained two units, and the home occupation would be on the main floor. A parking area had been
established on an adjacent lot, and it served several houses.
Jen Connors stated that the operation involved a silk screen press that transferred a design onto a T-
shirt. No heat was involved in the process.
Albert Veen, a neighbor, was concerned about traffic since parking on the street was limited to one side.
He felt UPS deliveries would impact the adjacent house due to the proximity of the driveway leading to
the parking area.
Heuton asked what materials were used in the process. Connors responded that she used a water-
based plastisol ink. Connors added that any UPS delivery trucks would park in the street and not use
the driveway next to the neighbor’s house. Heuton asked if any employees lived off-site. Connors
replied no. Fargen asked how the product would be distributed. Connors answered that she delivered
them with her personal vehicle. Kurtz inquired about inventory. Connors responded that about 20
shirts would be the maximum amount on hand.
Heuton felt the home occupation would not have a adverse impact on the neighborhood based on the
testimony but favored conditions prior to approval.

11. Ordinance No. 34-09: An Ordinance to Change the Zoning
Within the City of Brookings at Lot 18, Block 1, Nelson Second
Addition be and the same is hereby rezoned and reclassified from
a Residence RMH District to a Residence R-1A District, 1623
Medary Avenue South.
Applicant: Cliff Kurtz
Proposal: Downzone a lot from medium to low-density residential
Background: The area along the east side of Medary Avenue South was originally one
large lot. In 1999, the land was rezoned from R-1A to RMH and subsequently, replatted
into 18 lots.
Land to the north is developed with single-family homes and is in the RMH District.
Land to the south and east is undeveloped and zoned Ag. This land is part of a drainage
channel and will likely remain vacant.
Specifics: This lot is 1.9 acres in size. It contains a small house that was built in 1999 and
a larger house that was built in 2000. Prior to our current platting requirements, the
small house was dedicated to the north 90 feet of the west 110 feet of Lot 18. This
created a 9,900 square foot lot. This “lot” would become nonconforming if rezoned to
an R-1A District. The rezoning can still be considered, but the options would be to only
rezone the large portion of Lot 18, rezone all of Lot 18, or deny the rezoning.
Any decision should take into account the compatibility of this rezoning to adjacent
zoning and future land uses.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 5 yes and 0 no, with one abstention,
to recommend approval of the rezoning.

used only as an office with a double car garage underneath.
