7. Action on Resolution No. 112-10, a Resolution authorizing
Change Order No. 1 (CCO#1 Final) for 2008-05STI, 32nd Avenue
North Street Project (Bowes Construction, Inc.).
This project is for the construction of 32nd Avenue located in the Freeland Addition
north of Highway 14 Bypass. The project included storm sewer, grading, detention
pond, gravel, curb & gutter, and asphalt paving. The project has been completed and is
ready to be closed out.
The majority of the construction work was completed during 2008, including the road
construction and paving of the bottom lift of asphalt on 32nd Avenue. The existing
portion of 32nd Avenue, south of this project was damaged by the hauling operations to
construct the street and for the MTR site on north 32nd Avenue. The City requested
the Contractor to add approximately 450’ of street digout and asphalt repair to this
project. The digout work along with the top lift of asphalt was completed by May 6,
2009. The substantial completion date for this project was August 1, 2008 and the
Contractor requested a time extension (see attached letters).
This project has not been closed out because the swale to the detention pond was not
graded correctly. However, the swale was designed at a very minimal grade due to the
site elevations and the swale was too saturated during the fall of 2009 and all of 2010 to
complete the grading. Therefore, it was decided to deduct the cost of the grading from
the project, which was $2,000. In addition, two days of liquidated damages at $100 per
day was charged to the project for the grading work that was not corrected.
The total change order is as follows:
Original Contract Price: $451,905.60
Change from Previously Approved Change Orders: $ 0.00
Contract Price Prior to this Change Order: $451,905.60
Decrease of this Change Order (No. 1 Final): $ 21,280.74
Contract Price incorporating this Change Order: $473,186.34
This resolution will approve Change Order No. 1 (CCO #1 Final) which will adjust the
contract cost to add pavement removal, additional excavation, gravel and asphalt at the
south end of 32nd Avenue, deduct $2,000 for the swale grading and adjust the final
quantities to as-built quantities for a total increase of $21,280.74 to the contract. The
original amount budgeted in the Industrial Fund for this project in 2008 was $500,000,
and we have carried forward $27,269.00 to cover the final payment anticipated for 2010
to close out the project so the funds are available for this change order. This change
order will also charge the contractor two days of liquidated damages at $100.00 per day
to the contractor and will adjust the substantial completion date to May 15, 2009.
21
City Council Packet
December 28, 2010
City Manager recommendation:
The original street construction work proceeded during the 2008 construction season
with very little weather delays and the construction of the MTR site caused the
Contractor a delay in completing the street. The addition of the digout repair was a
benefit to the City due to the favorable bid costs on this project; however, we wanted
the swale grading to be completed. Since the swale is now completely vegetated, the
grading should not create any issues for the City. I recommend this change order be
approved, which will charge the contractor two days of liquidated damages and deduct
$2,000 from the contract to close out the project.

8. Action on Resolution No. 113-10, a Resolution authorizing
Change Order No. 1 for 2010-01SWR Curb & Gutter and
Sidewalk Project (Owens Enterprises, Inc.).
This project was awarded to Owens Enterprises, Inc. and entailed construction of
miscellaneous concrete work in the 2010 sidewalk area which is the area east of Medary
Avenue between 6th Street and 8th Street South. This project included repair of curb and
gutter, fillets, valley gutters, curb ramps, and homeowner trip hazard sidewalks. Also
included with this project was concrete pavement repair on Railroad Street which was
scheduled in the 2010 budget as the first year of the 5-year repair plan. In addition, new
sidewalk along the City-owned lots on 15th Street South near Willow Springs, and on 12th
Street South between Pheasant Run Road and 7th Avenue South was included with the
project.
The curb and gutter and Railroad Street portions of this project have been completed,
however, the trip-hazard sidewalk replacement was not completed during the 2010
construction season. The contractor will complete the trip hazard sidewalk portion of
this project in the spring of 2011. This will allow the property owners on the trip
hazard list to pay the 2010 replacement costs.
Two items are addressed in this change order. The contractor used curb grinding at
ramp locations instead of complete curb replacement to reduce the adjacent asphalt
patching, which resulted in an increase of $502.40. The contractor also performed
unclassified excavation on Railroad Street due to poor subgrade condition which was an
increase of $731.97. The total change order increase is $1,234.37 to the contract. The
final change order will be calculated in the spring of 2011 after the trip hazard sidewalks
are completed.
The summary is as follows:
Original Contract Price: $106,210.00
Change from Previously Approved Change Orders: $ 0.00
Contract Price prior to this Change Order: $106,210.00
Increase of this Change Order No. 1): $ 1,234.37
Contract Price incorporating this Change Order: $107,444.37
This resolution will approve Change Order No. 1 (CCO #1 Final) for an increase of

9. Action on Resolution No. 114-10, a Resolution authorizing
Change Order No. 1 (CCO#1 Final) for 2010-03SSI Village Square
Drainage Improvements (T&R Contracting, Inc.).
The Village Square Drainage Improvement Project is one of the drainage improvement
projects identified in the Storm Drainage Master Plan and the project was designed by
Civil Design, Inc. The project is located on 8th Street to the north 300 feet, between
the Village Square Apartments and the Garden Village Condominiums. The project was
awarded to T & R Contracting, Inc. of Sioux Falls and entailed removing the existing six
foot wide valley gutter and installing a new 12’ wide concrete valley gutter. The project
has been completed and is ready to be closed out.
The engineer’s estimate for the project was $124,773.00 and the contract was awarded
to T& R Contracting for the low bid of $74,074.65. There were several changes made
during construction of this project that are incorporated into this change order, which
included work to modify a sanitary sewer service from a 6” to an 8” service for an
increase of $1,355.41, add ballast rock under the valley gutter due to unstable and
saturated subgrade for an increase of $8,596.48, add retaining walls around two trees to
reduce erosion due to a steep embankment for an increase of $1,868.75, add grading
and soil preparation in a low area of the project to allow it to drain better for an
increase of $155.25, add lawn seeding on the SDSU property that was disturbed by
construction access for an increase of $575.00, and adjust plan quantities to as-built
quantities for a total increase of $13,697.57 to the contract. Even though this change
order is an increase to the project, the project was within the budgeted amount. The
project was substantially completed by the completion date and no time extension is
required. The change order is summarized as follows:
Original Contract Price: $74,074.65
Change from Previously Approved Change Orders: $ 0.00
Contract Price prior to this Change Order: $74,074.65
Increase of this Change Order No. 1 (Final): $13,687.57

10. Action to award bid on Golf Car Lease.
The city received three bids for the four year lease/rental of 36 electric golf
cars for EdgeBrook Golf Course. All three bids are from qualified long-
time companies in the golf car sales and leasing business. The golf cars bid
meet all specifications, therefore staff recommendation is to accept the low
bid of Midwest Golf Cars of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Our two past
leases (four years and five years, respectively) were with E-Z Go. Prior to
that we leased used carts for many years from Midwest. A reference check
with a current Midwest lease was satisfactory. Although the per car bid for
a tournament fleet was higher with Midwest, overall it is a minor factor, as
we only occasionally rent 25-30 cars for a tournament.

Code of Ordinances of the City of Brookings, South Dakota and
pertaining to Collection Containers in the City of Brookings,
South Dakota.
Public Hearing: January 11, 2011
** 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.
Staff periodically receives complaints from neighbors concerning the
location and length of time a property’s solid waste collection container
remains on the boulevard. The current ordinances are vague in addressing
the length of time collection containers can remain on the boulevard. The
intent of the ordinance is to allow collection containers to be placed near
the curb for collection ease and then return to a suitable place for storage
the remainder of the week. Containers located on the boulevard are not
as well protected from the elements and are subject to tipping over from
windy conditions as well as snow removal operations.
The proposed language is similar to previous ordinance language which is
believed to have been inadvertently omitted during ordinance
recodification. Historically, research indicates such an ordinance existed in
1964 and was amended in 1980.

Background: This area developed in the early to mid 1960s. It has
remained a single-family neighborhood over the last 50 years.
Specifics: The petitioner has a sharpening room toward the back of the
house and uses the garage as a repair room. I am assuming that he still uses
the garage for parking purposes. The property also has a double wide
driveway in front of the garage. The petitioner has stated he can meet the
criteria for a major home occupation. No complaints have been received
from neighbors, which is noteworthy since the applicant has operated his
business for several years.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 8 yes and 0 no to

MAJOR HOME OCCUPATION REGULATIONS
50.70.220*
Home Occupations. The City of Brookings recognizes the need for some citizens to use
their place of residence for limited nonresidential activities. However, the City believes that
the need to protect the integrity of its residential districts is the primary concern. A Zoning
and Use Registration Permit and a Conditional Use Permit are the methods used to allow and
regulate nonresidential activity within a residential district.
The objective of these permits is to allow a limited commercial type activity in a residential
district only to an extent that neighbors or passersby will not be aware of the activity by any
outward appearance or may be aware of the occupation by the existence of a sign or additional
traffic. It is therefore necessary to categorize home occupations as minor home occupations
and major home occupations.
D. Major Home Occupation. A major home occupation shall be allowed upon a premise
provided the occupation complies with the following:
1. The occupation shall be conducted entirely within the principal or accessory building
2. The occupation is clearly incidental and secondary to the principal use of the dwelling
unit for residential purposes.
3. The occupation shall not occupy more than fifty (50) percent of the gross floor area of
one story.
4. Residents of the dwelling unit and one non-resident may be employed or participate in
the home occupation.
5. Signs shall be permitted according to the regulations for residential signs in the sign
ordinance.
6. There shall be no exterior display, exterior storage or other exterior indication of the
home occupation except for a sign.
7. No occupation shall require substantial internal or external alterations or involve
construction features not customary in a dwelling unit.
8. Limited quantities of goods, products or materials associated with the home occupation
shall be permitted to be stored on the premises. Storage within a garage shall not
displace parking spaces required by this ordinance.
9. Toxic, explosive, flammable, combustible, corrosive, radioactive or other restricted
materials are prohibited.
10. Any process or activity which causes offensive odors, dust, glare, noise, smoke, heat or
vibration detectable to the normal senses off the property and any equipment or
process which creates visible or audible interference in radio or television receivers
shall be prohibited.
11. Two on-premise parking spaces, in addition to those required for the dwelling unit, shall
be provided for the home occupation.
12. There shall not be conducted on the premises the business of selling stocks of
merchandise, supplies or products provided that limited retail sales directly related to
the home occupation may be sold to clients.
13. No more than one home occupation shall be permitted within any single-family dwelling.
14. Major home occupations that attract customers, clients or other individuals to the
premises for sales or services shall not be allowed in an apartment building.

13. Ordinance No. 42-10: An Ordinance amending the Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to the creation of the Residence R-1C
District.
Public Hearing: January 11, 2011
** 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.
Proposal: Create a medium-density residential district.
Background: A group of residents came forward in 2009 to request a
review of the dwelling unit per acre densities of the Residence R-2 District.
A primary concern was the current area regulations that allowed a two-
family dwelling to be established on a lot with 9,900 square feet of area and
65 feet of frontage width.
Staff looked at several options including changing the area regulations of the
R-2 District, modifying the uses allowed within the R-2 zone or creating a
new residential district. The issue of nonconformance was a major
consideration.
Specifics: Creating the Residence R-1C District addressed several areas of
concern. First, it maintained the base area and frontage requirements for a
single-family dwelling. Second, it moved the two-family use to the
conditional use category. This insured that this change of use would be
subject to greater review. Lastly, it increased the minimum lot area and
frontage requirements for a two-family dwelling in order to better
accommodate the increase in density and on-premise parking availability.
The conditional use section of the R-1C District was also reduced by
eliminating a vocational or trade school, non-municipal library, museum or
art gallery, and a private lake.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 8 yes and 0 no to
recommend approval of the amendments.

17. Action to approve a preliminary plat of Prairie Hills Addition in
the NE¼ of Section 2-T109N-R50W (20th Street South and Main
Avenue South).
Applicant: Prairie Hills LLC
Proposal: Create a mixed use subdivision with different residential densities and various
commercial districts.
Background: The area proposed under this preliminary plan covers approximately 160
acres with an additional 20 acres of stormwater retention/open space on the east side.
Surrounding uses include undeveloped land to the southwest and east and residential
uses to the north.
Specifics: The various elements of this subdivision plan are addressed below:
Street Design – The developer is proposing 70 foot wide collector streets that would
connect to commercial lots in the northwest corner. The street intersecting 20th Street
South aligns with 7th Avenue South which is the preferred option.
Local streets proposed in the low-density residential area have the standard width of 60
feet. Rights-of-way in the planned twin-home neighborhood are shown at 45 feet. This
is the same width as rights-of-way in Valley View Addition. The paved roadway width
for these streets has not been indicated on the plan. The City Engineer has indicated
that a 45 foot wide right-of-way with a 31 foot roadway width (back of curb to back of
curb) would be acceptable to the city since no sidewalks would be installed. The
developer still has the option to install private streets.
The City Engineer has also indicated a desire for a 100 foot wide right-of-way on Main
Avenue South (50’ each side). This would insure ample boulevard widths and a five (5)
lane arterial street.
The plan shows four (4) intersections with Main Avenue South. Three access future
residential areas, and one accesses the planned commercial area.
All cul-de-sacs conform to the minimum radius requirements. Intersection off-sets are
adequate and intersecting streets are at or near 90 degrees. A small roundabout is
planned at the intersection of Sweet Grass Drive and Tall Grass parkway. Design details
are not shown on this plan.
Land Design – Block lengths vary substantially due to the proposed uses and design
concepts involved. Lots are laid out in a single-tier design due to an open space
separation. Internal lot lines are straight. However, lot lines on some cul-de-sac bulbs
57
City Council Packet
December 28, 2010
could be realigned so the radials are close to 90 degrees. These lines can be adjusted
during the final platting stage.
The Prairie Hills Pond area will serve as a borrow pit to shape and elevate specific areas
of the subdivision. The elevation change is approximately 30 feet with the high point on
the west edge of the ¼ line and the low point at the east end of the ¼ line and in the
northeast corner.
Open Space – All lots planned in the subdivision are adjacent to open space. This design
is similar to the Indian Hills Addition. Blocks 4, 6, 7, and 8 and a portion of Block 3
would be part of a twinhome development that would incorporate common area among
the dwelling units. The Prairie Hills pond and other minor stormwater retention areas
would provide additional open space.
Utilities – The majority of this subdivision will be served by a new sanitary sewer system
that would run south and eventually hook into the existing sewer line at 40th Street
South and Main Avenue South. This line would also serve adjacent developments as
they come on-line. Other services would follow as development progressed.
Street Names – The subdivision ordinance dictates how street names should be applied.
Street name suffixes are addressed in order to encourage uniformity throughout the
city. Cul-de-sacs should have a name in common with an intersecting street so they can
be more easily found by the public or emergency personnel. It is also encouraged to
maintain uniqueness with street names within a neighborhood to avoid confusion.
City Engineer’s Comment: This is a new development, which will require a drainage
plan and grading plan. A portion of the runoff from Indian Hills naturally flows through
the area through a culvert under 20th Street South and Main Avenue. Banners
Associates staff are designing the drainage and grading plans, which will be required
before any final plats are approved. At this time, it is unknown the extent of any cut and
fill operation for the development. The City Council approved an agreement which
would allow Prairie Hills to utilize platted Lot 3 (shown as “Prairie Hills Pond” along
Medary Avenue on the preliminary plat) for use of fill for the development and storm
drainage ponds.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 8 yes and 0 no to recommend
approval of the preliminary plat as presented.

RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT STAFF REPORT
Topic: Public sidewalks
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the above referenced preliminary plat on
December 7, 2010. There were no variances granted from the Subdivision Ordinance in the
Planning Commission’s motion and Section 51.64(I) of the ordinance requires sidewalks. The
preliminary plat has no language that requests a variance either. However, the applicant stated that
the design was to incorporate sidewalks in common areas at the rear of the residential lots in lieu
of sidewalks along the rights-of-ways. This is common in the Indian Hills Addition. In order to
avoid any misunderstanding, staff proposes that the City Council discuss the installation of
sidewalks, where appropriate, with the applicant prior to taking any action. CDD and Engineering
staff recommends, at a minimum, public sidewalks along Main Avenue South, 20th Street South, and
along all abutting business zoned property.
Topic: Main Avenue South right-of-way width
The preliminary plat indicated a 40 foot width for the east half of Main Avenue South from 20th
Street South to 32nd Street South. Main Avenue South is designated as a Major Arterial street on
the Major Street Plan and traffic volumes are anticipated to be high along this corridor in the future.
Staff recommends that this width be increased to 50 feet in order to accommodate a future 5-lane
roadway with ample boulevard width for future landscaping, pedestrian sidewalks and/or bike trails.
Topic: Street names
One cul-de-sac is labeled “Revell Place”. The ordinance requires the suffix “circle” for all cul-de-sac
streets and this suffix has been used uniformly in subdivisions for several years. Staff recommends
that the street be named Revell Circle.
RE: ENGINEERING DESIGN STANDARDS STAFF REPORT:
Topic: Roadway Widths
The developer is requesting a variance to install 28’ wide (back to back of curb dimension)
roadways along Goldenrod Trail, Sunflower Road and Chokecherry Lane. The right-of-way for
these streets is shown as 45’ on the preliminary plat. The standard residential roadway width is 31’
(back to back of curb dimension) with 60’ rights-of-ways.
Most developments in the City of Brookings have installed 31’ wide streets, which will allow parking
on both sides of the street and can accommodate two-way traffic in most cases. The Traffic Safety
Committee has removed parking from one side of the streets in some areas where street parking is
heavily used. In the Valley View development, the City Council approved 27’ wide streets,
however, parking was removed from one side of the streets and snow removal has been quite
challenging with the narrow street width. Staff strongly recommends requiring the roadway to
remain at 31’ wide as required by the Engineering Design Standards to accommodate snow
removal, on-street parking and traffic circulation.
It is recommended that the City Council’s decision on the above items be stated in the
motion to clarify these issues for both departments.

Chairperson Alan Gregg called the regular meeting of the City Planning Commission to
order on December 7, 2010, at 7:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall. Members present
were Wayne Avery, Mike Cameron, Greg Fargen, John Gustafson, Al Heuton, Dave Kurtz, John
Sydow, and Gregg. Donna DeKraai was absent. Also present were Mike Hemmestad, John
Mills, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, Community Development Director Mike Struck, City
Manager Jeff Weldon, Planning and Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson and others.
Item #4 – Prairie Hills has submitted a preliminary plat of Blocks 2 – 17, Prairie Hills Addition
in the E½ of Section 2-T109N-R50W.
(Gustafson/Heuton) Motion to approve the preliminary plat. All present voted aye.
MOTION CARRIED.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Item #4 – John Mills, representing Prairie Hills LLC, stated that the preliminary plan involved
land in the northeast ¼ and southeast ¼ of Section 2. He noted that the Commission had seen
the concept plan in November, and he would answer any questions they had.
Gustafson asked if street names should be continued across intersections. Hanson
replied that in most cases, they do. However, there were examples where a developer wanted
to create a theme within the subdivision, and street naming was a major part of that goal.
Hanson did note that cul-de-sacs in newer subdivisions had “Circle” as a suffix whereas “Revell
Place” was assigned to a cul-de-sac in this plan. He added that the prefix of a cul-de-sac street
usually matched the name of the intersecting street so the cul-de-sac could be found easier.
Lanning stated that the preferred right-of-way width on Main Avenue South was 100
feet or 50 feet per side. She added that the northeast portion of the plan showed 45 foot wide
rights-of-ways. This width was acceptable since no sidewalks were proposed. However, a
standard 31 foot roadway width would be required.
Heuton inquired about the proposed street connections on Main Avenue South.
Hanson stated that the locations were acceptable provided utility crossovers were attainable
according to Brookings Municipal Utilities. Future adjacent development would be required to
match up with these streets.
Cameron stated that he preferred the “circle” suffix for cul-de-sacs. Mills responded
that the reason “Place” was used on one cul-de-sac was that it represented the spot where the
original Revell farmhouse was located.
