CONSENT AGENDA #4
4B. Action on Resolution No. 79-08 awarding bids for the
2008-123 Subdivision Utilities and Grading Project (for
Sieler Addition, Cardinal Drive and Remington).
This project entails the construction of streets in the Sieler Addition, located north of
the Hunters Ridge Addition in the southern part of Brookings. The streets included in
this project are Cardinal Drive, Cardinal Drive Circle and Remington. This construction
project is a TIFF project which includes water mains and services, sanitary sewer mains
and services, grading, gravel, curb & gutter and either asphalt or concrete paving. This
project was bid to have the water and sewer to be installed on the all of the streets by
November 15, 2008 and the Remington curb & gutter installed by November 15, 2008.
The Cardinal Drive and Cardinal Drive Circle curb & gutter and the street pavement
are scheduled to be completed by June 30th, 2009. The project has been bid with two
schedules and one alternate:
• Schedule A includes the street grading and concrete pavement
• Alternate A-1 is an asphalt pavement alternate
• Schedule B includes the water and sanitary sewer utilities
The plans were mailed to several area contractors and 2 builders exchanges. The bid
letting was held on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 and the City received the following
bids:
Schedule A (Grading): (Engineer’s Estimate, CDI, $334,097.40)
Clark Drew Construction Co., Brookings, SD $317,329.50
Bowes Construction, Inc. Brookings, SD $323,948.57
Rounds Construction Co., Inc., Brookings, SD $330,185.24
Alternate A-1(Asphalt Pavement): (Engineer’s Estimate, CDI, $46,944.00)
Clark Drew Construction Co., Brookings, SD $61,867.98
Bowes Construction, Inc. Brookings, SD $61,867.98
Schedule B (Utilities): (Engineer’s Estimate, CDI, $90,710.00)
VJ Ahlers Excavating, Inc., Brookings, SD $101,383.44
Prunty Construction Co., Inc., Brookings, SD $103,493.20
Runge Enterprises, Inc., Sioux Falls, SD $119,123.09
Unerground Developers, Inc., Sioux Falls, SD $119,625.93
The low Schedule A (Grading) bid was approximately 5% lower than the engineer’s
estimate (CDI, Inc.) of $334,097.40. The two Alternate A-1 (Asphalt Pavement) bids
were approximately 32% higher than the engineer’s estimate (CDI, Inc.) of $46,944.00.
The low Schedule B (Utilities) bid was approximately 12% higher than the engineer’s
estimate (CDI, Inc.) of $90,710.00.

City Council Packet
September 23, 2008
This project was designed with concrete street pavement under Schedule A, which was
a cost of $146,306.25. If bid Alternate A-1 (Asphalt Pavment) is awarded for the asphalt
street pavement, the cost of the concrete pavement would be deducted form Schedule
A. It is my recommendation that the City allow the TIFF funds to pay for the standard
residential street cost, which is for an asphalt pavement design. Staff recommends that
the developer pay for the additional cost for concrete street pavement if that is their
choice of pavement materials. This will allow the TIFF funds to be utilized on an
equitable basis among developments.
Staff recommends awarding:
1) Schedule A (Grading) to the low bidder Clark Drew Construction Co, in the
amount of $317,329.50. The low bid for Schedule A (Grading) portion of this
project included a price of $146,306.25 for concrete pavement for the streets.
2) Alternate A-1, (Asphalt Pavement), to Clark Drew Construction in the amount of
$61,867.98, which would result in a deduct of $146,306.25 for Schedule A. This
would be a net cost savings of $84,438.27 to the TIFF project.
3) Schedule B (Utilities) contract in the amount of $101,383.44 to the low bidder VJ
Ahlers Excavating, Inc.

CONSENT AGENDA #4
4G. Action on Resolution No. 83-08, A Resolution Concurring
in the Placement of Stop Signs at the Intersection of 8th
Street and 13th Avenue.
The City received a request from South Dakota State University to install stop signs at
the intersection of 8th Street and 13th Avenue, to form a 4-way controlled intersection.
This intersection currently has stop signs on 13th Avenue, as the vehicles approach 8th
Street. Currently, there are no stop signs on 8th Street at this intersection.
SDSU has been making internal campus changes to become a more pedestrian friendly
campus. One recent change was to vacate a portion of 12th Avenue, north of 8th Street.
SDSU now routes vehicles toward 13th Avenue where they may enter onto the campus,
and pedestrians are also encouraged to enter the campus using the sidewalks along 13th
Avenue. 12th Avenue is completely blocked off north of 8th Street, and vehicles can no
longer enter the campus on 12th Avenue. This change has created traffic back-ups both
for the east bound vehicles on 8th Street, and the north and south bound vehicles on
13th Avenue. However, as of this memo, there have not been any serious accidents at
this intersection due to this change.
The Traffic Safety Committee discussed this request at their September 11th, 2008
meeting. The committee discussed the traffic flows at the 8th Street & 13th Avenue
intersection, and reviewed the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Section
2B.05, Stop Sign Applications. The committee felt this intersection justified the need for
4-way stop signs because of the following reasons:
• need to control left-turn conflicts
• need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that generate high
pedestrian volumes
• an intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets
of similar design and operating characteristics where a multiway stop control
would improve traffic operational characteristics of the intersection
Because of these needs, the Traffic Safety Committee voted unanimously to approve 4-
way stop signs at the intersection of 8th Street and 13th Avenue. This resolution will
authorize the installation of two new stop signs at the intersection of 8th Street and 13th
Avenue.

WHEREAS, Section 82-373 of the Revised Ordinance of the City of Brookings, provides for
approval by the City Council for placement of stop signs in locations other than along through
streets.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council concurs in the recommendation
of the Traffic Safety Committee and the City Manager and approves the placement of stop signs
on 8th Street at its intersection with 13th Avenue.
Passed and approved this 23rd day of September 2008.

BROOKINGS TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
City Hall meeting room
Thursday, September 11, 2008
12:10 p.m.
The Brookings Traffic Safety Committee held its monthly meeting on Thursday, September 11, 2008, at
12:10 pm in the City Hall meeting room.
Members Present: Brad Whaley, Skip Webster, Jackie Lanning, Connie Bridges, Daryl Englund, Louis
Skubic, Matthew Nelson,
Members Absent: Dennis Bielfeldt, Tim Heaton, Brian Lueders, Keith Bruinsma, Becky Thompson,
and Mike Fossum.
Others Present: Bryan Gums, Dean Kattleman, Jim Weiss
Call to Order: Daryl called the meeting called to order. Jackie/Brad moved to approve minutes of the
July 10th meeting. All present voted aye. Motion carried.
New Business:
• Request to install 4-way stop signs at 8th Street and 13th Avenue. City Engineer Jackie
Lanning passed out a map showing the 8th Street and 13th Avenue area. SDSU made a request
and Dean Kattleman discussed the overall SDSU master plan and the goal to become a
pedestrian friendly campus. Kattleman stated that vehicles entering the core of campus need to
enter through 13th Avenue. He stated that this will be the only way you will be able to enter
and exit the heart of campus. Vehicles will also be able to enter at other areas such as 16th
Avenue and 11th Street. SDSU would like to see a four-way stop sign at the corner of 8th and
13th Avenue. He stated that is nearly impossible to turn left on 8th Street onto 13th Avenue and
vehicles also have a difficult time heading north and south on 13th Avenue and 8th Street. He
stated that from 7:45am until 8:30am, at noon and at 4:00pm are the most difficult times for
vehicular traffic. SDSU is continuing to grow and SDSU is also planning a new 450 person
dormitory in that area which will add even more congestion to that corner. Kattleman felt a 4-
way stop sign at the intersection of 8th Street and 13th Avenue will create a better flow of
traffic. He also mentioned that all of the SDSU advertisements in conjunction with the City are
advertising the traffic route into campus is 6th Street to Medary Avenue to 8th Street, and east
on 8th Street to 13th Avenue. SDSU does not want to route vehicles through any more
residential areas. SDSU also encourages vehicles to use Medary Avenue or use 22nd Avenue.
Whaley mentioned that 8th Street is a very busy street and he can see a real need for a four way
stop at 13th Avenue. Skubic also mentioned that there is also a lot of pedestrian traffic in that
area too. Bridges asked if the committee was okay with having stop signs at both 12th Avenue
and 13th Avenue. Kattleman thought that both intersections having 4-way stop signs will actually
make traffic flow more smoothly. Chief Gums asked if 9th Street will be open to get to
administration building and Katteman stated yes. Vehicles would use 13th Avenue and then turn
left onto 9th street for right now, but in a year from now 9th Street will probably be closed.
Lanning passed out the MUTCD chapter on four way stop signs. Our city ordinance requires us
to use the MUTCD manual for placement of traffic controls. Lanning mentioned that the
MUTCD is a guide on traffic signing but it is not mandatory. They are guides so people can make
decisions equally in municipalities. Lanning noted that warrant “D: An intersection of two
14
City Council Packet
September 23, 2008
residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of similar design and operating characteristics where
multiway stop control would improve traffic operational characteristics of the intersection”. Lanning felt
is intersection would have similar design and operating characteristics where multiway stop
control would improve traffic operational characteristics of the intersection. This would be the
situation for the north/south vehicles on 13th Avenue trying to cross 8th Street. She talked to an
engineer from HDR in Sioux Falls and asked if they always do a traffic study when they do four
way stop signs. She was concerned that MUTCD refers to a traffic study with traffic counts and
we don’t have that data or an engineering study for this situation. She wanted to be cautious
because we wouldn’t want an accident to cause a liability situation. The people from HDR said
that most times they do an engineering study for traffic warrants although it is not required. If
you don’t have the traffic study, they recommended to have good press releases and good
advertisements. Lanning said that you should normally meet several warrants and not just one.
Kattleman felt this situation meets two or three warrants. The other warrants that would apply
in this situation were:
• need to control left-turn conflicts
• need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that generate high pedestrian
volumes
Whaley also agreed with Kattleman, and the committee discussed the three warrants. Englund
thought we should make sure City Manager Weldon concurred with the committee’s
recommendation. Lanning clarified that the committee seemed to be in agreement with the
warrants under A, B, and D stated above. Skubic/Whaley made the motion to place a
four way stop at the intersection of 8th street and 13th avenue. All present voted
aye. Motion carried.

8. Ordinance No. 39-08, An Ordinance establishing a
conditional use to establish an apartment on the W ½ of
the W ½ of Lots 1 – 4, excluding Lot H-1, Block 11,
Skinners Second Addition (1016 6th Street).
Public Hearing: October 14th
Applicant: VPMN Partners
Proposal: Construct a mixed use commercial building with offices and an apartment
Background: A single-family dwelling has existed on this lot for many years. The
remaining north half of this block has a bank, a movie rental store, an office/apartment
use and two residences. The entire half block is zoned B-2.
Specifics: The B-2 District permits an office use, by right, and an apartment by
conditional use. The proposal is to have offices on the main level with up front parking.
The second level will have an apartment with parking off the alley. An existing approach
off 6th Street would be shared by the bank and office.
Adjacent properties consist of a mix of retail, office, and residential uses. This proposed
use would be similar, and the impact of the development on the adjacent properties
would likely be minimal given its design and size.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 0 yes and 4 no, with one abstention,
to recommend that this Conditional Use not be approved.

OFFICIAL MINUTES
Chairperson Greg Fargen called the regular meeting of the City Planning Commission to
order on September 2, 2008 at 7:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall. Members present
were, Al Gregg, Al Heuton, Curt Ness, Larry Fjeldos, and Fargen. Stacey Howlett, Mike
Cameron, David Kurtz, and John Gustafson, were absent. Also present were Wade Price,
Colleen Vukovich, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, City Manager Jeff Weldon, Toby Morris,
Wayne Wagner, Beverly Dobbs, City Planner Dan Hanson, and others.
Item #4 – VPMN Partners has submitted an application for a Conditional Use on the following
described real estate: the west 1/2, W 1/2 of Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, excluding Lot H-1, Block 11,
Skinner's Second Addition, also known as 1016 6th Street.
The request is to establish an apartment use in the Business B-2 District.
(Ness/Heuton) Motion to approve the conditional use.
(Heuton/Ness) Amendment to the motion to require a landscape area abutting 6th
Street to include a 30 to 40 square foot area for plantings. Ness and Heuton voted aye. Gregg
and Fjeldos voted no. Fargen abstained. AMENDMENT FAILED.
The motion was voted on. All present voted no except Fargen abstained. MOTION FAILED.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Item #4 – Wade Price, representing VPMN Partners, stated the apartment would be on the
second floor and contain three (3) bedrooms.
Heuton was concerned about the location of the building on the lot. He also felt the
community’s image was important regarding the redevelopment of the block. He recommended
that approval should be subject to additional landscape requirements since the block had little
landscaping now. Price noted that he would like to save the evergreen tree, but the elm trees
would go.
Fargen asked if parking off the alley was for the apartment. Price replied yes. Fjeldos felt
the project was too large for this size lot. He favored clustering businesses in other areas
versus packing them in on 6th Street. Fargen remarked that the current number of property
owners on the half-block was too numerous to think that a unified plan could be attained.
Colleen Vukovich, another partner, stated their project would make the block more attractive,
but they could not control other properties.

9. Ordinance No. 40-08, An Ordinance rezoning Lot 3,
Nelson Eighth Addition from an Agricultural A District to
a Residence R-1B District (15th Street South and Medary
Avenue area).
Public Hearing: October 14th
Applicant: City of Brookings
Proposal: Establish a low-density residential district
Background: The City of Brookings purchased this property from an abutting
landowner in 1998. Land to the north, west, and southwest has been developed for low-
density residential uses. Land to the east is in a high-density district but is currently
undeveloped.
Specifics: The lot contains 3.3 acres and fronts on 15th Street South. An R-1B District
designation would allow for four to possibly eight housing units depending upon the
subdivision design. It would also be compatible with adjacent land use patterns. An
existing drainageway would need to be retained along the east side. A drainage
easement over this area would be established prior to the sale of the property.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 5 yes and 0 no to recommend
approval of the rezoning.

Public Hearings, Second Readings, Ordinances:
11. Ordinance No. 36-08, an ordinance amending and
revising various building, property maintenance and
nuisance ordinances of the City of Brookings, South
Dakota.
Staff and City Attorney Britzman have reviewed the current ordinances pertaining to
code enforcement. The changes more clearly define who has the authority to execute
and enforce the regulations, and identify the manner of abatement and billing for
violations. The following amendments are being proposed:
Chapter 22: Buildings and Building Regulations
The definition of the Building Official was amended to grant enforcement authority to any city official who
is designated by the City Manager and charged with the administration or the enforcement of Chapter
22. This allows the phrase “or its authorized representative” to be removed from several paragraphs
since it is stated in the definition. The language under Section 22-341 was changed from comparing the
level of maintenance to the surrounding properties to whether the condition is “injurious to the health,
or to be indecent or offensive to the senses, or to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or
property.” This language allows more latitude in determining the level of maintenance required on
properties.
Chapter 42: Health and Sanitation
In general, the language was changed in this chapter to grant enforcement authority to any city official
who is designated by the City Manager and charged with the administration or the enforcement of
Chapter 42. The language in Section 42-175 was also revised to allow the City to utilize municipal or
State law abatement procedures or use of civil action. This would allow the City to determine the best
option for abatement.
Chapter 62: Parks, Recreation, Vegetation, and Forestry
In general, the language was changed in this chapter to grant enforcement authority to any city official
who is designated by the City Manager and charged with the administration or the enforcement of
Chapter 62. The language was updated to allow the City to bill for the costs of tall and undesirable grass
or noxious weeds. The collection of the fees may be recovered through municipal or State law
abatement procedures or by use of other collection procedures, including a civil action.
Chapter 74: Streets, Sidewalks, and Other Public Places
In general, the language was changed to all for the collection of the fees may be recovered through

(e) 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 on-sale
malt beverage and wine licenses
State Law Information:
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.”
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.
