Members present were Tanner Aiken, Jacob Mills, Gregg Jorgenson, Lee Ann Pierce, Nick Schmeichel via- telephone, Roger Solum, and Fargen. Absent were Justin Borns and James Drew. Also present were Community Development Director Mike Struck, City Planner Ryan Miller, Kyle Rausch, Justin Bucher, Michael Hawley, Alan Sandor, Chris Carlson, and Clint Powell. Item #4a — This is a preliminary plat for 3 Blocks in the Northern Plains Addition located along Main Avenue S at the intersection of 15th Street South. This plat was presented to the Planning Commission at the March 1St Planning 'Commission meeting and was denied. The applicant has made modifications and has brought this plat back for review. A final drainage plan has been submitted and is currently being reviewed by City Staff. Kyle Rausch, Dakota Land Design, and Justin Bucher, Banner and Associates, presented the plan with more comprehensive drainage plans. They currently are planning for a dental clinic and they are looking for another complimentary B -2A Business for this area. This preliminary plat is for three blocks, Block I being for a medical building, Block 2 would be the other B -2A land for sale, and Block 3 would be for a looped private road and then also a strip of residential development to be an additional buffer between the B -2A district and the current residential homes to the east. Rausch and Bucher have provided a drainage plan, to City staff, which was requested by the Planning Commission in March. A detention pond is planned for the northeast corner of this parcel. The rest of the site will be sloped towards the private road and then the road will be sloped towards an inlet between the north townhomes. Storm water will be conveyed through a pipe to the pond. Thep and outlet will be worked on with the property owners to the north. They are currently working on drainage and drainage easements to get the pipe to the north. The property owners have been receptive of this plan. Mills asked Bucher if he feels confident that they will be able to get this pipe installed to drain to the north. Bucher stated yes. There will be an emergency overflow and the flow will drain onto this north property which is also the natural way this lot already drains. Rausch explained that there is a swale that naturally drains to the north where this pipe will be installed. Aiken asked what type of pond this will be, Bucher explained that it will be a grass bottom pond so it will not hold water. Bucher also stated that there will be a berm on the east side of this development, so there will not be any drainage/overflow to the east. Michael Hawley and Alan Sandor, part owners of this development, are both endodontists. They are working with other special dentistry businesses to provide additional services to the Brookings area. Item #5a — This property is currently zoned B -2A and rezone request is to Residence R-2 Two- family district. This zoning district is supported by the Comprehensive Plan. Rausch explained that this road in this development will be a private road. They do plan to build some townhomes that will be sold off. Item #6a — This Conditional Use permit would allow for townhomes to be built on this lot. There would be five - 4 unit townhomes built. There would be access to these townhomes via two private drives with access to Main Avenue South. Rausch explained that they are currently requesting five — 4 unit townhomes, but they may not build all 4 unit buildings, but if not 4, it will be less. Mills asked if this Conditional Use is transferable? Miller explained that this Conditional Use would be tied to the property/parcel. Mills feels that this Conditional Use Permit should be tied to the applicant and it would not be transferable. Rausch feels that applying this condition to the permit could make things difficult for the current owners. The parcel is currently owned by an LLC and if ownership changed because a new shareholder came in or left the group, they would be applying for a new LLC with a different name. Pierce feels that the Conditional Use permit should be issued with a condition stating the number of units allowed. Item #6b — This conditional use permit is for an in home hair salon, which is a major home occupation in a residential district. All requirements are met on the major home occupation checklist. Mills asked if this permit should be for the applicant only. Item #6c— Applicant requested this item be tabled to allow them to provide a changed and updated plan at the May meeting. Item #6d & Item #6e — Struck explained the area that is being discussed is currently City owned property where the armory is located. The City was looking for other opportunities for this property and requested plan submittals. City staff agreed that the plan provided to renovate the existing armory building for convention space, restaurant, and professional offices and west of the armory building would be a 3 -story hotel with parking. The City agreed that a TIF district would be provided to assist with this project. Clint Powell, part owner of Linchpin, explained to the Commission how the financial side of a project like this works. The meeting adjourned at 6:59 p.m. � a Ryan filler, City Planner Gre argen, Ch irperson
