Introduction and First Reading on Ordinance 23-021, an Ordinance Amending Article II of Chapter 38
- Flood Damage Prevention in City, of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Brookings, South
Dakota. Public Hearing and Action: August 22, 2023.
Summary:
City Council requested changes to the existing City Code governing floodplain development. The
last update to this code was in 1996. Since 1996 there have been significant technological
advances, flood plain studies, and evolution of best management practices, along with changes to
weather patterns which suggest storms are now more powerful and less predictable.
City Code currently requires all structures built within the floodplain be at least one (1) foot above the
base floodplain elevation. The proposed ordinance changes will require all structures built within the
floodplain to be at least two (2) feet above the base floodplain elevation, and any fill placed in the
floodplain be offset by removing the same amount of material from the floodplain to provide
compensatory storage.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.

City Council Agenda Memo
From: Charlie Richter, City Engineer
Council Meeting: August 8, 2023 / August 22, 2023
Subject: Ordinance 23-021: Revision to the Floodplain Development
Ordinance
Person(s) Responsible: John Thompson, Public Works Director
Summary:
City Council requested a study of the existing floodplain and examine current
development practices and policies for areas susceptible to flooding. The City hired
storm water consultant ISG to examine the floodplain and provide. Staff presented their
findings to the City Council at a study session earlier this year and based on feedback,
are proposing a revision to the floodplain ordinance. Staff recommends approval.
Background:
The City currently has a floodplain development ordinance that dates back to 1996.
This ordinance requires, among other things, structures to be constructed one (1) foot
above the base flood elevation. At that time, the City utilized model language from
FEMA to establish the current ordinance and reflect the minimum FEMA requirements.
Item Details:
Advancements since 1996 warrant adjustments to the City’s standards for development
within the floodplain. These changes include technology, additional data, the evolution
of best practices, weather pattern changes, impacts of stormwater movement on others,
and further examination of the Brookings flood plain.
The City currently requires all structures to be constructed at least one (1) foot above
the anticipated 100-year flood elevation (base flood elevation). Many communities have
increased the elevation requirement to two (2) and, in some cases, three (3) feet above
the base flood elevation based on their specific community environmental impact. After
examining Brookings flood plain and desired protection, the proposed revision will
require all structures to be constructed at least two (2) feet above the base flood
elevation.
To prevent property owners from negatively impacting their neighbors by displacing
water when filling within the floodplain, the City proposes adopting a compensatory
storage standard. The same volume of fill added to the floodplain will be required to be
removed from another portion of the floodplain to provide adequate storage of the water
displaced by the fill. This requirement has been adopted by numerous communities to
protect property owner rights. The change proposed would be a one-to-one
requirement. Some other communities have stricter requirements. The applicant will be
required to provide the required compensatory storage on the property that is being
altered or on a parcel of common ownership that is part of a larger plan of development.
Legal Consideration:
State statute allows cities to adopt regulations governing development within the
floodplain. The proposed changes are consistent with FEMA’s flood insurance
requirements.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
Safe, Inclusive, Connected Community – This policy will provide planning improvements
for development within the floodplain.
Financial Consideration:
None
Options and Recommendation:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve as presented
2. Amend
3. Deny
4. Move the item to a study session
5. Discuss / take no action / table
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance as presented.

Expansion to existing manufactured home park or subdivision means the
preparation of additional sites by the construction of facilities to service the lots upon
which the manufactured homes are to be affixed (including the installation of utilities,
either final site grading or pouring of concrete pads, or the construction of streets).
Flood and flooding means a general and temporary condition of partial or complete
inundation of normally dry land areas from:
(1) The overflow of inland waters; and/or

basement, but excluding crawlspace. An unfinished or flood -resistant enclosure, usable
solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage, in an area other than a
basement area, is not considered a building's lowest floor; provided that such enclosure
is not built so as to render the structure in violation of the applicable nonelevation
design requirements of this article.
Manufactured home means a structure, transportable in one or more sections,
which is built on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a
permanent foundation when attached to the required utilities. The term "manufactured

Sec. 38-32. Statutory authorization.
SDCL Chapter 11-4 (SDCL 11-4-1, et seq.) delegates the responsibility to local
governmental units to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health, safety
and general welfare of the city and its joint jurisdictional area.
Sec. 38-33. Findings of fact.
(a) The flood hazard areas of the city and within the joint jurisdictional area are subject
to periodic inundation which results in the potential for loss of life and property,
health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services,
extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of
the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general
welfare.
(b) Flood losses are caused, in part, by the cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of
special flood hazard which increase flood heights and velocities, and when such
obstructions are inadequately anchored, damage uses in other areas. Uses that are
inadequately floodproofed, elevated or otherwise protected from flood damage also
contribute to the potential for flood loss.
Sec. 38-34. Statement of purpose.
It is the purpose of this chapter to promote the public health, safety and general
welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions to specific
areas by provisions designed to:
(1) Protect human life and health;
(2) Minimize expenditures of public funds for costly flood control projects;
(3) Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding, and
generally undertaken at the expense of the general public;
(4) Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
(5) Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities, such as water and gas mains,
electric, telephone and sewer lines, and streets and bridges located in areas of
special flood hazard;
(6) Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and
development of areas of special flood hazard to minimize future flood blight
areas;
(7) Ensure that potential buyers of property are notified that property is in an area
of special flood hazard; and
(8) Ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume
responsibility for their actions.
Sec. 38-35. Methods of reducing flood losses.
In order to accomplish its purposes, this chapter includes methods and provisions
for:
(1) Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to life, health, safety and
property due to water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging
increases in erosion or in flood heights or velocities;
(2) Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such
uses, are protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
(3) Controlling the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels and natural
protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel floodwaters;
(4) Controlling filling, grading, dredging and other development which may
increase flood damage; and
(5) Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally
divert floodwaters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas.
Sec. 38-36. Lands to which this article applies.
This chapter applies to all areas of special flood hazard within the city and its joint
jurisdictional area.
Sec. 38-37. Compliance with article provisions.
Structures and land which are constructed, located, extended or altered must
comply with the regulations provided in this article.
Sec. 38-38. Basis for establishing the areas of special flood hazard.
The areas of special flood hazard are identified by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency in a scientific and engineering report entitled, "The Flood
Insurance Study for Brookings County, South Dakota and incorporated areas," dated
July 16, 2008, with the accompanying flood insurance rate maps (FIRM). This study and
accompanying maps are adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter.
The flood insurance study and FIRM are on file at the Community Development
Department, City of Brookings, 520 Third Street, Brookings, South Dakota.
Sec. 38-39. Abrogation and greater restrictions.
This ordinance is not intended to repeal, modify or impair any existing easements,
covenants or deed restrictions. However, where this ordinance and another ordinance,
easement, covenant or deed restriction conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more
stringent restrictions shall prevail.
Sec. 38-40. Interpretation.
In the interpretation and application of this ordinance, all provisions shall be:
(1) Considered as minimum requirements;
(2) Liberally construed to further the purposes of this ordinance; and
(3) Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under state
statutes.
Sec. 38-41. Warning and disclaimer of liability.
The degree of flood protection required by this ordinance is considered reasonable
for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations.
Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by
manmade or natural causes. This ordinance does not imply that land outside the areas
of special flood hazard or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or
flood damage. This ordinance does not create liability on the part of the city, any officer
or employee thereof, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency for any flood
damages which result from reliance on this ordinance or of any administrative decision
lawfully made under this ordinance.

the floodwaters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the
site; and
(10) The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions,
including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer,
gas, electrical, and water systems, streets and bridges.
(e) Upon consideration of the factors provided in subsection (d) of this section and the
purposes of this ordinance, the board of adjustment may attach conditions when
granting a variance as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this ordinance.
(f) The floodplain administrator shall maintain a record of all appeals, including
technical information, and report any variances to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency.
(g) Conditions for variances are as follows:
(1) Generally, a variance may be issued for new construction and substantial
improvements to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size, contiguous
to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base
level, provided that items in subsection (d) of this sectio n have been fully
considered. For a lot size in excess of one-half acre, the technical justifications
required for issuing the variance increase with larger lot sizes.

structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places or the state
inventory of historic places, without regard to the procedures set forth in the
remainder of this section.
(3) Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any inc rease in
flood levels during the base flood discharge would result.
(4) Variances may only be issued upon a determination that, considering the flood
hazard, the variance is the minimum necessary variance to afford relief.
(5) Variances may only be issued upon:
a. A showing of good and sufficient cause;
b. A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in
exceptional hardship to the applicant; and
c. A determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased
flood heights or additional threats to public safety, will not result in
extraordinary public expenses, will not create a nuisance, cause damage
to the public as identified in subsection (d) of this section or conflict with
existing ordinances.
(6) Any applicant to whom a variance is granted must be given written notice that
the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest floor below the base
flood elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with
the increased risk from the reduced lowest floor elevation.
Sec. 38-64 Expiration
A permit shall expire if the proposed development is not commenced within one year
after its issuance, or if the work authorized is suspended or abandoned for a period of
180 days after the work commences. Any permit issued prior to adoption of this
ordinance shall expire one year after the adoption of this ordinance, or if the work
authorized is suspended or abandoned for a period of 180 days after the work
commences. Extensions must be requested in writing with justifiable cause
demonstrated. The Floodplain Administrator may, except otherwise provided herein,
extend the time for action by the applicant for a period not exceeding 180 days.

storage requirement unless specifically required by the Floodplain
Administrator after review of the initial floodplain development permit
application:
i. Platted and constructed single family residences existing prior to
the adoption of this ordinance.
ii. Minor projects clearly having negligible impact, such as
street/parking lot resurfacing/rehabilitation, minor improvements
to residential structures, certain utility infrastructure and
appurtenances (e.g. hydrants, poles, manholes, underground
pipes), bridge/culvert rehabilitation projects, landscaping,
property maintenance, stream rehabilitation, restoration of natural
floodplain functions, and minor water quality features which
typically pose no increased fill or flood potential and which do not
inhibit the free flow of water.

has provided data from which the city shall designate its regulatory floodway, the
city shall:
(1) Meet the requirements of subsection (a)(1) through (14);
(2) Select and adopt a regulatory floodway based on the principle that the area
chosen for the regulatory floodway must be designed to carry the wa ters of the
base flood, without increasing the water surface elevation of that flood more
than one foot at any point;
(3) Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial
improvements, and other development within the adopted regulatory floodway
unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses
performed in accordance with standard engineering practice that the proposed
encroachment would not result in any increase in flood levels within the city
during the occurrence of the base flood discharge;
(4) Notwithstanding any other provisions of section 38-82, the city may permit
encroachments within the adopted regulatory floodway that would result in an
increase in base flood elevations, provided the city first appl ies for a conditional
FIRM and floodway revision, fulfills the requirements for such revisions as
established under the provisions of section 65.12 of the current NFIP
regulations (44 CFR Parts 59-78) and receives the approval of the Federal
Insurance Administrator.
Sec. 38-83. Floodways.
Located within areas of special flood hazard, established in section 38 -38, are
areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due
to the velocity of floodwaters which carry debris, potential projectiles and erosion
potential, the following provisions apply:
(1) Encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, and
other developments are prohibited unless certification by a registered
professional engineer or architect is provided demonstrating that
encroachments will not result in any increase in flood levels during the
occurrence of the base flood discharge.
(2) If subsection (1) of this section is satisfied, all new construction and substantial
improvements must comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction
provisions of this ordinance.
Secs. 38-84—38-100. Reserve
Any or all ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.

of any provisions of this article or a request for a variance.
Base flood means the flood having a one percent chance of being equaled or
exceeded in any given year.
Basement means any area of a building having its floor below ground level on all
sides.
Compensatory storage means an excavated equivalent volume of storage created
to offset the loss of existing flood storage.
Crawlspace means a foundation of solid walls which does not constitute useable

property including, but not limited to, buildings or other structures, mining, dredging,
filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations located within the area of
special flood hazard.
Existing manufactured home park or subdivision means a manufactured home park
for which the construction of facilities for servicing the lot upon which the manufactured
homes are to be affixed (including, at a minimum, the installation of utilities, either final
site grading or the pouring of concrete pads, and the construction of streets) are
completed before the effective date this ordinance was originally adopted.
Expansion to existing manufactured home park or subdivision means the
preparation of additional sites by the construction of facilities to service the lots upon
which the manufactured homes are to be affixed (including the installation of utilities,
either final site grading or pouring of concrete pads, or the construction of streets).
Flood and flooding means a general and temporary condition of partial or complete
inundation of normally dry land areas from:
(1) The overflow of inland waters; and/or
(2) The unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any
source.
Flood insurance rate map (FIRM) means the official map upon which the Federal
Emergency Management Agency has delineated both the areas of special flood
hazards and the risk premium zones applicable to the city.
Flood insurance study means the official report provided by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency which includes flood profiles, the flood boundary-floodway map,
and the water surface elevation of the base flood.

areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively
increasing the water surface elevation more than one foot.
Lowest floor means the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area, including the
basement, but excluding crawlspace. An unfinished or flood -resistant enclosure, usable
solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage, in an area other than a
basement area, is not considered a building's lowest floor; provided that such enclosure
is not built so as to render the structure in violation of the applicable nonelevation
design requirements of this article.
Manufactured home means a structure, transportable in one or more sections,
which is built on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a
permanent foundation when attached to the required utilities. The term "manufactured
home" does not include a recreational vehicle. A mobile home is considered a
manufactured home for purposes of this ordinance.
Manufactured home park or subdivision means a parcel (or contiguous parcels) of
land divided into two or more manufactured home lots for rent or sale.
New construction means structures for which the start of construction commenced
on or after the effective date this ordinance was originally adopted.
New manufactured home park or subdivision means a manufactured home, park or
subdivision for which the construction of facilities for servicing the lots upon which the

permit date. The actual start means the first placement of permanent construction of a
structure on a site, such as the pouring of slab or footings, the installation of piles, the
construction of columns, or any work beyond the state of excavation or the placement of
a manufactured home on a foundation. Permanent construction does not include land
preparation, such as clearing, grading and filling; nor does it include the installation of
street and/or walkways; nor does it include excavation for a basement, footings, piers,
or foundations or the erection of temporary forms; nor does it include the installation on

Substantial improvement means any reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition or other
improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the
market value of the structure before the start of construction of the improvement. The
term "substantial improvement" includes structures which incurred substantial damage
regardless of the actual repair work performed. The term "substan tial improvement"
does not, however, include either:
(1) Any project for improvement of a structure to correct existing violations of state
or local health, sanitary or safety code specifications which have been
identified by the local code enforcement official or building official and which
are the minimum necessary to ensure safe living conditions; or
(2) Any alteration of a historic structure, provided that the structure continues to be
designated as a historic structure.
Variance means a grant of relief from the requirements of this ordinance which
permits construction in a manner which would otherwise be prohibited by this ordinance.
Sec. 38-32. Statutory authorization.
SDCL Chapter 11-4 (SDCL 11-4-1, et seq.) delegates the responsibility to local
governmental units to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health, safety
and general welfare of the city and its joint jurisdictional area.
Sec. 38-33. Findings of fact.
(a) The flood hazard areas of the city and within the joint jurisdictional area are subject
to periodic inundation which results in the potential for loss of life and property,
health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services,
extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of
the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general
welfare.
(b) Flood losses are caused, in part, by the cumulative effect of obstructions in are as of
special flood hazard which increase flood heights and velocities, and when such
obstructions are inadequately anchored, damage uses in other areas. Uses that are
inadequately floodproofed, elevated or otherwise protected from flood damage also
contribute to the potential for flood loss.
Sec. 38-34. Statement of purpose.
It is the purpose of this chapter to promote the public health, safety and general
welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions to specific
areas by provisions designed to:
(1) Protect human life and health;
(2) Minimize expenditures of public funds for costly flood control projects;
(3) Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding, and
generally undertaken at the expense of the general public;
(4) Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
(5) Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities, such as water and gas mains,
electric, telephone and sewer lines, and streets and bridges located in areas of
special flood hazard;
(6) Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and
development of areas of special flood hazard to minimize future flood blight
areas;
(7) Ensure that potential buyers of property are notified that property is in an area
of special flood hazard; and
(8) Ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume
responsibility for their actions.
Sec. 38-35. Methods of reducing flood losses.
In order to accomplish its purposes, this chapter includes methods and provisions
for:
(1) Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to life, health, safety and
property due to water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging
increases in erosion or in flood heights or velocities;
(2) Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such
uses, are protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
(3) Controlling the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels and natural
protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel floodwaters;
(4) Controlling filling, grading, dredging and other development which may
increase flood damage; and
(5) Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally
divert floodwaters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas.
Sec. 38-36. Lands to which this article applies.
This chapter applies to all areas of special flood hazard within the city and its joint
jurisdictional area.
Sec. 38-37. Compliance with article provisions.
Structures and land which are constructed, located, extended or altered must
comply with the regulations provided in this article.
Sec. 38-38. Basis for establishing the areas of special flood hazard.
The areas of special flood hazard are identified by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency in a scientific and engineering report entitled, "The Flood
Insurance Study for Brookings County, South Dakota and incorporated areas," dated
July 16, 2008, with the accompanying flood insurance rate maps (FIRM). This study and
accompanying maps are adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter.
The flood insurance study and FIRM are on file at the Community Development
Department, City of Brookings, 520 Third Street, Brookings, South Dakota.
Sec. 38-39. Abrogation and greater restrictions.
This ordinance is not intended to repeal, modify or impair any existing easements,
covenants or deed restrictions. However, where this ordinance and another ordinance,
easement, covenant or deed restriction conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more
stringent restrictions shall prevail.
Sec. 38-40. Interpretation.
In the interpretation and application of this ordinance, all provisions shall be:
(1) Considered as minimum requirements;
(2) Liberally construed to further the purposes of this ordinance; and
(3) Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under state
statutes.

Sec. 38-41. Warning and disclaimer of liability.
The degree of flood protection required by this ordinance is considered reasonable
for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations.
Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by
manmade or natural causes. This ordinance does not imply that land outside the areas
of special flood hazard or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or
flood damage. This ordinance does not create liability on the part of the city, any officer
or employee thereof, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency for any flood
damages which result from reliance on this ordinance or of any administrative decision
lawfully made under this ordinance.

the floodwaters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the
site; and
(10) The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions,
including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer,
gas, electrical, and water systems, streets and bridges.
(e) Upon consideration of the factors provided in subsection (d) of this section and the
purposes of this ordinance, the board of adjustment may attach conditions when
granting a variance as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this ordinance.
(f) The floodplain administrator shall maintain a record of all appeals, including
technical information, and report any variances to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency.
(g) Conditions for variances are as follows:
(1) Generally, a variance may be issued for new construction and substantial
improvements to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size, contiguous
to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base
level, provided that items in subsection (d) of this section have been fully
considered. For a lot size in excess of one-half acre, the technical justifications
required for issuing the variance increase with larger lot sizes.
(2) Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, rehabilitation or restoration of
structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places or the state
inventory of historic places, without regard to the procedures set forth in the
remainder of this section.
(3) Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in
flood levels during the base flood discharge would result.
(4) Variances may only be issued upon a determination that, considering the f lood
hazard, the variance is the minimum necessary variance to afford relief.
(5) Variances may only be issued upon:
a. A showing of good and sufficient cause;
b. A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in
exceptional hardship to the applicant; and
c. A determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased
flood heights or additional threats to public safety, will not result in
extraordinary public expenses, will not create a nuisance, cause damage
to the public as identified in subsection (d) of this section or conflict with
existing ordinances.
(6) Any applicant to whom a variance is granted must be given written notice that
the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest floor below the base
flood elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with
the increased risk from the reduced lowest floor elevation.
Sec. 38-64 Expiration
A permit shall expire if the proposed development is not commenced within one year
after its issuance, or if the work authorized is suspended or abandoned for a period of
180 days after the work commences. Any permit issued prior to adoption of this
ordinance shall expire one year after the adoption of this ordinance, or if the work
authorized is suspended or abandoned for a period of 180 days after the work
commences. Extensions must be requested in writing with justifiable cause
demonstrated. The Floodplain Administrator may, except otherwise provided herein,
extend the time for action by the applicant for a period not exceeding 180 days.

regulations (44 CFR parts 59-78) and the elevation and anchoring
requirements for "manufactured homes" in subsection (a)(6).
(15) Unless otherwise provided in this ordinance, development in the floodplain
shall result in no net loss of natural floodplain storage, and compensatory
storage equal to the volume of floodplain storage displaced shall be provided
for all development above the base flood level in the floodplain.
(i) Compensatory storage requirements
i. All required compensatory storage shall be located at a
hydraulically connected site within the same drainage basin as
demonstrated by the applicant on a plan prepared by an
engineer licensed in the State of South Dakota. Compensatory
storage shall be provided on the property that is being altered or
on a parcel of common ownership that is part of a larger plan of
development.
ii. For developments that are required to have stormwater detention

storage requirement unless specifically required by the Floodplain
Administrator after review of the initial floodplain development permit
application:
i. Platted and constructed single family residences existing prior to
the adoption of this ordinance.
ii. Minor projects clearly having negligible impact, such as
street/parking lot resurfacing/rehabilitation, minor improvements
to residential structures, certain utility infrastructure and
appurtenances (e.g. hydrants, poles, manholes, underground
pipes), bridge/culvert rehabilitation projects, landscaping,
property maintenance, stream rehabilitation, restoration of natural
floodplain functions, and minor water quality features which
typically pose no increased fill or flood potential and which do not
inhibit the free flow of water.
iii. Flood protection of buildings for floodplain volume displaced by
building footprints that existed prior to the adoption of this
ordinance and which is within ten feet of said building.
(b) A recreational vehicle is ready for highway use if it is on its wheels or jacking
system, is attached to the site only by quick disconnect type utilities and security
devices, and has no permanently attached additions.
(c) When the Federal Insurance Administrator provides notice of final base flood
elevations within zones A1-30 and/or AE on the city's FIRM and, if appropriate, has
designated AO zones, AH zones, A99 zones, and A zones on the city's FIRM, and
has provided data from which the city shall designate its regulatory floodway, the
city shall:
(1) Meet the requirements of subsection (a)(1) through (14);
(2) Select and adopt a regulatory floodway based on the principle that the area
chosen for the regulatory floodway must be designed to carry the waters of the
base flood, without increasing the water surface elevation of that flood more
than one foot at any point;
(3) Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial
improvements, and other development within the adopted regulatory floodway
unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses
performed in accordance with standard engineering practice that the proposed
encroachment would not result in any increase in flood levels within the city
during the occurrence of the base flood discharge;
(4) Notwithstanding any other provisions of section 38-82, the city may permit
encroachments within the adopted regulatory floodway that would result in an
increase in base flood elevations, provided the city first applies for a conditional
FIRM and floodway revision, fulfills the requirements for such revisions as
established under the provisions of section 65.12 of the current NFIP
regulations (44 CFR Parts 59-78) and receives the approval of the Federal
Insurance Administrator.
Sec. 38-83. Floodways.
Located within areas of special flood hazard, established in section 38 -38, are
areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due
to the velocity of floodwaters which carry debris, potential projectiles and erosion
potential, the following provisions apply:
(1) Encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, and
other developments are prohibited unless certification by a registered
professional engineer or architect is provided demonstrating that
encroachments will not result in any increase in flood levels during the
occurrence of the base flood discharge.
Created: 2022-02-16 15:43:52 [EST]
(Supp. No. 13)
Page 16 of 17
(2) If subsection (1) of this section is satisfied, all new construction and substantial
improvements must comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction
provisions of this ordinance.

Summary:
City of Brookings Staff continually monitors departmental budgets and brings
amendments to the City Council as necessary to account for circumstances not

with state and local laws and maintains transparency regarding the City’s operational
and capital needs. This budget amendment will increase the Fire Department’s capital
budget for the additional amount needed to pay for the Engine 2 Replacement in full.
Background:
The Fire Department initially budgeted for the replacement of Engine 2 in 2022.
However, due to supply chain issues, delivery was delayed until August 2023. The
budget had originally included a five-year repayment plan for an interfund advance, and
payments for 2022 and 2023 totaling $215,487 are currently in the 2023 Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) Budget. Strong sales tax performance in 2022 made it
possible for the CIP Fund to sustain a payment in full for this without financing throu gh
an interfund advance. This amendment will add $393,608 to the capital budget to pay
this expenditure in full.
Item Details:
Increases the Fire Department Capital Expenditure budget in the CIP Fund by $393,608
to cover the full cost of replacing Engine 2 for $609,095.

General Authority: SDCL 42-7A-21(16).
Law Implemented: SDCL 42-7A-41.
City Attorney Opinion
Subsections 3 and 4 require separate and distinct physical facilities to be maintained
and used for the sale and consumption for each establishment license approved by the
lottery. This would mean each establishment must be able to serve alcoholic beverages
on its own premises from its own equipment, even if they are housed in the same
building with another establishment.
Section 4 requires a separate establishment for each legally described premises. A
legally described premises, in my opinion, means a separate legal description must
pertain to each establishment licensed. A legal description can be created by a
“recorded deed” which has been filed in the office of the Register of Deeds, or a plat
which identifies each establishment with a separate description, such as Lot or Parcel A
or Parcel B. A plat must also be recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds to
create a legal description. Until a legal description is recorded, it cannot create a
subdivision of an existing legal description.

From: Steven J. Britzman, City Attorney
Date: May 2, 2018
Re: Municipal Regulation of Video Lottery location Pre-empted by State Law
Conclusion: State law does allow a municipality to consider the following criteria for authorizing
video lottery machine placement when issuing an on-sale wine or malt beverage license (no other
type of alcoholic beverage license). The criteria, as fully set forth below, include the number of
establishments currently licensed for video lottery, the proximity of the business to other
establishments licensed for video lottery, the type of business and manner in which the applicant
proposes to operate it, the location of the business in relation to other businesses, residential
areas, or activities within the same general area, the extent to which minors frequent a business
connected to the one proposed, and the effect the proposed business has on economic
development. I believe the final determination is made by the South Dakota lottery, but at least
with respect to two alcoholic beverage license types—on-sale wine and malt beverages—the city
can consider these State law criteria with respect to the decision whether to authorize video
lottery machine placement in the proposed establishment. No other City ordinance or Home
Rule Charter provision is applicable to the decision making. Please let me know if you have any
comments or questions concerning this opinion.
Discussion: The South Dakota Supreme Court case of Law v. City of Sioux Falls (2011),
resolved a number of questions concerning the ability of a municipality to regulate video lottery
and in particular the location of video lottery. The Supreme Court ruled:
It specifically gave only the executive director [of the State Lottery
Commission] the power to approve or disapprove any application for a license.
SDCL 42 -7A-57. In doing so, it provided that the director consider the
application’s proposed location…. In only one statute is a municipality given any
power with regard to video lottery. SDCL 42-7A-64 allows a municipality to
consider, when issuing two types of on-sale alcoholic beverage licenses, certain
factors relevant to the placement of video lottery machines. Municipalities,
however, are not given any power to license video lottery establishments, or
otherwise control the location of such establishments. See SDCL 42-7A-64.
[¶14] Based on the character of the obligations imposed by the Legislature,
we see no delegation of power or responsibilities to municipalities and no
entrusting to municipalities the control video lottery. Rather, the statutes place all
burdens upon the State. Thus, we conclude that South Dakota’s legislative video
lottery scheme is sufficiently comprehensive to make reasonable the inference
– 2 – AUGUST 9, 2023
that the Legislature left no room for supplementary regulation of video lottery by
municipalities. It is immaterial that the City is governed by a home-rule charter or
empowered to enact zoning regulations.
SDCL 42 -7A-64 is restricted in its application to applicants for a wine retailer alcoholic
beverage license and to applicants for malt beverage licenses. In these two limited
circumstances, a municipality may consider, in addition to the criteria for the issuance of an on-
sale wine or malt beverage license, “the following criteria for authorizing video lottery machine
placement issued an on-sale wine or malt beverage license”:
(1) The number of establishments currently licensed for video lottery;
(2) The proximity of the business to other establishments licensed for video lottery;
(3) The type of business and manner in which the applicant proposes to operate it;
(4) The location of the business in relation to other businesses, residential areas,
or activities within the same general area;
(5) The extent to which minors frequent a business connected to the one proposed; and
(6) The effect the proposed business has on economic development.
The Full Text of the Statute is set forth below:
42-7A-64 Additional criteria for on-sale alcoholic beverage licensees in video lottery licensed
establishments.
42-7A-64. Additional criteria for on-sale alcoholic beverage licensees in video lottery
licensed establishments. A municipality or county may consider, in addition to the criteria for the
issuance of an on-sale alcoholic beverage license, the following criteria for authorizing video
lottery machine placement in establishments issued an on-sale alcoholic beverage license
pursuant to subdivisions 35-4-2(12) and (16):
(1) The number of establishments currently licensed for video lottery;
(2) The proximity of the business to other establishments licensed for video lottery;
(3) The type of business and manner in which the applicant proposes to operate it;
(4) The location of the business in relation to other businesses, residential areas,
or activities within the same general area;
(5) The extent to which minors frequent a business connected to the one proposed; and
(6) The effect the proposed business has on economic development.
The governing board shall certify on each application filed with the Department of
Revenue for a license granted under subdivisions 35-4-2(12) and (16) whether the business
premises is authorized for video lottery machine placement. An existing video lottery license
may not be denied renewal or transfer based upon the criteria set forth in this section. The lottery
may issue a video lottery license to those establishments certified pursuant to this section.
Notwithstanding the above provisions, a county or municipality may not restrict the number of
alcoholic beverage licenses issued under subdivisions 35-4-2(12) and (16) and certified for video
lottery to a number less than those licensed as video lottery establishments on March 1, 1994.

From: Steven J. Britzman, City Attorney
Date: May 2, 2018
Re: Municipal Regulation of Video Lottery location Pre-empted by State Law
Conclusion: State law does allow a municipality to consider the following criteria for authorizing
video lottery machine placement when issuing an on-sale wine or malt beverage license (no other
type of alcoholic beverage license). The criteria, as fully set forth below, include the number of
establishments currently licensed for video lottery, the proximity of the business to other
establishments licensed for video lottery, the type of business and manner in which the applicant
proposes to operate it, the location of the business in relation to other businesses, residential
areas, or activities within the same general area, the extent to which minors frequent a business
connected to the one proposed, and the effect the proposed business has on economic
development. I believe the final determination is made by the South Dakota lottery, but at least
with respect to two alcoholic beverage license types—on-sale wine and malt beverages—the city
can consider these State law criteria with respect to the decision whether to authorize video
lottery machine placement in the proposed establishment. No other City ordinance or Home
Rule Charter provision is applicable to the decision making. Please let me know if you have any
comments or questions concerning this opinion.
Discussion: The South Dakota Supreme Court case of Law v. City of Sioux Falls (2011),
resolved a number of questions concerning the ability of a municipality to regulate video lottery
and in particular the location of video lottery. The Supreme Court ruled:
It specifically gave only the executive director [of the State Lottery
Commission] the power to approve or disapprove any application for a license.
SDCL 42 -7A-57. In doing so, it provided that the director consider the
application’s proposed location…. In only one statute is a municipality given any
power with regard to video lottery. SDCL 42-7A-64 allows a municipality to
consider, when issuing two types of on-sale alcoholic beverage licenses, certain
factors relevant to the placement of video lottery machines. Municipalities,
however, are not given any power to license video lottery establishments, or
otherwise control the location of such establishments. See SDCL 42-7A-64.
[¶14] Based on the character of the obligations imposed by the Legislature,
we see no delegation of power or responsibilities to municipalities and no
entrusting to municipalities the control video lottery. Rather, the statutes place all
burdens upon the State. Thus, we conclude that South Dakota’s legislative video
lottery scheme is sufficiently comprehensive to make reasonable the inference
– 2 – AUGUST 9, 2023
that the Legislature left no room for supplementary regulation of video lottery by
municipalities. It is immaterial that the City is governed by a home-rule charter or
empowered to enact zoning regulations.
SDCL 42 -7A-64 is restricted in its application to applicants for a wine retailer alcoholic
beverage license and to applicants for malt beverage licenses. In these two limited
circumstances, a municipality may consider, in addition to the criteria for the issuance of an on-
sale wine or malt beverage license, “the following criteria for authorizing video lottery machine
placement issued an on-sale wine or malt beverage license”:
(1) The number of establishments currently licensed for video lottery;
(2) The proximity of the business to other establishments licensed for video lottery;
(3) The type of business and manner in which the applicant proposes to operate it;
(4) The location of the business in relation to other businesses, residential areas,
or activities within the same general area;
(5) The extent to which minors frequent a business connected to the one proposed; and
(6) The effect the proposed business has on economic development.
The Full Text of the Statute is set forth below:
42-7A-64 Additional criteria for on-sale alcoholic beverage licensees in video lottery licensed
establishments.
42-7A-64. Additional criteria for on-sale alcoholic beverage licensees in video lottery
licensed establishments. A municipality or county may consider, in addition to the criteria for the
issuance of an on-sale alcoholic beverage license, the following criteria for authorizing video
lottery machine placement in establishments issued an on-sale alcoholic beverage license
pursuant to subdivisions 35-4-2(12) and (16):
(1) The number of establishments currently licensed for video lottery;
(2) The proximity of the business to other establishments licensed for video lottery;
(3) The type of business and manner in which the applicant proposes to operate it;
(4) The location of the business in relation to other businesses, residential areas,
or activities within the same general area;
(5) The extent to which minors frequent a business connected to the one proposed; and
(6) The effect the proposed business has on economic development.
The governing board shall certify on each application filed with the Department of
Revenue for a license granted under subdivisions 35-4-2(12) and (16) whether the business
premises is authorized for video lottery machine placement. An existing video lottery license
may not be denied renewal or transfer based upon the criteria set forth in this section. The lottery
may issue a video lottery license to those establishments certified pursuant to this section.
Notwithstanding the above provisions, a county or municipality may not restrict the number of
alcoholic beverage licenses issued under subdivisions 35-4-2(12) and (16) and certified for video
lottery to a number less than those licensed as video lottery establishments on March 1, 1994.
Steve Britzman, City Attorney, opinion on AR 48:02:11:02
April 24, 2020
AR 48:02:11:02. Restrictions on multiple alcoholic beverage licenses. Persons
who hold more than one license for the on-sale consumption of alcoholic beverages
may have machines placed for each license issued provided the following requirements
are met:
1) Separate application, qualification, and fees are submitted and approved for each
premises licensed for the on-sale consumption of alcoholic beverages;
2) Separate establishment licenses are issued by the lottery for each premises
licensed for the on-sale consumption of alcoholic beverages;
3) Separate and distinct physical facilities are maintained and utilized for the
sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages for each establishment
license approved by the lottery;
4) No more than one establishment license is issued to any person for the
same legally described premises contained in the alcoholic beverage
license.
Source: 16 SDR 27, effective August 18, 1989.
General Authority: SDCL 42-7A-21(16).
Law Implemented: SDCL 42-7A-41.
City Attorney Opinion
Subsections 3 and 4 require separate and distinct physical facilities to be maintained
and used for the sale and consumption for each establishment license approved by the
lottery. This would mean each establishment must be able to serve alcoholic beverages
on its own premises from its own equipment, even if they are housed in the same
building with another establishment.
Section 4 requires a separate establishment for each legally described premises. A
legally described premises, in my opinion, means a separate legal description must
pertain to each establishment licensed. A legal description can be created by a
“recorded deed” which has been filed in the office of the Register of Deeds, or a plat
which identifies each establishment with a separate description, such as Lot or Parcel A
or Parcel B. A plat must also be recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds to
create a legal description. Until a legal description is recorded, it cannot create a
subdivision of an existing legal description.
Video Lottery State Statues and Administrative Rule
SDCL 42-7A-1. Definitions. Terms used in this chapter mean:
(6) "Licensed establishment," a bar or lounge owned or managed by an individual,
partnership, corporation, or association licensed to sell alcoholic beverages for

SDCL 42-7A-37.1. Restrictions on licensed establishment. A business licensed
pursuant to subdivisions 35-4-2(12) and (16) may not be a licensed establishment for
video lottery placement pursuant to subdivision 42-7A-1(6) unless it is a bar or lounge.
For the purposes of this section, a bar or lounge is an enterprise primarily maintained
and operated for the selling, dispensing, and consumption of alcoholic beverages on the
premises and may also include the sale and service of food. A bar or lounge may be
physically connected to another enterprise within the same building, which enterprise
may be owned or operated by the same person. There may be interior access between
a bar or lounge and a connected enterprise. However, there shall be a floor to ceiling
opaque wall separation between the two enterprises. A separation wall may be
constructed to provide visual and physical access for employees from areas in the
building not open to the public. The bar or lounge shall have a separate entrance and
exit. A separate entrance and exit is not required if entrance to the bar may only be
obtained from the other distinct enterprise and the public may not enter the other
enterprise by first passing through the bar or lounge. All video lottery machines shall be
adequately monitored during business hours. Adequate monitoring shall be
accomplished by the personal presence of an employee or by an employee using video
cameras or mirrors and periodic inspections of the bar or lounge. No new license may
be issued to any establishment after July 1, 1992, unless such establishment complies
with this section. No license may be renewed to any establishment after July 1, 1993,

SDCL 42-7A-44. Rules for placement of video lottery machines--Number limited--
Placement in bar or lounge with on-sale license. The placement of video lottery
machines in licensed establishments shall be subject to the rules of the commission
promulgated pursuant to chapter 1-26. No more than ten video lottery machines may be
placed in any licensed establishment. The bar or lounge with an on-sale license issued
pursuant to subdivision 35-4-2(12) or (16) shall be restricted to persons twenty-one
years of age or older. The entrance to the area where video lottery machines are
located shall display a sign that the premises are restricted to persons twenty-one years
or older. Notwithstanding the restrictions in § 35-4-79, persons under the age of twenty-
one may only enter the premises where video lottery machines are located provided
they are accompanied by a parent, guardian, or spouse of twenty-one years or older.
42-7A-64. Additional criteria for on-sale alcoholic beverage licensees in video
lottery licensed establishments. A municipality or county may consider, in addition to
the criteria for the issuance of an on-sale alcoholic beverage license, the following
criteria for authorizing video lottery machine placement in establishments issued an on-
sale alcoholic beverage license pursuant to subdivisions 35-4-2(12) and (16):
1) The number of establishments currently licensed for video lottery;
2) The proximity of the business to other establishments licensed for video lottery;
3) The type of business and manner in which the applicant proposes to operate it;
4) The location of the business in relation to other businesses, residential areas, or
activities within the same general area;
5) The extent to which minors frequent a business connected to the one proposed;
and
6) The effect the proposed business has on economic development.
The governing board shall certify on each application filed with the Department of

business premises is authorized for video lottery machine placement. An existing video
lottery license may not be denied renewal or transfer based upon the criteria set forth in
this section. The lottery may issue a video lottery license to those establishments
certified pursuant to this section. Notwithstanding the above provisions, a county or
municipality may not restrict the number of alcoholic beverage licenses issued under
subdivisions 35-4-2(12) and (16) and certified for video lottery to a number less than
those licensed as video lottery establishments on March 1, 1994.
