Item #1— Roll Call
Item #2 —Approval of Agenda
Item #3 —Approval of Minutes
Item #4 — Convene as Planning Commission
Item #4a — Willow Trail LLC has submitted a Preliminary Plat of Lots 53E, 53F and 53G of Sioux
Village of Indian Hills Addition for the purpose of subdividing Lot 53 while also combining lots 50 &
51.
Item 44b — Perelandra, LLC has submitted a petition to rezone Lots 1 and 2 of Bowes First Addition
from Ag to Residential R-1 A. Any future development would require a floodplain development permit
due to the location being within the updated floodplain map.
Item #4c — Aldi has submitted a Final Development Plan on Lots 3 & 4 in block 9 of Wiesse Addition,
also known as 30316 th Street, for a proposed grocery store in the Brookings Marketplace. An
exception to the side yard landscaping was granted on the Initial Development Plan.
Foust, Project Manager with ISG, was available for questions. The building is the latest version of
Aldi's standard designs. The parking lots will remain separated per the initial development plan.
Item #4d — Staff explored areas along Main Avenue for future land use map revisions. The areas
include eight locations along Main Avenue South between 12th Street South and the S curve.
Referring to one particular area near Main Ave S and 26th Street S, Schmeichel asked if the area was
multiple parcels. Miller noted that it is one parcel and the depth was determined based on proximity to
a commercial corridor.. Schmeichel asked if property lines should be used. Miller explained the
FLUM is a rough guideline and often crosses property lines with the idea that the developer may want
a mixed uses on the same parcel. Limmer asked about the reasoning for changing Open Wetland to a
new classification. Struck explained that the FLUM was originally planned using aerial maps and areas
were flagged as potentially being more wet. When a rezone is presented, the city reviews the
Floodplain and other data to determine if an area is conducive to the proposed use. The level of
scrutiny has changed because the comprehensive plan is high-level and there are multiple detailed
reviews before a parcel can be developed.
Referring to an area near 36th Street S, Schmeichel asked if the proposed area was previously in
question regarding road maintenance for 36th Street S. Miller confirmed that it is the same area as a
previous future and use map revision.
Referring to the southernmost area, Aiken inquired what was adjacent to the north. Miller explained
that if the all of the proposed amendment areas are approved the area adjacent to the north would be
urban medium intensity.
Item #5 — Other Business
Item #5a —Aiken and Spear nominated Leddy as Chair and Limmer as Vice Chair.
