Bailey Maca Associate Planner Planning Commission Brookings, South Dakota November 4, 2025 OFFICIAL MINUTES Chairperson Scot Leddy called the meeting of the Planning Commission to order on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at 5:30 PM in the Council Chambers Room #310 on the third floor of the City & County Government Center. Members present were Tanner Aiken, Emily Braun, Kyle Jamison, Scot Leddy, Jacob Limmer, Nick Schmeichel, Roger Solum and Debra Spear. Billie Jo Hinrichs was absent. Also present were Community Development Director Michael Struck, Associate Planner Bailey Maca, Public Works Director John Thompson, Deputy Fire Chief Jeremy Scott and Deputy City Manager Johnny Mayes. Also present was Andrew Austreim, Doug Austreim, Kevin Grunewaldt, Kristi Tornquist, Sterling Pfenning, Stuart Apland, Travis Haarsma, Chad Borchard, from the public. Item #6c – Chad and Kelsey Borchard have applied for a Conditional Use Permit to operate an office in the Residential R-2 district at 709 Main Avenue. Staff recommends approval conditional on the property being limited to three office suites and the conditional use is non-transferable. (Solum/Limmer) Motion to approve the conditional use permit including staff recommendations. All present voted aye. MOTION CARRIED. OFFICIAL SUMMARY Item #6c – Chad and Kelsey Borchard recently purchased the building located at 709 Main Avenue and intends to provide up to three office suites for the following professions: Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LSCW) and Licensed Marriage & Family Counselors (LMFT). The property is located in the Residential R-2 district, where an office use is permitted subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Borchard was available to represent Kelsey Borchard, the lead councilor at The Growth Collective. He explained that many of the sessions are completed either virtually or off-site causing less traffic than a rental dwelling potentially would in his opinion. Kelsey started the practice aimed at professionals that require flexibility to provide quality care while also being able to maintain their other responsibilities. Tornquist, 727 Main Ave, inquired on the signage plans, where they anticipated most clients to park and if the conditional use would allow for mixed use within the structure. Struck stated that the entire structure would be covered under the conditional use permit and a mixed use was not requested. Borchard stated that they intend to conform to existing sign allowances and do not plan to stipulate where people park. However, the standard is for staff to park in the alley and clients in the front with the exception of the ADA parking. He does not anticipate all staff being in the office at the same time so staff and clients would utilize a mix of the parking options. Limmer asked if the building could support more than 3 suites. Borchard stated that it could but in an effort to protect their client’s privacy they do not intend to request more. Struck stated that on a residential lot, a total of 16 sq ft of signage is allowable total but no individual sign can exceed 8 sq ft. The meeting adjourned at 6:54 p.m. _______________________ ______________________________ Mike Struck, Community Development Director Scot Leddy, Chairperson Location Map 50 ft City of Brookings Staff Report Brookings City & County Government Center, 520 Third Street Brookings, SD 57006 (605) 692-6281 phone (605) 692-6907 fax File #:ORD 25-041,Version:1 Introduction and First Reading on Ordinance 25-041, an Ordinance to Rezone NE ¼ NW ¼ excluding Outlot A in Section 3-T109N-R50W from the Residential R-3 Apartment District to a Residential R-1A Single Family District (1115 West 20th Street South).

Item #6a – TH Companies LLC has submitted a petition to rezone the NE ¼ NW ¼ excluding Outlot A in Section 3-109-50, also known as 1115 W 20th Street South. The property is a 30.46-acre parcel that is currently zoned Residential R-3 Apartment District and located within a Medium Density Residential future land use class which supports the R-1A Single Family District request. Adjacent property is zoned Agriculture to the south and west, Residential R-1A Single Family District to the north and Residential R-3 Apartment District to the east. The property was rezoned from Agriculture to Residential R-3 in January 2025. The rezone included a Large-Scale Residential Plan (LSRD) that included 58 lots all with two-family dwelling units for a total of 116 dwelling units. The rezone to R- 1A would no longer support two-family dwellings. A revised preliminary plat will be required due to the minimum lot area of 15,000 square feet and minimum lot width of 100-feet in the R-1A district. The LSRD included a preliminary plat with lots varying from 9,750 to over 25,000 square feet and with lot widths as small as 75-feet. The future land use map supports the rezone of the parcel. No portion of the rezone area is located within a floodplain. Haarsma, property owner, was available for questions. Aiken stated that he appreciated the lower density of the current proposal.

A new election date must be identified by January 14, 2026. Item Details: The City Council is required to identify a new election date for the City of Brookings annual election. HB1130 identifies two date options: the 2nd Tuesday after the 1st Monday in June; OR the 2nd Tuesday after the 1st Monday in November. The historical April election date is no longer an option. The two proposed options align the annual municipal election date with the Primary and General Elections in even- numbered years. Attached is a proposed Ordinance for City Council consideration, setting the annual election date as the second Tuesday after the first Monday in June. Terms for current seated Council members will be extended as per HB1130, Section 12: “each office holder whose term was to expire earlier in the year shall have the t erm extended until the office holder or another candidate for the office is duly elected and qualified.” Based on HB1130, those whose terms would have expired in April 2026, will be extended to the new Election Date identified by the City Council. The City of Brookings and Brookings School District had expressed wanting to combine elections with Brookings County. The Brookings County Finance Officer has stated election ballot items from the City of Brookings and the Brookings School District will not be allowed to be placed on the County’s Primary or General Election Ballots. Staff with the City of Brookings and Brookings School District are working together to identify an election process which will be best for the Brookings County voters who vote in the City of Brookings and Brookings School District Elections. Legal Consideration: None. Strategic Plan Consideration: Fiscal Responsibility – The City of Brookings will responsibly manage resources through transparency, efficiency, equity, and exceptional customer service. Safe, Inclusive, Connected Community – The City of Brookings will create an environment for inclusive programs, gathering places, and events where the community can safely live, work and come together to participate in opportu nities for learning, recreation and enjoyment. Service and Innovation Excellence – The City of Brookings will provide an accessible environment committed to ongoing innovation and outstanding service through listening and engagement. Sustainability – The City of Brookings will meet environmental, community and economic desires and needs without compromising future generations’ quality of life by strategically planning, implementing and maintaining infrastructure and facilities. Financial Consideration: There will be additional election costs, as the City and School will need to purchase election equipment. Previous election arrangements involved the use of election equipment from Brookings County, which is no longer an option. The costs are not yet fully identified at this time.

General Notes Counties, cities, and schools that are looking to combine their elections in 2026 will need to produce a written agreement detailing how expenses and responsibilities will be split, as well as how other issues will be handled. Please consider the following (this is not an exhaustive list): 1. How will costs be split? 2. Will all jurisdictions print in the same paper, and who will be responsible for the publications? 3. Who will be responsible for recruiting election workers? 4. Who will be responsible for providing election materials? 5. Where will voting take place? 6. How will absentee voting be handled? 7. What will happen if all jurisdictions agree to combine, but one does not need to have an election after petitions are filed? Negotiations will need to begin early since cities and schools may have to publish vacancy notices in December, even before the election date is officially established.

General Notes Counties, cities, and schools that are looking to combine their elections in 2026 will need to produce a written agreement detailing how expenses and responsibilities will be split, as well as how other issues will be handled. Please consider the following (this is not an exhaustive list): 1. How will costs be split? 2. Will all jurisdictions print in the same paper, and who will be responsible for the publications? 3. Who will be responsible for recruiting election workers? 4. Who will be responsible for providing election materials? 5. Where will voting take place? 6. How will absentee voting be handled? 7. What will happen if all jurisdictions agree to combine, but one does not need to have an election after petitions are filed? Negotiations will need to begin early since cities and schools may have to publish vacancy notices in December, even before the election date is officially established.
