SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Greg Fargen called the regular meeting of the City Planning
Commission to order on August 5, 2008 at 7:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City
Hall, Members present were David Kurtz, Al Gregg, AI Heuton, Curt Ness, Larry
Fjeldos, John Gustafson, and Fargen. Stacey Howlett and Mike Cameron were
absent. Also present were Dennis Bielfeldt, Sarah Aldinger, Dick Dempster, Lyle
Pudwill, Tim Burns, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, City Manager Jeff Weldon, City
Planner Dan Hanson, and others.'
Item #3a. 3b, and 3c -Kurtz asked if easements and stormwater drainage plans
had been approved on all three plats. City Engineer Jackie Lanning replied yes.
Item #4 - Dennis Bielfeldt, Den -Wil, Inc., stated the rezoning and development
plan would be compatible to the Innovation Campus plan. The development
® would be aesthetic and unique. Construction was planned for October.
Hanson noted that the development was a mix use project with
apartments and retail floor space. The zoning district standards that would
customarily apply would be the Residence R-3 and Business B-2 regulations.
Heuton asked if access to a future extension of 25th Avenue would be
needed. Bielfeldt responded that it would depend on the actual location of the
street.
Kurtz inquired about the proposed detention area. Lanning replied that
review and approval would occur during the building permit state: 5.4, e,
Item #5 - Sarah Aldinger and Dick Dempster of Architecture Incorporated and
Lyle Pudwill of Confluence presented a layout of the Children's Museum of South
Dakota. Aldinger stated the first floor would have a new addition containing an
entry pavilion, display, and deli. There would also be a storage area and access
to outdoor seating. A ticket office and gift shop would be on the west side of the
elementary building. There would also be a temporary exhibit area and the north
wing would contain service and maintenance rooms.
The second floor, east side, would have exhibit space, an art studio, and
movable risers for presentations. Other areas would contain administrative

Pudwill addressed the exterior layout. A bus drop-off and redesign of 4m
Street was proposed. Main access to the pavilion would be from the south and
west. Outside exhibit space would be west and north of the building. Outdoor
structures would include a shelter near a skate pond and a "farm style" building
in the farm and ranch portion. There would be a dinosaur bog and two large
landscape areas along the perimeter to serve as focal points. A small parking lot
in the northeast corner would hold 16 vehicles. Outside the fenced exhibit area
would be a neighborhood playground.
Heuton asked what fence style was proposed. Pudwill replied that masonry
piers with wrought iron would be used. Gustafson inquired if there were sight
angle issues at the intersections. Hanson responded that both the 5m and 4m
Street intersections had traffic controls so sight angle requirements were reduced.
Gustafson asked if a student pick-up area was still planned. Aldinger replied that
the 5m Street gymnasium would serve that need,
Dempster noted that construction on the pavilion would start this fall with
the project completed one year later. Heuton inquired about staff. Aldinger
responded that staff numbers would be less than the proposed on-site parking
stalls.
Gregg asked about security plans. Pudwill replied that security lighting and
possibly cameras would be installed to monitor the site. He felt the design would
provide enough visibility into the outdoor exhibit area.
Item #6 - Kurtz asked if traffic could be prevented from entering the area if the
street were vacated. Hanson responded that the ends could be gated. Pudwill
remarked that the intent was not to deny access but redesign the street so that
traffic would be slowed.
Hanson recommended that vacation of the street be subject to utility/
access easements. The Commission concurred,
Item #7- Tim Burns of Oakwood Equity Group was available for questions. Heuton
supported the TID request and encouraged the developer to build lower priced
homes which he thought were under -built in the community.
The meeting was adjourned.
