SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Dick Peterson called the Board of Adjustment to order on
Thursday, January 3, 2008 at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall. Voting
members present were Matt Kurtenbach, David Rusten, Larry Klingbile, Matt
Kurtenbach, Jay Vanduch and Peterson. Alternate-Jim Pederson was also
present. Alternate-Mike Keating was absent. Also present were Steve Berseth,
Roger DeGroot, Paul Moriarty, Planning and Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson
and others.
Item #3 – Steve Berseth, Athletic Director, explained the history of the joint use of
facilities between the city and the school. He noted that the original track was
completed five (5) years after the high school was constructed and there was
not enough room for eight (8) lanes at that time. SDSU had now partnered with
the school since SDSU’s track field could not be expanded. This created a need
for more land for buildings and bleachers. He felt it would be very difficult to find
another location for the building.
Berseth stated that the football drill area was moved to the west end, and
the proposed building would contain football equipment. Relocating it would
be inconvenient. Roger DeGroot, Superintendent, noted that the new plan
showed a reduced building and greater setback. Allyn Frerichs, Parks Director,
submitted a letter of support for the location of the building.
Kurtenbach favored the new location. Klingbile recommended approval
but only if no driveway were allowed from Medary Avenue for safety reasons.
Berseth remarked that there were no plans to install a curb cut. The portable
bleachers and football sleds were moved in and out of the track area only a
couple times a year.
Item #4 – Paul Moriarty, President of Sioux Empire Development Company,
stated the variance request was connected to an expansion of the theatre. He
explained that two (2) houses and two (2) driveways along 2nd Avenue would
be removed for the project.
He said that the block was 700 feet long on 7th Street, and all the existing
access drives were service entrances. He felt the parking lot design would
function better with an access to 7th Street versus 2nd Avenue.

Kurtenbach felt the elimination of two (2) driveways off 2nd Avenue and
the installation of one driveway along 7th Street was an improvement. Klingbile
felt traffic would be better dispersed off the site with the proposed request.
The meeting was adjourned.
