SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson David Rusten called the Board of Adjustment meeting to order
on Thursday, February 16, 2012, at 5:00 PM in the Council Chamber at City Hall.
Members present were Jere Hieb, Jason Hoffelt, Jim Pederson, Dick Peterson, and
Rusten. Alternates Mary Kidwiler and Seth Hansen were also present. Others present
were Ben Ide, Jason Young, and Planning and Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson.
Item #5 – Ben Ide, representing G.A. Haan Development, LLC, stated the plan
involved 40 units in five (5) buildings. He noted the green space and play areas and
remarked that several plans were looked at to achieve the most parking possible.
The project was mostly for low-income families, and each unit would have one (1)
attached garage in addition to surface parking. The average parking spaces per
unit was 3.2. The request was for less than 10% from what the city ordinance
required. He stated that the total parking spaces required by the South Dakota
Housing Development Authority (SDHDA) for the low income units and the market
rate units combined would be 86.
D. Peterson felt the applicant had attempted to create the most efficient
plan possible and that the SDHDA requirements should be considered. He
supported the variance.
The meeting was adjourned.
