This was the time set upon application for the public hearing for a zoning variance for Robert Kensy, 2611 Moose Dr., to build a detached garage with less than the required side and rear-yard setback.  The Planning Commission tabled this request.  Motion by Green, second by Patterson & carried to continue the public hearing until the Planning Commission has a chance to address this.

 

City Attorney Keith Smit requested that the council deny the request of Mark Peacock – 1400 block of Main, as his request was not properly before the council.  It either has to be a zoning variance request through the Planning Commission or as an appeal for the City’s denial of a building permit.  Motion by Green, second by Jacobson & carried to deny this request at this time.

 

Ray Murray appeared before the council with the request to install informational signs for his campground, Big Rig RV Park.  It would be a blue directional sign with a camper on it and would not advertise his campground specifically.

 

The council felt that this could create additional problems with other campgrounds requesting the same courtesy.  Motion by Green, second by Anders & carried unanimously to deny Murray’s request.

 

Motion by Green, second by Jacobson & carried, with Call abstaining, to set a public hearing date of June 5, 2006 for a zoning variance for the Knuckle Saloon, 931 1st St., to construct a deck attached to the north side of the building with less than the required side-yard setback.

 

This was the time set upon application for the continuance of a public hearing for a new retail (on-sale) wine license for Roscoz, 976 Lazelle.  Dr. Billy Fields was present and apologized for not being at the last meeting.  Motion by Patterson, second by Scudder & carried unanimously to approve said license.

 

This was the time set upon application for a public hearing for the transfer of the retail (on-sale) liquor license of Perkovich Enterprises, Inc., dba Gunner’s Lounge to B&B Building & Contracting, Inc., dba Gunner’s Lounge, 1006 Main St.  Motion by Green, second by Scudder & carried unanimously to approve said transfer.

 

This was the time set upon application for a public hearing for a new restaurant malt beverage license for Guy Edwards, 2430 Junction Ave. (Lots J4 and J5 of Lot 1 Block F of Lots Mobil 1, 2 & 3 of Glover’s 2nd, Lots 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 of Block F Glover’s 2nd).

 

Guy Edwards advised that he was just trying to utilize a piece of property that he owns.  He is adding on to the existing structure to allow sufficient size for food and beer sales.

 

Mayor Zeigler advised that the only license available was for a restaurant malt beverage which requires a year-round restaurant business with a full-service kitchen.

 

City Attorney Smit advised that he would also need seating for 70 and that the ordinance did not allow for outdoor seating.

 

Edwards advised that he had planned on outdoor seating for this premise.

 

Mayor Zeigler advised that he could not have a beer garden per se but that it would be eligible for outdoor dining.

 

Green questioned if Edwards had any design plans available.  Edwards advised that this was not part of the application process.

 

Building Inspector Scott Rovere advised that he did have plans for the rear addition, which was received during the building permit application process.  He also received other plans for the original building.

 

Smit requested that Edwards withdraw his request at this time so that he is able to determine for sure if he will meet or exceed the requirements for this type of license.  Smit also gave Edwards a copy of the ordinance pertaining to this type of license.

 

Edwards advised that he would withdraw the application and come back in two weeks to reapply.

 

Motion by Patterson, second by Call & carried to continue this until the next meeting so that Edwards does not have to withdraw his application.

 

Motion by Anders, second by Call & carried to ratify the following committee/board appointments:

OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY COME BEFORE COUNCIL

 

Roger Schieman questioned what was going on across the creek regarding the new campground.  He advised that when he built his house he had to have someone make sure everything was in line prior to dirt being moved.  He further stated that just because there is a lot of money coming in with this project, the contractor still needs to follow the City’s rules.

 

Public Works Director Randy Nohava advised that he is there almost daily and that he is following through on the sewer and water inspections.  Nohava further advised that he had visited with SD DENR and as long as no storm water runoff is leaving this campground, a silt fence is not needed.  Nohava also stated that the owner is going through the application process with SD DENR for storm water run-off.

 

Doug Clark, the owner of the new campground, advised that he had contracted with Rockingtree for grass & flowers to be planted.  He is not planning on using guard rails on the road leading up to the top platform but would be putting big rocks up to outline the roads and where the campers would park.  He has spoken with SD DENR and they said that he basically needed to plant grass to capture any run-off that there may be.  He is in the application process and will have an engineer draw up a plan for storm water run-off.

 

Mayor Zeigler requested that Clark explain what is being done on the hillside.

 

Clark advised that he was finished excavating except for the lower level of the Tarrant property.  Rockingtree is supposed to be up there yet this week to hydroseed the hillside.  Clark further advised that he had been meeting with City Engineer Bob Kaufman since last August regarding this.

 

Bill Cissell advised that when he wrote that article, he talked with Clark about a silt fence.  He even called SD DENR but they didn’t get back to him prior to publishing the article.  They did call afterward and said that if over an acre of property was disturbed, a silt fence needed to be installed.

 

Clark advised that SD DENR was supposed to be visiting the campground and if they say he needs to install a silt fence, he will comply.
