This was the time set upon application for a public
hearing for a zoning amendment for Paul Bradsky of Wal-east Development, to
rezone a portion of Lot A of the SE1/4 of the SE1/4, Section 6, T5N, R5E, BHM,
City of Sturgis, Meade County to BB2.
The Planning Commission denied this request.
Bradsky advised that this property was not suitable
for any other use, as it is basically a berm next to a floodway and creek bed.
Chaplin questioned why the Planning Commission denied
this request.
Green advised that this request had been to the
Commission twice & it was denied both times because the area is saturated
with billboards as it is. Their decision
is also based on complaints they have received over the last 4 years with
people wanting the billboards taken out of the City.
Bradsky also advised that they had received signatures
from those people living in the trailer park with only 3 or 4 not wanting the
billboard. Bradsky advised that they do
not currently own the property but they have an agreement to purchase an easement. The billboard would be to advertise Cadillac
Jack’s towards Deadwood & either the water park or Country Inn in
Motion by Chaplin, second by Anders to approve said
amendment request.
Dean Flage, a Planning Commission member, advised
that there were several reasons why the Commission voted against this request. For starters, it looks like a billboard
garden in that area. Also, why couldn’t
the sign be moved around the corner into
Flage advised that he had counted the number of
billboards in that corridor from the railroad tracks to the end of billboard
zoned area. There are 20 sign fronts
going in one direction & 14 in the other direction. This is a safety hazard as people are trying
to read the signs. There are enough billboards
in this town. Also, people don’t like
housing that encroaches on their view of the
Green advised that another issue was the number of
businesses out there trying to promote & the billboards interfere with this.
Scudder advised that the City can’t change the already
existing billboards. Also, the proposed
billboard sight would be further away from the others. The City shouldn’t punish this business for
the other billboards unsightliness and there is no other feasible use for that
land.
The vote was taken and the motion carried with
Jacobson & Green voting no.
