ZONING APPEAL

            Mason Steffen, Planner, gave a briefing on an appeal of a decision by the Minnehaha County Planning Commission to deny Conditional Use Permit #23-43 to allow a Rubble Dump (Tree Grinding Operation) on the property legally described as the NW1/4 (Ex. R-1 & Ex S1/2 NW1/4 & Ex. E17' W50') Section 35-T101N-R51W. The subject property is located approximately 4 miles west of Sioux Falls, at the intersection of 267th Street & 464th Avenue. The property for this request is to operate a tree grinding operation as a rubble dump site. The conditional use request states that the site would be used to collect trees, tree branches, dimensional lumber, and other non-treated wood from the public in order to grind the wood and move to an off-site location. The conditional use permit appeal was deferred from the September 19 County Commission meeting. The reason for this deferral was to allow the petitioner time to obtain a traffic study, and also to allow the petitioner's other pending conditional use permit to be resolved before final action on this request. At the October 24 County Commission Meeting, this operation was approved at a different location via Conditional Use Permit #23-51. On October 26, the petitioner submitted a withdrawal letter for this conditional use permit. Since the applicant has withdrawn the appeal of this conditional use permit, no action is required by the County Commission and the original decision of the Planning Commission to deny this request stands. Public comment was received from Diane Runge and Dan Brandt.

PUBLIC NUISANCE HEARINGS

            Kevin Hoekman, Planner, was present for the scheduled hearing on a complaint on the property legally described as N114' W73' of Peterson Tract 2 in SW1/4 SW1/4 of Section 17-T103N-R50W Lyons Township, a Public Nuisance and Enact SDCL 21-10-06. Mr. Hoekman stated that the property has a history of noncompliance with the nuisance ordinance. A public nuisance has been declared on the property at a minimum of twice as many complaints over the years. Several vehicles have been on the property for many years with licenses updated as needed or converted into historical license plates. During a recent site visit, it was discovered that several of the vehicles have commercial dealership paper tags placed on the windows of the vehicles. Planning staff noted that vehicles are not in operational condition and have been abandoned at the property.

            Chair Bender asked for proponents and opponents to speak about the public nuisance complaint. There were no proponents or opponents to speak about the public nuisance complaint.

            MOTION by Karsky, seconded by Beninga, to declare the Property Legally Described as N114’ W73’ of Peterson Tract 2 in the SW1/4 SW1/4 of Section 17 T103N-R50W, in Lyons Township, a Public Nuisance and Enact SDCL 21-10-06. By roll call vote: 4 ayes.

            Kevin Hoekman, Planner, was present for the scheduled hearing on a complaint on the property legally described as Tract 4 (Ex H-1) West Acres on the SW1/4 of Section 17-T101N-R50W in Wayne Township. A nearby resident brought this property along with a neighboring property to the attention of the Planning Staff. There was action taken to remove nuisance items from the neighboring property while this property remains a non-complaint. Planning staff observed abandoned property displayed in the front yard and abandoned vehicles placed in the rear yard.

            Chair Bender asked for proponents and opponents to speak about the public nuisance complaint. There were no proponents or opponents in attendance to speak on the public nuisance complaint.

            MOTION by Karsky, seconded by Bleyenberg, to declare Property Legally Described as Tract 4 (EX H-1) West Acres in the SW1/4 of Section 17 T101N-R50W, in Wayne Township, a Public Nuisance and Enact SDCL 21-10-06. By roll call vote: 4 ayes.

ALCOHOL LICENSE

            Kym Christiansen, Commission Recorder, was present for a public hearing to consider a transfer of a Retail (On-Off Sale) Malt Beverage & SD Farm Wine License. The application for the transfer for a Retail (On-Off Sale) Malt Beverage and SD Farm Wine License is currently held by Kalvin Olson d/b/a Buffalo Trading Post. The property is legally described as NE1/4 (Ex Tr 1 & H-2) of Olson' Addition, Section 28-Township-104N-Range 52W and located at 24805 457th Ave in Colton. The license will be transferred to Kjellsen Enterprises 3, LLC d/b/a Buffalo Trading Post. The license would allow for the sale of malt beverages and SD Farm Wine at the store, which is located in Minnehaha County. The application was reviewed by the Sheriff's Office, State's Attorney's Office, and Planning & Zoning Department and there were no objections or concerns reported.

            Chair Bender asked for proponents and opponents to speak on the topic. There were no proponents or opponents in attendance to speak on the topic.

            MOTION by Karsky, seconded by Bleyenberg, to approve a transfer of a Retail (On-Off Sale) Malt Beverage & SD Farm Wine License for Kjellsen Enterprises 3, LLC. By roll call vote: 4 ayes.

RESOLUTION MINNEHAHA COUNTY 23-33

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE COMMENCEMENT OF A CIVIL ACTION

            WHEREAS, in 1938 Winona Axtell Lyon made a gift of certain real estate to Minnehaha County in commemoration of her deceased husband William H. Lyon subject to certain “restrictions and limitations” including, without limitation, that such property was to be “designated as the William H. Lyon Fair Grounds”; and

            WHEREAS, in 1940 Winona Axtell Lyon reconveyed the same real property to Minnehaha County which was contained within her 1938 deed to Minnehaha County subject to similar and additional “restrictions and limitations”; and

            WHEREAS, in 1942 Winona Axtell Lyon made a further gift of additional real estate to Minnehaha County in commemoration of her deceased husband William H. Lyon as an expansion of the William H. Lyon Fair Grounds and again made this gift subject to additional “restrictions and limitations”; and

            WHEREAS, the William H. Lyon Fair Grounds is the site of the Sioux Empire Fair, 4-H Achievement Days, Sioux Empire Livestock Show, sporting events, community events, horse shows and rodeos; and

            WHEREAS, 500,000 people attend an event at the Fair Grounds each year; and

            WHEREAS, the Minnehaha County Board of Commissioners in an effort to revitalize the W.H. Fair Grounds commissioned the W.H. Lyon Fair Grounds Task Force (“Task Force”) to review and establish goals and recommendations to honor the wishes of Winona Axtell Lyon, recognize the community support for the activities at the Fair Grounds; and improve the Fair Grounds to better meet the evolving needs of the exhibitors, contestants, attendees, and sponsors of all such events both now and in the future; and

            WHEREAS, the Task Force recognized that a major hinderance to the operation and development of the Fair Grounds is the deed restrictions and Task Force’s top recommendations were to: determine the cost of either improving the existing property or entertain other potential sites for relocation; clarify the long-term property status; and clarify the deed restrictions so that the County can better understand its options;

            WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners finds that given the findings and recommendations of the Task Force and the surrounding development and economic pressures of the Fair Grounds in their current location it is in the best interests of Winona Axtell Lyon’s original intent and the County to pursue a legal action to seek judicial clarification and/or removal of “restrictions and limitations” placed on the property by Winona Axtell Lyon at the time of her original gifts;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of County Commissioners of Minnehaha County, South Dakota, that the Minnehaha County State’s Attorney is hereby authorized to institute and proceed with an appropriate legal action for such clarification and/or removal. 

            Dated this 7th day of November, 2023.

ELECTION PRECINCT BOUNDARY BRIEFING

            Leah Anderson, Auditor, presented a briefing regarding the proposed election precinct boundary changes for 2024. In the fall of 2021, the South Dakota Legislature finalized the new boundaries for the Legislative District changes based on the 2020 Census. There was not sufficient time for the Auditor's Office to make the necessary changes to precinct boundaries related to the Legislative District changes for the 2022 election cycle. For 2022, there were 19 precincts with multiple legislative districts, which caused some confusion at polling locations. In addition, due to the growth in certain areas of the county, some precincts experienced unusually long wait times for voting. The Auditor's Office along with the Planning & Zoning Staff and other municipalities have been reviewing the issues and creating ideas to restructure the precinct boundaries to take effect in 2024. The priorities in changing precinct boundaries are to reduce wait times and minimize the number of precincts with multiple legislative districts. The proposed changes would reduce the number of multiple legislative district precincts from 19 to 3 while increasing the number of precincts from 75 to 81.

ALCOHOL LICENSE COMPLIANCE

            Kym Christiansen, Commission Recorder, gave a briefing on a recent alcohol compliance check failure. The Minnehaha County Sheriff's Office conducted a compliance check of 43 alcohol beverage licenses in November 2023. Of the two failing licenses, one of them, Safari Bar and Grill d/b/a Safari Bar and Grill is licensed by Minnehaha County. The Safari Bar and Grill LLC d/b/a Safari Bar and Grill did have a violation on November 16, 2021 and no other violations have been recorded by the Sheriff's Office going back to 2015. A public hearing for the failing license will be required for the next renewal. Additionally, the South Dakota Department of Revenue may impose monetary penalties on the affected license. Josh Phillips, Sheriff's Office Captain, explained how the South Dakota Department of Revenue handles the monetary penalties on the affected license.

ALCOHOL LICENSE

            Kym Christiansen, Commission Recorder, presented the liquor and wine license renewal applications for the 2024 licensing year. The applications were reviewed by the State's Attorney's Office, the Sheriff's Office, and the Planning & Zoning Department. There were no violations, objections, or concerns reported.
