PRELIMINARY PLAN PUBLIC HEARING
Kevin Hoekman, Planner, was present for the public hearing regarding the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Evermore Estates Addition located in Section 21-T104N-R49W in Dell Rapids Township. The landowner of the subject properties involved in the proposed subdivision is Jokers LLC. The proposed plan is for the development of twelve residential lots, approximately 4.5 to 10.50 acres in size located east of Dell Rapids. The property is currently zoned as A1-Agricultural and the development will use transferred building eligibilities to allow for the planned residential development. The plan includes private roads with one extending through the development from Jasper Street to 478th Ave and the other is a cul-de-sac reaching the farthest west lots. The applicant has provided all the required information for a Preliminary Plan, including detailed topographic information, typical cross-section for road construction, a grading and drainage plan, and an erosion control plan. The entire subdivision will utilize on-site wastewater disposal systems and each system will be designed according to the soil capacity and residential size for each property. The connecting roads are hard surfaced and maintained by the Minnehaha County Highway Department and, since the subdivision is accessed from a hard surfaced road, all internal subdivision roads will also be hard surfaced. The applicant will need to work with the Highway Department for access permits and any traffic impacts. Prior to a final plat being approved, the applicant shall either construct the roads in each phase to the County's road standards or post surety in an amount to cover the construction. The applicant will also be required to provide road signs that meet all County addressing criteria and these signs must be obtained from the County Highway Department. The Minnehaha County Planning Commission reviewed the preliminary plan on September 23, 2024, and unanimously recommended approval.
Chair Karsky asked the proponents and opponents to speak on the topic. Riley Rinehart spoke in favor on the preliminary plan and there were no opponents to speak on the topic.
MOTION by Kippley, seconded by Beninga, to Approve the Preliminary Plan #24-01 for Evermore Estates Addition in Section 12-T104N-R49W. By roll call vote: 5 ayes.

The South Dakota Department of Public Safety has announced a funding opportunity for Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funds to be awarded to the City, County, and Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies. The funding originates from the Federal Government, and is a pass through the State of South Dakota to local law enforcement agencies to provide technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, and contractual support, and information for criminal justice purposes. There is a total of $885,784 available to be awarded with applicants being allowed to apply for up to $30,000. There is no match required and requests for funding should be limited to one-time projects. If authorized, the Minnehaha County Sheriff's Office plans to submit an application to be used for in-car video camera systems in the Warrant Task Force vehicles. These vehicles are utilized to locate and apprehend wanted fugitives. By having high video capabilities allows the deputies to effectively document the encounters and also provide court-accepted evidence for any resulting criminal prosecutions. The camera equipment is compatible with our existing digital evidence platform in other patrol vehicles, which will provide a seamless addition to our current practices. MOTION by Beninga, seconded by Kippley, to Authorize the Sheriff's Office to Apply for the Justice Assistance Grant Program through the Department of Public Safety. By roll call vote: 5 ayes.
