ZONING APPEALS
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 NW 1/4 (Ex. R-1 & Ex S1/2 NW1/4 & Ex. E17' W50') Section 35-T101N-R51W Wall Lake Township. The subject property is located approximately 4 miles west of Sioux Falls, at the intersection of 267th Street & 464th Avenue. The property owner is Pine Knoll, Inc and the petitioner is Muller Pallets. The petitioner is requesting to operate a tree grinding operation as a rubble dump site on the subject property. This request is largely the same as the petitioner's previous request earlier this year for the same property, but this request includes a site plan showing access to the site via 367th Street instead of 464th Avenue. This item was heard by the Planning Commission at the August 28, 2023 meeting. Several neighbors to the proposed operation, and other concerned citizens, were present at the meeting and stated their concerns about the operation. The items discussed included traffic issues, garbage along the road, and the potential for dust and noise nuisances. The Planning Commission voted to deny the proposed Rubble Dump Operation by a vote of 3 to 2. The main concern raised by the planning commission regarding traffic along 267th Street, and the proximity of this access to the existing landfill access.
Chair Bender asked for proponents and opponents to speak on the topic.
Paul Tschetter, proponent and representing the applicant, was present to ask for continuance to allow for the completion of the required traffic study.
Glenn Fuerstenberg spoke in opposition to the conditional use permit.
MOTION by Kippley, seconded by Beninga, to continue the public hearing and appeal of Minnehaha County Planning Commission to deny CUP #23-43 until November 7, 2023, pursuant to the request of the underlying applicant. By roll call vote: 4 ayes.
Kevin Hoekman, Planner, gave a briefing on an appeal of a decision by the Minnehaha County Planning Commission to approve conditional use permit #06-07 to allow a gun club/sportsman's club on the property described as Tract 1 in the NW 1/4 NW 1/4 and Tract 1 Garretson Gun Club Addition in the NW 1/4 all in Section 33-T103N-R47W. The club is located approximately 1.25 south of Garretson at 48605 255th Street. A neighboring property owner of the gun club raised concerns of ricochets from the gun club reaching his property. The Planning Commission held a review hearing on August 28, 2023, based on those concerns. The Garretson Sportsman's Club presented a report prepared by the NRA Range Technical Team which reviewed the conditions of the rifle ranges for safety. The report stated that due to the concrete construction, baffles and the use of closed-circuit cameras at each shooting position, projectile escapement from the rifle or pistol ranges is unlikely. The report also suggested that the club create a written maintenance, operations, safety and environmental plan. The Planning Commission reviewed the permit and range report, and the conditional use permit was preapproved with an added condition to write the suggested plans. The neighboring property owner submitted an appeal letter that provides a list of reasons for the appeal.
Chair Bender asked for proponents and opponents to speak on the topic.
Steve Bruce and Chuck Brown spoke in favor of the conditional use permit.
Dean Sands spoke in opposition of the conditional use permit.
MOTION by Kippley, seconded by Beninga, to affirm the decision of the Planning Commission to amend and approve a review of CUP #06-07 to allow a Gun Club/Sportsman's Club on the properties legal described as Tract 1 in the NW1/4 NW 1/4 and Tract 1 Garretson Gun Club Addition in the NW1/4 all in Section 33-T103N-R47W. By roll call vote: 4 ayes.
PRELIMINARY PLAT
Kevin Hoekman, Planner, presented a request for approval of preliminary plan #23-3 for the High Prairie Ranch Addition located in NW1/4 of Section 8-T102N-R49W, Mapleton Township. The property owner is Dorothy Rogness and the petitioner is David Rogness. The property is located approximately a mile and a half northeast of the Crooks/Renner Exit off Interstate 29 and located within the High Prairie Ranch Planned Development District. The preliminary subdivision plan is required to ensure the road and lots meet the subdivision ordinance. The proposal will create five tracts of land ranging in size from 1.7 acres to 2.8 acres. A new road is planned through the middle of the development with the name Arthur Lane. Haystack Place is an unimproved existing platted road. The Minnehaha County Planning Commission reviewed the preliminary plan during the August 28, 2023, meeting and unanimously recommended approval. MOTION by Beninga, seconded by Kippley, to approve preliminary plan #23-02 for High Prairie Ranch Addition in Section 9-T102N-R49W. 4 ayes.

Notice to Palisade Township Residents
South Dakota law Statutes 31-31-2 and 31-31-3 state that the township road right-of-way is to remain free of obstructions. The owner or occupant of any land abutting or adjoining upon township roads shall cut, remove, or destroy or cause to be cut, removed, or destroyed, grass, weeds, trees, crops, and brush growing on or in the right of way of such roads. A violation of this section is a petty offense.
The right of way of township roads extends thirty-three (33) feet from the centerline of each road. Any obstructions listed above present a safety hazard to the public should any vehicle go off the road into the ditch. Trees shall be removed at ground level and shall be done by October 31st. If this work is not attended to by the landowner or occupier, any Township Board shall have the right to hire the work done and assess the expense back against the landowner in the way of taxes against the property.
Snow removal: Palisade Township has ordinances against residents pushing snow onto, or across any township road.
Planting in the ditch: Crops next spring shall not be planted within the right of way; the township does have the authority to mow off such crops or ask the landowner or renter to do so.
Driveway permits: Driveway permits are required by all townships, please contact any supervisor with any questions.
Planting of new trees or shrubs: We wish to enforce the exact requirements of Minnehaha County that new trees or shrubs shall not be planted within 100 feet from the center of the road on the north and west sides of any road. This is because of prevailing winds and snow drifts from those directions in the winter. On the east and south sides, we still ask that any trees or shrubs be at least 15 feet inside the fence line for safe sight clearance.
Other obstructions: Be mindful that any objects you own shall never be allowed to remain within the right of way. Also, large bale piles or other such items stacked too close to the road can also create a snow hazard to the detriment of safe travel and township snow removal.
