6A
Agenda Section New Business Originating Dept: City Council
Ordinance Ordinance No. 19-07-03 Prepared by: City Attorney
No. of Attachments 3 Presented by: City Attorney
Item:
Possible 1st reading of ordinance prohibiting parking on a street within 5 feet of a driveway.
City Manager’s Proposed Action:
Motion by ___________ second by _________ to approve 1st reading of Ordinance No. 19-07-
03.
Overview:
The proposed revision to Sec. 52-223(e) creates a turning radius to allow vehicles to maneuver in
and out of driveways by prohibiting vehicle parking within 5 feet of where a driveway meets the
roadway. As has been the past practice with parking in front of driveways, this prohibition will
be enforced by the Aberdeen Police Department only upon a complaint or if the officer
encounters an obvious safety hazard.
Primary Issues/Alternatives to Consider:
Assuming an average vehicle length of 20 feet, the effect of the 5-foot turning radius will be to
reduce available parking on streets with a driveway that is within 30 feet of another driveway.
Budgetary/Fiscal Issues:
Attachments: 1. Ordinance No. 19-07-03
2. Drawing of radius encroachment
3. Aerial photos of sample driveways within Aberdeen

Item:
Possible 1st reading of ordinance regarding snow removal activities and operations.
City Manager’s Proposed Action:
Motion by ___________ second by _________ to approve 1st reading of Ordinance No. 19-07-
05.
Overview:
City snow removal operations are a matter of significant public interest to property owners,
pedestrians and motorists. The proposed revisions to Chapter 46 – STREETS, SIDEWALKS
AND OTHER PUBLIC PLACES, of the Aberdeen City Code seek to improve such operations.
The minor change at Sec. 46-8 makes it more clear that snow removal operations are part of
street maintenance. By law, the City is not legally responsible for damage to private property
placed in the right-of-way, like mailboxes, as a result of an inherently difficult governmental
function like snow and ice removal.
The revision to Sec. 46-337 affirms the general duty to keep the front sidewalk free of snow and
ice but moves Zone 1 (downtown business district) activities to the newly-amended Sec. 46-339.
The heading for Sec. 46-338 is amended to specifically state the 48-hour limitation.
Sec. 46-339 is revised by expanding the prohibition of shoveling from commercial property into
any street or public ground and expanding the prohibition to all property, with an exception to
allow the deposit of snow in the boulevard abutting the sidewalk. However, certain property
owners in Zone 1 are permitted to deposit their snow in the streets before the city plows go
through.
Finally, the new Sec. 46-339 is an effort to prohibit a person from depositing the snow from his
sidewalk onto his neighbor’s sidewalk. It also prohibits a person from blading a path in the street
for himself only to inadvertently block his neighbor’s driveway or hamper the City’s snow plows
in that area.

the snow or ice from the abutting sidewalk into the street during a snow emergency if deposited
prior to the city’s removal of snow from such street.
(c) In addition to any other penalties prescribed by this Code, the city may remove
any snow or ice deposited in violation of this section and assess the costs against the real

assessment to the county auditor’s office for collection.

street or alley or upon a sidewalk required to be cleared under this article.

Dear Mr. Krokel:
We opened bids for the above reverenced project on Thursday, June 27, 2019 and received the
following bids:
1. B & B Contracting, Inc. $4,740,028.92
2. Lien Transportation Co., Inc. $5,823,001.16
Both bids were over the current project budget and after corresponding with the FAA and SD-
DOT, there is insufficient Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Grant Funding for the project as
bid. Therefore, it is our “Engineer’s Recommendation” to reject both bids. We have received
guidance from the FAA to scale the project back and rebid the project.
We are currently working to provide you with a series of recommendations and updated cost
estimates to eliminate or make revisions to reduce the cost of the project. Some of these items
include but are not limited to:
1. Eliminate work on existing Taxiway C and Taxiway C2
2. Rework the Construction Safety Phasing Plan to utilize the airports lighted closing
X’s or use
3. Look at the closure timeframe for work within the Runway 13/31 RSA.
