Mayor Schaunaman opened a hearing on a petition from THE, LLC to rezone
property described as proposed Lot 1, Sixth & Washington SW Addition to the City of
Aberdeen in the NW ¼ of Section 24, T123N, R64W of the 5th P.M., Brown County, South
Dakota (120 and 124 Sixth Avenue, SE and 610 South Washington Street) from (C-3)
Central Business District/(R-4) Special Density Residential District and (R-3) High Density
Residential District to (C-3) Central Business District/(R-4) Special Density Residential
District. City Planning/Zoning Director Brett Bill explained that the reason for the rezoning
request is to eliminate the split zoning that was created as a result of the replatting of the
parcel. No one was present to testify in opposition to the rezoning request so Mayor
Schaunaman closed the hearing. Motion by Lunzman, second by Remily to approve first
reading of Ordinance No. 21-06-02 to rezone the property. Roll call vote to approve, all
voting aye, motion carried.
