Members present at roll call were Schumacher, Mitchell, Lien, Woodward, Marske, and Mettler. Cogley was absent. Also present were Brett Bill, Planning & Zoning Director, Ron Wager, City Attorney, Ken Hubbart, City Planner, Eric Miller, City Planner, and Paula Nelson, Planning Commission Secretary. Lien moved and Woodward seconded to approve the minutes of April 16, 2019, all members voting aye, the motion carried. OPEN FORUM – No one was present. There being no old business Chairman Marske began with new business as follows: 1) A petition to rezone from (C-1) Neighborhood Commercial District to (C-3) Central Business District for property described as “Lot 1, T. and S. Jones Consolidation Subdivision in Aberdeen, in the NW ¼ of Section 24, T123N- R64W of the 5th P.M., Brown County, South Dakota,” (a.k.a. 1122 Main St S) was submitted by Sarah Jones. Eric Miller stated that the petitioner is requesting this petition to rezone to bring the property into the Central Business District. The property’s current zoning district, (C-1) Neighborhood Commercial District, has setback requirements that would prohibit the construction of a usable structure at this location. Moving this property to the (C-3) Central Business District would lessen the setback constraints allowing for future commercial development. Following discussion Lien moved and Schumacher seconded to approve, all members voting aye, the motion carried. 2) A preliminary and final plat described as “Marnette First Subdivision to Aberdeen, in the SW ¼ of Section 6, T123N-R63W of the 5th P.M., Brown County, South Dakota,” (a.k.a. 909 & 913 29th Ave NE) was submitted by Paul & Karen Marnette. Eric Miller stated that the petitioners are requesting this preliminary and final plat in order to combine two previously platted lots into one legal parcel to allow for residential development. Following discussion Mitchell moved and Lien seconded to approve with the stipulation that one of the two water/sewer services is retired from service. Upon roll call, all members voting aye, the motion carried. 3) A preliminary and final plat described as “NSU-SDSBVI Addition to the City of Aberdeen, in the SE ¼ of Section 24, T123N-R64W of the 5th P.M., Brown County, South Dakota,” (a.k.a. 1300 Dakota St S) was submitted by the State of South Dakota.

This {00054007.DOC / 1} 1  Aberdeen City Planning Commission May 21, 2019 plat was also stipulated as a requirement when the City agreed to vacate a portion of 14th Avenue SE adjacent to the south of this property.

Upon roll call, all members voting aye, the motion carried. 6) A preliminary and final plat described as “Wylie Meadows First Addition to Aberdeen, in the NW ¼ of Section 11, T123N-R64W of the 5th P.M., Brown County, South Dakota,” (a.k.a. 1701 & 1719 Holiday Cir and 2002 Nineteenth St N) was submitted by Wylie Meadows, LLC.

Roby Johnson was present to represent the property. Eric Miller stated that the petitioner is submitting this petition to vacate a portion of public right-of-way with the intention of combining the right-of-way with the adjacent property. This section of 12th Ave NW was originally platted as a 100’ wide right-of-way with a 26’ boulevard in the center of the street. The center boulevard was never developed resulting in abnormally wide boulevards along the petitioner’s property.
