ABERDEEN CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
October 20 , 2020
The City Planning Commission was called to order by Chairman Dean Marske. Members
present at roll call were Lien, Woodward, Mettler, and Marske. Absent were Cogley,
Schumacher, and Mitchell. Also present were Brett Bill, Planning & Zoning Director, and
Eric Miller, City Planner.
Woodward moved and Lien seconded to approve the Aberdeen City minutes of September
15, 2020, 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) Permission to paint a new super graphic sign in a Central Business/Special Density
Residential District for property described as “Lot 1, Malchow’s First Addition to the
City of Aberdeen in the SW ¼ of Section 13, T123N-R64W of the 5th P.M., Brown
County, South Dakota,” (a.k.a. 506 Main St S) was submitted by Aberdeen
Development Corporation & Colorful Creations/Carly Pochop. Eric Miller stated that
the petitioners are resubmitting their request to have a super graphic sign painted
by artist Kelsey Montague at a different location than was approved at the
September 15, 2020 City Planning Commission meeting. The new location is on
the north side of the Malchow Plaza building facing the open courtyard area. This
mural does not advertise the business and its value is purely artistic in nature;
therefore, it is classified as a super graphic and requires City Planning Commission
approval. This project was approved by the Aberdeen City Council at their
September 28th meeting. Following discussion Mettler moved and Woodward
seconded to approve with the stipulations that a sign permit is obtained for the
project and the super graphic sign is maintained in accordance with City Ordinance.
2) A preliminary and final plat described as “Holmes’ Replat of Lots 3 & 4, Block 27,
Hagerty & Lloyd’s Addition to Aberdeen, in the NE ¼ of Section 13-T123N-R64W of
the 5th P.M., Brown County, South Dakota,” (a.k.a. 417 Penn St N) was submitted
by Christopher Holmes. Eric Miller stated that the petitioner is requesting this
preliminary and final plat in order to combine two underlying lots into one to allow for
future construction of a detached garage. At their September 15, 2020 meeting, the
Aberdeen Board of Zoning Adjustment approved the petitioner’s request to
construct a 768 square foot garage rather than the maximum allowable size of 600
square feet with the stipulation that the property is replatted into one lot. Following
discussion Woodward moved and Mettler seconded to approve, all members voting
aye, the motion carried.
There being no further business before the Commission, Mettler moved and Lien seconded
to adjourn the meeting, all members voting aye, the motion carried.
