Title These regulations shall be referred to as the 2011 Revised Subdivision Ordinance for the City of Tea. Section 103. Jurisdiction These subdivision regulations shall apply to all subdivisions of land located within the City and within the unincorporated area identified by the Major Street Plan in accordance with platting jurisdiction statute of SDCL § 11-6-26 SDCL. Section 202. Overview of Approval Process Proposed subdivision development plans must be approved by the City in accordance with the following procedures which include four principal steps. Step 1: Initial Development Plan (with an annexation petition or in preparation for preliminary subdivision plan) See Sample Pre-Annexation Agreement (Section 1404) Review by Zoning Administrator, Utilities Superintendents, City Engineer, Planning Commission, and City Council Approval by None Step 2: Preliminary Plan (in coordination with rezoning) Review by Zoning Administrator, Utilities Superintendents and City Engineer, and Planning Commission Approval by Planning Commission and , City Council Step 3: Development’s Engineering Plans (in preparation for engineering construction plans) See Sample Developers Assurance Agreement (Section 1403) Review by Utilities Superintendent and City Engineer, Planning Commission Approval by City Engineer 1 Page 5 of 24  Step 4: Plat (before a building permit is approved) Review by Zoning Administrator and, City Engineer/Registered Land Surveyor Approval by Zoning Administrator Section 301. Submission The initial development plan is a process designed to help a developer save time and expense in preparing a preliminary plan and a plat. The advantage of an initial development plan is that City staff will provide important information upfront that may significantly affect lot and block layout and utility plans. It is recommended that at least some preliminary drainage engineering be completed during the initial development plan stage. The process works best when guided by a landscape architect or physical planner, collaborating with a civil engineer. The City encourages conservation subdivision planning as designated on the future land use plan and master park plan. All initial development plans for review shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator. The initial development plan should not be combined with any other plans unless approved by the City Engineer. A. Prior to the submission of the preliminary subdivision plan and, if needed, rezoning to the planning commission, the developer shall submit an initial development plan to the Zoning Administrator, which will also be routed to the City Engineer. City staff comments on the initial development plan shall be sent to the developer within 15 25 working days. The requirement for an initial development plan may be waived by the Zoning Administrator and City Engineer if access permits have been approved and it is a residential subdivision with less than ten acres or a nonresidential subdivision with less than five acres. A developer may choose to submit an initial development plan for comments that has all elements of a preliminary subdivision plan. Section 401. Submission A preliminary subdivision plan is a process designed to assist the developer and the City with the efficient and timely development of utilities to and throughout a development. Plans will be evaluated for compliance with the City’s comprehensive plan goals and policy framework, adopted master plans, and the capital improvement program. The preliminary subdivision plan should not be combined with any other plans unless approved by the City Engineer. Based on the initial development plan, the developer shall submit the preliminary subdivision plan to the Zoning Administrator. The application may be submitted five ten working days before the planning commission submittal deadline. 1. Within five ten working days of receipt of a subdivision application and fee, the Zoning Administrator will review the application to determine whether it contains all elements required by Section 401(A). 2 Page 6 of 24 Section 501. Development Engineering Plans The development engineering plan is a process designed to assist the developer and the City with the efficient and timely development of utilities and final lot and block layout to and throughout a development. Plans will be evaluated for compliance with the Engineering Design Standards and the capital improvement program. The Development Engineering Plan approval will be based upon the engineering feasibility of the development including the determination of more precise locations of all lots, blocks, and streets. The development engineering plans should not be combined with any other plans unless approved by the City Engineer. Following the approval of the preliminary subdivision plan, if the developer wishes to proceed, development engineering plans shall be submitted at the City Office for review and acceptance by the City Engineer. The development engineering plans shall encompass all land on the preliminary subdivision plan, be in compliance with conditions and approval requirements of the preliminary subdivision plan, and existing and proposed easements shown and dimensioned from property lines and utilities. The development engineering plans shall comply with the respective chapters within the adopted Engineering Design Standards. The final grading and drainage plan, the final utility plan, and the groundwater control plan shall be approved or disapproved within 15 working days after submittal to the City and final approval of a developer’s agreement. In addition, a final lot and block layout shall be approved by the City Engineer and Zoning Administrator as required by Table 1. If these plans are approved, the developer may then submit the plat(s) for approval. Table 1 Development Engineering Plan Lot and Block Layout Elements Criteria Boundary lines of floodways and, 100-year flood To ensure buildable lots zones delineated on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), and 100 foot buffer from floodplain boundary. Section 502. The Plat Platting is a process designed to assist the developer and the City to approve the appropriate features of a proposed subdivision and place them on file with the county register of deeds. Platting is required when land is divided into tracts for purpose of sale, transfer of ownership or in creating a new building site prior to issuance of a building permit, or connecting to City utilities. One signed mylar plat, two paper copies, one reduced 8.5 x 11 copy, and an An electronic PDF and DWG shall be submitted to the City Office for review and approval. Once approved one signed mylar plat and two paper copy shall be provided to the City. All copies shall be signed, sealed, and notarized. The plat should be drawn at a range of 1:20 to 1:400 from an accurate survey and on one or more sheets whose dimensions are as required by state law. If more than two sheets are required, an index sheet of the same dimension shall be attached and filed. The plat shall show the following information: J. The boundary lines of the floodway and 100-year flood zones, along with the base flood elevation on each lot as delineated on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). 3 Page 7 of 24  P. Existing building outlines to verify setbacks and lot area requirements and ensure current and proposed easements are clear of obstructions. Section 503. Plat Exhibit Requirement When a plat contains existing buildings, floodplain, or other criteria deemed appropriate by the Zoning Official, a plat exhibit is required to be provide along with the plat. The goal of the exhibit it to show how a property, building, access, floodplain requirements, and such will affect a property without placing these commonly changing details on a plat. The exhibit should follow the same exhibit requirements as the plat plus the following (as applicable): The outline and dimension from the building to the proposed lot boundary of any buildings A. within the plat. The outline of any legal parking and access within the plat. B. The boundary lines of the floodway and one percent change annual flood zones, along with the C. base flood elevation on each lot as delineated on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). The 100’ foot residential buffer area along the floodplain. D. Section 503504. Approval of the Plat The plat shall provide the information indicated in Section 502 [The Plat] and shall require the review and approval of the Zoning Administrator. The plat shall be in conformance with an approved final lot and block layout of the development engineering plan. Either all or a portion of the final lot and block layout of the development engineering plan may be platted. The plat shall be considered for approval only after the City Engineer has approved assurances as required by Article 13 from the developer fixing responsibility for the required improvements, or any revision thereof. If the plat is not approved by the Zoning Administrator within ten twenty-five (1025) business days of submittal, the plat shall be presented to the City Council for action. A plat shall be considered submitted when it has been filed with the Zoning Administrator. Approval of any plat shall be contingent upon the plat being recorded within 120 days after the certificate of approval is signed by the Finance Officer. Section 704. Streets System F. Private streets or roads; places. Private roads may be allowed when serving a limited number of parcels, if right-of-way constraints exist, and when all maintenance responsibilities are detailed within the easement. Private roads should be designed to match public roadway standards for construction, sidewalks, and driveway access. Any deviation from standards must be reviewed by City staff and approved by City Council.. J. Street naming criteria. Parkway: A lLimited access roads running north and south, such as major a streets which are divided by a median. Boulevard: A limited access roads running east and west, such as a streets which are divided by a median.A minor street divided by a median. 4 Page 8 of 24 Section 803. Public Open Space Where increased demands on parks or recreation areas will occur as a result of the applicant's proposed residential subdivision or development, the City may requires a applicant to dedicate public open space within the proposed subdivision or development fee applicable to residential development and dwelling units and shall dedicate based on the needs within the community, or pay a public open space dedication fee in lieu of dedication. Total area of dedications shouldshall be no less than five (5) percent of the total subdivision (excluding all right-of-way) and at lease forty (40) acres. be computed on the basis of three hundred dollars ($300.00) per dwelling unit. The land proposed by the applicant for dedication must be suitable and acceptable to the City for the use or activity identified. For any proposals fewer than 40 acres or otherwise deemed not suitable and acceptable to the City, the developer shall be required to pay the applicable public open space fee in lieu of dedication. In lieu of a public open space dedication, the applicant may pay a fee. The fee amount is based on the development location from future parks locations. For locations with future parks shown on their land the fee is three (3) times the value of the required land area dedication. Locations that do not show future parks on their land the fee is one and one half (1.5) times the value of the required land area dedication. See Tea comprehensive plan Figure 6.1 for more details on future park locations.In lieu of the a public open space Commented [A1]: New language changing multiplier fee, the applicant may dedicate one . The value of the required land area dedication shall be determined based on distance from planned park locations. using the average value per acre or square foot of the entire development, including all phases of development, as as determined by a certifiedn appraisal. The appraisal shall be paid for by the applicant, the land value will be the average of the value of the entire development (all phases), and be is valid for one (1) year. before payment must be submitted to the City. one (1) acre for each 75 proposed dwelling units within the proposed development for open space for park, multi-purpose trails or recreation purposes. Public open space fee payment shall be paid prior to the one (1) year expiration of the certified appraisal, after approval of preliminary plans, and before any final plats, or as otherwise agreed upon in the development agreement. Public open space fee payments shall be deposited in the City’s park development fund and used solely for the purchase of park land and development of same. The open space land dedication shall be made by filing of the final plat prior to thirty-five (35) percent of the development being platted, unless additional dedication is required subsequent to the filing of the final plat. If the actual number of acres of the platted development exceed the figure upon which the original dedication area calculation was based, additional dedication shall be required to conform with the requirements herein or payment of the public open space fee in lieu of dedication calculated using the difference between the required land area dedication and the actual dedication area.The land that is proposed by the applicant for dedication must be suitable and acceptable to the City for the use or activity that is identified. The City Council declares that development of an area smaller than two (2) acres for public park purposes is impractical. Therefore, if fewer than 40 acres 150 units are proposed by a plat filed for approval, the developer shall be required to pay the applicable public open space fee. The public open space fee dedication or fee requirement shall not apply to developments of five two (25) acresdwelling units or less, unless such development is a phase, section or part of a development plan that will include more than five two (25) lots acres when completed, or to developments as approved to be declared exempt by the City Council. Public open space fee payment shall occur at the time of plattingwithin one (1) year of the land appraisal, after approval of preliminary plans, and before any final plants or as agreed upon in the development agreement. Public open space fee payments shall be deposited in the City’s park development fund and used solely for the purchase of park land and development of same. The open space land dedication in lieu of the public open space fee required by this Section shall be made by filing of the final plat prior to thirty- five (35) percent of the development being platted unless additional dedication is required subsequent to the filing of the final plat. If the actual number of completed acres dwelling units exceed the figure upon which the original dedication was based, such additional dedication shall be required, and shall be made by 5 Page 9 of 24 payment of the public open space fee of land amount or by conveyance of an appropriate amount of land to the City. Where a proposed park, recreation or other public area which is shown on the Comprehensive Plan is located in whole or in part in a residential development, the City Council may require the dedication or reservation of such area within the proposed development for public purposes. Where private open space for park and recreation purposes is provided in a proposed subdivision, such areas shall not be used for credit towards the requirement of dedication for park and recreation purposes, unless the City Council finds it is in the public interest to do so. The City, upon consideration of the particular type of development, may require that a lesser parcel of land be dedicated due to particular features of the development. In such cases, a public open space fee contribution shall be required above the land dedication to insureensure that compensation is received for the full amount of the impact on the City’s park and trail system. Property being replatted within the same development acres number of lots and same number of dwellings units shall be exempt from all public open space fee requirements. If the number of lots or the number of dwelling units is increased, or if land outside the previously recorded plat is added, then the public open space fee and/or public open space land dedication shall be based on the additional lots and on the additional land being added to the plat. Wetlands, ponding areas, and drainageways, accepted by the City, may not be considered in the public open space fee and/or land dedication to the City but in some situations may be allowed to be excluded from the applicable acres for the dedication calculation. The applicant shall confer with City Staff at the time the Initial Development Plan is under consideration, to secure a recommendation as to the location of any property that should be dedicated to the public, such as parks, playgrounds or other public property. The public open space fee may be adjusted by resolution of the Tea City Council. Section 902. Drainage Plan A. Existing and proposed contour lines and the surface water drainage system, including any major alteration of the existing drainage pattern. Drainage ways and detention ponds shall be designed for a 100-year storm occurrence. The contour interval shall be of such detail that the final drainage pattern is adequately illustrated. Major drainage ways which are a designated part of the major drainage system may have sufficient land area dedicated to the City. The area to be dedicated may include the entire area which would be inundated by the 100-year design storm. The City may requires an additional 30 feet on each side of said drainage way for maintenance and access. B. Detention pond sites which are designated parts of the major drainage system shall have sufficient land area dedicated to the City. The area to be dedicated shall include the entire area which would be inundated by the 100-year design storm. The City may also requires an additional 30 feet on the perimeter of the pond site in order to provide for maintenance and access. The boundaries of all drainage easements and detention ponds shall also be indicated on the plat. The maintenance agreement for the upkeep of the detention ponds, in form and manner acceptable to the City, shall be filed with the plat. D. The City of Tea requires that detention be implemented to reduce the potential of increasing runoff. Post-development peak runoff rates shall be limited to Pre-development peak flow rates for a 5-year and 100-year event as calculated based on guidance in the City of Tea Engineering Design Standards or generally accepted procedures in this area. The City of Tea Engineer has final approval on drainage design techniques and the use of coefficients if they differ from the 6 Page 10 of 24  design standards. The City of Tea’s completed Storm Water Drainage Master Plan provides general guidance of existing flows and potential developed flows for the purposes of reviewing regional detention. Section 903. Design Standards All drainage facilities including storm sewers, on-site detention, drainageways, detention ponds, and drainage channels shall be designed in compliance with Chapter 11 of the currently approved Engineering Design Standards and are subject to approval of the City Engineer. Section 1206. Sanitary Sewers In areas where public sanitary sewers are not accessible and no plans for public sewers have been prepared, or where the connection to public sanitary sewer is impractical, individual sewer systems will be permitted provided the lot layout areis designed for future conversion to public sanitary sewers and they the individual sewer system compliesy with the regulations set forth for holding tanks by the appropriate state agency and any additional county requirements.

These standards are typically updated periodically as needs arise, the last update was effective on December 1, 2011. The current need arose after a review of the parks open space dedication requirements. It was determined that the current regulations set the money in lieu payment amount at a rate that no longer reflected the value of land that could be turned into parks. As such it was much cheaper for developers to simply pay the fee than donate land. And use of the money collected for parks by this in leu payment likely wouldn’t be enough to fulfill the intended purpose of creating or improving parks within the community. City staff (Engineering, Planning, and Utilities) met and selected portions of the regulations that are recommended to be looked at during this amendment. Additional changes to the ordinance are being proposed at this time as well. Here’s a breakdown of the significant changes proposed: 1. Section 202, update Development Engineering Plans review groups from City Engineer and Planning Commission to Utilities Superintendent and City Engineer. The goal here is since DEP’s should follow the approved preliminary plan Planning Commission should have already seen the big picture items for a development, but by including utilities in the review issues can hopefully be caught that can have big impacts on staff time during the life the development. 2. Sections 301, add requirement that by default the initial development plans should not be combined with other plans AND increase staff comment period from 15 working days to 25 working days. The goal here is have plans submitted in a way that allows for easier review of each step in the development process. The update the timeline is needed based on past review timelines for reviews. 3. Sections 401, add requirement that by default the preliminary subdivision plans should not be combined with other plans AND increase staff comment period from 5 working days to 10 working days. The goal here is have plans submitted in a way that allows for easier review of each step in the development process. The update the timeline is needed based on past review timelines for reviews. Page 12 of 24 4. Sections 501, add requirement that by default the development engineering plans should not be combined with other plans AND add a requirement of developer’s agreement final approval prior to the 15 working day review starting AND add 100-foot floodplain buffer added to DEP elements. The goal here is have plans submitted in a way that allows for easier review of each step in the development process. Adding the agreement requirement is meant to help make sure major details have officially been agreed to before work starts. Since there are specific regulations related to the 100-foot floodplain buffer area showing them early on plans will help everyone to understand specific restrictions early on. 5. Sections 502, amended requirements for plat review to start as a PDF or DWG file and then once approved submit one mylar and two paper copies. submittal to better match current platting process AND remove requirement for floodplain FIRM and existing buildings to be shown on plats. The reason for this change is to match current practice and reduce unnecessary paper copies and to allow surveyors not to have to include details on the official plats which they have argued for years often change too often compared to the real intended purpose of plats for identifying property boundaries. 6. Sections 503, new section added to require a plat exhibit to show things on properties that impact the immediate approval review, such as existing buildings, floodplain boundaries, parking, and buffer areas The goal here is while these items were removed from plats, an exhibit showing them helps the review determine if the plat will cause any zoning or building code issues that need to be addressed before approval of the plat and this way the details don’t need to be on file with the register of deeds for the life of the lot boundaries. 7. Sections 504, amended approval of the plat section from ten days to 25 business days. The goal here is to provide adequate review time so that plats can be approved administratively more often. Also clearly identifying the review period as business days rather than days clears up which days of the week count against the deadline. 8. Sections 704, amended private road regulations to require design to match public roadways for standards of construction, sidewalks, and driveway access. Any deviation needs to be reviewed by staff and approved by City Council. The definition of street types has been updated to reflect existing Heritage Parkway and Gateway Boulevard. The goal here is prepare future developments for the potential issues that can significantly impact them in the mid and long-term. Arguably, these requirements may make private streets more expensive to construct and maintain but based on some of the existing private streets within the community the ability for these areas to fall in disrepair and remain substandard is a significant risk that only increases in time with the addition of more private streets that are not property maintained, privately saved up for replacement, and other issues. In staff’s view, private roadway represent a major future issue that could cost the taxpayers tens of millions of dollars due to disrepair. Page 13 of 24 9. Sections 803, amended section for public open space by replacing the existing payment in lieu dedication amount of $300 per dwelling unit to either 1.5 or 3 times the value (based on future parks locations), determined by an appraisal within a year, of 5% of the overall development. Direct land dedication requirements are being proposed to be changed from one acre per 75 proposed dwelling units to a flat 5% of all land within the development (City can exempt out specific aeras such as wetlands, streets, etc.). The exemption level is proposed to change from five dwelling units to 2 acres. The goal here is to identify that any development can cause a demand increase on parks needs within the community and that developments change as they go from plans to reality but rarely does the overall size change. Setting the dedication amounts on something that’s less likely to change will lead to easier estimates on how much land is required to be dedicated or initial estimates on payment in lieu amounts. The change on payment amount from a fixed figure to something that matches the market should allow for this payment to change with the market and fulfill the goal of using these funds to build parks within the community. 10. Sections 902, amended to make 30 feet maintenance and access area on each side of drainage required instead of may be required. The goal here is to make sure drainage areas get enough space to be maintained in the long term. . 11. Sections 1206, amended to require rural subdivision lots to be laid out for future conversion to public sanitary sewer. The goal here is to make it so future conversion of rural areas can be as seamless as possible. 12. Sections 1404, amended to remove specific names from sample pre-annexation agreement signature lines. Page 14 of 24  The goal here is to make it so the examples are as accurate as possible in the future. In determining the best routes for dedication and payment in lieu City staff considered Clemmons, North Carolina; Harrisburg, South Dakota; Baraboo, Wisconsin; Dixon, California; and Rapid City, South Dakota. FINANCIAL IMPACT: City anticipated to generate more funds from parks payment in lieu fee. No other direct financial impacts are anticipated to the City. RECOMMENDATION: Planning Commission reviewed the draft on Tuesday, November 18, 2025 and recommended approval of the current draft. Staff recommends approval. STAFF REFERENCE(S): None.

Location: 1601 E. 1st Street Legal Description: West 370.42’ of the East 2,132.80’ of the North 823.17’ in the NE1/4 of 36-100-51 Lot Area: 12.75 acres Existing Land Use: Single-Family Dwelling Attachments: None City Council 1st Reading: December 15, 2025 Meetings: 2nd Reading: January 2, 2026 Site Description: • Site Zoning District: R-1: Single Family Residential District • Surrounding Zoning and Land Use: o North: R-1: Single Family Residential District o East: LI: Light Industrial o South: LI: Light Industrial o West: LI: Light Industrial • Physical Characteristics: The site is generally sloped from north to south, changing elevation around 20 feet. The site has an existing farmstead with multiple outbuildings. Land Use and Comprehensive Plan Analysis: The existing zoning districts abutting the rezoning portion of the property are Light Industrial and Single Family Residential. The proposed I-1 district matches properties on the south side of the road. The applicant currently owns the land abutting this property on the east, south, and west. The applicant has indicated future plans to clear the site and incorporate it into their existing land as they develop. The Tea 2050 Comprehensive Plan supports this rezone request and shows this area as Light Industrial / Business Park. East 1st Street acts as a collector street in this area that leads from the main commercial corridor to a industrial park with pre-existing single-family houses along the north side of the road that existing prior to annexation into the City of Tea. Ideally, more distance would be provided between land uses but given the existing single-family dwellings were built in close proximity to existing light industrial to the northeast this request seems reasonable, especially when considering that the existing I-1 lands on the south side of 1st Street in this area were approval since the area was annexed into the City a few years ago. Recommendation: Because the subject application is consistent with the intent of the comprehensive plan with regards to transitioning land uses, staff recommends approval of this rezone.

Zoning District Updates – Committee Meeting 11-20-25: The committee meet for the full two hours to talk about what they feel is important for the feel of the community. Some specific uses and standards were discussed. Next Steps: Staff will be reaching out to the Home Builders Association and some active community members for comments. After that formal public hearing and adoption. 2026 Permit Fee Schedule: After reaching out to builders on the residential review fee it became very apparent that there is some concern over administrative costs. Staff believes it’ll be better to take a slower adoption approach and use the extra time to review final 2025 expense and income for permitting while also trying to get comments from the Home Builders Association. It’s anticipated that any fee changes would come for public hearing in 2026 with an effective date of January 1, 2027.
