Council Special Session
April 2, 2018
Monday 12:00 noon
The special session of the City Council, City of Vermillion, South
Dakota was held on Monday, April 2, 2018 at 12:00 noon at the City Hall
large conference room.
1. Roll Call
Present: Collier-Wise, Erickson (arrived at 12:05 p.m.), Holland,
Humphrey, Price, Sorensen, Ward, Mayor Powell
Absent: Meins
2. Educational Item – Human Rights Commission – Addison McCauley
Addison McCauley, Administrative Intern, reported that this is a follow
up on the Human Rights Commission discussion held earlier this year.
Addison proposed the creation of a Vermillion Human Rights Commission
(VHRC) by ordinance. Addison reviewed a proposed Mission Statement for
the VHRC.
Alderman Erickson arrived at 12:05 p.m.
Addison reviewed the benefits of a Human Rights Commission, noting it
is in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan. Addison reviewed items to
keep in mind which were received from conciliation specialists from the
Community Relations Service of the Department of U.S.D.O.J. Addison
reported on possible policies for the VHRC as well as options for
alternative dispute resolution procedures. Addison stated that it is
recommended that there be liaisons from the City Administration and the
Police Department to the VHRC, but noted that the liaison does not need
to be in ordinance. Addison stated that the next step would be for the
City Council to provide direction on what to include in a VHRC
ordinance, which can be prepared for Council consideration. Discussion
followed on the Human Rights Commission with Addison answering
questions. The consensus of the City Council was to have the Policies
and Procedures Committee review and bring back a recommendation.
3. Informational Item – State law changes to alcohol licensing – Mike
Carlson
Mike Carlson, Finance Officer, reported that there were extensive
revisions to the alcoholic beverage laws during the 2018 Legislative
Session. Mike reported that the off sale malt beverage with South
1
Dakota Farm wine license, off sale malt beverage license and on-off
sale malt beverage license with South Dakota farm wine licenses will no
longer be available to be issued after June 30, 2018. These licenses
will be replaced by the new on-off sale malt beverage license that has
been broadened to include on-off sale South Dakota farm wine. In
reviewing the licenses issued by the City, there are six off sale malt
beverage licenses and two off sale malt beverage with South Dakota farm
wine licenses that will now need the new on-off sale malt beverage
license and some that were obtained for video lottery will no longer be
needed. The new statutes made the hours of operations the same for all
licenses at 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. every day of the year. The new
statute removed the restriction for liquor sales on Christmas Day.
Mike noted the City can, by ordinance, restrict the days or hours of
sales to be more restrictive than state statute. Mike noted that in
reviewing our current ordinance we restrict the hours of Sunday sales
on the special full service restaurant on sale liquor license to 11:00
a.m. to midnight, noting that none of these licenses have been issued.
Mike stated the city ordinance matched the old state statute that
restricted liquor sales only on Christmas Day but not on the malt
beverage or wine licenses. Mike stated that the new legislation also
made changes to the special full service restaurant on sale liquor
license that we will need to be updated by December 2018. Mike noted
that the SDML is reviewing this change and will be providing direction
on ordinance revisions. Mike stated that he has included a draft of the
ordinance to update the sections, except for the special full service
restaurant license. Mike asked for direction on the hours and Christmas
Day. Discussion followed with the consensus of the City Council to have
the times be consistent for all licenses and not include Christmas Day
as an exception with staff to draft an ordinance with these changes.

6. Public Hearings
A. Consideration of an application submitted by Carson and Courtney
Merkwan for a variance reducing the minimum rear yard setback from 25-
feet to 2-feet for the property located at 221 E. Main Street
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that the location of the
property is at 221 E. Main Street which was built in 1925 as a
fraternity. Jose noted that the house has three floors with 20
bedrooms. Jose stated the City adopted a new zoning ordinance in 2008.
Jose reported the property is now located in the R-1 Residential
District and that fraternity and sorority houses are not an allowable
use within this district. Jose reported that as to the house existed
prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance in 2008, the use was
grandfathered in. Jose stated that, when the use of a property is
grandfathered, the use is allowed to continue as is as long as the use
is not interrupted for longer than one year. Jose reported that the
property in question was used as a fraternity until May 2014 when the
use was allowed to expire by a previous owner. Jose reported that, at
the March 26, 2018 meeting, the Planning Commission approved the
applicant’s request for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a bed-and-
breakfast on the property with the only condition placed on the use was
that if a commercial size refuse bin was required the owner construct a
trash enclosure. Jose stated that the applicant wants to construct a
two-stall garage on the property and is requesting that the rear yard
setback requirement be reduced from 25-feet to 2-feet so that a garage
meeting the applicant’s criteria can be built. Jose stated that Section
155.100 of the City’s Code of Ordinance allows for the City Council,
acting as the Board of Adjustment, to hear and decide upon petitions
for variances relating to the strict application of height, area,
4
setback, yard, parking or density requirements. Jose reviewed the
criteria to be considered when granting a variance. Jose stated that
the applicants have also asked the City to vacate the alley adjacent to
their property. Jose noted that the applicant is looking to vacate the
alley to have more room to place the garage. Jose reported that, at
this time, the City has not received a petition from the applicant for
the alley vacation. Jose stated that, due to the number of variables
that the possible vacation adds to the variance being requested, Staff
recommends to make the variance void if the alley is vacated. Jose
stated that this would mean that if the variance is granted and the
applicant constructs a garage prior to the vacation the garage would be
grandfathered in as non-conforming and if the applicant has not
constructed the garage prior to the vacation of the alley then he would
be able to construct the garage as required by the ordinance, 4-feet
from the property line and at least 10-feet from the house. Jose
reported that the applicant also provided the Board of Adjustments with
additional information pertaining to their wishes for the property,
which has been included in the packet. Jose noted that in the document
there are a few items that they would like to vary (e.g. increase the
number of rooms, decrease in rear yard setback, allow a licensed
commercial kitchen, number and size of signage, and allowing sales
inside of home). Jose stated that, with the exception of the increase
in the number of rooms (that is next on the agenda)and the decrease in
the rear yard setback, the other items are handled by Staff based on
what is allowed in the Code of Ordinance and if the applicant does not
agree with Staff’s decision, they will be able to approach the City
Council acting as the Board of Appeals. Jose reported that
Administration believes that the variance should be granted considering
that the uniqueness of the structure when being used as a single-family
home provide several challenges that most single-family homes do not
encounter, but recommends the following conditions be placed on the
variance: 1) That if the alley is vacated the variance becomes void and
that the applicant’s garage, if built, is grandfathered in and made
non-conforming. If the garage has not been constructed when the alley
is vacated the applicant would have to build the garage as required by
ordinance, 4-feet from the property line and at least 10-feet from the
house. 2) That the building official set the rear yard setback during
the building permit review. At no point could the rear yard setback be
less than 2-feet from the property line. This would allow the applicant
and Staff to work together and arrive at the minimum variance that
would alleviate the hardship without completely eliminating the
setback. Jose reported that City code requires that a public hearing be
held on this item and a concurring vote of 2/3 of the members of the
City Council shall be necessary to approve a variance.
Linda Warren, resident of 118 N Plum, stated that she is associated
with an adjoining property and questioned the undue hardship being
5
alleviated by the variance and would fire protection be impacted by
vacating the alley.
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, noted the uniqueness of the structure as
a single family dwelling provides several challenges that most single
family dwellings do not encounter and as was stated earlier the City
has not received a petition to vacate the alley but noted that there is
a fire hydrant at the corner of Main and Harvard Streets.
Carson and Courtney Merkwan provided a drawing of the proposed garage
located on the south side of the property as well as showing the five
off street parking spaces. Carson stated that the garage is needed to
store vehicles as well as lawn equipment and other bed-and-breakfast
equipment. Carson noted that he would like to vacate the alley but
stated that he has not contacted all the adjoining property owners yet.
Discussion followed on the variance request and how it would be
impacted if the alley were vacated.
89-18
Alderman Erickson moved approval of the variance reducing the minimum
rear yard setback from 25-feet to 2-feet for the property located at
221 E. Main Street with the following two conditions: 1) That if the
alley is vacated the variance becomes void and that the applicant’s
garage, if built, is grandfathered in and made non-conforming. If the
garage has not been constructed when the alley is vacated the applicant
would have to build the garage as required by ordinance, 4-feet from
the property line and at least 10-feet from the house. 2) That the
building official set the rear yard setback during the building permit
review. At no point could the rear yard setback by less than 2-feet
from the property line. Alderman Collier-Wise seconded the motion.
Discussion followed. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Powell declared the
motion adopted.
B. Consideration of an application submitted by Carson and Courtney
Merkwan for a variance increasing the number of bedrooms from four to
five for a bed-and-breakfast located at 221 E. Main Street
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that this variance request is
to increase the number of bedrooms from four to five for a bed-and-
breakfast located at 221 E. Main Street, the property discussed in the
previous agenda item. Jose reported that a bed-and-breakfast is a
conditional use within the R-1 Residential District, which the Planning
Commission approved on March 26 for a four-bedroom bed-and-breakfast.
Jose noted that this is the maximum number of bedrooms set by section
155.080 of the City’s Code of Ordinances. Jose reported that the
applicant is asking the Board of Adjustment to increase the number to
6
five bedrooms based on the definition for ‘bed and breakfast
establishment’ set by the State of South Dakota under Administrative
Rule number 44:02:06:01. Jose noted that this rule defines a bed and
breakfast as having no more than five rental units. Jose reported that
Section 155.100 of the City’s Code of Ordinance allows for the City
Council, acting as the Board of Adjustment, to hear and decide upon
petitions for variances relating to the strict application of height,
area, setback, yard, parking or density requirements. Jose reviewed the
criteria to be considered when granting a variance. Jose reported that
Staff believes that the variance should not be granted due to the fact
that there is no true hardship being rectified. Jose stated that the
building’s use as a bed-and-breakfast was already approved by the
City’s Planning Commission at their March 26, 2018 meeting. Jose noted
that the Board should remember that the primary use of the property is
that of a single-family residence and not of a business. Jose reported
that the ordinance allows for the use as a bed-and-breakfast, but this
is secondary to the residential use.
Aaron Kerkhove, 319 W Dartmouth, asked why the number of bedrooms was
limited to four when the state is five. Jose reported that when the
City Council adopted the ordinance it was set at four.
Carson and Courtney Merkwan reviewed projected financial statements for
the bed-and-breakfast that need the five bedrooms to show a profit.
Carson requested consideration of the variance for five units to make
the project profitable.
Andrea Ronning, realtor with Maloney Real Estate, reported that the
property sale is contingent upon the approval of the variance from four
to five bedrooms for the bed-and-breakfast. Andrea requested approval
of the variance request.
Chris O’Connor, realtor with Dakota Real Estate, stated that the
property has been on the market for three years noting that there is
not a demand for a twenty bedroom single-family dwelling. Chris asked
for City Council approval of the variance increasing the bedrooms for
the bed-and-breakfast from four to five.
Discussion followed noting that this is a unique property which is why
the request for a variance.
90-18
Alderman Collier-Wise moved approval of a variance increasing the
number of bedrooms from four to five for a bed-and-breakfast located at
221 E. Main Street. Alderman Ward seconded the motion. Discussion
followed on the number of bedrooms contained in the ordinance. Motion
carried 9 to 0. Mayor Powell declared the motion adopted.

7. Old Business - None
8. New Business
A. Permit for consumption but not sale of alcoholic beverage on public
property for Vermillion Public Library Books & Brews at 18 Church
Street on June 9, July 13, and August 17, 2018
Mike Carlson, Finance Officer, reported that Rachelle Langdon, on
behalf of the Vermillion Public Library, has requested a permit to
consume alcoholic beverages on public property for “Books & Brew”
events at the Edith B. Siegrist Vermillion Public Library garden behind
the library from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on June 9, July 13, and August
17, 2018. Mike noted that, if the weather does not cooperate, the event
would be held in the Kozak Room. Mike stated that a copy of the request
is included in the packet. Mike noted that the City Council previously
approved a consumption request for these events in 2017 with no
incidents reported. Mike reported that state statute provides that the
Governing Body of a municipality may permit the consumption, but not
sale, of any alcoholic beverage on property owned by the public.
91-18
Alderman Erickson moved approval of the permit for consumption but not
sale on public property for the “Books & Brew” events at the Edith B.
Siegrist Vermillion Public Library garden behind the Library or the
Kozak Room from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on June 9, July 13, and August
17, 2018. Alderman Humphrey seconded the motion. Motion carried 9 to 0.
Mayor Powell declared the motion adopted.
B. Permit for consumption of alcohol in the Cafe Brule Furniture Zone
Use permit area (Market Street sidewalk as it abuts the building at 24
W. Main Street)
John Prescott, City Manager, reported that Jim Waters, on behalf of
Café Brule, Inc., has applied for a sidewalk furniture zone use permit
for Café Brule for six two-person tables on the Market Street side of
the restaurant. John stated that Administration has approved the use of
the sidewalk furniture zone use permit for food consumption, but the
request was to also include alcohol. John stated that City ordinance
provides that the City Council may permit the consumption of alcoholic
beverages within the furniture use zone. John stated that the ordinance
provides additional rules to governing alcoholic beverages in the
furniture zone, one of which is that the hours of operation for the
sale and consumption shall be 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. John noted that
the Police Chief has reported that there were no incidents in previous
years in this area. John reported that the application for furniture
zone use permit, alcohol sales plan and the diagram of the area are
8
included in the packet. John noted the in previous years the approval
included the condition that alcohol sales could not take place during
Dakota Days weekend in the Furniture Zone area. Discussion followed.
92-18
Alderman Collier-Wise moved approval of the sale and consumption of
alcoholic beverages in the Café Brule Furniture Zone Use permit area
during the hours outlined in the ordinance except to exclude the Dakota
Days weekend. Alderman Humphrey seconded the motion. Motion carried 9
to 0. Mayor Powell declared the motion adopted.
C. Request to temporarily remove some public parking spots from E. Main
Street, Center Street, and the public parking lot located on west side
of Center Street to allow for construction to continue at 2 East Main
Street
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that Puetz Corp., from
Mitchell, SD, on behalf of the VCDC is requesting to occupy several
parking stalls along Main Street, Center Street and at the City’s
Center Street parking lot. Jose stated that the stalls would be used to
store materials and equipment being used in the reconstruction of 2
East Main Street. Jose stated that Section 96.09 of the Code of
Ordinances allows the City Engineer to grant permission to any person
to store materials in the road adjacent to the lot, which a building is
being constructed for a period up to 6-months. Jose reported that Staff
granted permission to the applicant to use the above-mentioned areas
for storage of materials and equipment from October 16, 2017 to March
16, 2018 (or five months). Jose noted at that time it was agreed that
if any additional time was needed the applicant would be making a
formal request to the City Council for the additional time required.
Jose reported that Puetz Corp has formally requested that the City
Council extend the deadline from March 16 to August 23, 2018 (five
additional months). Jose stated that the extension request is due to
unforeseen structural issues that have added to the scope of the
project and also increased the time required for approval of changes.
Jose stated that the applicant is asking for 6 spaces on Center Street,
4 spaces on East Main Street and 6 spaces in the Center Street parking
lot.
93-18
Alderman Ward moved approval of the extension request to temporarily
remove some public parking spots from E. Main Street, Center Street,
and the public parking lot located on west side of Center Street as
presented to allow for construction to continue at 2 East Main Street
until August 23, 2018. Alderman Price seconded the motion. Motion
carried 9 to 0.

D. Explanation of Possible Downtown Business Improvement District
Jake Losinski, Assistant to the City Manager, reported that city staff
has been working with the Downtown Streetscape Improvement Committee to
formulate a final proposal for presentation to the City Council and
Community. Jake reported the Committee has been using the 2016
Vermillion Downtown Streetscape Master Plan as a guide for the project.
Jake stated at this time, the current Committee has reached a consensus
of a general recommendation for the project. Jake reported as part of
the 2018 budget, the City Council allocated $1 million towards the
Downtown project, knowing the amount would not cover the entire cost of
the project. Jake stated that staff was directed to explore additional
funding possibilities. Jake reported the recommendation to the City
Council is to take the steps necessary to create a Downtown Business
Improvement District that will allow for an assessment to property
owners to pay for a portion of the project. Jake reviewed the process
to create a Downtown Business Improvement District that would include
the appointment of a board to study the needs and make a recommendation
to the City Council. Discussion followed. Jake noted the first step
would be to adopt a resolution establishing boundaries for a proposed
district through resolution that he proposed for next council meeting.
Discussion followed with Jake noting the total project cost was just an
estimate and the amount of assessments would be a recommendation from
the board to the City Council.
