6. Public Hearings
A. Request for a variance to decrease the front yard setback from 30
feet to 0 feet for the construction of off-street parking at Hillside
Community Church, 1800 Constance Drive. (Legal description of Lots 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, and 5A, Block 5A, Westgate Addition, City of Vermillion, Clay
County, South Dakota).
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on a request for a front yard
setback variance from 30 feet to 0 feet. Jose noted the variance would
facilitate the use of the property as a church by allowing the owner to
increase the area that can be used for off-street parking. Jose noted
that Hillside Community Church made the request, and churches are a
permitted use in the R-1 Residential zoning district.
Jose stated the City Council, acting as the Board of Adjustment, hears
and decides on any zoning ordinance variance requests. Section 155.100
of the Zoning Ordinance sets what items may be varied and the process
that needs to be followed. Setbacks are an item that can be varied by
the Board. The applicant is seeking this variance to increase the number
5
of off-street parking spaces within its property and to reduce the use
of the street for parking by members of the church. Prior to deciding if
a variance is to be granted, the Board needs to consider any public
comment and review the following factors: Unnecessary hardship where an
owner cannot reasonably use their property, convenience, loss of profit,
financial limitations, or self-imposed hardships shall not be considered,
literal interpretation would deprive applicant rights commonly enjoyed
by others, Variance requested is the minimum variance needed to alleviate
hardship, granting variance will comply with the general purpose and
intent of this chapter, and will not be offensive to adjacent areas or
to the public, other nonconforming uses, or structures, cannot be
considered as grounds for the issuance of variance, exceptional and
extraordinary circumstances apply to the property that do not apply to
other properties in the same zone or vicinity, and the Board of Adjustment
may attach conditions to a variance to preserve the intent of the zoning
regulations and to protect the public interest.
Discussion followed on minimum parking requirements and setbacks.
368-24
Council Member Price moved approval of the variance to decrease the
front yard setback from 30 feet to 0 feet for the construction of off-
street parking at Hillside Community Church, 1800 Constance Drive. (Legal
description of Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 5A, Block 5A, Westgate Addition,
City of Vermillion, Clay County, South Dakota) with a contingency this
area is just for a parking lot. Council Member Holland seconded the
motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted.
7. Old Business - None
8. New Business
A. Request to close Church Street from East Main Street to Kidder Street
from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Friday, October 25, 2024 for the VCDC’s
Downtown Trick or Treat event.
John Prescott, City Manager, reported a request to close Church Street
from East Main Street to Kidder Street. John noted the Vermillion Area
Chamber and Development Company (VCDC) is hosting their Downtown Trick
or Treat event on Friday, October 25, 2024 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
John stated to enhance the safety of local pedestrian traffic and
visitors during the event, the VCDC has requested this temporary street
closure of Church Street from East Main Street to Kidder Street from
3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Friday, October 25. John noted Church Street
is where many of the businesses and organizations will set up. This
location provides an abundance of public parking opportunities in the
6
downtown area. Last year, Court Street was also included in the request,
but the businesses participating asked that it not be included this year
to allow one centralized area for all participants and attendees.
John stated this event is open to the public. The applicant states VCDC
staff will be responsible for all trash cleanup following the event.
John noted Vermillion Fire/EMS, Police, and Street Departments have been
notified of the event and currently have no concerns.
Council Member Murra moved approval of the request to close Church Street
from East Main Street to Kidder Street from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on
Friday, October 25, 2024 for the VCDC’s Downtown Trick or Treat event.
Council Member Jennewein seconded the motion. Motion carried 9 to 0.
Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted.
B. Final Plat of Lots 16 through 26 in Block 4, Jack Powell Addition,
City of Vermillion, Clay County, South Dakota.
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that the City of Vermillion has
submitted a final plat as the owner of the land. The area to be final
platted is roughly 2.3 acres in size. The land will be bordered on the
west by open land owned by the City, on the north and east by residential
lots within the Jack Powell Addition, and on the south by Baylor Street.
The final plat proposes to subdivide the area into 5 single-family
detached lots and 6 single-family attached lots. In addition, the plat
will also dedicate a small portion of James Street and the north 10 feet
of Baylor Street. The area is currently zoned within the R-3 Residential
district.
Jose noted the preliminary plat for the Jack Powell Addition was approved
by the Commission at the March 25, 2024 meeting. The City Council approved
the final plat for the other portions of the development on April 1,
2024. The plat being considered by the City Council does not deviate
from the approved preliminary plat.
Jose stated Staff reviewed the final plat and found that it complies
with all code provisions. The applicant will also be dedicating all
utility easements and rights-of-way for the necessary streets.
Jose noted this item was considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission
at their October 15th meeting. At that meeting the Commission had several
questions regarding the location of the lots in relation to the ones
already platted. After a brief discussion, the Commission recommended
8-0 that the City Council approve the plat as presented.
7
369-24
After reading the same once, Council Member Holland moved approval of
the following plat:
WHEREAS IT APPEARS that the owners thereof have caused a plat to be made
of the following described real property: Lots 16 through 26 in Block 4,
Jack Powell Addition City of Vermillion, Clay County, South Dakota for
approval.
BE IT RESOLVED that the attached and foregoing plat has been submitted
to and a report and recommendations thereon made by the Vermillion
Planning Commission to the City Council of Vermillion which has approved
the same.
BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that access shall be granted to the lot in accordance
with the City of Vermillion street access and driveway approach policy,
which requires an application permit.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the attached and foregoing plat has been
submitted to the Governing Body of the City of Vermillion which has
examined the same, and it appears that the systems of streets and alleys
set forth therein conforms to the system of streets and alleys of the
existing plat of such city, and that all taxes and special assessments,
if any, upon the tract or subdivision have been fully paid and that such
plat and survey thereof have been executed according to law, and the
same is hereby accordingly approved.
The motion was seconded by Council Member Price. Discussion followed and
the question of the adoption of the Resolution was presented for a vote
of the Governing Body. 9 members voted in favor of and 0 members voted
in opposition to the Resolution. Mayor Cole declared that the Resolution
was adopted.
C. Resolution to withdraw from participation in Vermillion River
hike/bike path grant agreement.
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on a resolution to withdraw from
participation in the Vermillion River hike/bike path grant agreement.
Jose noted the City has been working for a few years on reconstructing
a portion of the bike path along the Vermillion River from 12th Street
to West Street. The City has been trying to complete this project since
the flooding events between 2009 and 2011 that damaged the, at the time,
newly completed bike trail.
Jose noted the project for the reconstruction was awarded late in 2023
with construction to start around July 2024.
8
Jose stated that prior to reconstruction commencing in 2024 the area
along the Vermillion River experienced another flood event. Due to the
flood, additional riverbank was lost in the vicinity where the trail
would turn north towards Broadway Street. In addition to the loss of the
bank, the area was also covered by debris consisting of sand and trees.
Jose noted after the flood occurred the City assessed the damage and
determined that it would be best to request from the DOT and FHWA that
the City not be required to pay back the grant money used for the
construction of the trails. Jose stated Staff felt that this option
would remove the expense of reconstructing the trail in the future,
performing costly maintenance after flood events, and of purchasing
property to relocate the trail. After discussing with the DOT and FHWA,
the DOT recommended that the City draft a resolution where the Council
acknowledges the withdrawal of the project (PCN 05NK) and that all the
costs to date be paid. Additionally, the City would not be responsible
for the reconstruction of any of the trail or for returning the used
funds to the DOT or to FHWA. However, the City would need to return any
unexpended funds to the DOT.
Jose reported the original grant received by the City in 2005 was for
$750,000. This money was intended to be used by the City for
the construction of bike trails in the community. The money has been
used to construct trails along the river (e.g. from 12th Street to the
west), along the Bypass (e.g. Carr Street to Stanford Street), and along
Stanford Street (e.g. Bypass to West Cherry Street). Currently, there is
approximately $80,000 left of the original grant. The DOT estimates that
the City will need to repay no more than $6,575.84 to BX Construction
and $3,883.95 to McLaury Engineering, for a total of $10,459.79. These
costs are associated with the portion of the mobilization and bonding
expenses incurred by the contractor and for consultant services. Although
the DOT had a precise estimate, they asked the City to round up the
amount to $12,000 in case additional costs have been incurred and are
not accounted for yet.
Council Member Holland asked if the current bike path would be taken
out.
Jose stated no, the current portions would stay there and they would
close the bike path.
Mayor Cole asked if the $80,000 of grant money could be used for clean-
up of the bike path.
Jose stated no, all funds would have to be used for construction of a
bike path.
9
Mayor Cole stated the intent is to redesign the bike path at a later
date.
370-24
After reading the same once, Council Member Holland moved adoption of
the following:
RESOLUTION TO WITHDRAW FROM PARTICIPATION IN THE CITY OF VERMILLION
SHARED-USE PATH PROJECT (PCN 05NK)
WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion received a $750,000 grant in 2005 from
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for the construction of
shared-use paths in the City; and
WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion, with the assistance and direction of
the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT), has completed
several shared-use path projects in the City, one of those being along
the Vermillion River from 12th Street to West Street; and
WHEREAS, between 2009 and 2011 the Vermillion River flooded areas
adjacent to the already constructed trails and damaged them so that they
were unsafe to use; and
WHEREAS, since 2010 the City of Vermillion has been working with the
SDDOT to relocate the damaged trail to a location away from the river
and to avoid repaying the money used to the FHWA; and
WHEREAS, the reconstruction of the shared-use path was going to occur in
the summer of 2024; and
WHEREAS, in June and July 2024 the Vermillion River flooded and eroded
additional riverbank and deposited debris in other parts of the shared-
use path; and
WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion asked the SDDOT and FHWA to abandon the
reconstruction project and to remove the City’s requirement to repay
FHWA for any of the grant used; and
WHEREAS, the SDDOT and FHWA have agreed to allow the City of Vermillion
to repay expenses already incurred by the SDDOT, the contractor, and the
consultant no more than $12,000, and to return any of the remaining
grant funds originally given to the SDDOT.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Governing Body of the City of
Vermillion, South Dakota, that the City is withdrawing from participation
in the construction of the Shared Use Path project (PCN 05NK), will
repay the SDDOT, the contractor, and the consultant no more than $12,000,
10
and return any remaining monies associated with the original grant to
the SDDOT.

F. Consider Adoption of the Jack Powell Addition 2024 Concerted Community
Development and Revitalization Plan (CCRP).
John Prescott, City Manager, reported that a Concerted Community
Development and Revitalization Plan (CCRP) is a strategic framework aimed
at enhancing community well-being and neighborhood development. It
12
involves collaborative efforts among local government, community
organizations, businesses, and residents to address social, economic,
and environmental challenges.
John stated several documents that provide input to identify the need
for affordable housing within the Vermillion area are included in the
document. Furthermore, the need for affordable housing was demonstrated
at all ages, incomes, and phases of life. The documents cited within the
CCRP include the City of Vermillion Housing Study, Sanford Vermillion’s
Community Health Needs Assessment, City of Vermillion’s Community
Development Block Grant application, SECOG’s Comprehensive Economic
Development Strategy, and the City of Vermillion 2035 Comprehensive Plan.
The CCRP highlights five goals and priorities within the 2035
Comprehensive Plan that the Jack Powell Addition provides for the
community.
John stated a proposed developer is applying for a tax-credit housing
project through the South Dakota Housing Development Authority (SDHDA).
Due to these 50 acres of the Jack Powell Addition not being within City
limits during the last census, it is not considered a qualified census
tract, and therefore the developer requested a CCRP to assist them in
their application to the SDHDA. The application is directed toward
assisted and independent senior living.
