[0:17] Cold in here.

[0:25] Me?

[0:27] I scram one.

[1:10] I am.

[1:13] Can't you tell?

[1:16] So,

[1:17] all right. It's

[1:19] Monday, August 3rd at 6:30. I'll call

[1:21] the

[1:22] the

[1:23] council meeting to order.

[1:25] Um

[1:28] uh

[1:30] Let's see.

[1:32] All right. So, as far as the agenda,

[1:34] there's a couple items that the council

[1:36] can choose to add. Um

[1:39] um there's on the in the mayor's section

[1:42] or the mayor's report, there's [snorts]

[1:44] two liquor store employees that we would

[1:47] like to to add. Um Jayden Payne um is

[1:52] planning on being a stocker at the

[1:54] liquor store earning $16 per hour.

[1:57] Um Cayden Woerner

[1:59] w o e r n e r is going to be security at

[2:03] the liquor store during the rally at $18

[2:05] per hour.

[2:06] So, um if the council whoever makes the

[2:09] motion if those two could be added to

[2:11] the mayor's report, that would be good.

[2:14] Um today we also got a

[2:17] um request for an SEL. Um

[2:21] so last year the Gas Monkey did an SEL

[2:25] on the first Sunday of the rally at

[2:28] Indian Motorcycle.

[2:30] And somewhere along the line the

[2:31] paperwork didn't get submitted until

[2:33] today.

[2:34] And so if the council chooses we could

[2:36] add that to the agenda

[2:39] and uh approve it or not approve it

[2:41] depending on what you guys want to do.

[2:43] Um Robin has received the application

[2:47] and the uh the payment for the SEL.

[2:50] And uh and I think everybody's got a

[2:52] copy of the

[2:54] of the staff report that that shows

[2:56] that. So,

[2:58] with that is there a motion to approve

[3:00] the agenda?

[3:01] » Motion to approve the agenda with the

[3:02] two added employees in the mayor's

[3:04] [clears throat] report and the SEL in

[3:06] the consent agenda.

[3:08] » I'll second.

[3:11] » All right. First by Alex, second by Jim.

[3:13] All in favor?

[3:14] » Yes.

[3:15] » I.

[3:15] » Opposed?

[3:17] All right. We have an agenda. So, item

[3:20] three pledge of allegiance.

[3:26] » I pledge allegiance to the flag of the

[3:28] United States of America and to the

[3:31] republic for which it stands, one nation

[3:34] under God, indivisible, with liberty and

[3:37] justice for all.

[3:42] » [snorts]

[3:45] » All right. Pray.

[3:47] Thanks.

[3:51] » All right, let's pray.

[3:53] Father, the rally's here and um

[3:56] Lord, I thank you for all the people

[3:57] that work so hard to keep

[4:00] order, keep things going and um really

[4:02] the citizens of the town don't even

[4:05] really know all that goes on and um

[4:07] because it's so smooth and we just thank

[4:09] you for that. I just pray your safety

[4:11] and your help with these all these folks

[4:13] and we thank you for this evening. Just

[4:14] please guide and lead the council. In

[4:16] Jesus' name. Amen.

[4:17] » Amen.

[4:19] » Thank you.

[4:20] » All right.

[4:22] Jim, I think we should note that uh

[4:24] Terry

[4:25] read the announcements and praise in

[4:27] your absence last time.

[4:28] » Was he adequate?

[4:29] » Oh, boy.

[4:31] » [laughter]

[4:35] [laughter]

[4:37] » So,

[4:38] but we're glad you're back to do it.

[4:40] Let's just say that, okay?

[4:41] » [laughter]

[4:42] » Oh.

[4:44] Thank you.

[4:45] Are we ready?

[4:48] » We are.

[4:49] » Okay.

[8:17] note of.

[8:17] » Right. Thanks, Jim.

[8:19] All right. Moving on to item five,

[8:21] non-agenda items that that come before

[8:23] the council.

[8:25] Does council have anything they wish to

[8:27] discuss?

[8:30] All right. Any from the public?

[8:35] All right.

[8:38] There is.

[8:41] » We here at

[8:43] Sturgis Black Hills LLC,

[8:46] Monster Biker LLC, has been in

[8:48] communication. I've been trying to find

[8:50] it, I couldn't find it for you guys.

[8:53] The LLC has been in communications with

[8:56] the Department of Transportation.

[8:58] » Give us your name.

[9:00] » Michael Galante, the owner of Black

[9:02] Hills Private Radio and Sturgis Private

[9:04] Radio.

[9:04] » Okay.

[9:05] » We

[9:06] We have been trying to pull everything

[9:08] out, and also Mr. Mayor, I'd like to

[9:10] have time to get your feedback.

[9:13] Mayor Sam Mayor of Rapid City has given

[9:17] us an official statement about the 86th

[9:22] Sturgis Rally

[9:24] about from his angle, from the city of

[9:27] Rapid City, and it was asked to him to

[9:29] do that because

[9:31] when the DOT numbers from last year were

[9:35] pulled up and looked at,

[9:37] and the news was and the news from the

[9:40] local news vendors were pulled up. It

[9:42] was a It was noticed that they did not

[9:46] seem to have as much care for the

[9:48] motorcycle riders as they did their

[9:51] cars. Because they were five They were

[9:54] five to five at five deaths to one of

[9:57] our deaths. So, that rendered the mayor

[10:00] of Mayor Solomon to render us a

[10:03] statement that we're going to be

[10:06] hopefully putting out as a PSA and if I

[10:08] can I I was in one of my pieces in my

[10:10] phone, I will send that on the Deb when

[10:13] I find that to talk about the safety of

[10:16] the riders, the cars, the riders, and

[10:19] the and the thing is the walkers and the

[10:21] bicyclists to help bring the to bring

[10:24] attention to the rally and how everybody

[10:27] should work as one because like I

[10:29] pointed out to him, I said, "You know,

[10:31] if all we're hearing is wrecks and

[10:33] hospitals, we're damaging the history of

[10:36] this motorcycle rally. We need to try to

[10:39] work on the safety so when riders come

[10:43] to your town and they come to our town,

[10:46] meaning Sturgis at the time, and Deb was

[10:49] emailed the whole transactions of that

[10:51] statements that we we we would like them

[10:54] to come to say this is a beautiful

[10:56] experience. I'd like to come back, not

[10:59] the experience to say, "Well, I wrecked

[11:01] my bike and I got to get a new bike."

[11:02] So, that So, that and we and we're in

[11:05] the middle of trying to figure out to

[11:06] get the DOT stuff kicked out about to

[11:09] get these riders so they can understand

[11:11] what what what what we did not get

[11:13] correct what was not sent correct to us

[11:15] correctly

[11:17] was the reduction of speeds on the

[11:19] highway.

[11:21] The The postings of those The markers to

[11:23] the town was

[11:25] The station Well, how it it started out

[11:27] originally had a very jaded history. And

[11:30] I do say I understand that.

[11:32] But at the same time, I would love to

[11:35] see everybody understand when Pete

[11:38] started it, he started it for the

[11:39] writers and he started it for the people

[11:41] to have fun. And at the end, I'd like to

[11:43] get you see if you wouldn't give us a

[11:45] statement because Mayor Solomon and his

[11:48] staff worked with worked with me via

[11:51] email to make that statement. It's a

[11:53] real short statement, but it's to the

[11:55] point. Everybody is to be courteous to

[11:58] each other on the road and also to hit

[12:01] to watch out for pedestrians and

[12:03] bicyclists, which I thought was

[12:04] interesting considering the K-12 here.

[12:06] Thank you for your time.

[12:07] » You bet. All right, we'll work with you.

[12:09] Just

[12:10] submit a request to Deb if you would,

[12:12] please.

[12:14] So, anybody else?

[12:26] » My name's Daryl Van Dunker and I just

[12:29] have

[12:31] a simple request. I have municipal codes

[12:34] you guys can look at from other places

[12:37] um that I can hand somebody.

[12:46] And nowhere have I found a way to set up

[12:49] a pop-up vending

[12:53] mechanism that's free for information.

[12:56] Um I've looked through all your codes

[12:59] and I just haven't found it. Uh

[13:02] so, my recommendation is just a simple

[13:05] statement. Sturgis should consider

[13:07] creating a free easy sign-up rule for

[13:10] small schools and information tables

[13:13] just like Berkeley, Boulder, and

[13:15] Madison. Who could use it? Local

[13:18] Catholic Chesterton School is authorized

[13:22] to go into the local Catholic church

[13:24] school, um but they've had no community

[13:27] support and they've had no way to

[13:29] outreach to people.

[13:31] Um,

[13:32] I have a Mars colony prep lab that I've

[13:36] been working on. I have no way to

[13:37] promote it as well. Um, and local teams

[13:41] have no way to seek donations during the

[13:45] rally or let people know that they're

[13:47] there.

[13:48] » So, have you have you contacted our

[13:50] planning

[13:51] office, planning and permitting office?

[13:56] Um, that would be a good place to start

[13:58] to see if there is an avenue and then

[14:00] they could bring it back through me and

[14:02] the council, okay?

[14:03] » Okay, because you guys don't have any

[14:06] codes for the pop-ups and I've asked

[14:08] multiple times at the office.

[14:11] It was something that was going to be

[14:12] considered.

[14:13] » Don't know which office you're pointing

[14:14] to. If you're pointing towards the

[14:16] finest office, yeah, and I'm I'm saying

[14:18] you probably should go to the planning

[14:20] and permitting.

[14:22] Have them

[14:23] look look at your request would be my

[14:25] suggestion.

[14:27] » Okay. Um, but there'd be no way to get

[14:30] that done this week.

[14:33] Right?

[14:33] » Well, I don't know what the code says.

[14:35] You're saying there's not in there, but

[14:37] let's just verify with them and then

[14:39] then get with me and we'll come up with

[14:40] a plan, okay?

[14:42] » Okay. Um, can I at least say what these

[14:44] pop-ups would look like?

[14:46] » You can, but it'd be more efficient if

[14:47] you work through them. So.

[14:49] » Okay.

[14:50] Well, they're 2x2 tables. They're not

[14:52] very big and they'd be placed against

[14:55] the uh, public property lines, not in

[14:58] the sidewalks. Um, but they would allow

[15:01] the soccer team, the football team, and

[15:03] local schools to do outreach during

[15:07] rally and let people, you know, they're

[15:10] there.

[15:11] And take donations.

[15:13] » Great. Thank you.

[15:17] Anybody else?

[15:20] Any other non-agenda items?

[15:25] All right.

[15:26] All right. Moving on to the mayor's

[15:28] report. Um,

[15:29] let me know if you got any questions on

[15:31] any of these items.

[15:33] Um, there's some uh listing for workers

[15:36] comp coverage, um, police department.

[15:39] There's a couple uh

[15:41] um, parks employees on it. Um, some

[15:44] rally temp hires at the

[15:47] at the ambulance,

[15:49] » [snorts]

[15:49] » Um

[15:50] uh

[15:51] item 6.4 has the has a uh sales clerk,

[15:55] um, and that's probably where we'll add

[15:57] the two additions, the

[15:59] the liquor store stocker and uh and the

[16:02] uh security at the liquor store.

[16:05] Um, a couple water operators,

[16:08] um,

[16:09] another volunteer for workers comp

[16:11] coverage.

[16:13] Uh, actually a couple more of those,

[16:15] three.

[16:16] And then, um,

[16:18] an important one here on 6.9.

[16:21] Um, it's appointing uh Bryson Cool as

[16:25] the ambulance director.

[16:27] Um, so we look forward to working with

[16:29] Bryson going forward.

[16:32] And so, um

[16:35] Bryson uh

[16:37] uh when he was promoted it left an

[16:39] opening for a full-time EMT or paramedic

[16:44] in the staff, so Cody's backfilling

[16:47] Bryson's spot, um as uh as a paramedic.

[16:52] And then, um, item 6.11

[16:55] is uh a letter of support that we put

[16:58] together for Neighborhood Works. Um,

[17:02] uh Mayor Forrester did the same thing,

[17:04] um, last year, so they've asked for it

[17:06] again, and um, that letter letter's

[17:09] ready for me to sign if you guys are

[17:11] okay with that.

[17:12] And then, item 6.12, um, citizen

[17:16] agenda. Uh, the Freedom Biker's

[17:19] submitted this um, and then decided not

[17:21] to come to council.

[17:23] Um, I know they've been in contact with

[17:25] uh, at least one council member

[17:28] and me as far as trying to keep us

[17:30] updated on their progress.

[17:32] And so, um, you know, they got a long

[17:35] ways to go in

[17:36] in uh, a short period of time, but um,

[17:39] [snorts]

[17:40] we'll see where they can get this week

[17:41] on that. So.

[17:43] Is that work?

[17:45] All right. Any questions from the public

[17:47] on the mayor's report?

[17:53] Okay.

[17:54] Moving on to the consent calendar.

[17:57] Um,

[18:00] » [clears throat]

[18:01] » Uh,

[18:02] we got the minutes from the last

[18:04] meeting.

[18:05] Um, an SEO for Sturgis Brewing Company.

[18:09] Uh, setting a public hearing for an

[18:11] in-home business.

[18:13] Uh,

[18:15] final plat for the industrial park.

[18:19] Um, actually two of those. Um,

[18:22] oh, three final plats.

[18:24] One at uh,

[18:26] Yeah, so.

[18:29] Four with with Harvest Meadows and uh,

[18:32] Valley View subdivision.

[18:34] Um,

[18:35] the two big ones on the on the west end

[18:37] of town.

[18:38] So, those are all on the consent

[18:39] calendar.

[18:41] Does uh, council have any questions or

[18:43] items they want to discuss on the

[18:44] consent calendar?

[18:49] All right.

[18:50] Any items from the public?

[18:54] » I do, honorable your president.

[18:57] » Cool. You bet.

[19:02] » You have the Indian one, too.

[19:04] » The what?

[19:04] » Indian.

[19:05] » Yeah.

[23:50] Um

[23:52] Does anybody have a conflict on the

[23:53] items on the

[23:55] agenda for the Board of Adjustments?

[24:02] All right.

[24:04] First item is

[24:07] um

[24:08] 9.3 consideration for a use on review at

[24:11] 1325 1325 Nellie Street

[24:15] um to operate a home-based foundation

[24:17] repair business.

[24:19] Um Casey's got the report on that.

[24:21] » Good evening. The use on review

[24:24] applicant for 1325 Nellie Street is

[24:26] Billy Schlosser. He's also here for

[24:27] questions afterwards.

[24:29] Um the application is for a home-based

[24:31] foundation repair business. The proposed

[24:33] use is to utilize the property as a base

[24:35] camp, basically parking his businesses

[24:38] vehicles, trailers in his property while

[24:40] they're not in use and at a job site.

[24:43] The at-home business is permitted in

[24:45] residential districts subject to the

[24:47] approval of the use on review through

[24:49] the Board of Adjustment following the

[24:50] recommendation of the Planning

[24:52] Commission, which was approved

[24:53] previously.

[24:54] Um the property has ample space for this

[24:57] this parking um

[24:59] and all business deliveries are sent

[25:02] offsite. They are not sent to the

[25:03] property and the property does not have

[25:05] any customers stopping by as well.

[25:08] In reviewing the use on review

[25:09] application, the planning commission and

[25:11] board of adjustment should consider the

[25:12] proposed use is consistent with the

[25:14] surrounding neighborhood which is

[25:15] primarily residential, will not be a

[25:18] detriment to public health, safety, or

[25:20] welfare, and will not create excessive

[25:21] traffic, noise, or parking issues, is

[25:24] consistent with the intent of the zoning

[25:26] district and can be conditioned if

[25:28] necessary.

[25:30] Staff has reviewed the application and

[25:31] finds that the

[25:33] an in-home or an at-home business is

[25:36] compatible with residential

[25:37] neighborhoods when properly regulated.

[25:39] Uh no significant traffic impacts are

[25:42] expected and no signage or exterior

[25:44] changes are proposed that would alter

[25:46] the residential appearance of the

[25:47] property. Staff finds that the request

[25:49] as proposed meets the general intent of

[25:51] the use on review criteria provided the

[25:54] operation remains consistent with the

[25:56] submitted application information. Staff

[25:59] suggests the following conditions be

[26:00] considered by the board of adjustment.

[26:02] No signage related to the business be

[26:04] permitted on the property. The use shall

[26:06] remain secondary to the residential use

[26:08] of the property. And any expansion or

[26:10] change in the scope of the business

[26:12] shall require additional review and

[26:14] approval.

[26:15] Based on the information provided us

[26:17] provided, staff recommends approval of

[26:19] the home-based foundation repair at 1325

[26:22] Nellie Street subject to the recommended

[26:24] conditions or any additional conditions

[26:26] deemed necessary.

[26:28] I will

[26:29] answer any questions or Billy can answer

[26:31] questions as well.

[26:32] » Okay.

[26:33] I think we'll have you come up, Billy.

[26:43] So

[26:45] I went up there last week and and walked

[26:48] the property with Billy and we talked

[26:50] about some different things um

[26:53] as far as what he's done with the

[26:54] property and what his plans are, you

[26:57] know, going forward as

[27:00] you know, as far as, you know, how much,

[27:04] you know, that area will be used or, you

[27:06] know, how many vehicles they'll have and

[27:08] that type of thing. Um,

[27:10] you know, one thing, uh,

[27:12] we talked about is, you know, at a

[27:14] certain point in in his business growth,

[27:17] it, you know, it's going to make sense

[27:19] for him to have,

[27:21] you know, a different location than

[27:23] this.

[27:24] Um,

[27:26] you know, he's not in a position to do

[27:28] that now.

[27:29] Um, so, um, cuz at a certain point, you

[27:33] know, a size of this type of business,

[27:37] you know, outgrows a residential area.

[27:40] And so,

[27:42] um,

[27:43] you know,

[27:44] now is the time we can

[27:46] talk more about that or or get council's

[27:49] input on on your thoughts and and take

[27:52] on on what's going on up there and

[27:55] what's been done so far.

[27:58] And so, um,

[28:01] what

[28:03] » Really, what is your like timeline? Are

[28:05] you Is this like a for sure 10 years out

[28:08] you're going to keep the business and

[28:10] the equipment at the residence or are

[28:12] you looking

[28:14] down the road? I understand you're just

[28:15] starting out and whatnot, so.

[28:18] Because like I said, if it gets bigger,

[28:20] it'd be nice to see it in more of an

[28:21] industrial, I would say more industrial,

[28:23] but for now.

[28:24] » Yeah.

[28:25] » So.

[28:27] » We never

[28:28] planned on anything else. I mean, we

[28:30] love the house.

[28:33] We we really like We really love the

[28:35] house, you know, and it had it has

[28:37] foundation issues and that's why we

[28:38] bought it.

[28:39] Never expected this to ever come up.

[28:42] I never expected me to grow like I have.

[28:45] It just It's all came so fast.

[28:48] Um

[28:50] So, I I

[28:51] have not thought about it.

[28:52] » Okay.

[28:53] » You know, we just moved in in October.

[28:56] And this has come up just out of

[28:58] nowhere. So.

[29:00] » How it usually works.

[29:01] » Yeah.

[29:02] Yeah.

[29:02] » Okay.

[29:04] Well, you've thought about it since last

[29:05] week.

[29:06] » Oh, I I have.

[29:07] » Right. So.

[29:09] Um

[29:11] So, with your operation now, and I know

[29:14] you have you know, you just acquired the

[29:16] mud jacking business and the way you're

[29:18] set up now,

[29:20] you know, how many parking spaces do you

[29:22] need?

[29:28] » Quite a few. You know, I don't know. I

[29:30] It So, I have a a foreman who takes a

[29:33] truck home every day.

[29:35] I have another guy that I you know, I

[29:37] don't I would call him Jathan. Um

[29:39] is like a foreman. He takes another

[29:40] truck home every day.

[29:42] So, there's really only two commercial

[29:44] vehicles and one of them is just an old

[29:46] F-150 I got from my grandpa. I don't use

[29:49] I don't ever drive the thing. So,

[29:50] there's only one

[29:51] commercial

[29:53] pickup truck that's there full-time and

[29:55] that's my personal.

[29:56] » Yeah.

[29:56] » Um the semi truck, it's I'm trying to

[29:59] get rid of it. It is The motor's blown.

[30:00] I'm trying to get rid of it. So. Um

[30:04] and then the rest are just trailers.

[30:07] I've got an enclosed trailer, two dump

[30:09] trailers, and a car trailer, and a

[30:11] concrete pump which is

[30:13] a trailer.

[30:14] It's on a trailer, you know.

[30:16] » And that's the new one you put together?

[30:18] » No. No, that That's a dump trailer.

[30:21] » Okay.

[30:22] » Yep. Cuz that's where I took everything

[30:24] off the big semi truck and I put it on

[30:25] set it up on do that new dump trailer.

[30:28] You know.

[30:29] » So.

[30:30] Just going through what you just

[30:32] described,

[30:33] you know, would six parking spots be

[30:36] enough or do you need eight?

[30:39] Um cuz it'd be good if we could

[30:42] kind of define some specifics of

[30:45] you know

[30:46] what you need for

[30:48] for uh you know, your business as it is.

[30:52] These these use on reviews are annual.

[30:55] Right? Like this this discussion or this

[30:59] this will be an agenda item

[31:01] every year.

[31:02] » Yeah.

[31:03] » And so

[31:04] » Well, I mean after after all of this, I

[31:05] mean I definitely don't want to

[31:07] you know, live live there anymore. It's

[31:09] kind of ruined the the whole life of the

[31:11] whole house, you know.

[31:13] It doesn't even, you know, makes us feel

[31:15] like

[31:16] you know

[31:17] definitely not a forever home. We

[31:18] thought it would be. It's big house. We

[31:20] love it.

[31:21] I love the spot, but you know, I

[31:24] I It's definitely the next plan is to

[31:27] try to find something else.

[31:28] » Right.

[31:29] » Yeah.

[31:29] » And so um

[31:31] you know, depending on what the council

[31:32] decides tonight um

[31:35] you know, if we can

[31:37] define some specifics of how it could be

[31:40] used, you know

[31:43] for the next year or until you're up

[31:46] again, that'll give you some time to put

[31:50] your plan together for your

[31:52] for where you head with your business,

[31:54] right?

[31:55] And so

[31:57] um

[31:58] you know, it'd be helpful if you could

[31:59] say how many parking spots you needed

[32:01] and then that'll give us some specifics

[32:03] to to go off of.

[32:13] Does anybody else have any comments

[32:15] here?

[32:16] » No.

[32:19] Well, I think the the basis for the

[32:22] business is good and it's something that

[32:24] could be used without any question.

[32:27] Um

[32:30] you've just begun. I mean,

[32:32] so you have you done an assessment of

[32:34] how far

[32:35] you could go to work or

[32:38] » Well, I had started my business when I

[32:40] was 20 years old. So, it's been It's

[32:41] going on 8 years now.

[32:44] I rented a house on Hill Street uh for 5

[32:47] years

[32:48] and I ran my business out of there.

[32:50] I've had multiple trucks, multiple

[32:53] trailers. Nothing's changed besides

[32:55] buying Baker Mud Jacking, which only

[32:57] added

[32:58] two trucks and a trailer.

[33:00] But, I never had any issues where we

[33:02] were at.

[33:03] So, we didn't expect to have issues

[33:05] where we're at now and we did I never

[33:08] really thought of it.

[33:10] I've never thought about buying a shop

[33:11] and running the business out of a shop.

[33:13] I've always just I started my business

[33:14] with nothing and I've worked my way up

[33:17] to what I have now

[33:18] and just working out of my house. Just

[33:21] what I'm used to, I guess.

[33:24] » So, the issue really is

[33:26] it's not Is it on-street parking that

[33:28] we're thinking about or it's It sounds

[33:30] like the parking is on his property.

[33:33] » It is.

[33:36] But, it's a use on review for operating

[33:39] a home-based business

[33:41] out of residential. And so, um I'm sure

[33:45] you're familiar with the Clevin house.

[33:48] That's it.

[33:49] And so, um

[33:52] some of the lawn on the south side has

[33:54] been graveled for a driveway.

[33:57] Um

[33:58] there's a big gravel spot in the back

[34:00] for parking.

[34:01] Um the

[34:03] the driveway wraps around the garage.

[34:06] Um

[34:07] it's a bit much for a residential area.

[34:09] » Is there an issue with with the people

[34:12] around you, the other neighbors?

[34:14] Or have you done any

[34:15] » The closest neighbors I've talked to

[34:16] every one of them. I

[34:18] I don't think there's any issue at all.

[34:20] They're all very nice.

[34:22] I've talked to every one of them.

[34:23] » There's There's one letter in the in the

[34:25] council packet that

[34:27] that uh

[34:28] um

[34:30] you know,

[34:32] is all is good with it.

[34:34] Um

[34:36] So

[34:38] » So if the use and review is also, I mean

[34:40] we have a year essentially

[34:42] I think that

[34:44] that's nice. That's good to be able to

[34:47] it gives him a also an opportunity to

[34:49] improve on it if he needs to.

[34:51] » I agree.

[34:52] » I agree. Cuz

[34:53] » Well, I have the I mean, what could I do

[34:56] to improve it to

[34:59] stay where we're at for now so we don't

[35:01] have to worry about it cuz a year is not

[35:02] enough time.

[35:04] You know, I just bought the house. I

[35:06] just bought the this other business.

[35:09] I'm just wondering

[35:12] what you'd like me to do, what could

[35:14] make this better. You know

[35:18] What would you like to see?

[35:20] » And And that's where we're trying to

[35:23] talk about specifics of you know, what

[35:26] all's going to go down there. Is it Is

[35:28] it parking for this number of spots?

[35:31] So, you know, we know if if your

[35:34] business is growing and you're taking

[35:35] more spots

[35:37] um you know, a lot of it's going to be

[35:40] you know, what what kind of feedback the

[35:41] council gets from the from your

[35:43] neighbors and stuff in the next year.

[35:45] So, you know, if you can tread lightly

[35:48] and you know, and

[35:50] and

[35:51] and you know, but at some point, you

[35:54] know, generally we like hard surface for

[35:58] parking

[36:00] rather than gravel.

[36:02] Um you know, there's just some different

[36:04] things that

[36:06] go along with

[36:09] you know

[36:12] doing this, but

[36:14] you know

[36:16] whether the council decides this or not,

[36:18] in general

[36:20] you know [clears throat]

[36:21] there's a point where that's too much

[36:23] for a residential location in my

[36:26] opinion.

[36:27] » Well, that's kind of the that's kind of

[36:30] why you're here, right? I mean,

[36:32] to figure out and for us to decide. Um

[36:36] as I hear you talk, I'm not quite sure

[36:38] this will even be long-term. It sounds

[36:40] like this is something that's kind of

[36:43] tipped you over a little bit. And I

[36:45] understand that. One of the thoughts

[36:48] that I would have um

[36:50] is that have you ever entertained the

[36:53] thought of a of some sort of a privacy

[36:55] fence, or would that be workable in this

[36:57] situation?

[37:00] » That

[37:01] Yeah, I'm open for suggestions.

[37:05] » It may assist you in some way

[37:08] um down the road. And as far as the hard

[37:11] surface there, um that's going to be

[37:14] something probably down the line, too,

[37:15] and then

[37:17] in fact, I think

[37:18] your garage that sits here,

[37:21] I think should be hard surface now,

[37:24] probably.

[37:25] » I It was when we bought it, but

[37:28] everything from Weber

[37:30] poured into the garage.

[37:32] The garage floor is is destroyed,

[37:35] cracked up. It's really bad.

[37:37] And the

[37:38] you know, asphalt was sticking 3 in

[37:40] higher than the garage floor. Everything

[37:43] was pouring in there when it rained. I I

[37:45] had to tear it out. I had to create a

[37:46] swale, push it away.

[37:49] Yeah.

[37:49] I I mean, I I had to do something.

[37:51] » I'm just saying that's kind of the one

[37:53] of the requirements, so.

[37:54] » Yeah.

[37:55] I I understand.

[37:56] » Yeah.

[37:59] But that'd be a suggestion of mine would

[38:02] be this privacy fence

[38:05] if you decide to stay there long-term.

[38:11] » I was going to ask you in the months

[38:12] that you are able to work

[38:18] Do we have I mean, do you Is there

[38:20] months that you're going to have

[38:21] probably more

[38:23] more uh trailers sitting around than

[38:25] probably the dead of the winter. You

[38:27] probably have more trailers.

[38:28] » Usually stay very busy during the

[38:30] winter.

[38:31] » Okay.

[38:31] » I mean, we

[38:32] work out of town, and come wintertime we

[38:34] work out of town a lot for some reason.

[38:36] Seems to be.

[38:38] Um

[38:39] but it's just in between jobs.

[38:41] Uh we just started a big peering job

[38:43] today, and it's like everything is just

[38:45] almost gone, you know, out of the lot.

[38:48] And it will be that way for the next 3

[38:49] weeks.

[38:51] You know, and then

[38:52] everything will be will come back for a

[38:54] little bit. It's just in between jobs.

[38:57] » So, very rarely you have all of it there

[39:00] at the same time.

[39:01] » I don't ever foresee me having

[39:03] everything of mine there at one time.

[39:06] I mean, with

[39:07] with both of my guys taking trucks home

[39:11] and trailers on the job, I don't ever

[39:14] foresee them ever being there besides in

[39:15] the morning maybe when they all show up.

[39:18] Everyone shows up, you know, and then we

[39:20] leave.

[39:21] I mean, that's about it.

[39:22] » Yeah.

[39:22] » It's the only time, but they would never

[39:24] stay there. Yes. I think I would need

[39:26] seven parking lots seven parking spots.

[39:28] I I'm not considering that F-150 that I

[39:30] got. It's It's an old F-150. It ain't It

[39:33] just has commercial plates on it. That's

[39:35] all.

[39:36] Cuz the only I got to have commercial

[39:37] plates to pull any of my trailers cuz I

[39:39] got permanent plates on there.

[39:41] » Well, just looking I mean, looks like

[39:42] you keep your property pretty nice.

[39:44] » I I try to. I try to. I'm very OCD. I

[39:47] try to keep things very clean and

[39:49] organized.

[39:50] » Well, with knowing

[39:51] we'll see I guess

[39:53] how your business grows in the next

[39:55] year,

[39:56] but I'd be willing to make a motion to

[39:58] approve this

[39:59] for a year, you know, and then when it

[40:02] comes up for a re

[40:03] review again if we have uh

[40:06] some situations that the neighbors are

[40:08] upset, then we're probably going to have

[40:10] to take a look at it next year, but I

[40:13] would make that motion to approve it for

[40:15] now.

[40:17] » I'd second that.

[40:19] » Yeah.

[40:21] » First by Terry, second by Ruth.

[40:25] Any other comments

[40:28] from the public?

[40:31] All right. All in favor?

[40:33] » Aye.

[40:33] » Yes.

[40:34] » Post?

[40:35] All right. Motion passes.

[40:38] » Thank you.

[40:40] » All right.

[40:41] Um

[40:43] continuing on with the Board of

[40:44] Adjustments.

[40:45] Um item 9.4 consideration

[40:49] for setback variances at 2750 Whitewood

[40:52] Service Road.

[40:56] » The applicant for the variance requested

[40:58] at 2750 Whitewood Service Road is Ronald

[41:00] AD. The applicant is requesting

[41:02] variances to the zoning setback

[41:03] requirements due to the property's very

[41:05] irregular and narrow shape. Um can you

[41:08] pull up a picture of that lot, please?

[41:10] Thank you.

[41:11] Uh the required setbacks are impractical

[41:13] for the reasonable use of the lot. The

[41:15] surrounding area mainly consists of

[41:17] commercial use over there.

[41:19] Um

[41:20] the requested variance specifically are

[41:21] for the front and the rear setbacks. So,

[41:24] if you're looking at the picture, the

[41:25] little dash triangle is where he's

[41:27] technically allowed to build a building

[41:29] for the setbacks. So, the requested

[41:30] variance is for a zero to lot line on

[41:33] the backside, which backs up to the

[41:35] railroad. So, the railroad already has a

[41:36] 50-ft right-of-way back there.

[41:38] The front is for a 21

[41:41] .4 uh requested setback at the front.

[41:45] It's usually 35. Um in front of his lot

[41:48] line is already a 22-ft right-of-way

[41:51] plus an 8-ft uh walkway to the service

[41:54] road. So, there's a lot of space up

[41:56] front there. Um all other conditions of

[41:58] the property have been met.

[42:00] The subject property is a very irregular

[42:02] and narrow-shaped lot that is only 71.49

[42:06] at the widest width on the east side and

[42:08] 36.88 on the west line.

[42:12] Uh

[42:14] You're good.

[42:15] Due to the physical characteristics and

[42:17] irregular

[42:18] size and shape of the subject property,

[42:20] staff does support the requested

[42:22] variances as proposed for 2750 Whitewood

[42:25] Service Road. All future building

[42:27] construction and site improvements will

[42:28] need to be completed per current city

[42:31] building codes and ordinances at that

[42:32] time when that comes about.

[42:35] Do you have any questions?

[42:40] » [snorts]

[42:43] » Any questions for Casey from council?

[42:48] From the public?

[42:52] All right. Is there a motion?

[42:54] » Motion to approve.

[42:55] » Second.

[42:56] » First by Tony, second by Alex. All in

[42:58] favor?

[42:59] » Yes.

[43:00] » Opposed?

[43:01] Motion passes.

[43:03] All right.

[43:04] On to 9.5, consideration of variances

[43:08] for lot A-2-1 through lot A-2-7

[43:13] of Hurley subdivision.

[43:16] » The applicant for the variance requested

[43:17] at 2171 Moose Drive is Dallen Creek

[43:20] Apartments LLC. These properties are

[43:22] part of the final plat that will follow

[43:24] this as well. Um that and this property

[43:26] contains the Dallen Creek Assisted

[43:28] Living Complex. This property is part of

[43:30] the previously approved planned unit

[43:32] development and tax increment finance um

[43:35] improvement district. The final plat

[43:37] will follow this variance approval.

[43:40] The applicant is requesting variances to

[43:42] the zoning requirements associated with

[43:43] the minimum frontage and setbacks.

[43:46] Specifically, uh

[43:48] 2-1, 2-2, 2- 5, 2-6, and 2-7 all will

[43:54] have less than 100 ft, which is the

[43:56] required uh front width of the lots.

[44:01] And then 2-4,

[44:03] rear setback will only be 7.19

[44:06] ft. The requirement is typically 10.

[44:09] And then 2-7 will have less than 100 ft

[44:13] frontage and less than the required

[44:15] corner cuz it's on the side of the

[44:17] corner of the two streets. Um setback

[44:19] which will be 11.39.

[44:21] Requirement is usually 18 ft.

[44:26] Staff notes that all interior side yard

[44:28] setbacks, front yard setbacks, and

[44:30] minimal lot requirements are properly

[44:31] met otherwise. The staff supports the

[44:34] requested variance associated with the

[44:35] minimum lot width, frontage, and related

[44:37] dimensional standards as noted in the

[44:39] information provided and recommends

[44:42] approval of the variances for lots A-2-1

[44:46] through A-2-7 in the Hurley subdivision

[44:49] with the final plat to follow this

[44:50] approval.

[44:58] » This is all townhouses, right?

[45:00] » Yes.

[45:00] » Okay.

[45:05] » [snorts]

[45:07] » I'll make a motion to approve.

[45:08] » I second.

[45:09] » Okay, first by Terry.

[45:12] » [clears throat]

[45:14] » Second by Jim.

[45:16] Any other questions from council?

[45:20] Okay, any questions from the public?

[45:25] All right, all in favor?

[45:27] » Yes.

[45:27] » Opposed?

[45:30] Motion passes.

[45:32] All right.

[45:33] We'll leave this to uh

[45:35] adjournment of the Board of Adjustments

[45:37] and we'll reconvene the council meeting.

[45:40] Uh

[45:41] on the 10.1, um public hearings,

[45:45] consideration of option and lease

[45:46] agreement with Vertical Bridge.

[45:49] Um is Eric on the line?

[45:51] » Yes.

[45:52] » Yes.

[45:53] » He's still there.

[45:56] » Yeah.

[45:57] » Okay, Eric, do you want to take this

[45:58] one? Or Rick, are you taking it?

[46:01] » I either.

[46:02] » Okay.

[46:04] » [snorts]

[46:04] » Good evening, Mayor members of the

[46:05] council. Tonight's item is the public

[46:07] hearing consideration of an option and

[46:10] lease agreement with Vertical Bridge uh

[46:13] doing business as the Towers LLC. At the

[46:16] July 20th meeting, the council adopted a

[46:18] resolution 26-32

[46:22] declaring its intent to lease the

[46:23] property and set this public hearing in

[46:25] accordance with South Dakota codified

[46:27] law.

[46:28] The proposed location is adjacent to the

[46:30] Exit 32 Recycling Center on Dickson

[46:33] Drive.

[46:35] Uh it is important to understand that

[46:37] the approval of this agreement does not

[46:38] approve construction of a cell tower.

[46:41] This agreement simply grants the company

[46:43] the option to evaluate the site and if

[46:46] they decide to move forward enter into a

[46:48] lease.

[46:49] If the option is exercised, the project

[46:51] would still be

[46:52] uh required to comply with all the city

[46:54] zoning, building, flood plain

[46:57] applicable approval processes before any

[47:00] construction could occur.

[47:02] Uh some of the agreements highlights in

[47:04] this is the company would pay the city a

[47:06] $1,050

[47:08] option payment upon execution. Uh this

[47:11] option period is for 4 years, allowing

[47:14] the company to compete uh complete the

[47:16] due diligence and determine whether or

[47:18] not the site is actually suitable uh for

[47:20] their needs. If the option is never

[47:23] exercised, the agreement terminates with

[47:25] no further obligation.

[47:27] Uh if exercised, the lease begins with

[47:29] an initial 5-year term and up to seven

[47:32] additional 5-year renewals.

[47:34] Uh the lease also requires that the

[47:36] tenant remove uh its improvements and

[47:39] restore the property when the lease

[47:40] ends.

[47:42] Uh this proposed facility is expected to

[47:44] improve wireless coverage in the Exit 32

[47:46] area and the entire I-90 corridor.

[47:50] Uh benefits include improved service for

[47:52] residents, business, visitors, emergency

[47:55] responders, and travelers along that

[47:57] corridor.

[47:59] Uh

[48:01] the lease area would be located in a

[48:04] future utility lot. A preliminary plat

[48:07] has been approved by the planning

[48:08] commission and the final exhibit and

[48:11] legal description updates will occur

[48:12] after that plat is finalized and

[48:15] recorded with the register of deeds. Uh

[48:17] with that, I'd be happy to answer any

[48:19] questions you may have on this.

[48:21] And I I believe Vertical Bridge

[48:23] representatives are here as well.

[48:26] » All right.

[48:27] Any questions from council?

[48:31] All right.

[48:32] From the public?

[48:36] All right. Is there a motion?

[48:37] » I'd motion to approve.

[48:39] » I'll second.

[48:40] » First by Tony, second by Alex. All in

[48:42] favor?

[48:42] » Yes.

[48:43] » Yes.

[48:43] » Opposed?

[48:44] Motion passes.

[48:45] » Thank you.

[48:46] » Thanks, Rick.

[48:47] All right. On to reports. 11.1,

[48:51] uh resolution 2026-42,

[48:53] approval of the final plat for lots

[48:56] uh A-2-1 through A-2-7 of Hurley

[49:00] subdivision. So, this [snorts] one goes

[49:03] back to

[49:04] um approval of the variances in 9-5 and

[49:07] now we can approve the final plat if you

[49:09] guys so choose.

[49:12] So,

[49:13] any questions or comments from council

[49:15] on it?

[50:08] collection in the portfolio. It is a

[50:11] one-year extension. Tom's Tease has been

[50:16] a partner of the city since I've been

[50:29] they currently are.

[50:31] A few people know, but Tom's Tease was

[50:34] actually the very first licensee of the

[50:37] official Winged Icon brand marks. So,

[50:41] staff is requesting council's approval

[50:44] to proceed with the signing of this

[1:17:38] Motion passes.

[1:17:41] » Thank you.

[1:17:41] » Item 14.2,

[1:17:43] um Lance got a staff report.

[1:17:45] » Yes, this is uh consideration to approve

[1:17:48] the 2026 Harley-Davidson Motor Company

[1:17:51] advertising and sponsorship amendment.

[1:17:54] Uh this is a one-year amendment to their

[1:17:57] existing sponsorship.

[1:17:59] Uh Harley-Davidson, of course, needs no

[1:18:01] introduction in Sturgis.

[1:18:03] It's a world's most iconic motorcycle

[1:18:05] manufacturer.

[1:18:07] Harley-Davidson Motor Company is closely

[1:18:10] and endearingly associated with the City

[1:18:12] of Sturgis Motorcycle Rally

[1:18:14] and serves as a prominent rally sponsor.

[1:18:18] In 2020 In 2015, to commemorate the 75th

[1:18:22] rally, the city and Harley-Davidson

[1:18:25] formalized their long-term partnership

[1:18:28] through an agreement naming

[1:18:29] Harley-Davidson the official motorcycle

[1:18:31] of the City of Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

[1:18:34] The agreement celebrated the motor

[1:18:36] company's decades long association with

[1:18:39] Sturgis while looking forward to the

[1:18:41] next 75 years of that relationship. It

[1:18:44] also resulted in the creation of

[1:18:46] Harley-Davidson Rally Point which has

[1:18:49] become a valued and bustling permanent

[1:18:52] community gathering place and visible

[1:18:54] symbol of our partnership.

[1:18:58] The proposed 2026 sponsorship amendment

[1:19:01] extends the preliminary term of the

[1:19:04] legacy agreement

[1:19:06] for the 86th motorcycle rally

[1:19:09] and continues Harley-Davidson's

[1:19:11] long-standing commitment to the rally

[1:19:13] and the Sturgis community.

[1:19:15] During the 86th rally, Harley-Davidson

[1:19:17] will occupy designated city-owned and

[1:19:20] controlled property

[1:19:22] including the Sturgis Community Center

[1:19:24] and Rally Point and will receive

[1:19:26] promotional opportunities

[1:19:29] and other rights and privileges

[1:19:30] associated with the sponsorship.

[1:19:32] Accordingly, over the next few weeks,

[1:19:35] Harley-Davidson will act as a sponsor of

[1:19:37] the 24th annual Mayor's Ride

[1:19:40] and as a presenting sponsor at Military

[1:19:42] Appreciation Day to help honor all who

[1:19:45] have served.

[1:19:46] The city is proud to welcome

[1:19:48] Harley-Davidson back to Sturgis for the

[1:19:50] 86th rally

[1:19:52] and to continue a partnership that is

[1:19:53] important to the rally

[1:19:56] the Harley-Davidson community and the

[1:19:58] city of Sturgis.

[1:20:00] With that, staff is requesting council's

[1:20:02] approval to proceed with the mayor's

[1:20:04] signing of this amendment.

[1:20:08] » Any questions from council?

[1:20:12] All right, from the public?

[1:20:17] » I'll motion to approve.

[1:20:19] » First by Ruth.
