Notices and Requests
Authorize Auditor to Publish Notice of Public Hearing on April 23, 2024 to Consider an Application for an Annual Retail (On-Off Sale) Wine and Cider License
ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT
Scott Anderson, Planning Director, was present for the public hearing and gave second reading on an ordinance amendment to clarify long-term lease or rental of property in Minnehaha County. The proposed amendment would add a section to the Additional Use Regulations that states that it is not the intent of the Zoning Ordinance to prohibit the long-term lease or rental of property provided the use is legal. This would apply to the lease of property such as farmland, mini storage units, residential leases and other long-term rental or leases of property. The ordinance amendment was approved by the Planning Commission during the February 26, 2024 meeting.
Chair Karsky asked for the proponents and opponents to speak on the proposed ordinance amendment. There were no proponents and opponents in attendance to speak on the topic.
MOTION by Kippley, seconded by Bender, to Approve Ordinance MC 16-181-24A, an Amendment to Ordinance MC16-90, The Revised Zoning Ordinance for Minnehaha County by Amending Additional Use Regulations. By roll call vote: 5 ayes.
The entire ordinance is available and on file at the Auditor's Office.
SOLID WASTE PERMIT
Kevin Hoekman, Planner, was present for the public hearing to consider a solid waste permit #23-03 for the purpose a tree grinding operation on the property legally described as the SW 1/4 (Ex. CO AUD Lot H-1 & R-1) of Section 14-T102N-R49W, Mapleton Township. The site for the tree grinding operation is located at the northwest corner of the 467th Avenue and E 84th Street intersection. The Minnehaha County Solid Waste Ordinance defines tree branches and other similar materials as rubble, and defines a rubble site as a site where rubble is deposited. Recent tree grinding operations in Minnehaha County raised awareness of the need for this type of operation to obtain a solid waste permit. The operation was already heard and approved as a conditional use permit for this tree grinding operation, which included a condition of approval that a new conditional use permit is required prior to January 2029. This will be a few months before the solid waste permit will expire. The State DANR has explained that they do not require a state license for this type of solid waste facility due to the fact that the petitioner is only allowed to accept clean, untreated, unpainted, and unstained wood.
Chair Karsky asked for proponents and opponents to speak on the topic. Public comment either for or against the Solid Waste Permit was received from Amy Johnson and Glenn Furstenberg.
MOTION by Kippley, seconded by Bender, to Approve Solid Waste Permit #23-03 for Delta Wood Products Tree Grinding Operation on the property legally described as the SW1/4 (Ex. CO AUD Lot H-1 & R-1) of Section 14-T102N-R49W, Mapleton Township. By roll call vote: 5 ayes.

In November of 2021, Minnehaha County received an invitation to be considered for an Equitable Housing Demonstration grant through the MacArthur Foundation. This grant is to address community-driven efforts that will reduce both homelessness and jail incarceration rates for people at heightened risk to experience both. In December of 2021, the Minnehaha County Commission authorized the submission of a Letter of Interest, which was accepted and advanced in the grant process, resulting in Minnehaha County Commission's approval to submit a Request for Proposal. Minnehaha County was successful in being selected as one of four sites to receive this grant funding and in May of 2022, the County Commission signed an agreement with the MacArthur Foundation to accept the $90,200.00 to being the planning phase of the grant. Since then, the project has been renamed the Just Home Demonstration Project and Minnehaha County has engaged with local partners and stakeholders to develop housing opportunities along with services and digital tracking mechanisms. This lead to the development of a Housing Investment Action Plan that was accepted by the Urban Institute and Minnehaha County is ready to receive the remaining grant funding in the amount of $640,000.00 to implement the Housing Investment Action Plan. MOTION by Bender, seconded by Bleyenberg, to Accept the MacArthur Foundation Grant for the Just Home Project and Authorize the Chair to Sign an Agreements with The Urban Institute, University of South Dakota, South Dakota Urban Indian Health, Augustana Research Institute, and St. Francis House.

ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT
Kevin Hoekman, Planner, was present for the public hearing and gave the second reading to consider revisions to the Revised Joint Zoning Ordinance for Minnehaha County and the City of Sioux Falls related to regulations for intermodal shipping/storage containers. Shipping containers are increasingly being used for various purposes, including individual storage and as building blocks for construction throughout Minnehaha County. The increase in the use of shipping containers is leading to increased complaints by neighbors concerned about the unsightliness of the metal. Regulations regarding the use of shipping containers do not currently exist in the zoning ordinance, but the most recent building code book includes a section to regulate the use of shipping containers like a building material for larger structures such sheds and even houses. The proposed ordinance amendment makes changes to three sections of the zoning ordinance. The greatest among of change takes place in the accessory building section of the Additional Use chapter of the ordinance. Regulations for intermodal shipping/storage containers are included with the general requirements and specific to each zoning district. The temporary use section will add a 90-day allowance for shipping containers without a building permit, along with the addition of a definition in the Definitions chapter. A review of the ordinance began at the Joint Planning Commission on January 22nd with a review of an ordinance adopted for the county outside the joint jurisdiction. A final draft was reviewed on February 26, 2024, and the Joint Planning Commission unanimously voted to approve the proposed amendment.
