Brian Garafalo and Sue Ghere-Garofalo, 1215 & 1211 East St. Francis addressed the Council asking that the Conditional Use Permit be denied. Brian indicated he would like to ensure that his neighborhood remains a family-friendly community. He indicated the five closes structures to 1241 East Saint Joseph Street are single-family residents with children. He suggested no amount of alcohol sales revenues justifies the decline of quality of life that his neighborhood will experience by allowing a bar at this location. Sue indicated she presented the Planning Commission with petitions she had circulated, supporting the denial of the Conditional Use Permit. She presented another set of petitions that did not support a bar being located in the neighborhood. With the aid of an overhead, Sue pointed out the size of her neighborhood, the number of homes on the block, the number of businesses along St. Patrick Street, listed the number of liquor and casino establishments in the vicinity of the neighborhood. Because of the 5

6 number of children in the neighborhood, Sue indicated there is no need for another bar. Warner Ghere, 2202 Cherry Avenue commented he has lived in this area a long time and there have been several bars in the proposed location, and most were a problem. He offered no support for another bar at the proposed location. Carl Douglas, 1233 East St. Francis reported his home is across the street from the proposed location of the bar. He explained his children bring friends home to play, and he has bible study in his home, and on Sunday conducts an informal church worship. He indicated that at this point, it has been relatively safe for the children in this neighborhood. He did report that speedy motorists are sometimes a problem on this street. He asked the Council to keep children and families in mind when deliberating their decision. Doyle Estes, petitioner, indicated the site that is proposed for an alcohol license is zoned for commercial. He indicated this is a liquor establishment to be operated in conjunction with a full service restaurant. He suggested it is improper to characterize this as a bar. He reported there is sufficient off-street parking; and suggested there is no undue concentration of alcohol licenses in the area. He explained this property is sufficiently buffered from the residential area. Estes asked for approval of the Conditional Use Permit. Growth Management Director Elkins, responding to a question from Alderman Kooiker, explained the Council could stipulate as a condition that no casino be allowed at this location; or, if a beer license is transferred to this site, the license be reviewed and denoted whether or not it is with video lottery. Johnson moved to amend by adding an additional stipulation that video lottery shall not be allowed at 1241 East Saint Joseph Street. Second by Schumacher.

No action was taken. LEGAL & FINANCE COMMITTEE ITEMS Alderman Johnson brought forward for discussion, the downtown holiday lights purchase. Alderman Kooiker reported receiving a telephone call from Tom Vucurevich, who generously offered $10,000 in the form of matching funds of the downtown business owners and the City. Kooiker extended his appreciation for the generous offer. Steve Rolinger on behalf of the United Downtown Association indicated they reviewed proposals brought before them in 2004, and their final recommendation was $33,000 for the purchase of the holiday lights. Rolinger explained that if their group would have come before the Council with a proposal, they would have made an effort to provide a twenty-five percent match. Rolinger indicated they would like the opportunity to conduct a fund raising campaign, but was not certain that task could be completed in time to purchase new lights for this holiday season. Recreation Division Manager, Lowe explained the Parks Department will put up the existing lights and will allocate $2,000 for repair of the existing lights before putting them up for the holiday season. He indicated new lights could not be ordered in time to receive them for this holiday season. Alderman Olson suggested the best solution is to use the current lights with some repair. She made note that the Chamber handled the purchase of the current lights. One of their Chamber mixers was devoted to raise funds; and suggested that this may still be a possibility. Olson moved, second by Hurlbut that the City use the current lights with the idea that the City move ahead actively to assure that new lights are available and a partnership created to fund that, between the City and other entities. Motion carried. Alderman Chapman brought forward for discussion, the Development Appeals and Review Board powers and reminded the Council that the DARB is currently a recommending body. Alderman Olson suggested this discussion is more appropriate at a Legal & Finance Committee meeting where the Committee can initiate the appropriate discussion, what the parameters might be, and then have something to bring before the Council. Olson moved, second by Hurlbut to refer the Development Appeals and Review Board powers discussion to the November 2, 2005 Legal & Finance Committee meeting. Alderman Johnson indicated this discussion has already occurred before the Legal & Finance Committee. He explained an ordinance was presented for first reading, and the Committee denied the 8

9 consideration. Johnson indicated the DARB should remain a recommending body and not a final decision making board. Substitute motion was made by Johnson to continue the Development Appeals and Review Board as a recommending body. Second by Chapman. Alderman Hadcock noted there are individuals who wish to address this issue and possibly bring forward another option for an ordinance at the November 16, 2005 Legal & Finance Committee meeting. Alderman Kooiker indicated it is important to note that three years ago several Council members, including him, recommended eliminating the Building Code Board of Appeals because the DARB was considered to be a duplication of efforts. He indicated an ordinance should be discussed that would set up a process similar to the Planning Commission. He explained the process and suggested it would speed up the process so that it does not delay things and it also gives appropriate venue to the Council. Second substitute motion was made by Kooiker to refer the Development Appeals and Review Board powers discussion to the November 1, 2005 Public Works Committee meeting. Second by Schumacher. Discussion continued. With the consent of the Council, Alderman Kooiker withdrew the second substitute motion. Second substitute motion was made by Kooiker to table. Second by Schumacher.

Dated this 17 th day of October, 2005 ATTEST: s/ James F. Preston Finance Officer (SEAL) THE CITY OF RAPID CITY s/ Jim Shaw, Mayor The motion for adoption of the foregoing Resolution was seconded by Johnson. In response to a question from Alderman Hadcock, Growth Management Director Elkins explained there are funds that have been set aside in the Capital Improvement Plan to upfront the cost of this lift station to replace the existing life station.

13 Olson moved, second by Okrepkie to (No. PW ) authorize the Mayor and Finance Officer to sign an Agreement between the City of Rapid City and 3T s Land Development, LLC to Allow a Portion of Minnesota Street to Encroach on a City-Owned Reservoir Lot; allow the easement to be moved from the north property line to the west property line; require that the sidewalk be constructed by the developer at such time the City deems it necessary. City Attorney Green responding to a question from Alderman Johnson explained the amended agreement implements the recommendations that came forward from the Legal & Finance Committee. The difference is that the amended agreement did not require the developer to immediately install the sidewalk. It allows the developer to post surety and to complete the sidewalk installation at a later date. Johnson suggested this would be difficult for the City to enforce and indicated this is not a good situation. Assistant City Attorney Landeen indicated the developer does not want to pay for the sidewalk. Because the City did not share in the cost to the build the road, the City should be responsible for building the sidewalk. Landeen urged the Council to approve the original agreement that required the building of the sidewalk. Landeen indicated the easement will be on the west side. Substitute motion was made by Johnson to authorize the Mayor and Finance Officer to sign an original Agreement between the City of Rapid City and 3T s Land Development, LLC with the easement moved to the west side.
