Planning Commission Staff Report January 3, 2018 Laura Abernathy, Planning Coordinator Plat – City of Sturgis/Sturgis Economic Development Corp (SEDC), Lots JA-1, JA-2, JA-3 of the NW ¼ NW ¼ of Section 15 and the NE ¼ NE ¼ of Section 16
Background/History In the mid-2000s, the South Dakota Department of Transportation rescinded its authority of Junction Avenue to the City of Sturgis after the completion of the new Interstate 90 Exit 32 interchange. At the time, Junction Avenue was classified as South Dakota Highway 79. From the intersection of Harmon Street south to the Interstate 90 interchange, Junction Avenue has a total of 132’ of right-of-way. This deviates from the typical right-of-way found on Junction Avenue, which follows the 66’ section line right-of-way from Harmon Street north to Bear Butte Road (commonly known as Sly Hill Road). The City has begun the process to surplus the excess right-of-way on the western side of the 2300 block of Junction Avenue. The first step in this process is to plat portions of the right-of-way, as shown on the attached plat to be considered at the January 3 meeting, which reflects Lots JA-1, JA-2, and JA-3 of the NW ¼ NW ¼ of Section 15 and the NE ¼ NE ¼ of Section 16. Pending approval of the plat, the City would transfer the property to SEDC, who would then sell portions of Lots JA-1, JA-2, and JA-3 to the adjacent landowners, who concur with the project. The outcome will result in seven uniform lots that will conform with the Highway Service standards in lot size, width, and frontage requirements. This exchange of property will be reflected in another plat to be considered in the near future. Recommendations The City has consulted with all of the involved parties and has determined that the plat submitted will work in the best interests of those involved. Per Title 18.05.12 of the City Ordinance, all lots in a Highway Service zoning district must have a lot width no less than 100’ abutting a public right-of-way. In normal circumstances, a plat similar to the one being considered would not be approved. However, due to City surplus policies and the ultimate goal of the project, City staff would recommend to approve the plat as submitted. A plat to be considered in the near future will address the frontage issue and reflect those new lots incorporating the land from the lots presented on this plat. Budget Impact Pending the sale of the land to the landowners via SEDC, the City would receive a portion of those proceeds.
