Unapproved Minutes Council Special Session March 1, 2021 Monday 12:00 noon The special session of the City Council, City of Vermillion, South Dakota was held on Monday, March 1, 2021 at 12:00 noon at the City Hall large conference room. 1. Roll Call Present: Hellwege, Holland, Humphrey, Jennewein, Letellier, Price, Ward, Willson, Mayor Collier-Wise (all joined by teleconference) 2. Visitors to be Heard - None 3. Informational Session – Bliss Pointe Phase 2 Development plans – VCDC President/CEO - Nate Welch Nate Welch, VCDC President/CEO, provided the history of the Bliss Pointe housing development that started with the VCDC purchase of the land in 2013 and Phase I improvements completed in 2014. Nate noted that the VCDC will be selling the last of the housing sites in Phase I shortly. Nate reported that the goal was to provide workforce housing in the community by increasing the inventory of homes available. Nate reviewed the change in the ordinance to shift away from multifamily in Phase II due to the number of multifamily housing being constructed in the community. Nate reviewed the process used by the VCDC for planning Phase II that consisted of a committee that worked with Banner Associates to develop the Phase II plan. Nate reported on the options reviewed by the committee for the center block. Nate stated that the smaller lot size with front yard facing the street and garage in back off the private drive would allow for smaller and hopefully less expensive homes. Nate reviewed the option of the layout for the center lot with the smaller lot sizes and private drive. Nate answered questions of the City Council on the Phase II plan, workforce housing, private drive, HOA fees, berms or fencing for safety along Stanford Street, alley option in center block and the lot size ordinance. Jose reported that the Planning and Zoning Commission, when presented with the preliminary plat of the center block in August 2020 with the proposed alley and smaller lots size, approved the preliminary plat without a public alley. Nate noted that is why the center block currently lists a private drive and a HOA would be required to pay the costs of snow removal. Discussion followed on the berm or fence along Stanford Street noting the need to have a uniform appearance. Nate suggested that including the fencing requirement in the deed covenants instead of in the ordinance will allow property owners to construct the fence when completed so it is not in the way during construction. 1 Discussion followed on the private drive with the consensus of the City Council that it would be better if it was a city alley thus no HOA fees that could discourage development. Discussion included the timeline for the TIF 7 plan, the project costs to include in the TIF #7 plan, amount to include in the TIF #7 bond issue, timing of the bond issue as it applies to starting construction date and bond closing for when funds would be available for granting the construction costs to the VCDC. John noted that for tonight’s meeting the ordinance change is to reduce the lot size in the Bliss Pointe development that would allow the option of smaller lots in the center block. The Mayor asked for a memo that outlined the remaining items.
