Planning Commission

Let’s talk decorum Rex Rolfing

While councilor Rex Rolfing worries about constituents wearing baseball caps at Carnegie Hall, I have a HUGE issue with the above picture of the Sioux Falls Planning Commission chair, Andi Anderson wearing a ‘Bender Commercial’ shirt while chairing the meeting tonight. It actually pales in comparison to when former councilor Diamond Jim used to wear clothing from his motorcycle dealership at council meetings.

As the land specialist for her employer Bender Commercial she should show NO bias in her duties as a planning commission member.

Either she didn’t have a couple of seconds to pull off the polo shirt before the meeting (with a turtle neck underneath) or she is testing the waters?

Either way, it is not appropriate.

I find it interesting that Mr. Cooper would be doing a media show in light of his recent testimony in the Walmart zoning hearings, in which Mr. Cooper is accused of doing some ‘internal’ zoning without the consent of ‘others’. Be interesting to see if anyone asks him about the hearings.

Sioux Falls Board of Adjustment to consider variance today

The new Subaru dealership on 85th & Minnesota is asking to change their buffer zone from 10′ to 0′ feet, essentially allowing them to park vehicles right up to Minnesota Avenue. As if it wasn’t bad enough they put up Pirate flags (that had to be taken down) and Walmart continues to build on land that may have been illegally re-zoned internally by a director acting alone, that area of town is becoming a real clusterf’ck.

The meeting is at 6 PM tonight at Carnegie Hall.
