Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown\/Stutsman Development Corporation (JSDC) Board of Directors voted for any decisions on membership in the South Central Dakota Regional Council to the Jamestown City Council and Stutsman County Commission.<\/p>\n

Regional Council Board, Chairman, Joe Neis asked the JSDC Board to consider requesting that Stutsman County and the city of Jamestown pay the dues owed to the Regional Council.<\/p>\n

The membership in the Regional Council belongs to the county although the dues, $34,800 for 2016, are split with Jamestown paying 63 percent and Stutsman County 37 percent.<\/p>\n

Mark Klose, chairman of the Stutsman County Commission and a member of the JSDC Board, said the county was not trying to be difficult.<\/p>\n

The request is on the Stutsman County Commission\u2019s meeting agenda today.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Planning Commission has approved a land use amendment and zoning change.<\/p>\n

The action clears the way for residential housing unit.<\/p>\n

A driveway location issue has postponed a preliminary replat request until its next meeting.<\/p>\n

SRF Consulting Group, Planner, Christopher Clanahan requested an amendment for lot one, block two of the Mill Hill second addition from commercial to medium density residential land use. The commission approved the amendment for property along the 600 block of 11th Street Southwest, where three twin homes are to be constructed on three lots.<\/p>\n

The commission also approved Clanahan\u2019s request for a zone change from C-2 (general commercial district) to R-2 (one to six family residential district). He said the client would also be pursuing a subdivision for the immediate area.<\/p>\n

Clanahan said the client would ask to continue the Sumac Ridge Addition preliminary replat of a portion of lot one, block two. The property meets all requirements of an R-2 district, he said, but a redesign is underway that would allow lot three access through 5th Avenue or 11th Street, as it is infringed by steep grading and the Jamestown Fire Department\u2019s substation.<\/p>\n

Following the commission\u2019s agenda, Joel Onsurez of Fargo said he and wife, Barbara, owners of Babb\u2019s Coffee House, wants a preliminary review of the Masonic Temple building they purchased eight years ago before going forward with a zone change application.<\/p>\n

Onsurez said he bought the building to preserve the original woodwork and prevent it from being gutted for multiple apartments. The couple intended to use the large hall for events and dinners.<\/p>\n

The building did not sell, and now the couple would like to make it their primary residence. It would be used for an aromatherapy business with one apartment rental on a lower level that would not change the character of the building.<\/p>\n

The current C-2 zoning requires development of the building to have a minimum of four apartment units.<\/p>\n

The application process will determine if a zone change is appropriate, but a pre-application walkthrough was possible.<\/p>\n

Grove adds that the number of people resigning for other jobs has been consistent over the last three years, but the number of retirements and dismissals was up.<\/p>\n

State Hospital superintendent, Rosalie Etherington says, the number of staff openings for nurses is also at an all-time high.<\/p>\n
