The Dickinson Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on September 16, 2025, to revisit an application for a duplex development due to procedural issues from a previous meeting. The meeting began with a staff presentation outlining the reasons for the re-evaluation of the application.

The staff explained that the application was initially approved but had to be brought back for further consideration because of two main issues related to public notice requirements. First, the on-site sign announcing the public hearing went missing before the city council meeting. Second, the specific time and date of the meeting were not included on the sign. To address these concerns and ensure transparency, the staff took corrective measures, including photographing the posted signs and notarizing an affidavit confirming that all required notices were provided.

The staff also introduced a new reflective street sign decal that includes the meeting time and date, which will be used for future postings. The applicant expressed their intention to build a duplex on the site, and the staff noted that any development permitted in the urban transition zone would be allowed if the zoning is changed.

Following the staff presentation, there were no public comments or rebuttals regarding the application. The commission's decision on the duplex proposal will be influenced by the updated compliance with public notice requirements and the ongoing discussions about zoning regulations in the area.
