Commission approves liquor license, land rezone for single family lot and inmate‑housing contract amendment
Summary
At its Nov. 25 meeting Lincoln County approved a liquor license for Good Earth Farm LLC, a zoning change to allow a single‑family dwelling on a Huizinga Farms parcel, and a contract amendment raising the daily inmate‑housing rate with Minnehaha County; votes were taken by roll call.
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners approved routine items on the Nov. 25 agenda including:
Good Earth Farm LLC liquor license — After a brief public hearing the applicant, Nancy Kirstein, told commissioners the venue is a seasonal on‑sale operation (currently closed, expected to reopen in May). The board voted to approve the on‑sale liquor license for the premises described on the agenda.
Huizinga Farms rezone — Commissioners considered a second reading to change the zone for Lot 2 of Tract 3 of Huizinga Farms from A‑1 agricultural to a Planned Development (PDD) that would permit one single‑family dwelling and an accessory building on the 6.08‑acre parcel. Toby Brown and the applicant described the plan and staff analysis; no public opponents appeared and the board voted to approve the ordinance.
Prisoner‑housing contract amendment — Sheriff Swanson asked the board to accept a Minnehaha County contract amendment raising the daily rate for prisoner care from $112 to $131.90, effective Jan. 1. Commissioners approved the contract amendment, noting the sheriff's office is using ankle‑monitoring programs to reduce jail population where possible.
Each item was adopted by motion and roll‑call vote; the minutes and formal contract documents will be posted to county records.
