Commission recommends plat approval for Shangri‑La Addition on Arthur Ave
Summary
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of a two‑lot plat (Shangri‑La Addition) for light‑industrial development on Arthur Avenue; staff cited geotechnical recommendations and required easements, and the applicant requested a 6.5‑foot front‑setback variance for Lot 2.
The Pierre City Planning Commission on April 27 recommended approval of the plat of Lots 1 and 2, Shangri‑La Addition, a 2.117‑acre replat on the northeast corner of Elizabeth Street and Arthur Avenue. Applicant Clint Freeman (Shangri‑La Properties, LLC) proposed Lot 1 at approximately 1.171 acres and Lot 2 at approximately 0.946 acres, with planned buildings of roughly 4,800 sq. ft. and 7,000 sq. ft., respectively, intended for storage or business use in the Light Industrial zoning district.
City staff told the commission that geotechnical reviews recommend footings supported on a minimum of two feet of engineered fill and that existing utility services are stubbed to the lots. A 10‑foot utility easement was added along Arthur Avenue and a 20‑foot easement along the south side of Lot 2 to capture storm sewer infrastructure. Freeman said the site’s topography is challenging but that the investment is worthwhile. The applicant requested a variance to allow a 6.5‑foot encroachment into the 30‑foot front setback on Lot 2; staff recommended approval of the plat and the commission voted unanimously to recommend approval to the City Commission.
