Marshall Mitchell: Mitchell City Council to consider permit for townhouses across from Cabela's
Apr. 20—MITCHELL — During its regular meeting on Monday, April 21, the Mitchell City Council will consider staggering the mayoral and council election cycles, approving a contract with the Chamber of Commerce for use of the Corn Palace as a gift shop in 2026 and purchasing additional property for the Mitchell Regional Landfill at $3.48 million. Acting as the Board of Adjustment, the Mitchell City Council will review the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation to approve a conditional use permit for multi-family dwellings in a Highway Oriented Business District. If approved, the location will be the future home of a 10-unit townhouse development to be constructed by Jeremy Jensen of Jensen Design Build at the east corner of East Spruce Street and Urbana Drive south of Cabela's. The townhome development will feature two buildings, each containing five townhome units. ach unit will include two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an attached, finished, two-stall heated garage with floor drains. A private driveway will allow access to the townhouse parking via East Spruce Street. Pending approval, construction is to start this spring and finish by the end of the year. "Our homes are not tied to income requirements," Jensen told the Mitchell Republic. "We are able to work with our customers and their budget requests to be able to get them into affordable housing." In October 2023, this parcel was rezoned from urban development to highway business, according to City Planner Mark Jenniges. The parcel, south of East Spruce Street, is outside city limits and will need to be annexed in order to receive city water and sewer. "Historically, we've done 20% to 30% of new residential housing in Mitchell in the last four or five years," Jensen said. "We're doing mini affordable housing." In addition to considering staggering city election cycles, the gift shop contract and a landfill purchase, the council will also consider approving the Mitchell School District's request to vacate North Winsor Street, and approving speed and alcohol checkpoint grants for the Mitchell Police Department. The council will also convene as the Board of Adjustment for Doug and Heidi Gehrke for a variance permit for a 4,600 building at 304 N. Mattie St. A full agenda can be read on the city's website. The council meeting starts at 6 p.m. on Monday, April 21 at 612 N. Main St.
