SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - A joint meeting of the Minnehaha County Commission and Dell Rapids City Council today deferred a rezoning request on property just west of Dells from commercial to residential.
Petitioner Daniel Witte wants to build a house and the delay will give him time to persuade the city council to approve the plan.
Witte told both bodies today that he intends leaving some of the propery commercial just in case the city decides to move west in the next twenty to thirty years. He says that allows him to have the property to develop if he needs to.
The Commission and Council will reconsider the request August 25th.
