The Huron City Commission meeting as the Board of Adjustment approved a variance by Sunbird Incorporated to put an addition on a building at their complex near the South Dakota State Fairgrounds. Advance Sunflower’s Danny Dale represented Sunbird at the meeting and says the building would be used to clean processing equipment….
Dale says they won’t be cleaning the machinery’s sprockets and gears in the wash bay…
Conditions approved by the Board of Adjustments include Sunbird finding the correct property lines before building and installing traps to collect the greasy sunflower by product being removed by the steaming process. The water used is to be piped to the sanitary sewer instead of the outdoor storm sewers. There will be some discussion with city departments on the proper disposal of the material washed off the equipment. Other conditions of the variance include valley gutters and the concreting of the driveway to the new building. And limited storage of materials outside of the building to maintain some visibility for traffic.
