• State Statute: 11.1 Review Process
SDCL 1-19A-11.1, or “11.1 Review” process as it is referred to by
the Brookings Historic Preservation Commission, begins with a
permit request for a project involving a historic property. This
permit request is submitted to the City Planner, who determines
whether the project has the potential to damage, destroy, or en-
croach upon a historic property. If it is determined that the proj-
ect does have that potential, the City Planner then notifies the
SHPO of the project. Upon receiving the notification, SHPO may
request a Case Report, which is the responsibility of the local 727 Main Avenue, also known as
government, who may also request that the applicant help pre- the Cobel, Ivan House, is individually
pare it. In these cases, the BHPC may also review and comment designated in the National Register of
on the Case Report. The Case Report and any comments are then Historic Places. (W&Co, 2020)
submitted to the SHPO for review and comment on whether
the permit application should be approved. If SHPO determines
the project will not damage, destroy, or encroach upon historic
property, a permit can be issued; however, if it is found the proj-
ect will damage, destroy or encroach upon historic property, the
City cannot issue the permit unless it is determined there are no
feasible and prudent alternatives and that all possible planning
to minimize harm to the historic property is being completed.

A flowchart explaining the full 11.1 review process can be seen
on the preceding page. The “11.1 Review Process” webpage on
the City of Brookings website includes a series of other helpful
forms and informational pages to explain the 11.1 Review Pro-
cess.
• Statewide Preservation Plan (2021 – 2025)
The South Dakota Statewide Preservation Plan is a guide for
preservation efforts taken on by communities, preservation
organizations, and individuals throughout the state. It seeks to
establish priorities and direction for historic preservation in
South Dakota over a five year period. After recognizing a series
of new opportunities for preservation to take advantage of,
including heritage tourism, the Plan notes a range of threats
to historic resources throughout the state including neglect,
natural resources, lack of awareness and economic development
pressures. The Plan outlines a series of goals to accomplish over
the next five years that focus on the National Register, Cultural
Resources, Planning and Historic Context Development, the Re-
view and Compliance Program, Certified Local Governments, the
Grant and Tax Incentive Program, and Historical Markers.
