Requirements for Collecting Location Information in South Dakota
Rural Addressing System
South Dakota has a rural addressing system in place [2.3]. Each occupied house, occupied building, or other occupied structure within a county’s boundaries shall be assigned a separate rural address [2.2]. Each area of separate occupancy in a building or another occupied structure shall be assigned a separate rural address and an apartment number or suite number [2.3].
Location Number Assignment
Location numbers are assigned to each location within the unincorporated area of a county [2.4]. A location number is a five-digit number. The first three digits are the number of the grid line just passed to the north or west of the location which is most nearly perpendicular to the thoroughfare on which the location lies. The last two digits are the lot number within the section where the location or the primary access road to the location lies. Even-numbered lots are located on the north or east side of the thoroughfare and odd-numbered lots are located on the south or west side of the thoroughfare [2.1].
Access-Location Criteria
The South Dakota Access-Location Criteria shall be used to determine whether or not an access permit is granted, and if granted, the location of the access [1.1]. An engineering study of sight distance, corner clearance, operational efficiency, safety and adjacent land use may also be conducted by department personnel prior to granting access and may alter the criteria shown in the table [1.1].
Variance from Access-Location Criteria
The area engineer may grant a variance from the access-location criteria in § 70:09:02:01. The granting of the variance shall be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this chapter. No variance may be considered until other feasible options for meeting access-location criteria are explored. Any applicant for a variance from these criteria shall provide proof of unique or special conditions that make strict application of the provisions impractical [1.2].
Record Keeping Requirements
Distributors and owners or operators of mechanical or electronic amusement devices shall keep, at each licensed place of business, complete and accurate records for that place of business. The records kept by distributors and owners or operators of mechanical or electronic amusement devices must include invoices of mechanical or electronic amusement devices held, purchased, leased, manufactured, brought in or caused to be brought in from outside of South Dakota, or shipped or transported to operators in South Dakota, and of all sales of mechanical or electronic amusement devices made. Distributors and owners of mechanical or electronic amusement devices shall maintain records of names, addresses, and sales tax license numbers of operators to whom mechanical or electronic amusement devices are sold or leased [3.1].
Conclusion
Based on the context documents, it appears that you can collect location information from participants in South Dakota, but there are certain requirements that must be followed. These requirements include the rural addressing system, location number assignment, access-location criteria, variance from access-location criteria, and record keeping requirements.
