HASTINGS l'LANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF MEETING ON MAY 9, 1967
Members present:
Soleim, Siebrecht, Fischer, Bauer, Fluegel, Nelson and Petersen.
Guests present! Mr. & Mrs. Schumacher, Engels, Steffes, Johnson, Jefferson, Mann.
Mr. Harry S. Johnson briefly outlined the design of the plat, dwelling mainly on
the typographical features of the area in relation to the design.
The first point that was generally agreed upon was that the width of pleasant
Drive was to be 80 feet, the width of the Farm Street and 4th Street extensions
would be 66 feet, and the width of all other streets within the plat would be
60 feet. Also. that the entry from the present 4th Street into the plat would
be curned to remove the abrupt angular turn.
The Commission requested that there be no driveway entrances from lots along
Pleasant Drive. This was thoroughly discussed. In regards to this point, Mr.
Johnson agreed to try to redßsign the plat so that Pleasant Drive would run
straight thru the plat instead of its present proposed loc~tion, thereby limiting
the numbe1: of lots that would be facing this drive. Also, that the lots that
still faced Pleasant D1:ive would be wide enough to allow "turn-arounds" in the
driveways, so that the necessity of backing out into the drive would be eliminated.
The Commission request that the number of cul-de-sacs be reduced or eliminated
was also thoroughly discussed. It was agreed that Mr. Johnson would see if the
number of these features could be reduced and that those that have to remain
would have a radius of 68 feet. '
The advantages and disadvantages of requi1:ing "walk-ways" between street were
thoroughly discussed and it was generally decided that the disadvantages more-
or-less outweighed the advantages and that this commission requirement was dropped.

This memo is in regards to the matter 1 brought to the attention of the
Planning group after the last meeting on May 9th was adjourned.
I reported to you that I received a request from a Mr. Clair Johnson of
1338 W. 18th St. who stated that he represented a group of seven homeotmers
in his area that were getting together to try to enforce their contractor
to correct alleged construction defects in their homes, This group wanted
to talk to some City Official and have the present Bastings Building Code
explained to thenofficially.
My personal feeling regarding this request was that the City or any City
Official should not become involved in a dispute of thts type, since the
matter was strictly between the homeowners and their contractor. The
advisory group concurred.
1 reported this ta Mr. Johnson the next day.
However, perhaps I used poor judgement in handling this request in that I
should have investigated the actual complaints that these hanecnmers had
before I unofficially approached the Planning Commission for advice.
Mr. Erickson, the City Clerk and 1 checked four homeowners in this area
the next day and of these four only Mr. Lou Jacques had a valid complaint
and his contractor had contacted him to see what could be done to correct
his difficulties.

CORRECTION OF THE HIN1nES OF THE MAY 9th MEE'lING C11 THE HASTINGS PLANNING CœlMISSlON
It was my impress~on that after the pros and cons of the des~reab~lity
of having walkways strategically located in Mr. Schumacher's plat was discussed,
that we more-or-less agreed that the Commission ,~ld drop this feature as a
requirement.
However, this was not the caséand the Commission still feels that
this feature should be 8tud~ed in more detail with Mr.. Schumacher and his
representatives.
