Jim Schumacher is proposing to build a 396 square foot garage at 316 4 Street West. The
property is subject to Original Hastings Design Standard (OHDS) requirements because the
proposed improvements change the exterior of a structure and exceed 5% of the home’s current
building market value. Therefore, the proposal is subject to Planning Commission review and
City Council approval.

approval of the garage based on the OHDS review.

OHDS REVIEW
OHDS Intent
Original Hastings Design Standards (OHDS) preserve and enhance traditional neighborhood
design by reflecting the general characteristics of buildings dating from 1845 to 1940, which is the
predominate era for building construction within the OHDS District. OHDS regulations ensure
traditional neighborhood design by incorporating design features such as alleys, carriage houses,
front porches, period sensitive housing design, sidewalks, and traditional street lighting. Design
standards create and enhance the character of older neighborhoods by establishing regulation to
guide property development and rehabilitation consistent with the unique historic character of the
neighborhood. The OHDS are derived from the Design Guidelines for Original Hastings,
adopted in 2003 by the City Council as part of the Heart of Hastings Master Plan. OHDS
regulations are located found in Chapter 10.14, Subd. 4 of the Hastings City Code.
Materials
The applicant is proposing to use either cement board or WP4 siding on the garage. Per the OHDS
guidelines, either of these types of siding is acceptable provided there is a maximum of 5 inches
exposed. The siding will be painted to match the home. In addition, the applicant proposes to use
asphalt shingles on the roof of the garage.
