Public Hearing: Partial Demolition – Hudson Manufacturing – 200 West 2nd
HEDRA is asked to hold a public hearing to consider partial demolition of the former H.D. Hudson Manufacturing Building located at 200 West 2nd Street. The non-historic 1974 addition,
containing approximately 48,000 s.f. located along the northwest corner of the building is proposed for demolition. The remaining 100,000 s.f. building is not scheduled for demolition.
Partial demolition of the facility is consistent with long term planning. The 2003 Heart of Hastings Plan, 2008 Hastings Comprehensive Plan, and 2011 Hudson Reuse Study all exclude
the 1974 addition from future redevelopment\reuse plans for the site.
The 1974 addition is constructed of concrete tip-up panels with no windows and limited exterior treatment. The large featureless walls of the addition are inconsistent with the historic
downtown area. The location of the building only 50 feet from the Mississippi River restricts recreational use and serves as a trail constriction between neighboring Levee Park and
Jaycees Park
Notification of the meeting was published in the Hastings Star Gazette and mailed to all property owners within 350 feet of the site. The City has not received any comments regarding
the demolition since notification of the public hearing.
ACTION – Hold the public hearing and receive comment.
Approve Plans and Specifications\Authorize Advertisement: Partial Demolition – Hudson Manufacturing – 200 West 2nd Street.
HEDRA is asked to approve the attached plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for demolition of a portion of the Hudson Manufacturing Building located at 200 West 2nd Street.
The 48,000 s.f. 1974 addition is proposed for removal. The remaining 100,000 s.f. building is not scheduled for demolition.
In June, 2012 HEDRA awarded the contract to develop demolition plans and specifications to Short Elliot Hendrickson (SEH), Inc.
The engineers estimate for demolition and site restoration is $316,265. HEDRA has received $250,000 in grant funds from the Dakota Community Development Agency for the project. HEDRA
would be responsible for costs incurred above $250,000. In addition to grant funding, HEDRA allocated $250,000 from the Economic Development Fund Balance for demolition and environmental
costs in the 2012 budget.
The successful bidder would be responsible for completing demolition per the developed plans and specifications which include:
Remove the 48,000 s.f. 1974 addition
Remove adjacent parking lot south of addition
Remove retaining walls and exterior features.
Grade site to accommodate the 8-10 foot elevation drop between the parking lot and low floor elevation of the addition.
Provide erosion control and turf restoration
Provide asbestos and lead paint abatement, regulated waste removal and disposal.
Upon approval by HEDRA, the project would proceed as follows:
August 21st - 28th – Advertisement for bids
September 11th – Bid Opening
September 13th – Award contract at HEDRA meeting.
