City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers
From: John Hinzman, Community Development Director
Date: May 6, 2019
Item: Order Public Hearing– Vacation of ROW #2019-13 – Todd Field
Council Action Requested:
Order a public hearing to consider vacating portions of right-of-way underlying Todd
Field as requested by ISD 200. The proposed vacated areas include Eddy Street between
10th Street and TH 55 and the adjoining alleys platted within Block 77 and 78, TOWN
OF HASTINGS. Upon action by the Council, the public hearing and final approval
would be scheduled for the May 20, 2019 City Council Meeting. A simple majority is
necessary for action.
Background Information:
History – The right-of-way was established upon the platting of the original Town of
Hastings in 1857. Development of Todd Field began in 1932 and the first football game
was played in 1934. The City has no record of the right-of-ways ever being vacated.
Existing Condition – The entirety of the proposed vacated areas lie beneath Todd Field
and the adjoining parking lot to the west.
Proposed Condition – ISD 200 plans various improvements to the stadium area
including building renovations and installation of synthetic turf consistent with April 15,
2019 Site Plan Approval.
Vacation Procedure – Hastings Home Rule Charter Section 7.05 regulates the vacation
of streets and alleys. The City Council may consider vacating public ways upon
published and mailed notice to affected property owners.
Recommendation – Approval of the vacation is recommended. The proposed area does
not contain any public utilities and the City does not have plans to improve the proposed
right-of-ways.
