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.
Public Notice – Notice of the vacation was mailed to all property owners within 350 feet
of the request. No comments have been received at this time.
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.
