Walter Petersen~ Ghairman Hastings Planning Commission CITY OF HASTINGS Office of ENGINEER HASTINGS, MINNESOTA, 55033 MINUTES OF HASTINGS PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MONDAY, MAY 26, 1969 The Planning Commission meeting was held at 8:00 P.M. Those present were Mr. Walt Petersen, Mr. Don Hallberg, Mr. Arland Siebrecht, Mr. Skip Soleim, Mr. Ed Fischer, Mr. Orvin Moen. Guests present were Mr. John Davidson, Mr. Jack Richards, Mr. Dick Fox and Mr. Ron VanVleet representing the Hastings Jaycees. The first item of discussion was the vacation of Oak Street which was referred to the Planning Commission by the Council at the last regular meeting. This was turned over to a study committee consisting of Mr. Moen, Mr. Siebrecht, and Mr. Hallberg. Mr. Davidson was requested to sit in on the subcommittee meeting. We must check to see if it is feasible to vacate the street and main- tain a 20 foot pedestrian walkway between 13th and 14th Streets and 14th and 15th Streets. Also reserve the necessary easements for storm sewers and gas- mains which are presently in place in the Oak Street right-of-way. The next item discussed was a proposal by Strong Advertisement Company represented by Mr. Charles Gegen for a sign to be placed on the Peavey Mill property, at approximately the south line of the leased property by the Hastings Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Jack Richards gave testimony that the Chamber would agree with the decision of the Planning Commission in regard to place- ment of this sign, however they were not taking a position advocating that the sign be placed. In return for placement of the sign, Strong Advertising had agreed to place a smaller sign which would identify the park as a Chamber of Commerce facility. A motion was made by Mr. Soleim, seconded by Mr. Fischer thai this sign be denied. The vote was unanimous. The next item discussed was a proposal by Mr. Vince Ralphe in regard to his rezoning petition for his property adjacent to School District 200 property, west of Pine Street, from approximately 1 lth Street to Trunk Highway 55. He was mainly concerned with the first block between 10th and 1 lth Streets and requested that if he should purchase lots 1 through 4, block 16 of Allison's Addition, which front on Pine Street, if he would be allowed to construct an interior horseshoe street within this parcel for construction of a multiple dwelling unit, west of Pine Street. It was suggested that the City Engineer meet with Mr. Jim Horan in regard to a north-south roadway between the school property and the Vince Ralphe property for connection from llth Street to the South Frontage Road along Trunk Highway 55. The Planning Commission would consider a multiple dwelling unit Planning Commission Meeting Minutes held Monday, May 26, 1969 Page 2. with the purchase of the Erickson property, subject to a final plat being submitted by Mr. Ralphe showing a site plan of the building and parking areas. It was also suggested that the engineer check into the feasibility of serving this area with existing utilities in Pine Street either at 10th or llth Street for sewer and water connections. The Engineer explained that the water is already in place in llth Street which would be available to this property and the sewer depth at 10th Street is considerably lower than that at llth Street and would probably require constructing a sewer in 10th Street from Pine to 132 ft. west in order to serve this property. The other possibility would be a north-south sewer in the proposed connection road between 1 lth Street and Trunk Highway 55, in which case the sewage would be carried to the Pr airie Street Pumping Station at Trunk Highway 55 and Prairie Street. The Watermain could also be constructed from Trunk Highway 55 where there is a 12" water- main in place to tie into the 6" watermain extended by School District Z00 in llth Street for circulation. The next item discussed was a proposal by Kranz Printing to print our Subdivision Ordinance. I went over the proposal with the Planning Commission. The Chairman Mr. Petersen advised that Mr. Hodne was supposed to furnish us 50 copies of the Subdivision Ordinance in a booklet form as part of his contractrual agreement. Mr. Petersen was going to contact Mr. Hodne to secure these ordinamces. Mr. Fischer also agreed to run off ten copies of our existing zoning ordinance to have available until our new zoning ordinance has been adopted. The Planning Commission reviewed the rewritten Zoning Ordinance as prepared by Mr. Walt Petersen. It was an overall review of the ordinance with no specific changes at this time other than on page 8, paragraph 3. 5. It was suggested that we define essential services, public and private. This would cover private utilities such as electric, gas and telephone utilities. The Planning Commission meeting adjourned at approximately 9:30 P.M. It was suggested that the next regular meeting be on June 9th on a Monday. John Davidson, City Engineer
