Home My WebLink About04/05/69CITY OF HASTINGS Office of ENGINEER HABTING$, MINNESOTA, S5053 NOTES ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1969 This meeting was held in regard to reconstruction and relocation of the service station o~rnedby Mr. Paul Birchen at the southeast corner of llth Street and Spring StreetS. The property has been surveyed, the property corners being marked, the proposed location of the service station seemed to meet all require- ments for improvement of the service station facility and the intersection. The new building being located south of the existing structure, the new pumps and signs being completely on private property. The present pumps and sign being on street right-of-way property. The only stipulation the subcommittee could see is that the overall development plan proposed by Hastings Construction Company would have to be reviewed by the Planning Commission before approval could be given for any additional structures over and above the relocation of this service station at this time. This comprehensive plan should extend from llth Street all the way to 15th Street in determining what building would be allowed in these areas as proposed by Mr. Don Gustafson at the last regular Planning Commission meeting. In accordance with Mr. Hodne's recommendation, change in zoning would be allowed at street right-of-way lines, but would have to extend an additional one-half block in each case so that the change in zoning would be midblock, rather than at the street lines. Any subsequent approval to upgrading this area for commercial development would also have to take into account proposed traffic patterns and at this point, no street right-of-way should be vacated except by total concept in accordance with Planning procedures. We completed our meeting at approximately 10:30 A. M. John Davidson, City Engineer
