CITY OF HASTINGS <br /> Office of ENGINEER <br /> <br />MINUTES OF HASTINGS PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> <br />HELD MONDAY, JULY 13, 1970 <br /> <br />The Planning Commission Meeting convened at 7:30 P.M. at City Hall. <br /> <br />There was a request from Don Hallberg that Standards and Regulations for <br />APC be furnished each Council member for the meeting on Wednesday. (See <br />copies in Air Pollution Control file. ) <br /> <br />The first item on the agenda was the approval of the Planning Commission <br />Meeting minutes of June gg, 1970, and approved as read. <br /> <br />Those present: <br /> <br />Mr. Walt Petersen, Mr. Ed Fischer, Mr. Don Fluegel, <br />Mr. Don Hallberg, Mr. Leonard Bauer, <br /> <br />Also present: <br /> <br />Mr. Ben Sontag, Mr. Bob Swanson, Mr. Tom Majeski, <br />Mr. Lew Jaquis, and Mr. John Davidson. <br /> <br />There was a presentation of the Sontag plat and a review of the correspondence <br />between the City and the School District Z00 School Board. The letter received <br />from the School Board dated July 10, 1970 is attached. Mr. Sontag questioned <br />the School Board recommending the east - west street abutting their property <br />because they would be assuming all assessments for utilities, sewer, water <br />and storm sewer, in addition to the street construction. The present plat leaves <br />two accesses to the school property at the south line and in the future if they <br />wanted an east - west street they could construct one at less cost privately. <br />This also allows them the ability to construct a perimeter street on their <br />property in the future if this is required so that no streets cross playground <br />property. There was also some question as to whether there should be a <br />thoroughfare collector through any residential area if all of the traffic generated <br />by the school could be encouraged from Pleasant Drive, which is a thoroughfare <br />or T.H. 55 which is a thoroughfare, the least traffic congestion would be ac- <br />complished. It was suggested that the City Engineer meet with Mr. Ken Anderson, <br />County Traffic Engineer and discuss the traffic problems in this area. <br /> <br />Mr. Sontag presented the organization chart of the Industrial Development <br />Corporation and stated that the bonding committee was being headed by Mr. Novak <br />and the committee is gathering information for publication and publicity for a <br />referendum vote. <br /> <br />Mr. Fischer suggested an August 4th meeting at the Library with the School <br />Board to discuss both the Sontag plat and the traffic situation at the Junior <br />High School. <br /> <br /> <br />
