Minutes of Hastings Planning Commission Meeting held Monday, June Z2, 1970 Page Z. The next item of discussion was the proposed Mobile Home Park furnished by Mr. Bill Pechacek. It was moved by Mr. Fischer, seconded by Mr. Moen that the plan be approved by the Planning Commission and submitted to the City Council for approval. Mr. Pechacek indicated the sewer and water plans would be submitted to the Engineer for approval. The motion was unanimously passed. Next item discussed was the proposed Mobile Home Park comprehensive plan submitted by Mr. Nell Siewert. The presentation was made by Mr. Harry S. Johnson, indicating that there were 9. Z acres requested by the Corps of Engineers for straightening the channel of the Vermillion River. There would be ll.g acres outside of the channel that the Corps is asking for as a spoil area, the total area property owned by Mr. Siewert is 39.5 acres. This would leave about 19 acres, plus or minus, for development outside of the flood plain and property acquisition for spoil bank. We went through Plan A and Plan B. Plan A would contain 175 lots, entirely outside of the Corps of Engineers construction limits. Plan B would allow for ZZ5 lots, using part of the Corps of Engineers construction limits above the 100 year flood profile. He indicated earth work studies had been made, using the Corps of Engineers 100 year flood plain profile and that there was enough material on the property to stay above the 100 year flood plain and grade, a 5/10ths percent grade from the river up to the south line of their property, which is the abandoned railroad right-of-way in that area.

The Planning Commission Chairman, Mr. Petersen, turned this over to Mr. Soleim's committee, consisting of Mr. Soleim, Mr. Siebrecht and Mr. Bauer. It was asked that the Engineer secure a layout from Mr. Gustafson for this proposed new shopping center area and that copies of the letter of withdrawal of the C-1 area and the petition for the rezoning be furnished the subcommittee. The next item of discussion was the "Special Use Permit" for the Truax Store on 4th Street west of Maple. There was an opinion for re-instatement since the use was not conforming for the area and the original owner had gone out of business in the past and anyone taking over this store would have to have the '~Special Use Permit" granted on the same basis that previously had been
