Minutes of Hastings Planning Commission Meeting held Monday, June 22, 1970 Page ]. used for the warehouse on 5th Street and the Day School on McNamara Street, whereby a petition from local residents within 300 feet would be submitted to the Council. The Planning Commission recommended approval if the petition is adequate and the City Council would then determine the acceptance or rejection by petition. The proposed fence ordinance as submitted by the Building Inspector, through the Building and Zoning Committeee Chairman, Mr. Hallberg, was discussed. It was suggested that possibly this fence ordinance be included in the Zoning Ordinance, however it was suggested that the proposed ordinance be sent out with the next meeting minutes for review by the Planning Commission, before any determination is made since we do cover fences in Section 5.6 of the proposed zoning ordinance. A_ny inclusions in this proposed ordinance should be added to this section of the proposed zoning ordinance. The next item of discussion was the Vermillion River Project. The Engineer reported that he had met with the County Board and also the County Planning Commission on two different] occasions and suggested that we would be requesting in writing a formal review of the Vermillion River l~roject since the County Board was included in the original request for the study. It was also brought out, that until this Vermillion River Flood Project is studied, no final decision can be made on the Mobile Home Park as presented by Mr. Niel Siewert. The next item was a suggestion that a move be made for the first reading of the new zoning ordinance. This will be brought up by Mr. Hallbergat the next regular Council Meeting. There was a review of the Zoning Map. Each member of the Planning Commission was furnished with a 1" = 800' scale drawing of the entire City so that a block zoning map could be made by each member of the Planning Commission and all the maps be brought together and consolidated into a single map at the next Planning Commission Meeting. Next it was suggested that the Park improvement schedule worked up by the City Engineer and Superintendent of the Parks Department at the last regular budget discussion, would be furnished to the subcommittee of the Planning Commission in regard to parks and recreation facilities to give them an initial start into their improvement program. Copies of this will be made available to the Planning Commission Chairman for distribution to the Park and Recreation s ubc o mmitt e e. It was suggested that the Engineer furnish copies of the League of Municipalities Legislation as proposed at the League of Municipalities Convention, that section dealing with Planning be distributed to the members of the Planning Commission.
