CITY OF HASTINGS OHico of ENGINEER MINUTES OF HASTINGS PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MONDAY, MAY 25, 1970 The meeting convened at 7:30 P.M. at the Hastings Public Library Meeting Room. Those present: Walter Petersen, Don Hallberg, Leonard Bauer, Frank Sieckert, Clarence Soleim, Don Fluegel, Councilman Jim Mayer, Ben Sontag, City Engineer John Davidson The first item on the agenda was the approval of the minutes of May 11, 1970. The minutes were amended by Mr. Frank Sieckert to change Mr. Soleim's committee from Mr. Sieckert to Mr. Siebrecht, so the committee would be Mr. Soleim, Mr. Siebrecht and Mr. Bauer. This is the 4th paragraph on Page The second item was the presentation of a proposed plat by Mr. Ben Sontag. This is a 40 acre parcel northo£ 15th Street, west of Bauer's Addition. The City Engineer also furnished an urban map showing the street system adjacent to the present platted street systems. The plat has to be presented to the City Council and referred back to the Planning Commission, however, an interim committee of Mr. Hallberg and Mr. Fluegel and Mr. Petersen were appointed to study the proposed plat. The City Engineer agreed he would present the plat to the City Council for legal submission to the Planning Commission for study. Mr. Walt Petersen read a series of letters from persons interested in the sub- committee of the Planning Commission. It was also moved by Mr. Hallberg to nominate Mr. Tom Wollmering to these committees. The next item of discussion was a Full Securities Corrections Institution which was bro~aght to the attention of City Officials by Senator George Conzemius and Representative Walter Klaus . We were asked to make a recommendation to them regarding the position of the Planning Commission in recommending for or against the institution being built east of the State Hospital in Hastings. The Chamber of Commerce has an economic study available which they did in Red Wing, indicating what the economics of having an institution of this kind adds or detracts from the City. There was a brief review of the intention of the Department of Corrections and the feeling of the Planning Commission was generally negative, however it was tabled to the next regular meeting before any definite position was taken on the issue.
