The first item of discussion was the minutes of the last regular meeting.

The next item of discussion was the testimony of Mr. Wallin, son of the owner of that part of the East 1/2 of Section 32, Ti15N R17W, lying west of and adjacent to the West Corporate Limits, south of 15th Street. Mr. Wallin was asked to appear before the Planning Commission to give testimony in regard to the proposed T. II. 55 by-pass which bisects his property diagonally and made the following comments. In view of the fact that the proposed highway corridor bisects the property diagonally resulting in splitting the property for further farm use and possible future use in regard to a develop- ment plan and in view of the fact the highway is too close to the present corporate City Limits, restricting the boundaries of future Hastings, he would urge the Planning Commission to move the highway westerly from his property, and that the Planning Commission would so advise the City Council, the State Highway Officials and Edwards and Kelsey who are doing the comprehensive plan for the proposed by-pass. The property in question is about 300 acres in size outside of the present corporate limits. They have sold ali of their property that is within the present corporate limits. Mr. Wallin was thanked for his testimony in that the Planning Commission and the City Council is formulating opinions at this time and are very interested in testimony from those persons immediately affected by the by-pass system. Mr. Wallin was advised that he would be notified of the next joint City - Township Meetings at which time he would be invited again to attend said meetings. The next item of discussion was a proposed comprehensive plan by Mr. Don Hess representing Midwest Planners, the work being done for Mr. Leo Schumacher for approximately a 320 acre parcel lying north of T. FI. 55, west of Farm Street, south of 1st Street to the west Corporate Limits. Mr. Hess made a general review
