Minutes of Hastings Planning Commission Meeting held Monday, January 26, 1970 Page of the site plan, familiarizing the Planning Commission with the general location and the topography of the area. Mr. He ss laid out an overlay over the site plan indicating land uses. (Attached to these minutes is a drawing of the approximate land use as outlined, showing the traffic patterns and the proposed road systems. ) Mr. Hess indicated that the Mobile Home area would be designed for approximately 300 mobile homes and they would be placed in a setting similar to the l~em-Town Movila area. There would be a recreation center provided for the mobile home park that would cost from $80, 000 to $125, 000 to construct. This would be a recreation facility for both adult and youth recreation programs. Also Pleasant Drive was relocated from the top of the slope to the bottom of the slope as was originally proposedin Leo Schumacher's first design of Imperial Estates. This would allow a better traffic pattern for this thoroughfare to come in at the bottom of the Featherstone Hill on 1st Street rather than on the top of the hilI as proposed in Mr. Schumacher's final preliminary plat. Also, Westview Drive ~vou[d be extended in a northwesterly direction rather than northeasterly as in the original plat of Imperial Estates, outletted what is referred to as Farm Road to Farn~ and the 1st Street area. The proposed plan would connect Westview Drive with Pleasant Drive which would be a collector into a thoroughfare and a more realistic plan. First Street would be a east-west collector and Highway 55 would be an east-west thoroughfare. There would be no backing onto any of the thoroughfares, either T. H. 55 or Pleasant Drive and there would be a proposed north-south street which would be a collector at the westerly corporate limits, in a curvalinear alignmen~ Mr. Hess was asked to furnish the Planning Commission information in regard to mobile home tax structures. It was also suggested that one of the areas north of T. H. 55 be set aside, approximately 10 acres in size, for an elementary school location. Mr. Hess also pointed out that the concept plan would be initiated or the first step of construction would be the mobile home park area. The engineer pointed out that if a HUD Grant were obtained for extension of the west trunk from 4th and Farm Streets to the West Corporate Limits out the old railroad right of way, that this area could not be served in 1970 unless Mr. Schnmacher would elect to construct this sewer to the adequate size which would be I2" size for his use. The engineer was also to check with Mr. Schumacher and see if he wanted to withdraw his petition for utilities within Imperial Estates from the 1970 construction program. The next item of discussion was a hearing for Mr. Stute who wanted to place a mobile home on a permanent foundation on the l~luender property east of Glendale Road and northeast from the City Land Fill. Mr. Stute was advised by the Planning Commission that the present City Ordinance does not allow a mobile home to ~ocated in any other area except in a mobile home park within the City of Hastings. This would require a special amendment to the Ordinance and would require three readings of the Council. It was also mentioned that the Council would not be very cooperative in ailowing mobile homes to be placed in any other area that within a mobile home park area. Mr. Stute then left the meeting stating he would not persue the issue any further. In the first paragraph of these minutes in regard to approval of minutes, the meeting minutes of January 12th should be corrected to include Mr. Orvin Moen as being present at that meeting.
