Melanie Mesko Lee, Administrative Assistant/City Clerk
March 10, 2004
Set Public Hearing for Increasing On-Sale Liquor
2004/2005 License Year
License Fees for
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Council Action ~ueGUd
Set a public hearing for May 3, 2004 to consider increasing the on-sale liquor license fees
for the 2004/2005 license year by $500 to $3,900.
Several years ago, the City Council approved a phasing plan for increases in on-sale liquor
licenses. Staff was directed to increase the fees $500/year until the annual fee reached
$4,000. State statute requires that cities hold a public hearing, with 30-day
notification to licensees, prior to any increases to on-sale liquor license fees.
In 2002, the City Council held public hearings to amend Chapter :3 of the City Code
regulating liquor licenses. As part of this public hearing process, the City Council also
approved establishing incremental increases to the City's liquor license fees (Resolution
05-13-02). Licensees were notified of the 2002 public hearing prior to the meeting.
Following the meeting, licensees were also notified of the Council's direction to
incrementally increase fees over a period of approximately 3 years and to add an annual
cost-of-living adjustment to the annual license fee.
In 2003, the Council held at public hearing at the July 7, 2003 meeting to increase the
2003/2004 fees from $2,900 to $3,400, in accordance with their decision in 2002.
Again, all licensees were sent notices regarding the public hearing and the proposed
action.
All current licensees will be sent a notice at least 30 days in advance of the May 3,2004
public hearing date informing them of the City's public hearing as well as the proposed
changes to the liquor license fees.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me prior to the meeting.

Code of Ethics Proposed Amendment
Mareh 10, 2004
Cou nelL Acti o!!.ß!g u estect:
Conduct the first reading and order a public hearing and second reading of a
code amendment to Section 2.81 relating to the Code of Ethics requirement.
paekground Information:
Section 2.81 of the City Code requires that those defined as "public officials"
annually complete a code of ethics form, which outlines property and business
interests and is intended to disclose where there may be a conflict of interest.
The vast majority of "public officials" required to complete this form annually fill in
the same information every year and staff spends an inordinate amount of time
trying to get them all back from the various officials.
This item was presented to the Administrative Committee of the Council on
March 8 for their consideration. Based on their comments, staff is
recommending that the section be amended as noted below. This amendment
would not remove the code of ethics provision nor would it eliminate public
officials from being required to disclose the same information. Instead, it would
provide that any public disclosure filing made by a public official will remain in
effect until information on the disclosure has changed or until they are reelected
or reappointed, whichever comes first. Staff members which fall under this
provision would be required to complete the form at time of appointment and
every four years thereafter, in the year in which the Mayor and two at-large
council members are elected.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
SEC. 2.81 CODE OF ETHICS
sueD. 1. DEFINITIONS. As used in this ordinance, "Public Officials" shall mean only the
following persons:

Dog Licensing Changes
Council Action Requested:
Conduct a first reading and order a second reading and public hearing to amend
Section 9.21 of the City Code relating to dog licensing.
Background Information:
Staff is looking for ways to provide more user friendly services to the public with
regards to the various licenses which the City issues. One issue which was
reviewed by the Administrative Committee of the Council on March 8, 2004 has
to do with dog licensing. Currently, notices are published notifying residents that
they must come into City Hall to complete the license paperwork for their dogs.
This is an annual renewal. This proposed change would move the license year
from July 1-June 30 to August 1-July 31 annually. This not only gives staff
more time to roll out this change this year, but it also moves the renewal a month
behind annual liquor license renewals so we don't have two renewals being
administered concurrently. Staff also suggests that the fee for a non-spayed or
neutered dog be adjusted to $10 annually, which is consistent with what other
communities charge. There is no proposed change from the $6 annual fee that
is currently charged for spayed or neutered dogs.
The other change proposed would make the form available on-line as well as
allow residents to renew their dog license via mail, as long as a copy of a valid
rabies vaccination is on file. Licensees would need to provide the rabies copy
before a license would be issued. Essentially, the same information will be
required of dog owners, but staff would collect it in a different way.
Finally, staff would prepare a brochure and other information that would be made
available at City facilities, on our website, cable, and newsletter to inform
residents of the City's requirements and to explain how to apply for a license.
The attached information is for your review; should you have any questions,
please feel free to contact me.
SECTION 9.21. DOG REGULATIONS AND .LICENSES.
SUBD. 1. RUNNING AT LARGE PROHIBITED. It is unlawful for any person who is the
owner, or other person in possession of a dog to permit such dog to run at large; provided, that
such dog shall not be deemed to be running at large, as follows:

Dog Licensing Requirements
Dog Licenses are Required

To: Mayor Mike Werner and City Council I ()
From: William R. Mesaros Building Official Department of Building Safety f..j:'-V
Date: March 10, 2004
Subject: Proposed new Department ofBuildiIli Safety office hours.
proposal and request for approval
As a proposal to provide an increased level of customer servic,e to our customers. The
Department of Building Safety is asking for city coUncil approval to change the business
hours from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM to 7:00 AM to 4:30 p,M Monday through Friday
beginning Aprillih 2004 and through the summer~months until November 1,2004.
" ,
The purposed new hours are intended to allow our customers to apply for, pick up and
drop offpermit applications and plans on their way: to and from work. One of the primary
complaints we hear regularly from our customers is the city office hours are only open
from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM weekdays. These hours are also the normal working hours of
the public. Often applicants find it necessary to take time off work to obtain permits for
minor projects such as re-roofing, re-siding, decks; fences, sheds etc. We then receive
those comments and complaints from applicants who must miss work to obtain a permit.
Opening at 7:00 AM will allow pennit applicants to submit permits, meet with
department staff and when possible obtain their buifding permit on the same day.
- .
We believe this extension of service, will reduce customer complaints and allow greater
flexibility for ,the public for obtaining building permits during the busy summer
construction season.

If you have any questions please feel free t(t~ontact me.

M u n i (i P a Ii ti e ~
February 26,2004
Dear AMM Member:
Enclosed please find a resolution passed by the AMM Board of Directors supporting
the continuation of the Metropolitan Radio Board. Under current law, the Radio
Board will sunset on June 30, 2004. Legislation to eliminate this sunset and preserve
regional control over bonding decisions and funding streams is currently working ~ts
way through both the House and Senate (HF 2136/ SF 1973).
Since its inception, the Metropolitan Radio Board has been composed of local
government officials and representatives of the end users of the 800 MHz system.
The Board includes local goverinnents that have already opted to come online as well
as those that have chosen to stay with an alternative public safety communication
system. The local control that this structure provides has been essential to the
successful growth of the system and the preservation of its voluntary nature. A likely
alternative to the current structure, if it were allowed to sunset, would be for local
input to be limited to an advisory capacity, with actual decision-making authority
awarded to the Commissioner of Public Safety.
.
The AMM Board of Directors believes that continued local controk,.Yel' the
Metropolitan Radio Board is essential for those cities currently using and investing in
the regional public safety communication system, as well as those that might
someday choose to join. While AMM is working with the Metropolitan Radio Board
and other stakeholder associations to advance the necessary legislation, the direct
support of your city would be helpful in winning the votes of individual legislators.
We ask that your city consider adopting a similar resolution, and forwarding it to both
-ðMM and your legislative delegation.
If you have any questions, or would like additional information about tha Metro-
politan Radio Board, please don't hesitate to contact me at 651-459-9933, ext. *816.
Sincerely,
eke

Request Authorization for Purchase
FROM:
SUBJECT:
DATE:
March 11, 2004
Included in the 2004 Capital Improvements Projects Request were purchase of four
replacement cardiac monitor/defibrillators in the amount of$100,000.00. Funding for
this request was included with the fire department's ERF expenditures.
, -
The fire department currently operates and maintains four monitor/defibrillators - one for
each ambulance and one for the rescue truck. Although these units have not completely
exhausted their life cycle, they are 10 years old and they do have trade-in value of
$10,700.00. Gurrent technology and improvements in monitor/defibrillators have
provided greater success and increased capabilities.
Current trends within our region, supported by Regina Medical Center and Dr. Lawrence
Erickson, Medical Director for the City of Hastings Ambulance Service, will allow
. 'patients experienèing certain types of heart attacks to be transported to facilities capable
of more appropriate interventions. To accomplish this increase in standard of care,
ambulance services must provide in-depth evaluation during transport. Additional new
technologies through defibrillation have shown greater success in resuscitating cardiac
arrest victims. The units requested will have the capability of accomplishing both of
these increases in level of care.
, .
Competitive bidding for this request has been accomplished through our membership in
the North Central EMS Cooperative. Sponsorship for our participation is paid for by the,
Metropolitan 911 Board. Our association with tills group has allowed for a discount in
the amount of$14,917.50. I have included a'copyofamemo from the Cooperative
which outlines their defibrillator contract.

Memo
Date: 5/21/2003
To:
All North Central EMS Cooperative Members
From: North Central EMS Cooperative Executive Çommittee
RE~ Latest VendorlJpdates
Greetings to all of our past members and a warm welcome to our new members! Just in case you
have not heard, our organization has surpassed a major landmark by exceeding the 400 member
mark! NCEMSC members now not only come from the upper midwest, but range from Arizona to
Maine. As an organization we have seen explosive growth in our membership over the last 18
months because of the EMS products and services we can offer and through the competitive pricing
we have been able to achieve through our RFP and negotiation processes. The larger our
organization grows, the greater our purchasing power and our ability to negotiate contracts that we
all can benefit from. Our member services benefit from our continued growth through further
enhancement of our buying power and our increased ability to negotiate purchasing contracts at the
lowest possible pri~s. '.
" , "
To keep our members up to date, we will highlight some of our more prominent Contracts:
. Wheeled Coach: Early this spring, our executive committee re-signed a contract with
, Wheeled Coach awarding them our. contract to provide our members ambulances. We
believe that the value that is offered through this ambulance purchase contract is
unsurpassed in the EMS industry. Wheeled Coach is natural partner for the NCEMSC given
their position as the largest ambulance manufacturer combined with us being the largest
EMS buying çoop. These two factors allow ps to provide the voluJTle purchasing, power
necessary to provide to our members a substantial savings on the'purchase of Type " II, III
138" wheelbase or Type 111158" wheelbase ambulances. It is importanfthat an members be
aware that this contract only applies to members that were a part of the coop prior March 1 st
2003, or are currently licensed as providers in one of the 5 Midwestern states of Iowa,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas. In our previous 3 year contract with Wheeled
Coach, 96 ambulances were sold to our member services totaling 6.9 million dollars in
sales. Through lessons learned under our last contract" we have further enhanced the
specifications that make up a "Coop truck", to assure that the product that hits the streets
meets your expectations of quality and reliability.

Medtronic Physio-Control: As you are probably aware, Medtronic Physic-Control has

most popular defibrillators available today, at a highly competitive price.. The Life Pak 12
monitor/defibrillator along with the Life Pak 500 are available to our members through your
local Medtronic Physio-Control. rep. We have had a great deal of positive.feedback from our
members that have so far purchased through our contract. If you have any questions about
this contract, please give Michael Coyle, our Membership Development Specialist a call at,
(507) 629-8260 or contact your local Physio-Control rep.
. Medical Supplies (BoundTree): We are pleased to announce that BoundTree Medical has
hired former NCEMSC Executive Director Briana Goodreau as their new territory rep for
Minnesota. Briana began her new position on May 1 st. .
.
..'
This summer, an ad-hoc committee will convene to begin development of a new medical
supply RFP. The current medical supply centract is set to expire en December 31st. Given
the rapid growth of the NCEMSC, we are expecting a very competitive bid for this latest
EMS supply contract. '
. Office Depot: On May 1 st' the NCEMSC renewed the office supply contract with Office
Depot. Several. of our members have reported significant savings on a multitude of different
office products offered through their catalog. Please give our Membership Development
Specialist, Michael Coyle, a call if you have any questions.

2004 Street & Utility Improvement Program
The feasibility report on the proposed 2004 Street and Utility Improvements
Program was given to Councilmembers at the March 1 5t meeting. The public hearings for
the two projects, 2004-1 Westwood Area and 2004-2 East 31 5t Street have been scheduled
for the March 15th Council meeting.
The purpose of the public hearing is for Council to receive comment from
affected property owners before deciding whether or not to proceed with construction of
a project. Assessment issues are generally addressed at the assessment hearing following
completion of the projects.
2004-1, WES1WOOD AREA IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed Westwood Area improvement project is a City initiated project that will
require the votes of six Council members to approve the project.
.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The próposed Westwood Area improvements involve 19th S1. from Forest S1. to
Pine S1., Forest S1. from 18th S1. to Pine S1., and Walnut, Maple and Oak Streets from
18th St. to CSAH #46. The existing streets are rough, poorly sloped and lack
concrete curb and gutter. The existing street drainage is poor and the existing storm
sewer is undersized. Existing sanitary sewer mains do not meet minimum grade
requirements and are root infested.
~ STREET RECONSTRUCTION - Streets are proposed to be reconstructed at 32 ft.
width, with the exception of Maple 81., which is currently 40 ft. wide and
proposed for 36 ft. width, and Oak St. between Forest and CSAH #46 which is
currently 32 ft. wide and proposed for 28 ft. width to eliminate on street
perpendicular parking and provide room for replacement parking by
reconfiguring an apartment's parking lot. Some minor realignment is proposed,
generally at skewed intersections along 19th St. and the south end of Forest Street.
No sidewalks are proposed to be constructed.
~ STORM SEWER - Large storm sewer mains up to 5 ft. in diameter will be
constructed on Maple and 19th Streets. The drainage area for these mains extends
".---..,
-lr T
as far south as 13th St., all of which drains through the proposed project on the
way to the Vermillion River. Other sections of the storm sewer system will be
upgraded and extended to meet current City standards.
) SANITARY SEWER & WATER. All of the sanitary sewer mains will be replaced,
along with individual residential sewer service lines within the right of way.
Watermain will be replaced on Walnut Street and sections of 19th St. due to
conflicts with the storm sewer and sanitary sewer replacements. Additional
watermain will be replaced on sections of Maple S1. and Forest St. where service
records indicate a number of watermain breaks have occurred in the past.

Proposed Project ~OO4.J.
Westwood Area
Street Reeonltroetion
-T T
.
SUMMARY OF ISSUES AND COMMENTS
As noted in the feasibility study, this project is estimated to cost $5.7 million.
Approximately $1.5 million in funding will come from Water and Wastewater funds
for utility replacements. Approximately $960,000 of the cost will be recovered
through assessments, with the remaining $3.25 million funded by bond sales and
future City debt levies.
An open house for the proposed Westwood Area improvements was held on
February 25th. A compilation of comments received is included with this memo. In
general, residents appear to recognize the need to reconstruct the streets. The most
common concerns expressed involved access during construction, cost, and trees.
)0-
ACCESS - Access to driveways will be maintained at all times during
construction with the exception of the periods when concrete is curing or when
construction is active through the driveway area. Driveways will be temporarily
ramped and homeowners are encouraged to contact the Engineering Department
if they encounter difficulties getting in and out of driveways. The Engineering
Department has prepared a communications plan to inform residents about
construction activities and progress through the use of the City's web page,
email, and newsletters available in special mailboxes in the neighborhood.
)0-
COST - A typical 80 ft. wide lot would face an estimated $4,500 assessment.
The assessment rate used is the same as was adopted for the 2002 Ashland and
Eddy 81. improvements. There are several irregular shaped lots created by the
skewed street intersections. An analysis of assessments against these irregular
shaped lots using a strict interpretation of the assessment policy versus a
comparable sized rectangular shaped lot assessment was made. As a result,
irregular shaped lot assessments were reduced to equal assessments for a
comparable sized rectangular lot.
)0-
TREES - The existing mature boulevard trees are a considerable amenity to the
neighborhood. The street reconstruction design is meant to minimize impact on
the existing boulevard trees. The City Forester identified 160 boulevard trees in
the construction zone, of which only 15 are recommended for removal.
2004-2, EAsT 31 S1 STREET IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed East 31st Street improvement project is a City initiated project that will
require the votes of six Council members to approve the project.
------.--. ._- .------, -
.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed East 31st Street improvements entail reconstructing East 31 st St.
from Hwy 316 to Enterprise Avenue. The existing street is a rural design, with a 24
ft. wide bituminous mat, gravel shoulders and ditches. The existing bituminous street
is in extremely poor condition.
-lr T
"::,C-'=_:...:,:;,,C_, ;.,-"... '.
~ STREET RECONSTRUCTION - The existing gravel shoulders and storm water
ditches are proposed to be replaced by concrete curb and gutter and storm
sewer, as per the Industrial Park Board's recommendation. The street would
be constructed to a 36 ft. width. Some additional right of way will need to' be
acquired from the National Guard Armory, along with a temporary
construction easement.
~ STORM SEWER - The existing storm water ditches will be filled and replaced
by storm sewer. On the west end of the 31 st Street, the storm sewer will
discharge into the Hwy 316 ditch. However, due to grade problems at the
intersection of 31 st 8t. and Hwy 316, the storm sewer will be routed along the
east and north sides of the Armory to discharge into the Hwy 316 ditch at
Spiral Boulevard. On the east end of 31 st Street, the storm sewer will
discharge into the Millard Avenue ditch. Due to grade and storm water
hydraulic issues, the Millard Avenue ditch adjacent to Arrow Building Center
needed to be deepened. However, since deeping this ditch would result in
even steeper side slopes, the decision was made to replace the ditch on the
west side of Millard adjacent to Arrow Building Center with storm sewer.
~ BITUMINOUS TRAIL - The Comprehensive Plan calls for a trail to be
constructed along 31 st Street. The proposed 10ft. wide bituminous trail
would link with the existing trail on the west side of Three Rivers Mobile
Home Park and connect to a trail currently under construction on the south
side of the 31 st S1. extension east of Enterprise Avenue that will connect to CR
#91. A future trail is planned to extend north from 31 st S1. along Millard to
the Veterans Park Athletic Fields and north to 21 st Street, tying into the
existing Rotary Bridge crossing of the Vermillion River gqrge.

SUMMARY OF ISSUES AND COMMENTS
As noted in the feasibility study, this project is estimated to cost $1.35 million.
Approximately $60,000 in funding will come from Water and Wastewater funds for
utility replacements. Approximately $288,000 of the cost will be recovered through
assessments, with the remaining $1.0 million funded by bond sales and future City
debt levies. .
A sparsely attended open house for the proposed East 31 st Street improvements
was held on February 26tli. A compilation of comments received is included with this
memo. The most significant issue raised concerned the fairness of the assessment
rates and who pays for reconstructing the street.
~ ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS - Four separate benefits analyses were completed due
to the varying land uses along 31 st Street. The following assessment rates
were established based on the benefits analyses:
0 Single Family Residential - $54/ff
0 Condominium - $590.40 per unit
0 Industrial - $45/ff
0 Three Rivers Mobile Home Park - $74.90/ff
Some of the single family residential property owners complained about
their assessment rate, noting that residential property is charged a higher
rate than industrial property, while the heavy truck and bus use generated
by the industrial property has caused deterioration of road. It should be
noted that the City taxpayers are paying the lion's share of the cost of
rebuilding 31 st Street as assessments make up only 21 % of the project cost.
~ TRAIL LOCATION - The five open house attendees were asked their
preference for the location of the proposed bituminous trail. Two of the
property owners preferred the north side of 31 st S1., two property owners had
no,preference, and one preferred the south side of the street.

should not use benefits analysis from 2002 Ashland
and Eddy St. construction as Ashland St. properties
are much higher valued than the 2004 Westwood
properties. Forest St. does not need reconstruction,
and does not need concrete curb and gutter and
storm sewer since road drains just fine now. Should
not be assessed for storm sewer improvements since
most of property drains south to CR #47. Forest St.
would not need reconstruction if City had seal coated
more often. Concerned about pro~osed road grades
and alignment on driveway, has st wheel camper

tree removal.
Has sewer problems.
Q!y Staff Response
The Feasibility Report uses a 2002 benefits analysis
prepared for the Ashland and Eddy St. reconstruction
to estimate assessments. The appraiser's typical lot
was on Ashland S1. and whose 2003 Estimated
Market Value is $142,700. Mr. Bond's property's
2003 Estimated Market Value is $157,900. The 2003
Estimated Market Values for the Westwood area
properties in the Feasibility Report range from
$135,000 to $200,000. The 2002 benefits analysis
would appear to be representative of this area and a
conservative estimate of benefit derived from the
proposed street and utility improvements. Prior to the
neighborhood meeting, the Engineering Department
revised the Forest 81. draft plan to reduce boulevard
encroachment to less than 3 feet and are only
lowering the street about 8 inches to accommodate
gutter drainage. These proposed changes will have a
nominal effect on driveway grade, which to begin
with, is not steep.
City will work with homeowner on replacement
driveway width. See comments for 2020 Forest
about trees.
Proposed construction includes replacing sewer
mains and services to the property line.

While the proposed construction will provide an
additional connection to the CR #47 trunk watermain
and will replace watermain on Walnut S1., little if any
water pressure increase is expected. Water pressure

experience with Forest S1. in 1999, most of the

Dear ]\IIr. Gurney:
This letter is in response to the proposed 31 st Street Reconstruction..I agree with you that
the street is peed of resurfacing but that is ALL it is need of. I have lived at this home for
~O plus years and have NEVER seen the need for a storm sewer. And we certainly do not
need a curb and gutter and bike path for people to throw more garbage Oll. Whose idea is
it to spend all this money for unneeded "improvements"? I do not see any of it as an
"improvement". What rights do property owners have in these decisions?
,"'
Hastings is looking at developing land in this area for future use. I can't help bout think
that these "improvements" are to make this area more inviting for prospective businesses
or residential use and that the current residents are paying for it. The cost of these
"improvements" should be figured in with future expansion in this area and the
assessments should be included in future purchase prices. Of course when a city gives
away the land for business use, that could be costly for the city so ,the cost is passed on to
someone else. I wonder if future business or residential projects will be charged
anything for the "improvements" that are supposed to benefit all.
If Hastings wants to attract growth to this area, then Hastings should pay for the bike
trails and "improvements" that wil1 affect everyone who uses them. I look at it like I do
the stadium. If the money mongers want a stadium, they can build their own stadium or
the people w}1o use it can pay for it in admission fees. It is not up to 6 private residences
(most of whom will probably not qualify for financial assistance) to pay the largest
percentage per family of the assessments. I would guess the people who qualify for
assistance would be those in the trailer park (which we also fought against) and condos
who ,as you know are each paying $590.40 for the cost of this "improvement". What
about the many families with kids on lVIalcoln1 and Corey Lane? They will be as big a
user if not the biggest user of a bike path as anyone. Perhaps a bike path should be put on
those streets.
The summer of 1979 we asked the City of Hastings if we could hook up to city water and
sewer which was already available across the street from our home. This was a deciding
factor in purchasing my family's estate. We were told we could not hook up at that time
and that it would be at least 20 years before we would be annexed into Hastings. In
August 1989, we were told that a sanitary sewer and watermain were installed and that
we had one year to hook up. It is my understanding that several residences on this street
did not have to pay for this "service" as the water had already been installed across the
street from their homes. This included several residences between our home and
~,.,.,,---
, '_'m".'."'.m.'-

'd
highway 316. It also included the Hastings Bus Garage. However we were charged over
$11,000 tòr what some neighbors got tree.
It is my l.mderstanding that businesses on 31 5t St. were supposed to have an access to
Spiral Blvd which was to be their main road of use. Well I can tell you that businesses on
31 st St. use 31 5t Street as their ¡TIain route of trav~I. Buses and large trucks pass by our
home many times a day and you can hear our windows rattle. I would guess that 31 5t 8t.
would not be in the shape it is in were it not for these large vehicles. And you are trying
to tell us that it is to our benefit to put an industrial use road in ~d you want to charge
the residents more than the businesses for that reason. You must have attended school in
another city or state as that doesn't add up, any way you try to do the math. Residents
should not Qe assessed $54.00/ff and businesses $45.00/ff. We all use the roads. The bus
garage has many vehicles traveling this road. Some employees drive for the morning,
noon and afternoon run. That means that these employees drive on this road 3 times to
get to work and 3 time to leave work in addition to the number of bus trips they make.
There are 6 private residences on 31 5t St. that face ~ 1 5t St. Of these 6, 4 have fàmilies at
retirement age (including ourselves). One of these families is already retired. Now these
6 residences are to pay the majority of the cost of this so called "improvement" when
broken down by the number of households that are to be assessed.
¡
At least 3 of the residences on 3 1st St. have more than one acre of land. This was a big
factor for those of us who chose to live here and have land where kids could grow and
play. We have approximately 309 feet of frontage so of course our portion (of the
$287,673.30 assessed to residents) is $16,686. Somehow that does not seem fair and
equitable to us when each condo will be assessed $590.40. I wonder how this would
calculate out if you or other members of the city council lived at our address. Families
who chose to live and develop these yards are penalized for having large yards. I
welcome you or anyone else to drive by our home and see how beautiful our yard is. To
me that is so.mething that people can benefit from by driving by and it is our choice to put
money into our yard for everyone to enjoy. What will a curb and gutter do for anyone? It
is not to my benefit to pay almost $17,000 for something we don't want or need.
I don't know if these comments are appropriate to your city standards but respectfully ask
that they be considered when developing fmal plans and cost estimates. We 'would rather
see no "improvements" done û~an pay the unfair, outlandish assessments you are .
proposIng.

Ordinance No.
, Second Series
An Ordinance of the City of Hastings Establishing
Fireworks Regulation and Establishing Penalties
for Violations Within the City of Hastings
The City Council of the City of Hastings hereby ordains:
I. Hastings City Code Chapter 5 is Amended by Adding the Following
New Section 5.53.
Section 5.53
Subd 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to regulate the sale,
storage, display, and possession of permitted consumer fireworks
in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the general
public. The City Council makes the following findings regarding the
need to license and regulate the sale, distribution, storage, and
display of fireworks permitted under State Law.
a. Consumer fireworks contain pyrotechnic chemical compositions
that are combustible; accordingly, the unregulated
accumulation, storage, display, use, and sale of these items
present a fire safety hazard; and
b. The improper disposal of consumer fireworks presents
environmental hazards; and
c. Due to their short-term and mobile nature, it is more difficult and
demanding of City staff and public safety resources to enforce
compliance with City ordinances and state law for temporary
and transient sales of consumer fireworks than it is for
established I permanent businesses.
Subd. 2.
b.
Definition. For the purposes of this section, "Consumer Fireworks"
will have the same definition as contained in Minnesota Statutes,
Section 624.20, Subd. 1 (c), and as may be amended. Wire or
wood sparklers of not more than 100 grams of mixture per item,
other sparkling items which are non-explosive and non-aerial and
contain 75 grams or less of chemical mixture per tube or a total of
200 grams or less for multiple tubes, these include:
a. Cylindrical Fountain. Upon ignition, a shower of colored
sparks or smoke and sometimes a whistling effect is
produced.
Cone Fountain. The effect is the same as that of a
cylindrical fountain. When more than 1 cone is mounted on
-'-,-----

c.
d.
a common base, total pyrotechnic composition may not
exceed 200 grams.
Illuminating Torch.
Wheel. Pyrotechnic device intended to be attached to a post
or tree by means of a nail or string. Upon ignition, the wheel
revolves, producing a shower of color and sparks and
sometimes, a whistling effect.
Ground Spinner. A device venting out an orifice usually on
the side of the tube, similar in operation to a wheel but
intended to be placed flat on the ground and ignited. The
rapidly spinning device produces a shower of sparks and
color.
Flitter Sparkler. Narrow paper tube attached toa stick or
wire that produces color and sparks upon ignition. The
paper at one end of the tube' is ignited to make the device
function.
Flash/Strobe. Emit a bright light.

devices, or trick noisemakers which include paper
streamers, party poppers, string poppers snappers, and drop
pops, each consisting of not more that twenty-five
hundredths grains of explosive mixture.

2004 Street & Utility Improvement Program
The feasibility report on the proposed 2004 Street and Utility Improvements
Program was given to Councilmembers at the March 1 5t meeting. The public hearings for
the two projects, 2004-1 Westwood Area and 2004-2 East 31 5t Street have been scheduled
for the March 15th Council meeting.
The purpose of the public hearing is for Council to receive comment from
affected property owners before deciding whether or not to proceed with construction of
a project. Assessment issues are generally addressed at the assessment hearing following
completion of the projects.
2004- I, WESTWOOD AREA IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed Westwood Area improvement project is a City initiated project that will
require the votes of six Council members to approve the project.
.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The próposed Westwood Area improvements involve 19th St. from Forest St. to
Pine St., Forest St. from 18th St. to Pine St., and Walnut, Maple and Oak Streets from
18th S1. to CSAH #46. The existing streets are rough, poorly sloped and lack
concrete curb and gutter. The existing street drainage is poor and the existing storm
sewer is undersized. Existing sanitary sewer mains do not meet minimum grade
requirements and are root infested.
» STREET RECONSTRUCTION - Streets are proposed to be reconstructed at 32 ft.
width, with the exception of Maple 81., which is currently 40 ft. wide and
proposed for 36 ft. width, and Oak St. between Forest and CSAH #46 which is
currently 32 ft. wide and proposed for 28 ft. width to eliminate on street
perpendicular parking and provide room for replacement parking by
reconfiguring an apartment's parking lot. Some minor realignment is proposed,
generally at skewed intersections along 19th S1. and the south end of Forest Street.
No sidewalks are proposed to be constructed.
~ STORM SEWER - Large storm sewer mains up to 5 ft. in diameter will be
constructed on Maple and 19th Streets. The drainage area for these mains extends
--,-e--,_,_. ,e
'lr T
as far south as 13th S1., all of which drains through the proposed project on the
way to the Vermillion River. Other sections of the storm sewer system will be
upgraded and extended to meet current City standards.
~ SANITARY SEWER & WATER - All of the sanitary sewer mains will be replaced,
along with individual residential sewer service lines within the right of way.
Watermain will be replaced on Walnut Street and sections of 19th S1. due to
conflicts with the storm sewer and sanitary sewer replacements. Additional
watermain will be replaced on sections of Maple 81. and Forest 81. where service
records indicate a number of watermain breaks have occurred in the past.

SUMMARY OF ISSUES AND COMMENTS
As noted in the feasibility study, this project is estimated to cost $5.7 million.
Approximately $1.5 million in funding will come from Water and Wastewater funds
for utility replacements. Approximately $960,000 of the cost will be recovered
through assessments, with the remaining $3.25 million funded by bond sales and
future City debt levies.
An open house for the proposed Westwood Area improvements was held on
February 25th. A compilation of comments received is included with this memo. In
general, residents appear to recognize the need to reconstruct the streets. The most
common concerns expressed involved access during construction, cost, and trees.
~
ACCESS - Access to driveways will be maintained at all times during
construction with the exception of the periods when concrete is curing or when
construction is active through the driveway area. Driveways will be temporarily
ramped and homeowners are encouraged to contact the Engineering Department
if they encounter difficulties getting in and out of driveways. The Engineering
Department has prepared a communications plan to inform residents about
construction activities and progress through the use of the City's web page,
email, and newsletters available in special mailboxes in the neighborhood.
)0>
COST - A typical 80 ft. wide lot would face an estimated $4,500 assessment.
The assessment rate used is the same as was adopted for the 2002 Ashland and
Eddy 8t. improvements. There are several irregular shaped lots created by the
skewed street intersections. An analysis of assessments against these irregular
shaped lots using a strict interpretation of the assessment policy versus a
comparable sized rectangular shaped lot assessment was made. As a result,
irregular shaped lot assessments were reduced to equal assessments for a
com13arable sized rectangular lot.
)0>
TREES - The existing mature boulevard trees are a considerable amenity to the
neighborhood. The street reconstruction design is meant to minimize impact on
the existing boulevard trees. The City Forester identified 160 boulevard trees in
the construction zone, of which only 15 are recommended for removal.
2004-2, EAsT 31 ST STREET IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed East 31st Street improvement project is a City initiated project that will
require the votes of six Council members to approve the project.
.
-------'--"'----._,.m- --',--,
PRO POSED IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed East 31 st Street improvements entail reconstructing East 31 st 81.
from Hwy 316 to Enterprise Avenue. The existing street is a rural design, with a 24
ft. wide bituminous mat, gravel shoulders and ditches. The existing bituminous street
is in extremely poor condition.
, -- ---
HhT T
> STREET RECONSTRUCTION - The existing gravel shoulders and storm water
ditches are proposed to be replaced by concrete curb and gutter and storm
sewer, as per the Industrial Park Board's recommendation. The street would
be constructed to a 36 ft. width. Some additional right of way will need to' be
acquired from the National Guard Armory, along with a temporary
construction easement.
> STORM SEWER - The existing storm water ditches will be filled and replaced
by storm sewer. On the west end of the 31 st Street, the storm sewer will
discharge into the Hwy 316 ditch. However, due to grade problems at the
intersection of 31 st St. and Hwy 316, the storm sewer will be routed along the
east and north sides of the Armory to discharge into the Hwy 316 ditch at
Spiral Boulevard. On the east end of 31 st Street, the storm sewer will
discharge into the Millard Avenue ditch. Due to grade and storm water
hydraulic issues, the Millard Avenue ditch adjacent to Arrow Building Center
needed to be deepened. However, since deeping this ditch would result in
even steeper side slopes, the decision was made to replace the ditch on the
west side of Millard adjacent to Arrow Building Center with storm sewer.
» BITUMINOUS TRAIL - The Comprehensive Plan calls for a trail to be
constructed along 31 st Street. The proposed 10ft. wide bituminous trail
would link with the existing trail on the west side of Three Rivers Mobile
Home Park and connect to a trail currently under construction on the south
side of the 31 st S1. extension east of Enterprise Avenue that will connect to CR
#91. A future trail is planned to extend north from 31 st St. along Millard to
the Veterans Park Athletic Fields and north to 21 st Street, tying into the
existing Rotary Bridge crossing of the Vermillion River gqrge.

SUMMARY OF ISSUES AND COMMENTS
As noted in the feasibility study, this project is estimated to cost $1.35 million.
Approximately $60,000 in funding will come from Water and Wastewater funds for
utility replacements. Approximately $288,000 of the cost will be recovered through
assessments, with the remaining $1.0 million funded by bond sales and future City
debt levies.
A sparsely attended open house for the proposed East 31 st Street improvements
was held on February 26th. A compilation of comments received is included with this
memo. The most significant issue raised concerned the fairness of the assessment
rates and who pays for reconstructing the street.
> ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS - Four separate benefits analyses were completed due
to the varying land uses along 31 st Street. The following assessment rates
were established based on the benefits analyses:
0 Single Family Residential - $54/ff
0 Condominium - $590.40 per unit
0 Industrial - $45/ff
0 Three Rivers Mobile Home Park - $74.90/ff
Some of the single family residential property owners complained about
their assessment rate, noting that residential property is charged a higher
rate than industrial property, while the heavy truck and bus use generated
by the industrial property has caused deterioration of road. It should be
noted that the City taxpayers are paying the lion's share of the cost of
rebuilding 31 st Street as assessments make up only 21 % of the project cost.
> TRAIL LOCATION - The five open house attendees were asked their
preference for the location of the proposed bituminous trail. Two of the
property owners preferred the north side of 31 st S1., two property owners had
no.preference, and one preferred the south side of the street.

should not use benefits analysis from 2002 Ashland

storm sewer since road drains just fine now. Should
not be assessed for storm sewer improvements since
most of property drains south to CR #47. Forest St.

Has sewer problems.
illY Staff Response
The Feasibility Report uses a 2002 benefits analysis
prepared for the Ashland and Eddy S1. reconstruction
to estimate assessments. The appraiser's typical lot
was on Ashland 81. and whose 2003 Estimated
Market Value is $142,700. Mr. Bond's property's
2003 Estimated Market Value is $157,900. The 2003
Estimated Market Values for the Westwood area
properties in the Feasibility Report range from
$135,000 to $200,000. The 2002 benefits analysis
would appear to be representative of this area and a
conservative estimate of benefit derived from the
proposed street and utility improvements. Prior to the
neighborhood meeting, the Engineering Department
revised the Forest St. draft plan to reduce boulevard
encroachment to less than 3 feet and are only
lowering the street about 8 inches to accommodate
gutter drainage. These proposed changes will have a
nominal effect on driveway grade, which to begin
with, is not steep.
City will work with homeowner on replacement
driveway width. See comments for 2020 Forest
about trees.
Proposed construction includes replacing sewer
mains and services to the property line.

Dear lVIr. Gurney:
This letter is in response to the proposed 31 st Street Reconstruction. I agree with you that
the street is 'peed of resurfacing but that is ALL it is need of. I have lived at this home for
1° plus years and have NEVER seen the need for a storm sewer. And we certainly do not
need a curb and gutter and bike path for people to throw more garbage on. Whose idea is
it to spend all this money for unneeded "improvements"? I do not see any of it as an
"improvement". What rights do property owners 'have in these decisions?
, ..
Hastings is looking at developing land in this area for future use. I can't help b,ut think
that these "improvements" are to make this area more inviting for prospective businesses
or residential use and that the current residents are paying for it. The cost of these
"improvements" should be figured in with future expansion in this area and the
assessments should be included in future purchase prices. Of course when a city gives
away the land for business use, that could be costly for the city so the cost is passed on to
someone else. I wonder if future business or residential projects will be charged
anything for the "improvements" that are supposed to benefit all.
If Hastings wants to attract growth to this area, then Hastings should pay for the bike
trails and "improvements" that will affect everyone who uses them. I look at it like I do
the stadium. If the money mongers want a stadium, they can build their own stadium or
the people wþo use it can pay for it in admission fees. It is not up to 6 private residences
(most of whom will probably not qualify for financial assistance) to pay the largest
percentage per family of the assessments. I would guess the people who qualify for
assistance would be those in the trailer park (which we also fought against) and condos
who ,as you know are each paying $590.40 for the cost of this "improvement". What
about the many families with kids on Nlalcolm and Corey Lane? They will be as big a
user if not the biggest user of a bike path as anyone. Perhaps a bike path should be put on
those streets.
The summer of 1979 we asked the City of Hastings if we could hook up to city water and
sewer which was already available across the street from our home. This was a deciding
factor in purchasing my family's estate. We were told we could not hook up at that time
and that it would be at least 20 years before we would be annexed into Hastings. In
August 1989, we were told that a sanitary sewer and watermain were installed and that
we had one year to hook up. It is my understanding that several residences on this street
did not have to pay for this "service" as the water had already been installed across the
street from their homes. This included several residences between our home and

highway 3 ì 6. It also inc1udeà the Hastings Bus Garage. However we were charged over
$11,000 for what some neighbors got fi.ee.
It is my lu1derstanding that businesses on 31 st St. were supposed to have an access to
Spiral Blvd which was to be their main road of use. Well I can tell you that businesses on
31 5t St. use 31 st Street as their main route of travel. Buses and large trucks pass by our
home many times a day and you can hear our windows rattle. I would guess that 31 st S1.
would not be in the shape it is in vvere it not for these large vehicles. And you are trying
to tell us that it is to our benefit to put an industrial use road in ~d you want to charge
the residents more than the businesses for that reason. You must have attended school in
another city or state as that doesn't add up, any way you try to do the math. Residents
should not be assessed $54.00/ff and businesses $45.00/ff. We all use the roads. The bus
~ ,
garage has many vehicles traveling this road. Some employees drive for the morning,
noon and afternoon run. That means that these employees drive on this road 3 times to
get to work and 3 time to leave work in addition to the number of bus trips they make.
There are 6 private residences oil 31 st 8t. that face ~ 1 5t St. Of these 6, 4 have fàmilies at
retirement age (including ourselves). One of these families is already retired. Now these
6 residences are to pay the majority of the cost of this so called "improvement" when
broken down by the number of households that are to be assessed.
¡
At least 3 of the residences on 31 5t 81. have more than one acre of land. This was a big
factor for those of us who chose to, live here and have land where kids could grow and
play. We have approximately 309 feet of frontage so of course our portion (of the
$287,673.30 assessed to residents) is $16,686. Somehow that does not seem fair and
equitable to us when each condo will be assessed $590.40. I wonder how this would
calculate out if you or other members of the city council lived at our address. Families
who chose to live and develop these yards are penalized for having large yards. I
welcome you or anyone else to drive by our home and see how beautiful our yard is. To
me that is so.mething that people can benefit from by driving by and it is our choice to put
money into our yard for everyone to enjoy. What will a curb and gutter do for anyone? It
is not to my benefit to pay almost $17,000 for something we don't want or need.
I don't know if these comments are appropriate to your city standards but respectfully ask
that they be considered when developing final plans and cost estimates. vVe would rather
see no "improvements" done û"1.an pay the unfair, outlandish assessments you are '
proposmg.
Sincerely,
,'\

East 31 5t St. Trail Alignment
Should the proposed East 31 5t Street (Project 2004-2) be ordered constructed after
the March 15th public hearing, Council is requested to choose an alignment for the
proposed trail - either the north or south side of the street.
Staff has recommended constructing the trail on the south side of 31 5t St. so that
31 5t St. homeowners would not have to cross a busy street to use the trail. In addition, the
proposed trail will connect to an existing trail on the south side of 31 5t St. adjacent to
Three Rivers Mobile Home Park. This existing trail extends south of 31 5t St. to connect
to the South Pines development. Another trail on the south side of 31 5t St. is currently
under construction, extending east from Enterprise Avenue to ulti~ately connect to CR
#91. '
A sparsely attended open house for the proposed East 31 5t Street improvements
was held on February 26th. The five open house attendees were asked their preference for
the location of the proposed bituminous trail. Two of the property owners preferred the
north side of 31 5t St., two property owners had no preference, and one preferred the south
side of the street.
The Operations Committee of the City Council met on Monday, March 8th, to
review draft plans for constructing the trail on either the north side of 31 5t St. or the south
side of 31 5t Street. The Operations Committee unanimously recommended constructing
the trail on the south side of :fl 5t Street. .
, ",
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Council is requested to accept the Operations Committee recommendation and
approve construction of the trail on the south side of 31 5t Street.

Well #8 - Authorization to Prepare Land Acquisition Agreement, and
Authorization to Contract for Design Consulting Services.
At the July 21, 2003 Council meeting, authorization was granted to drill a test
well on the Lawrence Construction property on the, west side of Pleasant Dr. south of 22od
Street. The test well indicated that the aquifer at that site should be able to be developed
as a municipal well site with a typical pumping capacity of 1200 to 1600 gallons per
minute. However, water samples taken from the aqùifer tested high for nitrate, at 12 ppm
which compares unfavorably to the maximum allowable limit of 10 ppm.
The nitrate test results are puzzling, as Wen #4, which is located 1,200 ft. away,
has only 2.5 ppm of nitrates. An optimist may suggÿst that the nitrate levels would drop
after the new well is developed and test pumped at 1500 gpm for several days.
Even though the test well tested high for nitrates, staff is recommending
constructing Well #8 at the test well location. Staff is proposing to take advantage of the
close location of Well #4, the large size of the Well #4 site, and the low nitrate levels at
Well #4, by connecting a raw water main and electrical feed from the proposed Well #8
site to the Well #4 location. Incorporating the W el~ #4 site will allow the following:
» SUBMERSIBLE PUMP - Develop Well #8 utilizing a submersible pump,
eliminating the need for a pumphouse and standby generation at the Well #8 site.
With the pump located in the well casing, disruption to existing and new
homeowners would be limited to the time period during which the well is under
construction. The short riser pipe and electrical cable needed for a submersible
pump application can be hidden within a small gazebo-like structure or even a
fake stone.
» WELL #4 PUMPHOUSE ADDITION - The Well #4 site is about 2/3 of acre in size,
190 ft. wide by 160 ft. deep. Instead of building a pumphouse at the Well #8
location, an addition can be constructed onto the Well #4 pumphouse to house
the Well #8 controls and electrical systems. The Well #4 'site is also large
enough to construct a water treatment addition to remove
nitrates if needed. In addition, the Well #4 site has an
existing 3 phase power source. 3 phase power would
need to be extended to the Well #8 location if a traditional
pumphouse were constructed. Along with the pumphouse
addition, emergency generation is also proposed that
-
ern' OF HItSTIN6S

"T T
.. ' - --, -" - .... "','" ",-,',..
would be able to serve both Well #8 and Well #4. The existing Well #4 fluoride
injection system can also be used for the Well #8 water.
~ WATER BLENDING - Should the nitrate level remain high after development and
test pumping of the proposed Well #8, the high nitrate water from the Well #8
raw water main could be blended with the low nitrate water from Well #4 prior to
release to the water distribution system, resulting in nitrate levels that do not
exceed maximum allowable limits.

Proposed Land Acquisition
Staff is requesting approval to draft a land acquisition agreement. Under the
concept discussed with the developer, the City would grant park land dedication credit for
the 0.38 acres proposed well site. The developer would pay park dedication fees to cover
the remaining park dedication requirements. The Water Fund would reimburse the Parks
Fund for the lost dedication fees. The developer has requested to be allowed to purchase
the well site at the City cost should a well not be developed at the site or if the City were
to abandon the well at some time in the future. The prepared agreement will be brought
back to the Council for approval and authorization to execute.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PURPOSE
This investigation focuses on Well and Pumphouse No.1 in Hasting's municipal water system. The
purpose of this investigation is to determine whether this facility should be maintained in the current water
system, based on the capital investment necessary for its repair and improvement, or if the well should be
sealed and the pumphouse demolished. Should the City decide to maintain Well and Pumphouse No.1 in
the system, this Report will discuss possible alternatives to accomplish this, including their probable
costs.
BACKGROUND
Well and Pumphouse No.1 is located at the northwest comer of East 9th Street and Vermillion Street.
Well No.1 was constructed in 1930, by McCarthy Well Company and due to its location, was referred to
as the Vermillion Street Welt Records indicate that the Vermillion Street Well was drilled to a total depth
of 915 feet, then backfilled to a depth of 575 feet. Two well casings were installed in the welf. A 16..inch
casing extended to a depth of 250 feet, and an inner 12-inch casing extended to a depth of 245 feet. At
this depth, the casings terminate in the middle of the Jordan bedrock aquifer. The remaining open hole
portion of the well, extending from 245 feet to 575 feet. exposes the Jordan, St. Lawrence, and Franconia
formations to supply water to the well. The Sf. Lawrence formation does not contain appreciable
quantities of water and is actually considered an aquatard, or a barrier to 1he flow of water between the
formations above and below it. Based on current well codes, the construction of this well would be
prohibited since it would enable water to be interchanged between the Jordan and Franconla formations.
After the Vermillion Street Well was completed. a brick pumphouse was built around the wellte protect
the well pump and motor and house the required electrical and mechanical systems. It Is reported that the
well originally produced about 600 gallons per minute (gpm) of water. The well pump was driven by a 75-
horse power electric motor. A gasoline backup motor and gear drive were included in the design of the
pumphouse to power the facility during power outages. At some point in the past, the gas engine and
gear drive were permanently removed.
The maintenance records of the Vermillion Street well indicate that it has had physical problems and a
history of pumping sand. In 1957. the sandstone formation (Jordan) collapsed, reducing the depth of the
wen to 276 feet. The well was bailed clear of the loosened sandstone and the open hole was recovered to
a depth of 390 feet. An examination of the well also revealed that the 12-inch casing pipe was leaking
water into the wen from above the aquifer water level. Photographs were taken at the casing joints and it
1
11699-01
.1 T
was discovered that part of the casing joint welds extended inside the casing pipe, which could be the
cause of the leaks. It was then decided that a 1 ()"inch casing should be installed Inside of 1he leaking
12-inch casing and the formation should be developed further to reduce the sand content of the water.
After this work was completed. the well pump was repaired and reinstaUedin the well and tested at a
capacity of 620 gpm, until the sand content cleared up.
By 1965, the well was pumping an excessive amount of sand and introducing air into the system. The
well pump was removed from the well and the well was cleared with clean water. A sounding of the well
demonstrated that the depth had again fmad in, this time to the 277 foot depth. The inner 1O-inch casing
was photographed and the pictures revealed fractures in the pipe between 222 and 232 feet. The entire
10-inch liner pipe was removed from the wellt the bad sections were replaced, and the casing was
reinstalled. This time the casing was grouted in place with cement grout. Itshoukl be noted that the
bottom 50 feet of the 1 O-inch string of pipe was reduced to S-inch pipe. After the casing was reinstalled,
the weil was bailed of sandstone and redeveloped. Approximately 32 cubic yards of sandstone were
removed. After the development work was complete, the well was pumped to w8stefortwo days,
however, the well continued to pump sand. After removing the well pump for the second time, a sounding
revealed that the well had sloughed in over 150 feet. The well was bailed back down to 575 feet and dry
ice was used to break the sandstone down. Only a small quantity of sand was loosened, $0 the pump
was placed in the wefl and pumping resumed. After three days of pumping, the sand content was reduced
to 10 parts per million (ppm) andthewetl was placed into service. For comparative purposes. sand free
pumping is usually defined as less than 2 ppm.
McCarthy Wen Company serviced Well No.1 again in 1979. This work consisted of the removal and
repair of the wen pump and removal of approximately 35 cubic yards of sandstone from the open hole. It
is also known that additional work of a similar nature has been performed. on Well No.1 since 1979.
however, it is not available to describe here.
CURRENT SITUATION
Well No.1 has not been used on a regular basis tor many years and is considered an emergency-only
facility. Several good reasons exist for placing the well into this category. including the following:
.
The pumping capacity of Well No.1 ¡sonty about 300 to 400 gpm, or less than 5% of the
combined City water supply capacity.
.
Well No.1 has been reduced in size to a-inch diameter and is crooked or out-of-plumb. making it
next to impossible to measure water levels or perform a TV survey of the condition of the casing.
.
The water quality otWell No.1 is interior to aft other City wells and usually generates complaints.
2
11699-01
'1T' T
-..- -,-..." - "'
.
Water produced by this well may be more likely to cause sanitary or bacteriological problems due
to the known construction problems plaguing this well, particularly considering the fact that the
City does not add a chemical disinfectant.
.
Most of the pumphouse equipment is aged; unreliable, out of service, or difficult to find parts for
repair.
.
There are no supervisory controls to operate this well automatically or in conjunction with any of
the other City wells, requiring City personnel to literally turn the well on and off by hand.
.
The electrical switchgear is very old, probably does not meet todays electrical codes, and may
pose risk to water system personnel.
Well Pumphouse No.1 is in need of several repairs. Many areas of the exterior brick walls and parap~ts
have disintegrating brick and mortar joints. This condition results from water leakage and freezelthaw
cycles. The building needs a new roof, window replacement or ¡nfining, and cleaning and painting. Other
items include removal of the old brick chimney and the installation of a skylight to facilitate well pump
removaVrepair. Appendix sheets A-1 through A-4, located at the end of this Report, pictorially chronicle
the existing condition of this structure.
The electrical and mechanical systems require replacement for long-term use of Well and Þumphouse
No.1. The electrical components consist of the motor starter, service switchgear, distribution panel,
transformer, lights, etc. They should be replaced to provide reliable and safe equipment The installation
of a remote telemetry unit (RTU) will allow the City SCADAsystem to control and monitor the facility.
Finally, the building heater should be replaced.
ALTERNATIVES
Based on the discussion above, four alternatives have been identified for consideration for the
improvement to or removal of Wen and Pumphouse No.1. They are as follows:
1.
Do nothing.
2.
Abandon Well No.1, demolish the pumphouse, and sell or deed the property to a neighbor or
other interested party.
3.
Rehabilitate the building and maintain the existing well pumping equipment and electrical and
mechanical systems for as long as possible.
4.
Complete rehabilitation of the building and all associated mechanical and electrical components.
3
11699-01
..'
-1' T
The costs associated with these alternatives vary considerably. Other than heating, Alternative No.1 will
only require capital for repair, if and when it is needed. The cost to repair any major equipment failure!
however, could be substantial. Alternative No.2 is estimated to cost $62,100 for the well sealing and
building demolition. Alternative No.3 is estimated to cost about $24,200 for the building renovation and
Alternative No.4 is estimated to cost $101,400 for the building renovations, pump replacement and
electrical and control improvements. These costs are broken down in Table Nos. 1 through 4, following
the body of this Report.
CONCLUSIONS
The conclusion of this Report is that Well and Pumphouse No.1 has exceeded its useful life. In particular,
it can also be concluded that Well and Pumphouse No.1;
.
Offers very little additional capacity 10 the water systems.
.
Currently does not have a backup power source or provisions for such to handle power outages.
.
If operated, will yield poor quality water for distribution to City customers.
.
Will require a considerable capital outlay for its restoration.
It is expected that the well will continue to produce sand and result in reduced capacity and high
maintenance cost if it is pumped regularly. Finally, it is possible that, considering the improvements made
to the City water.system over the last five years and proactive management of these facifities, this welt
may never be needed under any emergency condition.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the City either take the "do nothing" approach or seal the well and demolish the
pumphouse. rather than invest its resources on a facility that has very Jittle potential to be of value to the
water system. The fldo nothing" approach has the risk of failure when the facility may be most needed due
to the existing condition of the well and appurtenant equipment. It Is also entirely possible that the
pumphouse is aesthetically unacceptable to the City in its present state. Furthermore, it is felt that the
cost to repair and renovate this well and pumphouse could be better Invested in the water utility by
searching for a new well with better quality and higher capacity.

Hot Mix Asphalt Plant
Special Use Permit
2004 Renewal
The following infonnation is hereby submitted in connection with an application for the renewal of
our Special Use Permit dated June 19, 1989 and renewed each year thereafter to operate a hot mix
asphalt plant in a sand and gravel mine in the City of Hastings. The Applicant and Operator,
Commercial Asphalt Co. is a division of Tiller Corporation. The property is owned by C & D
Enterprises, a general partnership owned by Donald (Butch) Davies and Donald Cysiewski.
Location
The plant site is in a sand and gravel mine located in part in the City of Hastings and in part in
Ravenna Township. The site is north ofRavenna Trail (CSAR 54) near the intersection with
County Road 91. The address is 2445 County Road 54, Hastings, MN. The legal description is
attached as Figure 1.
The mine is operated under a current Soil Processing Permit issued by the City of Hastings to
Barton Sand & Gravel Co., also a division of Tiller Corporation and thereby related to Commercial
Asphalt Co.
The plant site is in the City of Hastings, near the western entrance to the mine, and south of the
Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad tracks. A small part of the western portion of
the property south of the railroad tracks is within the 100-Year Flood Boundary (flood plain) as set
forth on the Flood Insurance Rate Map for the City of Hastings dated December 19, 1981. The
plant is at an elevation of 694.2 feet, and therefore not in the flood plain.
Operating Hours
The current Pennit allows operations from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with no hauling before 7:00 AM.
However, situations arise such as public emergencies or accelerated work schedules, which may
require an extension of our nonnal operating hours.
During 2003 there were four requests for extended hours of operation primarily for hauling. The
first request, on August 5th, involved a private proj ect within the City of Hastings. Our customer
requested a 'l'2 hour extension for hauling in order to complete the proj ect that day which allowed
them to mobilize their equipment to start their next project immediately the following day. The
plant was not involved in this request.
The second request, on August 13th, was for a one hour extension for hauling in order to complete a
City of Cottage Grove project. Allowing completion of the project that day minimized traffic delays
in the project area during peak travel times the following morning and also allowed our customer to
mobilize their equipment for the next day's project.
The third and forth requests were on August 21 st. The first of these was for a state project at Afton
State Park. The Park required that the project be completed in one day and in order to accomplish
this, our customer needed to haul from 6:15 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. and plant hours were extended
----.."""------,-",,,.,^'
-T T
from 5:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The second request for this day was to extend hauling until 5:45 p.m.
to allow our customer to complete the overlay project on Dakota County Road 46 just west of
Hastings. Completion of this project minimized traffic delays on County Road 46 during peak
travel times the following morning and also allowed our customer to mobilize their equipment for
the next day's project.
Estimated Volume
The amount of hot mix asphalt produced is dependent on market conditions and demand. We
estimate production in 2004 will be approximately 150,000 tons.
Traffic Patterns
Traffic patterns to and from the plant primarily involve the west entrance to the mine, Ravenna Trail
(CSAR 54) and County Highway 91. Traffic moves east and west on Ravenna Trail or north and
south on County Road 91. In addition to Ravenna Trail, traffic to and from an area west of the site
also uses U.S. Highway 61 for north and south travel through Hastings.
Traffic Control Program
The safety with which traffic moves to and from our plant and its impact on the health, safety and
welfare of the people of the community is a major consideration to us. Safe trucking operations are
dependent on the policies and procedures followed, including the condition of the equipment and
the attitudes and driving practices of the individual drivers. Our goal is safe and courteous trucking
activities to and from our plant to minimize impact on the people around us. We have employed a
traffic control program in the interest of safe trucking operations, which includes the following:
1. Access to the plant is limited to the entrance that presently exists.
2. A stop sign is maintained at the exit from the site.
3. Signs have been placed near the plant to encourage safe and courteous driving practices in
accordance with all traffic rules and regulations.
4. We follow-up di.rectly with drivers or customers who are not driving safely.
Traffic Volumes
The quantity of material a truck can haul is dependent on the legal load limit for each specific truck
and the weight restrictions on the streets and roads of the intended travel routes. The estimated
average load size for trucks hauling material from this plant is 19 tons.
Based on the production capacity of the plant, which is approximately 400 tons per hour, and the
estimated average load size, the peak number of loads from the plant in any hour during the season
will be 21.
Air Pollution Control Equipment
The plant is equipped with a fabric filter baghouse to control particulate matter emissions (dust).
Plant operations require a pennit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) which
specifies perfonnance testing to demonstrate compliance with established standards. This permit
also addresses rèquirements regarding allowable fuels and the control of fugitive emissions (dust
from truck traffic) through the application of water.
------,---,'., --- --_.---,
-1' ,
A substantial area of the plant site used by trucks entering and leaving was hard surfaced in May of
2002. This is another measure used to control dust generated from truck traffic.
Petroleum Storage Facilities and Back-up Containment System
The operations of the plant require storage facilities on site for burner fuel, diesel fuel and asphalt
cement. These facilities are registered with the MPCA. The tanks have a containment system that
will contain the tank contents in case of a spill. The storage facilities and containment are above the
1 DO-year flood elevation.
Security
Site access is restricted to authorized persons. The site entrance has a gate that is locked during
non-operating hours. There is also a series of natural barriers, fences and earthen berms that limit
access. Trespassing or infringement by unauthorized persons has not historically been a problem at
this site.

REQUEST
Barton Sand and G ravel seek special use permit renewal approval to operate a soil
processing permit at 2445 County Road 54. .
Three Year Time Period
The length of the permit has been increased from on~ to three years, although an annual
report of activities would still be presented to the City Council.
The City approved the original special use permit in 1984, subject to several conditions.
Since then, annual approval of the permit has been r~quested and granted by the city. The
current application is similar to applications made in the past that have all been approved
with similar conditions. The Planning Department has not received any operational
complaints. .
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the Special Use Permit
(including the extension of the term to three years) at the February 23, 2004 Meeting
subject to the conditions of the attached resolution. No one spoke for or against the item
during the public hearing.
Wells
Commissioners questioned the existence and sealing of wells on the property. According
to Mike Caron of Barton Sand and Gravel there is one active well associated with an
abandoned farmstead. The well is used periodically. The 2000 EAW for the site states
"the well to be properly abandoned according to Minnesota Department of Health wells
codes if the farmhouse and associated building are removed as part of the mining
operation." The requirement is documented as condition 8 of the special use permit.

2000 EAW In 2000, City staff worked with the applicant to clarify the boundaries,
operations, and conditions of their soil processing permit. The City also required the
applicant to go through a discretionary environmental assessment worksheet (EA W). The
purpose of the EAW was to determine any potential environmental impacts of the mining
operation to address as part of the special use permitting process. Many environmental
impacts were identified as part of the EA Wand conditions were added to the approval to
address these impacts.
SPECIAL USE PERMIT REVIEW
Existing Operation
Mining and soil processing has occurred on site since 1984. The current permit allows
them to operate from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday. However, their
normal operating hours are Monday through Friday. Normal truck routes moving to and
from the operation are County State Aid 54 or County Road 91 to Trunk Highway 316.
Please see attached "2002 Soil Processing Permit" for more information.
Access
Site access is unchanged. Two accesses are provided from County Road 54. The
applicant shall be prohibited from routing truck traffic along West 10th Street between Trunk
Highway 61 and 55 for hauling purposes. All accesses must be gated or chained to prohibit
unauthorized access to the site.
Critical Areas\Shoreland Areas
The entire site is located in the Rural Open Space district of the Minnesota River Critical
Area Corridor. There are many natural features on the property. The property includes
flood plains, shore lands, wetlands and is in the MNRRA Critical Area. Land within 300ft of
the Vermillion River is also located in the City's Shore land area. The Vermillion River is
defined as a transitional river. The following conditions shall be added to the permit in
accordance with state critical area requirements and the City's Shore land Ordinance:
1 .
The earthen berms shall be immediately seeded with a native grass mixture
after they are constructed.
2.
The site above the water table shall also be planted with native vegetation at
the end of mining activities on the site.
3.
Native trees shall be planted in the shore land impact zone that has been
affected by historic farming practices (pre-mining) as part of the reclamation
of this site.

Soil Processing Permit
2004 Renewal
The following infonnation is submitted in connection with an application for the renewal
of our Soil Processing Pennit dated June 1988, amended in September 2000, and
renewed each year since 1988 to operate a sand and gravel mine in the City of Hastings.
The Applicant and Operator, Barton Sand & Gravel Co., is a division of Tiller
Corporation. The property is owned by C & D Enterprises, a general partnership owned
by Donald (Butch) Davies and Donald Cysiewski.
Location
The site is located in part in the City of Hastings and in part in Ravenna Township. The
site is north of Ravenna Trail (CSAR 54) near the intersection with County Road 91.
The legal description is attached as Figure 1 and a location map is attached as Figure 2.
Regulatory Update
The City of Hastings pennit, as amended, requires that wetlands be delineated. The
delineation and staking of the wetlands was completed in September 2001. A copy of the
Wetland Classification, Identification and Delineation Report was supplied to the City in
February 2002. The wetland boundary was located using GPS and has been added to the
topographic map.
The Dakota County pennit, also amended in 2000, requires sampling and testing of water
contained in the pond created by mining. This pond is contiguous between Ravenna
Township and the City of Hastings. The purpose of the testing is to assure the absence of
petroleum products in the water. The test results for 2003 are attached.
Operating Hours
The current Peimit allows operations from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through
Saturday except holidays. However, situations arise such as public emergencies or
accelerated work schedules, which may require an extension of our nonnal operating
hours. There were no requests to extend the normal operating hours during 2003.
Traffic Patterns
Traffic patterns to and from the site primarily involve Ravenna Trail (CSAR 54) and
County Highway 91. Traffic moves east and west on Ravenna Trail or north and south
on County Road 91. In addition to Ravenna Trail, traffic also uses U.S. Highway 61 for
north and south travel through Hastings.
Traffic Control Program
The safety with which traffic moves to and from our site and its impact on the health,
safety and welfare of the people of the community is a major consideration to us. Safe
trucking operations are dependent on the policies and procedures followed, including the
condition of the equipment and the attitudes and driving practices of the individual
drivers. Our goal is safe and courteous trucking activities to and from our site to
--'--'---'-----" - "-"...
'-T'T
minimize impact on the people around us. We have employed a traffic control program
in the interest of safe trucking operations which includes the following:
1. Access to the site is limited to the two entrances that presently exist.
2. Stop signs are maintained at both exits trom the site.
3. Signs have been placed by the scale to encourage safe and courteous driving practices
in accordance with all traffic rules and regulations.
4. We follow-up directly with drivers or customers who are not driving safely.
Estimated Volume
The amount of material produced is dependent on market conditions and demand. We
estimate production in 2004 will be approximately 200,000 tons.
Reclamation
The approved Mining and Reclamation Plan is attached hereto as Figure 3. Mining will
continue in Phase 1. Slopes, as depicted on the Mining and Reclamation Plan, will be
established as materials are removed. Once mining has been completed in Phase 1, final
grading will take place and vegetation will be established in this area.
Security
Site access is restricted to authorized persons. Each site entrance has a gate that is locked
during non-operating hours. There is also a series of natural barriers, fences and earthen
benns that limit access. Trespassing or infringement by unauthorized persons has not
historically been a problem at this site.

Re: Well Concerns
At a recent Hastings City Planning Commission meeting concerns were brought up
about a well located on property we lease for mining. I contacted the property
owners and they gave me the following information.
There is only one well on the property and it is associated with a farm home. The
well has been used periodically during the past five years. The farm home is
cuITently vacant and the property owners are having discussions with the
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) about the possibility of
locating a waste water treatment facility on the property. If the facility is
constructed the home will be demolished and the well properly sealed and
abandoned. The property owners do not plan to make any decisions about the well
or home until discussions with MCES are concluded.
Tiller Corporation offers you the following information regarding the well. In 2000
an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W) addressing our mining operation
and asphalt plant was completed. Item 13 in the EA W states "There is one well on
site which supplies water to the farmhouse. This well will be properly abandoned
according to Minnesota Department of Health well code if the farmhouse and
associated buildings are removed as part of the mining operation."
During the EA W comment period Dakota County submitted a comment letter dated
July 12, 2000. The comment letter states "Abandonment of the one on-site well also
needs to follow the requirements of Dakota County Ordinance No. 114."
On August 7, 2000 the City determined there was not a need to do an Environmental
Impact Statement and proceeded to issue conditional use permits to Barton Sand &
Gravel Co. for mining and to Commercial Asphalt Co. for operation of a hot-mix
asphalt plant. In order to address the comment letter submitted by Dakota County,
the City imposed a condition that requires abandoned on-site wells be abandoned
according to Dakota County Ordinance No. 114.
It is our intention to continue to abide by the conditions of the permit and if the well
will no longer be used it will be properly abandoned.

minimum size and width requirements of the underlying R-2 Zoning District.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the variances at the
March 8, 2004 meeting. No one from the public spoke for or against the item during the
public hearing. Impact ot the proposed Shoreland Ordinance changes on the lot and
comments from the DNA were discussed. Commissioners concluded the variance was
consistent with the proposed amendment to allow development on lots created prior to
the Shoreland Ordinance, provided minimum zoning requirements are met.

SHORELAND MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS
Shoreland Management Regulations
Shoreland Management rules are regulated in Chapter 16 of the city code. Although the
property is not adjacent to Lake Isabelle, Shoreland Management Regulations apply.
All variances require a public hearing, and notification of the Department of Natural
Resources for comment.
Shoreland Classification
Lake Isabelle is classified as a "Recreational Development" Lake.
residences are a permitted use.
Single Family
Shoreland Variance Criteria
Section 16.03, Subd. 2. outlines the procedures for granting variances as follows:
A variance may not circumvent the general purposes and intent of this ordinance.
No variance may be granted that would allow any use that is prohibited in the
zoning district in which the subject property is located. Conditions may be imposed
in the granting of a variance to ensure compliance and to protect adjacent
properties and the public interest. In considering a variance request, the board of
adjustment must also consider whether the property owner has reasonable use of
the land without the variance, whether the property is used seasonally or year-
round, whether the variance is being requested solely on the basis of economic'
considerations, and the characteristics of development on adjacent properties.
Department of Natural Resources
Copies of the hearing notice and plans have been forwarded to DNR for official review.
Although no formal correspondence recommendation has been received, the DNR has
indicated it would oppose the variance.
VARIANCE REVIEW
Proposed Shoreland Ordinance Amendment
The City is proposing to amend the current shoreland ordinance. The amendment would
allow development on lots created prior to June 16, 1994 (date of original adoption) without
a variance provided they meet minimum zoning requirements. The proposed amendment
was forwarded to the Department of Natural Resources for review, and the city is awaiting
comment.
Analysis
The property owner has failed to provide an applicable hardship as required for granting a
variance under the shoreland code. Although a variance would still be necessary under

Approve Second Reading & Hold Public Hearing for Amendment to
Chapter 5-Fireworks Regulations
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Council is requested to hold a public hearing and approve the second reading to
amend current City Code Section 5.53 to comply with state fireworks regulations.
The Council approved this ordinance in 2003 before the state legislature finalized
their legislation regarding regulatiOf1s of fireworks. Thus, the changes proposed are
to make City Code compliant wfth state statute. The two major changes
associated with this request have to do with background investigations and
minimum insurance requirements, both of which are not permitted by state
statute. Additionally, 6tate 6tatute limit6 the amount citie6 can charge, 60 6taff i6 al60
recommending that a re60lution amending licen6e fee6 al60 be con6idered at the time the

, Second Series
An Ordinance of the City of Hastings Establishing
Fireworks Regulation and Establishing Penalties
for Violations Within the City of Hastings
The City Council of the City of Hastings hereby ordains:
I. Hastings City Code Chapter 5 is Amended by Adding the Following
New Section 5.53.
Section 5.53
Subd 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to regulate the sale,
storage, display, and possession of permitted consumer fireworks
in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the general
public. The City Council makes the following findings regarding the
need to license and regulate the sale, distribution, storage, and
display of fireworks permitted under State Law.
a. Consumer fireworks contain pyrotechnic chemical compositions
that are combustible; accordingly, the unregulated
accumulation, storage, display, use, and sale of these items
present a fire safety hazard; and
b. The improper disposal of consumer fireworks presents
environmental hazards; and
c. Due to their short-term and mobile nature, it is more difficult and
demanding of City staff and public safety resources to enforce
compliance with City ordinances and state law for temporary
and transient sales of consumer fireworks than it is for
established, permanent businesses.
Subd. 2.
Definition. For the purposes of this section, "Consumer Fireworks"
will have the same definition as contained in Minnesota Statutes,
Section 624.20, Subd. 1 (c), and as may be amended. Wire or
wood sparklers of not more than 100 grams of mixture per item,
other sparkling items which are non-explosive and non-aerial and
contain 75 grams or less of chemical mixture per tube or a total of
200 grams or less for multiple tubes, these include:
a. Cylindrical Fountain. Upon ignition, a shower of colored
sparks or smoke and sometimes a whistling effect is
produced.
Cone Fountain. The effect is the same as that of a
cylindrical fountain. When more than 1 cone is mounted on

c.
d.
a common base, total pyrotechnic composition may not
exceed 200 grams.
Illuminating Torch.
Wheel. Pyrotechnic device intended to be attached to a post
or tree by means of a nail or string. Upon ignition, the wheel
revolves, producing a shower of color and sparks and
sometimes, a whistling effect.
Ground Spinner. A device venting out an orifice usually on
the side of the tube, similar in operation to a wheel but
intended to be placed flat on the ground and ignited. The
rapidly spinning device produces a shower of sparks and
color.
Flitter Sparkler. Narrow paper tube attached toa stick or
wire that produces color and sparks upon ignition. The
paper at one end of the tube is ignited to make the device
function.
Flash/Strobe. Emit a bright light.
Novelty items such as snakes and glow worms, smoke
devices, or trick noisemakers which include paper
streamers, party poppers, string poppers snappers, and drop
pops, each consisting of not more that twenty-five
hundredths grains of explosive mixture.
e.
f.
g.
h.
License Required. No person shall sell or possess for sale or
store "consumer" fireworks, as defined in this section, without first

SUBJECT: Lower St. Croix Water Management Organization
Recommended Ci
Council Action
It is recommended that the City Council take action regarding the City of Hastings
membership and participation in the Lower S1. Croix Water Management Organization.
~
Mayor Werner and City Staff recently received the attached letter from the Chair of the
Lower St. Croix Water Management Organization, Jim Fitzpatrick. As the Council will
note from review the of the letter, it is an invitation to the City of Hastings to participate
in the Lower St. Croix Water Management Organization, both in its management and
financing. Staff needs Council direction and action on its interest in participating with
this organization. As you will note from the letter, Hastings represents 1.00 % of the
WMO on land area and tax capacity, so our financial contribution will likely be small. .
Yet unless there is participation by an elected official or citizen serving on the "fourth
seat for that member" on the Board, the City's ability to influence would likely be slight.

Hastings, MN 55033
Dear Sir:
This letter is to inform you that the Lower St. Croix Water Management Organization
(LSCWMO) is again functioning, under a Joint Powers Agreement signed last fall by
Denmark Township, the City of Afton and the City of Cottage Grove. Since the City of
Hastings contains 253 acres adjacent to Denmark Township in Washington County, that
land will be under the jurisdiction of the LSCWM 0 for purposes of groundwater and
surface water management.
The City of Hastings did not participate in the LSCWMO when it was functioning in the
1980' s and 19~0' s. As we reestablish ourselves as a water management organization, we
would like to invite the City of Hastings to participate in the LSCWMO, both in its
management and in its financing. We have contracted with Emmons & Olivier
Resources, Inc. (EOR) to write our second-generation water management plan, and we
are entering the public input phase.
If you choose to participate, the LSCWMO Board of Supervisors would consider
rewriting its Joint Powers Agreement to add Hastings as a fourth "member" municipality
and add a fourth seat for that member on our Board. The LSCWMO will be financed by
annual budget appropriations, based 50% on land area in the WMO and 50% on tax
capacity of land in the WMO. On both counts, Hastings presently represents 1 % of the
WMO. Copies of our current Joint Powers Agreement, contract with EOR, and minutes
of our meetings to date are available if you are interested.
The LSCWMO budget for 2004 is $66,000, which includes the projected fee payable to
EOR of $47,480 for the development of our new water management plan. We intend to
apply for special taxing authority to levy ad valorum taxes by parcel, but will not do so
until after our water management plan is approved by the Minnesota Board of Water and
Soil Resources sometime late in fall 2004.
"'--'--"-.-"- -_..................,.,.,-
, -.-r T
/
If you choose not to participate, we would appreciate written confirmation of your
intentions. In your absence, Denmark Township is willing to take on both representation
and LSCWMO financing for Hastings' land in Washington County. In return, we would
ask that you acknowledge LSCWMO' s jurisdiction over water management issues for
Hastings' land in Washington County. Ifwe have not heard from you by March 31,
2004, we will proceed as though you have declined to participate. '
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,

2:00 a.m. Bar Closing Follow Up
Per council's request when the approval of the 2:00 a.m. bar closing was adopted by the
City, this matter would be reviewed after six months.
.
The six month time period has come and I have cçntacted all of my shift supervisors to see
if the change in the ordinance allowing 2:00 a.m. bar closing has made a difference in their
call load or shifts. Supervisory staff has advised 'that they have seen no drastic impact in
the call load or any prob1ems with the 2:00 a.m..,.bar closing. I also ran a query of the
amount of OUI arrests and charges for the six months prior to the change in this law
compared to the six months after. From March. 1, 2003 through August 31st, 2003 this
department had 91 OUI charges and arrests. This was prior to the 2:00 a.m. bar closing
time. From September 1 st, 2003 through March 9th, 2004 there have been 83 OUI charges
and arrests, which is approximately the same but ~lightly less than the previous six months
when there was a 1 :00 a.m. bar closing time. ",
"
Therefore based'on this information and feedback.from my supervisors working nights, I do
not feel there has been any change in our call load or workload due to the change in the
ordinance allowing bars to stay open until 2:00 a.m. .
If you have any other questions concerning this information please do not hesitate to

Re50lution-- Precinct Boundaries Established
VIII -C-6
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Council is requested to approve the attached resolution approving some precinct
line adjustments to create Ward 1.. Precinct 3 and Ward 4.. Precincts 1 & 2.
As you may recall.. when the ward boundaries were approved in April 2002, Wards 1
and 4 had to have two precincts added (one in each ward) to accommodate the
state redistricting map which placed two annexed properties in Legislative District
36.. while the rest of the City of Hastings is in Legislative District 57. These
precincts were not useful in dividing up the wards in an efficient manner to
facilitate voting.
Therefore, in July 2002.. the City petitioned to the Secretary of State to remove
these additional precincts (Ward 1, Precinct 3 & Ward 4, Precinct 2). The request
was approved by the 50S; however, due to language in state statute, the City was
not able to "remove" these precincts in time for the 2002 election. The
appropriate changes to remove these insignificant precinct boundaries were
approved by the City Council in September 2003.
As staff prepares for the 2004 election season, there has arisen a need to
evaluate whether it is logistically appropriate to divide Wards 1 & 4 into precincts
to facilitate voting. Staff has prepared a map that illustrates what the new
precinct boundaries would are being proposed for Wards 1 & 4 (attached). You will
notice on the map that Wards 2 and 3 are shaded the same color; there are no
changes proposed for these wards for 2004, thus the map reflects only the
changes proposed. When maps are prepared for public information, all wards and
polling locations will be listed as they are approved by the City Council. This change
would allow voters to move more quickly through the polling place on Election Day,
as there would be fewer registered voters being directed to each polling location. If
approved, new maps and boundary descriptions will be forwarded to Dakota County,
Washington County, and the Office of the Secretary of State.
-_ee__,_e'__,_~"--",,,-,
-T'T
"--___e,_e, , ,--._e,e__,_,
Associated with this request are several related issues that staff has identified
which will also need consideration. They are:
*
the following
Staff has identified
locations as potential sites for the 2004 elections:
0 Ward 1, Precinct 2: City Hall
0 Ward t Precinct 3: Armory (current location)
0 Ward 4, Precinct 1: SEAS
0 Ward 4, Precinct 2: Knights of Columbus Hall
Once confirmation has been made with each of these sites on the availability
on Election Day, Council will then be asked to approve these locations for
2004 elections. That request is expected to be before the Council in April or
May 2004
*
. Staff has already begun contacting previous
Head and Assistant Election Judges to gauge interest for serving in the
2004 elections. Additionally, we will need two more head judges and two
more assistant judges to serve at the new polling locations. Finally, staff
has developed a judge recruitment strategy (website, direct mailings in
utility billings, City newsletter, Gazette) to use to increase interest in
serving as an election judge. Council will be asked to appoint judges the
summer and fall for the Primary and General elections.
*
. . Unexpended budget money from 2003
budget was transferred to 2004 in anticipation of this change, in addition
to funds available in ERF account. Staff is currently researching projected
additional expenditures, but feels comfortable that the budget will be
sufficient for the additional polling locations. Staff is working with Dakota
County to coordinate any additional equipment that will be needed. As part
of our cost sharing agreement with the County, new equipment needed due
to the creation of new precincts is eligible for the 750;0/250;0 price split.
*
~. Staff is also developing a public informational strategy to
communicate this change to the public. Ideas for communicating the new
precinct boundaries include, but are not necessarily limited to: city website,
cable, direct mailing to utility customers, information on the radio and Star
Gazette, information through other community publications, and a booth at
Rivertown Days. Other ideas are certainly welcome.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Authorizing Submittal of Application to Army Corps of Engineers
For Construction of Public Docks
Recommended Ci
Council Action
It is recommended that the City Council take action authorizing the submittal of an
application to the Army Corp Engineers for construction of public docks in the
Mississippi River. A blank copy of the application form is attached for your information.
~
Throughout the last several months, Staff has been working with the new owners of
Hub's Marine, Mark and Monica Frazer on a project that would result in the construction
of public docks in the Mississippi River. Most recently, the Park and Recreation
Committee of the City Council conducted a meeting on March 1, 2004 that included
discussion with Mark and Monica Frazer ,on the public dock project. The Park and
Recreation Committee of the City Council supports the submittal of the application to
the ACOE, recognizing that significant work will need to be completed before the docks
are constructed.
Mark and Monica Frazer have completed a significant amount of work and research that
is captured in th~ attached document entitled: "Hastings Dock ProposaL" Upon review
of the document and through discussions at the meeting of the Park and Recreation
Committee, there are at least four areas that need to be explored and researched
further:
Permit: The action before the City Council initiates the permitting process and will likely
lead to further review and research with the various regulatory agencies.
Initial Construction and Financing: The actual construction and financing of the
docks will require discussion with the community and a determination by the City
Council of the public investment in the docks. While the current 2004 Budget does not
allocate funds for the construction of the docks, allocation could be considered as part
of the 2005 Budget. Also, involvement from the community and certain organizations
from a fund raising perspective will need consideration.
On-Going Maintenance and Operations: Various questions will need to be
addressed relating to on-going maintenance and operations of the docks.
'-I T
No-Wake Zone: The proposal includes a reference to the adoption of a no-wake zone
in the area to allow for ease of use, and greater safety. With a possibility of an
Interpretative Center, combined with the existing public boat launch, the construction of
a public dock in the area, lends itself to the potential need for further discussion of a no-
wake zone in the area.
These are four areas of research and discussions that will need to take place in an
effort achieve the goal of having public docks constructed. Credit belongs to Mark and
Monica Frazer to initiate this discussion and conduct significant research on this topic.
Staff recommends that approval be given to submit the application to the AGOE, and to
continue with this project, addressing the various questions and issues that will evolve
in each of the four categories addressed above. The momentum has started on this
project, a it should continue. Support for submittal of the application will do just that.

Hasting Public Dock Proposal

Proposal for
Hastings Public Dock
December 10, 2003
I.
Introduction
The need for a public dock in the Hastings area has been a topic of discussion for many
years. The Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce receives requests several times a year
for Hastings to supply a dock for boaters to park and have access to businesses. Hastings
is an ideal spot for a short lay-over, as boats can be kept waiting up to three hours for
Lock and Dam #2 to switch over when barges move through. A public dock would
increase access to downtown Hastings and bring additional revenue to local businesses.
It would promote the City of Hastings by providing a valuable service to boaters who
wait for the lock to turn over, or come to the Hastings area of the river on recreational
craft.
In recent years there has been some serious effort to designate a workable location. A
recent plan outlined three possible locations for a dock: 1) on the west bank of the
Mississippi River in the vicinity of the public launch, a short walk from downtown, 2)
.
across the Mississippi river from Hastings in the vicinity of Hub's Landing with access to
downtown via the highway bridge or by ferry across the channel, and 3) in the vicinity of
Hastings Marina.
This document proposes a dock in the first location as it provides the easiest access to a
variety of businesses in downtown Hastings, presents a currently available location, and
eliminates the need for any kind of transportation service to shuttle boaters. This location
is about Y4 mile from downtown and would be an easy walk. The dock can be installed
without any modifications to the site. Both Hub's Landing and Hastings Marina
currently offer no "turn-key" location, and modifications such as dredging would add
significant cost to the plan. This site also offers the added advantage of being adjacent to
the site where plans are made to build an interpretive center.

II.
Placement of the Dock
The dock would be placed south of the Hastings Public Launch and north of where the
Mississippi River turns east (see attached aerial view picture). This site offers easy
access to the Hastings community while not impeding upon commercial river traffic.
While it would be ideal to place a city dock somewhere near the stone steps at Levee
Park, this site is not possible. The navigable channel follows the Hastings side of the
shore so that all barge traffic passes within feet of the steps. Any dock in this area would
present an obstacle for commercial traffic.
To ensure that the chosen site presents a viable location, a number of interested parties
were queried for their input. U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers (CaE) County Manager Dan
Seeman, Upper Area Lockmaster Joe Dvorak, and Supervisor Joe Vanta all indicated that
the CaE would be comfortable with placement of the dock at the chosen location.
Department of Natural Resources (DNR) area hydrologist Molly Shodeen indicated that
placement of a city dock was not a concern for the DNR, and referred inquiries to the
COE and to the City of Hastings. Members of the Upper Mississippi Waterway
Association (UMW A and also referred to by some as the Barge Owners Association),
which includes river pilots and commercial river business personnel, indicated that this
location presents no navigational obstacle. It is worth noting that several of the
individuals who were interviewed expressed surprise that a city dock was not put in place
already.
The site chosen for the dock is advantageous in several ways. It is about a quarter-mile
walk into the downtown business area where one can shop or enjoy a meal. It is adjacent
to the site chosen for the interpretive center, so that boaters can stop and visit the center.
It is far enough south of the public launch that the dock would not be used as a place to
moor boats after launching while vehicles with trailers are being parked. The site for the
dock also provides ample room for expansion should a longer dock be desirable in the
future.

Hastings Proposed Public Dock Site.
Arial View
After talking with John
Grossman from the city of
Hastings we were able to get
the history pertaining to a
proposal some years back.
We talked with the Army
Corp of Engineers and found
that this area posed the least
amount of risk to the barge
traffic. We then talked with
the Upper Mississippi
Waterway Association
(UMW A) to get their input.
This association contains
many in individuals within
the barge industry. The
members that we had talked
to were ok with this plan as it
would not impede river
traffic.
Looking at all three options this site
was chosen for the proximity to the
downtown area, the new interpretive
center, and the public launch.

Cost
A public dock can take many fonns. It is advisable that the dock be a straight structure
without fingers, as this will allow for the most flexibility in tenns of the number and size
of boats that use the dock. A straight dock will also incur less damage during winter, as
dock fingers are prone to damage from flowing ice or other debris that comes down river.
The chosen site could accommodate a dock that is more than 200 feet long, but cost
would increase with the length of the structure. To gain a sense of approximate cost, bids
were requested for a dock that is eight feet wide by eighty feet long. Eighty feet of dock
provides enough space for three or four boats to park, depending on the size of the boat.
Oftentimes, when flotillas come in to dock, they will tie off two or three boats deep so
that the dock can accommodate several more boats. In higher water, both sides of the
dock could be used to accommodate additional boats.
In response to the request for bids, River City Welding bid the cost for an 80' by 8' dock
with a 40' by 5' handicap accessible ramp, including installation of the dock on pilings,
at $28,200 (see attached bid from River City Welding). The City of Hastings would need
to pour a concrete slab to anchor the ramp and lay any additional pavement to connect to
the walking path into the downtown area. The 80' length was chosen as a starter dock.
Once in place, it would be relatively easy to add additional dockage if it is desired. The
cost of additional dockage would be lower as there would be no need for an additional
approach.
IV.
Safety
The ramp to the dock would be constructed with a guardrail to keep pedestrians on the
walkway. The pitch of the ramp will change depending upon the level of the water, but
the rampway will be long enough so that it will not become too steep to navigate. The
approach and the ramp will be handicap accessible, with additional features that meet the
requirements set for by the Persons with Disability Act.
5
---.T T
..-.....--,-.---.., -._, -.,._---_..._-_._-_.~.
The dock itself, being eight feet wide, offers enough room so that any chance of falling
off the dock will be minimized. Current water safety regulations state that any child 13
years of age or under is required to wear a life vest at all times while on a boat or dock,
and violations are punishable by fines. However, safe use of the city dock will ultimately
rest with the individuals who use it.
The public dock in Prescott, Wisconsin can provide a model for how to structure the use
of a public dock in Hastings. Currently, the Prescott dock has a four-hour limit, to
discourage loitering at the dock and ensure the availability of dock space for additional
boats. There is no fee charged for the use of the dock, but the city does allow youngsters
to work the dock for tips. It is treated like a public parking space on the street. Police
could patrol past the dock as they patrol other public areas of the city.
The river zone near the dock would be declared a 'No Wake' zone to minimize disruption
of the water surface. This will make the dock safer to traverse, as the dock will not pitch
in response to incoming waves. Eliminating wakes will also protect the dock from
damage due to the stress of changes in the water surface, and protect boats from damage
when they are tied off. Declaration of a 'no wake' zone would have the added benefit of
making launches safer and easier for those using the public launch just upstream.
Contrary to popular opinion, commercial traffic will not be affected by the declaration of
a 'no wake' zone. The large tugboats are constructed so that they do not throw a wake,
and they move slowly enough through the bend in the river that waves are not generated
off the front of barges. Those most affected by such an ordinance would be larger
cruising recreational craft.
The Mississippi River lies within the jurisdiction of both Dakota and Washington
Counties. County governments ultimately declare 'no wake' zones on any body of water,
but they do so upon the recommendation of the local governing authority, which in this
case is the Hastings City Council. Dakota County currently patrols the portion of the
6
.-----.----...-.,.----,--, , ',- ........ '. -.
. .---r . .Y
Mississippi River south of Lock & Dam #2, with Sheriff's department personnel and
watercraft. Dakota County would enforce a 'no wake' zone, and would collect fines for
violations. Dakota County officials who were queried for their input on a city dock in
Hastings indicated that they feel comfortable with any plan to install a city dock and
believe it to be a good idea. Dakota County currently has a slip for their water patrol at
Hastings Marina.
V.
Environmental Issues
A representative from the Fish and Wildlife Service indicated that there were no
protected species that would hinder the placement of a public dock in the Hastings area.
VI.
Insurance
A public dock is not considered a liability and insurance needs are negligible when
compared to other city structures. Dave Dotson, an agent with the Macguire Agency, (a
local business insurance provider) said that the cost of adding a public dock to the public
policy would be minimal. Hastings currently insures a number of facilities that cater to
recreation, such as the Hastings pool, public parks and sports fields, etc. Adding a public
dock to the existing policy would at minimal cost.
Another option for insuring the dock would be to seek insurance through the League of
Minnesota Cities (LMC). Other public docks on the Minnesota side of the Mississippi
River, such as those in Red Wing and Winona, own their public docks and insure them
through the LMC Insurance Trust.
A third option could be to run the dock as is done in Afton, on the 81. Croix River. The
public dock in Afton is owned by the city, and leased to the Afton House Restaurant, who
is responsible for insurance on the dock.
7
"~-I T
VII.
Maintenance and upkeep
The dock would be built of weather resistant materials and supported by sealed floats.
Maintenance needs would be minimal, entailing occasional replacement of decking or the
like. Once the docks are installed, they would float up and down on pilings and would
stay in place year round. The ramp will be installed in such a way that it will adjust with
the change in water level also. There would be no need to move or reset the docks
because of water level or season.
VIII. Potential Revenue
The portion of the Mississippi River that flows past Hastings is referred to as Pool 3.
Pool three is the portion of the river south of Lock and Dam #2 (located at Mile Mark
815.3), just north of Hastings, downstream to Lock & Dam #3 (located at Mile Mark
797.0), which is south of Treasure Island Casino. Pool three also includes the S1. Croix
River. Pool 3 is among the most heavily traveled waterways of the Upper Mississippi,
and the revenue potential in this area is huge.
Recent COE data indicates there were 15,745 recreational craft that passed through Lock
.
& Dam #2 in the six boating months (April through September) of2003. While this
number is impressive, it is important to note that a majority of boaters prefer to stay on
the pool because locking through takes time and some boaters are uncomfortable with the
process. So, while nearly 16,000 boats went through the Lock & Dam, there were also a
substantial number of boats that launched or traveled from places already on Pool 3.
Hub's Landing launched over 1000 boats during the 6-month boating period, and while
data has not been requested from Hastings Marina, it can be assumed that at least another
1000 boats were launched there. The Hastings Public Access launches roughly 30%
more boats than Hub's Landing, which would total approximately 1300 launches in a
season. Every day there are boats that make the trip up to Lock & Dam #2 and then turn
around to head back the way they came. In addition, over five hundred boats slip in three
8
----"-_"""-'---"-""'-----""""""..""... ,
'.', T
marinas in the Hastings area, and approximately two hundred more slip in three Prescott
area marinas. Overall, Pool 3 has a total of nineteen marinas, with thousands of boats
slipped among them, and hosts twenty-nine ramp launches that add untold additional
watercraft to the area.
If one adds up only recreational lockages, local launches, and a few recreational trips
each day that don't lock through, this totals a conservative estimate of approximately
19,500 boats that travel past Hastings in a summer. If only one-tenth of those boats
stopped once during the summer and spent $30, the revenue potential would be $58,500.
If each spent $50, revenue would total $97,500 spent at local business establishments.
This estimate does not include revenue that would come from over 700 boats that slip in
the area. The 1999 Recreational Boating Study counted 171,279 recreational watercraft,
with a total of 411,070 boaters, to have traveled on Pool 3 during the 1999 summer
season. If one tenth of the boats counted on Pool 3 during the summer of 1999 stopped
once and spent $50, the revenue would total $856,395. If one tenth of the people counted
on the pool spent $25 e~ch, revenue would total $1,027,675.
Anecdotal evidence suggests, however, that the income potential would be much, much
higher. One Hub's boater said on a day in mid-June, "I have spent at least $500 in
Prescott already this season. I'd gladly spend that in Hastings if I could park my boat
there." Many boaters from Hub's visit the Prescott Public Dock several times a season,
to enjoy a meal, watch a ball game at one of their bars, or shop in their stores. Those
with trailered boats stop at the end of an outing to have dinner because they have
difficulty parking a vehicle and trailer once they pull out of the water. They make an
outing of a boat ride and a stop in town.
If a public dock was installed, Hastings could become a destination for boaters, and the
revenue potential would grow exponentially. The historic elements of the downtown
district make Hastings a desirable destination for boaters. The interpretive center would
see more visitors because it will be viewed from the river and a dock will be provided to
9
or T
allow boaters to stop. The community as a whole will benefit from a thriving riverfront
business climate.
Local business owners have indicated a need to increase the foot traffic on Main Street to
increase sales made by their businesses. Some say the future of their business depends on
it. Most downtown business owners agree that tourist traffic is what sustains their
businesses, not local residents. The provision of a public dock is certain to increase
tourist traffic in Hastings during the summer months.
With the Grand Excursion coming up the Mississippi this summer, the time to install a
public dock is now. Excursion organizers estimate that around 500 recreational craft will
be following the paddlewheel flotilla at any point on the river. There are currently plans
for one or two paddlewheelers to moor at Hastings on July 3rd, and one can expect that
many of the pleasure craft surrounding these boats will also choose to stop in Hastings.
These boaters will be looking for places to stop to eat or shop for souvenirs, or take part
in local Grand Excursion festivities. Hastings River Town Days also draws additional
tourists to the area, and many would tie off at the dock to visit the carnival or go into
town for the celebration.
VIII.
.
Summary
This proposal does not represent a new idea; indeed, the idea of a public dock in Hastings
has been talked about for many years. What this proposal does do, however, is to go
beyond discussion and document the supportive statements of key players and present a
viable plan, with careful consideration of the relevant issues. The installation of a public
dock in Hastings is possible. It would make a connection with the Mississippi River that
Hastings has lacked for too many years. Thousands of boats currently float right past
Hastings in a summer season, only to spend their money in other places. The City of
Hastings should find a way to capture a portion of the revenue that is spent by
recreational boaters. Installation of a public dock would be a significant first step in
10
-or'
welcoming new visitors to the City of Hastings, and would provide a much-needed
financial boost to downtown businesses, and to the Hastings community as a whole.

Hastings Public Dock proposal
Permitti.!u: Process: The Anny Corp of Engineers requires the ~ssuance of permit 33
CFR 325 prior to any work being started along the Mississippi river. The completed
permit should include a map of the site, drawings or photos that would help clarify the
intended proj ect. Joseph Yanta is the engineer for the Hastings area. ( I have one filled
out and \vill bring it in as an exaJllple)
Copies of the permit will be sent to the following Agencies
0 DNR, Molly Shodeen
0 PCA,
0 State Historic Preservation Office (Minnesota Historical Society),
0 National Park Service (Mississippi National River and Recreation Area)
0 Coast Gaurd
0 Fish Wildlife Service (Twin Cities Field Office),
0 ACOE Navigation staff
0 Dennis Erickson,
0 Steve Tapp,
0 Joe Dvorak, Upper Area Lock Master
0 ACOE Environmental Resources Branch for a mussel bed review,
but this óne does not involve dredging.
0 erations and Maintenance: The dock will be constructed of Galvanized
Frames, Treated Wood, and Ace Rota-Mold Floats with 8- 10" pilings at a SOD-year flood
height. Treated Wood could be supplemented with a Maintenance Free Decking thus
eliminating any need for deck replacement. The construction of th~ dock would be
designed to have a "bull nose" style construction facing up river. This design allows for
debris or material to roll off the dock and continue down river. Although this dock is
built and designed to stay in place through the winter months, Hub's Landing and Marina
has offered to store the dock on their side of the river during the winter months. (At no
charge to the city)
Red Wing, Wabasha, Winona, Afton, Prescott are a few communities that currently have
city docks. City docks in Red Wing, Winona, and Wabasha are insured through the
League of Minnesota Cities. The dock in Afton is leased to the Afton House and the lesee
provides the insurance. After talking with the following communities whom have city
docks on the Mississippi river, the following information was provided.

Mayor Wemer and City Council Members
Bob Frame, Director, LeDuc Historic Site Project, DCHS
March 11, 2004
March update on LeDuc House Project
I'm happy to bring you another update on our progress at LeDuc, this time looking at our
planning process for the LeDuc landscape.
Unlike many historic houses with restricted lots, the LeDuc site is blessed with four acres of
original grounds. We can thank Carroll Simmons and the Minnesota Historical Society for
preserving the grounds intact. And, if"location-location-location" is the mantra of real estate
experts, we could hardly have planned a better location for the LeDuc house if we had tried.
Situated directly on a National Scenic Byway-the Great River Road-is as good as it gets.
U sing historical photographs and documents, the area immediately surrounding the house will be
restored to an earlier appearance, while keeping the entire site accessible and functional for
today's visitors, whether they're Hasting's citizens or heritage tourists traveling the Great River
Road.
Since the end of last year the City and the Dakota County Historical Society have been
developing a Landscape Master Plan for the LeDuc grounds. We have a consultant of the highest
quality advising us on the work: Landscape Research, Inc.
. ,
The principals of Landscape Research are Lance Neckar and Carole Zelle. Carole, as many of
you know, authored all five research reports on the LeDuc site history, as well as historic
preservation survey reports for the City.
Lance Neckar, ASLA, is a registered landscape architect and landscape historian with an MLA
from the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. He developed and taught the current
landscape history curriculum at the University of Minnesota's College of Architecture and
Landscape Architecture, where he is Associate Dean and Professor of Landscape Architecture.
At Landscape Research, Lance co-authored studies and restoration plans for Mayowood in
Rochester, Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis, the Alexander Ramsey House in St. Paul, and
the University of Minnesota Preservation Plan.
Beginning in late 2003, Lance and Carole have been meeting with City staff, including Dave
Osberg, John Grossman, Kevin Smith, Tom Montgomery, and Marty McNamara, as well as
representatives from the Dakota County Historical Society and the Minnesota Historical Society.
The meetings provided vital data on potential site uses, engineering, soil conditions, seasonal
"-'" """'-""......."..- -
r
--T T
maintenance, traffic flow, utilities, parking needs, forestry and horticulture-all in addition to
important historical research.
Using all of this information they've been creating a site master plan that will get the LeDuc
house ready for its grand opening in May 2005. Here are some of the items that are being
considered as we work toward a final plan presentation next month:
. A screened parking area at the east side of the property, with ADA access to the house
. Special ADA access to the house from 17th Street
. A restored historic driveway, originally designed for carriages, circling the house
. New site signage for wayfinding and historical interpretation
. Restoration of the historic front lawn plantings
. Reintroduction of historic dooryard gardens
. Planting of a small group of antique apple trees and an arbor
. Restoration of a historic fence along 17th Street
. Electrical service to the parking lot and other site areas, including a picnic area
. Water service for the apple trees and gardens
. A simple walking path, also suitable for winter sleighs, through the northwest-quadrant
wooded grove
. Design of a wheeled "kiosk" for souvenir sales, publications and maps
The Landscape Master Plan proposals, which are very feasible and cost-effective, should be in
place for visitors when the site officially opens. We're excited about it and looking forward to
putting this historic jewel of a house in its proper landscape setting that will both show it {)ff and
make it work for all of us.
Visit our website at www.1educ.house.museum for updates as the LeDuc project moves ahead.
