Commissioner Kramer indicated that his cornrnittee would investigate the matter further and report back at the next Pl~--~-g Commission meeting. The pL~,~,~,~g Director informed the Commission that this matter had been referred at the last Commission meeting to the Fischer Committee and after having a discussion with Mr. Fischer, il was suggested that the following procedure be used to handle the matter. Since gravity sewer is available in 6th Street and could easily be constructed in 7th & 8th Streets, as well as the fact that this area has been platted as single family lots and there are presently single family structures located in this area; a public hearing should be scheduled to consider the rezo,~-g of this property from I-2 to R-Z. The rema~t~/ng property which is between 10th Street and the railroad tracks extending from the spur line railroad to the Vermillion River should be investigated further by the Committee before deterrn{-{ng the feasibility of rezon~,~g the property from Lndustrial to a multiple family residential zone. ZONLNG AMENDMENT BLOCK 130, 134, & 135 TOWN OF HASTINGS Commissioner Kramer asked whether the individuals who have submitted a petition have paid a fee for having the proper~y rezoned, and the Pl~,~-~-g Director responded that they have not. The Planning Director indicated that ~here is justification to waive ~y fee X~ th~s s~tuatio~ Planning Commission Minutes -2- September 27, 1976 because it may be ia the City's interest to rezone an area broader in scope than was originally petitioned. That being the case this hould be a city nitiated project and no £ee charged. Moved by Commissioner Walker, seconded by Corrn-nissioner Stark to schedule a Public Hearing £or October 13, 1976, 4 Ayes - Kramer, Nay. Dr. Tervola has requested a variance from the side VARLA-NGE - DR. C,A. yard setback requirement for a parking lot. Dr. TERVOLA - 2Z1Z Tervolats building was constructed prior to the City's VERMILLION STREET present zoniag ordinance and an inadequate area was provided for off-street parking. As a result it is impossible to construct a parking lot on the property and maintain the required setback. The staff recornn%ended that a variance be granted for the construction of the parking lot subject to the petitioner providing more accurate information regarding the property line as well as indicating the type and quantity of shrubs which are to be planted. Moved by Commissioner Latch, seconded by Cornrnissioner Walker to approve the variance with the information requested by the Planning Director being supplied. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes - Krame r abstained. Moved by Commissioner Walker, seconded by Gommissioner RESCHEDULE NEXT Stark to reschedule the next Planning Commission meeting PLANNING COMMISS- for October 13, 1976 due to a legal holiday on the regular ION MEETING meeting night. 4 Ayes - Kramer, Nay. The preliminary plat submitted by the Franzmeier's FRANZMEIER PRELIM- meets all the zoning code requirements, however, the INARY PLAT ZZND & PINE proposal failed to meet three standards listed in the subdivision ordinance. The proposed plat indicated that a cul-de-sac will be 570' in length as opposed to the required 5001; the width of the right-of-way which is an extension of an existing right-of-way will be 60' as opposed to 66' wide; and surface drainage will be 750' in length as opposed to the required maximum of 500'. Other concerns arise due to the uncertain nature of the development to the west of the l~ranzmeier property. Because development plans have not been submitted for the property to the west, the Franzmeier's would have to obtain easement for utilities which extends into Country Club Addition. Other issues involve drainage which goes from the Franzmeier property westerly, and we must assure that there will not be any hardship on the proposed development. Finally a temporary cul-de-sac should be provided along the west end of the proposed Southview Drive in case the development is not forthcoming to the west. Moved by Commissioner Latch, seconded by Com.~mi,[ssioner Peterson to schedule a public hearing for the~,' l_S, 1976 meeting. 6 Ayes - 0 Nayes. Cornrnis~oner Stoffel referred the matter to the Stark Committee for further investigation.
