The minutes of January ZZ, 1973 were reviewed and a motion was made by Councilman Soleim and seconded Mr. Trautmann to approve the minutes. unanimously pas sed. This Next was a report by Mrs. Linde's committee on the Joe Niedere request for special use permit to allow for a basement apartment at 543 McNamara Avenue. They stated the minimum standards for health and safety and all building codes would be complied with. The owner was going to do the building construction himself under permit. It was recommended by the committee by motion of Mrs. Linde seconded by 5r', ~'~t4~'~ that the City Council set a date for hearing and that the special use be allowed. (Make a note that this should go to $oanne for the Agenda for February Z0. Next item was the review of Dakota Hills 4th Addition. Mr. Soleims committee made the review. It was suggested that the row of lots along 13th Street, being lots 1 through 6, Block 5 of the preliminary plat and lot 7 through 9, Block 7 of the preliminary plat and lots 19 through Z5 and lots 1 and Z of Block 8 of the preliminary plat be re-zoned to R3 three-plex. The original committee recommendation was that these lots be sized for duplex construction. However, the owner, Mr. Don Gustafson, had suggested that three-plexes would give a more aethestic and desireable screen to the R1 residential to the South since the configuration of the building could be varied with split level designs to approximate a single family dwelling concept. There was then a motion by Mr. Tanner to adopt a preliminary plat calling for d'?-plex's along the South line of 13th and the East line of Westview Drive. This motion died for a lack of a second. There was then a motion by Councilman Soleim and seconded by Mr. Trautmann to adopt a preliminary plat calling for three plex construction along the South line of 13th and the East line of Westview Drive over the previously mentioned lots. That the area be rezoned to R3 three- plex specifically. This was to be checked with the City Attorney for legality. Motion passed unanimously. (Make a note on the Agenda for the February Z0 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of Dakota Hills 4th Addition preliminary plan with that provision that the lots facing the shopping center be rezoned R3 three plex. I advised the old Council that we would be bringing this up at the next regular meeting. (This to should be placed on the Agenda). Minutes of Planning Commission Meeting Held on Monday, February 12, 1973 Page The next review was Valley Manor Addition. Mr. Trautmann's corrnaxittee recommended that the zoning ordinance be changed and the R3 density requirements to change the 3, 100 square feet to 2,500 and the R4 density from 2,500 to 2,000 per unit. Motion was seconded by Mr. Soleirn. After some discussion relative to changing the ordinance the motion failed by vote of one yes and four no. Mr. Trautmann then went on to report that the initial density allowed on June 8, 1970 called for allowing 360 units of 21. 79 acres. The contractor was now asking for 387 units on these same areas. There was then a motion by Mr. Trautmann seconded by Mr. Kramer that Phase II developt~ent be approved with a stipulation that Bahls Drive would be hard surfaced and the petition would be secured by October 1, 1975 for work in 1976. Half of the cost to be assessed to either side of Bahls Drive and also to comply with Section 7. 6 of the zoning ordinance. In the discussion it was indicated the present zoning ordinance requirements would allow no more than 340 units on the 21. 79 acres. However, since the original agreement was made prior to the enactment of the present zoning ordinance it was thought that the 350 units then should be allowed. It was then stated by Mr. Trautmalm that he would like to accept Section 7.6. 1. 1 designating the density requirements from his motion. At that point Mr. Kramer withdrew the second to that motion. There was then a motion by Mr. Trautmann to approve Phase II with stipulation to hard surface Bahls Drive and exempt the sections of 7.6 of the zoning ordinance from the stipulations. This motion failed for a lack of a second. There was then a motion by Mr. B2ramer to return the plat to the developer to consider the original 360 unit design. This was seconded by Mrs. Linde. After discussion it was suggested that Mr. Gustafson would have to reapply at his con- venience for the 360 units on the Z1. 79 acres. Mr. Gustafson stated there was $400. 00 tax income for each apartment unit to the City of Hastings. Mr. Kramer said that he was against ordinance change for individual needs. That unless the ordinance is unworkable he would be against any ordinance change as far as density is concerned. He is also opposed to change in the zoning to an R4 for the same reason as the R3 consideration had been given to this area by the Planning Commission previously. He would like to stick with the R3 density. He stated that tax income from this area was a secondary consideration as far as the Planning Commission was concerned. We were concerned with the Planning aspects of the project and it was thought that the density of 14 per acre was adequate density at this time, irregardless of any amenities and recreation facilities added to the original design. The original 360 units were approved in a preliminary form a change now would be a special interest accommodation. No doubt that a 360 unit apartment complex would again be approved. That if the complex were redesigned to accommodate 360 units there was no question that the Planning Commission would recommend approval. There was than a motion to table to the March 12 meeting 1973 by Mr. Trautmann seconded by Mr. Tanner. The motion to table passed by a vote of 4-2. Then going through the agenda the Tom Smith request for variance being studied by Mr. Trautmann's committee for parts of lots 1,2 and the E~st 24 feet of lot 3, Block 13, Allisons Addition was deferred for future study since Mr. Trautmann was unable to contact Mr. Tom Smith. Minutes of Planning Commission Meeting Held on Monday, February 1Z, 1973 Page 3 The Jim Hoffi~an review by Mr. Trautmann~s committee. It was suggested that this be deferred for further contact with Mr. Hoffman and suggestion that he move to the old Industrial Park adjacent to the City of Hastings garage site. The ordinance study committee under the direction of Mrs. Lu Stoffel was deferred since Mrs. Stoffel was not present at this meeting. She had an excused absence. Highland Hills 4th Addition review with recommendations by the City Engineer that 18th Street Court by named 18th Court. There was a motion by Mr. Tanner seconded by Mr. Soleim that the Highland Hills final approval be recommended to the City Council subject to an agreement from St. Philips Lutheran Ghurchto provide necessary utility easements and an agreement with the contractor to provide lot line distances to provide for utitity sanitary sewer and storm sewer easements between lots and that the naming of 18th Court be approved by the developer. This also should be placed on the Agenda for the February 20 meeting. Next the Engineer reviewed the St. John's church proposal for rear yard setback and side yard setback variances. A 7 foot side yard in lieu of a 1Z foot side yard and a 6' 10" rear yard in lieu of a 15' rear yard requirement under the zoning ordinance. This was referred to Mr. Soleims study committee for a report back at the next meeting. Copies of the letter and the plan were provided Mr. So le im. At the request of the City Engineer a motion was made by Mr. Kramer seconded by Mrs. Linde and unanimously passed authorizing the chairman of the Planning Commission and the secretary of the Planning Commission to sign registered land surveys within the Industrial Park as they come up for signature periodically. (Make a note that this same motion will have to be passed at the regular Council meeting of February Next there was a letter from Ninda Publishing for a wood industries seminar at the Sheraton Inn. Memo was dated January 30, 1973. Copies of the memo were mailed to Mr. Jensen, Mr. Steve Gartzke and Mr. Steve Sindt who were not present at the Planning Commission meeting. It was also noted that the Wheeler Bicycle Shop hearing would be held on March 5 at 8:00 PM for anyone interested in attending that hearing before the City Council. Had a request from Mrs. Linde that a copy of the ordinance establishing the Planning Commission be furnished to her. Get a copy of this to her, Wally Erickson has a copy. Completed our meeting at approximately 10:00 PM. The Engineer reported on the Environmental Impact Statement Seminar that he had attended February 6, 1973, copies of this are on file in the engineers office for anyone interested .

Monday, Feb. 19th. 100 SIBLEY STREET, HASTINGS, MINNESOTA 55033 Phone 437-6921 OFFICE OF CITY ENGINEER TO: Mr. Patrick Wilson, Sub Committee Chairman, Hastings Planning Commission. RE: Plat review, Dakota Hills 4th Addition Gentlemen: I have done a brief plat review of the proposed plat of Dakota Hills 4th Addition which is a replat of portions of Dakota Hills Znd Addition and Bauers Znd Addition. The review was in accordance with the land sub-division ordinance dated December 16, 1968 and the City zoning ordinance dated December 7, 1970 and the proposed sidewalk ordinance which had its first reading on December 4, 1972. Item 1. Lot size. Lot size to be in accordance with Hastings Zoning Ordinance in R1 zones require 9,000 square feet minimum, 75 foot minimum width at setback line minimum 25 feet from street right- of-way line. Corner lots to be platted at least 10% wider than minimum lot width, therefore, corner lot minimum width at 25 foot setback line should be 8Z. 5 feet in width minimum. In reviewing the plat I find that Block 1 along the North tier of lots would require revamping of lot lines to provide the minimum corner lot width at Pleasant Drive and 13th Street. Lot 15 at the South line of Block 1 would likewise require a g 1/Z foot greater width than that shown on the pre- liminary plat. Block g would require 8Z 1/g feet to provide a 76 foot width to Lot Z the utility easement between lots Z and 3 would be required to line up with the~utility easements in the Sontag's gnd addition adjacent thereto. The 75 foot width at the setback line would r~quire a revision of lot lines over lots 3, 4 and 5,6 and possibly 7. Block appear to meet all requirements and Block 4 appears to meet all requirements for lot width at setback lines. Block 5 would require a revision around the cul-de-sac to allow the 82 foot width lots over lots 17, 18 and Z4. Care should be taken that the lots adjacent to the cul-de-sac have a 9, 000 square foot minimum therefore the radial lines have been adjusted as Si~own in red. The entire tier of lots facing Honeysuckle Lane on the Easterly tier of lots on Blockf5 would have to be revised to 75 foot minimum interior widths and 8Z 1/g c~tner widths therefore I am suggesting that Lots 6 and 7 be turned around to face 13th Street to provide adequate widths without losing the number of lots within Block 5. Block 6 appears to meet all the criteria except lot 9 which would require a change from the 70 foot frontage to an 8Z 1/g foot width at the setback line. To: Mr. Patrick V~rilson Re: Plat Review of Dakota Hills 4th Addition Page Z. ]~lock 7 ~vould appear ~to require a total adjust~ent of lots losing one lot in the process to allow the 82-1/Z foot corner width and 75 foot interior width of lots. I am suggesting that the tier of lots along the north line of Block 7 be platted in a North-South direction to give greater width of lots facing the Shopping Center property to the north. A 90 foot minimum width is required for a duplex. This may be a possible use of these lots as a buffer between the Shopping Center and the R-1 Family Residential to the south, in which case if other than a single family unit is allowed, the minimum width at the setback line would be 90 feet. As such, there is not enough width between Honeysuckle Lane and Westview Drive along iBth Street to allow for more than three lots and still meet the width requirements. Utility easements are required 10 feet in width centered on rear lot lines where necessary. In lleu of the fact that Northern States Power Co. and Pioneer-United Telephone Co. prefer 10 foot easements along the street right-of-ways for under- ground electric and underground telephone service, I am suggesting that the utility easen~ents between lots and Block 7 be eliminated, that easements be pro- vided adjacent to all streets within a subdivision 10 feet from the right-of-way into the lot. One problem that may result as a condition of these new locations for utility easements, is a fact that we require trees in subdivisions to be planted 5 to 7 feet back of the right-of-way line each 40 feet along each street. This may interfere or conflict with the proposed location by the utilities com- panies for underground service 5 feet off of street right-of-ways onto private property on these utility easements. This is one area that probably should be resolved and standardized in all subdivisions. The cul-de-sacs as designed and approved in the preliminary plans meet the requirements of the regulations. It is suggested that the easterly end of 13th Street on the church property be provided with a temporary cul-de-sac for maintenance purposes on church property as a condition to leaving them this outC~t and that a similar situation exists on school property at the west term- inus of 13th Street. That the school allow construction on school property without the possibility of closing off 13th Street as a connector, the temporary construction of a cul-de-sac on their property. Construction of cul-de-sacs on private properties would be born by the developer as a temporary expedient tO maintenance services. (Similar to Country Club Znd Addition. ) In regard to road%vay systems, Pleasant Drive is a main arterial and as such requires an 80 foot right-of-way as shown, a 44 foot width State-Aid street will be constructed therein. 14th Street .is considered a collector street as a companion to 15th Street, with possible future one-way designations. As such would require a 36 foot street within a 66 foot right-of-way. V~estview Drive also is considered a collector and is a 40 foot width street on a 66 foot right-of-way. All other streets would be considered local streets, 36 foot width within a 60 foot right-of-way. Sidewalks would be constructed along Pleasant Drive, Westview Drive and 14th Streets. In accordance with the new Sidewalk Ordinance, the entire grading would be completed between the right-of-way lines. There appears to be no particular To: lVir. Pat Wi[son Re: Review of Dakota Hills 4th Addition Plat Page 3. hardship in regard to topographic features that would prevent the entire street right-of-way from being graded to provide a flat section suitable for future sidewalks [f required in the future. The pedestrian way between lots 5 and 6 .in Block g is a continuation of the sidewalk easement or right-of-way as platted in Bauer's Znd Addition, Lot 1. These comments are provided for consideration in your review. I would be happy to meet with the subcommittee to discuss any further questions which nxay arise in the review. Copy of this memorandum is being furnished Hastings Construction Company and Mr. Delmar H.Schw~mT~, the land surveyor who did the basic layout of lots within the development.
