The first item on the agenda was approval of the minutes of June 26, 1972. It was moved by Mr. Soleim, seconded by Mr. Wilson to accept the minutes as written. Those present: Mr. Siebrecht, Mr. Soleim, Mr. Tanner, Mr. Hallberg, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Petersen Also present: Mr. Darrel Berkowitz and Mr. John Davidson. Aletter was received from Mr. Richard C. Jensen, 1915 Ashland Street, who is a mechanical engineer appeared at the meel~ing. His letter requested appointment to the Planning Commission to replace the unexpired term of Mr. Frank Sieckert who has recently resigned. It was moved and seconded to recommend to the City Council the appointment of Mr. Jensen to the unexpired term of Mr. Sieckert at the next regular Council Meeting. Mr. Petersen reviewed the minutes of the Nininger Planning Commission meeting of July 10, 1972. There was a review of the plat submitted by Neal Siewert for the area south of 15th Street and west of Pleasant Drive. Copy of the plat was furnished the subcommittee of the Planning Commission consisting of Mr. Wilson, Mr. Tanner, Mr. Soleim, and Junior Member Gartzke to review the plat, make recommendations back at the next regular Planning Commission Meeting. The City Council at the last regular meeting charged the Planning Commission to review the sidewalk section of the Subdivision Regulations Ordinance. Mr. Wilson volunteered his subcommittee to also review this Ordinance. The Natural Resources Commission asked that trees in construction areas which can be preserved and relocated would be relocated. The engineer stated that the County now had a tree moving machine which may be available to the City of Hastings on a use basis. The vacation of the alley for Mr. Murray Laub was tabled until the next regular meeting. The request for Variance by Mr. Olson (Clifford) was also tabled until the next regular meeting. Minutes of Hastings Planning Commission Meeting held Monday, July 24, 1972 Page Z. Mr. Pat Wilson gave a brief review of the ad hoc area-wide planning commission meeting. He stated the next regular meeting would be held in September and Mr. Gunnar Isberg would be the guest speaker for that meeting. At 8:00 P.M. the informal hearing for the Capital Improvements Program for the Gityof Hastings was called to order. Mr. Walt Petersen gave a brief intro- duction into the program. The meeting was then turned over to Mr. Davidson who chaired the balance of the meeting. He reviewed in general the total improvements program and turned the meeting over to Mr. Darrel Berkowitz for a detailed analysis of the total GapitalImprove- ments Program. Following the total formal presentation, the meeting was opened to discussion from the floor. Following are comments made from the floor by interested citizens who were present for the hearing. Mr. Ferd Ruhr, 538 W. 7th Street stated he has had problems with storm drain- age through his back yard, agreed with the Mississippi Valley Star story dealing with storm sewer systems. He indicated that on several occasions the water has gotten to heights that would be considered dangerous as far as close proximity to his private home. He wanted to increase the priority of the storm sewer studies in the area west of T.H. 61 from the proposed date of 1974. Mr. Ernie Payette, 53Z W. 7th Street stated that sand filtered through the storm sewer system and deposited in his back yard to a point where he could notmow the grass through the drainage course that runs through their area. Mr. Dennis Pellant representing the Chamber of Commerce stated that he had been involved in studies of this kind in other communities and they do have a file in their office dealing with Capital Improvements from other cities within the country and could be available to the Planning Commission in their reviews. He questioned the population projection of Z1,000 in the year 2,000 when dealing with the water systems. He said we are presently growing at the rate of 3% per year and stated he thought the estimated figures were conservative. Mr. Bert Goderstad also stated to the effect that we did not cover street lighting in the City and thought that should be given priority. Also questioned the usability of Rebecca Park and other government facilities to be used by the City of Hastings in their total Capital Improvement Program. It was pointed out that we, nor the Planning Commission, dur.lng this review of Capital Improvements considered anything except obligations of the local unit of government, that it was quite apparent that the other governmental agency facilities, such as the State Hospital, County Court House, Armory buildings, were tn fact usable in some capacity, but that their uses be determined at the time there is a change in their status. 'Minutes of Hastings Planning Commission Meeting held Monday, July 24, 1972 Page 3. We then reviewed the 5 Year projected program as presented to the Plarming Commission. The only changes was under Community Facilities make Items 1 and Z. 1972 needs, Item 3 would then become 1973. Under storm sewer, con- sider Items 1 and g as one posskble project. Also add a category for street lighting. Contact Northern States Power Company in regard to this. It was moved by Mr. Hallberg, seconded by Mr. Wilson to accept the priority list as presented. The meeting was completed at approximately 11:00 P.M. John Davidson, City Engineer PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE CITY OF HASTINGS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ~y FACILITIES Public Safety Building. Proposed combination police headquarters and fire station at the existing fire station site. The advantages of a combined site are centralized dispatching facilities combined with the convenience to the citizens of Hastings. The addition to the existing fire station would be provided for the police headquarters. Presently the police headquarters consist of approximately 900 sq. ft. 'The ultimate area required for an adequate police headquarters facility is 5,600 sq.ft. To acquire this area would include three phases. Phase I construction would be to construct approximately a 3,500 sq. ft. building between the existing street garage and fire station facing 5th Street. Phase II would be to remodel the interior of the existing street garage. If needed in the future, Phase III would be to expand to the south or west of the proposed 3,500 sq.ft, building. The construction under Phase I would eliminate the old sheet metal shed in back of the fire station, which is presently used for storage by the street department. This would also allow for fourteen additional parking stalls behind the public safety building. Public Work Maintenance Building. Proposed site for the new public works maintenance building would be on the south side of Progress Drive near East 10th Street. The reason for constructing a new building would be to bring the various public works departments into one buildlng. Presently the various departments are scattered throughout the city. The following is ~ list of the existing department building locations and available square footage. Street Department Buildings are located on 5th Street between Vermillion and Eddy Streets with a total area of 4,400 sq. ft. Park Department Building is located on the levee road below the T.H.61 High Bridge with a total of 1,400 sq. ft. The water and sewer department' buildings are located at 5th and Eddy Streets and 6th and State Streets with a total area of 1,386 sq. ft. The Public Works Maintenance Building would provide approximately 18,000 sq. ft. for the Street, Parks, Water and Sewer Departments, and service stalls for maintaining equipment. The complete building, could be done in three phases. 1. 5784 Phase I would provide for approximately a 5,000 sq. ft. metal building with four drive through stalls which would be used by the Streets Department. Phases II and III would be expansion to the 5,000 sq. ft. metal building. The expansion will provide additional area [or the Streets Department, an area for equipment and vehicle service stalls, area for the Parks Department and Water and Sewer Department. The Water and Sewer Department will continue to maintain the buildings at 5th and Eddy Streets and 6th and State Streets for storage of fittings, tools, etc., and chemicals used for treatment in the water system. Remodeling City Hall. If relocation of the police headquarters can be accomplished, 900 sq. ft. of additional area could be provided in the city hall for the expansion of the Administration and Engineering offices. The total area for these offices would then be approximately Z, 900 sq. ft. Library Expansion. The expansion is essential, because the demanding use of the existing facilities has already caused a shortage of area to adequately serve the existing population of Hastings. The suggested library expansion will involve the elimination of the pump house adjacent to the library as a standby source of water supply. With the elimination of the pump house, the expansion area will consist of Z, 025 sq. ft. of first floor space and 1,230 sq.ft, of basement. The basement would provide an area for storage and exhibit of articles and materials essential to the history of the City of Hastings. Youth Activities Center The input for this proposal was turned over to the high school members on the Planning Commission. The high school members indicated from a polling of students on the high school level that there was a definite need for some type of youth activity center. The type of youth activity center has not been determined at this time. It is suggested that special interest groups and the general public should determine the facility needed for the youth in the City of Hastings. The facility could be a YMCA, Community Center or aCommunity Schools Program. Facility for Collection and Disposal of Solid Waste Material At this time a tentative extension has been approved by the PCA and Dakota County for the continued use of the existing landfill site in the City of Hastings. Withina timetable to be designated by the PCA, a workable plan must be provided for solid waste collection and disposal. 5784 A general statement in regard to cornrnunit¥ facilities is as follows: Although we are aware that a potential change of use in existing Federal, State and County buildings located in the City of Hastings could occur, we have not considered these buildings for use in the city community facilities program. Some of the buildings with potential change of use are as follows: Armory, Post Office, Lock and Dam, Count, y Couv,%house, County Annex and Stat'e Hospital. SEWERS Storm Sewer Studies Phase I. Joint study with the Minnesota Highway Department of T.H.61 and the area east of T.H.61 in storm sewer districts No. 3 and4which are not presently served by storm sewers. Phase II. Study of the area west of T.H.61 in storm sewer district No. 4. When these studies are completed, priorities can be established for construction of storm sewers. The construction of storm sewers in these areas will also help establish a program for roadway reconstruction and sidewalk reconstruction or new construction. A study should be made to determine when pumping stations will be necessary to maintain water levels in the existing ponding basins located in Storm Sewer Districts No. I and No. 2. Following the studies a five year program could be formulated. SANITARY SEWERS Comprehensive Report on the Sanitary Sewerage System With ultimate development within the corporate limits, the existing trunk and interceptor sewers will adequately serve the City of Hastings. There is sonde reserve capacity in the existing trunk and interceptor sewers; therefore, some of the extension areas outside of the corporate limits could be served without overloading the existing system. Ultimate development within all of the extension areas would cauee an overload to the existing sanitary sewer system. 5784 xlstin~ Trunk and Interceptor Sewer System Within the next five years, there will be no improvements required for the existing trunk and interceptor sewer system. Improvements in the next ten to twenty years may be required in two areas. 1. 15" sewer on Lyrm Way, from Bahls Drive to 15th St. This improvement depends on the ultimate development within Service Area No. I and the development in the extel~sion area to Service Area No. 1 The 16" sewer that crosses the Vermillion,River near T.H.61. This improvement depends on the ultimate development within Service Areas Nos. 6-8 and the development in the extension areas to Service Areas Nos. 6 and 8. Exlstin~ Lateral Sewer System '~ 1. Replacement of the existing pumping station at 4th St. and Spring St. fZ. Replacement of existing 6" sewer lines with 8" sewer lines on 6th Street from Forrest Street to Pine Street and on Pine Street from 6th Street to Znd Street. 3. Televising and cleaning of existing sewers to determine their existing condition. This must be done before any consideration is given to reconstruction of roadways with sewer lines in place. Construction of sewers into areas of existing or potential development. ATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM Background of Existin~ Water Distribution System., Water Distribution System Improvement studies were in made in 1959 and against in 1967. The studies and improvements mentioned hereinafter were done to meet the Fire Underwriters Inspection Bureau recommendations for fire protection. In 1959 the existing water distribution system (low pressure system) consisted of a gridded arrangement of 6" and 8" cast iron pipe. A 750,000 gallon storage tank with a 1Z" connection line rode on the system, maintaining the necessary pressure and providing adequate storage. There were at that time no major feed mains to distribute the required water 5784 flows at time of heavy demands, thereby causing extremely Joy,' pressure, south of 10th St. and · l especgal y for fire demands. The existing system east of Pine St. was the most critical. Conclusions from the 1959 report were to replace small mains with major mains in areas that would efficiently increase the capacity of the existing system. The most immediate problem was the area south of 10th St. This problem was solved by constructing a 12" strengthening main along Pine St. from T.H. 55 to CSAH 47. As development occurred west of Pine St. and south T.H, 55, it was felt a new system independent of the existing low pressure system would have to be built. A well, pumphouse and an elevated storage tank in the Country Estate area was constructed. This established a high pressure system in the city located west of Pine St. and south of T.~H. 55. In 1967 a water distribution study was done to investigate the fire demand flows required at Hudson Manufacturing Co., at Peary Mill South Hastings Industrial Park, at Smead Manu£acturing Co., and at the Industrial Park located east of the Smead property. Construction thereafter included the placement of strengthening mains as recommended, connecting feeder mains from the high pressure system into the low pressure system at the intersection of 15th St. and Pine St. and 21st St. and Pine St. and placing pressure reducing valves at these locations, such that the low pressure system could be reinforced from the high pressure system when high demands were required. As the result of continued development west of Pine St. and the expected future development north of T. H. 55, it was £elt that a well and pumphouse should be constructed at the T.H. 55 ~ tank site to reinforce the existing high pressure area and establish a high pressure area north of T.H. 55. The construction was done and at thattime we established a high pressure system in the western part of the city between CSAH 42. on the north and the Vermillion River on the south. Present Construction Presently, construction is being done on a well and purnphouse and ~ construction of an elevated storage tank in the Industrial Park area south of the Vermillion River. When this is accomplished, we have then provided a high pressure system south of the Vermillion River. We will also be able to provide a strengthening to the low pressure system from the new high pressure system by means of opening a gate valve near the junction of T.H. 316 and T.H.61. 5784 Existing Facilities 1. Low Pressure Area (h) Wells State Street - 700 gpm. V~ilson Street - 500 gpm. Vermillion Street (standby) - 600 gpm - to be eliminated because the cost of upgrading the well is not feasible from a cost standpoint, and the proposed library expansion will replace it. Storage Tanks T.H.55 Tank - 750,000 gallons. 2. High Pressure Area (western part of the city) (a) (b) Wells T.H.55 Storage Tank Site - 1,200 gpm. Country Estates - 600 gpm. Storage Tanks Country Estate - 150,000 gallons. 3. High Pressure Area (Industrial Park south of Vermillion River) (a) Wells Industrial Park - 1, ZOO gpm. (b) Storage Tank Industrial Park - 300,000 gallons (a~s~,,,;,.j Conclusions and Recommendations Through the year 2000 with a population projection of 21,000: The existing separation of high pressure areas is adequate at this time. It is our conclusion that in the next 10-25 years, the interconnection of the two existing high pressure.areas and an additional elevated storage tank (50,000 gallon capacity) in the northwest area of the city will be required. Connecting the two high pressure areas would create a more efficient system than the existing separation of the high pressure areas. The reasons for this are that we eliminate the duplication of fire protection for two independent areas, and we relieve the low pressure area by absorbing some of its area into the combined high pressure system, 6. 5784 SIDEWALKS Condition of existing sidewalks is shown on Drawing No. 1. Most of the existing sidewalks are in poor condition. Proposed new construction and reconstruction of existing sidewalks are shown on Drawing No. Z. Recommended Sidewalk Construction and Reconstruction Construction of sidewalks on the main routes to the schools. Construction of sidewalks along streets that would be reconstructed under the street irnprovemer~t program. Construction of sidewalks where street improvements will not be required. Construction could be coordinated with other sidewalk projects in the immediate area. ROADS AND BRIDGES MUNICIPAL STATE AID ROADS New Construction Pleasant Drive from CSAH 42 (north) to CSAH 47 (south). It is desirable to finish construction from T.H. 55 (north) to CSAH 47 (south) in the next five years. Included in this would be construction o£ a bridge over the Vermillion River. Construction from T. II. 55 ~south~to CSA/-I 4Z (north) could proceed as development occurs in the northwestern area of the city. When completed, Pleasant Drive will provide a good arterial road in a north-south direction. Reconstruction Tenth Street (MSAS 133) from Vermillion Street (west) to the Vermillion River (east). Pine Street from 2nd Street (north) to T.H.55 (south). Rarnsey and Tyler Streets from 10th Street (north) to Eighteenth Street (south). Ramsey and Tyler Streets from Znd Street (north) to 10th Street (south). CITY STREETS New Construction Construction o£ city streets will proceed as future development cont{nues. Construction of a new street between Ramsey and Tyler at approximately 12th Street or 13th Street. At this time, construction of improved and unimproved g~avel city streets will be done, as property owners request it. Completion of Ind~istrial Park streets will be done as industry moves in. Reconstruction Reconstruction of existing unimproved bituminous streets should be considered. STATE HIGHWAYS Reconstruction Reconstruction of the T.H. 316 and T.H.61 intersection at the south end of the city. This would depend on whether or not the Minnesota Highway Department could establish a program for the construction. Special Considerations: A thorough traffic study should be made on the existing street patterns; consideration of eliminating intersections by means of abandoning some North-South streets (returning them to a grass area) and eliminating some east-west street access to T.H.61. Reconstruction of existing roadways will not begin until the storm sewer, sanitary sewer and traffic studies are completed. This policy may not hold true if immediate problems must be corrected prior to the completion of the studies. 8. 5784 PARKS Park land standards comxnonly in use today call for 14 acres of park land for each 1,000 population in a city the size of Hastings. This means that Hastings should now contain 168 acres of park/recreation area for its 1Z,000 residents as compared to the 72 acr~s of developed, usable park land now provided. Presently, the city is short approximately 96 acres of park land. Of the 96 acres, t,hey should be developed into Z4 acres for neighborhood parks and 7~, acres for community parks. For a population projection of Z0,000, the city of Hastings should have a total of ZS0 acres for park land. Of the ZS0 acres the~ should be developed into 93 acres for neighborhood parks and 187 acres for community parks. An open space area program should be established. These areas would be purchased by either Federal, State or County funds with approval by the Metro Council. Projects under consideration are as follows: 1. Upgrade existing parks and playgrounds. Acquisition of 40 acres of land for flood control along the Vermillion River. Acquisition of 55 acres of land and its development for the Vermillion River Park. Acquisition of 10 acres of land for a park in the northwest part of the city. 5. Acquisition of land around Lake Isabell as it becomes available. 5784 ' ~ Pg. I of 3 July 17; 1972 In view of the vandalism at Ol,~ i~ill park, the Natural Re- sources Commission has recommended that ~oads into the park be blocked. Me recommend that a post and link chain fence be set on the north side and a parking lot be provided. ¥~e feel that if people are {orced to walk into the park that vandalt~ will:be reduced. Campers would have b3 request pe~nission to bring their vehicles into the park. permanent picnic tables (concrete o~ bolted down to concrete pads) should be p~ovided. Cost of fence and parking lot - $3,000,00 Dakota Hills Park is ~oefull¥ inadequate in a neighborhood with many young''peopfe and small children. ~he enclosed ventory indicates the additional equipment recommended far Dakota Hills at a cost of $1~300.00 and recommends that part of the equipment be installed in 1973. Conzemius Park - If the Planning Commission reco~endation of June 28, 19~ ~garding the extension of Conzemius Park as part of the Dakota Hills 3rd Addition is completed, this park has p~obably the most potential for intensive use than any of the other parks. The NEC endorses your recommendations and suggests that Conzemius park be developed as rapidly as possible. We recommend that some of the equipment shown on the inventory be purchased in 1973 at a cost of - 1 ~000,'00 Total Budget for i973 $5,000.00 Conzemius park - permanent toilet facilites Dakota Hills - Fence Ball Field or relocate backstop Peavey park - Roadside Park presents a good image for the City ~app:oaching from the west. Peavey park could be developed to present a favorable image from the southezn approach. In' addition~ this park should be developed as a neighborhood park for the area east of Vermillion Street from 14th Street south to the mill. Very little equi,wnent ts available at the present lime.

Total $23~750.00 Ju y 972 Mr. Walt Petersen Chairman Hastings, Planning Con~ission REt Natural Resources Commission budget dated 4-20-72 Dear Mai t: Your letter of June 14, 1972 requested information in regard to an item "Upgrading existing parks and playgrounds". Enclosed is an inventory of all of the equipment and the proposed addit- ional equipment and facilities for the various pa:ks in the ct ry. Pioneer Park has been used as a guide for the development of the other parks. A variety of playground equipment ts available tO hold the interest of young children. There is a shaded area with picnic tables where adults can sit while watching the children. There is a drinking fountain. There is open play areas with the necessary equipment for team activities (softbali~ hockey~ basket- ball courts etc.). There are toilet facilities available when city supervisory personnel are at the park. All of these elements make this a good park as indicated by the intensive use. Other parks where these facilities are not available are used very little. Prices shown in the inventory were generally taken from a report made to the Parks and Recreation Committee by John Davidson in 1969. With inflation the amount of equipment procured in any one year may have to be reduced and some major items (picnic she- lters off-street parking ere,) would have to be delayed.
