Unanimously passed. Next was a presentation by the Engineer of a proposal by the Sisters of Charity represented by Sister Tabitha for a $500, 000.00 Doctor's Clinic at Memorial Hospital. There was a motion made by Mr. Hallberg seconded by Mrs. Linde to recommend to the Council the approval of the construction of the Clinic and recommend that the City provide services as needed at no cost to the City. It was indicated that the Conzemius' would pay for that portion of Watermain running through their property and provide necessary easement. The hospital would pay for that portion providing a benefit to their property and provide necessary easements. The Engineer indicated that in the future the difference between the 8 and 10" size pipe could be charged back against the entire Northwest area using the water system at which time the hospital could be reimbursed for a portion of their cost. Next a sub-committee report from Mr. Wilson's committee in regard to the Robert Schommer request for Variance. (See copy of cornrnittee report attached). The discussion centered around the conditions under which the Variance could be granted. It was suggested that we might allow the Variance under Section 12.3. 1.Z. That the use would be in accordance with other properties in the same area. The Engineer stated that because there were Some vacant lots within the C-3 Zone the Planning Cornn~ission should give Some consideration to precedence in that if a home or a building permit were requested for a home on a vacant lot in the C-3 Zone, it may have some affect on the proposed C-3 use or intended use of the C-3 area. At this point, Mr. Robert Schornrner arose for point of order asked that his request be withdrawn and indignately left the meeting. Subsequent to this the motion was made by Mr. Wilson, seconded by Mr. and unanimously passed recommended approval of the building permit. Unless Mr. Schommer's request is withdrawn in writing before the next meeting the referral will be made to the full Council at the next regular Council Meeting of May 15. The next item was a presentation of the Dakota Hills Third Addition final plat by Mr. Ralph Wagner of Apache Engineering representing Hastings Construction Company. The plat had been turned over to Mr. Wilson's study committee. The preliminary plat had been approved previously by the Planning Commission for 45 lots. It has now been reduced to 44 lots. It was suggested that the new easement shown through the drainage course should show that it .is a pedestrian walkway and drainage course and would dedicated as a permanent easement for public access. There was some question about utilities, Northern States Power utility in the area which would be underground, however, the lots on the South side of 14th does have overhead service to the rear of those lots that PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES Monday, May 8, 1972 Page Z probably would be served overhead. The developer was asked Lf he intended to build sidewalks on 14th Street. His answer was that this would be up to the Planning Commission and the Council. He was not going to commit himself. He was asked when the trees would be going in on Westview Drive from 14th to 15th Street. It was indicated that the trees should be planted every 40 feet or one on each lot. Fie stated that he was not aware that trees had to be planted. Councilman Wilson asked that the approval be subject to review of his committee who had not had sufficient time to review the plat in detail and the original copy of the plat before corrections had not gone to sub-committee. The next item, the McNeal Mobile Home request was referred to Mrs. Linde's sub- committee. No action was taken on this item. The Meier re-zoning was tabled until the next regular Planning Commission Meeting. The Fluegel-Kugler plat, lots 1 through 3, was brought before the Planning Commission by the sub-committee. Mr. Trautmann made a motion seconded by Mr. Siebrecht to approve the plat of 3 lots adjacent to Southview Drive. There was then a motion to amend the approval by Mr. Hallbert, seconded by Mr. Soleimto provide a right-of-way through the property to the dike from Southview Drive could be used as a pedestrian way. A Z0 foot pedestrian way was suggested along the East line of lot 3. The amendment passed unanimously. The original motion then passed unanimously. Next under communications the Engineer informed the Planning Commission of a letter from Councilman O'Connor indicating a review of the density of Mobile Homes and also the fees to be established under the zoning ordinance and the 5% requirement for park dedication. The Engineer then read a letter from the State Highway Department indicating that the State wanted input into the tiighway 55, 61 by pass at Hastings.
