The next item on the agenda was the presentation by Mr. Charles Kelly and Ellsworth Morrison representing Schumacher Realty and Gasparri Dokmo to rezone out lot E of Imperial Estates. The request was to allow 238 Town House Units to be constructed on approximately 26.7 acres for a unit density of 8.92. It would consist of 7. and 3 bedroom units with a garage for each unit. There would be a 14 by 14 court with a split level unit. There would be 114 units in Phase I and 1Z4 units in Phase II. There would be a central recreation swimming pool area, there would be a platted 60 foot right of way street through the addition which would be dedicated to the city. There would be 25 paved accesses to that street for off street parking facilities. The units would be in the $25,000 to $30,000 bracket and they would be building approximately 50 per calender year. This was referred to the study committee of Mr. Trautman, Mr. Petersen and Mr. Siebrecht and Mr. Willeke. Next item was the discussion of the the Fluegel-Kugler old bridge plat in regard to the 5% park allocation. {See copy of Mr. Fluegel's letter attached) We provided the Planning Commission with a form letter to be used for 5% park allocation to be sent to the City Assessor in those cases where park land is not dedicated as a park part of the plat but is paid for in lieu of park land. The general discussion was on items two and three of the letter asking the County Assessor to assess after platting but before utilities have been constructed. This was tabled to the next meeting in order for the City Engineer and the Planning Commission to determine the difference between items two and three and to allow for the 5% payment of the value of the land prior to insulation of utilities but after platting has occurred and the lots have been e stablished. The next item of discussion was the Town House Development proposal by Hastings Construction Company. Those present representing Hastings Construction Company were Mr. Ralph Wagner from Apache Engineering who made the presentation and Mr. Don Gustafson. They are asking for vacation of 13th Street as it was platted in the preliminary plat, they also provided two types of Town House plan. One 24 by 36 plan A and one Z0 by 3Z plan B. The plan A unit could be completed in the down- stairs area by the owner, the plan B would be a completely constructed unit. There would be one interior street within the development area which lies generally to the Southeast of Westview Drive North of 14th Street and South on Highway 55. Part of the area has been rezoned for Town House development by Mr. Norbert Conzemius. Part has been zoned residential one. They would ask for a rezoning of the entire area to R3 planned unit zoning. They generally described the layout of the develop- ment the picnic areas, toddler areas, organized game areas, the additional set backs from Westview Drive or the minimums required. MINUTES OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING (cont'd) February 14, 1972 Page 2 Stated that the units would be approximately $Z6, 000 for the A type and sgg, 000 for the B type. There would be 54 of the A type, 58 of the B type. The A type would have a double garage, the B type a single garage. There would be a total of llZ units in the area. They would be in clusters of 4 or 6 units. They would not be mixed but would be all A or all B within each cluster. All garages would face into the development and not onto the street. There would be an open area for guest parking. Including the garages there would be 32 1 parking stalls, approximately 14. 1 acres of land. This is a unit density of 7.9 units per acre. This unit development was turned over to the study committee of Mr. Trautman, Mr. Petersen, Mr. Willeke and Mr. Berkowitz of TKDA. The next item was the presentation from Mr. Darrel Berkowitz, TKDA, of the Capital Improvements Program, part I, Water Distribution System and part II, streets, roads and bridges. After a complete review (see copy of streets, roads and bridges program attached) was indicated that we would talk of park recreation and sidewalks at the next regular Planning Commission Meeting of February 28. Next item of discussion was the proposed amendment to the Sign Ordinance Section of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Dennis Pellant from the Chamber of Commerce was present and stated: 1) a three year time limit seems appropriate, 2) that since the downtown businessmen, the Chamber and the Planning Commission were on the initial study committee he thought that the proposal would be accepted by those groups, 3) that on behalf of the Chamber they would recommend that the proposal would be submitted to the council for approval. There was a motion by Mr. Siec-~:ert seconded by Mr. Trautrnan to recommend the amendment to the ordinance as edited by the City Engineer and the City Attorney. Motion unanimously passed. Next item was a request for a Montessori School to be located at 1120 Bahls Dr~ve in apartment 137. The engineer indicated that although the R3 zoning section of the ordinance allowed for construction of public and parochial schools within an R3 zone there was nothing that directly related to as a home occupation within a residential development unit. They asked that the City Engineer refer to the Attorney to see what legal problems may be confronted in turning the request down. It was asked that the persons petiti>ning for the unit be invited to the next Planning Commission Meeting so that they might more fully explain the operation and what possible conflicts there may be with residential development living. (See copy of letter attached from the Montessori School and the letter of request by Mr. Petersen for the persons to appear at the next regular ~lanning Commission Meeting. Next Planning Commission Chairman Petersen read his correspondence consisting of a letter from Denmark Township asking that they be notified of next Township Meeting so that they might be in attendance. Also suggested that the Home Occupa- tions Section as edited may be referred to the Council for action at their next meeting. It was indicated by Mr. Wilson that the requested changes for the Home Occupations section had gone to the Council at their last meeting for their review and that part of the request of the Planning Commission was for the finance comm- ittee to set up a licensing procedure and determine how this financing would be accomplished and enforced. MINUTES OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING {cont' d) February 14, 1972 Page 3 Next Chairman Petersen made some general comments in regard to the community facilities section, asked if any of the junior members had done any further background work in regard to community center facilities. Steve Gartzke indicated that they had checked into the YMCA feasibility and requirements and were not prepared to make a full report at this time. The junior members were asked to meet prior to the next regular meeting and submit a interim report on their findings in regard to Youth Center and community facilities. The engineer informed the Planning Commission that the next City Council Meeting had been set for February ZZ, however that was State caucus night and the Council may vary well postpone their meeting from February ZZ to February Z8 in which the case the Planning Commission would meet in the City Library rather than the City Hall on the gSth of February. Completed our meeting at approximately 10:30 PM. John Davidson, City Engineer EDWARD B. MeMENOMY SAMUEL H. HERTOGS DONALD J. FLUEGEL McMENOMY, HERTOGS 6. FLUEGEL ATTORNEYS AT LAW ROSEMOUNT, MINNESOTA 55068 February 7, 1972 John Davidson City Engineer City Hall Hastings, Minnesota Dear John: I am enclosing a first draft of a form that I think will accomplish the purpose that you and I have in mind regarding the 5% park fee. Please review it and contact me so that we can discuss it prior to the next Planning Commission meeting to see whether any changes are warranted. Thank you.

TO: FROM: RE: FROM: DATE: MEMORANDUM Mr. John Davidson, City Engineer Hastings Planning Commission City of Hastings Mr. DuWayne I~asma, TI(DA Capital Improvements Program for 1973-1977 Report for the City of Hastings Roads and Bridges Report Mr. Darrel H. Berkowlt% TI(DA Febr,uarY 14, 197Z Condition of the existing roads within the City limits are shown on Drawing No. 1. Designated roadways for Federal, State and County aid par- ticipation are shown on Drawing No. 2. Proposed street construction and reconstruction are shown on Drawing No. 3. MUNICIPAL STATE AID ROAD FINANCING The mileage of Municipal State Aid streets within Hastings is limited to ZO percent of the total street mileage. Therefore, increasing the mileage of city streets by continued development will increase the mileage of Municipal State Aid streets. Funds allocated to the city from the State are based on needs of the Municipal State Aid streets from year to year. Needs are determined by traffic volume and increased mileage established for Municipal State Aid streets. These funds can be spent on Municipal State Aid streets only. If not used .in a given year, they can be used another year. The funds can be used for the construction of bridges, roadways, curb and gutter, sidewalks and storm sewers to the extent of the area drained within the right-of=way limits of the roadway. Property owners on newly constructed Municipal State Aid streets are assessed one-half of the total construction cost for roadway, curb and gutter, sidewalk and storm sewer. -1- l~roperty owners on a reconstructed Municipal State Aid street are assessed one-half the construction cost of curb and gutter and sidewalk and the proportionate cost for storm sewer (determined by the ratio of owner area to total area drained). MUNICIPAL STATE AID ROADS NEW CONSTRUCTION Pleasant Drive from CSAH 42 (north) to CSAH 47 (south). Construction has been progressing in the preceding years. It is desirable to finish construction from TH55 (north) to CSAH 47 (south) in the next five years. Included in this would be construction of a bridge over the Vermillion River. Construction from TH55 (south) to CSAH 4~,~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). This project should be done within the next five years, with the use of turn-back funds (funds that were established for the project in previous years). Pine Street from Znd Street (north) to TH55 (south). Ramsey and Tyler Streets from 10th Street (north) to Eighteenth Street (south). Ramsey and Tyler Streets from 2nd Street (north) to 10th Street (south). The above order of projects for reconstruction is shown in relationship to recommended priorities of reconstruction. Reconstruction scheduling should be coordinated with storm sewer studies. Project No. 2 woukt alsobe coordinated with sanitary sewer reconstruction on Pine Street from 3rd Street to 6th Street. CITY STREETS NEW CONSTRUCTION New construction of city streets will proceed as future development continues. The cost of construction is assessed to the property owner. An exception to this, would be the recommended construction of a new street between Ramsey and Tyler at approximately 1ZthStreet or 13thStreet. The cost of this street would be paid by the city. At this time, construction of improved and unimproved gravel city streets will be done, as property owners request it. The cost of construction is assessed to the property owner. Completion of Industrial Park streets will be done as industry moves in. Funds ar~Ae_p.r~ie~0r ~h~,s! REC ONSTRUC T ION Reconstruction of existing unimproved bituminous streets should be considered in the 5-Z0 year program. This program would be coordinated with the storm sewer studies. The exception to this, is 6thStreet from Pine Street to Forest, Street where a sanitary sewer will be replaced in the 0-5 year program. The street reconstruction should be done in the same program. The methods of financing the reconstruction program should be established prior to its beginning. Also prior to establishing the reconstruction program, a thorough traffic study should be made of 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 Vermillion Street. STATE HIGHWAYS REC ONSTRUC T ION Reconstruction of the TH316 and TH61 intersection at the south end of the city is recommended in the 0-5 year construction program. This would depend o.n whether or not the Minnesota Highway Department would establish a program for the construction. Project would be funded by the State.
